Forensic Nurses often work with lawyers and help collect and evaluate medical evidence, and interview victims. Careers in this field range from emergency room trauma and domestic violence nursing in hospitals to Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners and Coroners. Some may serve as legal consultants.

Legal Nurses work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, medical centers, and even consulting firms. In addition to a medical background, Legal Nurses have training in personal and injury and medical malpractice law, as well as the processes of civil litigation. Highly educated Legal Nurses often are in high-demand and earn above-average nursing salaries.
