"As an Emergency Nurse in Boston, at a Level 1 Trauma Center, I worked closely with law enforcement and EMS daily. I often played a key role in maintaining the chain of custody, to preserve evidence, in criminal cases. My sharp assessment skills help me to quickly obtain information to re-create a patient’s mechanism of injury or onset of illness. I’ve also become very proficient at electronic documentation and deciphering reams of medical records. These are just a few examples of ways in which my innate nursing skills, can be utilized to work collaboratively, with legal practices."
