The aim is to state how the practice of forensic nursing occurs in the United States of America. This specialty
is widely discussed among north american nurses, but it is less known among brazilian nurses. Forensic Nursing practice
occurs in various places, from hospitals to justice tribunals, in hospital services and or in the community. It contributes
with health services Ethical Committees, with educational activities to individuals or groups in risk behaviors (drugs or
alcohol abuse) and organizing campaigns against violence. Once there is an emphasis in the preventive education, nurses
could act in highlights when comparing to other involved professionals, specially regarding the practice with the victim,
as the responsible to take detailed exams and gathering contamination evidences, which are fundamental to the forensic
investigation. Forensic nurses’ practice enables the bonding with the victims and establish trust relationships among the
ones who work in the justice field, fostering collaboration with the forensic examination.
