This area of nursing was new, not even officially recognized yet by the American Nurses Association. It was wonderful and meaningful work and I saw hundred of adults and children who had been victims of horrible crimes, many perpetrated by those they loved the most. The courage of these victims, in coming forward, is what helped me continue to do the work I did. I was one of 74 nurses that met to form the International Association of Forensic Nurses ( though there were far more of us involved in the work of forensics ) and, in 1995, the American Nurses Association officially recognized this as a speciality for nurses. IAFN membership has grown to over 3500 worldwide. <br /><br />People, such as you, who are willing to speak up about your pain and suffering, help others come forward. Thank you for your bravery.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102215846501723418.post-67829011967399858372010-03-17T05:03:20.658-07:002010-03-17T05:03:20.658-07:00This makes me weep - with sorrow for what you have...This makes me weep - with sorrow for what you have gone through, and with joy for what you have become.<br /><br />Butterfly<br />www.reasonsyoushouldntfuckkids.wordpress.comButterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10718446585019189178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102215846501723418.post-1499587842396771332009-07-09T12:17:38.349-07:002009-07-09T12:17:38.349-07:00Crying and adding you to my blogroll.

WE went to your blog and from that brief exposure, OUR hearts went out to you.<BR/><BR/>You are a beacon of hope to others - a survivor of life experiences no one should have to go through. You share your experience, strength, and hope to reach out to other suffering people.<BR/><BR/>God bless you, your journey out of the dark and into the light, and all those you are guiding into the light with you.<BR/><BR/>Sending prayers to you and yours',<BR/>Prayer GirlOne Prayer Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455437909918314217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102215846501723418.post-43364093085882848212008-11-25T17:19:00.000-08:002008-11-25T17:19:00.000-08:00Thank you for letting me add you to my blog roll a...Thank you for letting me add you to my blog roll and yes I find that the more we know about ourselves and each other then the healing can begin.
