The job is not easy. And, Tracy Yingling, a forensic nurse and coordinator of Carrol Hospital's Forensic Nurse Examiner program in Maryland, will be the first to tell you that the emotional toll is great. But she will also tell you that what she and other forensic nurses do is well worth its challenges. Working in health care and with the criminal justice system, forensic nurses like Tracy can help provide evidence needed to find justice for the victims of rape, child abuse, domestic violence and human trafficking. And by doing so, they are impacting countless lives from the hospital to the court room.
