Forensic Nurses: Holding Hands in the Aftermath of Violence

Описание: Forensic nurses don’t just treat injuries.
They witness the aftermath of violence.
They gather evidence while holding back tears.
They document trauma while preserving dignity.
They listen to the stories no one else wants to hear.

This video honors the nurses on the frontlines of human suffering—
those who care for survivors of:

Sexual assault

Domestic violence

Child abuse

Homicide attempts

The worst of what people do to each other

They hear the details.
They see the bruises no one else saw.
And they never forget the faces.

💥 The Psychological Cost of Caring in Silence:
Forensic nurses:

Carry trauma that isn’t theirs

Walk the blurred line between medicine and law

Sit with victims no one else knows how to face

Show up in exam rooms, courtrooms, and crime scenes

Then cry in their cars, alone

They do all of this while:

Understaffed

Overlooked

Given one hour for what requires five

With no debriefing, no trauma counseling, no space to process

And yet… they keep showing up.
They don’t just collect evidence—
They carry the weight of silence.

🧠 This Is More Than Burnout — It’s Compassion Fatigue in Its Rawest Form.
These nurses are asked to be investigators, advocates, healers, and emotional anchors.
And they do it without recognition. Without support. Without rest.

It’s time that changed.

❤️ To Every Forensic Nurse:
You are the voice for the voiceless.
You are the calm after chaos.
You are the ones who walk survivors back to dignity.

You deserve:

✔️ Trauma-informed mental health support
✔️ Rest
✔️ Staffing that reflects the gravity of your work
✔️ Protection from the emotional fallout of bearing witness, over and over again

You are not invisible.
You are not alone.
And we rebuild our own.
