Abstract
BackgroundSexual assault nurse examiners are highly specialized trained nurses. MethodsIn order to meet our institution's need to recruit and train experienced registered nurses as sexual assault nurse examiners, we developed a multimethod, simulation-based training model designed to streamline the educational process and preserve the quality of education. The training program incorporated human manikin-based simulation and specially trained actors. ResultsIn less than one year, this program trained enough registered nurses to provide 24-hour coverage for our institution's five facilities. ConclusionSimulation-based training that incorporates simulated sexual assault victims is an effective model that meets the goals of staffing specially trained sexual assault nurse examiners.
