In this episode, we speak with Maureen Kerr RN, who is certified as a sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE). Maureen has been a registered nurse since 2019 and has been working in the emergency department at Glenbrook Hospital since then. Shortly after accepting that position, she also took it upon herself to become registered as a SANE nurse in order to thoroughly conduct sexual assault forensic exams and provide acute and empathetic care to traumatized survivors.

Throughout the episode, we touch on the rampant problem of sexual violence in our modern society. We describe the emergence of trauma-informed care and how it can help alleviate the impact these acts of violence cause towards victims and their families, as well as members of the healthcare team.
