Shape the next generation of forensic nursing, one exam at a time. SAFE-T System, within Penn State's Ross and Carol Nese College of Nursing, is seeking highly-skilled Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) for the position of TeleSANE - Remote Forensic Nurse Expert (part-time / on-call).
About this Position:
Somewhere tonight, a less experienced SANE is walking into an exam room alone, in a rural or medically underserved community, carrying the weight of a survivor's most vulnerable moment. Your years of independent practice, adult and pediatric, are exactly what that nurse needs in the room with them. The Sexual Assault Forensic Examination Telehealth (SAFE-T ) System teleSANE team exists so your expertise doesn't stay contained to your own caseload. It multiplies, through real-time mentorship, through modeling trauma-informed, person-centered care, and through the kind of peer partnership that strengthens the whole field of forensic nursing.
As a SAFE-T TeleSANE, you provide real-time peer mentorship and quality assurance via telehealth during acute sexual assault and intimate partner violence forensic examinations across the lifespan, including pediatric cases, at SAFE-T partnered hospitals You'll join a team of expert teleSANEs recruited from across the nation, a peer network built on the same standard you're helping set: evidence-based, compassionate forensic care, wherever a survivor walks through the door. Consultations happen from a private, secure home or office setup using equipment and technology provided by SAFE-T. You'll need reliable, secure wifi and a quiet, confidential space free of interruption to protect patient privacy.
This role is designed as supplemental work for forensic nurses already practicing as a SANE in a bedside role. Shifts cover evenings and weekends (5 p.m. to 5 a.m. Eastern), with 48 hours expected monthly and 24 of those falling on weekends. Self-scheduling within that window means you control which shifts you take around your existing position. This is an on-call, part-time wage-based position and is not eligible for benefits (health insurance, PTO, retirement).
Joining the TeleSANE team means joining a small, close-knit community of expert forensic nurses from across the country. You'll receive individualized mentorship in the teleSANE role for your own continued growth, and you will have access to a professional environment built around expertise.
You'll also be giving back to the profession that shaped you: mentoring novice forensic nurses in real time, raising the quality of sexual assault and intimate partner violence care available in communities that need it most, and contributing to research and innovation that helps set the national standard for this field. It's a chance to do work that matters at scale, as part of a nationally recognized program with demonstrated impact.
Job Duties:

• Provide expert forensic nursing consultation during real-time, acute sexual assault and intimate partner violence examinations (via telehealth) for patients of all ages (birth through elder adult).

• Be prepared to actively receive cases and provide mentorship during your scheduled call time.

• Hold SANE-A and/or SANE-P certification from the Commission for Forensic Nursing Certification (CFNC), affiliated with the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN).
• Upon hire, applicants are asked to obtain nursing compact licensure and/or applicable state licensure(s).
