What are 'Sane' professionals and what do they do?

A SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) is a registered nurse who has specialized training to provide comprehensive care to sexual assault survivors. SANEs perform forensic examinations, collect evidence, and offer support and education to patients. They also may testify in court as expert witnesses and collaborate closely with law enforcement and advocacy groups. The goal of a SANE is to ensure compassionate care while maintaining the integrity of forensic evidence.

To thrive as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE), you need a valid RN license, extensive clinical experience, and specialized SANE training or certification.

Compassion, strong communication skills, and the ability to remain calm under pressure are key soft skills for supporting victims and collaborating with law enforcement. These competencies ensure the delivery of trauma-informed care and the integrity of forensic evidence in sensitive cases.

Job description

Bay Area Women's Center seeks an Adolescent/Adult Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE-A) to join our team. The SANE program provides services to adults and children over 12 years of age. The SANE-A is an employee with flexible scheduling, collaborating to set a monthly on-call schedule, and responding when a survivor requests an exam.

BAWC stands as a beacon of hope and support for individuals facing domestic and sexual violence. The center offers a range of vital services for survivors, including medical-forensic services, ensuring that every person in need receives the care and assistance necessary to rebuild and empower their lives.

The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program plays a crucial role in a survivor's healing. The SANE nurse provides compassionate, non-judgmental care to survivors. This care may include assessment for pregnancy and infections, written and photographic documentation, referrals for medical and psychological follow-up, and support during the exam to help the survivor understand the effects of trauma. The medical forensic examination is critical in the prosecution process.

Specific Duties:

  • Perform medical-forensic exams, which may include obtaining a patient history, a head-to-toe physical assessment for trauma, a detailed genital exam, forensic evidence collection, written & photographic documentation, assessing for mandatory reporting status, reporting when appropriate, administering appropriate prophylactic medications per protocols & recommending appropriate referrals.
  • Participate in professional development as determined by the SANE program, including staff meetings, conferences, and in-service training.
  • Respond to requests within 60 minutes of the initial call when on call.

BAWC does not discriminate on the basis of religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, marital status, disability, gender identification/expression, sexual orientation/expression, partisan considerations, genetic information, or any protected class.

Requirements

  • Two years of nursing in the Emergency Department, Critical Care, Women's Health, or Public Health.
  • Maintain current Registered Nurse licensure or higher.
  • Maintain valid malpractice insurance (1,000,000/3,000,000) (reimbursed by BAWC)
  • Obtain certification within 3 years of SANE Practice.
  • The SANE is expected to adhere to agency policies and procedures, as well as protocols set by the Clinical Nurse Manager and/or the management of the SANE Program.

Benefits

Becoming a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) allows one to make a profound impact on the lives of adults and children who have experienced sexual abuse. These professionals provide compassionate, trauma-informed care that helps young survivors feel safe and heard during an incredibly vulnerable time.

SANEs receive advanced training in forensic examinations, trauma-informed practices, and legal documentation, thereby enhancing their clinical skills and contributing to their professional development. This specialized expertise equips you with skills to handle complex cases with sensitivity and precision.

On a personal level, many SANEs find deep fulfillment in their work. Helping survivors navigate trauma and being part of a system that seeks justice and healing brings a strong sense of purpose. Moreover, SANEs empower survivors by validating their experiences, ensuring they receive respectful, dignified care, reinforcing their worth, and supporting their recovery.
