About Us
Our Mission:
To provide trauma-informed, evidence-based, competent forensic nursing care to victims of violent or sexual assault across rural Nevada. We are dedicated to providing advocacy to all patients without bias or discrimination. Every patient under our care will have continued holistic support as we work together through their journey from victim to survivor.
NVIFN is the first of its kind being fully mobile. We are able to take our services anywhere through rural Nevada.
We currently have an office in Elko, Nevada where we provide all our regular services and follow up exams for survivors upon request.
We collaborate with our community and are contracted with NNRH and Great Basin CAC to care for survivors across the life span.
Our services include:
- Forensic investigations
- SANE A and SANE P exams
- Strangulation assessments
- DV and IVP assessments
- Advocacy
- Nurse education, trainings, and simulations
- Presentations upon request
