Episode description
Idaho State Police is working to train about 250 sexual assault nurse examiners (SANE) by the end of the year despite our state’s nursing shortages. Host Lindsay Van Allen is joined by Idaho Reports’ Ruth Brown to break down what a SANE nurse is trained to do, and how they can potentially help the citizens of Idaho. Plus, Brown outlines some of the challenges victims of sexual assault currently face, including the unexpected issue minors have when trying to access sexual assault exams without parental consent.
