A rape crisis in NC: Shortage of nurses specially trained to examine victims of sexual assault By Frances Weller | January 26, 2021 at 2:30 PM EST - Updated January 26 at 5:41 PM WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - A troubling, new report from Carolina Public Press uncovered a shortage across the state of sexual assault nurse examiners (SANE) nurses, who are specially trained to treat and help a victim of rape. SANE nurses are one of the first in the emergency room when a woman or a man comes in after a traumatic sexual assault. They are trained in evidence collection after someone has been the victim of a sexual assault and know the type of care that a person that has been assaulted is likely to need, including the need for emergency contraceptives and what to do for prevention of sexually transmitted infections.
