Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Leah Helmbrecht is an advocate for the victims she sees daily at work. One question that she is often asked is, “can men be Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners?” So, Leah invited Shaun Johnson, BSN, RN, ME-SAFE-A, SANE-A, MPHc, of The SANE Corner, who currently works as a SANE, to join her in a discussion on this episode of Nurse Converse. Shaun shares his nursing journey and why he became a SANE, challenges he faces as a cis hetero SANE, and advice for male nurses who are interested in this specialty.
