Washington Governor Jay Inslee signed a measure into law Thursday morning that will expand training opportunities for sexual assault nurse examiners online and at Washington State University’s College of Nursing.  The bill’s prime sponsor, Goldendale Representative Gina Mosbrucker, says this legislation is a way to address a serious shortage of sexual assault nurse examiners across the state in rural and underserved areas, particularly in Eastern Washington.  House Bill 1622 requires the Washington State University College of Nursing to establish online training to provide nurses in rural and underserved communities access to at least 40 hours of training, a clinical training site at the WSU College of Nursing with clinical training requirements established by the U.S. Department of Justice, and scholarships for nurses to complete the training.  Mosbrucker says the WSU College of Nursing is already prepared to begin its first training in Spokane. She also expects training to expand in the future into Central Washington, including Yakima.
