SANE Appreciation
July 1st, 2025
It's time to shine the spotlight on one of our amazing Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE), Rose McDonald!
Rose is a retired Registered Nurse with 36 years of experience, including 22 years in Cardiology. Rose joined the SANE team in September 2024, recruited by two longtime friends and colleagues already part of the team.
"I feel privileged to provide trauma-informed care to individuals affected by sexual assault and to work alongside a team of compassionate, empathetic nurses. Survivors can be incredibly vulnerable, so offering support in a caring, confidential, and non-judgmental way is essential.
We, as SANE nurses, have access to many resources to offer survivors, and I hope these tools help support and empower them as they begin their journey of healing." (Rose, RN, SANE)
The SANE team is truly lucky to have Rose. Her compassion, experience, and dedication bring comfort and strength to every survivor she supports
