Does anyone know how SANE nurses are trained? Are they given the propaganda that women practically never lie about rape?

When a nurse chooses to specialize in this area, I think odds are overwhelming that she is emotionally wrapped up in rape and "women's issues." That is a generalization, of course.

It would not be odd for a nurse to be sympathetic to an alleged victim. Let's remember that most alleged rape victims are truthful, first of all, and second, nurses operate from a calling to care for their patients and help them heal, so I don't think the way they approach recording their observations is a function of the propaganda, but it may be in some cases. As long as the nurses record observations accurately and objectively, I don't think their personal sentiments are an issue. But I would not be surprised if there are a few who would fudge their medical ethics a bit if they have an axe to grind against men in general.

Not always, I am currently in school studying to become a Forensic Nurse. I will take the course work for a SANE nurse. I am hardly wrapped up in rape and women's issues.

In fact, I am going into this field for two reasons. First is my love for forensics and if I wanted to spend 12 years more in school I would have attended medical school to become a forensic pathologist.

Secondly I look at my future position as another way to keep rapists, child molesters, murderers, abusers of the elderly and/or handicapped off the streets and in prison where they belong.

I have no agenda accept for helping put away those who prey on other people.
