Nursing school - BSN - 4yrs (more difficult with an A.S.) then at least 3-4 years of clinical experience before you try to offer your expertise to attorneys or insurance companies.
I am considering LNC while I make the transition from nursing to the legal realm. I am considering a J.D. or MLS degree as I've always been so intrigued by the legal system and have always dreamt of being a lawyer. I've been a nurse for 5 years (all critical care experience) but currently work in the corporate world as a Quality Nurse. I love my job and work remotely, but would love to dabble in LNC work while I'm in school studying law... my question is this: I'm not in the mindset to make this a full time business or anything like that, but is there a good resource for experienced nurses who wish to subcontract under other LNCs on a very part time bases (mostly just for experience)? TIA
I am a RN, BSN with 2+ years experience in occupational health setting. I have been planning for CLNC since a year but the idea of switching to legal nursing world kind of scares me. Thousands of questions hover around my mind. Tell me what should I do?
Has this field dried up? I notice very little discussion about it on one nursing message board and I don't seem many recent youtube videos in this space. Is Legal Nurse Consultant still a thing?
I have been a nurse for 26 years with a lot of experience in multiple areas. I am very disenchanted with caring for patients right now. I was attacked by a patient and fired for fighting back as I was by myself with no help coming. I have a-lawyer asking for a resume. I have that but, need to set a fee schedule. I know of the 3x hourly rate formula. How do I put this into a written document for potentially my first client?
Hey there! You must be a registered nurse with clinical experience before you can be a legal nurse consultant. So going for your nursing degree is the only pathway to reach that goal.
I want to work as a corrections nurse, get my forensics nursing certificate, work in forensics nursing and then work as a legal nurse cunsultant. Will this path be the right direction to be a legal nurse consultant?
A retired nurse depending on certain circumstances (how many years, to what capacity, etc.,) can practice as an LNC. Working directly with a firm and behind the scenes work is a good option.
If I already have a paralegal and nursing degree how do I start?

Hi! Yes, it is. Your best bet is to reach out to LNC practices via LinkedIn.

LNC is still very much active. More nurses have jumped in and it is more competitive.

Can a retired RN become a legal consultant?

This was very helpful! Are there certain specialty areas that best prepare one for a legal nurse consulting career?
Isn't it wild that I found this video 10 years ago and commented on it? And now we've been chatting...all coming full circle 🙂
