The Training and Skills You Need to Become a Legal Nurse Consultant
A Legal Nurse Consultant (LNC) is a registered nurse or RN that works as a contact between knowing medicine and understanding the law. They generally consult with attorneys and people who are involved in medical issues. They will have general knowledge in personal injury, workers’ compensation and wrongful termination cases.
Many RN’s work on medical malpractice law suits. Attorneys are not familiar with medical terms or how to read medical records like RN’s are; a LNC bridges the gap between the two.
What does it take to become a Legal Nurse Consultant?
Every LNC is a registered nurse first. They differ from Paralegals because a Legal Nurse Consultant deals only with medical related issues. A Paralegal will assist an attorney in drafting and filing briefs on behalf of the law firm while an LNC will only work within the scope of nursing.
Becoming a Legal Nurse Consultant allows a nurse to move from the clinical aspect of their job and explore an office environment. Many who are LNC’s have experience in medical issues that attorneys do not. Since medical lawsuits have risen in number over the past few years, a nurse who wants to work with a law firm and use their education and expertise must obtain a degree or certificate.
Most educational programs are offered online. If you are going to further your education, make sure to pick a school that is favored by the medical association. There are several programs that are geared towards Legal Nurse Consulting or Forensic Nursing.
What are the rewards of becoming a Legal Nurse Consultant?
The career choice to work within the legal field is a plus, gone are the twelve hour days and or the night shift. Many law firms operate during business hours with attorneys burning the midnight oil.
Health care is a growing field just as much as the legal arena. LNC’s are sought after because of their knowledge of medical terms, standards of care and they can prepare medical summaries for trial. Many who have extensive knowledge in a particular area can be used as an expert witness at trial. They are an asset to any firm that practices medical related law.
How in demand are Legal Nurse Consultants?
The demand for a LNC is growing because many attorneys who practice medical malpractice suits are limited on their knowledge of medical terms. The American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants (AALNC) is devoted to keeping LNC’s informed about job opportunities. They also help to distinguish the difference between Paralegals and Legal Nurse Consultants.
An LNC might play the dual role in a smaller law firm, but a larger firm will use LNC’s to help with medical issues that a Paralegal or attorney doesn’t have experience in. LNC’s are held to a code of ethics just like a Para-professional or attorney.
If you have been an RN for a few years and working with a law firm sounds like a challenging and rewarding career change for you, then do more research on the internet. All you need to do is visit websites that cover the career in more detail.

Decorator, how to break in, can you make a living? Painting,consultant, nurse,writer?
Help! I’m a bit burned out in the nursing field. In the medical field for 26 yrs.
Have always loved to paint, have sold a few. Very basic, abstract, funky stuff.
Love interior decorating, painting assoc. with that, furniture design, & the arts.
Any ideas if I can make a living at these, even a meager one?
And HOW to get started or break into this & the art world?
Also done informal consulting on love lives/dating with friends & friends of friends with success, & other ‘advice’ situations which I love. How the heck can you turn that into a living?
I enjoy writing, problem solving, am very resourceful! Be a personal assistant to someone interesting?
Would love to have a flea market/local art place. Takes all your time, I hear very low income.
My only child I raised on my own, is in college .Also, I recently injured my back,so finding a nsg. job even p-time just to pay the bills is a challenge. Most all are quite physical and Dr’s offices won’t hire RN’s.Too cheap!
I am an RN who left nursing due to an injury. Have you considered being a legal nursing consultant? You can use your nursing knowledge without the physical requirements. Or perhaps use your artistic skills to paint interpretive holistic concepts for patients, families in stress, hospitals, clinics, hospice, nursing schools etc. Maybe you could sell them on EBay – there is always someone out there looking for what you have to offer. Good luck on your endeavors.
I was a junior doctor and I gave up my job because of bullying?
This is the headline of a survey done recently…Half of junior doctors in an Auckland survey say they have been bullied by nurses or senior doctors.
I suffered so much that at the end I gave up what I had done for the last 20 years after all those years of studies….
No one else in my entire life made me suffer more a consultant while I was working in a small city…He would encourage the nursing staff to page me unnessary..making derogatory comment…daily abuse at work and even asked the old lady living beside my flat to report to him my daily activities…gave me poor report for the whole year….asking different people to leave rubbish outside my door…leaving a garden glove with sign of middle finger in front of my door….and the list goes on and on and on….I still can not understand what made him to be crazy like that but I just think some people are passionate about bullying behaviour…I still have depression and get sad when I think about it..but a lot better now….what would you have done if you were in my shoes.?
Don’t take this personally, but that’s what I hate about doctors. The Hypocratic oath – ‘Do no harm’ means nothing to them. I have ‘friends’ who are doctors who do not care about their girlfriends (emotionally abuses them by cheating, running them down etc), talk openly about their patients’ conditions (embarassing stories but nevertheless, genuine medical incidences), and yes, they gossip about their friends all the time.
To add insult to injury, they are always scheming on how to make moer money from their patients. One Indian doctor said, I need to ‘play around’ with a certain patient so that he could earn enough money that month to buy a new golf set!
I think your colleague falls into this ‘category’. But as for you, I fail to see why you never acknowledge it was childish behaviour and recommend him or yourself to see a therapist?
Doctors make me sick…!
Would you vote for me?
Hi all,
Policies I’ve thought of so far include (in no particular order and have been "refined" from another question I posted yesterday):
1) Tougher child benefit schemes, so that it’s only available to people whom have permanent residence in the UK. I’m under the impression pretty much anyone can claim this – even if their children do not reside in this country. Child benefit should remain "as is" now, if you are married, but should have a "reducing quota" if you’re single and are still having children. For example, a single person with 1 child, gets full benefits. 2 children, gets 100% for the first child, perhaps 75% for the second. Third child gets harsher – Perhaps 75/50/25. Also! Single parents should not be able to claim a property so easily. Spending should be increased on sex education and preventative pregnancy measures.
2) Cuts in spending on NEW religious buildings – and to spend that money elsewhere on prolong existing religious buildings (we have enough already I think!).
3) Introduction of a new tax (I think would need to be quite high) on overseas transactions – so that anyone sending money away from the UK, are taxed for it (on the transactions value), thus our treasury retains a higher percentage of that money for public spending.
4) More regular, but "online" Prime Ministers Questions. Why give MP’s a reason to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds of tax payers money on temporary or permanent residence in London, when technology will allow us to do everything we need to do, from our very own homes / constituancies? We abolish "MP allowances" completely and lower MP salaries as they will have no reason to claim such high salaries when they’re confined to their own localities. This will save the taxpayer up to 20 million pounds per year in MP salaries and perhaps that much again in the abolishment of MP allowances.
5) Reduce the number of councillors in all constituancies. I live in Nottingham and our councillors do absolutely nothing for us – a huge waste of tax payers money.
6) Get out of the EU – We should be free to make our own laws, trades and legislation. I appreciate that this may not be a popular one, but in order to get the harder punishments on criminals and gain control of our borders, laws and legislations, it’s an absolute neccessity. This will also save the tax payer up to 40 million pounds per DAY.
7) Human rights should be ammended so that (convicted 100% sure) criminals lose a majority of their rights.
Prisons should be made into harsher environments and not the hotels that they are now. The "fear" of going to prison should (alone) be enough to deter people from committing crime.
9) Consider re-introducing the death sentence. This would only be used in severe cases – rapists, murderers, paedophiles etc. Why are we paying money to keep these people alive and safe?
10) Massive increases on spending on the NHS and pensions. NO changes to minimum wage. A valid point was made in a previous post that a lot of NHS spending is on the higher earners in the NHS – such as consultants etc. This needs to be made more widespread to nurses and junior doctors. Salaries of grades should be given "caps" and "responsibility" of the people that earn these high salaries should be clearly defined. The same person also noted that minimum wages should be greatly increased. I, however greatly oppose this. Small businesses are making people redundant day-by-day and one of the main reasons for this is that their overheads (primarily salaries) are a great stress on the business finances – especially during these hard-times. If the minimum wage were to continue increasing now, it would bring about more redundancies and the end of thousands more small businesses. Minimum wage must be held "as is" for the short-term.
11) Trade Unions should have less power. We saw recently how a trade unions demands did more worse than good with the oil workers strike at Total.
12) Immediate withdrawal of all troops from Iraq – reparations to be paid over time to the re-building of Iraq (thanks to the warmonger of an ex-PM of ours!)
13) More funding to border control / customs etc.
14) This kinda overlaps point 7, but people whom preach hatred among religious groups should be thrown out of a plane with an empty / unpacked parachute strapped to their back in their own country.
15) Long-term unemployed (2 years) whom are fit to work, should have all benefits immediately stopped – and will not be eligible to apply for unemployment benefit again for another 3 years. Conditions can be applied to this so that (for example) someone whom was made redundant, may have a longer period of time to find a job. Someone whom left their job of their own accord will be entitled to less time. Enforcement of stricter rules on this would save the taxpayer billions!!!
16) Police to have paperwork reduced. Consider the possiblity of having "criminal bounties" for police officers arresti
just noticed it’s not pasted all in… here’s the rest:
16) Police to have paperwork reduced. Consider the possiblity of having "criminal bounties" for police officers arresting wanted / suspected criminals.
17) Social services to have paperwork reduced, and should be given more authority towards the protection of children.
18) Increased pay for lower ranked members of the armed forces.
19) Equality amongst British people. Seems rather unfair that (for example) English tax payers are not entitled to some medicines for free from the NHS. Also, English students are not entitled to free university fees (I personally think that students should pay these fees so I’m in favour of the English way of doing this).
No.
And one of the reasons is limiting the power of the unions. They helped the workers in the Total dispute.

Help–Continue co-sleeping or CIO???
My 6 mo old daughter has slept in our room since birth, first in a cosleeper and now in our bed. We all sleep well and neither of us mind the situation. My daughter wakes a few times in the night and nurses briefly and then drifts off to sleep. Daytime naps are more of the same or in her swing. When I place her in her crib naps are short lived. I am going back to work in 2 mo and she will have to go to daycare 3 days a week. I am extremely concerned that she will have trouble napping there because she won’t be given the sleep aids that she currently has, so as a favor to her I feel like I need to sleep train her now. So far I’ve followed the Dr. Sears/attachment parenting theory and my lactation consultant tells me know to drop all night feeds because it can help to keep up my supply when I return to work. What should I do? I’m so conflicted…I just want her transition and time spent in daycare to be successful!
Please don’t suggest that I quit my job. Thanks!
I hate the idea of making her CIO. All my friends, who are wonderful people, have resorted to CIO and say it is brief period of yuckiness. There children are well-adjusted and good sleepers (they range in age from 5 years to 18 mo). I have tried putting her in her crib asleep and then going in and soothing her when she wakes, but she wakes every 45 minutes or so so I just cave and bring her back to our bed.
My friends who work full time, ALL cosleep because they feel that they get little enough time with their kids, and to be honest, my cosleepers have all done a good job transitioning when they were ready. DON’T drop night time feeds! If she’s at daycare during the day, she won’t actually get milk from you! Expressed is fine, but still…I’d keep nursing, and be prepared to pump during the day at work so that your baby has your milk while at daycare. If you do it at each of your breaks, and store it, you can send it to day care with her, and then still maintain your supply. I can’t believe a LC would tell you differently.
The good news is that at day care, the environment will be completely different. She won’t expect all the sleep aids that she has at home because she’s not at home. I’d work more on her transition to day care, although at six months that will be different enough.
how about this list its long but i laughed at some of them did you ?
