Testimonials
“I found the legal
information most helpful. The book did a great job
defining legal definitions and helping you understand
what the Legal Nurse Consultants’ job actually entails.
I also enjoyed the “hands on” portion of the course.”

2. Why A Nurse and
Not A Doctor?
-
The Nurse is the
primary care giver of the patient and often is the
first one to identify problems in assessments,
change in mental status, lab abnormalities, and
other observations in patient condition.
-
A MD cannot speak on
behalf of a nurse when it comes to nursing, related
issues, or standards of care. Nurses are much more
knowledgeable of hospital policies and procedures.
-
A Legal Nurse
Consultant will save time and money, weed out
non-meritorious cases, and give vital information in
terms your client can understand.

3. Why Not A Paralegal?
-
The Legal Nurse
Consultant brings clinical experience, medical
training and terminology to the investigation of a
case.
-
A paralegal might be
able to read the chart but lacks the clinical
knowledge to know what information is missing from
the records and what actions should have been taken
in a specific clinical situation.

4. Why would an attorney need an Independent Nurse
Consultant?
-
Many times with heavy
case loads and rushed deadlines, an attorney can use
an independent consultant to do important tasks. For
instance, locating the right nurse or physician
expert witness and researching medical data. Using
an independent Legal Nurse Consultant provides
cost-effective support for heavy case loads without
hiring another employee full-time.
