Uncovering the Facts
A key reason behind my decision to enter into Legal Nurse profession is to put my extensive knowledge and experience to work on medically-related legal cases. I was fortunate to work on many case reviews involving pharmecutical products several years ago, and that experience made me want to learn more about legal nurse consulting. Now as a CLNC, I am prepared to work diligently to uncover the facts in your case that others might miss. Since I have spent my nursing career critiquing medical records and providing care on a daily basis, I am able to quickly organize records and identify what is present, what is missing, and what may have been tampered with. I am very cognizant of the inner workings of a medical facility as well as a physician's practice, and understand the behind-the-scene activities and productivity. I am also very familiar with the nursing standards of practice, the standards of care of a facility, as well as the policy & procedures as they relate to the particular area of nursing and medical practice. Acquiring this type of unique knowledge is accomplished through actual hands-on practice and being a participant in different situations, over time.
It is interesting to note that by blending the clinical and professional experiences and skills of a Registered Nurse and the rigorous education, training, and certification process of Certified Legal Nurse Consultant, that the end result is a well-qualified professional, ready to work for you. By including a CLNC into your legal practice, you will definitely save yourself and your firm, the time and resources to do what you do best, which is to interpret and practice the law.
