AALNC Can Help You Get Started
Legal nurse consulting is the analysis and evaluation of facts and testimony. Legal nurse consultants provide a rendering of informed opinions related to the delivery of nursing, healthcare services and outcomes, and the nature and cause of injuries. The legal nurse consultant is a licensed registered nurse who performs a critical analysis of clinically related issues in a variety of settings in the legal arena. A nurse expert has a strong educational and experiential foundation and is qualified to assess adherence to standards and guidelines of practice as applied to nursing practice.
