One specialized area of nursing is legal nurse consulting. A Certified Legal Nurse ConsultantCM is a registered nurse who uses existing expertise as a healthcare professional plus specialized training (LegalNurse.com) as a CLNC® to consult on medical-related cases at fees of $125-$150/hour. Few attorneys know how to read medical records or understand the terminology and subtleties of healthcare issues to achieve the best results for their clients. A CLNC® consultant bridges that gap in the attorney's knowledge. While the attorney is the expert on legal issues, the Certified Legal Nurse ConsultantCM is the expert on nursing, the healthcare system and its inner workings. CLNC® consultants screen cases for merit, assist with discovery; conduct medical literature research; review medical records; identify standards of care; prepare reports and summaries on the extent of injury or illness; and locating expert witnesses. Although most CLNC®s work Behind the Scenes, they may also serve as expert witnesses. The legal nurse consultant acts as a specialized member of the litigation team whose professional contributions are often critical to achieving a fair and just outcome for all parties. There are approximatly 6,000 Certified Legal Nurse ConsultantsCM who are members of the National Alliance of Certified Legal Nurse ConsultantsCM (NACLNC.org) the largest association of legal nurse consultants in the nation.

The nursing field is a fine and noble field of work that is largely independent of issues of economy. As long as there are people, there will be a need for nursing. A better thing to consider is whether nursing is a good fit for you. Nursing is hard physical, emotional, exacting and yet heroic work.
