Specialties Legal

Hi all, it's my first time here; first post:

Well i've always been interested in nursing and law as well, and when the time came to decide i decided to go towards law. Im now a Paralegal major in south Texas.

Up until today, i had never heard of such profession as legal nurse. We had a speaker in school today who mentioned this, and i started researching nursing and ended up here.

My question is, do you have to be an RN and then study law, or can it be the other way around? I'm so interested in law but am not thinking of law school, and even studying law i cannot stop thinking about being a nurse. But if i can do both, how would i go about that?

Would i have to switch majors, apply for nursing school, get my Associate's, and then take some law courses?

I'm so excited that this career combines both of my interests. Im only 20, so i hope i can get some advice ASAP so i can get going. Any advice would be of great help.

Thanks so much, and i hope none of you get angry that im joining, you know, not being a nurse and all...

Specializes in RN, BSN, CHDN.

I can understand both sides of the argument but can we keep the discussion civil as it a good debate and contains relevent information. No personnal insults please

Hi all. Just curious.

Is there a difference between a nurse paralegal and a legal nurse consultant besides education?
