Legal Nurse Consulting

Published

HI, I am an OR nurse. I have a BSN and one year of experience. I am interested in nurse legal consulting. I have read that I either need more experience or more education to really enter the field, but I do know of a nurse legal consultant who started with only one year of nursing experience. When I asked her how she got started all she told me was that it's all in who you know....she wasn't very helpful. I also talked to a LNC who works in risk management under a different job title. She has her masters and was basically just as useless in providing information when I asked her about nurse legal consulting. I don't know how to actually get into it. Can someone please tell me what it is actually like working as a LNC? And because I have OR experience, I feel like that can be used as an advantage or main area of focus. How do I get started in trying to become a LNC? Thank you!
