I've decided I want to pursue a career in legal nurse consulting and am currently in the phase of gathering as much information about the field as I can. I am 33 years old and have been at the bedside for 11 years, in adult surgical trauma CC and emergency nursing. I've had a strong interest in law for years, and have recently begun to consider how I may incorporate my nursing knowledge into it. I briefly considered pursuing law as a secondary degree through a law program, however, my latest research has led me to exploring the avenue of legal nurse consulting.
Does anybody with experience in this field have advice they'd be willing to share? I'd like to sit for the LNCC exam, but am wondering how to gather 2,000 hours of consulting experience, required to take the exam. What are the best ways to gather legal knowledge as a current ED RN, to prepare myself for the exam, and fulfill this time requirement?
