Hey everyone,

ive been a nurse for about 6 yrs now and was thinking of doing legal nursing on the side. Does anyone have any experience doing this or know of a good way to get certified and start? Any feedback would be great!

One of our administrators, sirI, can give you good information as she has been a legal nurse consultant. You can PM her for more information, I'm sure she'll be glad to help you.

I worked with a gal who did the VM course. She wasn't doing any legal. Couldn't get her foot in the door.

hi all... I am fairly new to this group.. i saw in AALNC website that you need to have 2000 hours of legal medical consultant job to be able to sit for the certification.. but how are you going to be employed/hired as legal consultant and get the 2000 hours if you are not certified.. just confused with the requirement of LNC.. hope someone could enlighten me on this.. thanks..

I happen to see that in CA, the RN board has a posting for "Expert Practice Consultants". I wonder if other states's boards do the same thing.
