RN considering becoming a Nurse Paralegal

Published

Hello all,

I have been an RN for 5 years and have worked exclusively in psychiatry. I am attempting to leave direct care nursing and am researching the idea of becoming a Nurse Paralegal. Is it reasonable to pursue something like this if I've only worked in behavioral health?

Might you be thinking about those Vicki Millazzo programs/jobs? Or are you thinking general paralegals?

I think they're 2 different occupations.

You're welcome.

Unless I'm mistaken, I believe that there is someone here at AN who's one of those advanced career nurses. Maybe they'll connect.

I'm also guessing but have you searched here on AN? I think there's been similar postings here in the past.

That's the best I can do for you.
