Working from overseas as a legal nurse consultant?

Nurses Career Support

Published

Hello.

I want to be a nurse who can work completely online (on the Internet), or from books at home, so that I can eventually live in a distant country, and do my legal nurse work via USA, while actually living in a remote location.

.

Although I'm presently working in Michigan, I hope to be able to base myself to be able to work via other states, possibly California and Florida and Texas, which appear to have greater needs for legal nurse consultants. Is California the highest paying state?

.

I'm guessing that doing abstracts of medical literature is the most adaptable form of legal nurse consulting. Do you think this is a valid assumption?

.

Of the many branches of legal nurse consulting, e.g. medical malpractice, personal injury, or any other, which do think are most suitable for the purpose of being able to the whole job from a remote location, without having to be there in person?

.

With respect to whatever subfield or category you suggest, which books, journals for courses would be most suitable and more specific for reaching this goal?

.

Who else could I or should I also contact for more information about this goal?

.

Are you aware of any good journal articles or other articles about this hope of working completely remotely?

.

Would you recommend I contact any particular companies and government departments first?

.

Am I my barking up the wrong tree altogether? If so, which tree would you recommend barking up? In other words, what field of work can be done complete the remotely?

.

To let you know more about me, I'm an RN with a two-year diploma. I also have a four-year bachelor's degree in anthropology. I understand, speak, read and write Spanish as a second language. For the last several years I've worked in private duty nursing. I've a number of years of psych experience. A number of years ago, I did work in a nursing home and also in a hospital. I am presently during a review study of nursing, at home, on my own -- presently focusing on obstetrics.

The books that I have, and that I am reading, that pertain to legal nurse consulting include: Introduction to Legal Nurse Consulting, by Cynthia L. Weishapple,

Identifying Medical Malpractice, by Jack Schroeder, attorney,

Let the Record Show, by J. Kelly Avery, MD,

and a journal.
