CLNC® Course Paves Way for Success as In-house Legal Nurse Consultant
by Michelle L. Tucker, RN, MSN, CLNC
For 15 years, I was a pediatric critical care clinical specialist for a large
Florida county hospital. I also worked as a pediatric critical care expert
witness and wanted the additional training Vickie's legal nurse consultant program offered.
After I served as an expert witness on one case, the attorney recruited me
for an in-house position with his large medical
malpractice defense firm.
The day I left the hospital was the day I ordered the CLNC® Basic Home-Study Certification Program. My goal was to get through the program before I started my new
position. I finished the course, took my test and passed the certification exam
in record time (four weeks exactly).
More important than passing the CLNC® Certification Exam was the knowledge I gained
from the program. I took on my new job with confidence. I have been at the law
firm for over a year now, and I'm certain I couldn't have made it
without Vickie's informative, straightforward program.
My job at the law firm entails many duties, including:
 |
|
|
| |
 |
Organizing and summarizing all medical records that come into the office |
| |
|
Identifying relevant medical issues and new angles in the cases |
| |
|
Determining the types of expert witnesses needed |
| |
|
Locating and speaking with expert witnesses |
| |
|
Writing medical chronologies |
| |
|
Writing deposition summaries |
| |
|
Performing medical research |
| |
|
Identifying healthcare providers and witnesses in the discovery process |
I keep all my books from the CLNC® Certification Program at my office. On many occasions I've been stumped by a question at work, but my Home-Study books always give me the answers.
My boss treats me like gold, and I've never been happier in my career!
Vickie's CLNC® Certification Program is worth every penny. It gave
me the tools to make it as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. I recommend
Vickie's course to any nurse who is interested in the field of legal nurse
consulting.
