Memphis, TN—The National Center for Legal Nurse Consulting is offering a two-day legal nurse certification course in the Atlanta area Sept. 13 and 14 and in the St. Louis area on Oct. 25 and 26. Nurses interested in expanding their career options with part-time work as expert witnesses or development of a full-time practice will learn skills for these careers.
Elizabeth G. Rudolph, one of our own NursingLink.com career experts, is an attorney, nurse and legal nurse consultant who founded the company in 2006 to empower nurses and teach them to become expert witnesses. The two-day certification course, Be a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant, teaches nurses how to partner with attorneys to review medical records in medical-legal cases as well as how to market their skills to the legal community.
The live course will be held in the Atlanta area at the Marriott Atlanta-Northwest, 200 Interstate North Parkway, from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Sept. 13-14, 2008 and in the St. Louis area at the Holiday Inn Select Downtown, 811 N. 9th St. on Oct. 25 – 26, 2008. Nurses will receive their Professional Legal Nurse Consultant (PLNC) certification from the National Center for Legal Nurse Consulting at the seminar, offering nurses greater career opportunities for just attending.
“Legal nurse consultants provide an invaluable service to the legal community,” Rudolph said. “This live course is designed to give nurses more choices and the tools they need to exercise those choices.”
Rudolph is a licensed attorney and registered nurse, with a Master’s Degree in Nursing and a Juris Doctorate from Vanderbilt University. She speaks nationally on legal issues in nursing and legal nurse consulting.
The course is offered in four formats: Live Course, E-Course, Audio Course and Video Course. Each course can be completed in two days and covers the basics of starting a legal nurse consulting business plus a general primer on the law.
