A Certified Legal Nurse Consultant® is a registered nurse who uses existing expertise as a healthcare professional plus specialized CLNC® training to consult on medical-related cases at fees of $125-$150/hour. Nowhere else can an attorney find this level of cost-effective expertise for reviewing medical records and understanding the terminology and subtleties of the healthcare system. A CLNC® consultant bridges that gap in the attorney's knowledge. While the attorney is the expert on legal issues, the Certified Legal Nurse Consultant is the expert on nursing, the healthcare system and its inner workings.
With 1,180,386* attorneys in the U.S., opportunities for CLNC® consultants are unlimited.
Starting your new life as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant is simple.
- No BSN required. You only need an active RN license.
- No legal nurse consulting experience required. You only need CLNC® training by Vickie Milazzo Institute.
CLNC® consultants of all ages practice throughout the U.S., in rural or urban areas. There's no limit to succeeding as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant personally and professionally. Graduates of our #1 bestselling program have consulted on cases ranging from simple neck injuries caused by auto accidents to medical malpractice cases to high profile cases and groundbreaking litigation such as FenPhen.
Most Certified Legal Nurse Consultants work independently from home for attorneys. Other independent CLNC® consultants provide CLNC® services to insurance companies, government agencies and private corporations. The legal nurse consulting profession allows nurses many options for establishing a satisfying and profitable part-time or full-time career. The opportunities are unlimited.
CLNC® services you provide include assisting with discovery; conducting research; reviewing medical records; identifying standards of care; preparing reports and summaries and locating expert witnesses. Although most CLNC® consultants work behind the scenes, they may also serve as expert witnesses. You act as a specialized member of the litigation team whose professional contributions are often critical to achieving a fair and just outcome for all parties.
