You only get one chance to make a good first impression. Make it your best!

As a Legal Nurse Consultant creating a positive first impression is crucial. You have just one opportunity to impress your attorney client, so it's essential you put your best foot forward. To achieve this, you must possess the necessary skills, deliver a compelling introduction, and produce written materials that meet their expectations on the first attempt. Otherwise, you might not get a second chance.

Eileen T. RN CA

"This legal nurse consulting course was perfect. I learned so much. You really gave me a picture of what a LNC does, and it makes sense. Mitzi's instructions on what to do and how to do it was so important.... Laurie is amazing and I found myself wonderfully surprised to learn as much as I did....it was a real eye opener. Thank you.

Update: Susie wrote: "While I was on vacation I was reading the LNC notebook from the course and practicing the introduction we learned in the class, when an attorney overheard me and asked me to screen a case he is working on (laser burns from hair removal). Networking works, and sometimes when you least expect it!"

Susie S. RN

LNC Course Reviews

Proven Program Success - Our LNC students are working with law firms, as case managers, life care planners and other types of consultants. Nurses who have taken this program say:

  • "This course was fantastic!   The instructors were well informed, experienced, witty and fun. Laurie  Elston is a gifted, brilliant, organized and personable attorney; a real  joy to learn from.  She and LNCC Mitzi were such a dynamic duo. Their  presentations were very effective, and the time they took to field  questions during the course was really helpful.” Ann Paulson RN, LNC

 

  • "Laurie  your course is by far one of the most professionally awesome  experiences I have ever had! You are a bright light and ray of hope to me and the future RNs of the world.  You were perfect in every aspect of  what you taught and how you taught it. I love, love, LOVE your rich  background on both professional areas. Real life examples from the professional viewpoints of a Nurse Attorney and a LNCC was the best of both worlds!"  Kari B. RN, CCM
