Legal Nurse Consulting Course Reviews

“I HIGHLY recommend this LNC course - it offered an immediate 25 CEUs with 35 more upon completion of the assignments, and the assignments are practical ones helping one get started as an LNC. AND Laurie Elston maintains your interest while you obtain all of this helpful information. (It was worth my trip from Tennessee to San Francisco). FYI, the classes are kept small, intentionally, so she can address any questions that arise and you get to know a little about the other people you're therewith.” 

Ann P. BSN, MS, LNC

“Presenters were both top notch - as well as captivating and relevant. The LNC manual and resources handed out at the class are great!” 

Debbie Winn RN 2015

“This course was very interactive. I learned so much information. I recommend this class to any nurse interested in pursuing this different and challenging career.”

Karen L. RN CA

"Update: .... I am now working with an attorney on an interesting emergency department case and have found the information and resources from your course most beneficial. I thoroughly enjoyed your class and working on the cases you gave us. Thank you for everything!"

Karen L. RN, California 2013

"Good teaching, informative, dynamic, comprehensive. The combination of a Nurse Attorney and a LNC teaching was a real strength. I also liked all the ideas for starting my own business."

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

"I learned so much from this course.... The topics related to the principles and practice of legal nurse consulting (LNC) were well discussed. Attorney Elston being a nurse attorney was able to integrate nursing concepts and legal concepts...."

Jennifer Ty D. RN, MSN, FNP

"One of the strengths of this course was having both an attorney and a LNC teaching together. We were given several career options for LNCs, which was also very helpful."

Christie D. RN CA

"I've been a nurse consultant and expert on wound care and infection control for over 10 years. During that time I have developed my own formats, timelines, etc. over the years. I sure wish I'd known about you and this course... it would have made my life a lot easier! Though I already have a source for case referrals, I wanted to improve my skills with this course, and I did. Thanks!
Update: 2013 Treasurer of the Bay Area Chapter of AALNC."

Mary W., RN, California

"Laurie is an excellent teacher: knowledgeable, direct, concise, and easy to follow. The small class size made for easy access to instructors during and after the course. It also made for good role playing during the class. I really liked the class interactions, and the combination of lecture, examples, and discussion. I also liked the course split into 3 days of live lecture and then a home study portion, which made this course very flexible."

Stacey R. RN CA

"The varied and numerous course handouts and forms/templates will be invaluable for references in the future. It is very obvious both of you put in many hours of preparation to assist all of us...
Update: Currently working full time as an LNC with a Hospice Attorney."

Maggie E. RN

"I am already involved in legal work and needed a better understanding. I liked the way this course brought all the information together in a clear and concise manner.
Update: 2013 President of Bay Area Chapter of AALNC"

Jill Aggersbury, RN, CCM, CNLCP, MSCC

"It was beneficial to have both view points - from the Nurse Attorney and the practicing LNC. It was a great setting to ask questions in and get to know the legal system by seeing actual pleadings, exhibits, etc. I highly recommend this course!"

Danielle L. RN

"The pragmatic, clean approach to presenting very complicated information and processes made learning about legal nurse consulting accessible and very palatable.
Update: Now practicing full-time with Elder Abuse/Negligence Attorney."

Patricia Sebald, RN, Operating Room

"This is a very informative seminar. I walked away feeling more knowledgeable about nursing and the law, and will be able to apply this knowledge to my practice. Thank you! This seminar is very good. You covered every aspect I can think of regarding the nursing profession and the law. I wouldn’t change a thing!"

Denise Johnson, RN-BC, MSN, Charge Nurse Medical Surgical

"This seminar gave a lot of information to enable the nurse to improve and to practice safely. I think we have (as a profession) been encouraged to be “out on a limb” unable to get job done. This information is essential to protect the nurse."

Linda F., RN, CA

"Clear and concise. Provided insight on how we can protect our licenses during our practice and with proper documentation…."
