Common Legal Nurse Misconceptions

The unfortunate truth of Legal Nurse Consulting is that most Nurses who complete a course or certification never get their first case. It is not a problem of demand or market saturation. It is because most Legal Nurse courses and certifications fail to provide Nurses with the proper training and support they need to make the transition. If the Legal Nurse curriculum is outdated, then they most likely won’t find success in this industry. Unfortunately, this is a problem among many courses, including those that stand behind an accreditation or have been around for a very long time. 

1. Accreditations are Irrelevant for Legal Nurse Consulting
You will not become successful as a Legal nurse because the course you took was accredited. Accreditations are totally unrelated to the quality of standards and training included in the Legal Nurse course. An accreditation simply sets some general standards for training and testing. They are unrelated to the Legal Nurse Consulting methods taught in the course and the curriculum. Courses and associations with that flaunt accreditations often offer outdated curriculums that are not effective when they are applied. Finally, your medical expertise is what will impress the attorneys, and that is why they would hire you.

2. You Do No Need 2000 Hours of Legal Nurse Experience
Some certifications expect beginner Legal Nurses build up 2000 hours before they can earn their certification. This is merely a requirement for those nursing organizations, and to earn the certification available through that organization. Each organization has specific requirements of their own. Working 2000 hours doesn't help nurses who want to work as independently practicing consultants. It forces Legal Nurses to work jobs for little pay. The experience they gain at that job, still doesn't apply to an independent practice, and conditions them to only work in a job. It simply drags out the process. Nurses already have the expertise they need to become a Legal Nurse, they just need to learn how to put their expertise to work in the legal field.

3. The Industry is NOT Saturated
There are 1.3 million attorneys in the United States. Many of them have hundreds of cases rating at one time. So there are millions of medical related cases that need the expertise of nurses. Even though thousands of Nurses become Legal Nurse Consultants, most of them never get a case. This is because the course the chose included inadequate training. When someone says that the Legal Nurse market is saturated, ask them which course they took. Their lack of success is reflective of the course or conference.

The Solution
LNC STAT was created to be the solution for this common problem of inadequate Legal Nurse training. LNC STAT has the most comprehensive curriculum and the highest success rate.

Nursing home staff can now assist with booster shots, according to the White House

The White House said that facility employees can now administer shots in an effort to combat the low uptake of the most recent COVID-19 omicron booster shots in US nursing homes. This is a significant victory for many, according to one of the top caregiver activists in the country. According to Katie Smith Sloan, president and CEO of LeadingAge, the announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention "is truly a positive step, and a demonstration of the good that results when government and providers collaborate to reach a shared goal: keeping older adults, professional caregivers, and communities safe." Smith promised to keep working with and exerting pressure on the CDC, the Department of Health & Human Services, and the White House "to remove impediments," as suggested by providers in their proposal for the All-Hands-On-Deck campaign to improve booster uptake. As a tripledemic approached the nation in November, LeadingAge and the American Health ...

Nurses Deserve Better, Now They Can Get It Our healthcare system is working Nurses to death, and is not doing much to improve the situation. A recent survey by Career Builder reports that 70% of Nurses feel burned out in their current job, and 54% rank their stress level as high. While many say that burn-out comes with the territory, much of it can be avoided with some help from administrators and facilities. Their desire to cut costs adds unnecessary pressure on Nurses, making room for medical errors and decreased quality of care. Our healthcare system has now become one that wears down Nurses faster than ever, and it doesn’t look like it’s going to improve anytime soon. Isn’t it unfair that Nurses are forced take on this extra burden? Isn’t it disappointing that most Nurses choose this career to help people, but are instead forced to offer lower quality of care to their patients because they are overworked? Nurses deserve better than this. Luckily, they now have options. C...
