Legal Nurse Consulting News: NEW POLICIES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

RN Market has been making big changes recently. In 2010, we introduced our new finance program! This system has improved RN Market's ability to become one of the most affordable ways to become an Advanced Legal Nurse Consultant (ALNC), as well as upgrade to the Elite and/or Expert Curriculum. Over the past several months, we have noticed that our nurses are busier than ever. This has lead to a high amount of re-certifications and association renewals to be put on the back burner. We have improved our ALNC & IAALNI notifications by providing 90/60/30 day courtesy expiration emails.

Starting on May 20, 2011, our new policy for ALNC expirations are as follows: we are offering a 90-day grace period to bring your certification current, with a $250 charge. After 90-days, you wi...

The Control and Responsibilities of a Legal Nurse Investigator

Legal Nurse Investigators all over the world have moved into positions in order to conduct unbiased and fact-finding investigations occurring on or about Hospital and Health Care Properties. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU), at most major Hospitals, provide services to victims of domestic or workplace violence which may include: court escorts for restraining orders and other appearances, work and home security surveys, threat assessments, and personal safety planning.

There are constant violations against nursing homes regarding abuse and negligence. For example, according to a June 3, 2009 story in West Palm Beach, FL, a resident was treated for a broken leg with a cast. The wound should have been treated every three days according to the state inspection report. However, the Nurse I...
