LEGAL NURSE NEWS: FORENSICS- The Present, Past, and Future

FORENSICS- is the application of a broad spectrum of sciences used to answer questions of interest to a legal system in relation to a crime or a civil action. Many Legal Nurses have expanded their practice by adding forensic training to their repertoire. Forensic science is used to investigate criminal cases involving a victim, such as assault , robbery, kidnapping, rape, murder and civil cases such as forgeries, fraud, or negligence. Due to advancement in technology in the past decade, many cold cases have been brought back to life. For instance, in 2001, the combination of two different types of DNA tests, the short tandem repeats test (STR) with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), allowed investigators to re-exam evidence which enabled them to amplify and compare samples. These tests proved indispensable, allowing scientists to sequence and copy very short fragments of DNA taken from crimes scenes. Together, these tests closed a 20-year-old cold case, The Green River Killer. Gary Ri...

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. The growing need for facilities to keep a Nurse Investigator/Claims Analyst on staff is on the rise, especially in nursing homes. Some feel the nursing home inspection process is full of corruption. 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...

Patty Klein, We Will Never Forget You

Oftentimes, good news comes packaged with bad news. Unfortunately, this again is the case with Ryan and Veronica's wedding. The morning after their wedding, Veronica was awoken by a phone call bearing bad news. Patty Klein passed away in a car accident on December 30th at 9am. Patty was a close friend to many at RN MARKET, an expert in some of Veronica's cases, one of Veronica's wine girls in her wine blogs and one of RN MARKET's best legal nurse consulting clients. Many of you have met her at various RN MARKET events. Most recently, she attended the Indulge conference in Tampa. Patty was driving on an interstate off-ramp when her vehicle veered onto the grass. She overcompensated causing the vehicle to spin and overturn. While the vehicle was flipping, it hit an oak tree. She died instantaneously. Patty was 39-years-old. If you tried contacting RN MARKET yesterday and nobody answered, it was because the entire staff attended her visitation. We apologize for any inconve...

How Legal Nurses Exhibit at Attorney Conferences

Below are some key things for Legal Nurses to remember when exhibiting at any conference. 1.It is ideal to have a large professional display banner with your company name and logo on top or in front of your table that is easily recognizable to the room. 2.A PowerPoint presentation set-up at your table is a very modern and professional way to show your product or services to a busy room. 3.Ask where your table will be in the room so you can request a better spot if possible and how many people are expected to be exhibiting and attending. 4.Ask what exactly is provided at the conference to know what you will have to bring with you (tablecloth, extension cords, chair, etc...). 5.If possible purchase promotional items to advertise your business. Pens, small water bottles, nail files, highlighters, pocket calendars, reusable shopping bags, are all reusable items that will have your client looking at your items more than once after they leave the conference. 6.Have a drawing for a Visa gift...
