Legal Nurse Consultant

Overview

The Duke Legal Nurse Consultant program was created in collaboration with the Eastern North Carolina Chapter of Legal Nurse Consultants. Both organizations recognized not only the demand for qualified LNC professionals, but the need for a quality training program that would effectively address this need.

Offered in a traditional classroom format on the Duke University campus, the Duke LNC Program is comprised of 45 hours of instruction. The program is divided up into six modules, which are designed to be taken sequentially. All of the instructors are licensed RN’s and have worked in an LNC capacity for either a law firm, or as an independent entity.

The North Carolina Nurses Association has approved this program for 45 Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credits and, if applicable, credit toward renewal of the LNCC credential.

What are the objectives of the Duke Program?

The objective of the Legal Nurse Consulting Certificate is to prepare the registered nurse (RN) to perform analysis of health care issues and their related outcomes for the legal profession or other health care organizations in a variety of settings. Building on the nurse’s education and clinical experience, the program will provide the practical skills and legal knowledge necessary to function in the legal arena. Additionally, instructors will ensure that nurses who take the program understand the role of the LNC in the greater community and what is involved in working as a consultant.

Who should attend?

• Registered Nurses with an active license interested in broadening their scope of practice.
• Registered Nurses with an active license interested in becoming Legal Nurse Consultant Certified (LNCC).*
• Registered Nurses with an active license seeking CNE hours.
