Summary
Over the past generation, the practice of legal
nurse consulting has grown to include areas such as life
care planning, risk management, and administrative law,
as well as taking on a more diversified role in both criminal
and civil law and courtroom proceedings.
First
published in 1997, Legal Nurse Consulting, Principles
and Practices provided professionals in the field with
an authoritative reference that helped further define and
grow their roles. Used in LNC programs across the country,
it introduced RNs to the foundations and practice areas
of legal nurse consulting.
Maintaining
the high standards of the previous edition of this bestseller,
the current editors have fully revamped this reference to
match the education and reference needs of today’s
LNC. Adding a wealth of new information, the book has been
split into two volumes: Legal
Nurse Consulting Principles, designed for students,
and Legal Nurse Consulting Practices, a solid professional
reference that practicing LNCs will consult again and again.
Legal
Nurse Consulting Practices provides the professional
LNC with a wealth of new content covering processes and
legal considerations in a number of areas. It explores forensics
work and administrative healthcare law including insurance
regulations and fraud. It discusses keys aspects of Medicare,
approaches to creating a life care plan, the legal aspects
of advanced practice nursing, and key concepts related to
pediatrics and neonatal care. The book also describes the
competencies and necessary background needed for certification
and provides advice on how to advance within the profession.
Those
wishing guidance on the practice areas of LNC should check
out the companion volume, Legal
Nurse Consulting Principles. These volumes are
also available as a set (see offer above).
Testimonials
for the previous edition with Chief Editor Patricia Iyer:
I have enjoyed so much Legal Nurse Consulting: Principles
and Practice that Pat Iyer edited. I have found it
to be very helpful in my own practice as well as my teaching.
I teach legal nurse consultants and the students really
do like the book.
Betsy Seymour, Raleigh, NC
I want
you to know I'm a huge fan of your textbook! My LNC online
course has mostly consisted of reading Legal Nurse Consulting
Principles and Practice from cover to cover and taking multiple
choice exams on the content. The clarity of the writing,
the real-world examples, information presented logically
and thoroughly, it's a remarkable achievement. I know this
was not a solo effort. Your contributors and editors are
to be congratulated as well. Many thanks for a readable,
informative and inspiring effort.
Victoria Morse, RN, BA, BSN, San Francisco, CA
I am
completing my BSN and starting my Masters in March at IWU
(online) (Indiana Wesleyan University) and spent most of
last night using "your" text as a reference for
the business plan I am creating for my Management Project.
The instructors were forward thinking enough to allow me
to do this instead of a clinical project since I am not
technically clinical at this time. I am ever so grateful
for your contribution to this wonderful profession. Thank
you from the bottom of my heart.
