Seven months ago I heard about the career of a legal nurse consultant. Intrigued by being able to work for myself and still do what I love, I dove into reading and classes to learn all I could.

I am now a legal nurse consultant and I’m starting my own business. I’ll keep my “real” nursing job to keep up with the knowledge.

About the job. A legal nurse consultant works with lawyers in personal injury, medical malpractice, defective products and anything that has any kind of medical aspect. The nurse reviews the charts because we can make sense of what is a foreign language to non-medical people.

The best analogy I can come up with is the fact that I know a little bit of Spanish. A little bit. If you handed me a Spanish book, I could make sense of things here and there. A lawyer looking at a medical chart, I imagine, is similar to me trying to read a book in Spanish. We’ll get the overall story, but will miss the important details.

The next time YOU have a legal case with anything medical, make sure your lawyer has a nurse working with them!
