Customer Reviews

This is an excellent book for beginning LNC
If you are thinking about becoming a LNC, this is an excellent book to purchase. It was the text book that I used in class. It's professional, easy to read and comprehend. It covers different types of laws, contracts, areas of practice, litigation,expert witness,etc.

This book is the bible of legal nurse consulting
This book seems to be very well written and very well researched. I can say that for a beginning nurse consultant, that it answers many questions that you might have. I highly recommend it. Put it in your reference library.

Excellent Resource
I think the book really pinpointed all the pertinent information that a new nurse consultant needs in order to begin. Although the text does cover how to begin your business; I do suggest that you buy a recommended book on how to market yourself in order to be successful in practice.
