"As
the legal nurse consultant’s core reference text, this
book defines the knowledge base of the specialty. This text
is the authoritative resource that every LNC or nurse interested
in this field should have on hand, to refer to time and again.”
—
American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants
Designed to meet
the needs of both novice and advanced practitioners, the first
edition of Legal Nurse Consulting: Principles and Practice
established standards and defined the core curriculum
of legal nurse consulting. It also guided the development
of the certification examination administered by the American
Legal Nurse Consultant Certification Board. The extensive
revisions and additions in Legal Nurse Consulting: Principles
and Practice, Second Edition make this best-selling reference
even more indispensable. Legal nurse consulting programs all
over the country rely on this book for educating nurses about
how to enter this field. Many nurses use this text to teach
themselves the basics.
In this year-long
project, as chief editor, Ms. Iyer recruited the 8 associate
editors and guided the revision of the text. Ms. Iyer read
and edited every draft of every one of the 46 chapters. All
chapters were updated by the original or replacement author.
Fifteen new ones were added, each of which highlights an important
aspect of legal nurse consulting practice.

also the companion book, Business
Principles for Legal Nurse Consultants, and the LNCC
Practice Test.

Testimonial:
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,

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.
