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 Practice 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 Principles takes a pedagogic approach
in providing content for use in core courses. It defines and
elaborates on the role of the LNC in a number of arenas and
adds new and expanded information covering new technology
and new trends in healthcare and law.
Those
wishing guidance on the practice areas of LNC should check
out the companion volume, Legal
Nurse Consulting Practices. These volumes are also
available as a set.
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.
