Legal Nurse Consulting Principles and Practices, Fourth Edition, provides foundational knowledge on the specialty nursing practice of legal nurse consulting. Legal nurse consulting is defined, and essential information about the practice is discussed (history, certification, scope and standards of practice, and ethical and liability considerations). The essentials of the law and medical records are explored. Analysis of the various types of legal cases on which legal nurse consultants work is provided, as are other practice areas for legal nurse consultants. The various roles and skills of legal nurse consultants are explored, and the textbook concludes with discussion of the ways in which legal cases are adjudicated. This volume allows nurses to bridge the gap from their clinical experience to the unfamiliar territory of the legal world, with practical advice on topics including tactics for being cross-examined in the courtroom and investigative and analytical techniques for medical records. Individual chapters by subject-matter experts focus on the full range of legal, medical, and business issues that new or experienced legal nurse consultants and nurse experts will encounter in their work. A nuanced look at the realities and complexities of toxic torts, medical malpractice cases, civil rights in correctional healthcare, ERISA and HMO litigation, and other practice areas is offered. Suitable for experienced nurses studying for certification as legal nurse consultants, and for expert witnesses, practitioners seeking to expand their current legal nurse roles, and other healthcare and legal practitioners.

This book deals with a subject that has recently been the focus of debate and law reform in many jurisdictions: how much scope should spouses have to conclude agreements concerning their financial affairs - and under what circumstances should such agreements be binding and enforceable? These marital agreements include pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and separation agreements. The book is the result of a British Academy-funded research project which investigated and compared the relevant law of England and Wales, Australia, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and the jurisdictions of the United States. In addition to chapters on these jurisdictions, the book includes a chapter on the 'English practitioner's view'. It also provides a comparative analysis of the different matrimonial property regimes and the rules on marital agreements that explores underlying themes and principlesand makes recommendations for regulating marital agreements. A key theme is the function and effect of marital agreements in the different jurisdictions. Thus, each chapter first explains the underlying 'default' rules for ancillary relief/matrimonial property and maintenance. It then analyses the current rules for marital agreements, and gives a brief account of the private international law rules. The book provides a comprehensive source of reference on ancillary relief/matrimonial property and maintenance and the rules on pre-nuptial, post-nuptial and separation agreements in 14 jurisdictions. It offers guidance for academics and practitioners dealing with international matters, and a basis for discussions on law reform. 'I applaud the vision and perseverance of Jens Scherpe in having conceived this book and, with so much distinguished help, in now bringing it to birth. I will be using it for many years and I warmly invite my fellow family lawyers across the world to do likewise.' Foreword by The Rt Hon Lord Wilson of Culworth, Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Family Law online service.

Do you want to grow your legal nurse consulting business? Develop a group of raving fans who will recommend you to their attorney colleagues? How do you build a strong legal nurse consulting business that will pay your bills and give you security? One of the essential components of creating a strong business is establishing a loyal customer base. This book is directed to legal nurse consultants to help them do just that. The principles here will help you to establish and maintain successful relationships with attorneys to build a solid business. There is an abundance of opportunity for legal nurse consultants. I will show how you to tap into it. Running a business is a challenge for most legal nurse consultants. Self-doubt and lack of confidence holds LNCs back from taking the risks associated with starting a business. The new business owner wonders: what if I fail? Conquering your mindset is a necessary step in getting a business started. Developing a polished professional appearance is also essential. Understanding the fears of attorneys will help you determine the needs of the ideal client. Discover how motivation affects your ability to reach ideal clients. Some legal nurse consultants may have to contact many potential customers to land a case. In this book you'll learn about cold calls, warm calls and hot leads. Use your networks to get referrals to attorneys, using a structured script that works. I will teach you exactly where to find attorneys and how to ask for referrals to your ideal client. But the book goes beyond outbound marketing -reaching out to attorneys- and also focuses on inbound marketing - attracting attorneys so they find you. It is natural for an attorney to check out your website before speaking to you about your services. What will the attorney find? Do you have a site? Is it professional in appearance and well optimized for search engine optimization? Are you blogging about topics of interest to an attorney? Are you building a list of prospects by offering them an enticing special report on your website? I will show you how you can develop these tools to build a list of attorneys to stay connected with. In this book I share specific strategies to overcome the overwhelmed feeling and how to learn when to say yes or no to opportunities or specific client requests. You'll recognize three roles people play to manipulate people, particularly inexperienced legal nurse consultants. And you'll discover how to remove yourself from the game. Goals strengthen any business development plan. Specific goal setting techniques will give you a sense of progress and a reason to celebrate. I will show you how to set SMART goals to which you can hold yourself accountable and track your results. Get concrete information about having a sound operating plan and mastery over your finances. This book shares tips on how to organize your finances, track income and expenses using calendars, budges, logs and accounting software. Well-established and respected legal nurse consultants may find they have more work than they can handle. Would you like to be in that situation? This book is geared to the legal nurse consultant who is searching for tips to jumpstart a consulting business. My nursing education taught me how to take care of patients but not how to run a successful business. In this book, I will share with you many lessons learned from running a successful LNC business for 25 years. The principles and tips in this book will help you gain success in your legal nurse consulting practice.
