Synopsis

The 1998 edition had been instrumental in establishing standards in, and defining the core curriculum of, the legal nurse consulting (LNC) field. In this update, 46 contributed chapters—of which 15 are new—comprehensively encompass relevant legal theory; the evolution, standards, certification, and practice of the profession; specific practice areas; LNC roles and responsibilities, including serving as an expert witness; mediation, settlement, and trial options and processes of dispute resolution; and business practices and ethics. Includes chapter test questions with an answer key, and a glossary of nursing, business, legal, and computer terms. Iyer is a New Jersey- based LNC. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

July 25, 2009: I can't imagine attempting to practice as a legal nurse consultant without this resource. Both the author and publisher have successfully mastered the creation of this informative textbook which will clearly lessen the challenge for those practicing in this specialized field. This is so comprehensively crafted with an abundance of information applicable to all details of medical-legal issues. I congratulate those who contributed.

January 17, 2008: This is the best book that I had read on LNC. I would recommend this title to the RN that is serious about pursuing this complex career. The table of contents is very comparable to those of commercial thousand dollar courses. It took me a couple of months to study the material, but the information is easily 'digested'. I consider it to be the standard for LNC home/ self guided education. Felt very confident and ready to start my career. Basically, ANY book written by Ms Iyer, though more costly, is worth its weight in gold.
