CONCORD — In 2011, NHTI, Concord’s Community College, became the first school in New Hampshire to offer an on-site certificate program in the new and growing field of Legal Nurse Consulting. LNCs are professional nurses with both clinical expertise and training in the law. They provide an invaluable service to both the medical and legal professions by evaluating, analyzing and offering informed opinions on the delivery of healthcare and resulting outcomes. LNCs can serve in a variety of settings including hospitals and other health care facilities, insurance companies, law firms, medical malpractice and workers' compensation organizations, and private LNC practices.
NHTI offers an ABA-approved certificate program for experienced RNs who are interested in becoming Legal Nurse Consultants. Classes are held evenings and weekends, and the program can be completed in one calendar year. The next certificate program begins on August 29, 2016
The LNC program also offers continuing education opportunities for nurses. RNs and LPNs can earn 15 to 30 contact hours in a single weekend class. All classes also earn academic credit, and count toward the LNC certificate if the student should decide to pursue that credential. Weekend classes offered include:
- Legal Nurse Consulting (learn more about the LNC profession)
- Risk Management
- Administrative Law
- Legal and Healthcare Ethics
- Healthcare Law
