Successful CLNC®s Say

"Bravo to Vickie for the stand she is taking against placing CLNC®s in the category of a nurse paralegal. This is a call for nurses to band together. We must be seen as educated professionals who demand and receive adequate compensation for an invaluable service to the legal community. If we do not, we will trade the physician's thumb for the attorney's."
Sara Waltman, RN


"Some nurse paralegal training programs market... to nurses but they train students to do paralegal work, which pays less than legal nurse consulting and includes legal areas that have nothing to do with health care, such as divorce."
