 Getting started as a legal nurse consultant can be overwhelming even with years of clinical nursing experience, proper training as a legal nurse consultant (LNC), and the enthusiasm to begin a new business. Everyone asks, "I took a course, but can you show me how? Can I just come to your office for a day and observe you?" As nurses, we have always learned by example through orientation or preceptors.
