Attorneys pay top dollar for nurses who can analyze medical records and provide expert clinical opinions. One of the most lucrative, flexible consulting paths for RNs.
Legal nurse consultants review medical records, identify standards of care issues, educate attorneys on clinical matters, and write expert reports. They work on malpractice cases, personal injury lawsuits, workers compensation claims, and more — without ever setting foot in a courtroom unless they choose to as an expert witness.
