Combining medical and legal work can be challenging for both legal and healthcare professionals. Which is why it's better if we work together on these types of cases :) Congrats and best wishes on entering the legal nursing field! Thanks for your thoughts Sonia!

I would hope that most attorneys working on medical legal cases would be aware that. All of us in a healthcare profession are aware of that fact. litigation is about people. I have worked as a registered nurse for the past 25 years, during that time I have come to appreciate just how complex we as people really are, bringing our beliefs, prejudices and emotions into our everyday lives. When reviewing and medical legal case it is important to keep in mind that for every cause of action there are component parts that we call elements. I always ask myself what are the approximate causes surrounding the case, and are there any mitigating circumstances involved. No cases there ever black-and-white, always look for any grey areas. Standards of care are guidelines for us who choose to work in the healthcare profession. Standards of care change over time. As a registered nurse entering into this subspecialty of nursing, legal nurse consulting, I hope to lend a voice to some of those changes.
