Member Benefits

Networking

• Network with fellow LNCs in person at our quarterly meetings.
• Participate in a Listserv – free of junk mail and advertisements – that allows open communication among members “24/7”.

Education

• Educational presentations on issues pertinent to LNCs – medical, legal, business, marketing, etc. available at Chapter meetings.
• Resources and references for the Legal Nurse Consulting profession are available for your review during educational meetings. Suppliers who carry the desired manuals are provided.
• An Annual Fall Conference, CEU approved, on pertinent medical/legal issues.
• Additional educational opportunities are available to our members through our participation in a Professional Educational Collaborative.
• The Listserv communication indirectly provides education as questions are asked and answered by Chapter members.

Peer Support & Camaraderie

• Membership provides an immediate circle of colleagues and friends who are happy to lend advice and support.
• Members can log on to a membership directory that serves as both a resource and marketing tool.

Increased Exposure to Potential Clients

• The Chapter often receives requests from attorneys and other potential clients for assistance in finding a particular expert – consulting and/or testifying. These requests are posted to the Listserv, giving all members an opportunity to respond.
• All members can participate in our newly developed "LNC Locator" that makes your nursing specialty and contact information available to prospective clients at any time.
• Involvement in Chapter work provides an abundance of opportunities to meet prospective clients as you promote the profession and the association.
• More established Chapter members may subcontract work to other LNCs when their workload is excessive, or when they’re in need of a certain nursing expertise they do not personally possess.
  
• In the process of providing expert witnesses to our clients, Chapter members look first to their own colleagues whenever possible.
