Job Outlook for LNC


from Washington Online Certificate Program

Job Outlook:

Excellent. The field of Legal Nurse Consulting is rapidly growing. Demand for qualified professionals has never been higher. You can earn a high income as a certified Legal Nurse Consultant from law firms or corporations that specialize in medical malpractice claims, medical ethics, personal injury law and civil and criminal litigation.

While most Legal Nurse Consultants work directly for law firms and attorneys, some Legal Nurse Consultants work in hospitals and medical centers. Many others own their own consulting firms and offer their services directly to attorneys. Qualified and educated Legal Nurse Consultants are able to command high hourly rates for their work - often as much as $100-$150/hour!

Some nurses have jobs that require little or no direct patient care, but still require an active RN license. Case managers ensure that all of the medical needs of patients with severe injuries and severe or chronic illnesses are met. Forensics nurses participate in the scientific investigation and treatment of abuse victims, violence, criminal activity, and traumatic accident. Infection control nurses identify, track, and control infectious outbreaks in health care facilities and develop programs for outbreak prevention and response to biological terrorism. Legal nurse consultants assist lawyers in medical cases by interviewing patients and witnesses, organizing medical records, determining damages and costs, locating evidence, and educating lawyers about medical issues. Nurse administrators supervise nursing staff, establish work schedules and budgets, maintain medical supply inventories, and manage resources to ensure high-quality care. Nurse educators plan, develop, implement, and evaluate educational programs and curricula for the professional development of student nurses and RNs. Nurse informaticists manage and communicate nursing data and information to improve decision making by consumers, patients, nurses, and other health care providers. RNs also may work as health care consultants, public policy advisors, pharmaceutical and medical supply researchers and salespersons, and medical writers and editors.

 

  • Registered nurses constitute the largest health care occupation, with 2.5 million jobs.
  • About 59 percent of jobs are in hospitals.
  • The three major educational paths to registered nursing are a bachelor’s degree, an associate degree, and a diploma from an approved nursing program.
  • Registered nurses are projected to generate about 587,000 new jobs over the 2006-16 period, one of the largest numbers among all occupations; overall job opportunities are expected to be excellent, but may vary by employment setting.
