This event will provide a mixture of LNC clinical, LNC practice, and business education and mentoring to start or grow your beginning LNC career. The interactive virtual workshop is built to provide business and marketing tips to help attendees create a strong LNC foundation, on which to apply the nursing process to their LNC practice. LNC Jumpstart is structured with LNC faculty to provide educational content on subjects including what legal nurse consulting is and what it isn't, LNC work product overview, getting started as an LNC, and the LNC as a nursing expert witness and behind-the-scenes LNC. As part of this workshop, attendees will have an on-demand learning activity to attend on their own time and schedule, followed by the live, half-day virtual event. Attendees will have many opportunities to meet and interact in experiential learning with faculty, experienced LNCs, and new LNC peers.
