California Nursing Law Center

The Nursing Law Center is currently offering two courses:
Legal Aspects of Nursing and Legal Nurse Consulting (LNC). Whether you are a practicing nurse who wants to know more about the legal aspects of practice in California, or you want to become a Legal Nurse Consultant, you need to understand the current laws governing the practice of nursing.
Both courses are taught by Laurie R. Elston B.S.N. J.D., a Nurse Attorney
with over 20 years of legal experience. She has represented health care providers in medical malpractice lawsuits and disciplinary proceedings for over two decades, and is an experienced litigation attorney. She has also served as a Municipal Court Judge Pro Tem. She is an experienced lecturer, and taught in the paralegal program at the University of Washington. She frequently speaks to health care provider groups on a variety of legal topics.
The LNC course is based on the new 2010 LNC textbook by the American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants (AALNC). It is the largest non-profit LNC organization in the country, and the only LNC program approved by the American Board of Nursing Specialties. Attorney Elston provides hands on training in small groups using cases she litigated to teach you the legal process and case evaluation.
Experienced litigation attorneys charge $200-$400 an hour. The course on Legal Aspects of Nursing gives you the benefit of an entire day of expert legal information for less then $200. Here is what one nurse said about the course: "These 8 fun filled hours were extremely informative, practical, and all wrapped up in a beneficial and concise package. Nurses should invest their time and effort in this class to empower themselves to deliver safer care and to further our careers." Ray S., BSN CCM California
