“LNC Launchpad – Q&A with Greater Orlando Chapter LNCs”
Legal Nurse Consulting is an exciting, challenging and rewarding field of nursing. Unlike clinical nursing, getting started in the field of legal nurse consulting requires a set of skills not generally taught in nursing school. In 1989 a group of nurses working in this field, created AALNC, an organization dedicated to the professional enhancement and growth of RNs practicing in the specialty of legal nurse consulting. From that national organization sprang local Chapters around the Country. The Greater Orlando Chapter was the 2nd of those Chapters, and since 1989 has been dedicated to providing education, networking, job promotion and MENTORING to nurses interested in the field. With that dedication in mind, in 2021 we have developed an LNC support program for new LNCs and those wishing to broaden their scope of practice. We call the program “LNC Launchpad – Q&A with Greater Orlando Chapter LNCs.” The goal of this program is to assist you in launching your LNC practice or a new LNC path!
Sessions are limited to 10 participants and are open to members. Non-members may be admitted on a space available basis. We limit attendance to 10 participants so that we can focus the session on attendees questions and goals.
Registration will be open for only one session at a time. We have completed our 2024 series and will begin our 2025 series on February 11, 2025. The 2025 dates are listed below, and registration for the February session will open around the end of January 2025.
