I am exploring options legal nurse consultant?Rating: (votes: 0) Any ideas? Thanks My brother is one of the lead prosecuting attorneys for a state medical board. The legal RNs that they use all have at least 10 years of bedside experience, usually quite a bit more. You're being hired for your experience, not your degree. Comment: Absolutely agree with PP. I have actually done this twice. It seems that attorneys use MLC RNs is to either: 1) interpret medical records to 'paint a picture' of what happened or 2) convince the jury of what a 'reasonable and prudent' nurse would have done in a certain situation. So, you have to have a credible amount of experience to fulfill these roles.OTOH, there are many 'legal minded' nurses who work in Clinical Risk Management. These roles do require advanced education - mostly MSNs, but some are RN/JDs as well.Comment: What about pharmaceutical sales or pharm research?
