How long is the course?

 

That depends on you. The course is divided into five modules that

you complete at your own pace. Some students complete the entire

course in as few as two months, others take considerably longer.

You make take up to ten months to complete the course for no

additional fees.

 

Is tuition assistance available?

 

Many companies recognize the need for their employees to

enhance their skill base and advance their education. For more

information contact your human resources specialist.

 

What happens to my balance if I complete the course in less than ten

months?

 

When you register for the final examination you will be assessed

the balance on your account. The balance must be satisfied before

the final examination opens up for you.

 

Is my charge account secure on your website?

 

Yes. We use “PayPal” to process payments. PayPal is a

professional and trusted name in online payments. PayPal is also

set up to take debit card and checks online. Just use the

“Feedback” link to let us know if you would prefer to use regular

mail or telephone to pay your tuition.

 

When do I receive my certificate?

 

After completion of the final module you will be eligible to take the

final examination. You may use your textbook and notes to

complete this exam. Once the exam is completed and passed you

will receive your certificate via certified mail. You have the option

of having us professionally frame and mount your certificate for

an additional fee. You will also receive information for

membership in AALNC (American Association of Legal Nurse

Consultants) and certification procedures. WE HIGHLY

Are there any onsite travel requirements?

 

No. Your kitchen table or living room sofa is your classroom. Our

course is designed to be completed entirely at home.

 

Do I need computer access?

 

Yes. We have integrated many websites into our curriculum. To be

a successful LNC it is necessary to learn how to navigate the web.

You will learn to do that in this course.

 

What is Integrity First Educators’ commitment to me?

 

Throughout your education with I.F.E. and after completion of the

course, your Career Development Advisor will provide you with

guidance and tools to help manage your career. These tools

include:

· Employment opportunities

· Assistance on starting your own legal nurse consulting

firm

· Accounting and tax considerations

· Resume writing that attracts the attention of law

firms, government agencies, insurance companies,

risk management firms, and health care

organizations

· Website design and maintenance

 

After completion of Integrity First Educators’ Legal Nurse Consulting

Course what type of cases will I be qualified to consult?

 

Many LNCs practice in areas of civil and criminal litigation in

which injuries and/or medical treatment are factors. Some LNCs

specialize in toxic tort litigation or risk management. Many LNCs

are independent practitioners and own their own businesses

offering services to attorneys, insurance companies, government

agencies, hospitals and long-term care facilities.

 

Can I work as a part-time LNC?

 

Many LNCs begin an independent practice on a part-time basis

while continuing a full or part-time job. As the business grows,

they may reduce their clinical hours.

 

How much can I make as an LNC?

 

Although many factors enter into the fees charged by LNCs our

studies show that LNCs generally charge upwards of $100 per

hour. For example, the LNC may bill between $100 and $120 per

hour for medical record reviewers while taking depositions and

pre-trial work would be considerably more. Generally, as LNCs

gain experience the fees charged rise significantly.

 

Who oversees and critiques Integrity First Educator’s Legal Nurse

Consulting Course?

 

Although presently there is no requirement for formal oversight,

Integrity First Educators’ Legal Nurse Consulting Course is

overseen by nurses experienced in legal nurse consulting and a

civil trial attorney with years of experience practicing before the

courts in the District of Columbia. Integrity First Educators

adheres to the principles and guidelines established by the AALNC

(American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants.) For more
