Legal Nurse Consultants

Advancement Prospects

Administrative and supervisory positions in the nursing field go to nurses who have earned at least the bachelor of science degree in nursing. Nurses with many years of experience who are graduates of the diploma program may achieve supervisory positions, but requirements for such promotions have become more difficult in recent years and in many cases require at least the bachelor of science in nursing degree.

Legal nurse consultants with considerable experience may advance to supervisory positions or move on to open their own consulting companies. Others may choose to earn a law degree and become nurse attorneys.
