How do I pursue legal nurse consultant work? Something I've always wanted to do and believe I would be very good at; however, have not been able to find openings or how to get hired in this field. Any input would be appreciated.

Web search Legal Nurse Consultants. You do not need one of those degrees or courses that are advertised. You do need to be working in the area you will be consulting in. My expertise is long term care. I did legal nurse consulting about 5 years.

I was a legal nurse consultant in three defense firms full time for 6 years. I had a background in critical care and had demonstrated clinical excellence prior to applying. When I interviewed, the partners who interviewed me said they were looking for someone with critical care. I clarified it did not have a paralegal degree. They said "That's okay, we have people here who know the law", and laughed. Just apply apply apply. Use contacts you may know in the legal field and put your interest out there. Bear in mind they pay less than hospitals.
