Confusion around legal nursing is everywhere.
There are expert witnesses, forensic nurses, investigators, insurance reviewers — and no one gives you a clear map of what “counts” or where to start.
Meanwhile, there are programs that promise to launch your career but often leave nurses still wondering, “Now what?”
And while you’re trying to sort it out, your nursing job demands all your time and energy — leaving little room to figure out your next move.
That’s why so many nurses stay stuck, waiting years to take the first step into legal nursing… or worse, enrolling in courses that look good on paper but don’t actually prepare them.
If You’ve Been Curious About Legal Nursing, You’ve Probably Felt Some Of This…
Maybe you’ve wondered what “legal nursing” really means. Is it a certification? A certificate? Another degree? Without clear answers, it’s hard to know where to even begin.
Maybe you’ve seen nurses go through intensive programs and still feel like they don’t know what to actually do with it.
Or maybe you’ve thought about the business side — contracts, marketing, setup — and felt like it’s just one more overwhelming thing on top of your nursing workload.

Maggie’s Story
Why I Created This Course
I’ve seen too many nurses pay thousands for legal nurse programs that overpromise and underdeliver.
As a former BON investigator and civil legal nurse expert, I’ve watched graduates walk out of $5K programs still unsure of what to do next — confused, frustrated, and discouraged.
That’s why I built Intro to Legal Nursing. It’s the bridge I wish I had when I started — lean, practical, and cost-conscious.
Instead of fluff, it’s filled with real-world strategies, templates, and clarity so you can take your first step into legal nursing with confidence.
