Pat’s book on analyzing medical records is packed with information and tips beneficial to even the most seasoned LNC. I especially appreciated all the examples used! Jocelyn Landis, RN, CLNC Elite Legal Nurse Consulting

The information in this book was like Miracle Grow to my writing skills. This book covered many more details in a clearer manner than many LNC courses. I wish I would have had this as a new LNC. I highly recommend this to all nurses, whether an LNC or a staff nurse. It is vitally important bedside nurses know how the legal system works. Well worth the money. Great gift for a new LNC.
