Beth Zorn is one of the pioneers in the LNC field, having worked as a legal nurse consultant for 35 years. She has extensive experience both as an in-house LNC, both for defense and plaintiff firms. Her information and advice will be invaluable for anyone considering in-house LNC work.
One primary distinction between plaintiff and defense work is that in the defense situation, cases may have been prescreened by the insurance company. In a plaintiff environment, paralegals often do the initial screening work. LNCs will evaluate cases that have some promise.
Beth takes us through the various stages of a case’s evolution, which is similar in both defense and plaintiff situations.
She emphasizes that the atmosphere of a law firm can vary greatly. In general, the size of a firm will determine the degree of mutual support and opportunity for LNCs to learn more about the legal aspects of their work. She feels strongly that in-house work gives LNCs a much greater opportunity to learn than the independent LNC gets.
One of the most valuable pieces of this podcast is Beth’s advice on how to successfully interview for an in-house position. She recommends coming with a host of questions targeted at discerning the work ethic, the company culture, and to determine how great the learning opportunities will be.
Be prepared for a priceless introduction to the world of in-house LNC work.
