The Rochester Legal Nurses Network (RLNN) was established in 1994 as a local forum for Legal Nurse Consultants (LNCs) in the Rochester, New York area.  Our goals have been to get to know other LNCs in the community, share knowledge and experiences, and foster professional development.  In January of 1995, our network became a chartered chapter of the American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants (AALNC).  We currently have members representing a variety of consulting settings including independent consultants, defense law firms, plaintiff law firms, health care risk management, claims investigation, insurance industry, clinical specialists, nurse experts, and individuals just starting out in legal nurse consulting.
