Info night for legal nurse consulting
On Jan. 11, NHTI will offer an information night for those who would like to learn more about the Legal Nurse Consulting program, from 6 to 7 p.m. in Farnum Hall Room 107.
In 2011, NHTI became the first school in New Hampshire to offer an on-site certificate program in the new and growing field of Legal Nurse Consulting. LNCs are professional nurses with both clinical expertise and training in the law.
LNCs can serve in a variety of settings including hospitals and other health care facilities, insurance companies, law firms, medical malpractice and workers’ compensation organizations, and private LNC practices.
NHTI offers an ABA-approved certificate program for experienced RNs who are interested in becoming legal nurse consultants. Classes are held evenings and weekends, and the program can be completed in one calendar year. The next certificate program begins in March.
The LNC program also offers continuing education opportunities for nurses. RNs and LPNs can earn 15 to 30 contact hours in a single weekend class. All classes also earn academic credit, and count toward the LNC certificate if the student should decide to pursue that credential.
To register for the information night or for more info, contact department head Stacey Peters at 271-6484, ext. 4274 or speters@ccsnh.edu.

Sign up for adult tutor training
Would you like to challenge yourself in the new year? How about getting a great reward? Sometimes you can have them both.
Why not consider becoming a volunteer tutor with the Merrimack County Adult Learner Services Program at Second Start? You can give back to your community, meet new people and learn new skills. No prior teaching experience is required, but patience and flexibility are a must. Training, materials and on-going support are provided to all volunteers. You can make a difference in someone’s life by giving two to four hours a week of volunteer tutoring.
A series of three training workshops for new volunteers are behind held Jan. 10, 17 and 24. Call Susan at 228-1341, ext. 4210 for more information.
