Although the course was on-line and I never met the instructor, I got a strong sense of his personality, as if I had attended a lecture course. I learned quite a bit in the course, and it has given me a real sense of where to go next with this profession. I especially appreciated the information on the "human" aspects of the work. The course was not just a list of terms and facts to memorize. I could visualize myself doing the work as it was described. Thank you.
Excellent course and instructor!
Excellent course, would highly recommend it.
Excellent course, would highly recommend it. I feel this is an excellent course for those who wish to go into the legal nurse consulting field. I think the instructor was informative and attentive.
Good course, worth the money. It saved me a lot of money, seminars [offered by other providers] are outrageously expensive and I bet they don't give much of the real legal help Neal does.
Great course! I am anxious to get started in my LNC business.
Having gone thru the CLNC seminar I felt that this class was a great help. I would advise others to take these type of classes rather than the very costly seminars provided by nurses. I feel like I am much more prepared now that I know what to expect from an attorney & the terminology learned.
I am so excited by what I've learned! I've already used some of the lessons in my everyday work to determine what course of action I should take when resolving issues. I'm looking forward to more courses in the future.
I enjoyed this class so much that I am actually thinking about going to law school!! This class was great! I took to see if I was interested in LNC and I thought I would have to enroll in a more expensive version later, but I found out this is the same information as the expensive versions! The course information is outstanding and so is the instructor. I have already recommended this course to all of my nurse friends. Thank you!
I enjoyed this course very much and the instructor did an excellent job. Nancy I truly enjoyed this course. This was my frist online course, but will not be my last. Thanks for offering online classes.
I feel this is an excellent course for those who wish to go into the legal nurse consulting field. I think the instructor was informative and attentive.
I found this course to be one of the best I have ever taken. It was so easy to follow and I found myself looking for the next lesson. I actually hated waiting from Friday until the following Wednesday. I would not only recommend this course to others, but I also will be on the look out for other courses prepared and presented by Neal Bevans.
I had just purchased an expensive home study course, when a friend told me about this one. I compared the curriculum and they were nearly the same. I opted for this online course and feel it met my needs 100%. I looked forward to the lessons and learned a lot. Neal's writing style was engaging; sometimes humorous and understandable. I will continue to pursue a career as a Legal Nurse Consultant. Thanks Neal!
I have enjoyed taking this course and feel that I have gained a great amount of knowledge. I hope to take other courses in the field of law.
I have looked at the content of other Legal Nurse Consulting courses, and always was left with my main question still unanswered..."Yes, but how do I do it!" This course answers that, clearly, logically, and in a step-by-step fashion. The instructor, who has tried over 200 cases, is a professor, and has written 8 books; gives you insights into how lawyers think, how they want to see things presented, and how to talk to them. Just as a Legal Nurse Consultant gets a lawyer up to speed about medical issues, Professor Bevans gets Legal Nurse Consultants up to speed about what they need to know to perform in and for the legal profession. Professor Bevans writes in a clear, punchy, entertaining way that keeps your interest. Professor Bevans is actually the one answering your questions in the discussion areas, which is very motivating. I have taken many "education" courses and am pleased if 1/4 of the material is useful, rarely is 1/2 useful, but in this course ALL of it was useful and I would highly recommend this course.
I learned so much by taking this course. I now have a feel of what a LNC does and what steps I can take in order to start a new career. Thanks!!!

Q: How are your courses different from other online courses?
A: Two words: customer satisfaction. A genuine ed2go course is more than just a collection of project-oriented lessons, stimulating quizzes, and hands-on assignments. Our instructors are famous for their ability to create warm and supportive communities of learners. It's no wonder that many long-lasting friendships have formed in our lively and intelligent discussion areas. Our satisfaction and completion rates are among the highest in our industry, with more than 95% of our students indicating that they'd like to take another ed2go online course. And we've served 750,000 students over the last eight years--far more than anyone else in our industry. But don't take our word for it--see for yourself. Browse our Course Catalog and read the fantastic things students have to say about our courses.
Q: How long are your courses?
A: Unless otherwise specified, all courses run for six weeks. You will be granted access to two lessons each week for six weeks. Each lesson will be accompanied by a short, multiple-choice quiz, and some lessons may also include a hands-on assignment. You are expected to try and complete each quiz and assignment within two weeks from when the lesson is released. The course will conclude with a final exam. You will have two weeks from the day the final exam is released to complete your studies and submit the final exam for evaluation.
Q: What happens if I'll be away on business/vacation during part of the class?
A: No problem! There's a two-week grace period built right into each of our quizzes and final exams. As long as you can live with that two week time frame, you can read each lesson at your leisure, and complete each assignment when it is convenient for you. That's the beauty of taking an online course--they're designed to fit your schedule--not your instructor's!
If you start to fall behind, we can grant you a ten day extension at the end of the course. You are not required to attach a reason to your extension request, but we can grant no more than one extension per course. You will be given instructions on how to request an extension when your course begins.
Q: How will I receive my lessons, quizzes and assignments?
A: Each course comes complete with an online classroom. You will be able to use your web browser to access the online classroom and obtain your course material and communicate with your instructor.
Q: What happens if I have a question?
A: Each of your lessons is accompanied by an interactive discussion area. When you need help with a lesson, all you have to do is post your question or inquiry in the appropriate course discussion area, where the instructor , his or her teaching assistant, or one of your fellow students will respond.
Q: May I respond to other students' discussion area questions?
A: We are firmly convinced that the best way to learn a new skill is to teach it to others. If you know the answer to a discussion area question, you are strongly encouraged to offer your assistance.
Q: When we miss a question on the quiz, you tell us why we missed it, but you don't tell us the right answer. Why not?
A: Our quizzes use a diminishing multiple choice format. When you miss a question, you will receive an explanation as to why your answer was incorrect. You are then expected to do the research needed to find the correct answer. You will retain the material much better if you take the responsibility for answering our questions instead of relying on us to answer them for you.
Q: How is taking an Internet course different from reading a computer book?
A: Like books, much of the information in our Internet courses will be conveyed to you in writing. But the similarities between books and our Internet workshops end there. In particular:
- We believe that computer skills are best acquired by coupling hands-on experience with information and expert advice. Each of our lessons comes complete with a quiz that has been carefully designed to reinforce the material covered in your lesson. Each quiz will be evaluated instantly and returned to you with meaningful feedback. In addition, many of your lessons will be accompanied with meaningful assignments that have been expertly crafted to give you practical hands-on experience with the material covered in your course. After you complete each assignment, you will be provided with all the information you need to self-evaluate your work and assess your own strengths and weaknesses.
- Whats more, our courses are crafted to exploit the interactive nature of the Internet, virtually ensuring that all of your course-related questions are answered. During the course, you will remain in constant contact with your instructor and your fellow students. Although most computer books are great at feeding you expert advice, none can give you the practical experience and level of interaction delivered by just one of our courses.
- Since most books are written many months before they are published, much of the material you find in books is out-of-date by the time they hit the store shelves. The dynamic and interactive nature of our courses makes it easy for you to receive up-to-the-minute instructions and advice from your instructor and classmates whenever you want it. This makes our online courses as timely, topical, and relevant to your needs as today's newspaper.
Q: How is taking an Internet course different from classroom instruction?
A: In todays fast-paced world, many of us find it difficult to take time away from work and family to attend school. One of the primary advantages of our Internet workshops is that you can "attend class" in the comfort and convenience of your own home and office. All you have to do is log into your online classroom when you are good and ready to read your lessons, complete your quizzes and assignments, or communicate with your instructor and fellow students. Our Internet courses fit into your schedule: you can take them before breakfast, during lunch, late at night, or at any other time you find convenient--the choice is yours!
