Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP) is a national certification, not a Arizona license. How a Arizona court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Arizona venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Arizona.
The CNLCP certifies registered nurses in life care planning grounded in the nursing process: assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Nurse life care planners bring hands-on clinical knowledge of medications, supplies, skilled care, and daily care routines to the documentation of future needs, frequencies, and costs.

CNLCP-credentialed experts provide testimony in Arizona's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
