Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP) is a national certification, not a Arkansas license. How a Arkansas court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Arkansas venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Arkansas.
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.
Arkansas civil claims are heard in the Circuit Courts. Workers' compensation disputes are decided by administrative law judges of the Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission, where future medical exposure is a frequent subject of life care testimony.
Outside the civil courts, the Arkansas Workers' Compensation Commission is the forum where a plan is most often examined in Arkansas. KW Life Care Planning CNLCP-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for Arkansas's practice environment.
CNLCP-credentialed experts provide testimony in Arkansas's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
Highest court: Arkansas Supreme Court. Federal venues: E.D. Ark., W.D. Ark..
