Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP) is a national certification, not a Georgia license. How a Georgia court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Georgia venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Georgia.
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.
Georgia civil claims are tried in the Superior Courts and, for many injury matters, the State Courts. Workers' compensation claims are decided by the State Board of Workers' Compensation and its administrative law judges.
Outside the civil courts, the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation is the forum where a plan is most often examined in Georgia. KW Life Care Planning CNLCP-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for Georgia's practice environment.
CNLCP-credentialed experts provide testimony in Georgia's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
Highest court: Supreme Court of Georgia. Federal venues: N.D. Ga., M.D. Ga., S.D. Ga..
