Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP) is a national certification, not a Guam license. How a Guam court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Guam venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Guam.
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.
