Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP) is a national certification, not a Missouri license. How a Missouri court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the Missouri venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve Missouri.
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.
Missouri civil claims are tried in the Circuit Courts. Workers' compensation claims are heard by administrative law judges of the Division of Workers' Compensation.

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