Certified Nurse Life Care Planner (CNLCP) is a national certification, not a U.S. Virgin Islands license. How a U.S. Virgin Islands court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the U.S. Virgin Islands venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve U.S. Virgin Islands.
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.
Civil claims in the U.S. Virgin Islands are tried in the Superior Court of the Virgin Islands. Workers' compensation is administered by the Department of Labor, and specialist care not available on-island is priced for travel to the mainland.

CNLCP-credentialed experts provide testimony in U.S. Virgin Islands's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
