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