Registered Nurse (R.N.) is a national certification, not a New Hampshire license. How a New Hampshire court weighs it is decided case by case under the forum's expert rules; this page covers the credential's scope, the New Hampshire venues where a plan is examined, and our planners who hold it and serve New Hampshire.
Registered nurse licensure authorizes the practice of professional nursing. In life care planning, the RN is a qualifying clinical credential for both CLCP and CNLCP certification and grounds the plan in direct knowledge of skilled nursing care, medication administration, wound and skin care, supplies, and the daily routines that determine attendant care hours.
New Hampshire civil claims are tried in the Superior Court. Workers' compensation claims are administered by the Department of Labor, with disputes heard by its hearing officers and the Compensation Appeals Board.
Outside the civil courts, the New Hampshire Department of Labor, Workers' Compensation Division is the forum where a plan is most often examined in New Hampshire. KW Life Care Planning R.N.-credentialed experts apply nationally recognized standards while accounting for New Hampshire's practice environment.
R.N.-credentialed experts provide testimony in New Hampshire's courts, where expert qualification is determined case by case.
Highest court: New Hampshire Supreme Court. Federal venues: D.N.H..

Clinical familiarity with the hands-on care a condition requires: skilled nursing tasks, medication and supply quantities, equipment use, and the practical hours of attendant care a person needs at each level of function.
Certification is not legally required, but the CLCP or CNLCP documents specific training and examination in life care planning methodology and is widely expected in litigation.
The nurse planner testifies to the needs documented in the plan and their cost. Opinions that a specific treatment is medically necessary or causally related come from the treating or examining physician.
