ABOUT JAN MARIE
She Built What Did Not Exist
Janice Dolnick (Jan Marie), BSN, RN, CLFN, is the Founder of the Institute for Legal Nursing & Forensic Science and the author of Building the Defense.
Jan Marie started where many nurses find themselves- exhausted, missing holidays, and wondering if this was really it.
One Christmas Day shift in 2009 changed everything. She decided to stop accepting the life she had and build something different.
That decision led her into legal forensic nursing and, eventually, to creating the only program that trains nurses to do this work while building a business around it.
For 17 years, she worked on serious criminal matters, murder trials, and high-profile cases that later appeared on Good Morning America and Dateline. She is also a speaker and has helped thousands of nurses find a path beyond the bedside.
Her message is simple: you are not stuck. Your clinical experience has value far beyond the hospital walls.
FAQs

Have more questions or interested in learning more about our program?
-
Yes. Attorneys handle thousands of cases involving medical records every year and most of them do not have anyone on staff who can read a chart the way a trained nurse can. Personal injury, malpractice, criminal defense, insurance all of these practice areas need clinical eyes on medical records. The demand is there. You are not bound to your local area and can work with attorneys and cases across the country. The shortage is trained nurses who know how to deliver work attorneys trust.
-
No. This is remote, behind-the-scenes consulting work. You are not providing patient care, so your nursing license state does not restrict where you can work. CLFN nurses work with attorneys and firms across the country.
-
Yes. The program is self-paced with no deadlines. Most nurses complete it while still employed. You can start part-time, take cases evenings or weekends, and transition on your own timeline.
-
No. In the legal system, attorneys hire based on work product, not titles. No governing body exists that an attorney checks before hiring a nurse. What matters is whether you can produce reports that save them time and help them build better cases. The CLFN program trains you to do exactly that and gives you the business tools to go find the attorneys who need you.
-
Yes. The CLFN certification was created by Janice Dolnick (Jan Marie), BSN, RN, CLFN, who has worked as a legal forensic nurse since 2009. The program is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider #17837, for 47 continuing education credits, which align with ANCC standards. California Board of Registered Nursing standards are generally accepted for CE credits in many other states. However, it's always advisable for nurses to confirm with their specific state board to ensure compliance with local continuing education requirements. This program has been running since 2015.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
We are committed to supporting you as you learn how to build and operate your legal forensic nursing business.
Our role is to provide the education, training, tools, resources, coaching, community support, and proven business-development processes contained within the CLFN Program.
From learning how to approach attorneys to completing your first case reports, you will have access to guidance and support throughout the process.
IF YOU HAVE NOT SECURED A CASE WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF LAUNCHING PHASE 3
If, within six months of launching Phase 3, the business-building phase of the CLFN Program, you have not yet secured your first qualifying attorney case, ILNFS will waive the then-current $49.95 monthly continuation fee and allow you to continue receiving eligible program support without that monthly charge until you secure your first qualifying case, provided you have satisfied the eligibility requirements below.
For purposes of this commitment, the six-month period begins on the date the participant officially launches or begins Phase 3 as documented within the CLFN Program or tracking system.
This is a continuation-of-support commitment, not a guarantee of employment, clients, cases, revenue, profit, or any other business result.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To qualify for the waived continuation fee, the participant must have timely and substantially completed the required implementation and business-development activities established by ILNFS, including the applicable requirements identified in the CLFN tracking system and program materials.
These requirements include, where applicable:
• Completion of required program coursework and practice assignments;
• Completion of the required attorney outreach and follow-up activities;
• Consistent use of the marketing and business-development system taught in the program;
• Completion and documentation of required outreach activities within the CLFN tracker;
• Participation in required coaching, implementation, or support activities;
• Submission of requested materials for review when assistance is offered; and
• Good-faith implementation of reasonable recommendations provided by ILNFS.
ILNFS may request documentation demonstrating completion of these requirements before waiving the continuation fee.
Failure to complete or document the required implementation activities may make the participant ineligible for the fee waiver.
RESULTS ARE NOT GUARANTEED
The CLFN Program is an educational and business-training program. ILNFS does not guarantee that any participant will obtain a client, attorney relationship, case, contract, employment opportunity, particular level of revenue, profit, or other financial or professional result.
Operating a legal forensic nurse consulting business requires individual effort and involves factors outside the control of ILNFS, including but not limited to the participant's implementation, communication skills, professional experience, geographic market, attorney demand, competition, case availability, economic conditions, pricing, responsiveness, and individual business decisions.
ILNFS cannot perform these activities on behalf of the participant and cannot control how consistently or effectively a participant implements the training.
Examples, testimonials, student results, case volumes, revenues, or earnings discussed by ILNFS are provided only as examples of individual experiences and should not be interpreted as a promise, representation, or guarantee that another participant will achieve the same or similar result. Individual results vary.
NO REFUNDS
Due to the immediate-access, educational, digital, intellectual-property, coaching, and business-training nature of the CLFN Program, all purchases are final and tuition and program fees are non-refundable except where otherwise required by applicable law.
Enrollment provides access to proprietary training, curriculum, resources, systems, templates, intellectual property, coaching, and/or community resources. A participant's decision not to complete the program, inability to devote sufficient time to the program, failure to implement the training, change in personal or professional circumstances, or failure to achieve a desired business result does not create a right to a refund.
The participant is responsible for determining before enrollment whether the program is appropriate for their goals, schedule, financial circumstances, and professional plans.
WHAT WE CAN PROMISE
We cannot promise what the market will do or how an individual participant will implement the program.
What we can promise is that eligible participants who do the required work will not simply be abandoned after completing the initial program period.
If you meet the requirements above and have not secured your first qualifying case within six months of launching Phase 3, the business-building phase, we will waive the applicable monthly continuation fee and continue providing eligible program support until you secure that first qualifying case, subject to the Program Terms and Conditions.
