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.

-
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.
