Different Roles Of A Nurse Expert Witness

By Gloria Gardner


Florence Nightingale was a symbol of hope to thousands of wounded soldiers in the Crimean War, which pitted an alliance of the British, French, Ottoman and Sardinia empires against the Russian empire. She is credited with laying the foundations of modern nursing. She would not have foreseen the rise of a nurse expert witness.

A normal observer is called a lay onlooker. Their role is to present facts about a case. They are legally not allowed to then present an opinion on those points. In contrast, skilled witnesses can.

He or she also needs to have practiced for a certain period of time. This improves the credibility of their testimony should they ever be called to give it. It is also essential that they should not have previous criminal records, even if those are eventually disproved; there should not even be a whiff of misconduct about them.

This helps them interpret their know how in a way that is useful to a court of law. To qualify as knowledgeable viewer, a registered harbor needs to undergo beyond lawful training. In addition, they should not have a criminal record, and should have practiced for several years.

To qualify, an enrolled person caring for patients must have practiced for a number of years to gather the requisite experience. They should not have a criminal record; they should not even have been accused of any malpractice. They should also have undergone through Para legal exercise.

Many people tend to associate nurses with care and love. This is partly as a result of the trend started by Florence Nightingale, the almost semi mythical founder of modern nursing. She probably would not have foreseen that one day, one of those who followed in her footsteps would be playing a role as a nurse expert witness in a court of law.
