EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

A nurse attorney is trained in both law and nursing.

The legal training consists of earning a Juris Doctor degree from an accredited university and passing the bar in each state in which the nurse attorney wishes to practice law.  Law school usually takes three years to complete, but most schools have evening programs for students who work during the daytime.

A nurse attorney must also earn a nursing degree from an accredited university and pass the NCLEX.  A Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree is the most common degree earned by a nurse attorney, but many go on to earn graduate degrees in nursing.
