There is also a certification for Nurse Paralegals, which may be an area of interest to anyone with a medical background. The nurse paralegal is considered support staff in a law firm that handles legal matters in the medical field. A nurse paralegal may also become certified and earn the professional title of Certified Legal Nurse Consultant, which expands his or her opportunities for advancement and unlimited earning capacity. The salary rate of a CLNC is calculated at a much higher consultant rate, rather than a lower paralegal rate.

Very interesting, I can see how it would be beneficial for a law firm that handles medical claims to have a nurse on staff, but nurses make a great deal more than the average paralegal (as they should). I bet that the pay scale for nurse paralegals is much higher.
