A clinical nurse specialist is an ideal expert witness in cases alleging nursing negligence. Nurses choose to serve in this capacity for a variety of reasons. As an expert witness, a clinical nurse specialist may act as a consultant, review medical records, give depositions, translate medical jargon, testify in court, educate attorneys, suggest questions for attorneys to ask of witnesses, and provide opinions about the standard of care a client received. Guidelines for qualifications of an expert, reviewing medical records, preparing opinions, and testifying are given. Reactions to serving as an expert are discussed.
