Nikki Chambers, MSN, RN, LNC

I became a registered nurse in 2000 and a legal nurse consultant in 2007. But the credential that matters most to your case is the 16 years I spent at the bedside.

Most of those years were in adult intensive care and dialysis, and not just as a staff nurse but in the roles that run a unit: ICU preceptor and educator, BLS and ACLS instructor, Dialysis Nurse Manager, Safe Patient Handling Coordinator, Chair of the Clinical Practice Council, Chair of the Nurse Manager Committee, and acting Associate Chief Nurse for Ambulatory Care. All of it inside teaching hospitals, where I learned exactly how medical teams are supposed to run, and what it looks like when they don't.

That's the lens I bring to your medical record review. As a master's-prepared registered nurse with 26 years in nursing, I work with plaintiff and defense attorneys across the country to build clinically sound cases. I screen cases for merit, build medical chronologies you can actually use, research the standard of care and causation, prepare you for depositions, locate and vet your expert witnesses, and analyze EHR audit trails to surface what the medical record alone won't tell you. My work spans medical malpractice, personal injury, employment law, and federal healthcare fraud, including False Claims Act and Medicare fraud matters.

If I have one soapbox, it's audit trails. Most attorneys have no idea how much these electronic health record systems quietly log, or how often the metadata tells a different story than the chart. I love teaching lawyers to see it, because once you do, you stop getting blindsided.

Based near Salt Lake City, Utah, and working with law firms nationwide, I bring 26 years of nursing, a manager's eye for how hospitals really work, and a teacher's habit of explaining it in plain English. That's what I add to your litigation team.
