The majority of Life Care Planners are nurses in independent practice. Nurses typically choose
Nurse Life Care Planning as a career enhancement and earn an average of $150/hour. Studies
show several Nurse Life Care Planners will retire within the next 5-10 years, which
leaves the door wide open for you! FIG Nursing Education is the perfect way to prepare
for a successful future!

a recorded webinar, on-site class, independent study, completion of Nurse Life Care Plan
report, and mentorship with experienced Certified Nurse Life Care Planners. The student will be
provided with instructions, webinar recordings, sample letters/reports and templates, and homework

Section 11 (Legal) has also been pre-approved by ICHCC for the required onsite legal component to sit for the CLCP exam. SECTION 11 IS OPEN TO ALL LIFE CARE PLANNERS (NOT JUST NURSES) WHO ARE INTERESTED IN CONSULTING AND EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES.
Sections 1-10 are taught in a recorded webinar with homework assignments. Rather than sitting in a classroom setting for numerous hours, you have the convenience/ comfort of sitting in front of your computer at work or home. A recorded webinar is cost effective by eliminating airfare, travel, hotel, and meal costs. A recorded webinar also reduces time away from work and family. The recorded webinar allows you to view the slide presentation and listen to the audio from the Instructor. You will be able to pause, fast forward, and rewind the recorded webinar - to learn at your own pace. Homework assignments will be given at the end of each section to assure you are on target with the learning process. You will also be able to email/call the Instructor with questions or comments.
*The student has the option of choosing a recorded webinar with homework assignment OR on-site classroom setting for Section 11. If choosing the on-site classroom setting, the student will attend a 2 1/2 day classroom setting in beautiful Asheville, NC. Choosing the on-site classroom for Section 11 is strongly recommended and considered to be the clinical/hands-on portion of the course. The on-site classroom setting will consist of no more than 10-12 students and 3-4 Instructors to provide a round table learning environment. Students will have the opportunity to interact with instructors on a one-on-one basis and see actual Nurse Life Care Plans regarding the case studies.
