    ATLANTIS, FL, September 07, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Penny Shifrin, Legal Nurse Consultant for Risk Management Nursing, has been recognized as a Distinguished Professional in her field through Women of Distinction Magazine. Penny Shifrin will be featured in an upcoming edition of the Women of Distinction Magazine in 2016/2017.

Becoming a Registered Nurse in 1982 after obtaining her BSN at State University of New York Health Science Center, Penny Shifrin spent time gaining experience in a number of different specialties, including in an in-patient hospital setting as a Medical Surgical Nurse, on an in-patient psychiatry ward, has conducted research in the pharmaceutical industry, and served as an Adjunct Faculty for Palm Beach State College where she taught anatomy and physiology and a nursing skills course. Sixteen years later, Shifrin took a leap of faith by becoming certified as a Legal Nurse Consultant and today is working for Risk Management Nursing in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Providing clients with her professional opinion on the standard of care as it pertains to the practice of nursing, Shifrin utilizes a proactive risk management approach. Helping clients apply the legal standards for nursing care to avoid and manage litigation exposure, she also assists them in finding the best approach to minimizing future risk.

"My career in legal nurse consulting has provided me with many great opportunities," Shifrin said. "One of my most interesting experiences was working for a major cruise line company where I was hired to manage the crew's medical department. Having to serve as a liaison between the medical and legal department, I had to learn all about healthcare around the world and what types of healthcare was available for both crew members and guests when emergency situations arose. Working as a Legal Nurse Consultant allows me to work with all types of clients in many different environments. No two days are the same."

Shifrin is a Certified Medical Research Coordinator and a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. Active with various community organizations, she has co-chaired the Go Red for Woman campaign, an event that educates women on heart disease and the many risk factors. She also eagerly educated the public and has served as a Chairperson for the American Heart Association. Married to her husband, a cardiologist, for 34 years, Shifrin and he have three children who are all college graduates and working professionals.
