Mary Beth Kerstein of Milford, Michigan, is a registered nurse whose nursing career spans 38 years. She is clinically active and has worked in the hospital setting her entire career. Her roles in the hospital setting include staff RN, critical care education coordinator, clinical nurse manager, data analyst in quality program, and administrative supervisor.

She grew up with a passion for nursing and teaching. She holds a master’s degree in nursing and has obtained multiple certifications that allow her to provide the most optimal evaluation and reports. 

In 2002, she began her legal nurse consulting career after hearing a presentation given by the defense attorney at the hospital where she was working. Mary Beth accepted a part-time in-house legal nurse consultant position in addition to continuing her staff RN role at the hospital. This most treasured opportunity to work with a dedicated legal team allowed her to learn many aspects of how the LNC can assist lawyers to share her nursing knowledge and expertise. Her most memorable or exhilarating LNC moment was when she developed a chronology for “Mr. Bleeding”, and shared rationale with the attorney that it was “time to break out the checkbook”.

Since 2009, she has worked at a case management firm where she has analyzed thousands of medical records, simplifying complex medical cases documenting the health status before and after traumatic events in variety of reports that are shared with the case management team, healthcare providers, attorneys, and insurance providers. The key to her success is the objective ability to analyze complex medical scenarios.
