Savannah Kerstetter RN, BSN, LNC

Savannah Kerstetter is an experienced critical care nurse and the visionary founder and CEO of Capital Nurse Consulting. Her expertise spans multiple specialties, including Medical-Surgical Intensive Care (ICU), Neuroscience ICU, and Neonatal ICU.

The inspiration for Capital Nurse Consulting emerged in 2019 when Savannah's mother was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer. Through this difficult journey, Savannah witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of negligent and subpar healthcare. Despite her expertise as a registered nurse, she found herself unable to fully advocate for her mother from a distance, resulting in delayed treatment and precious lost time with her family.

Following her mother's passing in November of 2020, Savannah committed herself to finding ways to help others in similar situations. Drawing on her extensive knowledge and training from top legal nurse educators, she founded Capital Nurse Consulting (CNC).

CNC understands the trauma of receiving poor medical treatment, whether it be from medical malpractice, personal injury, or product liability. Our team of legal nurse consultants has decades of first-hand experience in all areas of the medical field, and we are eager to put that expertise to work for you as part of your legal team. With staff members located across the country, we provide innovative solutions that cater to your specific needs. Choose Capital Nurse Consulting for expert legal support and compassionate care.
