Renowned speaker, nursing celebrity and mentor to thousands, Vickie L. Milazzo, RN, MSN, JD presents Imagine, Believe and Achieve Infinite Possibilities as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. Vickie introduces nurses to the role of the Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. She shows you how to use your nursing skills, expertise and insider knowledge of the healthcare system to enter this growing and prosperous nursing specialty.

 An Inc. Top 10 Entrepreneur and the pioneer of legal nurse consulting, Vickie teaches you how Certified Legal Nurse Consultants are instrumental in assuring a fair and equitable outcome for all parties in a medical-related legal case. As a CLNC^® consultant, you represent the nursing profession and uphold the standards promulgated by the profession.

Vickie defines the types of clients legal nurse consultants work with and the types of cases on which they consult:

• Clients – law firms, insurance companies, healthcare providers, utilization review firms, government agencies and private corporations.
• Cases – any case involving health and healthcare issues, including medical malpractice, personal injury, products liability, toxic tort, workers’ compensation and criminal cases.

Vickie outlines specific CLNC^® services you can provide to attorneys and how you can:

1. Take control of the mountain of medical records and analyze the case for the attorney with a nurse’s insider insight.
2. Screen a case for merit, giving the attorney a bottom-line opinion on whether it’s even a case.
3. Make sure the attorney’s medical and nursing experts are the best – and best prepared – to support the case.
4. Support the attorney’s case by researching the most current and authoritative healthcare literature.
5. Serve as the attorney’s liaison by interviewing clients and key witnesses.

Vickie illustrates the advantages of pursuing a full-time or part-time career as a legal nurse consultant:

• You will become a better nurse by becoming aware of the legal issues that pervade the healthcare system.
• You will become financially independent in a profession that allows you to earn $125-150/hr.
• You will enjoy the satisfaction of contributing to the effectiveness of the legal system by providing healthcare expertise that attorneys simply do not possess.
• You will help to assure that only the nursing profession defines nursing standards of care.
