Being a CLNC® Is a Way To Use My Nursing Skills and Is a Step Up, Too by Sue Burnham, RNC, CLNC, Washington Why on earth would I choose a nurse paralegal program when I have the Vickie Milazzo Institute's CLNC® Certification Program? I never even considered a nurse paralegal program. I see being a nurse paralegal as a step down. While I have great respect for the paralegals I work with, that is not the direction I wanted my nursing career to go. I wanted a career that built on all my years at the bedside. All that work was not going to waste. I wanted to use my clinical skills, but use them in a different way. Legal nurse consulting is a satisfying step up from my clinical nursing career. Becoming a Certified Legal Nurse Consultants was definitely the right choice for me. I grew up in a close-knit neighborhood and church community. As a nurse, I saw my nursing colleagues as another important community. As a CLNC®, I see other Certified Legal Nurse Consultants as a vital part of my community. Now I can have long-distance friends joined in a close community via email and cell phone. We Certified Legal Nurse Consultants need each other. A small business owner can feel isolated -- but that is not the case when you are a CLNC®. I love being a part of the National Alliance of Certified Legal Nurse Consultants (NACLNC®) Community. I gained a great CLNC® education with Vickie Milazzo at the helm. I am also part of a program that offers continual support, mentoring and ongoing education. The best program is always the right choice. A nurse paralegal program was not for me. © 2003 Medical-Legal Consulting Institute, Inc.
