In 1982 nurses weren’t starting businesses in droves. And the term legal nurse consultant didn’t yet exist. What possibly made me think I could do something no other nurse had done before? That’s Promise 5 – believing as a nurse I really could do anything. Believing you can do it is 90 percent of the win.
I still remember vividly my first interview with an attorney. I was sitting in the attorney’s office to promote my brand new legal nurse consulting business. He was sitting behind a big desk and I was so nervous my legs were shaking and I worried that if I had to stand suddenly I might faint. What got me through that first interview was remembering who I was – a registered nurse.
I thought if that attorney was in a hospital gown with his backside showing I would have no problem introducing myself and inserting a Foley catheter. During my 27 years of owning Vickie Milazzo Institute, I always remember I’m an RN whenever I hesitate to go for what I want.
