I’ll be the first to admit I have a bad sense of direction. If I’m traveling with Tom and we come to an intersection he’ll ask me which way I think we should turn. Invariably he’ll go the opposite way and he’s usually – annoyingly – right.
Last week I explained to Certified Legal Nurse Consultants how to delete a file when Windows® won’t let you. This week, I want to remind you that it’s a good idea to do an occasional spring or early summer cleaning of your documents, photos, folders and files. Take some time and make sure you find all the legal nurse consulting flotsam and jetsam (not to mention detritus and other cosmic debris).
The longer Certified Legal Nurse Consultants work in a Windows® world, the more problems they’ll run into. One of my least favorite Windows-related problems is trying to delete a file, only to have Windows tell you that it won’t because it’s in use by another program. Let’s say you finish a report for your legal nurse consulting business and decide to do a Save As and file it under a different name. Then you go back to delete the original draft report. You know you’ve closed that particular Word document and you’re darn sure ready to delete it. You select the file, hit the delete button or right-click on the file name and select delete from the pop-up menu. Windows thinks for a minute and suddenly this box appears.
When proofing a revised draft of a contract for my CLNC® business, do I really need to read it word for word?
Vickie and I travel a lot, so I’m always on the lookout for travel apps. I’ve come across some great apps that legal nurse consultants can use everywhere from Paris to Poughkeepsie and, with the exception of XE, I use all of these right in my hometown. Most of these are free and I’ve indicated where they’re available for iPhone®, Windows® Phone 7, Blackberry® and Android® users.
Here’s six of my favorite travel apps.
A marketing strategy I teach in the CLNC® Certification Program is to show the attorney what you can do. Telling is not enough. Carol Ann McLawhorn, RN, BSN, CLNC used this principle with an attorney-client who hired her to consult on a case and set a budget. Carol Ann knew she could do more, so she did just that.
I know many Certified Legal Nurse Consultants, both new and “seasoned,” like Google for their searching. Did you know you can personalize it and set how many search results it displays? I recommend that CLNC® consultants customize both Yahoo!® and Google® in their browsers. Customization can take a couple of different paths. This week I’m going to talk about customizing your Google homepage. The more things change, the more they stay the same – this is a quick update of an earlier Tech Tip.
Plaintiff and defense attorneys have been given an incredible gift by Mark Zuckerberg and the Facebook team. I’m not sure that Facebook had the plaintiff or defense bars in mind when they added the upgrade that allows Facebook users to download a “complete” copy of the postings to their profiles. This tool won’t capture messages sent back and forth by members using the messaging function but does a pretty good job of capturing postings to your profile, video, photographs, etc.
On a trip to Dallas Tom and I decided to splurge and take a rare dive into the breakfast buffet. We had a long day ahead of us and figured we’d at least have a good meal to start us off. I’m not normally a fan of buffets, but it was included in our room package so I figured what-the-hey – I can eat as little or as much as I want.
