How Much Time Are You Willing to Give as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant?

Certified Legal Nurse Consultants engage in a variety of communications with a variety of people. We discuss cases with our attorney-clients, CLNC subcontractors and attorney-prospects. The key to having an effective conversation is not just listening, but also engaging and knowing when to end. One of the Institute’s customer service representatives told me about the time he spent almost an hour speaking with a prospective CLNC consultant. He listened to her talk about her life, family and dissatisfaction with her current nursing position. They talked about legal nurse consulting and the freedom it provides and they just talked, but according to Evan, he did a lot more listening than talking.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Don’t Get Caught Phishing

A recent whitepaper I reviewed explained that the top three subject lines for “phishing” email have to do with bank account, credit card activity or security notifications. Phishing emails look like they come from a legitimate organization, such as your bank or credit card company. This is designed to scare you and set you off-balance so that you take a rash step like clicking on the included links because you’re focused on the fear – not the quality of the message.

Certified Legal Nurse Consultants – Today’s the Day to Take Action!

One of the 5 Promises I made when I started my legal nurse consulting business was to take action every day. But when I talk about taking action every day, I’m not taking about buying office supplies or creating the perfect office. While those are certainly laudable actions – they’re not moving your CLNC business forward.

The Kiss of Death or Authoritative Resource?

Talking with Certified Legal Nurse Consultants and CLNC students, I sometimes hear things that take my breath away. The most recent incident occurred when a student asked whether or not she could cite Wikipedia in her work product.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Charge Yourself Up After the Holidays

I’m sure that almost every Certified Legal Nurse Consultant either gave or received a new electronic gadget of some type for the holidays. It may be an iPad or other tablet, a new iPhone or even a Surface tablet. But once the fun starts and you’ve learned how to use it, it’s almost guaranteed to run short on power.

Step Up to Step Out as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant!

When you step out to become a CLNC consultant you’re making the first and most important decision in your new career as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. But stepping out also requires that you step up. This means that you’ve got to step up and embrace new thoughts to see yourself as a successful Certified Legal Nurse Consultant.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Messages from the Other Side, or Just from Facebook?

Certified Legal Nurse Consultant Facebook users are long accustomed to sending and receiving “messages” through the “Messages” link on their “home” page or Timeline. If you’ve ever looked closely at your “Home” page you’ll see that you have an “Inbox” and an “Other” box. What’s the difference? Messages in your Inbox are sent directly from the “Message” button on your Timeline. If an attorney or CLNC subcontractor is your “Friend” this is likely how they’ll contact you.

Here’s to a New Year Full of Magical Moments

The book “A Course in Miracles” says “The world you see is what you give it, nothing more than that… As a man thinketh, so does he perceive. Therefore, seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world… Judgment will always give you false directions, but vision shows you where to go.”
