Now that the holiday shopping season is over it’s time for all Certified Legal Nurse Consultants to take a few minutes and make sure that their computers survived the shopping stress.

The One Question Attorneys Never Want to Hear from Certified Legal Nurse Consultants

To get attorneys engaged during an interview, Certified Legal Nurse Consultants should ask questions. But not just any question will do. In fact, there is one question you never, ever want to ask.

How Smart Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Win the Procrastination Battle Using LegalNurse.com’s Report Samples

“It’s the start that stops most people.” This old saying is never more true than when a new Certified Legal Nurse Consultant writes her first few medical-related case reports for attorney-clients.

Microsoft Office, including Word, PowerPoint and Excel all come with a myriad of menus that a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant uses on a regular basis.

Five Ways Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Can Turn Opposing Attorneys into Clients

Vickie’s Favorite Quotes: Albert Einstein

Everybody today wants to be the expert and, being the expert myself in the legal nurse consulting industry, I get it.
