If you’ve never had a hospital management job as an RN you’ve probably never taken a leadership class. Yet leadership is required of every registered nurse no matter your RN job. Remember that new resident you guided to give appropriate medical orders? And the patient you educated about a chronic health condition? And that attending physician that you had to hand-lead to a correct diagnosis? Those are just a few examples of how RNs exercise leadership every day on the job.
I confess, when I was an RN practicing clinically at the bedside, leadership was a word that didn’t get my juices flowing. It sounded staid and boring. When I started my legal nurse consulting business in 1982 I quickly learned that leadership is one of the most provocative and exciting words in the dictionary.
Leadership matters in your legal nurse consulting business. No one is going to tell you what to do, when to do it and how to do it. As a legal nurse consultant you’re the advisor to attorneys. You have to take the lead and hold onto it. That’s why they pay you the big CLNC® bucks.
I invite you to watch this legal nurse consulting video on leadership responsibilities, why leadership matters and what leadership really means to you and your CLNC business. Then I invite you to comment on how you fulfill your leadership role as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant and the challenges you had to overcome along the way.
Success Is Yours!
P.S. Comment and share how you fill your leadership role as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant.
Excellent guidance, V.M.!
