Hi, my name is Susan Thibeault and I’m here at the LegalNurse.com’s CLNC Certification Course. I’m very excited to become a CLNC consultant. I’ve been waiting a long time to come here.
I want to share my story. About a year ago I was involved in an accident, and it was through my work with my personal injury attorney that I decided “Hey, I’m a nurse and I can help him with his medical malpractice cases and provide value to him.” The next day I saw a LegalNurse.com ad in a nursing journal and I thought “This is a sign! I have to do this.”
In talking with my attorney one day, I mentioned I was going to be coming to the Institute (I’m a CRNA, a nurse anesthetist), he said, “Sue, I’m reviewing a case that involves anesthesia and a difficult intubation resulting in injury. Would you be interested in taking a look at it?”
I’ve already started to help him before even completing the certification as a legal nurse consultant and he’s going to use me more in the future – he’s already told me. So I’ve got my first attorney-client!
