Some legal nurse consultants think they’re in the legal nurse consulting business, but successful CLNC® consultants know they’re really in the marketing business. Everything is marketing.

Tom’s Tech Tip: Two Tips for Editing Legal Nurse Consulting Documents in Word
I’m never done editing a document, and if you’re like me, you probably edit and re-edit your legal nurse consulting work product multiple times before turning it in to your attorney-client.

I’ve been there and done that. The service is superior and the waitlists (even with online appointments) are long.

Five-Step Writing Process for Certified Legal Nurse Consultants – When It Has to Be Good and Fast
As a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant, you will frequently give attorney-clients verbal opinions on medical-related cases, but you will also render written opinions on cases.

Thoughts for Success: When You Feel Like You’re Swimming Upstream You Just Have to Turn and Go with the Flow
Yesterday was not a good day. It seemed as though every task I started was taking twice as long as it should and nothing was getting completed.
