For the past year and a half, I have worked at a plaintiff’s law firm, specializing in personal injury, and I absolutely love the work. This is the only job where I feel like I work with my employer rather than for my employer. We synchronize well personally, and we both value communication. He trusts and values my opinion.
A typical day as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant is fun, rewarding and filled with self-fulfillment. It is my definition of the “dream job”.
Vickie: I’d like to introduce you to Certified Legal Nurse Consultant Ashley Moreau, RN-F, BSN, CCS, CLNC. Ashley thank you so much for joining me here today.
Vickie: I’d like to introduce you to Certified Legal Nurse Consultant, Lori Sprenger. Lori, thank you so much for joining me here today.
A typical day for me closely resembles that of any mom. I wake up at 6:00am, wake the kids, get dressed, prepare breakfast for everyone and drop the kids off at school for 7:00am.
Vickie: I’d like to introduce you to Lisa Ortega, RN, DNP, CLNC. Lisa thank you so much for joining me here today. The first thing I’m curious about Lisa is what got you interested and motivated to become a legal nurse consultant?
In sharing a typical day in the life of a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant, I could expound upon lots of reading, writing, and communicating with attorney-clients. I can even tell you about long and arduous depositions. Then I could tell you about those amazingly stressful testifying days during a trial.
When I became a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant in 2007, it was one of the first career moves that I researched before I took the plunge into the wild world of legal nurse consulting.
My day starts at 5:30am because I know I will have at least two hours of silence without phones, emails or distractions from dogs and the rest of the world. Very strong coffee is a given. First I go through overnight emails and flag them for review or respond right away, but I never send emails until after 8:30am. If someone gets my email at 6:00am, they know I’m up working and will take that as game on. I always review my schedule to make sure I didn’t double-book or have new items that need immediate attention.
