As a Legal Nurse Consultant, Are You as Irresistible to Attorneys as Starbucks® Is to Coffee Lovers?

On my trip from Houston to San Diego to attend the christening of my new great-niece Reese, I experienced a strong dose of branding. Many of you know I enjoy my cups of healthy green tea almost as much as I enjoy a glass of healthy red wine. You probably don’t know that I have a secret addiction for Starbucks coffee. One that’s not entirely healthy if I’m not careful to tame it. I don’t get a Starbucks fix on a daily basis, but I manage to fit in two-three cups a week (usually at least one free one) on my morning walks with Tom. So, anytime I hit an airport in the morning (and I tend to fly only in the morning), my internal GPS goes off as soon as I clear security. That GPS will lead Tom and I directly to the airport’s Starbucks for my “red-eye.”

Why Florence Nightingale Didn’t Catch the Swine Flu

Earlier in the week I was having a skylight repaired in my bathroom. The ceiling is pretty high so it required a long ladder and two repairmen – one to do the work and one to steady the ladder. Naturally the guy holding the ladder got bored quickly and became quite chatty. At one point, apropos of nothing, he mentioned that he couldn’t wait for lunch. I overhead him and asked him if he’d had breakfast (healthy green tea and a healthy breakfast is an important way to start your day.). He told me he’d had a small one – his wife didn’t cook him any bacon to go with his eggs. I replied that he was lucky on two fronts – (1) his wife cooked him breakfast (I was glad Tom didn’t hear him say that) and (2) she’s helping him watch his diet.

What’s Inside Every American, Vietnamese, Polish and Indonesian Woman Today?

Yesterday I learned that the Vietnamese version of my Wall Street Journal bestseller Inside Every Woman: Using the 10 Strengths You Didn’t Know You Had to Get the Career and Life You Want Now was published.

When you sell the foreign rights, the new publisher creates a new cover, usually different than the original U.S. version. As a result, it’s fun to see how each country treats the cover of my book and how it varies from country to country.

Take a look at these Inside Every Woman book covers, comment and vote for your favorite!

Success Is Inside!

P.S. Which of these 10 Strengths: Fire, Renewal, Intuitive Vision, Engagement, Agility, Genius, Integrity, Endurance, Enterprise, Renewal, Female Fusion® are you using for your legal nurse consulting business today?

Ask Vickie: Duplicate Records

Vickie,
I am reviewing records on a case and I am summarizing them into a written chronological report for my attorney-client. I have received multiple records from different facilities and I noticed that some of the facilities’ records are duplicates of records I received from other facilities. Do I still include them in my report even though they are repeats?

Why Are You and Starbucks® Giving Away Free Coffee?

When the weather is as glorious as it’s been here in Texas this spring, Tom and I’ll often take an early morning walk to one of our local Starbucks – we have five to choose from but only one serves free coffee consistently. How do you get free coffee at Starbucks? Easy – go to the one where the staff has developed the bad habit of not being ready when the doors open.
I don’t know if it’s a Starbucks corporate policy, but it’s certainly a policy at this local Starbucks that if you show up after they open and they’re out of coffee, or even worse, haven’t brewed it yet, they’ll give you your coffee for free (if you can stand the waiting around for your caffeine-fix).

Get Out and Retie the Connection Over Fried Oysters and Seafood Gumbo

I recently got together with one of my oldest attorney-clients over some fried oysters and seafood gumbo. Now I’m not talking about his age, but about how long we’ve worked together. He was my first attorney-client when I started my legal nurse consulting business.

Every computer has cookies. Some come from the Internet and are auto-stored on your hard drive in your web browser. Others are stored in your keyboard – they’re the detritus of all those years of Oreos you’ve munched on while hunched over your computer. What’s a CLNC consultant to do other than start a carb-free diet?
