Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Legal Nurse Consultants Should Always Have Locks with Their Bagels

We’ve all been there – in a Starbucks with our laptops, drinking coffee and munching on a bagel or other tasty snack while working on our legal nurse consulting business or waiting for an appointment with an attorney-client. Then, right after the third vente skinny latte, you guessed it, it’s restroom time. I know that nurses can (and often do) go for weeks without using the restroom, but sometimes duty just plain calls. When that happens, what do you do with your laptop?

Want Some Cheese to Go with Your Whine?

I detest whining and complaining, but I too am very capable of it and accomplished at it. Women often like to talk out our problems. But there’s a fine line between talking something out and simply whining and complaining about it. I’ve been known to ask an employee or two or four, “Hey, would you like me to get you some cheese to go with that whine?”

It’s Not Just How You Smell as a Legal Nurse Consultant (Or Is It?)

We’ve all been taught that what’s on the inside is much more important than what’s on the outside. But contrary to what the experts say, I believe what’s on the outside just might be as important (or even more important) than what’s on the inside.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Mailed, Faxed or Scanned – What’s the Difference to a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant?

A fervent, or perhaps feral, reader recently asked me whether contracts with her attorney-clients that have “facsimile signatures” or are “facsimile contracts” are valid. A “facsimile signature” was originally a signature that was stamped or applied by mechanical means other than a handwritten signature. In the good ‘ole days you signed two copies of your contract and then mailed, FedExed or presented those copies to the other side who then signed them both, by hand or by stamp, and returned one fully executed copy to you by mail, FedEx or personal delivery.

Certified Legal Nurse Consultants If You’re Gonna Bust Something, Make It Your Plans

Every day I wake up with a plan. By the time I’ve had my second cup of healthy green tea I’ve usually busted that plan. So am I suggesting that I’m beginning to think planning is a waste of time for Certified Legal Nurse Consultants? Absolutely not. Planning is what gives you and your legal nurse consulting business vision, direction and intention.

Acknowledge Your Unique Expertise for Power Positioning

As an RN, you come from an industry that shows scant respect for all you know and all you do. It’s a fact that consumers believe doctors make the big decisions. As a result, it’s doctors who get most of the credit. But you and I know that it is the nurse who has more patient interaction and invariably knows more about what’s really going on with the patient. And it pays substantially to convince attorneys of this fact.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Keep Your Hands (and Fingertips) Clean

Vickie and I have a friend who’s an Android® phone user. She’s inordinately proud of the fact that she can “trace” a unique pattern on the surface of her phone as her password or security key. She thinks this is much more secure than my 4-digit iPhone® combination number. But guess what, it’s not!

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Laptop Computer Recommendations for Legal Nurse Consultants

Last week I talked about desktop computer specs and promised to tell the Certified Legal Nurse Consultants the true Hollywood story of my new laptop purchase. As you can guess, I was picturing a sleek ultrabook. Something 1/8” thick, faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a Cray® XE6 and weighing less than a change of mind. Turns out I ended up with a 11”x19”x 1 ¾”, 7 lb. “desktop replacement.” I don’t have a problem with that because when I’m saving the free world on a daily basis, I need the computing power (You’re still here aren’t you?).
