How Can You Know the Answer if You Don’t Know the Question?
Savvy Certified Legal Nurse Consultants know that the questions you raise are usually more important that the answers you derive. In some ways asking quality questions calls for more intelligence, insight and experience than answering them. After all, isn’t that what Google and Wikipedia are for (just kidding)?
Manage Yourself as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant
“Manage yourself” is the mantra of my trainer Jerome. In the middle of a set of chest presses he’ll say “Vickie, manage yourself.” He’s not asking for much – just for me to engage my core, abs and glutes, pin my shoulder blades to the bench and press with my chest, not my arms. Jerome is an awesome trainer, but whenever I hear those two simple words, one fact is clear: he’s the trainer and I’m the one pushing the barbell off my chest. He can’t contract my glutes for me and he can’t activate my chest muscles. That’s my job.
What Are You Leaving on the Table?

Certified Legal Nurse Consultants – It’s Time to Get Relevant
If you walk by a news stand, turn on the TV or even surf the Internet you’ll find way too much information. Every media outlet is grasping for our attention and trying so hard to stay relevant that they’re actually making themselves irrelevant by pumping out a lot of information that borders on the ridiculous. How much longer are we going to hear about Tom and Katie’s divorce? And do any of us really want to hear an exhausting analysis of every statement every politician ever makes, whether big or small? People are even starting to mirror that same behavior on Facebook and Twitter by clogging up our news feeds with meaningless posts and tweets. For me it all adds up to a low signal-to-noise ratio and my solution is to tune out the irrelevance.
Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Legal Nurse Consultants – Put a Timer On It with Timer-Tab.com
