Cheap Can Be Expensive for Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business

Everybody, including me, loves a bargain. While I don’t like to actually bargain, I do like to feel that I’ve received value for my money. If I get that value during a sale or find something I want at a heavily discounted price, I’m happy. But one thing I won’t do is buy cheap at the expense of quality. While cheap may feel like a bargain at the time, it often ends up costing more in replacement costs, repairs or in a state of dissatisfaction.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Are Gold-Plated Cables Worth Their Weight in Gold?

I was unpacking my portable printer and I realized that my USB printer cable had gone walkabout, probably left behind on a recent trip. However, this was not entirely bad news, my CLNC® amigos. This gave me a perfect excuse to drop by my favorite computer store, not just to grab a new cable, but to also wander the aisles with tech-lust in my heart and the company AMEX in my hand.

Certified Legal Nurse Consultants – You’ll Thank Me Later for This One!

On our vacation to Provence, I consciously left my iPhone® at home. That sounds good and healthy, right? Well it did feel good and healthy right up until the time I stepped off the airplane in Paris and reached into my purse for my phone. Nothing there. Momentary tachycardia, like when you can’t find your wallet, car keys or wedding ring (Where was I last night?). I remembered the phone was at home, took a few deep breaths and headed to passport control.

Put Some Heart in Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business

Many of you know I share my birthday with my twin brother Vince. (No, we’re not identical, he’s my brother.). When we were teenagers, our parents took us to the local roller-skating rink for our birthday party. All of our friends came and we were soon skating clockwise around the rink, all at different speeds and at different levels of skill.

Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Know to Tell’em, Tell’em again and then Tell’em What You Told Them

Successful Certified Legal Nurse Consultants know that one of the tricks to effectively communicating with attorney-clients is to recognize the different forms of communication necessary to get a point across. One of the best methods I’ve found is this: explain the issue in plain English, then explain it again using an example and finally, explain how the example illustrates the point you just made twice.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Have You Customized Your Google and Yahoo! Homepages for Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business?

It’s never good to rely on just one search engine. On June 7th I recommended that CLNC® consultants keep both a customized Yahoo!® and Google® homepage in their browsers. In an even earlier blog, I explained how to customize your Google homepage for RSS feeds which will keep you in the know. This week I’ll tell you how to do the same for your Yahoo! homepage.

Friends, Good Friends and Louisiana Friends

I just spent the Fourth of July weekend with one of my best high school friends, Missy from New Orleans. We especially bonded when we attended an all boys high school together to take a physics class and made the Times-Picayune newspaper for being the first and only girls in the city of New Orleans to ever attend an all-boys school. Over the years we have shared laughs and tears and an incredible friendship that has stood the test of time.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Now That the Fireworks Are Over – Where’s Your Lost Phone?

The Fourth of July has passed along with the fireworks, the beer, the barbeque and quite possibly your cell phone, depending upon how hard you partied last night while celebrating the birth of our nation. There’s no faster way to lose a cell phone than to be in some unfamiliar place (or physical state) and put your phone down for just a second. You lay it on the picnic table, tilt the box to get that last bit of white zin and next thing you know you’ve walked away, leaving Steve Jobs’ finest accomplishment behind.

Is Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business Off the Map?

I’ll be the first to admit I have a bad sense of direction. If I’m traveling with Tom and we come to an intersection he’ll ask me which way I think we should turn. Invariably he’ll go the opposite way and he’s usually – annoyingly – right.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Why Does Windows Tell a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant Not to Delete a File?

Last week I explained to Certified Legal Nurse Consultants how to delete a file when Windows® won’t let you. This week, I want to remind you that it’s a good idea to do an occasional spring or early summer cleaning of your documents, photos, folders and files. Take some time and make sure you find all the legal nurse consulting flotsam and jetsam (not to mention detritus and other cosmic debris).
