Stretch Your Tastebuds Beyond Mental Junkfood to Improve Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business

This morning, while having my cup of healthy green tea, I looked over and found Tom reading a hardback copy of Next of Kin by Joanna Trollope. After the double-take, I asked him where he’d found it and he told me “on your bookshelf.” Then I remembered, all the books on the bookshelf I’ve talked about in my earlier blog are ones that we’ve read and, for whatever reason, have decided to keep. They’re paperbacks, hardbacks, a few legacy books, novels, biographies, travel books, fiction, science fiction (Tom), history, one on gardening that must have been a gift, and my book Inside Every Woman published in English, Vietnamese, Polish, Indonesian and Chinese (Soon to be joined by the Korean version!).

The CLNC® Pros Describe Their Favorite Attorney-Clients

Legal nurse consulting is a relationship business, so I asked the CLNC Pros to describe their favorite attorney-clients. Each one is different, but pay attention to some of the common themes throughout. Developing satisfying relationships with our attorney-clients is one thing Certified Legal Nurse Consultants love about owning their CLNC businesses.

CLNC® Success Story: I Overcame My Fears as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant When I Remembered: I Am a Nurse and I Can Do Anything!

My experience in hospital nursing was filled with mixed emotions. The frustration level was one that I have never experienced anywhere else. But I kept being a nurse, and I kept going to work. Nursing jobs paid the bills but did not contribute to my soul.

Something’s Rotten in China and in the U.S. – It’s Chinese Drywall

Homes across the U.S. are smelling like rotten eggs. There’s actually a deeper reason than a teenage boy’s socks. Depending upon the age and location of the home it may contain defective drywall. We’re all aware of the environmental problems and issues associated with China and its pollution, chemical spills and lead paint in children’s toys. But there are other ways that defective products can get into a home. One of which includes building or repairing the home with defective products (and the watchdog in this case is not the FDA)!

Free Marketing and an Attitude of Gratitude Will Boost Your CLNC® Business

Every day at our Chicago CLNC® Certification Seminar, the housekeeper left a handwritten thank-you note on my pillow. With that little note, she received a pay raise. The money I was leaving for a tip doubled after that second note. Her simple act of gratitude for a small gratuity led to a larger gratuity.

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.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Market FREE with Your Email Signature

Let’s look at what email signature files can do for your legal nurse consulting business. All of us use email, some of us use it sparingly, others incessantly and a few for actual business communication (you know – not “mom-spam”). In the good old days of snail mail, people sent letters using a decent grade of actual bond paper with a letterhead printed at the top – that was the signature file. Today in our increasingly paperless society, business emails are sent with a signature file at the end to promote the business and its services to every recipient.

“Certified Legal Nurse Consulting Is Recession Proof. I’m Busier Than Ever!” – An Interview with Dale Barnes – Part 1

For the first time in my memory nurses are getting laid off in significant numbers. The deteriorating health of our economy is affecting almost every U.S. job – this includes nursing. But as I am hearing from the registered nurses I’ve trained, a career as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant is a recession-proof choice.
