Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Legal Nurse Consultants Get Colds – Droids Get Viruses

CLNC® consultants know how colds are spread, and thanks to my Tuesday Tech Tips, know that there are more germs on your smart phone than on a toilet seat. But did you know that no matter how clean you keep your legal nurse consulting smartphone, it can still spread viruses? I’m really talking about malware. One of the newest areas of computer insecurity is the smartphone because the miscreants who write malware and Trojan horses are now targeting the growing smartphone market. Phones running on the Android® platform are more susceptible than iPhones®. If you think of the amount of data related to your CLNC® business and your personal life that’s stored on your phone, not to mention passwords for your Facebook and other apps, you should be very afraid of having that data compromised. If you’re using your phone for mobile banking or other micropayments, you definitely need to read this entire Tech Tip.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: More Lost Phone Options for Certified Legal Nurse Consultants

Last month I gave you some low-tech tips for finding a lost cell phone. Today I’ll fill you in on some high-tech ways to find a phone that’s gone walkabout. Interestingly, they all have similar names, beginning with “Where’s my….” which is a tip-off to what they do. Remember the biggest danger of losing a phone is having some miscreant gain access to all your email, contacts, calendar, racy photos, Facebook, etc.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Is Someone Minding Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business?

Some time ago I blogged about privacy concerns for legal nurse consultants and using a frameless privacy filter on your CLNC® business’s laptop screen. A privacy filter keeps people (like your spouse or some other nefarious villian) from looking over your shoulder while you’re working (or not) and seeing what you’re working on (or not). I spend a lot of time on airplanes and am amazed at the things I see on people’s computer screens, things that make me blush!

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: iPhone®, Blackberry® or Droid®? What’s the Best Smart Phone for a Legal Nurse Consultant?

Time for another CLNC sound off! Not having learned my lesson from last week, once more into the unknown I go, my CLNC amigos. Vickie and I have been Blackberry users for so long I can hardly remember a time without omnipresent email, calendar and contacts. So, it’s with a certain amount of fear and trepidation that I bring up the fact that we’ve outgrown our current Blackberries and are looking for the next best thing.
