Social Media and the Feel-Good Addiction for Legal Nurse Consultants

We all love social media. For example, I use Facebook to communicate to all Certified Legal Nurse Consultants and aspiring CLNC consultants. I love reading details of your lives and seeing the fun photos you post. One Certified Legal Nurse Consultant told me that what she loves most about Facebook is that she never has to worry about keeping up with her friends’ email addresses – because their Facebook address never changes. If she’s on Facebook, she’s always in touch with them. This is really a radical form of communication and allows connection with more and more people, including attorneys, who are joining Facebook every day.

Social Media and Subcontracting for Certified Legal Nurse Consultants

Recently a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant contacted the Institute and told us about a subcontractor she’d hired. After completing the project, the subcontractor proceeded to list herself on several different social media sites as being associated with the contracting CLNC consultant. The subcontractor then used the contracting CLNC consultant’s “LinkedIn” profile and network to contact other parties announcing her association with the contracting CLNC consultant and marketing her availability to subcontract.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Certified Legal Nurse Consultants Refresh Yourselves with Social Media and Firefox

Every CLNC consultant using social media to market your Certified Legal Nurse Consulting business, raise your left hand (keeping your right hand on your mouse). That’s terrific! I know a lot of you participate and interact regularly with Vickie on Facebook and Twitter. I also know that Facebook and Twitter can be semi-frustrating if you’re using them directly through a web browser instead of an application like TweetDeck or HootSuite. Why frustrating? Because you need to refresh the page on a regular basis to see the updates.

Legal Nurse Consultants Aren’t Searching for Godot (Anymore)

Locating testifying experts for attorneys can add a huge amount of revenue to your legal nurse consulting business. As part of the screening process, Certified Legal Nurse Consultants research the background of the potential expert witness candidates. Most people just get on the web and start Googling or binging away with variations of the name of the unsuspecting searchee. Some will go to social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn to see what can be learned about the search subject.
