Vickie’s Favorite Quotes: My Dad, Sal Milazzo
Everyone loved my dad and that’s probably because he loved people so much. It was very unusual to hear him say anything negative about a person – even a person who didn’t do right by him. He would always laugh and say, “I’m a lover, not a fighter.”

Thoughts for Success: No Legal Nurse Consultant Arrives Where We Are Completely on Our Own
The best business advice I received when I started my legal nurse consulting business came from an unlikely source – my CPA. Fran, owner of an accounting firm, spoke from experience when she said, “Vickie, as a business owner you will encounter challenges and problems that you won’t know how to handle. Remember, though, there’s always someone who has already solved that very problem. Turn to them when you need help and you will be more successful than you can ever imagine.”

Thoughts for Success: It’s the Questions, Not the Answers that Count

Thoughts for Success: If Business Was Easy, Everybody Would Be Doing It
Business is hard and I’m glad it is. Even after 32 years in business things don’t always go as planned at LegalNurse.com. Like all Certified Legal Nurse Consultants, we have days when the train comes off the track. And when it does, my staff is likely to hear me say, “If business was easy, everybody would be doing it.” That single phrase reminds me (and them) that there’s a reason no one else does what we do and no one does it the way we do it. After a laugh together we buckle down and work on getting the train back on the track.
Vickie’s Favorite Quotes: Marcel Proust
