Vickie’s Favorite Quotes: Oscar Wilde

Seasoned Certified Legal Nurse Consultants are smart enough to know what they don’t know and to know when to ask for help. My father (not a CLNC consultant) was a perfect example of this principle. He studied every project and hobby he took on, whether it was building a bookcase or playing golf. He knew what he didn’t know and was smarter because of it. He was a student for life up into his 80’s when he finally gave in and announced, “Vickie, I’m too busy. Stop buying me books.”

4 Essential Paragraphs to Make Your Legal Nurse Letters of Introduction Stand Out to Attorneys

As a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant you will have many opportunities to introduce yourself to attorney-prospects through letters of introduction.

Tom’s Tech Tip: One Office Alternative for Certified Legal Nurse Consultants

Full disclosure, the word “Office” in the title means “Microsoft Office” not a tree house, tea house or any place you can sit and do your legal nurse consulting work. And alternative means free or at least less expensive. For years MS Office has been the gold standard, or at least the only standard for word processing for legal nurse consultants. Word’s reach is so pervasive that many Apple users were forced to pick up “Office for Mac” and Microsoft is extending further into mobile by upgrading its Office apps for iPads.

Terminally Ill RN Redefines Labor Day for Certified Legal Nurse Consultants

Today is Labor Day and for most of us it’s a day off to picnic with our family, rest by the pool or do something else fun. For me it’s also about remembering a terminally ill registered nurse who attended the CLNC Certification Seminar several years ago.

I don’t believe that, as of today, a tablet can fully replace what, for purposes of this Tech Tip, I’ll call an “actual computer.” But experimentation and experience is showing that Microsoft’s Surface tablet is coming pretty close.

Tom’s Tech Tip: Put Windows “Previous Versions” to Work for Your Legal Nurse Consulting Business

Like most Certified Legal Nurse Consultants, when typing a new document I’ll use an earlier version of a similar document as a template. As a best practice, I immediately retitle the old document with the new document name and save that new document with its new name. By doing so, I don’t accidently overwrite the old document. Sound confusing? It’s not. And, as long as you do it religiously, it works great and any reasonably disciplined CLNC consultant can, and should, do it.

Vickie’s Favorite Quotes: Edmund Burke

Sometimes a project can seem overwhelming. You don’t know where to start or which foot to put forward first. You’re stumped, scared and going nowhere. For 33 years in my legal nurse consulting business I’ve too often made the mistake of worrying about how little I could do towards a daunting project and letting that concern stop me in my tracks.
