Netflix, TikTok and YouTube Keep Getting Better, But Can You Claim the Same About Your Nursing Career?

In 1982 I started a legal nurse consulting business and then an education company – both at a time when RNs didn’t own businesses. I had to push through other people’s perceptions of what a nurse and a woman could do. It wasn’t easy, but I did it and here I am still standing, the fact which I consider to be my true success. After all, anyone can start a business, but few succeed at it year after year and decade after decade.

Are You as Fired Up About Your Nursing Career Today as When You First Started?

Are You as Fired Up About Your Nursing Career Today as When You First Started?

One thing I know about RNs is that you didn’t get into nursing for the big bucks, the big raises or the big perks (like the cafeteria food, going four hours without a restroom break or the five-minute lunch hour). To do everything that RNs do every day, you have to be wired by passion, by a fire that drives you to make a difference in the lives you hold in your hands. RNs have the strength of fire and passion. But are you as fired up about your nursing career today as when you first started? If not, what are you fired up about?

You’re 5 Promises from a New Nursing Career

You’re 5 Promises from a New Nursing Career

In 1982 I faced the reality that I was unhappy with the direction my nursing career was taking. It wasn’t easy after putting hard work into becoming an RN, earning my bachelor’s degree, my master’s degree and working six years in the hospital, to find I was extremely disappointed by the career choice I had made. I’d gone in wide-eyed, thinking I could make a difference, even improve the state of healthcare, only to bump up against the reality that no matter how hard I worked, my efforts would never make a dent, much less an impact. I was also moving far too slowly toward financial success, and I was forgetting what it was like to have fun.

Is It Time to Invest in You and Your Nursing Expertise?

In the CLNC® Certification Program we teach RNs how to value themselves, so they don’t underprice their expertise with attorneys. But even before you choose to become a legal nurse consultant you will want to put a high value on you and your nursing expertise, or you might find yourself putting off a well-earned investment in yourself. Putting a high value on yourself starts with investing in a legal nurse consulting program that respects your value as a registered nurse.

“What is a legal nurse consultant?”

It’s a question I’ve been asked thousands of times and one that I’m always excited to answer. However, today I’m going to answer it a little differently. I’m not going to tell you, I want to show you.

RNs and Certified Legal Nurse Consultants – Are You Ordering Off the Right Menu?

I talk to thousands of RNs every year who are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the healthcare system. Many of these conversations remind me of a dinner I had with my father at an Italian restaurant. After an animated discussion with the waiter, my dad ordered a pasta dish that wasn’t on the menu, telling the waiter exactly what he wanted in it.

CLNC® Success Story: I Met My Goal for Immediate Certified Legal Nurse Consultant Success

During my career as an ICU nurse, I was always looking for ways to better myself. I took and passed the CCRN exam, but to my dismay I received no recognition for this accomplishment. I tried management and found that I was working more hours and getting paid less than the nurses on my unit. Then something happened that changed my career. I tore a ligament in my hand while restraining a patient. I could no longer lift anything over 25 pounds. I was devastated. My ICU nursing career was over. I spent one and half years on light duty and was told that I had to find a different job or the hospital would settle with me. After months of searching, I landed a job in IT as a clinical analyst.
