"In 2000, while working as a nurse in a post-open heart surgery unit, I learned about Legal Nurse Consulting for the first time from a co-worker. Raising four boys made earning additional income while working from home very appealing, and I completed a Legal Nurse Consulting/Nurse Paralegal Diploma program. Even though I learned a lot during this program, most of what I learned I did not need to function as a Legal Nurse Consultant, and I still felt like I needed more education in the consulting field. Then, my career took me in a different direction, and I left bedside nursing and Legal Nurse Consulting. Years later, I needed a job I could do from home, so restarting my Legal Nurse Consulting business just made sense. In need of a refresher course, I researched several different programs. When I found LNCSTAT, I immediately knew it was the best program for me. It offered everything I felt I lacked in my past legal nurse consulting experience. It also gave me options for additional certifications to make me more marketable for job opportunities and opened me up to different avenues should I choose. One of my top priorities was support. LNCSTAT provides support and answers questions during initial contact, throughout the course, and beyond. It is free, unlimited, and has no expiration date, which my previous program lacked. Veronica and Ryan’s experience and wealth of knowledge have been a valuable part of my experience. Nurses, myself included, are not great marketers. No matter how good we are, we struggle to promote ourselves. As a nurse in the medical device industry, I have learned more about the value of good marketing. I also realized the deficiency of the marketing section in my previous program, which only included commonly used logos, trifold-mass mailing with no support on a website, and other marketing tools etc. LNCSTAT understands the legal nurse consulting business, did its homework on what works and what doesn’t, and is very proficient in its marketing. They teach you what you need about marketing and give step-by-step instructions while supporting and mentoring you as needed. They also take the stress off of creating your logo, marketing materials, and website. Furthermore, you will have all the tools you need for conferences and guidance on exhibiting at a conference. Per request, Ryan was accommodating in finding local attorney events that you can attend to introduce yourself and socialize with attorneys. Report writing and computer skills were my other weaknesses. My previous program taught me to write chronologies, but only one format with no WOW factor and no computer assistance in creating these reports. I loved the fact that LNCSTAT teaches you how to create all different kinds of powerful reports while improving your computer skills at the same time. The practice cases with feedback from Veronica were both fun and very valuable. The program was easy to follow and very much focused on the substance you need to function right out of the gate. LNCSTAT gives you all the tools you need to be successful. Taking this program was the best investment I made for my business and well worth the money. I love the fact that I am part of a network of nurses. Ensure you take advantage of Veronica and Ryan’s knowledge and experience; they have come through for me so many times that I lost count. They are the BEST! Thank you to both Veronica and Ryan! If anyone has any additional questions, please feel free to contact me."
