Successful CLNC®s Say
|
"The Institute’s educational programs are the only complete, relevant legal nurse
consulting programs with the knowledge and wisdom from the experts that I can’t
get anywhere else."
Cathy Figueira,
RN, CLNC, Arizona
"Thank you for giving nurses the respect we deserve and the education we need to grow."
Elizabeth Lamorgese,
RN, CLNC, New York
"Thank you for the quality program. I was mildly apprehensive, wondering if I would get my money's worth. You exceeded my hopes and expectations."
Sarah A. Young,
RN, CLNC, Illinois
"I signed up for a college legal nurse consulant program. I soon discovered that it was
preparing me to be a nurse-paralegal instead of providing me with the
knowledge and skills necessary to become a legal nurse consultant. I withdrew and purchased
the Institute’s CLNC® Home-Study Certification
Program. After the first day, there was no doubt in my mind that I had
made the
correct decision. I learned more
pertinent information in a few days than I would have learned in months
at the college program."
Becky Samples,
RN, Kentucky
"Vickie Milazzo Institute has changed my life and given me the opportunity to own my own business. You can be as successful as you want."
Cheryl C. Bockholt,
RN, Texas
"I checked into several paralegal-based programs. Luckily, I saw an ad for Vickie Milazzo Institute's program, which emphasized applying my nursing experience to the field of law. This was a perfect fit for me. As an advocate for RNs, Vickie warns us not to fall into the role of paralegal. Since nursing has given me so much, I strongly agree with her."
Michelle R. Groff,
RN, MSN, PHN, CLNC, California
