"Thousands
of RNs have made their dream of owning their own business and earning
more money come true. You can do the same for yourself. First, give
yourself permission to figure out what your career dream is, find
out what it's going to take to do it and then put your heart and mind
into making it happen. As nurses, most of us have brought patients
back to life. We heal sick patients and handle emergencies smoothly.
Always remember, we're nurses. We can do anything! Put your career
dreams into action and experience the magical results!"
– Vickie L. Milazzo, RN, MSN, JD as quoted on

"Put nursing, law and business together and what do you get? The exciting field
of legal nurse consulting! The field has grown more prominent in the
last 10 to 15 years as more nurses have gone into full-time private
practice and demand for their services has risen."
– Minority Nurse
"To be a legal nurse consultant, takes...commitment, persistence and perseverance.
There is no magic to being an entrepreneur. It’s not about what
someone’s IQ is or how many degrees you have behind your name.
It’s about getting in there and working at it."
– Vickie L. Milazzo, RN, MSN, JD
as quoted in Employment Review
"Legal nurse consultants who have earned an RN will charge anywhere from
$75 to $150, depending on the consultant and their experience. Compared
to what physicians usually charge – often $400 an hour –
nurse consultants have become a cost-effective solution to getting
cases analyzed prior to trial. Of the approximately 900,000 attorneys
in practice today, 25 percent deal with medical malpractice and personal
injury cases. Sheer numbers indicate the growing need for specialized
legal nurse consultants."
– Houston Chronicle
"The ones who make their career dreams come true are the nurses who put action
to their dreams. A vision without action is nothing more than a hallucination."
– Vickie L. Milazzo, RN, MSN, JD
as quoted in Women’s Enterprise
"From the most basic medical terminology to the hottest new treatments and procedures, most lawyers are simply in the dark. A legal nurse consultant with even a few years of on-the-job nursing experience can shed a tremendous amount of light on the medical-related cases, making the attorney's life easier and creating a steady demand for LNC services."

"The increasing number of lawsuits related to injury and health care has fueled demand for such consultants to help lawyers interpret most
anything from medical charts to health insurance claims. And more nurses, unhappy with their profession under managed care, are looking to make a career change....legal nurse consultants earn $60-$150 an hour compared with $18 an hour for a typical paralegal."
– The New York Times
"The rise in medical-related lawsuits is prompting many nurses in all practice areas to head down a different career path – legal nurse consulting. Legal nurse consulting also offers an option to nurses who are no longer able to practice traditional nursing."
– Houston Business Journal
"On average, a nurse working at a hospital makes $40,000 annually, according to the American Nursing Association, while legal nurse consultants can make $200,000 a year or more if they consult full time. Legal nurse consultants who subcontract work to researchers and experts can make even more – $400,000 a year for an established nurse consulting firm is not unheard-of."
– Los Angeles Daily Journal
"I've known independent consultants who have earned $60,000 per year, and met quite a few legal nurse consultants who have earned in the six figures and one or two in the seven-figure range. Legal nurse consultants enjoy the independence and autonomy that come from working as a consultant and owning a business."
– Vickie L. Milazzo, RN, MSN, JD
as quoted in NurseWeek
"I think the best thing we can do for our profession is to believe in ourselves and in each other. Whatever career path a nurse chooses, to me, it should be for the right reason – coming from a place of passion. You do it because it's something you really believe in and not because you're tired of working weekends or holidays, or you're burned out."
– Vickie L. Milazzo, RN, MSN, JD
as quoted in Sigma Theta Tau's Reflections on Nursing Leadership
"Vickie Milazzo crossed nursing with the law
and created a new profession. Now she trains scores of legal nurse
consultants."
– The New York Times
"Legal nurse consulting is a lucrative way to use your nursing education and expertise while enjoying true career satisfaction. Don't let fear stop you from making a career move....avoid giving fear your power – imagine yourself as the hospital's waiter and housekeeper at age 65, and you'll stop the fear process in its racks."
