I Earned $138,000.00 in Less Than 18 months as a CLNC^®

For ten years I was a nurse manager with a corporation to which I was dedicated. Then upper management changed, and the atmosphere became unbearable. My family and friends urged me to get out, but fear of change paralyzed me. My best friend had attended Vickie Milazzo's CLNC^® 6-Day Certification Seminar, and she knew legal nurse consulting would fit me like a glove. For a year she urged me to attend – still I was too afraid to make the change.

In my position as nurse manager, I worked with the legal department regularly. I finally decided that knowing something about legal nurse consulting would benefit me in my current career, and I signed up for the 6-Day Seminar.

Vickie Opened a New Window for Me

Then without warning, I received an offer I could not refuse – resign or be terminated. In 28 years as a registered nurse, I had never experienced such a devastating blow. My heart hurt, my pride was wounded and my self-confidence all but died. I felt like I was crawling on the floor, struggling to find the strength to climb out a window. My salvation was that I had already registered for the CLNC^® 6-Day Certification Seminar.

At the seminar one of the first things out of Vickie's mouth was, "We are nurses and we can do anything!^®" How refreshing to hear that I was capable of doing anything. Vickie's enthusiasm was uplifting and contagious. Best of all, she was sincere. She had succeeded as a nurse and as a legal nurse consultant herself and had mentored many other nurses to CLNC^® success.

In addition to Vickie's assurance that I could do it, I heard from other nurses who had met the challenge, succeeded and were willing to help me succeed. The CLNC^® Certification Program was excellent and was presented in a way that kept me interested and even entertained. I had fun. I became determined to show Vickie and especially myself that I could be a successful Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. Sure enough, a new window was opened for me.

Vickie's Action Steps Are the Key to Freedom, Flexibility and Success

How did I do it? I went home, and every day I took one of Vickie's action steps toward my new career as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. Before long I had a cover letter, brochure, CV and work product ready for mailing. I mailed my information packets and within a week I began calling for appointments. I bucked up my courage to keep knocking on those doors, because I was convinced I had knowledge and experience that could benefit the attorneys.

Several of those initial contacts eventually became clients. One attorney called me back after receiving my packet and said, "I need help. I'm drowning!" Just four months after I became a CLNC^®, I received my first four cases from him and made a good friend in the process. In my first year as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant I made more than $68,000.00 from eight very respectable clients. In the next six months. I made another $70,000.00 from my new and established business clients.

Best of all I have the flexibility to spend more time with my husband (and business manager), my children and my hobbies. The freedom that being a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant affords is unsurpassed. I offer my sincere thanks to Vickie and all the dedicated staff at Vickie Milazzo Institute for helping me become a successful CLNC^®. I am a nurse and I can do anything!
