The Power of Belief – Yes, I Am a Successful CLNC®!
by Angela Jill (A.J.) Dubs, BSN, RN, CLNC
 Wow! I am actually a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant
with my own business. I never dreamed it would come together
as quickly as Vickie predicted in both her CLNC® Home-Study Certification Program and the CCLNC® 6-Day Certification Seminar I attended last fall. Vickie made me promise to continue
reading daily for at least 30 days after the seminar, and
I was faithful. Now I am officially my own boss, and I'm
on the path to success.
Starting at ground zero in November, I began building my business
using the formula Vickie taught:
 |
I put my vision,
core values and mission statement into writing.
|
|
I sought out
an attorney to handle the paperwork for my incorporation
and registered with the proper state, county and city authorities.
|
|
With the help
of a friend, I designed the logo for my stationery
and business cards.
|
|
I set up a functional
business office within my home.
|
|
I developed a marketing package, incorporating all the methods from Vickie's 6-day seminar.
|
I delivered my first set of nine marketing packages early in
the new year and promptly followed up with the attorneys. Although
I was unable to talk with anyone that Friday afternoon, I left
several messages. The next Monday morning, I received a call
from the owner of one firm. I was so excited, and at the same
time nervous. Later that day, I met with the attorney to discuss
his needs and my fees, and to obtain appropriate medical records.
Less than three months after starting my business, my services
had been retained.
This first assignment required many of my new legal nurse consulting skills,
but thanks to Vickie's programs and the multiple resources
they provided, I was ready for the challenges:
|
A letter stating my
opinion on the merits of the case.
|
|
A timeline of the
events of the case and issues involving the four legal elements,
along with deviations from the standards of care.
|
|
A life care plan.
|
My attorney-client complimented my work product, mentioning the cost-effectiveness
and timeliness of my service. Finally, he asked me to send him a
bill for all charges. “If you're like me,” he joked, “when
you do a job, you want to be paid for it.” He then asked me
about meeting with the county attorney concerning a potential
criminal charges on the case and other medical malpractice cases coming up in
the near future. I'm blazing the trail now.
Through all the hard work, I heard our “seminar clan” chanting, “WE ARE SUCCESSFUL CLNC®s." This was a totally empowering experience
for me. Vickie has such a way of motivating you to believe in yourself
and your abilities that YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!
I continue to use my CLNC® Home-Study Certification
Program as a fantastic daily reference. I thank the entire team at
Vickie Milazzo Institute for all their encouragement, knowledge and wisdom. The
CLNC® 6-Day Certification Seminar was just excellent. I appreciate
every staff member's time and effort in quickly responding
to my phone calls and emails.
I feel so lucky to have all the opportunities that are available
through this program. The possibilities are innumerable, and my potential
is infinite. So many attorneys, so little time. I say, “Go
for it; be the best you can be as a CLNC®!”
