I Gained by Investing in My FutureDonna du Bois, MPH, RNC, CLNC
The program seemed expensive to me, and I decided I didn’t need it. Then out of the blue an attorney’s office called to ask if I would review some cases. His staff had seen my name on a website and realized from my credentials that I had the expertise in long term care that they needed. I didn’t have a clue what to charge, but the legal nurse consultant hiring me was kind enough to tell me what other consultants charged. I realized I loved working on cases, but in order to continue, I needed to know more. I am certain those two cases would have been my last cases with this attorney if I hadn’t taken Vickie’s CLNC® Certification Program. He simply would have stopped using me, and I never would have known why. I purchased the Basic CLNC® Certification Home Study and took Vickie’s valuable advice. I quickly learned the value of contracts. In my excitement at the attorney’s call, I accepted two assignments without a contract. I could have put in hours of hard work and never been paid. Vickie’s course provided sample contracts I could easily modify for my needs. Before taking the course, I knew I had expertise in one nursing field, but Vickie showed me how to apply my expertise to a multitude of different types of cases. I would never have had the confidence to diversify or would have even thought to attempt it without the course. The CLNC® Certification Program is so comprehensive, it’s worth years of college education. I was never too tired to listen to the hours of tapes because Vickie’s presentation makes the information interesting and relevant to my needs. The CLNC® Certification Program gave me all the tools I need to succeed as a legal nurse consultant. The sections on dressing for success, marketing, tax records, health insurance and report writing are worth the cost, not to mention the legal background essential for legal nurse consulting. I have never had a course with more useful information. Nothing is left to chance. I am now confident in my ability to succeed as a full-time, self-employed Certified Legal Nurse Consultant. For now, I prefer to keep my job and consult part time. I plan to retire from nursing home investigation in five years. Thanks to Vickie’s course, I know how to market, and I’ll have a significant client base established by the time I choose to retire. Anyone taking the Basic CLNC® Certification can quickly earn back its cost many times over, even working only a few extra hours a month. I did. I recommend taking the program before you start consulting to avoid making mistakes that could cost you money, clients and your reputation. As my coworkers tried to tell me, the CLNC® Certification Program is an investment in my future, not an expense. I’m so excited about my success I simply couldn’t wait to share my enthusiasm. Donna du Bois, MPH, RNC, CLNC is a full-time nursing home investigator. She is building a solid base of practice working part time with attorneys. She plans to transition into a full-time legal nurse consulting practice. |
