I don’t like the word “hate,” but I’m about to use it… I hate gossip. If you want to be successful as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant, never, and I repeat, never gossip about an attorney or another legal nurse consultant.
Gossip is like petrochemical-based waste products in a landfill. It never goes away. Once it’s out there you can’t take gossip back and the bigger your heap of gossip, the more at risk you and your legal nurse consulting business are.
One new Certified Legal Nurse Consultant shares: “I just completed LegalNurse.com’s CLNC® Certification Program and am working to launch my CLNC business. The last two days at my hospital job were especially hard with RN colleagues complaining, gossiping and lashing out at each other. Vickie, you helped me to focus on myself and what I want in my future. I realize how important each step I take toward my CLNC success is for me, and me alone. Suddenly, the pettiness of others isn’t as important as it used to be.”
People rarely remember the gossip, but they remember the gossiper – and they remember that if you’re willing to “spill the beans” on someone else, you’ll probably do so about them too.
I like to say, “Think before you speak.” Your future CLNC success and happiness depend on it.
