About the Founder

Nurse, Lawyer, and Nationally Acclaimed Speaker.

Becoming a Registered Nurse, Masters-prepared nurse, and attorney

Seeing those initials after my name is something I never would have imagined as a 15-year-old picking up the pieces after my mother passed away. My Mom was in a car accident one week before my oldest sister’s wedding. The rest, shall we say, is history, but not just any old story.

The community hospital where my Mom was taken was near our house. I rode my bicycle to see her whenever I couldn’t get a ride from my father or grandmother as my next oldest sister had to go back to college.

But what I remember the most clearly was how the nurses were so helpful to all of us. That, my friends, made a lasting impression upon this young, naïve, teenage girl. Me.

I became a Registered Nurse. I went to the same university as my oldest sister, Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, TN where I got my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. After graduation, I worked in pediatric nursing and then psychiatric-mental health nursing. I completed my Master of Science in Nursing at Vanderbilt and then I taught pediatric nursing at Vanderbilt. It was then that I became interested in all things “legal”.

I applied and was accepted to Vanderbilt University Law School where I met and married my husband, David. Thing is, he was a year ahead of me in school at Vanderbilt Law School, and he was going to work in his hometown of Memphis, TN. I secured a job at a law firm in Memphis, and after graduation I started handling medical malpractice cases and began paying off my student loan debt.

The more medical malpractice cases I litigated, the more I saw a tremendous need for carefully prepared nurses to serve as nurse expert witnesses in cases. The nurse expert witness, also known as a legal nurse consultant, had beautiful nursing skills but needed to be properly trained in the law. This was the birth of JurexNurse.com.

National speaker on legal issues in nursing

Years before I started JurexNurse.com, I provided my first presentation at the National Student Nurses Association conference on legal issues in nursing practice. Little did I know then that I would go on to provide over 2,000 presentations to date on legal issues in nursing and how to reduce nurses’ liability exposure.

After one of my early presentations, a nurse came up to me and she said, “I want to be a legal nurse consultant and I want you to teach me how”. I was honored. What she was saying is that she wanted to invest in herself, grow her nursing skills, and give herself a promotion. That’s the exact point in time when I went to work creating the Professional Legal Nurse Consultant (PLNC) Certification you know today.

The PLNC Certification is steeped in both my nursing and legal experience. It started as a live course, then as it became increasingly in demand, it was additionally offered as a video or audio course. Now it’s completely online so all nurses can have the opportunity to get certified. It’s become the go-to certification for legal nurse consultants.

I’ve authored publications, I’ve been interviewed on TV, but the thing that gives me the most pleasure in business is helping nurses, like you, achieve your dreams. It lights me up. I truly believe that doing something for others never gets old.

The PLNC Certification course could’ve cost a whole lot more money and stretch out over more days, but that would defeat my purpose. My purpose in creating JurexNurse.com has always been to: Properly train and certify you to be a legal nurse consultant so you can use your skills to earn more, help more people, and be empowered.
