You want to stay current, as well as ahead of the curve, in your nursing practice and your professional legal nurse consulting practice. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through education.

We reflect today to think of the men and women who have given of themselves this Memorial Day. As it has been said “all gave some, some gave all”. We, as Professional Legal Nurse Consultants (PLNC) can apply this lesson in our practice. When you truly give of yourself, give a project your “all”, you can reap the benefits.
Apply these two aspects of giving:
1. The more you give, the more you receive: The act of giving provides a feeling of not only satisfaction, but of contentment. In your PLNC practice, when you know you did a thorough job of reviewing the medical records, you know you gave your client the best assistance you could provide. This is a warm, fuzzy feeling.
2. Make another life happy: Not matter what your opinion may be of the facts after reviewing the medical record, you will have enhanced the life of the other individual. Whether it is is to persevere or defend more rigorously, your opinion matters.
You matter. Your review of the medical records matters. Your opinion matters. As a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant, you affect the lives of others. Remember that as you reflect on the meaning of life.

There are nurses and then there are nurses. Same for Professional Legal Nurse Consultants. You want to be extraordinary. You want to excel to the highest possible degree in your Professional Legal Nurse Consultant (PLNC) profession.
How do you become the best PLNC possible?
1. Think outside the box. This means, you need to give the best possible Professional Legal Nurse Consultant services you can give. Provide lots of different services. For example, organize the medical record, tab documents that are particularly meaningful, cite to the pertinent entries in your report.
2. Meet or exceed the deadline. Get your report, or whatever you are supposed to complete, on time. Better yet, be early.
3. Ask how you else you can help the attorney. Maybe you can help prepare him/her for a deposition by coming up with questions that are on point. Maybe it is helping to locate a certain type of expert.
Use your beautiful skills to your advantage. Then, you will be able to soar to great heights and be handsomely rewarded for it.

True Story: When we were ten years old, my close friend Kathy and I rode our bicycles to a nursing home about six miles from our homes each Saturday for a long time. It was out of a feeling of wanting to bring happiness to others that it all started. We decided we could help entertain the residents there. Since Kathy and I both played the piano, we brought our keyboarding skills to the old upright piano in the residents’ dining hall. This evolved into helping deliver lunch trays and then feeding those who could not feed themselves.
Over the next few years, Kathy and I brought delight to the residents. It felt so good inside that I could contribute to others’ happiness. When Kathy decided to no longer participate, I continued to ride my bike there, play the piano and help feed the residents I had come to know for the genuine individuals they were.
From there, I went on to nursing school, graduate school and law school all the while working as a nurse.
Looking back, I see what a tremendous impact volunteering at the nursing home had on my life and my decision to become a nurse and an attorney. I still remember one of the bedridden residents singing a gospel song and it brings a smile to my face.

You want to enrich your life. You want to fulfill your desires and dreams. You are a nurse. You went to nursing school and perhaps now you have become a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant. You work (or have worked) as a nurse. But, you want to round-out your work and life balance. How?
There a number of ways to do this:
First, write down everything you can think of in three minutes or less that you want to do with your life. Nothing is too small or too big. For example, is it travelling to a foreign country, taking an online course, learning a new skills? Write it down.
Next, prioritize your list. Of all the items you jotted down, which will bring you the most pleasure? As a nurse, you spend a lot of your day, or night, helping others. Which of these items will most help you?
Finally, armed with your list, you must implement at least the first item in order to obtain a sense of accomplishment. Once you master the first item, you can move on to the next and so forth.
Being fulfilled requires having a life plan. Even a short list qualifies as a life plan. Now follow through. You can do it!
