To get started as a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant (PLNC) you need NOTHING other than your nursing degree. Wow! Isn’t that great? You already have your PLNC Certification and you can reach out to attorneys who need your Professional Legal Nurse Consultant services. You don’t have to have a lot of money. You don’t even have to know which attorneys to reach out to. You would have learned that in the PLNC Certification Course but it’s contained below. You just need to have a willingness to try. That’s all.
Most Professional Legal Nurse Consultants start in their home territory. That means once you’re PLNC certified, you contact attorneys by email or phone or both in your town, city, county, or municipality. Don’t overthink this. The KEY is just to START.
It’s a matter of numbers. The more attorneys you contact, the greater the likelihood of reaching them. So, here are ways to reach attorneys near you. But, remember, you want to try to find those attorneys who practice in the area of medical malpractice or personal injury. You can expand your areas later.
Three ways to get started as a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant (PLNC):
1. Do an internet search of attorneys in your area. Narrow your search as much as you can. For example, “medical malpractice attorneys in Memphis, TN” or “personal injury lawyers in Memphis, TN”.
2. Contact the local bar association. This means calling or emailing your local bar association which is an association of attorneys in your area. Ask how to reach medical malpractice and personal injury attorneys.
3. Draft an email to send to the attorneys. Be SURE you include your name, your PLNC credentials, phone, and email address. Sounds basic, but you’d be amazed how many emails attorneys get that don’t contain essential contact information. Your email needs to be concise but must state your purpose.
Remember, as a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant, you are listed on the Jurex Expert Directory where attorneys can also find you. But, there’s no substitute for seeking out attorneys in your area and those in the medical malpractice and personal injury field. You want to reach trial attorneys.
