One of the most important questions for an LNC is: “How do I start/build my practice?” Valerie Lane, who has been a LNC since 2007, describes the step-by-step process that has built her successful career.

Her career path began with being a flight attendant. After careful research and consideration, she moved on to nursing. Following a career in the California Department of Corrections, she took a job as an LNC for a healthcare company. While in that position, she build her private LNC business.

She emphasizes, with many personal examples, the importance of networking in making the most productive connections. Valerie also stresses the necessity of being involved in a social network as a legal nurse consultant, stating that it is crucial for LNCs to have the ability to seek advice and help from each other.

In addition, she describes how she has benefitted from partnering with a mentor in a mastermind program. This has enabled her to have ready access to advice and guidance. In addition, it’s enabled her to develop her confidence in her ability to reach out to attorneys.
