How can a nurse most smoothly make the transition from clinical work to working as an LNC? Abigail Rogers presents the unique perspective of someone who’s currently engaged in that process.
She works as a neonatal nurse and is also getting her master’s degree in nursing. Her academic advisor told her that her intensive care unit background would serve her well if she chose to go into legal nurse consulting. This possibility appealed to Abby, and she began thoroughly researching the field.
Abigail’s research process could serve as a blueprint for those wondering how they can learn more about being an LNC. She explored AALNC and made direct contact with LNC in her area. People were very helpful, and she learned how diverse a field legal nurse consulting can be.
She also got in touch with the Small Business Association and got a mentor, who has helped her immensely with important issues like having a business plan, branding, a good business name, and much more. As a result, by the time Abby is ready to open her practice, she will have all the practical foundational pieces together.
In addition, Abigail found resourceful family members, one of whom made the vital point that what she will be marketing is her values. This represents a shift from “What I Do” to “Who I Am.” Abby plans to incorporate this into her marketing copy—and more importantly, to her initial and further dealings with attorneys.
If you are considering or engaged in the transition to opening an LNC practice, you will find this podcast invaluable.
