RN Call Back is a model for an innovative LNC service that can give you a steady income. Gyalia Rutledge, a highly experienced clinical nurse and legal nurse consultant, got the idea for it when in response to an attorney’s calling her about the viability of a case, asked him questions he couldn’t answer. She asked if she could speak directly to the potential client, and he agreed..

RN Call Back was born. Gyalia currently handles 30 to 60 call backs a month from one firm with several attorneys. For those she finds viable, the attorney usually gives her the case for further work.

By speaking directly with the potential client and asking pertinent questions about their general health, what happened in the medical setting, and other questions, Gyalia can make a preliminary determination about the case. This screening saves attorneys time and money and greatly reduces the cost of ordering medical records.

Those people whose cases aren’t found appropriate are often able to gain a sense of closure that their loved ones’ death wasn’t caused by medical error.

Gyalia recommends that only LNCs with some experience explore this form of work. They should have a good grounding in legal malpractice principles as well as being thoroughly grounded in nursing practice.

If you’re looking for a way to steadily maintain and increase your LNC income, be sure to listen to or read this podcast. It may open a new and lucrative door for you.
