In this podcast episode, we explore Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses. Creating chronologies that have multi-purpose functions in a range of cases is one of the services attorneys are most likely to request. Today we have an expert in this area, Mary Beth Kerstein, who will share with you what she’s learned about this important service.
Attorneys lack both the time and medical expertise to prepare a chronology, and it’s not a job that can be handed off to a paralegal. This is where LNCs can prove their value.
Mary Beth addresses a number of practical issues. Since all records don’t arrive at the same time, you need to find a way to indicate new information for the attorney’s benefit. She details how to do this.
The biggest issue is deciding what information is pertinent for a chronology. As this will also determine the length and number of billing hours required, she recommends that you ask the attorney what he or she wants. You can also provide samples of chronologies you’ve done.
She emphasizes that the chronology should be opinion-free. Expert witnesses, opposing attorneys, and other parties may see this. If the attorney wants it, you can provide your opinion about the case in a separate email.
You can also offer to provide additional services, like a list of providers or a medical glossary.
You will find the content of this podcast to be an invaluable resource to help you excel in this highly requested service.
Here’s What to Expect from the Podcast: Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses – Mary Beth Kerstein
- How does an attorney benefit from having an LNC prepare a chronology?
- How do you organize a chronology where multiple providers are involved?
- How do you discern what’s important to put into a chronology?
- Should chronologies be opinion-free?

In this podcast episode, Pat shares how to build your LNC writing skills and succeed. She is a proficient and prolific writer, having written 68 books, with several more on the way. Although she always paid close attention to her own writing skills, it took an angry phone call from a client about an expert witness report by one of her subcontractors to make her realize that accuracy was key to her success.
And it’s key to your own success. Whether you write a report, a blog post, newsletter, or promotional letter, your writing skills need to be the best they can be. They say who you are. They speak to your expertise on all levels. They establish you as a professional.
Pat has noticed as a writing coach to LNCs that a big issue that stops them is lack of self-confidence. One way to overcome this is to realize that it isn’t difficult to learn certain basic principles of writing: simplicity, brevity, and accuracy. These qualities alone will raise your writing to a higher-than-average level, and that will give you greater self-confidence.
This episode will provide a valuable outline to help you develop your writing skills. You’ll want to save it for regular review.
Here’s What to Expect from the Podcast: Build Your LNC Writing Skills: How to Succeed

- 469 Secrets of Legal Nurse Consulting Subcontracting with Karen Taylor by Patricia Iyer MSN RN LNCC
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Email | RSS | https://podcast.legalnursebusiness.com/subscribe-to-podcast/
Karen Taylor, an ICU veteran, decided to open a full-time LNC practice right before the pandemic. She quickly recalibrated, shifting her marketing efforts to online platforms, and she learned to fully utilize LinkedIn’s networking features.
She landed some clients directly but found that she was receiving many more invitations to do subcontracting work. At that point, she realized that marketing wasn’t her niche, and she achieved a mindset that allowed her to shift from marketing directly to attorneys to focusing on subcontracting.
If one word would describe what this mindset is, it would be “receptivity.” Subcontracting has advantages and disadvantages, and someone considering this form of work needs to weigh both aspects. Once having chosen this career, she or he needs to make the most of the opportunities to have a valuable form of supervision and to learn from a more experienced practitioner.
It also means—and this applies to anyone—to saying “yes” to opportunities. Karen says that she may say “yes” to something she doesn’t know how to do. Though she advises caution about straying too far beyond your skillset, if the opportunity seems possible to realize, you can always ask others for advice.
Whether you’re considering becoming a subcontractor or have a busy practice and need to subcontract some of your work, you’ll benefit from learning how a thoroughly professional subcontractor looks at her work.
Join me in this episode of Legal Nurse Podcast to learn about Legal Nurse Consulting Subcontracting
- How can you build an LNC practice even in the midst of a pandemic?
- What role can participating on the LinkedIn platform play in building a practice?
- Why does doing subcontracting work require a mind shift?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of doing subcontracting work?
- What kind of research should someone interested in becoming an LNC do?

I currently live in North Carolina with my husband and have the privilege of working from my home office. I have 27 years in healthcare. First as a Respiratory Therapist and then 13 years as an ICU nurse. I found the field of Legal Nurse Consulting by accident after I was asked to assist the hospital attorney review a few medical records. I was attracted by the forensic nature of LNC work. I get to share my insight and experience with attorneys and do a lot of teaching, which I enjoy. I’ve learned quickly that there are many different avenues and tracts you can take as a Legal Nurse Consultant. I’m eager to continuing learning.

Jane Shufro never planned to become an LNC, but when she got an unexpected phone call asking her to review a case, she recognized the opportunity and has never regretted taking it.
During the 11 years since she first entered this field, she has learned a lot, and this podcast provides information that can help the new LNC develop their skills and give the seasoned practitioners the opportunity to review their work.
In terms of practical, foundational abilities, Jane emphasizes good grammar and writing skills, familiarity with computers, and the ability to network.
Some of what she’s learned, though, is more subtle. In terms of gaining and keeping attorney clients, you need excellent listening skills. Attorneys lead stressful lives, and if you’re there to listen to them vent (obviously within reason), they will value you and return with more cases.

My experience and training produces organized records with less time and expense, finding important missing records, and discovering pertinent facts that support or weaken your case that could be missed by the untrained eye. I’ll provide you with facts connecting medicine to the law you can rely on and the resources you need to evaluate your case and provide an expert opinion when needed.

In this podcast episode, we explore Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses. Creating chronologies that have multi-purpose functions in a range of cases is one of the services attorneys are most likely to request. Today we have an expert in this area, Mary Beth Kerstein, who will share with you what she’s learned about this important service.
Attorneys lack both the time and medical expertise to prepare a chronology, and it’s not a job that can be handed off to a paralegal. This is where LNCs can prove their value.
Mary Beth addresses a number of practical issues. Since all records don’t arrive at the same time, you need to find a way to indicate new information for the attorney’s benefit. She details how to do this.
The biggest issue is deciding what information is pertinent for a chronology. As this will also determine the length and number of billing hours required, she recommends that you ask the attorney what he or she wants. You can also provide samples of chronologies you’ve done.
She emphasizes that the chronology should be opinion-free. Expert witnesses, opposing attorneys, and other parties may see this. If the attorney wants it, you can provide your opinion about the case in a separate email.
You can also offer to provide additional services, like a list of providers or a medical glossary.
You will find the content of this podcast to be an invaluable resource to help you excel in this highly requested service.
Here’s What to Expect from the Podcast: Crafting Effective Chronologies for Legal Nurses – Mary Beth Kerstein
- How does an attorney benefit from having an LNC prepare a chronology?
- How do you organize a chronology where multiple providers are involved?
- How do you discern what’s important to put into a chronology?
- Should chronologies be opinion-free?
- What are invisible injuries?

In this podcast episode, Pat shares how to build your LNC writing skills and succeed. She is a proficient and prolific writer, having written 68 books, with several more on the way. Although she always paid close attention to her own writing skills, it took an angry phone call from a client about an expert witness report by one of her subcontractors to make her realize that accuracy was key to her success.
And it’s key to your own success. Whether you write a report, a blog post, newsletter, or promotional letter, your writing skills need to be the best they can be. They say who you are. They speak to your expertise on all levels. They establish you as a professional.
Pat has noticed as a writing coach to LNCs that a big issue that stops them is lack of self-confidence. One way to overcome this is to realize that it isn’t difficult to learn certain basic principles of writing: simplicity, brevity, and accuracy. These qualities alone will raise your writing to a higher-than-average level, and that will give you greater self-confidence.
This episode will provide a valuable outline to help you develop your writing skills. You’ll want to save it for regular review.
Here’s What to Expect from the Podcast: Build Your LNC Writing Skills: How to Succeed
- How important are writing skills to an LNC?
- How can correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling affect an attorney’s opinion of your skills?
- What are some of the promotional writing methods an LNC uses?
- Why is improving your self-confidence as a writer so important?
- What does Warren Buffett say about writing skills?

Pat Iyer, host of this podcast and LNC Business owner, usually recommends that legal nurse consultants allow 3-5 years to develop a full-time practice. She is delighted to showcase an exception to that flexible rule. Ashley Moreau began her LNC Business practice in 2020, four months after the pandemic began. Prior to that time, she’d been working in a nursing home. Although she loved working there, the rigid schedules and greatly worsening conditions caused by COVID restrictions and staff shortages, accelerated her decision to become an independent LNC.
She planned carefully before leaving her job, saving as much money as she could, and determining how she would publicize and promote her fledgling business. She has made great use of LinkedIn, both to make connections and to meet potential subcontractors. In addition, she has worked with local organizations in Louisiana.
Ashley is a strong advocate of using subcontractors, saying that being able to provide this service to an attorney helps to encourage them to call on you again and again. She acknowledges that it’s crucial to provide quality control for subcontractors’ reports. She won’t allow any report that isn’t up to standard go out with her name on it.
She believes in doing some marketing every day. That’s part of having a business.
If you are a beginning LNC or considering establishing a practice, this podcast can inspire you to take the leap and make the full commitment to your business.

Your Presenter How to Rapidly Build LNC Business – Ashley Moreau
I’ve been a nurse for 15 years. Most of my experience is in Long Term Care (Nursing Homes). What drives me today is the same thing that drove me to make my career choice, and that is to help people. I’ve always wanted to be a nurse. Working with and advocating for residents in nursing homes is so fulfilling. I can help those with very little voice, the most vulnerable population, in having a better quality of life.
