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?

• What does Warren Buffett say about writing skills?

An LNC who wants to expand her business will very likely get involved in supplying expert witnesses. Kathleen Isenhart, an LNC who currently works primarily with defense attorneys, has extensive experience with the hiring and coaching process.

One of the biggest challenges in this process is finding an expert who is a match for the kind of case involved. These qualifications can vary from state to state, but the hiring LNC in any states needs to find as close a match as possible, not only because it produces a more convincing expert but because the LNC wants to hire someone who won’t be challenged by the opposing attorney.

Kathleen goes into valuable detail about other qualifications for expert witnesses. She looks for someone who speaks well, appears confident, has an impressive CV, and, ideally, has a good amount of experience. She also wants someone whose fee schedule she thinks her attorney will accept.

She also speaks at length about  how Zoom depositions and trials have altered the atmosphere of these proceedings. In general, one finds more informality. A recorded deposition may also capture the behavior of a bullying attorney, an aspect that didn’t get captured in the past.

If you have a practice that includes referring expert witnesses, you will have the opportunity to fine-tune your procedures. If you are considering adding this service, you will learn some invaluable strategies for success in this field.

Join me in this episode of Legal Nurse Podcast to learn about Inhouse LNC Role

• At what point do defense attorneys hire expert witnesses?
• How do you find an appropriate expert?
• Why are expert witness nurses difficult to find?
• What do you look for in an expert witness?
• What impact do “skeletons in the closet” have on expert witnesses?

Have you ever considered working in-house as an LNC in a law firm? Chelsea Harris, who made the shift from clinical nursing to in-housework, provides a detailed description of what this involves.

She is the only in-house LNC in her firm, with three other LNCs working remotely. While she works on her own cases, she also organizes the work done by the other LNCs. She is, in addition, actively involved in trial prep work, finding expert witnesses, and interacting directly with clients. Now that live trials are beginning again, she looks forward to attending some.

Although Chelsea wondered how she would adjust to the huge differences in environment between a clinical setting and a law office, she finds the quiet atmosphere refreshing. She’d worried about the lack of activity and the increased necessity to focus; she has adjusted well. And she doesn’t miss the 12-hour shifts.

For Chelsea, working in-house has many other positive aspects. She likes knowing how each of the attorneys in the firm want their reports to be written. She is also able to, on a weekly basis, make everyone in the firm of the responsibilities she has to accomplish. This means that they can see how their needs fit into her schedule of pre-existing work.

For those who would like to work in an in-house environment, she acknowledges that these situations, being highly desirable, get filled very quickly. She suggests that if you want this kind of work, you need to persist, as she did. And she’s never regretted it.

Join me in this episode of Legal Nurse Podcast to learn about Inhouse LNC Role

• How can you get a position working as an LNC in a law firm?
• What responsibilities are involved in an in-house job in a legal firm?
• What challenges occur in a shift from clinical to in-house LNC work?
• How did the pandemic make finding expert witnesses difficult?
• What are the pros and cons of working in-house?

Beth Zorn is one of the pioneers in the LNC field, having worked as a legal nurse consultant for 35 years. She has extensive experience both as an in-house LNC, both for defense and plaintiff firms. Her information and advice will be invaluable for anyone considering in-house LNC work.

One primary distinction between plaintiff and defense work is that in the defense situation, cases may have been prescreened by the insurance company. In a plaintiff environment, paralegals often do the initial screening work. LNCs will evaluate cases that have some promise.

Beth takes us through the various stages of a case’s evolution, which is similar in both defense and plaintiff situations.

She emphasizes that the atmosphere of a law firm can vary greatly. In general, the size of a firm will determine the degree of mutual support and opportunity for LNCs to learn more about the legal aspects of their work. She feels strongly that in-house work gives LNCs a much greater opportunity to learn than the independent LNC gets.
