Re: Any Opinion on RN Markets LNC Stat Course
Hi all!
Siri..it's been too long. We must talk again and soon! I'll contact you some time this coming week.
As for the RN Market course, I took the home study version. It has some good, solid information in it and does give you a good overview of the profession. It also gives you a basic understanding of what LNC's do, how they do it, marketing, etc. The basic information is going to be the same no matter what course you finally decide to take (VMI/RN Market/Kaplan/AALNC online program, etc.). The difference is (1) price, and (2) customer support (especially after the course). VMI is one of the oldest organizations and has a vast network and some great support services. Some are free, some cost extra. RN Market gives support also, has a smaller network (by virtue of being newer in the field) and also offers other support services (again some free, some for fee). Would I recommend it based on my expericnce? Yes. Would I recommend it over any of the others? No. That has to be YOUR choice.
As for Veronica's self published books, I have read a couple of them also. While there is a lot of self hype in them (she tells you what she did and how her company can help you), they DO offer some good information and advice. And I must say, if you're self publishing a book about your profession, and you offer a program for others to learn more about that profession, it only makes sense to make the pitch. It's just one more way to market your services. To lambast someone for that, IMHO, is wrong. Be jealous if you want, of her moxy to take the initiative to write and publish what she has, but don't put her down for it. Do they contain hype for her services? Yes. Are they only meant as that? No. They DO offer some good information about the profession and some ideas on how to approach the business portion of it. As with ANYTHING you read, you must not blindly follow ANYONE. Instead, take the self initiative to do your homework and "due dilligence" about each program AND the profession as a whole.
If you want to know more about RN Market and their program, or anything else with the profession, I'd be happy to discuss it with you privately......feel free to PM me thru here.
