Pros and Cons of the Vickie Milazzo Program

It will likely take more than 6 months to get any work - after you get through the course. I would not depend on LNC work to make money while you are recuperating.

Hello, Journeywoman, and Welcome to allnurses.com

Good to have you with us.

I moved your post to its own thread for you are asking specific questions about the Milazzo program.

Yes, Vickie is a very dynamic woman and speaker. I agree.

I am sorry to hear about your injury and subsequent rehab. That has to be very frustrating for you.

What you need to do is seriously consider why you are choosing Legal Nurse Consulting as a career. Is it because you are injured and requiring months of rehabilitation and desiring something where you can make some quick money? If so, as RN1989 stated, that's probably not the best reason to choose LNC.

I will not lie to you, the career path can be very frustrating and difficult. After you receive the education, whether with Milazzo or other avenue(s), you will have to take some time and gear up your business, if independent. Then, start marketing to attorney-clients. You may or may not get business at first. Realistically, unless you already have clients ready and willing to give you cases, you will probably spend weeks to months getting your first case.

Seriously take some time and weigh the pros and cons of the career path. Speak with real-life LNCs, if you can. And, ask of us anything you wish. We are here to assist you.

If you have always been drawn to this career, then go for it now. Yes, you can be successful, but as I said, it takes a lot of hard work to do so.

Don't want to discourage you at all. Just trying to be honest and paint a picture of realism for you.

Again, if you have other specific questions, please do not hesitate to ask. And, check out the sticky threads (found at the top of this forum) about different educative avenues for the LNC.

Good luck with your decisions and may your rehabilitation be uneventful.

JOURNEYWOMAN, i pray for your speedy recovery and strength.and sorry about your accident..

I hope this all resolves nicely for you. Good luck.

Hi JW!

Welcome!! So sorry to hear re: your injury and ongoing surgeries. These things can certainly give us time to reflect on what course we really would prefer our life to proceed on. Prayers for a speedy recovery!

There are definitely other options to the Vickie M. course out there. I chose the LNC Stat home study course. It fit me best, both financially (allows me more funds for marketing and other start-up costs) and how the course was designed. I just completed it, and am finalizing my marketing package. So far I have found everyone there to be very supportive and timely. Though it is based in Fla., and the last couple of weeks things seemed a bit more hectic in their office than prior - hurricane preparations were reportedly influencing daily activities, so who can blame them!

Your previous business experiences should help you out - at least that is what I am finding. Many nurses do not have business exposure/background, and it can certainly be overwhelming. My business experience was limited, but has proven useful.

Best wishes in whatever you decide!!
