   preoprn replied to Larrythenurse's topic in Legal

   Larrythenurse, I have the same small one person consulting business also. I make sure that everything I email or fax has a confidential cover sheet, which is all that was required at the hospital I worked at. My computer has a password and it also ha...

   preoprn replied to SMA4028's topic in Legal

   SMA4028 - Hello! I recently attended the CLNC Conference in Nashville to renew my certification. I did not get the VIP when I first started, just the basic. At the conference I heard many CLNC's state that the VIP is not what it used to be and that i...

   Yes, I am a member of my local AALNC chapter and I agree with you. I had a great time in Nashville.

4. Question for LNCs

   preoprn replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Legal

   I would not consider one night of orientation adequate either. Quite a dilemma. I wish you luck. Let us know how it works out for you.

5. Question for LNCs

   preoprn replied to FLAlleycat's topic in Legal

   Hi FLAlleycat. Personally, I don't think that a supervisor would sign a form admitting a lack of orientation. I know mine wouldn't. She would have a hard time blaming it on the adminstration above her if something were to happen if she were to sign i...

   Hi sirI. I am doing great and I have been very busy. I have been doing disability/workers' comp cases. I am finally starting to feel successful. I feel very fortunate to have started my business, however, I always have that fear in the back of my min...

7. Conference

   preoprn replied to Aviationurse's topic in Legal

   Helllo heavymetalrn. I will be attending the conference in Nashville. Since the homestudy is about 1/3 the cost of the conference, it was a difficult decision. I usually attend the AALNC annual conference but since I was due for renewal and would hav...

8. Out of state marketing letter

   preoprn posted a topic in Legal

   I am about to send out letters to attorneys in a neighboring state. I would like some suggestions on how to get the idea across in my letter that I can still work from my state for them, be it by snail mail or email. I just can't figure out a good wa...

9. Never would hire an LNCC

   preoprn replied to jamesshook2001's topic in Legal

   Interesting point of view. A co-worker of mine and I have been told by 2 attorneys, seperate offices, that they would not use an LNC unless they were certified. They didn't care what certification, just get certified. I am speaking of behind the scen...

    preoprn replied to Claymor's topic in Legal

    Hello Claymor, I have found the Legal Terminology Primer helpful. It is a book that I purchased off of the AALNC Website. The Legal Nurse Consulting Principles and Practice is a great book, also from AALNC.

11. AALNC conference

    preoprn replied to NYPat's topic in Legal

    Hi Pat. I attended last year in Tampa and thought it was a good conference. They have a first time attendee session that was interesting. I am not sure what the RN Market class is but the majority of the LNC's didn't seem to appreciate any other cert...

12. workers comp cases

    preoprn replied to amyrn5's topic in Legal

    I have not attended an IME, they are done already by the time I get the file (so far at least). I do some research, but very limited due to the fee agreement (which the attorney is aware of). I have talked with a few LNC's about the fee situation, i...

13. workers comp cases

    preoprn replied to amyrn5's topic in Legal

    Hello amyrn, I have been doing some Workers' Comp. cases, which are also my first cases. What I have been asked to do is to go through the file that the attorney has received, write up a short report with a summary of my opinions of the file. I was t...

14. Help with disability claim info.

    preoprn replied to preoprn's topic in Legal

    I met with the attorney and he gave me 6 cases! He went through exactly what he wants and gave me examples of what he needs. He knows that I have never done it before and he said we will get through it together. I actually think I can do it! I am so ...

    OK, so it sounds like he would expect these questions and I won't look stupid if I ask them. Thanks again!
