Legal Nurse Consultants Need Business Cards
No matter whether you are a new or existing Professional Legal Nurse Consultant, you could benefit from a business card. Not just any business card, but a well-designed one. What makes your business card stand out from the others?
1. The format on the front side of the card. The number one problem with business cards is there's too much stuff on them. Keep it clean and simple. But, by all means, use color. Black and white business cards are a thing of the past. Just concentrate on not putting too much clutter on the front.
2. Your contact info is key. List your name with credentials and company name, all telephone numbers where you can be reached, address but you may want to only list your city and state for identify theft concerns, email address and website address if you have one. Company logo is optional, but you might want some kind of subtitle to let the reader know the type of company.
3. Use the reverse side of the card. Attorneys are more likely to keep your business card if you put something on the back that's noteworthy. How about a bulleted list of your nurse expert witness services? Give the card reader a reason to keep your card.
Readers usually expect your business card to be horizontal. While the vertical format is interesting, stick with the norm on this one.

Easy Ways To Locate Other Medical Expert Witnesses
You're reviewing the medical records in a case as a Professional Legal Nurse Consultant (PLNC) and your attorney asks if you know if a physician expert witness. How do you find a physician expert witness? Simple - go to www.jurexdoctor.com. Here are some things to consider:
Get paid for your referral. Remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you provide the name of a physician who serves as a medical expert witness, you should be paid a referral fee.
What is the amount of your referral fee? Depends upon the market, but you're generally looking anywhere from $250 - $1000. The case could not go forward without the medical expert witness, so what you bring to the table is absolutely essential.
When do you get paid? You should seek your referral fee as soon as possible. Send an invoice for the amount of the referral fee to the attorney. Attorneys are used to paying for this service. Your referral fee should not be contingent upon the ultimate outcome in the case. Remember your ethics and it should serve you in good stead.
Providing other medical expert witnesses is another service you, as a PLNC, can provide. This could be a valuable source of income for you and win-win for both you and the attorney.
