MYTH BUSTING #1: What’s Being Said in Legal Nurse Facebook Groups 👇
MYTH BUSTING: What’s Being Said in Nurse Facebook Groups 👇
A nurse shared that she billed $12,000 for behind-the-scenes work on a case.
The response from one nurse?
“I consult with many attorneys… I know what they approve.”
Let’s pause there, because comments like need to be addressed.
What that statement is really implying is that the nurse who shared her experience must be exaggerating or not telling the truth… and that this commenter somehow knows what attorneys across the legal industry will or will not pay for.
And that is simply not accurate.
You may know what some attorneys approve, you may know what your experience has exposed you to. But that is not the same as knowing how the entire legal system works.
There are:
• Small firms and large firms
• Plaintiff firms and defense firms
• Criminal, civil, and administrative matters
• High-value, complex litigation and lower-value case workups
• Expert Witness work and Behind-the-Scenes work
Each one operates uniquely. Each one has different budgets. Each one uses nurses and medical professionals differently.
So when someone makes a sweeping statement like,“I know what attorneys approve,”what they are really saying is,“I know what I’ve personally seen.”
And those are two very different things.
Why does this matter? Because nurses are in these groups speaking very definitively about fields, roles, and income levels they may have only had limited exposure to.
Then when another nurse shares a result that is outside of that limited experience, it immediately gets labeled a scam, impossible, or misleading.
That is unfair. That my friends, is the real scam.
It also shuts down opportunity for other nurses who are simply trying to learn what is possible.
No one person knows every attorney. No one person knows every billing structure. No one person knows every type of case budget in every market.
So let’s stop acting like one person’s experience is the absolute standard for an entire field.
Saying you know what all attorneys approve is a lot like saying you understand all of healthcare because you’ve worked in one hospital.
You may know your environment well.
But that does not mean you know every environment.
That’s the point.
There is a big difference between:
“That has not been my experience” and “that is not possible.”
One is honest.The other is misleading.
And nurses deserve better than that.
