Marketing Plan for 2008

I had a two hour flight from Washington DC (Ronald Reagan) to Indianapolis on Monday. Don't get me started but I typically fly out of Indianapolis (which is great for direct and cheap flights to DCA and Las Vegas), Columbus (direct flights to Las Vegas), Louisville or Lexington, Kentucky (sometimes) or Dayton, Ohio (Dayton is a last resort because I don't like connections and you need a stiff drink after connecting in Atlanta).

Okay enough about the travel issues this Cincinnatian who likes to save $200-$300 by not flying out of the Greater Cincinnati Airport.

I received my 2008 Marketing Plan for my law and consulting practices. I am on target for my law firm but not my consulting firm.

Do you have more than one practice or business? How do you manage to keep both afloat?

Are You a Nurse Attorney or an Attorney Nurse?

There is debate, on whether to refer to RN-JDs as nurse attorneys or attorney nurses? What is your opinion?

I a RN who is also an attorney. I am a RN and practicing law is how I pay my bills.

This is just my opinion. However I feel that regardless of how much training, education, credentialing, etc. we receive as nurses, we are always trying to move away from identifying ourselves as nurses (unless of course its beneficial).

I just attended the Center for American Nurses Membership Council Meeting on Sunday and Monday and this was a discussion I had with one of my colleagues.

Are you a nurse researcher or a researcher nurse?

Are you a nurse executive or a executive nurse?

For me being a nurse and also an attorney is who I am however I will always see myself as a RN first and foremost who is also an attorney. Maybe its because of what I do for living (representing and counseling nurses), how involved I am in nursing professional associations, or because I had to work harder for my nursing degrees than I did for my law degree.
