As the LNC profession matures, we are learning about increasingly varied ways in which we can practice our skills. Jaimee Gerrie, an LNC with 27 years of clinical experience, also works as a mediator in both medical and non-medical cases.Learn about The LNC as a mediator.

She describes in detail the process of resolution through mediation. A method that has greatly increased in popularity due to the present inability to achieve resolution through the usual trial method, mediation has the additional benefits of costing much less and of putting the individual much more in control of the situation.

Nurses are particularly well suited to enter this expanding field. Their training develops in them the ability to evaluate situations and peoples. They have the necessary ability to listen actively, assess body language, and tune in to the silent messages another person may be sending. These skills are essential in the mediation environment, and Jaimee vividly demonstrates this through the story of a very delicate situation she successfully mediated

If you are an experienced nurse who’s looking for a different way to practice your skills, if you have a special interest in helping to resolve conflicts outside of a courtroom setting, a career as a mediator may be exactly what you need to explore. This podcast may open the door to a new profession for you.
