512 Networking for LNCs Allison Dickson

September 12, 2022

Today is your opportunity to learn from a champion networker. Allison Dickson, a nurse with emergency department experience and 18 years of clinical experience, entered the legal nursing consultant field in 2020, an uncertain time for any new entrepreneur.

She chose Linkedin as her initial target, and her first contact with an attorney yielded a job.

She has continued interacting on Linkedin, and she emphasizes the importance of the personal touch. In reaching out to attorneys or other contacts, she finds a point of personal connection with them.

In doing this, she embodies the networking rule: “It’s about them, not about you.” In addition, she is active in Business Networkers International. This organization has face-to-face meetings and Zoom meetings.

Allison is active on both levels. The individual groups represent a wide range of white-collar and blue-collar jobs, with the purpose of people providing referrals for each other. This furthers Allison’s practice of supporting others.

You will notice that Allison seems highly self-confident about reaching out to others. She explains that this happened when she shifted her mindset. She says, “My motto is you have to want it more than you need it, and that's the only way you're going to be successful.”

That attitude, combined with her commitment to help others, has made Allison a success. Take the opportunity to learn from her proven practices.

Your Presenter of Networking for LNCs Allison Dickson

Allison Dickson has been an RN for almost 18 years. She started her nursing career in the Emergency Department. She has worked in inner city, academic, level 1 trauma centers as well as small community hospitals. After 10 years working in Emergency Departments, and her oldest son being diagnosed with autism, she wanted a job with a more stable schedule. That is how she happened into Quality Improvement. She fell in love with tracking data, learning regulations, and educating staff on the 'why'. After being in Quality Improvement leadership for 4-5 years and participating in the behind the scenes activity she did not like what she saw. She became frustrated with corporate healthcare she sought other avenues to use her skills. She had heard of legal nurse consulting and had taken a course a few years prior. In 2020 Allison decided she wanted to go for it and start a legal nurse consulting firm. She has been pursuing this dream ever since. When she is not working on growing her business she is busy with her three boys and spending time with her husband.
