Abstract

Blending careers is an exciting alternative to choosing one profession or another. In this article, the author relates her experiences as a nurse to her current choice of profession, the law. The author used the same principles and interventions developed while nursing in dealing with clients experiencing personal injuries, working on the estate of a client's deceased family member, or helping a client with the many issues that arise with the end of a marriage. The marriage of nursing and law has been a successful partnership. One career builds on the experience and education of the other, allowing the practitioner to offer clients a total package of legal and health care delivery assistance.
