Meet LaToya Lowery

AANLCP: Tell us a little about yourself, your nursing career, and your current position and what typical day might look like for you.

Lowery: I am the owner and founder of LNL Consulting, PLLC. Services provided include nurse life care planner, case management, medical records review, and long-term care planning. I am a Registered Nurse and have over 15 years of experience in nursing and case management. I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing for the University of North Carolina, at Greensboro and a Master of Business Administration degree from Strayer University. I completed the educational program of Nurse Life Care Planning through FIG Services, Inc. I hold a certification in Case Management, (CCM). I am an active member of the local chapter of Case Management Society of America (CMSA), current serving as Vice President. I am also an active member of AANLCP's Journal Committee.

AANLCP: What prompted you to join AANLCP? How long have you been a member? How has your AANLCP membership benefited you and/or your career?

Lowery: I first learned about AANLCP from one their representatives at the 2014 CMSA Conference in Cleveland, OH. After learning about the organization and a career in NLCP, I knew this organization would be a good fit for me. I have been a member of AANLCP since August 2014. Although I am new to the NLCP family, membership has benefited me through networking, meeting new people, and receiving opportunities to subcontract.

AANLCP: What is the best part of belonging on AANLCP?

Lowery: The best part about belonging to AANLCP is the networking and wealth of information available to us (i.e. the journal).

AANLCP: What is the biggest challenge you've faced as a nurse life care planner?

Lowery: Currently, at the beginning stages of my career as an NLCP, I have not faced any major challenges. However, getting that first referral and having someone give you a chance to prove what you are capable of doing has been my biggest challenge.

AANLCP: What are some of your personal hobbies or volunteer activites?

Lowery: I love to read and travel. Some of my volunteer activities include being a team leader of the First Response Team (FRT), as well as volunteering my time to teach CPR to members of the FRT and Health & Wellness Ministry at church. I participate in several volunteer opportunities within my sorority (i.e. health fairs, back-to-school drives, etc). I also volunteered to assist the Community Advisory Committee within my county. This committee assists the local Long Term Care Ombudsman advocating for residents in long-term care facilities.

AANLCP: Can you share a unique or fun fact about you?

Lowery: A fun fact about me is that I teach Nursing Assistant students in preparation for their State Exam in order to become certified (C.N.A.). I enjoy doing this because I can share what it was like when I was a C.N.A. as well as my experience as an R.N. The majority of the students continue on to nursing school. I also love to participate in community walks (i.e. Women's Only (Breast Cancer), St. Jude, etc.)
