ABOUT ME
M&M Associates Consulting, LLC was founded by Maureen MacDowell, who was driven to expand on her 18+ years of nursing expertise by looking into new opportunities.
​
Having grown up on Long Island and lived in Arizona and Texas for a while has given me new perspectives. Although it has been an incredible experience, being by the bedside has not been without its difficulties. This RN has been motivated to work harder and learn how to assist with some malpractice and personal injury cases by working with physicians, nurse practitioners, several nurses, and of course patients and their families.
​
After completing nursing school, I relocated to Arizona and pursued her career for more than five years in a local hospital's telemetry floor. After specializing in hospice care for ten years, I gained experience as a nurse in home health, cardiac rehabilitation, psychiatric, developmentally disabled and blind adult settings.
​
Hospital training, hospice, and home health experience broadened my skill set. After 18 years as a RN I am proud to say she is ready to be YOUR Certified Legal Nurse Consultant.
