In This Episode:
Janine Kelbach, RN, is the owner of Write RN, Host of The Savvy Scribe Podcast & Author of Entreprenurse. She started her nursing career in a community hospital learning the basics of labor and delivery, and over the next few years worked her way all the way up the ladder in the medical system.
After having her second child, she burned out on nursing and started looking for another way to put her skills to work, and discovered that there is a huge demand for writers with experience in the medical field.
Today, she writes about nursing and teaches other nurses how to land their own writing gigs. On this episode, she’ll teach you how to make the leap into medical writing, how to land those first new projects, and how to get a steady stream of client work.
