How to Create a Non-Traditional Nursing Career You Can Love

On episode 496 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith welcomes back to the podcast Janelle McSwiggin, MSN, RN, a nurse, podcaster, and medical writer whose experience creating a non-traditional career trajectory can serve as inspiration for nurses who would like to follow in her highly successful entrepreneurial footsteps. In the course of their conversation, Keith and Janelle discuss her path to becoming a freelance medical writer with a wide range of corporate clients, including GoodRX, Health.com, and Haymarket. They also discuss Janelle's online writing academy that walks nurses and healthcare professionals through the steps of starting a remunerative and satisfying freelance writing career. Also addressed is Janelle's branding and social media strategy that combines both personal and professional reflections that paint a picture of an engaged, approachable, and personable human being who shares her life and work in a genuine and authentic manner. Outside of her writing work, Janelle is deeply passionate about helping other nurses. She hosts the Nursing Now podcast and focuses on nurse advocacy, mental health awareness, and remote work options. When she's not pursuing her entrepreneurial ventures, you can find her skiing, flying through the air on a trapeze, or stargazing.  Connect with Janelle McSwiggin: Willow Bark Writing Willow Bark Writing Academy Nursing Now Podcast LinkedIn YouTube Contact Nurse Keith about holistic career coaching to elevate your nursing and healthcare career at NurseKeith.com.
