Meet Our Founder:
Elizabeth Hanes, BSN RN
By the summer of 2010, I knew I couldn’t take it anymore. Nursing, that is.
Oh, I loved patient care. Don’t get me wrong. But I found it impossible to escape the toxic work environments of healthcare, no matter how hard I tried.
So I did something “crazy.” I decided to become a professional writer. The idea of working from home, on my own schedule, with no co-workers or bosses sounded heavenly. I could sit in front of my computer and write health articles all day - continuing to educate patients without the chaos of clinical practice.
Ridiculous, right? A pipe dream.
Actually… not as crazy as you might think.
Within a couple of years of working my writing business on the side...
I was making enough money from freelancing to quit my nursing job.
I’ve since gone on to write for some of the world’s best-known healthcare brands: WebMD, Healthgrades, Cardinal Health, Anthem, Aetna, Dignity Health - and many others.
I regularly earned over $100,000 per year as a writer, and I never worked more than about 24 hours a week.
I took most afternoons off to…sip Cosmos on the patio while reading a good book, go antiquing with friends, work out with my private trainer at the gym, putter around my flower garden, take long hikes in the foothills with my doggo, Mitzi, and generally enjoy my life.
I was living the dream.
And here’s the best part: There’s nothing special about me. No magical talent or background that made me any more likely to succeed as a writer than any of my nursing peers.
I simply persisted. Learned the industry. Kept honing my craft.
If I can do it, you can, too.
Show me how to start my work-from-home nurse business!
