Dear Nurse Beth,

After many years as an RN specializing in behavioral and developmental disabilities and hospice end of life care, I am now planning to transition to freelance writing in these areas. Do you have any suggestions to help me get started? I will need to submit some volunteer articles for sample clips.

Dear Wants to Freelance,

That's great! And your plan is doable.

My best advice is to get in touch with Elizabeth Hanes, RN2Writer. She has made a successful career out of writing, and now she teaches other nurses how to do it.

In the meantime, submit an article here on allnurses! Go to the bottom of the page where it says "Submit an Article" and follow the instructions.

If you haven't yet been published, you are going to love seeing your articles posted.

Best wishes,

Nurse Beth
