On episode 222 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing career podcast, Nurse Keith interviews freelance nurse writer and entrepreneur Ashley Hay about nursing, living with chronic illness, and creating an inspired solo entrepreneurial lifestyle and workstyle.
Ashley Hay is an experienced registered nurse with over a decade of experience in many areas of both pediatric and adult oncology. She decided to pursue oncology nursing after having a great deal of personal experience with chronic illness. Once her symptoms made it too difficult to continue working in bedside care, she decided to pursue her current line of work, starting her own freelance healthcare writing and consulting business. She lives in San Diego, California.
