Hire Nurse Keith for your writing needs!
Writing is one of my great passions. I love language, words, and telling a compelling story. I launched one of the first nursing blogs on the internet in 2005, and I’ve been a prominent freelance nurse writer for over a decade.
I’m currently available for freelance writing work, including articles on most any topic related to career-building, nursing, healthcare, and medicine for audiences of fellow healthcare professionals or for the general public. As an efficient and accurate writer, I’m able to produce engaging, high-quality content with a relatively short turnaround time. Examples of what I can create for you or your company include:
- Blog posts
- Feature articles
- Video scripts
- Web copy/sales copy
- Social media posts
- Podcast episode scripts and show notes
- Editorial/opinion pieces
- Interviews
- Newsletters
I have written professionally for a variety of clients, including, but not limited to: Indeed, Nurse.com, GlassDoor, American Nurse Today, LPNtoBSNOnline.org, MultiBriefs News Service, NursingCE.com, Nurse.org, AusMed.com.au, StaffGarden, BlackDoctor.org, Working Nurse Magazine, Diabetic Lifestyle, Nurse LinkUp, Aspen University, American Sentinel University, Red Ventures (Nurse Journal), Springer Publishing (Daily Nurse and Minority Nurse), and other online publications.

My Books:
My first book, “Savvy Networking For Nurses: Getting Connected and Staying Connected in the 21st Century,” was published in 2015 and revised in 2017.
“Keith Carlson is a master networker and career coach. In his book, he provides the reader with simple strategies, tips to achieve career success. Keith uses simple yet powerful strategies to help nurses build global and hometown relationships. Knowing that the #1 desired human emotion is to feel connected with other humans, Keith provides the quintessential roadmap for success.” –Dr. Renee Thompson, DNP, RN, CMSRN, and CEO of The Healthy Workforce Institute
My second book, “Aspire to be Inspired: Creating a Nursing Career That Matters,” was published in 2017.
“Keith Carlson’s latest book, Aspire to Be Inspired, captures the spirit of nursing and highlights the tremendous value nurses possess. With multiple perspectives, Keith gives voice to empowering nurses to take their knowledge and experience and express it in work they love. The section titled ‘Your Nursing Career and a Latte’ beautifully describes the development of our nursing journey and left me wanting to read more. For nurses that feel stuck or wish to take their careers to the next level, Nurse Keith can help and this book is for you!” –Michelle Podlesni, RN President and CEO of the National Nurses in Business Association
