In my last post, I mentioned that medical editors and writers often are not schooled in the discipline; this plays out as an advantage for the registered nurse who wants to write. You already know basic anatomy, physiology, and most medical terms that describe an array of diseases. This is a huge advantage when starting a career in medical publishing. Your ability to read and understand scientific and medical articles can translate into a new career if you choose to do so. Starting small, with an essay or letter to the editor can open the door to work. I'll describe how in my next post.
