In This Episode: 

Janine Kelbach, RN, is the owner of Write RN, Host of The Savvy Scribe Podcast & Author of  Entreprenurse. She started her nursing career in a community hospital learning the basics of labor and delivery, and over the next few years worked her way all the way up the ladder in the medical system.
