How Burned-Out Nurses Are Escaping the Hospital Meat Grinder

…and Turning Their Hard-Earned Experience Into a 6-Figure Freelance Writing Career — Without Risking Their License, Going Back to School, or Surviving Another Soul-Crushing 12-Hour Shift.

An Open Letter to Every Nurse Who Feels Trapped, Burned Out, and Ready for a Way Out

Dear Exhausted Nurse,

If every shift feels like you’re trapped in a hospital meat grinder…

If management gaslights you when you beg for safe ratios…

If your back screams, your bladder bursts, and you still get told to “do more with less”…

If you’re sick of being yelled at, disrespected, and left to risk your license in unsafe conditions…

And if you barely recognize yourself anymore — bitter, numb, soul-crushed — compared to the nurse you once dreamed of being…

Then this may be the most important letter you’ll ever read.

I’ve Been Exactly Where You Are.

Dragging myself home after a 12-hour shift, body wrecked, spirit numb.

Pouring everything into patients while management ignored the abuse.

Feeling invisible. Disposable. Wondering how much longer I could take it.

My breaking point came in a unit so toxic that bullying was brushed off as “just part of the culture.” That’s when I thought: If this is nursing, I won’t survive another decade.

But I wasn’t done helping people. I just couldn’t keep destroying myself to do it.

That’s when I found health writing.

No journalism degree. No special training. Just curiosity, compassion, and the same nursing knowledge you already have.

One article turned into another. Then another. Until I was making more from my laptop than I ever did at the bedside — without risking my license or my health.

Now that roadmap is in your hands.

Let Me Be Clear: This Isn’t For Every Nurse

If you think being a “real nurse” means sacrificing your body and soul at the bedside until there’s nothing left…

If you’re still clinging to the hope that management will fix unsafe ratios or stop the gaslighting…

If you’re looking for a magic button that gives you freedom without effort…

Then stop reading now.

Because what I’m offering isn’t a fantasy. It’s not a quick fix. And it’s not for anyone determined to stay stuck in the grind.

But…

If you’re ready to use your nursing knowledge in a way that finally earns respect and real money…

If you’re ready for a career that fits your life instead of consuming it…

Then keep reading. You’re exactly who I wrote this for.

I’ve seen what happens when nurses pick up this book and take the first steps.

The results go far beyond an extra paycheck.

One nurse hit her breaking point during the pandemic. In her first week back at the bedside, she lost three patients in seven days. She told me it shattered her — she cried in her car, couldn’t sleep, and felt like her soul was being crushed.

She used this guide to land her first writing assignments. Those assignments became a lifeline. They gave her space to reduce her hours, breathe again, and reclaim her life.

Another nurse came in with a journalism background but chose nursing out of a calling. Burned out and unsure what to do next, she followed the steps in this book and landed her first writing gig within a week. Today, she’s combining both callings and finally feels respected for her voice.

Then there was the nurse who couldn’t return to the bedside because of chronic health issues. Instead of giving up, she used this roadmap to build an online writing business. She told me: “For the first time in years, I laugh more. I don’t cry in my car. I don’t feel like a robot just surviving trauma marathons.”

And she’s not alone.

Every day, nurses are proving they can take their knowledge, their compassion, and their voice — and turn it into work that pays well, respects their expertise, and gives them their life back.

Now I Can Almost Hear The Doubts Running Through Your Head

“I’m not a writer.”
If you’ve written a care plan, a chart note, or a nursing school paper that earned at least a “C,” you already have what it takes. Writing as a nurse isn’t about flowery language — it’s about explaining health clearly, something you do every day.

“I don’t want to waste my degree.”
You’re not. You’re finally using it in a way that protects your body and your license while still helping people. In fact, clients pay you because you’re a nurse. Your degree is the reason you stand out.

“I can’t afford to walk away from my paycheck.”
You don’t have to. This isn’t about quitting overnight. It’s about creating another stream of income while you’re still working — one you can grow at your own pace until it gives you the freedom you want.

“What if I fail?”
Every nurse I’ve worked with has started with the same fear. And every single one of them was shocked at how quickly they landed that first paid assignment. Fear doesn’t mean you can’t do this. It just means you haven’t started yet.

The truth is, you already have the knowledge, the compassion, and the discipline to succeed. All that’s missing is a roadmap.

And that’s exactly what this book gives you.

My Name Is Elizabeth Hanes...

After the grind of attaining my BSN, I went into the grind of nursing practice – first in a Level 1 Trauma Center PACU, then as a plastic and reconstructive surgery nurse in a small practice. To my surprise, changing my environment did nothing to diminish the toxicity of working in healthcare. That’s when I realized I needed to get entirely OUT of bedside nursing.

So I became a writer. Crazy, right? Well, not really.

I quickly built my writing career into a six-figure business – and I did it from the tranquility of my own home. No office politics, only genuine appreciation from clients.

Let me show you why a writing career is right for you, too

Here's What To Do Next

Order a copy of my 122-page eBook for just $5.90.

That’s it. No hidden fees, no gimmicks.

For less than the price of one cafeteria lunch or a couple of lattes, you’ll have the exact roadmap I used to build a six-figure freelance health writing career — step by step.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • How to create your first writing samples (even if you’ve never been paid to write before).
  • ​Where to find editors and clients who pay nurses well for their expertise.
  • ​How to choose the type of writing that fits your lifestyle — side hustle or full-time career.
  • ​What to avoid so you don’t waste time making the mistakes I made starting out.

You can read it in an afternoon. And you can start implementing what you learn this week.

And because this book is accredited, you’ll also earn three continuing education credits (CEs) just for reading it. That means you’re not only exploring a new path — you’re fulfilling your annual nursing requirements at the same time.

All for less than six dollars.

Now I Need To Be Upfront With You

This book won’t stay at $5.90 forever.

I priced it this low because I want as many nurses as possible to see what’s possible — and because this is part of a limited marketing test. When the test ends, the price goes up. Simple as that.

So if you’re even thinking about it, grab your copy now while it’s still available.

And just so you feel 100% safe saying yes, here’s my promise:

Try it risk-free.

 If you don’t love what’s inside… if you don’t feel more confident, clearer, and more excited about what’s possible for your career… just email me and I’ll refund your $5.90.

No questions asked. No hoops to jump through. And you can keep the book.

That’s how much I believe in this guide — and in the nurses who read it.

This is your chance to explore a new path without pressure, without risk, and without excuses.

But you do need to act now. Because once this test run is over, this offer disappears.
