    TRNL Ep12: Going Back to the Nursing Profession with Paris Perez

    Not all Nurses practiced the profession after passing the board exam, a lot of them might even ask, "is it still possible to go back to being a Nurse after all those years?". My guest for this week is Paris Perez, he's been an RN for 13 years but has only been practicing nursing for 2 years. Listen as he shares how he ventured being a Medical Representative for almost 10 years and now back to being a Nurse in UK. May others find inspiration, and realize that it's never too late to practice Nursing.

    TRNL Ep10: The RN Speaks: Why I Started The RN Life Podcast And What is it About

    I am inaugurating a new segment for the podcast, and it is called the RN speaks. This is where I get to share my own experiences, answer questions asked by the listeners, and share the information that I know might help our colleagues in the profession, The RN Speaks will just be a short episode since I am the only one talking and for now, this is not going to be a weekly thing, this will just pop out once in a while and when needed, unlike the usual where we have guests that we talk with on a weekly basis, but we’ll see, for now, we’ll just play it by ear. For today, what I’ll be sharing is why I started the RN Life Podcast and what is it about. If you haven’t subscribed yet, please do, The RN Life podcast is on Spotify and Apple podcast, you can rate it as well or if you have questions or suggestions, DM me on IG at karakarabaw
