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. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kara-dam-sim/support

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.
