Susan Sears, RN, BSN, CRRN
I’m a registered nurse with over 20 years of clinical experience and a freelance healthcare writer specializing in acute rehabilitation, post-acute care, and patient-centered healthcare communication.
For the past decade, I’ve worked in inpatient rehabilitation, supporting patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams through some of the most complex phases of recovery. That clinical background now informs every piece of content I write—ensuring it is accurate, practical, and grounded in real-world care.
Today, I partner with healthcare organizations, rehabilitation providers, and health technology companies to translate complex clinical information into content that is clear, credible, and trusted.
Why My Clinical Background Matters
Healthcare content carries real responsibility. When information is unclear, oversimplified, or inaccurate, it can create confusion, mistrust, and unnecessary barriers—for both professionals and patients.
Because I’ve spent years at the bedside and within interdisciplinary care teams, I understand:
- How clinicians think and communicate
- What administrators need to support programs and outcomes
- The questions patients and families often struggle to voice
This perspective allows me to write content that reflects how healthcare actually works—not just how it looks on paper.
What I Do
As a healthcare writer, I create clinically accurate content that supports education, understanding, and informed decision-making. My work includes:
- Healthcare and rehabilitation articles and blog content
- Service-line and program pages for healthcare organizations
- Patient and family education materials
- White papers and case studies for HealthTech companies
- Continuing education and professional training content
Because of my nursing background, my work typically requires less back-and-forth and fewer clinical revisions, saving time and reducing risk for my clients.

Beyond the Work
When I’m not writing or working in healthcare, I enjoy spending time outdoors fly fishing, being with my family and grandchildren, and relaxing with my small dog. Staying grounded outside of healthcare helps me bring clarity, empathy, and perspective to my work.
