Travel healthcare recruiter Brad is back and this week we talk about his origin story, about how nursing helped change his life forever. 

Brad originally wanted to be a Mechanical Engineer. When he found that lacking he turned to other ventures, even one that took him to Australia. Unfortunately, he still didn't find his passion. So after working at a bar and helping flip houses, he went home. 

Then something happened that changed his life. He then went to his community college and started down his path to becoming an ER nurse. From there he would become a Travel Nurse and then a Travel Healthcare Recruiter at Atlas MedStaff.
