Ricky White is an author based in Virginia, USA. Originally born in Leicester, England, Ricky qualified as a Registered (Adult) Nurse in February 2006. Later he went on to earn his post-graduate degree in Professional Nursing Practice. He worked in a variety of hospitals during his career before he was diagnosed with the chronic, degenerative disease, Ankylosing Spondylitis. Ricky now works as a patient advocate for those with Ankylosing Spondylitis, helping to raise much-needed awareness for his degenerative autoimmune disease.
Because of his unique position in experiencing both sides of the desk, having seen patients in his role as a pre-operative assessment clinic nurse, as well as being a patient himself, Ricky decided to write his debut book — Taking Charge: Making Your Healthcare Appointments Work for You. With the information in this book, Ricky arms other chronic illness sufferers with the tools they need to get the most of their appointments, and to get the care they deserve.
In October 2014, Ricky moved to Virginia with his wife and children. At this point, Ricky sought to continue his propensity for overworked, underpaid, and underappreciated work by becoming a stay-at-home dad, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
When he is not chasing two under-5-year-olds, he is usually writing, coding, or in the dojo practicing Shaolin Kempo. He also has a mild-moderate addiction to Bonsai trees, of which he has a modest collection.
