Despite how interactive and interpersonal the profession of nursing is, nursing knowledge and experiences can also be shared virtually - online by influencers. Many nurses are using their platforms to educate and engage with other nurses, nursing students, and medical students. The nursing community on Instagram continues to grow as more people share their stories, patient care tips and tricks, and even nursing memes. Nursing school can be stressful and personally I find that the support I receive from other nursing students is truly inspiring.
Influencers tend to get a bad rep, but these people aren't your ordinary influencers because they have been in similar (nursing) shoes and are here to give us motivation and confidence to be successful nurses.
Here are some nursing Instagram pages that we think you should check out!
Brittany Greaves @catchbrittifyoucan
Britt is an inspiring travel nurse and lifestyle blogger. There is never a dull moment with her as she shares her unforgettable traveling stories and passion for travel nursing with her followers. She has a great sense of humor which makes her posts inviting and she radiates the energy of a cool older sister which makes her advice even more salient.
Crystal the IV Queen @intravenousqueen
Putting in an IV can be extremely difficult as a new or inexperienced nurse. Crystal the "Intravenous Queen" is an expert in all aspects of IVs and her Instagram is jam packed with tips & tricks to help you master inserting an IV. She truly loves her field and wants to inspire other nurses to excel in the same ways.
Nurse Blake @nurse.blake
You may already know him, but Blake is a humorous and witty nurse who can turn any situation into a light-hearted one. After a tiring day of nursing school, Blake's posts and TikTok's are bound to make you destress by giving you a good laugh. He uses his knowledge and expertise to bring up relevant current events to educate his audience, which makes him an inspirational influencer.
Social media can be extremely draining at times, but following the right crowd can greatly influence your mindset and motivation for powering through nursing school and beyond. These were just a few examples of nursing influencers who are leaving an impact on our lives and we hope that you find and use these inspirational nurses (and others) as sources of encouragement! Remember to study hard and stay safe!
