On this episode of I Beg Your Pardon, we’re joined by a powerhouse in scrubs — a Black nurse, social media force, and unapologetic queen of resilience. From earning her degree to inspiring thousands online, she breaks down what it really means  

to heal while hustling, and how she deals with love from the community and shade from the sidelines.

We talk purpose, pressure, and the power of showing up as your full self — even when the haters are loud. Trust, this one’s for anyone chasing goals with grace and grit.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of abuse, trauma, and emotional distress that may be difficult for some listeners. Please take care while listening.

In this powerful episode of I Beg Your Pardon this Nursing Week, we sit down with Katie Duke — nurse, trailblazer, and one of the first influencers to put nursing on the social media map. Katie opens up about her early struggles with life, abuse, her career as a nurse, moving from the country to the city, and the tough path she walked to rebuild her life in New York City. From working night shifts to becoming a nationally recognized voice in healthcare, Katie shares how she turned pain into purpose, setbacks into strength, and built a brand without losing her identity. Raw, real, and deeply inspiring — this is the story behind the scrubs.

In this jaw-dropping episode, Nurse John spills the tea on one of the hottest, messiest, and most unbelievable real-life encounters between nurses and doctors. We all know how doctors are glorified as the stars of the hospital—praised on TV, idolized in media, and treated like gods in white coats. But behind the scenes? Sometimes that status, power, and alphabet soup after their names gets to their heads—and guess who ends up in the crossfire? Yep… the nurses.

Get ready for a no-holds-barred, brutally honest deep dive into the moments when ego, entitlement, and hierarchy explode into full-blown chaos. This isn’t Grey’s Anatomy—it’s raw, unfiltered healthcare reality.

So grab your coffee, take your meds, and hydrate—because you’re about to swallow some hard truths that’ll make you gasp, cringe, and maybe even rage-laugh. This one’s spicy.

These two icons have taken social media by storm, and today, they’re spilling all the secrets on how they became everyone’s favorite dynamic duo.

But that’s not all — we’re diving deep into real workplace bullying stories, and trust us, the drama is real! Nurse John, Colton, and Glen aren’t just reading the tea — they’re serving up tips, advice, and just the right amount of sass to show you how to stand up for yourself and never, ever take crap from anybody.
