Our next guest needs no introduction; but if you’re not up to date on your social media stars, Nurse Clara has paved the way for nurse influencers and medical content creators in the space. Today, she chats with D and Jackie about navigating a presence on social media as a healthcare worker. They talk about nurses getting hate for making content at work, and discuss the benefit of using their credentials to empower and educate whatever community they have, big or small. With healthcare workers expressing themselves more to their patients and followers, it allows them to be seen as regular people too, who you can hopefully trust even more. Clara discusses how she went from just posting on social media to having a full-on business, the pressure to post about certain things, and performative activism. She offers advice for people starting out, talks about her new shoes dropping with Clove, and absolutely glows when speaking about her mentorship and passion for the ACU.
