The Lighter Side of Nursing with Nurse Jessica Sites

Want to see the funny side in nursing? Nurse Jessica Sites is a registered nurse who spent 21 years as a bedside nurse in the same hospital, delivering babies and enjoying what she did until she found that the hospital admin was too overwhelming, leaving her feeling depleted and unable to give her patients the care that they need.

Jessica now enjoys a successful career creating humorous nursing content on the internet. She is a bonafide ‘nurse comedian’ on all the social media channels, casting the serious challenges we are facing in healthcare in a humorous light. 

Jessica Sites is a fantastic example of a working nurse who’s made the Nurse Boss Shift to entrepreneurship in a unique and entertaining way, using the tools of social media to address the issues that she faced in her nursing career – and that working nurses still face today. 

Hosts Christal and Kiiyonna delight in unpacking the challenges Nurse Jessica Sites has faced as an entrepreneur, understanding how her success came about as she went ‘cold turkey’ from the traditional nursing world. Please join us for this laugh-filled episode.
