20 Cool Instagram Accounts For Nurses and Nursing Students
Are you looking for nurse accounts to follow in Instagram?
Nowadays, there are so many funny, entertaining, and even inspiring Instagram accounts created by nurses for nurses. In the middle of a busy day, they’re a fast way to get your “fun fix” just by simply scrolling through the Instagram feed of your phone.
In case you haven’t registered an account yet, Instagram is a great social media for nurses to try. You can promote a business you are running on the side, share your personal life and funny crazy work stories, or even share your homemade nursing study materials. (The last one is a big hit on Insta!) You can use Adobe Express for free and customized post templates.
Below, we’ve chosen the best Instagram accounts to follow. We’ve shortlisted them because they’re either really funny, inspirational, or they have a lot of cool mnemonics and study materials for nursing students. All follow counts are as of writing.

I don’t think people realize just how broken healthcare is right now.
We are losing incredible people because we GIVE so much of ourselves, to a system that does nothing but take.
Healthcare workers need support.
We are not okay.
Please remember, you deserve support.
You are not alone.

To be honest, we hesitated adding these nurse accounts promoting their side (or main) hustles. However, there are nurses out there who are stuck with stressful low-paying jobs who might just need a little Eureka in their lives to help level up their nursing career.
