Instagram has become my go-to social media platform these days. It reads more like a lifestyle magazine with a cleaner look than Facebook and Twitter. Scrolling through photos rather than reading posts is more my speed when I have the downtime to peruse apps. While I try to keep my Insta feed pretty lighthearted (i.e. not work related) by following friends, family, and my favorite food bloggers, there are a few nursing feeds I have allowed into my mix. If you’re looking for some healthcare related laughs, check out these hilarious nurses on Instagram.
@snarkynurses
“Love our jobs but inappropriate humor keeps us sane” is the @snarkynurses tagline. I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment. The @snarkynurses Insta feed is maintained by med-surg turned ICU nurses with a keen sense of humor.
@nursinglol
True to it’s title, @nursinglol will make you laugh out loud if you’re in the mood for some comic relief. “When you’re a nurse, there are a lot of OMG and WTF moments, but it’s the LOL that makes it all worthwhile” say the feed’s authors.
@nursehumorprn
@nursehumorprn captures the innermost, sarcastic thoughts of hospital nurses everywhere. Especially night shifters.
@fabulousrn1
Clever quips, quotes, and memes make up @fabulousrn1’s Instagram feed. While nursing-related content comprises most of this RN’s feed, she does include a few personal photos showing the real-life face behind the funny.
@nurselifern
If you’re a fan of Instagram video clips, @nurselifern is the feed for you. In contrast to our prior Instagram picks, @nurselifern goes above and beyond your average meme with animated posts.
@nursingproblems
@nursingproblems keeps Instagram posts a bit cleaner than other humorous medical feeds allowing users to enjoy a laugh with family-friendly language.
@gomerblog
The Gomer Blog has captured the medical satire news market. Fans of the blog may also enjoy the healthcare irony with the @gomerblog Insta feed. Stories like “General Surgeon Moves Clinic to Operating Room, Cites Excessive Patient Consciousness” are sure to elicit a laugh.
@nursesofinstagram
@nursesofinstagram is a compilation of funnies from nurses across the globe. “No matter where we practice, we can all relate”, say the feed’s authors. It turns out, when a group of RN’s get their heads together, we’re downright hilarious.
@medicalhumor
This feed may capture the thoughts of nurses and other healthcare providers better than any other. With a smattering of nursing and general medical posts, you won’t be able to stop scrolling through @medicalhumor’s feed.
