Being a Nurse, a Creator, and a Voice for Parents: Mama Nurse Tina

This week on Club Nurse, Colton sits down with Mama Nurse Tina (L&D nurse, breastfeeding specialist, and creator of Bump to Latch) for a chaotic-wholesome, wildly informative convo about pregnancy, birth, and the realities of modern healthcare. Tina shares why she’s passionate about making actual maternity info accessible, what it’s really like being a healthcare creator online, and why education should never come with shame.They cover the greatest hits: minimalist hospital bag tips (think nips + bits, not your whole house), fed is best (with real talk on breastfeeding, combo feeding, and formula prep), plus a nuanced discussion on home birth vs hospital, Pitocin/oxytocin, the stuff nobody warns you about (yes, mucus plug + bloody show). They wrap with Tina’s spicy take on gender reveals: if you might be disappointed, maybe don’t film it for the internet forever. >>Being a Nurse, a Creator, and a Voice for Parents: Mama Nurse TinaJump Ahead to Listen: [00:01:28] Making healthcare information accessible.[00:05:03] Building an online business.[00:08:21] Stand-up comedy as a hobby.[00:11:21] Essentials for hospital packing.[00:17:01] Breastfeeding versus formula debate.[00:19:54] Supplementing with formula options.[00:21:25] Birth culture and personal agency.[00:25:00] Home birth vs. free birth.[00:28:23] Emergency department and labor delivery dynamics.[00:30:57] Hospital birth vs. home birth.[00:34:24] Pitocin: usage and concerns.[00:37:18] Mucus plug explained.[00:40:31] Gender reveals and expectations.[00:43:10] Gender roles in parenting.[00:46:20] Keep learning for better birth.Connect with Colton on social media:Instagram: @coltonalanlord, @club.nurseTikTok: @nursecoltonConnect with Tina on social media: Instagram: @mama_nurse_tinaTikTok: @mama_nurse_tinaFacebook: Mama Nurse TinaYouTube: @mamanursetinaWebsite: https://www.bumptolatch.com/🎙️ About the Club Nurse PodcastThank you for tuning in!
