Moms in Scrubs

Moms in Scrubs Two nurse moms. Clinical insight. Fierce advocacy. Clarity for families navigating kids with chronic health conditions.

We are Amanda and Jessica, two moms and two parents who have navigated the challenges of caring for children with complex health needs. We know firsthand the fear, the uncertainty, and the exhaustion that come with advocating for your child, whether at the doctor’s office, in the hospital, or at school. We created this page as a safe space for parents: a place where you can feel heard, understood,

and supported. Our mission is to share practical guidance, real-life experiences, and heartfelt conversations so that no parent has to walk this journey alone. Through our work as nurses and our experiences as parents, we bring both knowledge and empathy—helping families navigate the medical system, advocate for their children, and find community along the way. This is why we do what we do: because every parent deserves support, guidance, and hope.

Self-advocacy doesn’t start with a big moment. It starts small: letting your child practice saying “I need a break” to a teacher, or “my stomach hurts and I need my snack” instead of just powering through. It’s rehearsing the words with them at home so they’re not searching for them under pressure at school.

As nurse moms, we’ve seen it firsthand — the kids who learn to speak up for their own needs early carry that confidence into every IHP meeting, every 504 conversation, every doctor’s appointment for the rest of their lives. We won’t always be in the room. Teaching them to advocate for themselves is how we make sure they don’t need us to be.

Start small. Practice often. Watch them surprise you. 🩺

What’s one phrase you’ve taught your child to say for themselves? Drop it below — we might feature it in a future post.

If you’ve lost the version of yourself that existed before all this — the one with hobbies, hopes, a future that felt open instead of managed — you’re not alone, and you’re not broken. Chronic, compounding stress does this to anyone. It’s not a character flaw. It’s a sign you’ve been carrying too much for too long without enough support.

This isn’t weakness. It’s what chronic, compounding stress does to anyone, no matter how strong they are. And strong people ask for help too — that’s not the exception to strength, it’s part of it.

As nurse moms who’ve lived this too, we want you to know: asking for help for yourself isn’t selfish. It’s part of how you keep showing up for the people who need you.

If this hit home, drop “still here” below — you’re not the only one. And if you don’t have support in place yet, it’s not too late to start.

This isn’t a substitute for professional medical or mental health care. If you’re struggling, please reach out to a licensed therapist, counselor, or your healthcare provider.

3 things I do differently as a nurse mom during cold & flu season 🤧

Functional health doesn’t mean skipping the basics — it means layering small, consistent habits on top of good medical care. Here’s what I actually do:

🦠 Gut-first, daily — not just when someone’s sick
😴 Protect the sleep routine, even on weekends
☀️ Ask about D3 + K2 levels each winter — they work as a team

Swipe through, save it for flu season prep, and tell me your family’s go-to immune ritual below 👇

This is general wellness education, not medical advice. Always check with your child’s provider before starting new supplements or making changes to their diet or routine.
