Born and raised in Miami, FL, I’ve spent the past four years building a career as a nurse. My name is Melanie Gomez and my journey began in Med-Surg, where I worked for two years before transitioning to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), where I've been for the last two years. Alongside my nursing career, I’ve been active on social media since nursing school. I started by sharing my experiences and have since gained a following for my humorous nursing videos on TikTok and Instagram, blending humor with the realities of the profession.
