Throughout my nursing journey, I’ve spent a decade in emergency and a few years in an inpatient setting. In that time, even though I still haven't 'seen it all' and probably never will, I’ve seen a lot: the chaos, the long shifts, the heartbreak, the small wins, and the moments that change lives forever. But one thing I’ve also seen — and felt deeply — is how often nurses are treated as if we aren't human, every single day.

What began as a way to mentor and support new nurses has grown into a community and now, a brand. I saw myself as a “big sister” figure for nurses who needed encouragement, real talk, and a reminder that they’re not alone in this career. It's one of the most rewarding but it also comes with many mental and physical challenges.

My first apparel line, “Nurse. But Still Human Too.”, was created to carry that message into the world. It’s not just clothing — it’s advocacy. Each piece is designed with nurses in mind: comfortable, wearable on or off shift, and rooted in the idea that we’re people first.

Whether you’re a nursing student, a seasoned ER warrior, or someone who simply wants to support the nurse in your life — there is an option for you.

BigSisRN is more than a brand. It’s a movement to remind the world that nurses are still human too.
