Joining us on the Move Over Mama Couch this episode is someone who is a nurse, performing artist, and social media phenomenon, Hamish Briggs – who goes by moniker "Nurse Hamish" on TikTok.
He grew up in the country and was known as "the dancing kid from Kalgoorlie", embraced by the town for his talent and flamboyance. Traveling the world as a young adult performing from Perth to Paris and everything in between he thought his fate was written in stage lights when he went on to become a successful global influencer, but not for what you think.
Covid sent most of the performing world into shut down and it was through this period that Hamish leapt from the stage as a professional dancer and actor to studying to become a registered nurse. One day he shared his new found life and passion on Tik Tok and became a true star. Now he is nailing life in health care and sharing the daily ups and downs (mostly ups) to an adoring social audience.
Hamish and I first met performing in the musical Priscilla Queen of the Desert. He came over from Perth and was a standout performer, bringing pizazz but also heart to the cast, he was so much fun to work with. Vibrant, full of positivity, life and SO MUCH TALENT. I instantly found him intriguing because whilst he was a very talented performer, he was also studying to be a nurse, and he was loving it… like really REALLY loving nursing. He is so talented as a singer, dancer and actor that he could continue auditioning and performing around the world, but his heart is now in health and bringing joy to others while nursing and sharing the journey. He has grown his TIK TOK following encouraging others to get into nursing and sharing the joy of caring for others. So because we want to use this podcast as a way for teens to find themselves and what they want to do in life, I couldn’t think of anyone else more perfect to talk about what it’s like to be a nurse, and how you can use TIK TOK to inspire others. We hope you fall in love with Hamish as we have done.
