Meet Mama Nurse Tina, the hilarious labour and delivery RN with a 1.5M following
Global News
Tina Bitangcol is a labour and delivery nurse and mom of four who shares her personal and professional knowledge with the 1.5 million followers of her 'Mama Nurse Tina' persona.
Tina Bitangcol spends her days doing what she loves: when the Edmonton woman is not working as a registered nurse in labour and delivery, she’s sharing her passion for all things pre- and post-partum to millions of followers online as the comedic, enlightening Mama Nurse Tina.
“What I have become really passionate about is educating and teaching people how to advocate and decrease birth trauma and have a more knowledgeable, positive birth experience,” the mother of four said.
She didn’t intend to become a well of information, but by chance and in the trenches of motherhood, Bitangcol discovered there was an appetite for evidence-based pregnancy and childrearing advice.
“I actually started with mom comedy and then I put up, I think, one video about labour and delivery and childbirth — and it went pretty big.”
It was her lightbulb moment.
“There’s this huge need for information in this day and age. And I was like, ‘You have the information. You have a really fun way to deliver it. People seem to really relate to it.’
That was in 2022.
Bitangcol started on TikTok, before adding accounts on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube — the latter of which she said is her favourite.
