Influencer Spotlight On: Jake Mossop

This week, we're putting the spotlight on Jake Mossop! Not only is he a digital content creator, he's also a Registered Nurse, TV Personality, Youtuber, and a co-producer and writer for CBC Life.

He's one of the most multifaceted individuals we know and a force to be reckoned with. We sat down with him to chat about some of his favourite things so that you all can get to know him better.Here's what he had to say...How did you get started as a creator?J: I started as a social media creator after I met a few creators at events in 2016. I was just finishing a TV contract and decided that I would dedicate more time to engaging with my audience.What’s your favourite part of being a creator?J: Similar to my role as a nurse, I love connecting with people over social media and sharing  certain aspects of my life with them. I love creating content that speaks to health, style and travel.

Stop what you’re doing! Think of all the nurses in your life. Think of a nurse who cared for you or a loved one. Think of all the patients each year that are cared for by nurses across this country and around the world. Think of the nurses at the bedside, in the operating rooms, in emergency departments, in labour and delivery units, in intensive care units, in hospices, in community health centres, in schools, in clinics, in rural communities, in mental health facilities, in long-term care, in rehab centres, on the phone through tele-health, in policy development and research and in education, teaching future generations of nurses! NOW GO WISH THEM A HAPPY NURSES WEEK!!!! 👨🏽‍⚕️👩🏼‍⚕️👨🏽‍⚕️👩🏼‍⚕️ #nursejake #nursingweek #nursingweek2018 #nurses #nurse
