The Fabuleux Nurse
Chelsea Wynder, otherwise known as influencer The Fabuleux Nurse, has actually been a Gifted Healthcare travel nurse since 2018!
Chelsea describes her brand as a “balance between beauty and nursing.” Chelsea's life as an influencer began when she started posting videos advocating for self-care, along with beauty and cosmetics tips. She fell in love with the process and began expanding her online presence. Chelsea built a website and became very active on social media platforms, sharing her experiences as a travel nurse.
Eventually, The Fabuleux Nurse was born, named to honor her Louisiana roots.
“My goal is to show nurses that you can have your cake and eat it, too,” she said. “It’s possible to enjoy a great travel nursing career and still have financial freedom, a healthy work-life balance, and practice self-care.”
Chelsea mostly engages with her audience on Instagram and YouTube. She discusses the pros and cons of travel nursing, reviews different brands of scrubs, and even answers questions from her audience.
