The partnership produced a line of nurse-humor-inspired apparel, including a 'Nurses Collage' tee designed by ER nurse and artist Hillary of Her Crescent & Co, turning healthcare advocacy into wearable merch.
After six years as a frontline ICU nurse, she transitioned to full-time content creation, with her LinkedIn noting expansion into acting, hosting, and public speaking — while remaining repped by Buchwald talent agency.

Lindsey is a Los Angeles-based creator and traveling ICU registered nurse originally from Oklahoma who built her following under the handle @scrubhacks — a play on scrubs, the uniform of her profession, and the "life hacks" format popular on short-form video. Rather than literal tips, her content leans hard into workplace comedy: deadpan observations from the ICU, relatable nursing-school flashbacks, and the particular absurdity of hospital life that only colleagues and patients' families tend to recognize. She and her husband, also a traveling ICU nurse, live full-time in a fifth wheel, which adds a road-life texture to her channel beyond the clinical setting. She is represented by Buchwald, a mid-major talent agency, and co-hosts the podcast "Friends and Enemas," whose title telegraphs exactly the tone she brings to everything she makes.
Her engagement rate on TikTok sits well above category norms, a signal that her audience — skewing heavily toward young adult women, with a strong concentration in the 18-to-34 bracket — is not passive. The community is largely US-based, with secondary reach in the UK, Canada, and Australia, all markets with sizable English-speaking healthcare workforces that self-select into nursing humor content. Her Instagram bio frames nursing as her "plan B" and foregrounds her identity as an actor and comedian, which partly explains an atypical brand partnership like Nintendo America appearing alongside more expected healthcare-adjacent placements. That crossover positioning — credentialed medical professional with a comedy and entertainment lane — makes her a distinctive fit for brands that want clinical authenticity delivered without the earnestness, and her trajectory through formal agency representation suggests a deliberate push toward mainstream entertainment beyond the nursing-content vertical.
scrubhacks reaches an audience concentrated in United States primarily through TikTok, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. As a comedy creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Engagement on TikTok runs around 11.7%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.
