Meet the Nurse Turning Songs & Storytelling Into YouTube Health Lessons for Kids (With Emari Etta-Tawo)

We spotlight the nurse and mom behind the viral children’s character Nurse Dolly. Georgia nurse Emari Etta-Tawo created the YouTube series Mini Med School to help kids feel less afraid of doctor visits through songs, storytelling, stuffed animals, and playful medical lessons.

We discuss how Nurse Dolly is making health education fun and accessible for families, why representation in healthcare matters, and how one nurse’s creativity is inspiring the next generation of caregivers. Plus, hear how parents and fellow nurses are responding to the show’s trusted, educational approach to teaching kids about hygiene, anatomy, wellness, and confidence in healthcare settings.

Tune in to learn how Nurse Dolly is turning nursing knowledge into singalongs, smiles, and meaningful impact for children everywhere.
