Even as a student\, he was an advocate for change—in 2013\, he founded Banned4Life\, a movement that played a key role in ending the FDA’s lifetime ban on gay men donating blood.After graduation\, Nurse Blake worked in Level 1 trauma centers across the country\, but an unexpected passion for social media transformed his career. What began as funny Facebook videos to de-stress quickly went viral\, earning him nearly 4 million followers and a devoted fanbase of nurses and nursing students worldwide. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n Know Before You Go\n \n \n\n\n\n \n Manage Tickets\n \n\n\n\n\n \n Directions & Parking\n \n\n\n\n\n \n Program\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Generous support from\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConvos is Self-Supporting.Your Ticket Purchases and Generous GiftsPower it All! \n\n\n\n \n Learn More\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n Dive Deeper\n \n \n\n\n\nFounder of NurseCon at Sea – The Ultimate Nursing Conference\n\n\n\nBeyond comedy\, Nurse Blake is the founder of NurseCon at Sea\, the most unique and exciting nursing conference in the world.
