TSC Talks guests Sherri Tuktus and Mark Worster fill us in on how Green Nurses turn the tables on some of the aspects of the top-heavy traditional healthcare model and seek to empower the patient with education, empowering them to ask questions and engage with the curriculum instead of being handed a prescription and sent out the door. Sherri is the Founder, CEO, and Executive Director at GreenNurse Group, Member of International Association of Psychedelic Nursing, Director of Nursing (DON) at Irie Bliss Wellness, Founding Member at Cannabis Nurses Network, and member at American Cannabis Nurses Association. Sherri is a cannabis nurse, patient, and advocate. She earned her Bachelors in Science and Nursing from Boston College. She is a highly skilled Registered Nurse with 30 years of practical experience in various departments within the hospital and home setting. She is utilizing her expert nursing skills as a medical center specialist, clinical nurse liaison and educator to bridge the gap between patients and the cannabis community. Sherri has been educating and implementing holistic integrative healing modalities within her practice for over 20 years. She educates on the endocannabinoid system and the safe utilization of cannabis at dispensaries, hospitals, clinics, patients' homes, and she regularly does pop up events and expos. Nurse Mark is an entrepreneur, leader, fitness guru, business/life coach, healthcare professional, and author of Absolutely F**king Amazing: Living a Life You Love, an Amazon #1 Best Seller. He is a Registered Nurse licensed in Massachusetts and New York. In 2017, he began his cannabis education – studying how to utilize it as a tool to create a happier, less stressed, pain-free life and completed in-depth training to become a Cannabis Nurse, which has allowed him to do work that he loves: Showing folks how to use this amazing plant to create powerful lives. Nurse Mark has a personal experience with medical cannabis. He’s dealt with lifelong, medication-resistant depression and mood disorder. He’s been through the mental health system, explored all the pathways to health and happiness, and have successfully created a daily regimen designed to relieve his depression and allow for the creation of the greatest, joy-filled life ever.
