History
The Patriot Nurse is an online platform operated by an anonymous individual offering courses and content focusing on medical preparedness, herbalism, and holistic health. The exact founding details are sparse, but the platform has been active for several years, promoting self-sufficiency in health care, particularly in crisis situations. The website also features strong, right-leaning content, especially the associated YouTube channel.
The Patriot Nurse claims to be a registered nurse with certifications as a master herbalist and allopathic medical certifications. She also holds memberships as an NRA Life Member, Gun Owners of America – Lifetime Member, and Tennessee Firearms Association – Life Member. She is also a GLOCK Certified Armorer, NRA Certified Pistol Instructor, and Glock Sport Shooting Foundation Lifetime Member. Unfortunately, due to a complete lack of transparency, we cannot verify if the above claims are true.

Funded by / Ownership
The platform generates revenue through the sale of online courses, such as the Herbal Preparedness Courses, and the sale of alternative health products, such as herbs and supplements. Information on who owns the Patriot Nurse is difficult to find, but in researching, we have determined that Rachel Greene from Tennessee is the probable owner (not confirmed). Regardless, she attempts to remain anonymous for some reason.
Analysis / Bias
ThePatriotNurse.com website generally serves as a vehicle to market or sell Ms. Greene’s products. The website offers links to her online preparedness courses, live training sessions, and a store that sells herbal products like this Patriot Nurse’s Starter Stash – 20 Herbs. This herb package is currently on sale for $480. The store also has a bookshelf, which is currently empty.
The website also links to Ms. Greene’s YouTube Channel, where she offers advice and conservative political opinions. The channel features videos on alternative health and many videos promoting right-wing conspiracy theories like this Protect Yourself Against Medical Tyranny With These 5 Steps and this promoting a so-called invasion at the Texas border Civil War Echoes: Unpacking Governor Abbott’s Defiance in the Texas Border Clash. Both of these narratives advance common conservative ideologies.
In another story, she leads with a headline that is false: Hawaii Bans 2nd Amendment- Constitutional Crisis Takes Shape? The claim of an outright ban on the Second Amendment in Hawaii is false. While Hawaii has strict gun control laws, these do not equate to a ban on the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. The legal landscape around the Second Amendment involves a balance between individual rights and public safety considerations, with states having the leeway to regulate firearms in a manner consistent with Supreme Court rulings and constitutional protections.
In general, the Patriot Nurse promotes a conservative narrative, frequently expressing negative opinions about Transgender care like this Are You SURE You Want to Go to the Pediatrician? While not all information on this site is false. It is often entirely one-sided, which can be misleading as it leaves out important context for the reader/listener.
