About Us

The name “Nurse Bar” carries a deeper meaning.

It was created by a registered nurse who, in collaboration with an orthopedic surgeon, set out to develop a better kind of plant-based protein bar — one that actually supports busy healthcare professionals.

Our goal was simple: create a snack that’s low in sugar, high in protein, and made from clean, wholesome ingredients.

But this isn’t just about what’s in the bar — it’s about who it’s for. The name “Nurse Bar” is a tribute to the compassion, grit, and dedication of those who show up every day to care for others.

It’s a small gesture with a big heart.

Meet the Nurse Bar superheroes

Nate and Gale were created as a tribute to the spirit of healthcare heroes everywhere — and inspired by Florence Nightingale herself.

But here’s the real story: they’re us. Nate is an orthopedic surgeon who believed in the vision and joined as a partner and investor. Gale is a registered nurse and the founder who lived the shift-life and knew exactly what was missing from our snack options.

Together, we became the “Superheroes of Fuel” — not because we wear capes, but because we know what it means to serve others while running on empty.

These characters carry the mission of Nurse Bar forward: to support real-life heroes with nutrition that respects the work they do — and the lives they lead.

Endorsements

★★★★★ 5/5

"I eat a bar almost everyday, especially while I’m working which gives me a nutritional boost while staying healthy and getting full that lasts!"

"These bars are fantastic. I wish we had these when I worked in the hospital for many years but it's never too late to start eating healthy nutrition bars. These bars have my endorsement."

"Wow, what great tasting bars. I'm not a nutrition bar kind of guy, but now I am."

"I tried the bars for breakfast with a cup of tea and they were delicious. The flavors were not overpowering which can happen with peanut butter at least for me. There was just the right balance of crunch and chewy."
