She was a nurse, he was a cop. We seriously need them to stop.

I've been a whistleblower at a nursing home where an RN ordered me to hold down an Alzheimer's patient for her to hit. She fired me for insubordination, and i submitted my logs to the state and got 20 people put in federal prison. I haven't been back to my hometown ever since, and pursued electrical engineering instead.

Best nurse I ever had was a grouchy male army nurse. He almost never talked. However, he could tell if you were in pain just by looking at you. He had access to the best painkillers too. He could also tell if you faked pain. He got me through a bad time when the other nurses thought I was faking pain but was actually in extreme pain.

[cadyeakins]

i had a nurse tell me “you look pale, green, and about to throw up. if you’re gonna throw up, let me know so i can walk out bc i can’t do throw up” why are you a nurse?

[mistertwister]

It’s wild how nurses are either the coolest most caring people or absolute assholes with basically no in between

I remember being in the hospital checking in to give birth and when this one nurse went to use a needle on my arm I went through a bad contraction and started to wince from the pain. She had the audacity to say “umm relax I didn’t even prick you yet 🙄” I snatched my arm away and asked for another nurse that had more sympathy and patience with me going through contractions. She said I was being “dramatic” and I told her of course I am, I’m about to give BIRTH

Speaking as a teacher, it's actually wild that you could replace the words "nurse" with "teacher" and "healthcare" with "education" and the video would still be 100% accurate.

My mother was a CCRN and a narsassist and child abuser. It's a "thank you for your service"/"you save lives" kind of job. No one asks if your a good nurse, or a good person.

The only time I was ok with a nurse making a tiktok right after her patient died, was when a sweet old lady had passed away and she had no family so the nurse made a video to talk about her to make sure others would remember her.

All of the mean girls are becoming nurses while the male bullies are becoming cops. And some of both become managers

[opaltoralien]

The best thing TikTok did is get monsters fired from their jobs, like that one plastic surgeon who got her liscence revoked after not only posting a video of a patient without consent but also botching the surgery in ways thought inconceivable and advising them NOT to seek help for complications.

If family members are coming to the nurse's station instead of using the call button, it's likely because nobody is coming in response to the call button.

Not ALL nurses are mean girls, but most mean girls that I know have become nurses ... this phenomena should be studied

[gem]

My mom is an incredible nurse and puts these bully nurses in their places. She's humiliated and humbled several nurses who thought it was okay to take their issues out on techs or newbies.

Very proud daughter.

[aquapr]

Literally most of the sadistic and cruel bullies either become nurses or police officers... It's scary

[Mh-helu]

This also happens with psychology. Every bully in highschool is suddenly saying that mental health is so important and are studying to be therapists (from a girl studying psychology that can confirm that in her class everyone is either a past bully or a past bullied kid)

[RandomJayne]

I always heard bullies tend to gravitate toward careers that give them power over vulnerable people. That's why it's so prevalent with nurses, people who work with seniors, children, and the disabled, teachers, and cops.

A friend of mine quit the medical field because of how mean and bitchy the other nurses are. And she’s a former Physician’s Assistant. She paid off her student loans, her car, and made enough money to be able to leave and start a business in the countryside. She now bee-keeps and sells the honey at the Farmer’s Market, loves her work.

[graceogilby]

Another aspect is probably the fact that there are more nice nurses at the start, but they don't hold up against the bullying by the mean ones, quit, and then we're left with a higher proportion of mean girls.

[ArtistocraticFool]

In highschool I had a bossy rude friend. She talked bad behind other peoples backs and was boy crazy with a new guy like every few weeks.

Shes a nurse now.
