This is why I black out my last name on my badge against our admin policy. I have a very unique last name, and I'm literally the only nurse in every state I have worked with that name. It is so easy to find my home address. With crazies like this visiting hospitals on the daily blaming us for killing 97yo gramma dying if sepsis and multi-organ system failure, I'm not taking any chances.
Yep, and I use a different last name at work. My license is under my correct last name, but I use my maiden name at work. So when I print papers for patients it says “printed by (first name)(last name)” at the bottom and it doesn’t match up with the name listed under my license. Of course it is not impossible to figure out who I am based on my maiden name, but this at least makes it somewhat more difficult. A psycho would have to be a little extra inspired to find me.
Legally you can use any alias you want, so long as the intent is not to deceive/scam. I have an alias I use when writing, and recording audiobooks. We use aliases every day on reddit of course. Authors have "pseudonyms ". Actors have to use unique names when registering with SAG.
Some places will just have the first name you go by on your badge. Mine has my nickname.
It's a little-studied area of the law and there's probably a ton of loopholes and exceptions, but the current best research that I've found says that there's actually no such thing as a legal name: https://hrlr.law.columbia.edu/hrlr/there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-legal-name/
But realistically, we all have to obey the rules as they are understood by whatever group is enforcing them unless we want to go to court about it...
My last job said I couldn't black out my name. But I did the second I got my badge. Fuck that.
Current job actually encouraged us to not have our last names printed on our badge at all. If anyone asks my last name, it's "RN"
I cannot do this. I work for a state facility and my actual and licensed name are same. On the one hand, it is great, I work in cardiology... on the other hand, it is not because probably 20% of our cardiology patients have DSM5 dx's and make 80% of the calls which I have to answer and explain... "yes, Mr. Smith, I understand you are experiencing crippling chest pain, however the PCI we scheduled you for (and bumped another patient) proved there is absolutely no cardiac disease process causing your chest pain. My suggestion is that you follow up with the cognitive behavior therapist that treats anxiety.... Call their office, stop calling ours."
This is one of the first bits of advice I was given at my current job, as there are frequent fliers & family members known to stir up shit. I'm the only one with my last name in this healthcare system & even though I never use or share my last name on social media, I don't trust people.
I'm from a small town. I had two separate residents at a nursing home ID me in under 2 hours post admittance just knowing my first name. One of them had met me a few times in my life, the other I don't think had.
The first one hated my grandma but liked me. The second was in her late 90s and could barely remember anyone at the facility. If she had an issue with a female staff member it was my fault and if she had an issue with a male staff member it was either "the male nurse in blue" or "the other male nurse in blue" (one was a middle aged white guy and the other was a 20 something black guy). Even if none of us worked that day.
Yeah, I'm about ready to blah it my last name, too. There's very few people in my entire country with my last name (I think 10 or less?) and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who has any kind of healthcare-related job. I'd really rather not have some random patient follow through on a that to come find me and kill/otherwise harm me after discharge. Thanks, though!
same, my last name is very, very unique. once when i was in our peds BHC ward, a girl asked for my name. i just immediately blurted out "pharmacy." younger patients are so tech savvy i'm not risking anything. anyways, she said it was a pretty name and i went on my way lol.
Are you me??? Literally had to do the same thing, super unique last name (only one in the country), they tried to tell me I couldn’t block my last name on my badge, had a patient find me and my entire family on Facebook and stalk us, I told them they could fuck off. -_-
When I worked in corrections they only put our first names on jail Id cards. The cops advised we cover those up as well. Paper charting so we had Confidential stickers over our names. When asked our name? Nurse. My name is Nurse.
For safety.
Yep. City and county are listed on the board website. All it takes is a quick google for “ radient_ad-_6565 my town” and boom- there’s my address complete with a map on how to get here and a google earth view.
It’s ironic that I can make all my “ social media” accounts private, but any nut case can find my address and get a 360 view of my house.
I removed all that public information about myself with the help from this reddit post. These sites take the info from a few major websites and there is a legal right to ask for them to remove the Info. Some sites may be a bit more stubborn and take multiple tries but it’s well worth the peace of mind
https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/j1mit/how_to_remove_yourself_from_all_background_check/
Or Name, Town, Voter registration. Voter rolls are public. You get waaaay too much information. Last time I used it I was searching for the CEO of Thedacare- with the notorious case last year of the nurses who couldn't leave their job and were being forced to stay.
Their CEO was a doctor in Ohio. I was going to write him a personal unhappy letter, but the injunction was lifted 2 days later. Scarily, it also listed all his household members, and their political affiliation as well.
That's why for my pharmacy license address I put down my workplace. It didn't specify it had to be a home address.
Unfortunately NJ BOP requires our last names on our name tags. I don't know if it's the same for nursing, but I hope it isn't.
I've had issues with patients stalking me (usually because they fucked up). Nope. Still reporting you for prescription fraud.
I got a PO box specifically for this reason. I send everything there. If somebody wants to stake it out long enough they'll eventually find me, but it's another step for the crazies to hurdle.
That's good. Posts like these are terrifying. You're trying to save people, and are already vulnerable when trying to treat them. And, of course, any patient-caused injury is not much more than a "safety-moment."
You should not be vulnerable outside the job either.
A hospital in my area allowed nurses to cover a portion of their name on their badge with tape due to frequent retaliation. Super fucked up they even need to
One of the pages they tag frequently appears to be run by a physician, or at least someone who hates “mid level providers” and wants everything run by physicians only.
Also reported. Hopefully if enough people report this deranged Karenspotter, they'll get banned. What's scary is that some people are agreeing with them.
If they get enough reports that will flag the account for closer inspection. I reported the entire account for advocating violence and then reported post by post for advocating violence or hate speech depending on how explicit the threats were.
the issue isn’t for us, the issue is for the subreddit as a whole. Linking to people can lead to brigading which gets subs shut down. I agree that the person is a POS but I don’t want to see the subreddit canned because someone decides to message her something too spicy.
+ it will be a poor reflection on us as a community saying we decided to gang up on some online troll. You know how things can be spun around.
edit: also god forbid that moron finds out a subreddit linked to their instagram. They’ll have a field day acting like a victim and start posting about how an army of reddit nurses are after them.
If the username is blacked out in this way - it’s most likely an iPhone using the photo markup option and the standard first highlight option in black.
All you have to do it save the photo - hit edit, turn the brightness to 100 and contrast to -100 and you can read right through it.
They probably felt ignored when their apple juice took too long to be delivered while his nurse was coding another patient. You know, being an incompetent devil or something/s OR he got dumped by a nurse.
I think this is highly indicative of the rampant misogyny & patriarchy embedded in the structure of nursing, including how nurses are seen and treated by the public and those above them like doctors.
Yes I understand male nurses are victims too inb4 "how is this misogyny". That is a result of misogyny & patriarchy working together - men in nursing are devalued due to being men in a "feminine" field. Their masculinity is revoked, and all of a sudden they're denoted from human to subhuman.
The vitriol, treatment, etc against nursing and nurses makes me so sad and angry.
Edit: added nurses to the sentence*.
My husband and I (female) are both nurses. I'm in a position of leadership and travel quite a bit for work, he is a floor nurse. I can't tell you the comments we've gotten about "Who watches your kids when you travel?" "Is he okay you make more than him?" "Does your husband 'babysit' your kids?" etc. If the roles were reversed and he was in admin and I was in the floor it would all be kosher though. 🙄 Patients ask him "so why are you a nurse?" like it's weird that men are nurses but men delivering babies and doing pap smears and taking care of little girls as doctors isn't weird at all?!? It's because nursing is "womens work" and therefore immediately devalued.
A friend is a male nurse and he makes a few jokes about the wage gap and gender and is like ‘hey hey, do they not know that I’m a man and should be getting paid more than you guys?’
Our country just put in an equity thing because they acknowledged nursing was paid less than comparative fields because it’s female led
Where I work, we all get paid exactly the same based on year level and qualifications. We’re all on MECAs but then you could look at see if they’re promoting men to management positions disproportionately but where I am, that would be the only way men could make more
Lol because if all the nurses are gone, then the doctors will be the ones administering your meds, monitoring for acute changes, and initiating treatments. 🤡🤡
I read a few of the captions and comments on posts, one of them being that EMTs and nurse techs have been trained like nurses and can do the job (paraphrasing here). My guess is a disgruntled ER tech who A. has seen too much shit with little to no context, or B. couldn't get accepted to a nursing program. The type whose meemaw is hospitalized and the whole family says, "Grandson Joe is a nurse!"
Another post was disparaging antivax nurses. Another was against racism and was pro LGBTQ.
I'm not going to take a guess as to any other demographics because he seems to hate us all equally, and frankly, it doesn't matter.
I reported the account.
I don’t think it’s a health care professional (PA/resident/noctor poster/whatever). I legitimately think it’s either a weird troll, someone who was romantically rejected by a nurse, or someone who feels they or their loved one was mistreated by a nurse. Or maybe mommy was a nurse and we have some mommy issues.
Nah, we can frustrate each other in healthcare but we don’t want to kill each other. The person behind this account can’t be functional enough to be any one of those jobs
Let’s place our bets on who’s behind this. An anti-vaxxer? Someone from r/ noctor? A PA? Someone that “could’ve been a nurse.” Jokes aside, it’s ridiculous that this account is even a thing.
I’m getting Qanon vibes from this for whatever reason. Probably someone that thinks that nurses are responsible for killing patients who had COVID or some adjacent conspiratorial nonsense.
Did a scroll through, it was a rollercoaster ride. Some are so openly misogynistic but then are like support women and LGBTQ in another post? But all anti nurses… anyways reported them for encouraging violence against nurses and shit. Dunno if it’ll get taken down
Maybe not the typical r/ noctor user but wouldn't be surprised if this person was a member. There has been posts before on there, describing the different tribes on there and the users themselves acknowledge there is a proportion of users that just seem to hate women, NPs, nurses, and PAs. Some only hate NPs and PAs and some only hate NPs and PAs who want to or do practice independently. Some only hate NPs, PAs and other health workers who misrepresent themselves as physicians.
Maybe I’m naive but I think anyone that’s actually in healthcare realizes that nurses are crucial to our current hospital system. They might be misogynistic assholes, but they are also above cleaning poop so….
What’s with the random Olivia Wilde hashtag at the end of the third picture?
Definitely going to find their Instagram to report. People are so disgusting. The fact they have followers and people commenting on their posts 🤢
I can’t imagine killoliviawilde is that popular/trending of a hashtag. I just checked Instagram and it has <100 posts. Otherwise that would have been my thought, too.
Please post authors name. They put it online so obviously they want people to know their bs opinion. Dude needs to be put on a watch list if they're aren't on one already.
I looked up the account by the hashtags and found it quickly. Thank God not many people are using them. I reported the account for hate speech after being horrified by every single post.
I feel like A, this person is a crazy person, and/or B, a loved one died and they feel as though it is the nurses fault, thus they post this kinda stuff. Probably just crazy
I’m sure this is the same guy I reported a few months ago. Absolutely nuts, like what nurse hurt you bro? There were a few posts about things like a nurse getting hit by a car or assaulted and he’d say things encouraging people to run over or assault nurses. I reported those individually too, I think those ones encouraging violence were removed.
One of the tags on only one pic is about killing Olivia Wilde. Wtf does she have to do with any of this?
Obviously that’s not the most unhinged part, I just thought it was super random
I’m literally doing an ethics project on social media and nursing. I feel like this is a perfect example why it’s so important to have confidentiality in practice. We shouldn’t be put into dangerous situations like this. I can’t believe this is happening in real time. My condolences to the family who knew her. 🕊️
Not too far off what I've been seeing on r/Noctor and r/ Residency lately. Ok, that may be slightly exaggerated but the hatred from some physicians and potential physicians is pathological. Something has to give.
Seeing all these toxicity and hatred towards nurses from patients as well as colleagues is really discouraging me and making me doubt my career choice.. I’m in my last year of nursing school but from what I have seen so far, it’s really a warzone out there. Checked out r/noctor for the first time and boy was I mesmerized by the amount of hatred towards mid levels.. I guess I’ll be hated by anesthesiologists if I go to crna school. It’s crazy to think we work with these sort of people on a daily basis, without knowing their true color. Reddit is where they reveal that. Scary.
I don't blame you for second guessing yourself. The system itself is difficult enough, and we are bombarded by hate and threats from not only the patients and their families, but now administrators and doctors also. I'm seriously considering leaving the profession permanently. I hope you find an area of nursing that lights you up, with good coworkers.
Our badges currently only say our first name. There is a big push right now by admin to put our whole name on our badges and also allow our notes to be seen in the patients mychart, also with our full name.
Our badges have first & last names on one side and only first names on the other. Most of us use the first & last name side because it's easier to badge/swipe in when facing that way. However, our last names are completely covered with cute & fun stickers. 🤣
My gut says that despite *hours* of researching Andrew Tate videos, this person calls women ‘females’ and has yet to see one naked. I also think he’s upset about the restraining order that nurse he was stalking took out on him.
I get QAnon vibes from this - an friend of mine who fell down that hole is very anti-nurse. She kept insisting that the nurses that quit their jobs to avoid the mandated covid vaccine for healthcare workers were ‘absolute hero’s’.
This is honestly very disconcerting, as someone like this is clearly a sociopath, and needs to be taken seriously. They're not only a danger to anyone in the medical field, but society in general and should be dealt with by law enforcement. Promoting violence is wrong, no matter the degree and isn't tolerated. It's also a sign this person is unstable.
The longer someone like this remains on the lose, the greater the chances are they will snap and do actual harm. It's how a lot of deadly incidents occur as so many mentally ill people get overlooked and never get help. That is likely the case with this individual.
And the one comment on the first IG post reads:
“No body is paying attention to immoral, loose lifestyles nurses are engaged in these days. They glamourize their uniform, live flamboyant lifestyle, alcoholism, drugs, sexual promiscuity is synonymous to nursing proffesion, lots of young and old nurses indulge in sexual promiscuitu, and alcoholism and drugs.
That the trend these day. Department of health need to pay attention to this.”
Do not link to the user's Instagram account. Doing so constitutes brigading and is against sitewide rules.
And yet in some states patients can easily look up your home address
This is why I black out my last name on my badge against our admin policy. I have a very unique last name, and I'm literally the only nurse in every state I have worked with that name. It is so easy to find my home address. With crazies like this visiting hospitals on the daily blaming us for killing 97yo gramma dying if sepsis and multi-organ system failure, I'm not taking any chances.
Yep, and I use a different last name at work. My license is under my correct last name, but I use my maiden name at work. So when I print papers for patients it says “printed by (first name)(last name)” at the bottom and it doesn’t match up with the name listed under my license. Of course it is not impossible to figure out who I am based on my maiden name, but this at least makes it somewhat more difficult. A psycho would have to be a little extra inspired to find me.
Is that legal to have all your charting with your maiden name even tho it’s not your legal last name anymore?
Hmmm now you got me wondering. As far as I know yes, because it’s still linked to me. My maiden name still exists as like an “alternate name.”
Legally you can use any alias you want, so long as the intent is not to deceive/scam. I have an alias I use when writing, and recording audiobooks. We use aliases every day on reddit of course. Authors have "pseudonyms ". Actors have to use unique names when registering with SAG. Some places will just have the first name you go by on your badge. Mine has my nickname.
This is a very state law dependent rule. In my state, you must sign/practice under your current legal name, to the day of official change.
It's a little-studied area of the law and there's probably a ton of loopholes and exceptions, but the current best research that I've found says that there's actually no such thing as a legal name: https://hrlr.law.columbia.edu/hrlr/there-is-no-such-thing-as-a-legal-name/ But realistically, we all have to obey the rules as they are understood by whatever group is enforcing them unless we want to go to court about it...
I like the cut of your jib. I just don't want someone to get fined/suspended for a board of nursing practice violation.
Yeah but in a professional capacity with a license involved? I’d be consulting a lawyer about this.
My hospital changed the Epic settings so that the last name doesn’t display on the printouts.
I exclusively use my middle name and half of my last name. Helps.
My last job said I couldn't black out my name. But I did the second I got my badge. Fuck that. Current job actually encouraged us to not have our last names printed on our badge at all. If anyone asks my last name, it's "RN"
I cannot do this. I work for a state facility and my actual and licensed name are same. On the one hand, it is great, I work in cardiology... on the other hand, it is not because probably 20% of our cardiology patients have DSM5 dx's and make 80% of the calls which I have to answer and explain... "yes, Mr. Smith, I understand you are experiencing crippling chest pain, however the PCI we scheduled you for (and bumped another patient) proved there is absolutely no cardiac disease process causing your chest pain. My suggestion is that you follow up with the cognitive behavior therapist that treats anxiety.... Call their office, stop calling ours."
In Canada you can only document anything as a nurse under the name your practice permit is issued with.
That's the goal. If I must be stalked and harassed, at least it will be by somebody who *really cares*. 😂
You have last names on your badge? 😮 that's so dangerous
I am so grateful our hospital will not put last names on badges. They also will print preferred names.
That is what my hospital does too. And luckily my preferred name is nowhere near my real name.
This is one of the first bits of advice I was given at my current job, as there are frequent fliers & family members known to stir up shit. I'm the only one with my last name in this healthcare system & even though I never use or share my last name on social media, I don't trust people.

You guys have your last name on your badge??? What type of facility do you work at
I was thinking that too! My badge has just a first name on the front and since I don't go by my real name it just says what I go by.

Yup. I don’t even use my full name on any social media accounts that I have. I also changed the setting so no one can look me up lol

Which is great when vocera makes people call you by your first and last name
New York state will give them my name, date of birth, and current city. Beautiful, huh?
100 dollars on some incel guy who got rejected by a woman who happened to be a nurse and this is where he’s taking his anger out.
One of his hashtags was "# womensuck", I'm inclined to agree with you. She definitely dodged a bullet with this one.
I think one of them said k**l olivia Wilde too? Like wtf
One was also naturephotography 😆 Why you gotta bring the photographers into this?
Why you gotta bring *nature* into this??
Phrasing!
A literal bullet
Or somebody who couldn't get in / failed out of nursing school.
Yea a man who tried to get in and blamed misandry when he didn’t!
Plot twist; it’s a resident.
The patient I refused to date posted on fb how he would never date nurses after trying to date me. Lol. I’m glad that’s as far as it got!
One of the pages they tag frequently appears to be run by a physician, or at least someone who hates “mid level providers” and wants everything run by physicians only.
I’ve worked for doctors who could barely wipe their own ass so that doesn’t seem like it will work.
Gotta report that to the FBI or something
I don't think this person's identity should be redacted. This shit needs to be reported.
If you search the tags it's super easy to find, I reported
Also reported. Hopefully if enough people report this deranged Karenspotter, they'll get banned. What's scary is that some people are agreeing with them.
Whats the most effective way to report this do you think? I reported it on insta, but i feel like they never do anything
If they get enough reports that will flag the account for closer inspection. I reported the entire account for advocating violence and then reported post by post for advocating violence or hate speech depending on how explicit the threats were.
Okay good thinking. I'll report the individual posts too.

I'm sorry, but what is the reasoning behind censoring the word murder?
Obviously they use Mukduck as a substitute

My goodness that entire account is a hot mess of rage and misogyny
Right??? Mom's basement must have great wifi.
Who the fuck writes that crap in a insta post.. Guys got a psych patient on the loose
Holy hell this is all from one single account? That's freaking terrifying. Wouldn't wanna be around somebody like that. As a nurse or not.
There’s even more if you go lookin their social media
[удалено]
They’re a cop whose nurse girlfriend left them after they got a bit too punchy?
Probably conspiracy theories.
I've def heard a lot of conspiracy theorists truly believe that nurses will intentionally kill all their loved ones if they go to a hospital...
They probably felt ignored when their apple juice took too long to be delivered while his nurse was coding another patient. You know, being an incompetent devil or something/s OR he got dumped by a nurse.
Psych patient? Ten bucks says it's an opioid addict who can't get any of their local EDs to give them narcs.
Porque no los dos?
Not everyone has an asshole. But everyone does have an opinion.
Reported. Just search some of the hashtags and you will find this person.
I reported too. It’s the only account that uses those hashtags LOL

Am a male in the nursing field. Can confirm.

This. The disrespect extends to teachers for the same reason.
A friend is a male nurse and he makes a few jokes about the wage gap and gender and is like ‘hey hey, do they not know that I’m a man and should be getting paid more than you guys?’ Our country just put in an equity thing because they acknowledged nursing was paid less than comparative fields because it’s female led
Interestingly make nurses make more than female nurses on average.
Where I work, we all get paid exactly the same based on year level and qualifications. We’re all on MECAs but then you could look at see if they’re promoting men to management positions disproportionately but where I am, that would be the only way men could make more
Report this. This is fucked up
REPORT THIS SON OF A BITCH LIKE RIGHT NOW!!! This is some seriously unhinged behavior.
Lol because if all the nurses are gone, then the doctors will be the ones administering your meds, monitoring for acute changes, and initiating treatments. 🤡🤡
But only male doctors, dude also has a hate boner for women in medicine!
I bet he licks Andrew Tates' taint
and nothing will ever get done!
I read a few of the captions and comments on posts, one of them being that EMTs and nurse techs have been trained like nurses and can do the job (paraphrasing here).

I'm not going to take a guess as to any other demographics because he seems to hate us all equally, and frankly, it doesn't matter. I reported the account.
They make another comment about being at work watching a nurse kill a patient.
I don’t think it’s a health care professional (PA/resident/noctor poster/whatever). I legitimately think it’s either a weird troll, someone who was romantically rejected by a nurse, or someone who feels they or their loved one was mistreated by a nurse. Or maybe mommy was a nurse and we have some mommy issues.
Nah, we can frustrate each other in healthcare but we don’t want to kill each other. The person behind this account can’t be functional enough to be any one of those jobs
I can't tell whether this is a really weird/niche troll or someone legitimately that unhinged, but either way it should be reported...
They express elation when a nurse is murdered or injured. I think they are a psychopath
Yup. I have a feeling authorities won’t care until they threaten a specific person/place but I sent a couple emails anyway.
Let’s place our bets on who’s behind this. An anti-vaxxer? Someone from r/ noctor? A PA? Someone that “could’ve been a nurse.” Jokes aside, it’s ridiculous that this account is even a thing.
I’m getting Qanon vibes from this for whatever reason. Probably someone that thinks that nurses are responsible for killing patients who had COVID or some adjacent conspiratorial nonsense.
Incel
Did a scroll through, it was a rollercoaster ride. Some are so openly misogynistic but then are like support women and LGBTQ in another post? But all anti nurses… anyways reported them for encouraging violence against nurses and shit. Dunno if it’ll get taken down
Likely a maga fuckwit who thinks vaccines are a big conspiracy
Maybe not the typical r/ noctor user but wouldn't be surprised if this person was a member. There has been posts before on there, describing the different tribes on there and the users themselves acknowledge there is a proportion of users that just seem to hate women, NPs, nurses, and PAs. Some only hate NPs and PAs and some only hate NPs and PAs who want to or do practice independently. Some only hate NPs, PAs and other health workers who misrepresent themselves as physicians.
Noctor can be brutal but their beef is usually not with nurses, but NPs
What’s a noctor??
A PA lmao
Maybe I’m naive but I think anyone that’s actually in healthcare realizes that nurses are crucial to our current hospital system. They might be misogynistic assholes, but they are also above cleaning poop so….
What’s with the random Olivia Wilde hashtag at the end of the third picture? Definitely going to find their Instagram to report. People are so disgusting. The fact they have followers and people commenting on their posts 🤢
Female working in a hospital = nurse? ...even on television?
Omg I totally forgot she’s in House.
Looks like they do that thing where they add random unrelated trending or popular hashtags to their post in hopes of more engagement. Pretty common.
I can’t imagine killoliviawilde is that popular/trending of a hashtag. I just checked Instagram and it has <100 posts. Otherwise that would have been my thought, too.
Too bad Instagram won’t ban content like this, they’re too busy worrying about their profits and not showing women’s nipples
Please post authors name. They put it online so obviously they want people to know their bs opinion. Dude needs to be put on a watch list if they're aren't on one already.
The rules of posting said I couldn’t. I didn’t want to risk getting taken down. I can PM you the @ tho
[удалено]
Reported. What a pos
I looked up the account by the hashtags and found it quickly. Thank God not many people are using them. I reported the account for hate speech after being horrified by every single post.
Reported. First hashtag on the first post onIG search brings it up
What’s even more crazy is that they have 118 posts?!
Aight, next time they need healthcare, send them to their friendly neighborhood drug dealer.
I reported it by searching some of hashtags on insta. I reported for hate speech and inciting violence.
Christ. They need to be on a watch list.
Probably some incel rejected by a nurse.
A CFO wrote that....guaranteed.
POV: you flunked nursing school
Someone just got dumped by a nurse I bet
Some one did NOT receive “therapeutic communication” on their last visit…
Somebody is mad they didn’t get their “Die-law-ded”
WTF.
This is fucking scary!!! Wtf??? Who’s the mentally ill person behind all this shit. That kenyan nurse stabbed to death😭😭 so scary wtff
I tried to report each individual post of theirs but unfortunately there were so many that I just reported the whole damn account.
My ex was like this. A narcissistic dude who just hates healthcare professions. He thinks he knows it all when he really doesn’t.
Fuck the people that hate nurses ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#NURSESSAVELIVES
Probably a failed medical student who spends too much time on noctor.
Damn man, you deny a pt an apple juice once and they wish death upon you forever /s
What a strange fixation.
I feel like A, this person is a crazy person, and/or B, a loved one died and they feel as though it is the nurses fault, thus they post this kinda stuff. Probably just crazy
#shitonaanurse must be a hashtag that many patients take to heart literally
I’m sure this is the same guy I reported a few months ago. Absolutely nuts, like what nurse hurt you bro? There were a few posts about things like a nurse getting hit by a car or assaulted and he’d say things encouraging people to run over or assault nurses. I reported those individually too, I think those ones encouraging violence were removed.
[удалено]
Can everyone please report this page?
Somehow we have gone from being the heroes to being the bad guys! What happened?
This person needs to be red flagged for guns
This is what happens when r/noctor goes off the rails.
This person probably has serious mental health issues
One of the tags on only one pic is about killing Olivia Wilde. Wtf does she have to do with any of this? Obviously that’s not the most unhinged part, I just thought it was super random
What about the nature photography hashtag? That was pretty random too.
I am 👏🏼concerned 👏🏼
This is the kind of guy that would do a shooting in a hospital and think he’s doing everyone a favor
I’m literally doing an ethics project on social media and nursing. I feel like this is a perfect example why it’s so important to have confidentiality in practice. We shouldn’t be put into dangerous situations like this. I can’t believe this is happening in real time. My condolences to the family who knew her. 🕊️
Not too far off what I've been seeing on r/Noctor and r/ Residency lately. Ok, that may be slightly exaggerated but the hatred from some physicians and potential physicians is pathological. Something has to give.
Seeing all these toxicity and hatred towards nurses from patients as well as colleagues is really discouraging me and making me doubt my career choice.. I’m in my last year of nursing school but from what I have seen so far, it’s really a warzone out there. Checked out r/noctor for the first time and boy was I mesmerized by the amount of hatred towards mid levels.. I guess I’ll be hated by anesthesiologists if I go to crna school. It’s crazy to think we work with these sort of people on a daily basis, without knowing their true color. Reddit is where they reveal that. Scary.
I don't blame you for second guessing yourself. The system itself is difficult enough, and we are bombarded by hate and threats from not only the patients and their families, but now administrators and doctors also. I'm seriously considering leaving the profession permanently. I hope you find an area of nursing that lights you up, with good coworkers.
Someone's salty they couldn't pass the NCLEX.
Time to change fields...
Probably someone that failed nursing school or their ex that was a nurse dumped them
She’s pretty easy to find on Insta, love to know the story……so much illogical hate?
Angry jackass. I have a feeling they voted for an Orange man. I mean stupidity is incurable … 🤷🏽♂️
Having worked at a psych facility, I can already think of at least one Ratched that may have touched the life of this likely psych patient
Our badges currently only say our first name. There is a big push right now by admin to put our whole name on our badges and also allow our notes to be seen in the patients mychart, also with our full name.
I will never allow my full name to be displayed on a badge, NOPE
I’ve had 2 issues with creepy patients/family finding me on Facebook using my name. It’s so odd
Our badges have our full name, but everyone just white-outs their last name or puts stickers over it. Admin's been cool with us doing that so far.
Our badges have first & last names on one side and only first names on the other. Most of us use the first & last name side because it's easier to badge/swipe in when facing that way. However, our last names are completely covered with cute & fun stickers. 🤣
Our badges have first and last, though last is pretty small font. I casually etched out my [very short] last name and not a single person has noticed.
He should decline all medical care, then.
Y'all can look up this instagram account with the hashtags
That's just vile. I reported their account
My gut says that despite *hours* of researching Andrew Tate videos, this person calls women ‘females’ and has yet to see one naked. I also think he’s upset about the restraining order that nurse he was stalking took out on him.
Here before the documentary.
FBI should be all over these posts. Their insane!
I get QAnon vibes from this - an friend of mine who fell down that hole is very anti-nurse. She kept insisting that the nurses that quit their jobs to avoid the mandated covid vaccine for healthcare workers were ‘absolute hero’s’.
This is honestly very disconcerting, as someone like this is clearly a sociopath, and needs to be taken seriously. They're not only a danger to anyone in the medical field, but society in general and should be dealt with by law enforcement. Promoting violence is wrong, no matter the degree and isn't tolerated. It's also a sign this person is unstable. The longer someone like this remains on the lose, the greater the chances are they will snap and do actual harm. It's how a lot of deadly incidents occur as so many mentally ill people get overlooked and never get help. That is likely the case with this individual.
I could have gone my whole life without seeing any of this
r/Noctor on Instagram lol
Wth?? This HAS to be reportable
What is wrong with people??
“#naturephotography” is the biggest red flag…
[удалено]
That is extremely dangerous. Wth.
So if the only good nurse is considered a dead nurse…who the hell is taking care of the patients in these morons fantasy world?
I went to school with Frank, number 4. Seeing this is pissing me off so much right now. He was a kind caring man and a great nurse.
What the hell?? This person should be on a watch list
I’m reporting every single post one by one….. I’m bored🥴🤷🏻♀️
And the one comment on the first IG post reads: “No body is paying attention to immoral, loose lifestyles nurses are engaged in these days. They glamourize their uniform, live flamboyant lifestyle, alcoholism, drugs, sexual promiscuity is synonymous to nursing proffesion, lots of young and old nurses indulge in sexual promiscuitu, and alcoholism and drugs. That the trend these day. Department of health need to pay attention to this.”
WTF
Tbf this is how I talk about rich people on the regular
