Nurse placed on leave after posting TikTok video bragging that she doesn’t wear a mask or follow Covid rules
A NURSE has been placed on leave after bragging about not wearing a mask in a TikTok video which has since gone viral.
The unnamed Oregon nurse shunned basic measures in the controversial clip as she gloated about traveling and letting her children have "play dates."
'OVER THIS MASK'
In another alarming video from October, the same nurse can be seen dressed in scrubs seemingly taking a break during her shift.
The video is captioned: "When coworkers come at me for not wearing my mask when I'm outside of work ... over this mask at this point."
A screengrab from the video was uploaded by a woman who claims her mother-in-law receives cancer treatment at the same hospital where the nurse worked.
"She [the nurse] posted the above on 10/24 clearly stating her co workers were 'aware' of her blatant disregard and endangering of patients - it's pretty sick and frankly horrifying," the woman wrote.
Although many applauded the hospital for the action taken, others suggested she should have been fired.
'FIRE HER!'
“There should be no investigation. Fire her and take away any of her licenses. She doesn’t deserve to be a nurse if all she’s going to do is endanger some of the most immunocompromised people,” one person said.
"She deserves to be fired! She is working with the most immunocompromised crowd of people at their absolute worst and then bragging about it on Social Media?! I honestly hope she’s never able to get a job in the medical field ever again!" another woman fumed.
"Paid leave so she can travel some more and put patients at even more risk when she returns?" someone asked.

A woman who claims to have identified the nurse uploaded the video in a "duet" version to her own TikTok page under the caption: "Imagine being an oncology nurse and bragging about not taking precautions?"
She added: "To each their own, but why would you brag about it to others?"
