BREAKING NEWS – Salem, Oregon – An Oregon nurse was placed on administrative leave after she posted a TikTok video shunning basic COVID-19 measures.
The since-deleted post from user @Loveiskind05 showed the nurse wearing scrubs and a stethoscope, with the caption, “When my coworkers find out I still travel, don’t wear a mask when I’m out and let my kids have play dates.” A “duet” of the original TikTok remains online.
Users apparently identified the nurse and then alerted her employer, Salem Health.
In a Facebook post, the hospital thanked community members for reaching out and announced that she had been “placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.”
The unnamed nurse is demanding the names of the people in the community that told the hospital about her post, which prompted her suspension. She referred to the community members as “wimpy cowardly informants that are afraid to die, and taking others with them.”
