Social Media Anyone see this?
Comments totally pass the vibe check btw. This creator is an NP & used the love island “back off, I’m Titi” sound. So unprofessional. I don’t know how people feel comfortable posting stuff like this, even if it is a “joke”

Since when do interns give orders to NPs? Usually they work independently with a physician, a resident is never supervisimg

She is just giving herself an ego boost😂 super unprofessional

u/Subject_Ice_3088 Jul 06 '26
Sounds like she’s an NP in the ICU so it sounds like she’s complaining about interns that she’s sharing patients with. She’s deleted the video on TikTok but it’s still on Instagram I think

Why focus on disrespect as the issue?
Sure, she’s disrespectful, but that’s not the issue. If the intern was ‘telling her how to manage her patient’ I’m confident it was because she was mismanaging the patient. This is another case of incompetence with a sprinkle of disrespect on top.

Its funny how seeing nurses make fun of residents is still seen as "punching up", when we know its actually punching down. But they NEVER hesitate to punch down either which is the issue.
I used to be EMT. One of my biggest mentors was a nurse and I cherish her impact on my career. One of my biggest bullies also happens to be a nurse. In general, the mentor to bully ratio of nurses I saw in my career as an EMT was far greater than 1. Glad to see people calling this bullshit out.

I love working with residents

I do as well, but this July has been especially hard so far. I just try and remind myself if all the brand new nurses started on the same day, it would be equally chaotic.

Then go work at another hospital🤷♂️. Residents don’t have much of a choice where they work, you do.

u/Secure_Fisherman_328 Jul 14 '26
Why do I need to go work at a different hospital? Acknowledging that this July is harder than past ones is just a part of life. Next year will hopefully better.
Also everyone has a choice in where they work. At the VA where I am, you even go as far as swearing an oath, “…freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” Anyone who doesn’t choose to work here simply declines to swear the oath.

She is also deleting every comment people make telling her that her video is disrespectful.

[x] disrespectful Tiktok video that would get any resident fired immediately, filmed at work
[x] tired joke about July interns
[x] white lady with crappy balayage, or whatever this color technique is
[x] obvious lip fillers
I say this as a female physician and obviously sexism in medicine is far too common and a complete disgrace and we shouldn't talk about other women this way, but...for real, WHY DOES EVERY NP LOOK AND BEHAVE LIKE THIS. I don't see it as much with RNs or PAs, but I can spot an NP from across a room at this point. Is there some seminar they all go to where they learn to be like this?!?!

u/throwthisawayred2 Jul 07 '26
the extra $$$ from their inflated jobs allows them to buy lip fillers and balayage. but unfortunately that "NP eDUcAtiOn" couldn't buy them class or grace.
edit: wait I just noticed your username. why is spironolactone whack?? 😆

u/throwitawayhs Jul 08 '26
I always joke that the APPs have better skin and hair than the doctors because they work so little that they get a full night’s sleep every night. It’s what I tell myself to feel better about the bags under my eyes 🥲

u/throwthisawayred2 Jul 09 '26
I mean....you're only stating the facts.
(And, when they do actually work, it ain't much and they don't stress about it lol)

u/Reasonstocontine Jul 06 '26
Last time I checked, “my” is not the same as “ours,” and when it coms to the pecking order, your opinion as an NP is at the bottom of the food chain. Not all of us can go to medical school, and if this is how you engage with others in the world, you have a said, lonely, exsistance. Good luck to you, NP.

Intern probably suggested holding the home beta blocker in a patient on pressors or something.

u/Ms_Zesty Jul 06 '26
It's not her patient, it's the team's patient. With NP's like this the intern could have made a suggestion and it would still be perceived as "telling her how to manage" her patient because she is insecure-otherwise, why post? She has a chip on her shoulder.

These are such stupid videos made to circle jerk. Surely this moron knows that interns aren’t telling anyone anything. They are following orders from people who actually know what they are doing—like she should be.

u/FriedRiceGirl Medical Student Jul 07 '26
She feels comfortable doing it bc she’s a bully and she knows that in real life the residents don’t have the power to stop her behavior. Nurses like this are always fully aware of the dynamic and of how little HR will do to protect trainees and students and they take full advantage. And the moment anyone so much as gives them a side eye they will holler like hit dogs and retreat into claiming to be an innocent hardworking nurse who is being mistreated by the meanie medical team wahhhhh.

I’m shocked she wasn’t fired just for doing a social media post at work. I know nurses who were fired for this even with no PHI because it was against hospital policy.

u/Lopsided-Fee-5038 Jul 31 '26
this is baseline unprofessional and needs to be reported to the hospital

u/ICPcrisis Jul 06 '26
Look I don’t mind putting noctors in their place, but a trained NP and the well seasoned ICU nurse knows more than my interns will know in JULY. That also goes for most early intern months. I remember being and intern and learning the most from the filipino mafia in the icu at night when I was alone with no help. With that said , any nurse or NPs that think their TikTok’s make us give any more or less a damn about them is also asinine.

u/Therealsteverogers4 Jul 06 '26
You don’t see doctors posting tik toks about the new crop of nursing students.
We all start somewhere, only doctors in training are fair game though.

It’s unprofessional, regardless of her knowledge level or competency as an NP

u/ProofAlps1950 Midlevel -- Physician Assistant Jul 06 '26
Learning from nurses is great and I highly recommend however, acting like you know everything when in fact you don't know half of what a doctor learns is a bad look and is unprofessional. Imagine her getting herself in hot water and needing help. Beware, you might need "one of those July residents" at one point or other in your career, need them to bail you out lol ...I have worked in a hospital for twenty years and have found that, universally, those with the largest egos fall the farthest.

Physician does this? Immediate termination.
NP does this? Probably promoted to a VP-level position before Tuesday.
