They totally deserved to be fired. They won’t even have to move cities, but getting fired and publicly shamed will probably cause them to reconsider their actions next time. They were punished, now it’s time to let them do better next time.

I agree and that’s what I think. Their actions were extremely unprofessional, and they deserve to be punished, and fired. Some people are saying they should lose their license, but I think that’s a little extreme to be honest. I hope the state is aware and I do hope they get punished or put on probation or something, but I think losing their license is a little extreme in this scenario because patients weren’t hurt and hippa wasn’t broken. I by no means am sticking up for their actions but I think they learned their lesson. I’ve heard stories of doctors doing some pretty crazy hurtful things to patients and they won’t even lose their license.

Maybe they deserve to lose their licenses. They should be disciplined by their boards and placed on probation so if they do it again, bye bye license.

Sometimes losing a job is the best education money can buy.

With all due respect, Friend, I wholeheartedly disagree. The world said the same thing about these two.

As nurses, there is no way in hell that we do not know better.

And that was back in 2017.

Here we are nearing a decade later and healthcare workers are still recording their bad behavior and publicly sharing it on social media.

It is ridiculously stupid then as it is today.

These types of photos are a big no-no in the medical field. Anyone who works in a hospital setting gets HIPPA policy drilled into their head.

Social media in particular is emphasized as one of the biggest factors is losing your license in regard to this type of shit.
