Resident Nurse Quits When Coerced Into Taking Another of Their Boss's Shifts, So Boss Can Go to Kid's Basketball Game


A Resident Nurse studying to become Nurse Practitioner has resigned from her position after her boss's condescension and harassment. She tried to express that she could not take yet another shift because she was so exhausted and behind on her studies. Her boss didn't care; she just wanted to go to her kid's basketball game. Whatever the cost. That cost ended up being losing another employee.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/Antiwork subreddit, where it went viral and had, so far, earned 47k upvotes on the popular subreddit. The images of the text message exchange were posted by the Resident Nurse, Reddit user u/serrafinagal. They posted the thread with the title "I'm an RN, I'm studying for my master's to become a Nurse practitioner, I'm done six straight 12-hour night shifts, this is the tip of a whole ShitBerg. I'll do an ama if you want more info."

They went on to express that they had one regret in leaving their job, "[T]his is s job that had 1 upside, the patients who I feel awful for leaving." but it was more important, at the end of the day, that they focus on their wellbeing and their studies to become a Nurse Practitioner.

Commenters were overwhelmingly supportive and gave the posting nurse some great advice and put the boss on blast.
