Nurse John - the Canadian TikToker using humour to highlight challenges of the job - BBC News

I appreciate his videos. I am not a nurse but I am a Mother of 3 who works outside of the home. I equate patient care like I care for my children and loved ones. It is a truly hard but rewarding thing to be a caretaker for someone else. There truly is a burnout. nurses are so needed and I truly hope that they win their fight and can earn the wages they deserve.

Humor is a great way to connect and share

I looovee nurse John!!

I love watching nurse John. We are all feeling the stress with all fields because of short staffed.

I can relate to a mental breakdown
I was blamed for everything went wrong to a patient although I reported to a Dr of what was wrong, she came attended to what's was reported
The only sin I did was to knock off and go home
Everything that went wrong that day they blamed me

Being a nurse is like being in the mob, you can leave whenever you want but you’re never truly out of it

Appreciate your humor. Is so true based on 37 years as nurse.

If i ever find myself unwell in Canada i hope you're my Nurse!!!!!

I wish this guy and all health workers the best. Its usually a thankless job and a never ending line of patient faces. You guys are true heroes of the community along with ambulance and fire fighter personnel. Thankyou for everything you do, thankyou for going that extra mile when you feel exhausted but know the effort helps the people you help, recover faster. Thankyou for being kind, caring. You are truly awesome.

Check out Steveio who is a US comedian (former nurse) and uses his nursing experience to be a comedian... I came across Nurse John now

I cannot lie, I pivoted to information technology back in this past year, and while I have not started working officially in the profession, I do not miss working in Healthcare for eight years. Nurse John stated it very well. I miss taking care of people, but I don’t miss not being taken care of by employers and the situation that you go back to every day just for the sake of having income. I am quickly seeing that burnout is happening everywhere, regardless of the industry. Overall, I am happy for people finding success in other areas and other industries. People do not think that creatives can make a living off of making videos or content online but I think we have a ton of evidence that way of thinking is antiquated. 😅 Blessings Nurse John ❤

Nurse john is amazing all my mom struggles as a nurse i see in his videos ,its all true, now i understand why she was always so.angry and stressed

LOVE HIS VIDEOS

I retired from a 31 year career as an RN in January 2021. I miss my coworkers and some of the patients but nothing else.

So since he’s a good person and won’t throw shade, I will! He also doesn’t record at work or disclose anyone’s personal information! Unlike some of these creators that are no longer employed, John still has a job ijs lol Nurse John is the shit my mom was a nurse for like 30 years and his videos show why I didn’t follow in her footsteps 😂😂😂

MONTREAL!!?? J’aimerais te rencontrer!!!!

Take care of you first dear friend, and stay safe ❤❤❤

I’m not a nurse but I’ve worked in a healthcare environment. He’s defo on point when it comes to the struggles not only nurses but for sure other healthcare jobs. Moreover, my mom is a nurse and could somehow relate!

He is my nursing Superman.

i loved being a dialysis nurse but bcoz of the working conditions it got to my health and i just had to go before I'd be killed by what i love most.... i miss it alot tho

Omg congratulations nurse john!

So many ppl can relate to him that’s why he’s so popular. This is the social experiment

I've been watching this man on TikTok for a year. And I never knew he was canadian i just knew it was a 🇵🇭 nurse

I love you, nurse John!

I love nurse John ❤

Thank you Nurse John for your service with the healthcare community. You and others like you are underappreciated. I wish the employers of these tireless medical professionals would pay them what they are actually worth and take heed of their need to attend to their mental and emotional health. I hope you are doing well Nurse John. We love you and all of your colleagues!💖💕💙💜💛💚

As soon as i saw his face,i knew he's Filipino then i heard his last name, confirmed!! 😂 Gays in our country are like that when they talk, its like over acting 😂

Love him!!

Nurses took excellent care of my Mom here in Canada, many were from PH. And our governments have decimated our health care systems over the last decades and it contributes to too much stress and chaos for nurses and health care professionals. And our government still doesn't care.

That’s beautiful he has a purpose in his humour not only followers ❤

I love Nurse John. And he can cook!

Love Nurse John and his videos. Heres hoping it will get better so you can go back to the job you love.

I feel all shift workers can relate 😊

So glad he's getting recognition for putting a spotlight on the issues facing nurses. He's not preaching ,just teaching in a very relatable manner. His content is compelling.

Educator. It's relatable. Love his channel.

I retired from nursing at the age of 33 and burned all my scrubs. I salute all the nurses that are still going strong. God bless you

Absolutely love your videos and appreciate what you do ❤

Found him about 8 months ago and EAT UP his conent!!❤❤❤❤
I am no longer a caretaker, but was for many decades and my closest friends are all nurses 😊 My daughter is pre med but works in our local ER on breaks, so I am her soundboard and I really feel what he's expressing in these video's.... although, my besties might wish I'd stop sending them shorts of his 😅 They are too busy!!
Love to all those on the Frontline and those who had to step away, THANK YOU 💜🩵
