Nurse in US claps back at trolls

In a video posted on TikTok by @itotoh, the registered nurse proudly showcased his workplace, gushing over his accomplishments.

Formerly mocked for his career choice, the dedicated nurse proved his doubters wrong by excelling in the field.

He relocated to the United States where he capitalised on the opportunities abroad and blossomed into a successful nurse.

Now, according to him, his hourly wage at his workplace surpasses what his critics earn in a month.

In his words:

“Me flexing on everybody that used to laugh at me back then in Nigeria because I was a ‘male nursing student’. Now I make their monthly minimum wage in one hour of working as a registered nurse in USA. Jokes on them now.”

The TikTok video sparked an outpouring of comments on social media.

@Solomon Kassa said:

“Bro am about to take my NCLEX, wish me good luck.”

@ifex stated:

“Did you travel straight from Nigeria to US. I guess you have to write NCLEX for that but NCLEX isn’t written in Nigeria. Please enlighten me I be male nurse like you.”
