A nurse who worked at a nursing facility in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was fired after posting TikTok videos in which she spoke about unplugging a patient’s ventilator in order to charge her phone, giving patients extra sleeping pills so she could get more sleep, and “slapping patients for a million dollars.”

Kelly Morris, employed at The Citadel in Winston-Salem, posted social media under the name “bubblegumkelz,” as reported by The Independent. She also reportedly created a GoFundMe page titled, “Fired over a TikTok?!?”
