A nurse posted a TikTok of her reaction after a patient died and the response was not a positive one.
The New York Post noted the video was posted to TikTok on June 17 by user olivia_tylerr33.
It was captioned, “It never gets easier.”
The video shows the nurse pacing back in forth in the hallway of a hospital.
“Lost a patient today,” the caption on the video stated.
She proceeds to lean up against the wall as the video explains, “Shake off, you have 5 more hours.”
A song plays during the video with the lyrics, “I put my armor on, show you how strong I am. I put my armor on, I’ll show you that I am. I’m unstoppable.”

According to the Post, the TikTok user has since deleted her account.
One Twitter user replied to the video, saying, “Hold on lemme re-enact my reaction to get it on film and get internet points for it.”
Another mocked the video, adding, “My patient is flatlining… I need Tik Tok setup STAT.”
In another response, a user argued, “Not a single nurse does this ever. We have several patients to care for and when we’re dealing with patient A, we’re thinking about patient B and C. No time for this and quite frankly you get very hardened to death. This is attention seeking 101.”

One user appeared to suggest the video is not all that cringey.
“Everyone is calling this cringe etc, but I don’t feel like it’s automatically performative or whatever. I’m sure it’s hard to lose a patient. And I’ve taken selfies while crying my eyes out. Sometimes you just wanna feel seen when you’re going through it,” the user tweeted.
