Nurses are the unsung heroes of the healthcare world. Day in and day out, they’re on the front lines, administering care, offering solace, and making critical decisions that impact lives. Their unwavering commitment to patient care is evident in every compassionate touch and soothing word.
Yet, paradoxically, many nurses find themselves in a tug of war with the very institutions they serve. Instead of being met with recognition and fair compensation, they often face paycheck discrepancies and bureaucratic hoops.
Recently, one nurse LexiLuther38 (@lexi.luthorr) shared a Tiktok of her most recent grievance with her hospital, when they tried to reclaim $8,288 in overpaid wages.
“I don’t think I’ve ever had a paycheck that’s actually correct from this place. If I did my job the way they did I would have a trail of dead bodies behind me.”
“They’re saying that they want $8,288 back from me … I definitely don’t owe them that. They’re saying that they’re going to take it out of our paychecks, which means that basically I would work for free for like two months to two-and-a-half months to pay that back. And as a single mom with a mortgage who doesn’t get child support … I can’t live on that.”
