Nurse Vanishes After Stealing N@RC$

Hinzugefügt: 2026-06-01

[00:00:03]Story time. So some time ago, I started a story on TikTokie Instagram and Facebook. I will do a really quick run through so that we can get to the brunt of part two. But for those of you who have not seen part one, I will include enough information for part two to make sense. Understand? So sometime ago, I was a CNA and I was working the 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. shift. CNAs often worked 8 hours at this facility and nurses worked 12. So we were often coming either in the very beginning of a nurse's shift and leaving in the middle of their shift or were coming in the middle of their shift and were watching them leave at the end of theirs while we stay until 11.

[00:00:49]Anyways, I was working as a CNA and I was going in for 3 p.m. I get there, I get to the floor that I was hired to work on. And what also happens frequently is that you'll get to the floor that you were hired to work on only to be told that you're being pulled to another unit.

[00:01:06]Honestly, this happens with nurses as well, more so with specific health care uh companies, but that's another story for another day.

[00:01:15]So I get there, I'm pulled to another unit to be told that I am sitting with a patient. This patient was experiencing the urge to unal alive himself. And that is one of the reasons that an individual would need a sitter.

[00:01:40]I personally took those very seriously and I hated doing it because of how seriously I took it because sometimes I didn't feel like I was equipped. Sometimes I felt like what was needed, what was an absolute necess necessity, excuse me, was someone that specialized in in mental health and could have a conversation with this individual.

[00:02:03]I'm just a sitter. Like I was thinking I'm just a sitter. I'm just a CNA. I don't want to say the wrong thing. You understand what I'm saying? Like I don't want to overthink it, but that's exactly what I was doing. And that's why I hated that specific task. I was overthinking it.

[00:02:20]Anyways, that's what I had to do. I was there. I get to the room that I was supposed to be sitting in. I introduced myself to the other sitter, the other CNA who was getting off at 3 or 3:30 to account for their lunch, whatever.

[00:02:33]And I'm getting report now.

[00:02:39]I don't believe I included this part in my initial story on TikToki Instagram on Facebook, but part of the reports that you get from another CNA is often only associated with the tasks that you have to do and rarely ever associated with diagnosis that we don't always understand.

[00:02:58]If the diagnosis is involved, it's because it's tied to a task that we're going to have to do later. Um, and this is speaking from a CNA's perspective.

[00:03:10]So, she had mentioned that she heard other staff members discussing his tendency to take part in what others may perceive as attention-seeking behavior. And I say others because with these types of ideiations oftent times there are other mental health disorders tied to it that need to be assessed that need to be assigned to a psychiatrist so that it can be properly treated. And a lot of times the symptoms do include behaviors that can be perceived as attention seeking from those who do not specialize in mental health. Okay.

[00:03:49]So, I get that as a part of the report and I'm like, I'm here. I mean, what what am I going to do? What am I going to do?

[00:03:57]I'm also drastically inexperienced at 17, y'all.

[00:04:06]So, I sit in the room. I introduce myself.

[00:04:11]Didn't get much of a response. I did get a lot of groans, a lot of I'm in pain, a lot of yelling.

[00:04:19]Specifically, when the nurse would come in there and say, "She introduced herself to me when she first came in there." Remember, she's been there since 700 a.m. It's now like 3:30. It's only been 8 and 1/2 hours into her shift. I will be there until 11:30 p.m. So, she introduces herself to me and she's doing what she normally does.

[00:04:40]That first time she didn't necessarily give me the opportunity to take a break, but every time after that she would always say, "Do you want to take a break?" And I'd always say yes. I'd always take the opportunity to do so because it makes me feel better knowing I'm not just dipping out. Somebody else is in there and somebody is offering me that break. They know. They know what's going on. Especially the nurse. Hell yeah, I'm going to take this break.

[00:05:03]Being stuck in a room, you know, can very quickly mess with you, you know. So, the opportunity to get out every chance you get, of course, you're going to jump on it.

[00:05:13]So, the next few times she comes in there and she's saying what she's going to do, the patient, we're going to I believe we called him Mr. Jake. The patient would almost always respond negatively. She'll say, "I have your pain medication or whatever other medication was ordered, whether it was routine or PRN." And he would just moan and like kind of yell at her and just sound like he's just in distress like what are you giving me? You're not giving me pain meds. What is that?

[00:05:46]And she would say I am giving you pain meds. This is delotted da da da. She would scan something off and then she would ask, "Do you want to take a break, Ashley?" "Sure." Always said yes.

[00:05:59]And so the last time that she came in there, it was super close to the end of her shift.

[00:06:05]So it had been about 4 and a half hours at that time since the back and forth had been going on between this patient.

[00:06:15]And this last time she comes in there, she it's the same spiel. You want to take a break? I said, "No, it's fine.

[00:06:22]You've been in here a few times." Well, and I've gotten a bunch of breaks. I appreciate it, but nah, I'm good.

[00:06:29]And then she tells the patient, "I've got pain meds for you." And as she's saying that, I'm expecting the same thing that's been happening these past several hours. The moan, the rebuttal, the denial. I don't believe that. Da da da. He gets up. This scared me. I wasn't expecting it. He hadn't gotten out of bed the entire time I'd been in there. I It's been the same thing. No eating, no talking, no conversation. Just laying there moaning and groaning.

[00:07:04]He flies up out of the bed, scares everybody. The nurse startles, drops whatever the hell it was she dropped, and he yanks her jacket. She runs. Y'all ever seen somebody try to take a jacket off of someone as they're running?

[00:07:18]That's exactly what it looks like. I know. You know what I'm talking about.

[00:07:21]She runs. He yanks his hand in the pocket and pulls out a handful of sealed vials.

[00:07:30]Vials, the little bottles that the medications, the liquid medications come in. And he shows it to me and he goes, "Why are these sealed?"

[00:07:41]I'm not saying Jack shitty because I'm scared shitless. I don't know what's going to happen now. And personally, I feel cornered.

[00:07:50]And he goes, "What would she be giving me if all of the medications that she's supposed to be giving me is sealed?"

[00:07:58]Very frustrated, very angry, jaw- clenching, and I said, "I don't know.

[00:08:03]I don't know." By that time, security comes in, tackles him. The supervisor comes in. Now, at this facility, there's a day shift supervisor and a night shift supervisor.

[00:08:15]There's also an overseeing supervisor that you're supposed to reach out to should you need anything. And that overseeing supervisor looks out for pretty much I feel the whole hospital.

[00:08:29]They're actually called the nursing supervisor.

[00:08:32]But anyways, this particular one that came in there, it was a change of shift.

[00:08:37]The dayshift super supervisor had already left, already given report.

[00:08:42]night shift, not the overseeing one, just the one for that floor, came in, escorted me out, pulled me into her office. Now, at this time, the vials are scattered all over the floor after security t tackled homeboy and pulled me out and she goes, "What happened?" Now, there were a few things that took place in between. All that detail is not necessarily necessary at this time. Just focus on what I'm telling you for now. Obviously, the vials were collected by appropriate personnel. Um, and she's asking me, you know, what took place? What led up to this de, you know, this escalated moment? I'm the sitter. I was there all day in that room with that man. So, what she wants to know is, did I see any behavior that led up to this outburst?

[00:09:35]Did I see homegirl, the nurse, playing games with the narcotics? Did I see her not giving him the narcotics? And I told her exactly what happened. I said, "I was offered a break every time she came in there." And when I told the supervisor that, she was like, "I see.

[00:09:57]I see. Okay. Okay." And at one point she was like, "And what about his behavior?

[00:10:03]Like, how was he behaving? Did you see anything? This was escalating. Basically wanting to know like if I saw that something was getting worse, like I feel like she was trying to say, "Why didn't you say something? We could have prevented this." No, baby girl, this ain't got nothing to do with none of that.

[00:10:19]Did you see all those vials on the floor? That's what it has to do with.

[00:10:24]Let's not. Don't cut it out.

[00:10:28]So then she goes, "Okay, I'm going to go talk to the nurse." They put me right back in that man's room.

[00:10:34]sat me down right in there. Okay, but I'll tell you why I wasn't scared anymore. Because I see what the problem was.

[00:10:43]110%.

[00:10:45]110%.

[00:10:46]I see it. I saw the vials, the sealed vials that weren't being used, that were obviously being pulled for a reason. And you were using this gentleman for the opportunity to pull those vials and not administer them. In the back of my head, I'm like, "Okay, he knows what the problem is. I know what the problem is.

[00:11:05]Everyone knows what the problem is."

[00:11:09]Security though was positioned outside his door. Two security guards were assigned to sit outside of his door. So, it wasn't just me going right back in there. It was us.

[00:11:22]I still got a couple hours left of the shift.

[00:11:25]Here come the supervisor. Come back in there. Ashley, did you happen to see where she went?

[00:11:32]No.

[00:11:34]No. She didn't tell me where she was going either. She ran. She ran. Okay. I was in here answering homeboy's interrogation born of frustration. He looked me dead in my soul and was like, "What do you think she's giving me if all the drugs are right here in my hand? I don't know.

[00:11:57]No, I don't know where she went, y'all.

[00:11:59]She whips out a walkie-talkie. She starts saying a whole bunch of serious stuff. Code du yaga diggity diggity da da da. Something was called overhead.

[00:12:11]All I kept on seeing happening outside of that room was just people moving up and down, people in suits, people with more walkie-talkies. Baby girl vanished.

[00:12:22]Poof. Gone. Meanwhile, another nurse comes in there. Super cool. She administers Homeboy's pain medication.

[00:12:34]And over the next few hours, Mr. Jake's behavior drastically shifted. We're having a conversation. Now, remember when I told you homeboy did not speak when the other nurse was the nurse? Not a word. Now that the pain is being treated, now that we know there was pain, I don't even know what his diagnosis was. I'm a CNA.

[00:12:58]That's not often discussed with us.

[00:13:00]Sometimes it is. Actually, maybe even more so now, but at the time, not so much. All I know was that I believe he was in pain. I believe she was deliberately, you know, when you get a narcotic, bro.

[00:13:15]However, unfortunately, even as a CNA, you are also very exposed to drug-seeking behavior. And sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between when someone is actually in pain and when they're drug-seeking. And that absolutely sucks.

[00:13:31]But when you get a report from somebody else saying that they're taking part or they're exhibiting what can be perceived as attention-seeking behavior with the history of mental health disorders, you don't know what to think. You don't know what to think. Honestly, I don't even feel like I formed a full opinion.

[00:13:49]But I wasn't sure.

[00:13:52]I you know, you're not always sure what to believe. I was not prepared for that.

[00:13:59]I was not prepared to discover that she was actually diverting homeboy's narcotics.

[00:14:08]Anyways, it is now 11:30.

[00:14:13]Mr. Jake, night and day, we talked about everything under the [ __ ] sun.

[00:14:19]He's funny.

[00:14:21]You heard me?

[00:14:24]Security was still there. The other CNA who comes to sit with him arrives. I say I give her a bedside report, but I'm about to step out and tell her what happened. What happened happened? But then Mr. Jake was like, "Let me walk you to the doorway."

[00:14:41]Now, in hindsight, I think he was still looking for that nurse. I think that he was looking for the opportunity to have an excuse to get up and stick his head out to see if he if he sees her. I think that it was tied to the obsession. Like he's still pretty upset. You know what I'm saying? Like you you put me through hell. This is his thought process I'm imagining. You know what I'm saying?

[00:15:04]Like you put me I'm going to find you. I don't I can't say I blame him. Can't say I blame him. I just I feel like he was committed and that's why he wanted to walk me to the doorway of his room. Cut it out. But also not really don't cut it out.

[00:15:22]I understand the Scooby-Doo mystery.

[00:15:25]She vanished, y'all. That nurse, she vanished. So, we're walking to the door, the door, me, the new the night shift CNA, and the patient. And security's at the doorway. And they see they turn around and see all of us walking to the door.

[00:15:39]And one of them puts up his hand um essentially to tell the patient like, "I can't like what's going on? You can't go this far without giving me an additional explanation." And so, Mr. Jake puts up his hands and he's like, Ashley's cool.

[00:15:53]I'm just walking her to the door. We're at the door. So, I turn around and I look up, y'all. At the end of the hallway, there's kind of like that floor's lobby.

[00:16:08]There's no desk or anything. It's just a bunch of chairs, a sitting area, a set of elevators, and a door to go down a set of stairs. On the other side of that is another unit, the west wing.

[00:16:21]understand what I'm saying? Now, just before that space is a closet.

[00:16:30]Inside of that closet is a bunch of junk, a bunch of stuff that people no longer use because tickets were put in to have them fixed and they were never fixed. But nobody on the floor has the liberty to like physically throw it in the trash. But we can't have it just sitting out in the hallway. So that's what that closet is designated for. No one ever goes in there.

[00:16:55]That's what baby girl was crawling out of. The nurse diverting meds.

[00:17:02]Y'all, when I tell you, I feel like I was the first person to see it. And I felt like I wore what I saw on my face.

[00:17:14]The patient The patient takes off running.

[00:17:25]I said, "Damn it, Jake. We had such a good time." Security charges after him.

[00:17:30]The other security guard charges after the nurse who has picked up on it. They hop on a walkietalkie. Supervisor comes running from around the corner because her office is literally right on the other side of the nurses station. She don't ever come out and say [ __ ] to nobody anyways.

[00:17:46]Um, I'm telling you, when you've been pulled to so many other floors so frequently as a CNA, you become very familiar with the mannerisms and the culture of each floor. She don't say [ __ ] to nobody.

[00:18:01]Anyways, it's a pursuit.

[00:18:05]You hear me? Everybody's on their walkie-talkies. It's a rumble. It's a whole lot of commotion. I want to go. I want to leave. I've had enough fun for the day. They secure the patient.

[00:18:19]Unfortunately, they did have to start discussing like having to medicate him to unless he doesn't calm down himself.

[00:18:28]They get the woman as she's the other nurse as she's about to enter the elevator. U I couldn't leave just yet. A series of other security guards come.

[00:18:39]Some other people I don't know where these people are coming from enter the scene.

[00:18:46]So much starts happening.

[00:18:49]Eventually, I'm able to leave.

[00:18:51]Unfortunately, I can't tell you what happened after that cuz I left.

[00:18:57]When I tell you the brazen audacity, but also also when you are on drugs, your logic is rewired.

[00:19:15]It's It's not the same. Your brain chemistry is rewired.

[00:19:21]I don't know if y'all have ever heard of these stories of people who have been on drugs doing some absolute asinine things to get either the money for the drugs or to get the drugs. Baby girl was committed. Stayed in there for hours and came out when she thought that things were settled and she could escape.

[00:19:42]Very strange occurrence. However, nurses attempting to steal narcotics, not quite as strange. Sadly, sadly, the last time something like this happened to me, while I was at work, this was dayshit. People in suits just showed up and escorted her off the unit.

[00:20:12]It is a big deal. It's no joke. When I pull narcotics now, as a nurse, you're supposed to count with another nurse.

[00:20:23]Whenever you don't use all the narcotics, you're supposed to go back to the Pixus and waste the rest of that narcotic with another nurse and that other nurse is supposed to sign off.

[00:20:34]At the end of the day, you're supposed to count the narcotics. If that narcotic count is off with you, you and the nurse before you are going to be assessed and questioned.

[00:20:45]It is a big deal.

[00:20:49]And it's it's not as infrequent as it should be.

[00:20:54]But you want to know what if the level of strictness was also applied to these to some [ __ ] ass crazy ass doctors, healthcare would be a significantly better place. Y'all ever heard of that podcast Dr. Death?

[00:21:12]Real quick, super quick, super tiny summary.

[00:21:16]homeboy was he was a surgeon. I believe he was a neurosurgeon or a spine surgeon or whatever, but he was like essentially going around like unaliviving people during procedures, just sort of deliberately sabotaging their their procedures and and paralyzing them. And all the hospitals would do is ship him to another hospital. They would not take the necessary precautions, the the strictness that's applied to a nurse with with narcotics to strip him of his license. So many lives would have been saved. You understand what I'm saying?

[00:21:56]It's madness.

[00:21:59]Healthcare is not a real place. And I say that to say that I am now creating comics of all of my absolutely insane crazy nurse stories and I would love for y'all to subscribe to everything. Join all of the exclusive channels so you could be the first to be notified when it becomes available. I'm super excited.

[00:22:19]Um, also go get my graphic novels. I just shipped out a bunch, a whole new batch. Be a part of the next batch.

[00:22:27]Thanks, guys. Have a good night or
