That is survivorship bias. For every successful RN influencer, there are 1,000 LPNs who lost their jobs trying to copy the formula.
But validity does not equal virality.
Scene: A nurse’s break room. Two Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) are laughing over a shared tablet. They are looking at a TikTok video posted by a colleague. The video is set to Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance . In it, the LPN is lip-syncing the chorus while holding a vial of "flush" solution, pointing dramatically at a sleeping patient, and rolling her eyes at a chart.
When an LPN posts "bad romance" content complaining about a specific facility (e.g., "My bad romance with Sunrise Nursing Home" ), they are committing career suicide. Recruiters now perform "social media background checks" as standard procedure.
“POV: You’re in a bad romance with your charge nurse and your paycheck. #LPNlife #NurseTok #BedsideBlues.”
