Nurse Fined for TikTok Wish | Miami News

A Florida nurse, Lexie Lawler, faces a reprimand and $250 fine after a viral TikTok video in which she wished former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt a painful birth. The post sparked outrage, leading to her license suspension and job loss — despite 12 years of an unblemished record. An administrative law judge sided with disciplinary action, calling her public social media post a serious breach of professional conduct, especially given her role in labor and delivery. While her attorney argues the language wasn’t directed at a patient, the judge dismissed that, emphasizing the public nature of the post. The final decision rests with Florida’s Department of Health.
