A young nurse went viral on TikTok for wearing her scrubs in a way that reveals her natural curves, causing controversy among viewers.
The nurse who is Erika Diaz, aged 22, has caused a stir on social media with her unconventional way of wearing scrubs. Diaz has gone viral on TikTok, where she shared photos of herself wearing scrubs tucked into her pants. This reveals the curves of her natural body shape, which some viewers found inappropriate.
Despite receiving negative comments, Diaz believes that scrubs are supposed to be worn this way. She defended her way of wearing scrubs, stating that some people just have an issue with her body and not her scrubs. In a caption on her TikTok video, she said, “Just for clarification, I am 5’2” and 107 lbs. I’m short and little. Y’all can say my body is fake all y’all want. It’s not. Ask my back problems.”
In the viral video, Diaz displays her body in the scrubs and then cuts to a picture of how scrubs are supposed to be worn. She shared an online advertisement featuring four women wearing their scrubs tucked into their matching pants, just like Diaz does in her TikTok videos. However, Diaz’s proportions are different from the models in the advertisement, and this upset some viewers on the platform.
Despite the backlash, Diaz’s video has received over twelve million seven hundred thousand views and counting. She continued to debate with people about her way of wearing scrubs in the comment section of her viral video. Diaz defended herself by saying, “I’m devoting my life to the improvement of others, and anyone’s opinions are irrelevant.”
However, some people continued to bash the curvy nurse for her body, stating that her way of wearing scrubs was unprofessional.
One TikTok user wrote, “It’s just not professional,” while another said, “You simply can buy one bigger size to give you space to breathe.”
Another person wrote, “I’m an old school director. I’d never allow that on my floor. I don’t want to see nails, perfume, or style. Keep that at home where it belongs.”
Despite the negative comments, some people came to Diaz’s defense.
One person wrote, “Anyone saying ‘buy a bigger size.’ It doesn’t really work like that. Sometimes a bigger size will be too big on the arms and too long.”
A month after the initial video, Diaz uploaded another image of herself in the same scandalous outfit.
She added a caption stating, “How I feel walking into work after some of my coworkers found my TikTok account lol.” Diaz added, “They don’t care, though. I will be telling them my whole life story, too, haha.”
Diaz’s way of wearing scrubs has sparked a debate about professionalism in the workplace. Some people argue that scrubs should be worn in a specific way to maintain professionalism, while others believe that it should be acceptable to wear scrubs in a way that is comfortable for the wearer.
The controversy surrounding Diaz’s video highlights the importance of respecting people’s choices and individuality, even in the workplace.
