An Atlanta hospital system has fired four of its nurses after they made a viral TikTok video complaining about expecting mothers and their families.

“We are aware of a TikTok video that included disrespectful and unprofessional comments about maternity patients at Emory University Hospital Midtown,” Emory Healthcare said in a statement Friday. “We have investigated the situation and taken appropriate actions with the former employees responsible for the video.”

WSB-TV, the local ABC affiliate in Atlanta, first reported that the nurses had been fired.

Nurses in the Maternity Center at Emory University Hospital Midtown were participants in a social media trend in which they shared their “icks,” or dislikes, about their jobs.
