A nurse in China has been suspended from work for letting her boyfriend accompany her during night shifts and publicly showing off how he helped her.

The nurse, who works at the privately-run Singde Brain Blood Vessel Hospital in Qingdao, Shandong province, eastern China, came under fire after she shared a video on social media on January 2.

She apparently intended to show how considerate her boyfriend was, the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald reported.

“Me and my night-shift buddy,” the nurse, whose name was not revealed in the report, said in her controversial video.

She said her boyfriend works in the daytime and would often accompany her when she was on duty in the evening.

The footage showed the man had been with her in hospital multiple times because he was wearing different clothes in different videos.
