The Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health system, in collaboration with the VCU Police, is currently probing a situation involving a nurse who released a series of controversial videos advocating resistance against federal law enforcement authorities.

VCU addressed the situation in a statement to Fox News Digital, emphasizing their commitment to safety and care. “Our foremost concern is the wellbeing of those seeking our services. We are aware that an individual, confirmed to be our employee, has shared videos displaying content that is highly inappropriate and misaligned with our core values,” the statement read.

The university also mentioned, “The VCU Police are actively involved in this investigation. In accordance with our policies, the employee in question has been placed on administrative leave, ensuring they are not present in our facilities or engaged with patients during this time.”

The nurse, whose identity was tied to the now-deactivated TikTok account Redheadredemption, was linked to VCU Health shortly after the videos surfaced. LibsOfTikTok, a well-known account on X (formerly Twitter), shared a compilation of three of these videos, leading to widespread public backlash.

In one video, simply captioned with “#ice #resistance #sabotage,” the nurse instructed others to use a “sabotage tactic” against opponents.

“I thought of something good,” she said.

“Sabotage tactic, or at least scare tactic. All the medical providers, grab some syringes with needles on the end,” she said. “Have them full of saline or succinylcholine, you know, whatever. Whatever. That will probably be a deterrent. Be safe.”

Succinylcholine is an anesthetic that causes rapid, short-acting muscle paralysis. The paralytic effect typically lasts for four to six minutes.

In another video where she is dressed in scrubs, she suggests using poison ivy to infect others.

“OK for today’s resistance tip, I vote — anybody got any poison ivy, poison oak in their yard? Get some of that, with gloves, obviously, and get it in some water. Like a gallon of water. And get the poison ivy oak water and I’m going to put it into a water gun. Aim for faces, hands.”

That video was simply titled, “#resist.”

In a third video captioned “#staytoxic,” the nurse sends a message to single women, telling them to go on dates with ICE agents and spike their drinks.

“Single ladies, where these ICE guys are going, have a chance to do something, you know, not without risk, but could help the cause for sure,” she said. “Get on Tinder, get on Hinge, find these guys. They’re around. [If] they’re an ICE agent, bring some ex-lax and put it in their drinks. Get them sick. You know, nobody’s going to die. Just enough to incapacitate them and get them off the street for the next day. Highly, easily deniable.”

“I’m just saying, let’s get them where they eat,” she said. “Somebody’s not going to be supporting these guys. Where’s the hotel where they eat? Who makes that breakfast? Let’s find them.”

Later in the video, she said, “Let’s make their lives f—— miserable,” and directed her followers to talk with anyone who knows where ICE agents are.

“Talk to the people who work at the places where they are,” she said.
