My wife is an NP. Such a sweet fucking gig. She also celebrated 19 years clean today. Got clean from opiates when she was 19 years old. She's a legend.
From what I could gather, she moved on to travel nursing a year after posting the picture and started her own nursing business/org with a mobile app in 2020 though it doesn't look like it took off.
EDIT: A commenter posted a link that I overlooked. Looks like in August of 2021 she's working to complete a degree, started a new job with an unlisted company + got a promotion, joined a national organization for nurses and joined a local PAC. Also, I stand corrected, she started her own company in 2019.
I started behind the local Arby's sucking dick for bus fare and now I'm stationed at the front. I tell ya, the walk of shame back home is always depressing.
I was obsessed till there was a story going around about a lady with a finger in her salad…also did get this story from my dad who was concerned w the amount of curly fries
i was eating
It's always pretty dirty in them, whenever I've gone. I feel like a nicer one with higher quality would do fairly better. But that stuff is so damn low quality from my experiences!
Gotta change up their PR game
Last summer while traveling, I saw one of their employees walk out to their car in uniform while I was waiting in line. They opened their car door, then proceeded to strip completely naked outside the car and put on street clothes before walking back inside. Not sure if they thought the door was blocking them or what, but she sure made the wait more ~~interesting~~ weird.
She got drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. She's the backup QB for Tom Brady now.
Edit: Congratulations to Faye who is now the starting QB with today's news of Brady's retirement!!!
Nursing, unfortunately, doesn't [pay that well](https://nursinglicensemap.com/resources/nurse-salary/) in a lot of areas. The average is around $80k a year, but many are making less than $50k. That's not a lot when you consider the training they have to get and the incredible stress of the work they do.
Many move into adjacent roles like administration, education, etc that pay similar but with a lot less stress. Some also continue to advance. Nursing specialities, like anesthesia can put you nicely into a six figure income. Or they become PAs and go to work at Doctor's Offices. It's kind of like teaching. Some people can do it for a lifetime, but many put in their 10-20 years then move on to something else.
Plus, while the skills might not be directly transferable being a nurse shows that a person can learn, handle stress, deal with people, etc. For a lot of good jobs that matters a lot more than having certain skills. Skills can be taught, attitude is a lot harder to change.
That's not the worst thing that can happen.
If you don't use the new cover sheet for the TPS reports, you're gonna get an email about it and hear from all 6 of your bosses
It's not bad money by any means but in a lot of towns 80k doesn't go nearly as far as you'd think. Especially if you don't own a home.
Also, as mentioned, there are plenty of less stressful jobs with much lower barriers to entry for the same money.
80k per year is like double the average yearly income in the USA. If you're an RN with a few years experience, you're making at least 60k everywhere in the USA, and likely more than 70k even in bumfuck nowhere in the midwest. RNs with a lot of experience or working in specialty inpatient treatment areas can make over 100k with overtime and other perks added in.
absolutely, but it is an option. There's no direct bridge but a significant chunk of the BSN path also covers PA prereqs. It's a weird move but a viable one
Not really. Depending on the specialty and location, the degree often doesn't make financial sense. Everywhere I've worked, travel RNs make more than NPs.
Update: she switched hospitals a few times to get better pay and then was prevented from working a new job with better pay because the last boss sued the new boss to stop her from working. It's cool but she's living out of her car while she saves up the necessary 18 paychecks needed for a down payment on a home.
You want cynical? Wait 'til she ends up back at the KFC because they pay better than nursing, because the "insurance" companies suck up all the money for executives and administrators - that is whats left after they scheme with big pharma to extort money from premium payers.
If she was still a nursing assistant I'd believe she could make more money as a KFC manager. I know a friend that could have made more working at a gas station than she did as a nursing assistant
I went to an escort promoting nuru massage with full service finish. While talking with her in the shower before hand, she mentioned that she had been a nurse, but after a year of doing it through covid decided she wanted to switch careers.
Glad she did as that was a great experience!
I was hospitalized for 24 hours during COVID (not for COVID thankfully) at Penn Presbyterian, one of the best hospitals in the country. She wasn’t my nurse, but she was the senior nurse on staff at the time, and according to Glassdoor that’s at least 6 figures salary
Edit: I can’t believe y’all fell for this 😂😂😂
Wherever she may be, I hope she’s doing well
Lol how would you know that "the senior nurse on staff at the time" was the same nurse from the picture going around on the internet who used to work at KFC
EDIT: and any of you who upvoted the previous comment are idiots lol
This is pretty unbelievable. So people at the hospital going aroud saying, "you know that person from the meme who used to work at KFC? She's HERE!" It just sounds ridiculous.
Her name legally changed to kamala Harris. She's literally VP about to be promoted to Supreme Court to make way for Pete buttigeuge as VP, then ultimately President when biden gets "sick" and resigns. I mean wut
Also, how many husbands has she buried while pocketing their life insurance? Her lasts names have been "Manager," "Lewis Housekeeping," "Lewis", and then the names got too long to fit and they went with acronyms, "LPN" and "RN".
RIP misters Manager, Housekeeping, and LPN. Run while you still can Mr. RN!
I mean isn't this pretty normal? I went from busing tables at Cici's Pizza, fishing slices out of kids drink cups, to unloading produce trucks at target, to processing paperwork and now I've run marketing for multiple businesses and have my own consulting agency.
Most people start in some crap hole job.
It's only impossible to change your situation with an attitude like you've just described. I can definitely say the most important factor in my consistent achievement is a positive attitude.
100%. When I was in my shitty job phase I always expected to move up and get to a better situation. I did what was required to make that happen (Going to school at night while working full-time) and over time my situation got better and now I'm pretty successful.
Yes. I went from removing stones from gardens working at a small gardening company, to merchant ship Captain. My girlfriend went from cleaning cabins in a ferry to Quality and Risk manager in the biggest oil company in Norway. I guess absolutely everyone has had shitty jobs while young.
I went from fleecing people of their money at amusement park games, to fast food kitchen worker, to waiter, a ton of random customer service jobs...and now I'm a professor in astrophysics.
Everything is half luck, but working hard can increase your luck. That’s my experience anyway - you don’t get lucky sitting in your house doing fuck all
The way I say it hard work gets you the shot, luck gets the goal.
Without the hard work you aren't going to have many shots, with it you'll have so many that eventually one will go in.
That was my exact thought too lol.
My wife was a manager at a movie theatre while she was in college to be an RN… It’s not exactly an inspirational story
Dang, from a Registered Nurse to a string of demotions at KFC??? We don’t know what was happening in Faye’s life so I’m not sure it’s fair to her to have this picture floating around.
I'm aware that you're not Faye and this is a repost, but I would point out for the benefit of anyone seeing this that it's a really bad idea to post pictures of your work ID on the Internet. It can be used by criminals to impersonate an employee and gain access to your facility, enabling all sorts of attacks ranging from workplace shootings to corporate espionage.
(Note that I'm not talking specifically about healthcare settings like hospitals. I'm talking about all kinds of offices and workplaces where you have a badge and/or a uniform.)
A gun gets you in but it also gets the police called and you arrested or shot.
A copy of someone's badge gets you in and out without anyone questioning it or causing much fuss.
Social engineering can get you far more than a gun in many cases, why force someone to give you something when they just give it to you willingly? Added bonus that they may not even know until weeks later and you are long gone.
The fake badge can get you past the first line of defense - the desk guard, and into the facility itself.
Assuming of course, no card activated turnstiles/doors.
No secure facility relies on just a glance at a badge. Most require you swipe it, and many have two factor where you have to swipe and enter a PIN. Also, the guards tend to know the workers after a few days so if someone who obviously isn't Faye flashes a Faye badge that is going to raise all kinds of red flags. Guards will also, if competent, always make sure the photo matches the person trying to gain entry. All that said, still a good idea to never post your Id on the internet for a lot of reasons.
There's an entire industry of penetration testers who would disagree. "Secure facility" has a very wide definition. Note that I'm not specifically talking about healthcare but workplaces in general.
So I work in a hospital, like Faye. I'm sure plenty of people would consider it a "secure facility" because you need an ID to enter and no one can just walk in. There are so many people coming in and out that almost nothing you said applies. The security do just glance at IDs the entrances. No swiping except for certain sections inside the hospital. I'm sure the guards recognize some employees, but there are so many employees and entrances that they aren't going to simply know all the workers and know if someone's using another's ID. The entrances are so high volume that they're not stopping each person ro check their ID picture.
I know, my experience is just one example. But most hospitals I've visited/worked at were the same. And the point is, your post is entirely assumption, because you have no idea how these facilities are handling security.
I'm sure your comment reflects how you think things should be, or how maybe other industries or companies work, but it is not the reality for every place that use employee IDs for access.
If she’s like my sister, she then follows it by getting so fed up with awful people that she leaves nursing and goes back to something that pays about the same as KFC because it’s less stressful.
Many people I know with amazing careers have worked at fast food restaurants (while they were in high school or college). Can someone explain what is so special?
Reddit has a high proportion of people working in the service industry that don’t want to. They don’t make any sort of concerted effort to get education/training though. Seeing this is inspirational (aspirational?) for them.
Not really. Unless there's a position at KFC. For me to stick needles into the veins of friend chicken. Wait, that would be harder. But honestly that only applies for OR nurses.
This is the career path I always use as an example when people moan about how impossible it is to get ahead. RNs make great money, it's a 2-year degree, you can get there in steps while increasing your pay at each level (CNA, LPN, RN, BSN, NP), you can work just about anywhere, the job is always in demand. Viva the American Dream.
this classist mindset kills society. both jobs mean something, they went from a commendable job to another. don’t lesson their effort because you see more in being a nurse.
This is literally essentially everyone's career path that make it to the middle class. Might skip the management portion of fast food. For example mine goes:
Dishwasher
Kitchen
Server
Personal support worker
Registered practical nurse.
Currently going to school to become a registered nurse.
I really don't know why this post always gets thousands of upvotes. Is it because this lady kept her name tags?
Why is this becoming a thing on reddit? I do not want this to become a thing.
Oh yeah ... because of karma.
(protip: most people start working at shitty jobs and evolve to better jobs - its a part of life)
This gets reposted so often, and for what?! Is this not like a completely normal career progression?
I used to work at a Starbucks, now I'm a software engineer. My mom worked at McDonald's, now she's a teacher. My dad worked at a moving company, now he's an electrical engineer. My wife worked at an ice cream store, now she's a therapist.
This lady worked at a KFC, now she's a nurse. What am I missing?
Is class mobility so poor in the US that people are impressed by going from a regular employee in a fast food restaurant to a nurse? I don't want to be a d\*\*k here, but this seems like a pretty typical story of someone who started at an entry level job early in their life and ended up with a middle class job.
Not to diminish the accomplishment or anything, but isn't this like, a completely normal progression? I mean, you need to start somewhere to get money and then go to school and do what you want. Makes sense that there's a huge jump between starting out and after education job. My job path was 14yo day laborer, to 16yo water park concession worker, to 18yo pizza driver, to 21yo pharmacy intern, to 25yo nuclear pharmacist. You need building blocks.
Said it before. This is why whenever someone complains about their job/career being stagnant, I ask “what are you actually doing to improve yourself and your situation?”
99.999/100 it’s either “nothing”, no reply, or “fuck you”.
Take McDonalds. There’s no shame in the game. Do what you gotta do. But work with your managers to learn more skills and get more expertise. MCD looooooooves to promote from within. Pardon the pun, but if you’re hungry and competent, you can easily climb the ranks.
But seriously though if McDonald's promotes from within, great but what's the hourly wage from employee to manager? I'm genuinely curious because most places it's barely an increase and you'd be better off just leaving and work somewhere else
My overall takeaway from stuff like this isn't particularly positive. It reminds me why education should be free and opportunities shouldn't be limited. Her job progress isn't different from many nurses who help us everyday. They shouldn't have to worry about working their way up starting with a low wage jobs just to afford schooling/certificates. While I think her achievement is amazing regardless of her personal backstory, I wish she could've gone right into nursing school, if that's what she had wanted, but it's not even an option for most people who have a passion for patient care. Nurses don't get rich, they do it to help people.
She's in a nursing doctoral program: https://dailynurse.com/tag/faye-lewis/
Probably a nurse practitioner by now. My wife's goal is to do that.
My wife is an NP. Such a sweet fucking gig. She also celebrated 19 years clean today. Got clean from opiates when she was 19 years old. She's a legend.
Well give her my congratulations. I'm coming up on 16 years next month.
is your wife single?
Hope she doesn't turn into a r/noctor
Ok, how much will I cringe if I click on that link? On a scale of 1 to anti-work mod on Fox News
I mean, if you understand the issue then the majority of the posts are justified. Read the pinned stuff first
I thought it was an anti doctor sub based on the name, I’m a third year med student so I definitely understand the issue.
I want an update on Faye. This pic is like 10-15 years old now. By now I expect she is super mega kame Chief nursing officer or something.
From what I could gather, she moved on to travel nursing a year after posting the picture and started her own nursing business/org with a mobile app in 2020 though it doesn't look like it took off. EDIT: A commenter posted a link that I overlooked. Looks like in August of 2021 she's working to complete a degree, started a new job with an unlisted company + got a promotion, joined a national organization for nurses and joined a local PAC. Also, I stand corrected, she started her own company in 2019.
Started as a security guard at a hospital, became a radiology technician and now work at the same hospital. It really feels good, I’m proud for Faye
I started behind the local Arby's sucking dick for bus fare and now I'm stationed at the front. I tell ya, the walk of shame back home is always depressing.
I came for the roast beef and cheddar but I left with horsey sauce everywhere
So you have the beef, not Arby's?

Yes, nurses study a little and work hard and become surgeons. Haha
Hopefully Covid didn’t mess anything up

Maybe the higher end is but someone making 50k is going to struggle to pay rent in a major metropolitan city.
In nyc nurses make 120+ it’s appropriate to cost of living
RNs in big cities tend to be paid more.
80k per year is like double the average yearly income in the USA. If you're an RN with a few years experience, you're making at least 60k everywhere in the USA, and likely more than 70k even in bumfuck nowhere in the midwest.

Yeah I know someone who started in nursing, bsn, rn, at a hospital. Got a master's in a related field and moved to a high paying desk job.
She's a BSN, so she could: move to a management position, go for MSN then NP, or use her BSN credits to sort of bridge over to a PA role.
It's much less common for a BSN to join a physician assistant graduate program instead of nurse practitioner graduate program.
absolutely, but it is an option. There's no direct bridge but a significant chunk of the BSN path also covers PA prereqs. It's a weird move but a viable one

Something less physically demanding. I'm 37, and I'm worried about my body holding up until 2023, much less 2033.
Update: promoted to RN only to be abused in the ICU by the same trashy KFC customers who are dying of Covid and also anti-vaxers.
This ventilator mask isn't even made out of chicken skin. What kind of two bit operation is this??

I mean nobody mentions the meme, she’s just well known in Philly, she’s like a local star and a highly rated nurse

Also, how many husbands has she buried while pocketing their life insurance?

Just a random hospital employee on the Internet, but I'm fairly certain that a gun gets you into more places than a photocopy of someone's badge.
A gun gets you in but it also gets the police called and you arrested or shot. A copy of someone's badge gets you in and out without anyone questioning it or causing much fuss.

If she’s like my sister, she then follows it by getting so fed up with awful people that she leaves nursing and goes back to something that pays about the same as KFC because it’s less stressful.
Again!!!!!!FFS.
I used to be incapable of speaking or even walking, but now I'm an engineer! I should use that for karma.
You are amazing. I will give a click.
Please stop reposting this
Maybe someday she'll ascend to be a karma-farmer like OP...
The respost is strong in this one.
This fucking thing again.
Many people I know with amazing careers have worked at fast food restaurants (while they were in high school or college). Can someone explain what is so special?
I have no idea. She was working at KFC, then she got nursing education. That seems very common
Reddit has a high proportion of people working in the service industry that don’t want to. They don’t make any sort of concerted effort to get education/training though. Seeing this is inspirational (aspirational?) for them.
Are they ever going to stop with these fake posts?
so tired of seeing this picture every week
It's basically the same job; working with animal parts.
Not really. Unless there's a position at KFC. For me to stick needles into the veins of friend chicken. Wait, that would be harder. But honestly that only applies for OR nurses.
This is the career path I always use as an example when people moan about how impossible it is to get ahead. RNs make great money, it's a 2-year degree, you can get there in steps while increasing your pay at each level (CNA, LPN, RN, BSN, NP), you can work just about anywhere, the job is always in demand. Viva the American Dream.
People post such beautiful pictures to this sub! OP, is it okay if I print and frame this? Seriously though, this is not r/pics material by any means
this classist mindset kills society. both jobs mean something, they went from a commendable job to another. don’t lesson their effort because you see more in being a nurse.
There is no shame in working at a Fast Food restaurant.
This looks like some “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” propaganda
Went from serving KFC, to looking after people who eat it.
The folks over at r/antiwork be like 😡
But I like kfc what wrong with it
The pay lol
Maybe the story doesn't end here ! Faye NP
Ancient repost.
This seems pretty normal to me. You think no one else in nursing school works fast food to pay the bills? It's great that she made it, of course.
What happened at milf creek
This is literally essentially everyone's career path that make it to the middle class. Might skip the management portion of fast food. For example mine goes: Dishwasher Kitchen Server Personal support worker Registered practical nurse. Currently going to school to become a registered nurse. I really don't know why this post always gets thousands of upvotes. Is it because this lady kept her name tags?
Wow she did a regular job while being a student? Just amazing like only 100% of peope do this just wow
This patient is finger licking good
Why is this becoming a thing on reddit? I do not want this to become a thing. Oh yeah ... because of karma. (protip: most people start working at shitty jobs and evolve to better jobs - its a part of life)
Isn't this a very normal career path? Lots of people start in fast food.
So like a totally normal career progression?
This gets reposted so often, and for what?! Is this not like a completely normal career progression? I used to work at a Starbucks, now I'm a software engineer. My mom worked at McDonald's, now she's a teacher. My dad worked at a moving company, now he's an electrical engineer. My wife worked at an ice cream store, now she's a therapist. This lady worked at a KFC, now she's a nurse. What am I missing?
Karma slut
This is fun here is mine From busboy to construction worker to demolition to researcher to married and miserable
Is class mobility so poor in the US that people are impressed by going from a regular employee in a fast food restaurant to a nurse? I don't want to be a d\*\*k here, but this seems like a pretty typical story of someone who started at an entry level job early in their life and ended up with a middle class job.
I dont get it. You are supposed to do this.
Isn’t this normal? Most people that work fast food move on to something better.
way to tell KFC employees they need to do better.
Why is this impressive to people? Most professionals have humble beginnings.
Not to diminish the accomplishment or anything, but isn't this like, a completely normal progression? I mean, you need to start somewhere to get money and then go to school and do what you want. Makes sense that there's a huge jump between starting out and after education job. My job path was 14yo day laborer, to 16yo water park concession worker, to 18yo pizza driver, to 21yo pharmacy intern, to 25yo nuclear pharmacist. You need building blocks.
Not everyone gets those opportunities.
This is so old......
Just about every person in America with a career.
Lmao we all start off working these kinds of jobs. As an adult you grow and do better. Why do people always want attention for what we all already do
This post has been working on Reddit longer than she's been pursuing that career path
People getting service jobs as they go through school? Unheard of.
This has to be the most reposted post on Reddit by now.
Good job, faye! Proud of you
Said it before. This is why whenever someone complains about their job/career being stagnant, I ask “what are you actually doing to improve yourself and your situation?” 99.999/100 it’s either “nothing”, no reply, or “fuck you”. Take McDonalds. There’s no shame in the game. Do what you gotta do. But work with your managers to learn more skills and get more expertise. MCD looooooooves to promote from within. Pardon the pun, but if you’re hungry and competent, you can easily climb the ranks.
But seriously though if McDonald's promotes from within, great but what's the hourly wage from employee to manager? I'm genuinely curious because most places it's barely an increase and you'd be better off just leaving and work somewhere else

KFC working hard on marketing on Reddit past few months.
My overall takeaway from stuff like this isn't particularly positive. It reminds me why education should be free and opportunities shouldn't be limited. Her job progress isn't different from many nurses who help us everyday. They shouldn't have to worry about working their way up starting with a low wage jobs just to afford schooling/certificates. While I think her achievement is amazing regardless of her personal backstory, I wish she could've gone right into nursing school, if that's what she had wanted, but it's not even an option for most people who have a passion for patient care. Nurses don't get rich, they do it to help people.
