A sick child is cheered up by a nurse through her dancing skills

Nothing sucks like being sick and stuck in a hospital bed with nothing to do but staring at a ceiling. However this was not the case with this particular little boy who was entertained by a caring nurse. 

The caring nurse sent Mzansi into a media feeding frenzy after a video of her dancing for the little boy who is sick in hospital created such a huge buzz over social media. The nurse is seen cheering up the child who is sick and was admitted to the hospital where she works. 

The nurse went into the boy’s ward and performed the dance which has melted many people’s hearts over social media.   

The caring nurse danced for the sick child. She danced to a Sick Song, a popular children’s nursery rhyme by Cocomelon. She used amazing hand gestures to illustrate the lyrics. 

The video was posted on TikTok and has since generated 25.1K views and growing. 

Her amazing dance therapy helped to make the boy more relaxed, knowing that someone was caring for him in the hospital. He sat on his bed and watched the nurse keenly as he enjoyed the dance session. After she was done dancing, she brought out goodies from her pocket for the young boy. 

People on TikTok were happy to see this type of gesture from the nurse as it was refreshing to see that there are still people who do care for humanity. Many praised the nurse with some even saying to her to keep up the good job. 

The video was posted on her TikTok handle, @lukresiarobai.
