A pediatric nurse in Indiana who tweeted that white women tend to raise terrorists, rapists and racists is ‘no longer’ working at her hospital, it has emerged.
Taiyesha Baker had been employed at IU Health when she wrote that ‘Historically every son you had should be sacrificed to wolves at birth.’
The hospital told Fox 59 in a statement on Sunday: ‘A recently hired IU Health employee tied to troubling posts on social media this weekend is no longer an employee of IU Health.’
Indiana ‘Night Nurse’ identified as Taiyesha Baker (pictured here) has sparked an internal investigation after claiming white women raise sons that tend to be ‘killers’ and ‘rapists’
The tweet came from an account named ‘Night Nurse’ which has been linked back to Baker
IU Health will not confirm whether Baker was sacked, per company policy.
Baker had made the shocking remarks on the Twitter account ‘Night Nurse,’ which was traced back to her, on Saturday.
It read: ‘Every white woman raises a detriment to society when they raise a son. Someone with the HIGHEST propensity to be a terrorist, rapist, racist, killer, and domestic violence all star.’
‘Historically every son you had should be sacrificed to the wolves. B****.’
In now-deleted posts, Baker said that she worked in pediatrics.
A Saturday statement by IU Health read that it ‘is aware of several troubling posts on social media which appear to be from a recently hired IU Health employee.
‘Our HR department continues to investigate the situation and the authenticity of the posts. During the investigation, that employee (who does not work at Riley Hospital for Children) will have no access to patient care.’

Public records show that Baker received her last nursing license on October 30 and that it is due to expire on October 31, 2019.
The troubling post first appeared on the Twitter account @tai_fieri, but was deleted soon after.
In April of this year, Baker was one of a number of Indiana University students who protested a speech by conservative speaker Charles Murray.
Murray’s 1994 book, the Bell Curve, suggested that black people generally have lower IQs than white people.
Baker told 6 ABC News at the time that such generalizations about people’s race were unacceptable.
‘There’s people of every shade of color that honestly feels that this is not OK,’ she said.
