An air hostess has shared one of the biggest differences between that job and her other role as a nurse.
Hannah Kimmel took to TikTok to show the different shoes she wore for 12-hour shifts at each job, showing just one of the ways one differs from the other. In the clip, we see her showing off her stylish high heels while on shift as an air hostess, followed by a clip of her comfortable and practical sneakers she wears as a nurse.
The Chicago-based flight attendant told Newsweek: "I work both jobs as a nurse and flight attendant, on different days of course."
