This is what I should be eating as a diabetic! No Giordanos! LOL

You are a Super Model 😍

How far u live from Chicago ?

I AGREE WITH YOU SOO MUCH, MY HEART!!! 💖💖💖 Amazing video. Thank you for speaking up for us !

i like how she snuck in the "like me" hahha

This why I work from home now

That’s so true. I just shared my last encounter in the ER.

What countries have you traveled to?

Im glad to see you happy and enjoying your job.

Roadtrips and seeing the world is what I love to do! Where have you traveled to? I know you've been to Vegas & Florida.

Hello darling, I used to be a male nurse in Hungary. Same problems here , too. Its not worth to be a nurse anymore, not especially in these times when people can earn the same money with almost anything else. Nurses, other health care professionals and teachers are the least valued seemingly all over the world. Governments simply just dont care about them, though the money is there to improve these areas, but they steal it. Nursing would be a great work but not in these circumstances.

As a retired nurse, I totally agree with you. Nursing used to be a great profession, but last 10 years really started going downhill. Hospitals don't ever staff you enough, treat you like a slave, made the computer charting too time consuming.

Most of my nursing trauma has come from patient families. They argue and report me for not giving meds that aren’t ordered, just the families think the patient needs them. No matter how much I try to educate, the families are relentless and so demanding about things that not appropriate

I always love when I fly into Chicago for layover and see the beautiful skyscrapers from the window. This past March, I went into the Wiis Tower. I still call it the Sears Tower as i grew up with Sears.The last time I was in downtown Chicago was 2008 so alot has changed! I love Lakeshore Dr! I believe that's where Lincoln park & millennial park is? By the way, if you keep following Lake Shore Dr going south, it will bring you to Miami 🌴. As it's part of US route 41.

As far as pizza goes, I like Gino's East in Wheaton! There use to be one downtown but it has closed. Everyone seems to love Giordanos!

I went to Chi-town in March. Unfortunately didn't get as nice weather as it is now. I went to this Italian restaurant called Il Porcellino right by La Salle. Amazing food there! I love myself a delicious chicago hot dog! Yummy!

Ok after this now I’m not 100% sure I want to do nursing HAHA. I actually really like public health but I’m not sure what path to take tbh and if I’ll even get a job with that type of degree. So sorry you guys go through this. Thanks for all the nurses for what they do . No wonder there’s a shortage though..

I’m so happy you are back with the vlogs 💖💖 this one is such an inspiring one, I need to actually do something else than lying on the sofa on my days off.

Please say more about being treated more like a waitress than a skilled professional. It’s why I left. Not here for the holistic medicine thing, much as I support it. Please focus on the roblems with nursin🥰

I’ve been a nurse for 45 years and there’s always been poor treatment of nurses mostly by NURSING MANAGEMENT! You get assaulted by an abusive pt and nurse managers say “what could you have done differently?” The only profession where the boss asks this insulting question! Try to get time off when you need it/want it ? I’ve been denied a vacation that had been approved weeks ago, and the floor was so short staffed I was denied it at the last minute. I’d already bought the tickets. I could go on and on!

If you enjoyed that Chicago adventure...I bet you'd Love whale watching on boats in Monterey, CA. 😊

You should visit all the sites where the movie "The Dark Knight" was filmed.... 🦇 🦇 🦇

Have you worked in a different Hospitals? different states?

Speak on it Youngin, I graduated 30 years ago…nothing has improved. It was not as overwhelming and horrible back then …but bottom line, they care about saving money 💰so that corporate management and hospital mgm can “line their pockets” with bonuses, at the nurse in the trenches expense. They don’t care! The public is not aware how understaffed underpaid nurses, that are exhausted, poorly staffed, poorly trained these days, and feel unsafe at work..impacts their healthcare ..mistakes, deaths, and plain poor care … nurses are still too scared and female dominated to unionize. Hospitals can’t function without us. Power up in numbers for change, I tried talking about it when younger and they threatened to fire me, I quit.. afterwards I had no loyalty to any health system for me. Screw that Florence Nightingale spin 🙄 I left the bedside. Stress was killing me. I started to loathe being in the hospital or going to work…I ❤️ that you are speaking the truth, unapologetically .. I salute you 🫡💕

Nursing home environments are even worse honestly

Im so happpyyy to see you post!! You inspire me so much

Love how relatable your vlogs are!! You really motivate me to enjoy the little things such as the commute to work with a coffee and music on before the chaos of working in mental health lol

Good morning happy Wednesday morning and great video and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

If you dye your hair in purple with sparkles...you will truly look like an anime nurse angel 😇

I think it's interesting that she has a lot of opinions for someone with minimal experience. I don't know why people go into nursing but I suspect many for the wrong reason. Unfortunately do to a chronic condition with a poor prognosis I for the first time have more interaction with Healthcare than I like. Nonetheless, my experience with nurses gas been poor. Not only do many have bad attitudes but seem to do everything but their jobs. If you are stuck there overnight the nurses station is a loud and disruptive chatter box. Skill levels vary but for the most part they are less than impressive. It may be the system but controlling the part you are responsible is all you can do but you really don't. I think more men should go into nursing, less whining.

You’re like me, you own so many pairs of eye glasses! 🤓 Obsessed 🧡🥰

Your faith is growing, what a blessing it is sister! 🙏🏼🤍 God bless you! Keep Jesus first, He will never let you down! 🥹

Those free standing ER'S are popping up everywhere especially in Texas

This video couldn't have come at a better time. God is refining me this season. I can't wait to see what he has in store for my nursing career and beyond. And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. Great vlog by the way! excited for you!

you should do a video about a nurse who works a whole week without drinking any coffee ...👻

I’m working on a masters degree just so I don’t have to work on the floor any longer. But I truly believe this toxic behavior has emerged even more in the last 10 years. I also believe it starts with nursing schools. Most of these schools are militant with gaslighting techniques that think they need to “strip someone down and build them back up.” If I had everything to do over, I never would’ve gotten into this profession. But now it’s a little late. We need caring and compassionate nurses, not “I’m better than you” attitudes. People need to think long and hard before getting into this profession. It’s not what you think.

ED nurse of two years. Everything you have said is spot on.

Gosh, I feel this! I have 20 years of healthcare experience as an occupational therapist and naively decided to pursue nursing to blend the 2 fields together. I got a rude awakening as I dealt with this toxicity on an extreme med surg floor. Then, I pursued hospice nursing and was taken advantage of again by the administrator. I went right back to OT and have never been happier. Something seriously needs to change. And, I am with you on the benefits of functional medicine! 🙌

How do you know if the ER is for you!? I’m in nursing school and the ER interests me more but I am nervous because how do I know it’s for me 😅

It’s the same thing with clinical Dieittians 🤣🤣🤣 there is NO SHORTAGE - we are just refusing to work for the hospital with low wages and being worked to the ground 👁️👄👁️ I was in the hospital for 6 months as a new RD and left and will never go back . I work out patient only and private practice. The hospital was pushing me to see 15-18 patients a day- when you are salary - a 40 hour work week no longer exists and the average person was working 50 hours a week - I just refuse to work like that 😵‍💫 In private practice, I’m salary, see 4-6 patients a day and work 32 hours a week. I have a life 🎉 Just in case nurses are wondering why the clinical dietitian is barely ever seen… only the most complex cases are scene with low staff which is usually ICU and trauma I actually work in functional nutrition ! Thanks for the shoutout

Left the field in 2016 because of systemic bs and burnout. It’s been a struggle bus. Best decision I’ve ever made for my health but I also still feel lost in discovering what career I now fit into.

😢

New Grad Rn working the ER since May 2024, Love every minute of it!! 14 years as an EMT before becoming a nurse and it had helped so much to have the EMS background as well. Learning new things every shift.

Love the glasses! Happy nurses week!

Ok so im new to the medical field as I am still in schol for MA but can i ask how much RN makes starting out cause ive been in fast food my whole life (30 plus years) and all i see is people say they dont make enogh. i googled wht they make and unless the numbers are incorrect yall are trippin. Ive never made over 14 an hour so Im grateful to make ANYTHING and NOT work in fast food. Im not ungrateful and it seems alot of people need to humble themselves more!!!

I am applying to nursing school and I love functional and holistic medicine, I think down the line id love to be an NP and work on prevention vs medication. Thank You for your video I think this is the way nursing should be and you bring a lot of hope to the profession for me!

I really wish I paid attention and watched this video fully before starting my new grad OR RN residency. I’m 3.5 months in and just over it already I can’t believe the level of bullying and harassment from everyone especially surgeons and anaesthesia. I feel I’m just here to please and serve them, if things don’t go they want they scream. 😅

Nurses make six figures… lol
