I'm a nursing student too! Unfortunately, I've had mostly bad experiences with docs and residents but watching videos from Dr. Mike and Siobhan (ViolinMD) make me so hopeful that we are going to have more doctors that are going to actually be team players. Healthcare is a team effort between everyone involved, including CNAs, nutrition staff, and countless others that are all involved in patient care. Good luck with nursing school if you haven't finished already! You got this!

Mr. & Mrs Smith : I know that the pain of a gallbladder attack can be excruciating!!! I had my first attack when I was in my second trimester of pregnancy. Being a military spouse, I went to the base hospital because the pain had me doubled over. When my nurse there tried to explain to the doctor that my symptoms seemed to indicate a gallbladder attack, he kept saying it was probably an ectopic pregnancy or appendicitis (even tough I not longer had an appendix!!). I knew it wasn’t an ectopic because since I worked in Labor and Delivery (RN) at the off base hospital, we had used the fetoscope to hear the heartbeat (this was before fetal monitor machines, EFMs). That doctor ignored the nurse and my classic gallbladder attack symptoms and did the painful procedure used back then to check for ectopics. Needless to say, it wasn’t an ectopic pregnancy and I was admitted, then I had a nasogastric tube put in and it was connected to a low intermittent suction machine (not fun at all) plus IVs in each arm for the antibiotics.

[@sylvietillman3091]

when i was in the hospital the nurses were so amazing. i was in after a suicide attempt and my nurses and security guards would talk to me when i couldn’t sleep, offer water, food, coloring books just like i was their child. it was those small things that started my recovery. i cant thank them enough. my goal is to become a nurse and help others just like they helped me

Thank you for that! We really don't get the gratitude that we deserve. But when you lose a patient and the family hugs you tight, you know that you have made a difference and it isn't all for nothing. As an ICU nurse for 10 years, I have had my share of threats, guns pulled on me, bomb threats, punches, pushes, etc. But I have also had my share of amazing and meaningful days. Days where I laugh, cry, save a life, help a suicidal patient, make a patient laugh who is depressed, joke around and most of all love my day. Doctors like you are what make our job easier and more fulfilling. I love being my doctors right hand man, we are a team and it makes it more special when we function like one. ❤❤❤❤

[@emmaniskanen154]

Chris Kearns I don‘t believe that. Surely there will allways be that one person who does but in general becoming a nurse and working as a nurse needs so much selflessness and passion for what you‘re doing and so much empathy and kindness towards the patients and so much thinking and knowledge that someone does not go threw all this to get rewarded by treating that one rich patient. I have seen it with my grandma, I am seeing it with my aunt and I saw it with all the different nurses that I have met threw my hospital journeys so far.

I started school for nursing because I was raised in a rural, very economically depressed area. The only careers I saw growing up were in healthcare. I didn't know anything else was out there. I just knew I wanted an education and a career and nursing seemed like the only option. Let's just say I'm glad I got out before I even got in. I realized very early that my reason for choosing nursing was a very bad one and I would have been absolutely miserable as a nurse. I became a scientist instead- definitely the right choice!

I also volunteered at our local nursing home when I was a teen (in the 1960s). They knew that I was going to go to become a nurse so they taught me about how nurses worked. I was allowed to help patients with bed baths, fed those who could not do it by themselves, and did whatever they allowed me to do. I was grateful for this as it helped me later to be able to adjust to the frantic pace of nursing a bit better than those who had no hands on experience at all.

My mom is a nurse and has been for 30+ years. She saw a doctor not knowing how to do a procedure properly a few months ago. She stopped him and reported him. It was really fun because no one really took her seriously and she had 20~ years of experience over the people she had to report to about the incident :))))

[@slcRN1971]

It usually isn’t a pleasant experience when having to report an incident like she did. When I had to report an incident that really was a big ‘NO-NO’ where I worked, the doctor was not ever even a bit pleasant to me after that (he was reprimanded and he actively tried to get me fired). I had made sure to go through the proper channels as per hospital protocol.

I definitely agree about what you said about nurses. My grandfather was in hospital for two months because of a big tumour in his throat. Yesterday he passed away from pneumonia at the age of 86. Anyways your right about the nurses. When he was in hospital he saw a doctor for about 15 minutes each morning. Everything else was nurses. Since this got so many likes I’m going to write some things I know the nurses did. Every time he clicked the call button they came, when he wanted to move from his chair to his bed they helped him, when he wanted to go to the bathroom they unhooked all his machines. They checked up on him hourly, cleaned out his tracheotomy, brought him for walks around the hospital which required two nurses, the did that even when their was no order from the doctors to do so. They also organized with the help of others for him to go home for a day. He loved it. I am forever thankful for those nurses at Muskoka Algonquin Health Centre.

When I was a junior resident, I had some rough shifts in our cardiac surgery ICU - where many of our patients are on the brink of total cardiovascular collapse (i.e. "crashing") - and I can honestly say that on more than one occasion, it was the quick thinking of a critical care nurse that saved our patient's life.

Nurses low-key do 98% of the front lines. As someone who has both been admitted to and seen loved ones in the hospital, nurses are intense. They do a lot of the messy stuff that people don't always notice.

[@siali8683]

And most people don't get that this job is both physically and mentally intense. When I started, I remember having a good cry when I came home after my first death - and that after a 10h shift and having to be in the hospital again within the next 12h. It's just messy sometimes.

[@slcRN1971]

Aqua Li : I certainly do emphasize with you. Back in the 1970s when I first started out as a new RN working in a very small hospital, I stayed busy from the time I clocked in (time cards back then) till I left (usually late so that I could finish all the necessary paperwork). I was usually the only RN for the whole place (evening and night shifts) that meant not only patient care but also all of the respiratory and physical therapy treatments. I learned so much though as it was a job where I would either ‘sink or swim’!! Orientation back then was only two weeks at that hospital and after four months I moved to another state.

[@GreyPunkWolf]

What I find very disturbing is when I hear people in my field (restauration) whine about the price of the healthcare system and the idea of paying people to "scam" patients with "fake" medicine. I'm in france btw so even the price argument makes me cringe VERY hard. And they spit on the whole healthcare units as a whole for just misunderstanding the field and the work that gets done there. While whining about clients that whine when they don't understand that a good meal takes time to prepare. It kills me every single fucking time. Some cooks should just talk to pans and stfu when it comes to social interactions really.

livepassionately247 Well thank you. And I would definitely see if you have a “teaching hospital” in your area. Ones that train residents. They are much more likely to let you shadow a nurse for a shift. If there’s a certain field you think you would be interested in ask that manager. I have never seen them turn someone down wanting to watch and get a feel for it bc school isn’t easy and no one wants you wasting your time if you get in there and don’t like it! I would also read on some websites “there’s a ton” about nurses experiences good and bad. I picked nursing to begin with well my mother and grandmother are nurses and also like he said the stability, the options, etc. my mom loves geriatrics. love labor and delivery. And have done travel nursing. Got to see Hawaii. There are so many options. You can do insurance and be at a desk or trauma and have fun shot would patients. Sounds like an easy question but trying to explain I feel like I’m not answering you the way I would like to. My first thing is think of what you would be interested in and then find a teaching hospital that will let you shadow. I love having people shadow and teaching so I hope you def do so and thank you so much for asking. And I’ll check back see if there’s anything else I can help you with. Give you my twitter. Or whatever else I can do to help. Ty Again! Sorry meant I love labor and delivery would t let me edit for some reason but got into it bc family my mom and I graduated together lol. But stayed for the love of patients and coworkers!!! So don’t be discouraged if don’t like one field you thought you would there are hundreds out there.

It would have been wonderful to have had more doctors show such respectful professional curtesy back in the 1970s and into the 1980s. Back then there was a joke (now an old joke).

When I was the sickest I'd ever been, just woke up from a 7 day induced coma, one of the nurses that worked with me put off her lunch to help me hobble to the nurses showers. She got a shower chair for me, and those mini shampoos, so I could have a real shower. I felt so gross and demoralized when I woke up and that shower made me feel so much better. It pushed me to work harder when the PT came and feel like I could have friends visit which made me feel even stronger.

Hospitals have became a business, not a healthcare facility. Same for long term care facilities. Look at cases coming out of those places. Nice video. Though! Thank you!

Hey Dr.Mike! Love the recognition of Nurses Week. I am a Lab Tech and would love to see you do a video about the multifaceted aspects of the ancillary services. Not enough people know what else is out there besides being a doctor or nurse! We’re all a part of the medical team and I would love to hear what some of your experiences are with maintaining those relationships. Take Care!

[@Sizzlik]

Im sorry if i sound like an idiot..but what does a lab tech mostly do? Analysing blood, pee and poop to find out the problem and right medication?

[@sarabowen366]

Sizzlik, no problem! Yes essentially we test bodily fluids for a wide range of things which in turn, provides possible diagnosis and antibiotic treatments when needed. Labs in lager hospitals typically are ran in separate sections by different people in: Chemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunology, blood bank, histology, shipping, and processing, just to name the bulk. It requires us to maintain equipment as well as ensuring specimen integrity. There are many requirements for different tests. I like to spread as much knowledge as I can because it’s not as simple as it looks at face value. A lot of frustration comes from miscommunication or lack of explanation. If you work in the medical field, we are usually very nice and have no problem helping you out if you ask!Truthfully, there is a lot of details that goes into testing so I can’t really type it all out! Hope that helps a little though!

[@Sizzlik]

I know most of the people in the medical field are really helpfull and nice. And you answered my question, thank you =) What lab field do you work in, if i may ask? (And i know its uncalled for..but you are very beautifull..not a flirt, just a compliment)

[@sarabowen366]

Sizzlik thank you! I vary between Microbiology, immunology, molecular biology, and parasitology. Sometimes fungal work but not as often.

[@Sizzlik]

Thats pretty impressive..i like the field of micro biology (not that i know much about it)..all this little wonders on microscopic level and how different cells interact with each other..its facinating.

[@Ryan78336]

When I was a student nurse, I tried to talk to one of the doctors at a small country hospital about his patient whom I ha reason to believe was experiencing a slow GI bleed which had the capacity to become a hemorrhage and needed to have an endoscopy to investigate and was shut down based on my being only a student and whats more, just a nurse. The patient was slowly dropping their pressure, was experiencing abdominal pain, signs of shock and melina. Also, his emises had evidence of hemoglobin. Latter that day his pressure dropped massively, his abdomen became distended and he had to be rushed to the nearest major city for emergency surgery. It was very frustrating to me even then not to be taken seriously in spite of the numbers and the data on the basis that I am just a nurse. I don't know if that patient is still alive today. From the moment I had taken a days worth of vitals on him, I knew his thermodynamic status was poor and that that hospital was not equipped to deal with it should he crash. and he did. that equals wasted resources, That patient should have been transported sooner so that he would be treated sooner. It wasn't until he crashed that the doctor saw fit to do something. If a nurse comes to you and you're a doctor and they tell you they are worried for a patient and that's reflected in whatever data they can provide about their condition, for god's sake go and see the patient!!!! On the flip side, another time I was admitting a patient to rehab and taking their pulse and ECG, standard practice in a rehab ward. I noticed her radial pulse was highly irregular, as were her heart sounds. She was also talking loop diuretics and cardiac glycosides. Her legs were extremely odematous and her ECG showed non existent P waves, irregular QRS complexes and at least three PVCs. I took this ECG to her doctor and explained to them, their patients ECG was highly irregular, she's been on these drugs for some time with no effect so she was at risk of toxicity and I pointed out the PVCs. They listened and then without a word to my background, took the ECG paper and walked into her room. I found out latter that day the patient' dosages had been changed and she had had blood taken for therapeutic levels as well as a cardiac enzyme and FBE. I was astonished, that doctor actually listened to me despite my being a student nurse and in bringing it to his attention, its likely together we saved the patients life. I was exhilarated. I may be a nurse, but I live for those times I get to work closely and collaboratively with doctors because those are the times when I learn the most.

Most nursing schools in Germany require that you complete a 6-8 week internship before applying to nursing school so you get an in depth look at what you can expect from the career. (There is also a requirement for doctors during med school to complete a nursing internship to help them appreciate everything nurses do, even though this is unfortunately rarely the case. Both from doctors side and from nurses side who tend to just have the med school interns do all the unwanted jobs instead of showing them what being a nurse is all about.)

Hey Dr. Mike, I love the fact that you have such respect for your nurses. I'm currently in school on the road to my nursing degree. I do however wish that others in the medical community could be recognized with the same level of importance. I work as a housekeeper at a nursing home. Housekeeping and maintenance staff within a medical facility to me, is part of The medical community. The language and attitudes towards those of us who aren't on the "clinical" side is to say the least offencive and heartbreaking. Sadly I myself was told in the nicest way possible that my role is equal to that of a slave with pay. People tend to forget that germs, viruses, and any number of infections are all around us, and we who clean help to keep us all safe. How can we help to change these attitudes? How do you view the housekeeping and maintenance staff within your facility?

When my son (age 3-7) was going through his treatment for brain and spine cancer-atypical anaplastic ependymoma, the doctors were wonderful, but it was the nurses that made the journey that much more bearable. After 4 years getting to know them we grew to love them and they became a second family to us. I remember every morning for we'd have to go into outpatients of the pediatric oncology ward and get GCSF injected into my son's insuflon, he was always so frightened it would hurt because if you went too fast it would sting him. Being only 3 at the time it was hard to explain to him that he would be okay. Those nurses went above and beyond (every morning because short term memory loss from treatment) making him feel safe and secure.
