[@crazy808ish]

That is not "work ethic". That is somebody doing what they love and have a passion for. You do not need an "ethic" to do something you love, properly. "Work ethic" is too often used to socially force people to work in areas they are not happy in, otherwise they have a "bad work ethic". It's not a one size fits all! You're the one admiring work ethic... Would you be happy working 14 days straight? If not, then it's not something to be congratulated. It's something to be understood as a very specific situation. If her youtube channel didn't show her life so much, I would be really concerned she had something bad going on in her life and was just burying herself in her work. That something else that happens to people too.

I loved floating! It's always good to be trained in other areas, even if it means losing your prime assignment LOL. When I floated to the maternity ward, I got to feed, change & snuggle 17 newborns!!! I almost didn't go home! LOL I know you're tired girl but you will have a PHAT paycheck!!

Props to all the nurses out there! I used to want to be a nurse until I realize it is not for me. I don't like being in busy environments and prefer to work by myself self and I absorb people's emotions that I interact with, so a hospital is a no go!

I am a float, so I don’t know where I am working until I get to work or if I call or get a text before. I usually get a text an hour before . At first I was terrified bc of being out of my comfort zone. I was somebody who hated to be floated off my unit once a year so this was scary but I wanted to try something new grandma comfort zone also the pay raise was nice 😁 it’s been a year now and I absolutely love it it only took me about a month if that to get used to it and now it’s like the whole building is my unit Lol I feel like I know everyone now I know way more nurses and AIDS than I would have before and I have learned so much!

Working this many days in a row is rough. I don't know how some nurses do it consistently... I work with a nurse that is on day 324 of consecutive 16 hour shifts!

You look so healthy and rested, I'm amazed that your schedule doesn't leave you looking weak and haggard. I work constant night shifts at a semiconductor company, and with the stress, takes a toll on my body. However I'm probably nearly twice your age, so that would make a difference I suppose.

[@Infinitykk]

I like how you go to work early and just sit in your car for a bit to clear your mind and have some "mental sanity check". I unknowingly do that too and I personally find it as one of my most important routines of the day. I get to work early and just relax in the car for a bit to process how my day's going to be like. Maybe because the drive and traffic might have caused me to lose my mind a little too which is why I go to work early on purpose to cool myself down.

[@sunshinegirl1967]

Sometimes floating can be a better thing than working on your own floor but it just depends on the situation. It's never something you want to hear when you first come in because a familiar hell is preferable over an unfamiliar one. I once worked 22 days in a row! It actually got easier rather than harder as the days went by.

[@al3xis777]

Miki, I just found your channel, and I'm binge-watching your videos. You are an absolute idol! I have two more years of nursing school and can't wait to be a great nurse like you

[@DrAdnan]

Dang, two weeks straight is rough- props 💪

[@TsukiBabii]

Same!! I don't enjoy floating...but that's mostly because I work on an unit where the team is so awesome. We genuinely have so much fun together even when times are tough. Especially because I work in forensic psychiatry myself, and without my awesome team, I wouldn't survive. That's what ultimately drove me to get a FT position on the unit rather than have any chances of floating lol. The one downside is having a prime assignment/primary patients that don't change...and it isn't always fun to work with particular patients day after day.

[@alexon6707]

I had that experience before as well...14 hours shift alternatively for 14 days non-stop. It was totally a nightmare for me, and terrible month in the ER

I've worked 30 days in a row. On hard concrete factory floor. No sitting around. 12 hours a day. I wish I did filmed my experience there. Right now as I think to those 4 years that I've spent in the factory. They were fairly interesting lol. Usually after day 9-10 you just go into "robot mode" and just do the work. I remember I never complained that hours were long or job was hard or repetitive. Nowadays, I wish how I would have spent my early 20's dating and building social circle and getting education. Instead of working my ass off.

Sounds like nursing is a good way to burn out before you hit 40. No way you can stay in this profession until retirement at 65.

[@kygje8338]

in nursing you can move around so much. you can start out as a ER nurse per say and then move into becoming a triage nurse. they sit in the front of the ER and take a patient's reason they are in and take their height and stuff like that. it's not always running around and working your ass off

Lol my mom is 60 and certainly hasn’t burned out since she became an RN at 22. She absolutely loves being a nurse and it completely depends on the setting you work in.
