When I was pregnant and took all the tests and such, I threw up a couple times. One time, a couple nurses rudely said "I am NOT cleaning that up... you do it" and the other "oh no it ain't my turn... you do it". When I became an HHA I swore I would never act like that. Ever. I was so embarrassed because if something I couldn't control. I wipe butts, clean up urine, help people during vomiting and bathe people and give them the dignity and respect they deserve.

[@eibealinsmith4584]

I definitely think it’s beneficial to become a CNA before your RN, I’ve been a CNA for 2 years and going to school for nursing and everything you’ve talked about in your video I have experienced as a CNA (cleaning feces, urine, vomit, and blood) which makes me feel even more convinced I can handle being a RN and also it taught me how to better be compassionate and empathetic to my residents

[@sophiabalan8174]

Thanks for sharing with us. By the way your baby girl is so pretty

[@iamKimberley.C]

Your video is so timely, I literally applied for a nursing programme today😅 for 2020 and I prayed for God to show me signs if it's in His plans for my life and if it will suit me as a person. Thank you for your tranparency and advice!

[@transitionsnc]

Mercy - Wow! You are really doing a service for people with these vids. I'm not a nurse but I work in the medical field in hospitals. Your vids are so real. I hope that people pay attention to them because you speak the truth in a positive way. Also, your daughter is so beautiful! Congrats to you and your husband!

[@jessicaflowers6795]

I’m not even going to nursing school but I watch her videos because she’s pleasant and gorgeous!!

[@sixteen.candles.4644]

Exactly same here. Anyone i see pursuing the medical field is just very refreshing.

[@AuthenticallyAmaris]

going to school for nursing and I just pray GOD controls my gag reflexes because smells take out

[@msal3515]

Me too, I like helping people however I have a sensitive nose. I hope essential oils will help. You can do it girl!

[@Thera-Bri]

Honestly you’re so personable! I’m an occupational therapist and I’m watching a nursing video all because of how engaging/educational you are!

[@melissagayheart7716]

I use to be a nurse aid at a nursing home, I know I was just an aide and not a nurse, but I did a lot of assisting people with activities of daily living, including, dressing, bathing, changing their adult diapers, and I felt horrible for the people, because ur right...they once were independent people like u and I ❤️

[@intrepidtomato]

I really like how respectful you are about patient dignity, this is so immensely important. You have such a great attitude

[@78vette11]

Nadia is too cute❤️. Every year for the past 25 years I’ve been telling myself nursing isn’t for me. I’m still here

[@decoratingwithjazigreen]

My hat goes off to you and every other good nurse. Nursing is definitely not for me, I’m one of those who can’t take the throw up, poop or a lot of blood 🤢🤮😷 Thank you for sharing 👍🏽

[@eluyadav5448]

Z

[@tastelikechinahadababyandn9928]

do u have children?

[@decoratingwithjazigreen]

Taste like china had a baby and named it America Yes I do

[@YaGirlSyber]

I told KZbin I didn't want to see the negativity as a student beginning nursing classes and clinicals this week. And it still suggested it to me. so... I've given in. Maybe I do need to hear it 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@RoselomonTV]

*She's so gorgeous! Hi Nadia! She's grown so fast! Your hair is gorgeous! As a nurse, I've worn (still wears) a lot of hats. Here in Finland, I've cleaned all types of stuff with different smells. I totally relate with the shaming in nursing, somehow nursing supervisors tend to check someone off by just one thing (what they don't like). I love caring for wounds and my nursing friend can't stand it BUT she does it nicely when it's her job. I hope I've typed what I really have in mind to say. Listening to you and commenting seem hard for me to do😂😂🙈. Loads of love from another nurse KZbinr ❣️*

[@amanii97]

Thank you for this video! Because of this can admit to myself that I always wanted to be a nurse because I wanted to be a NICU nurse or Labor/Delivery due to my own experience as being a premature baby and I was one track minded and like you said that’s not how it works when you graduate from nursing school and if you’re smart you’ll take any job that you’re given and everything you said in this video! Spoke to me! I realized nursing is not for me and that’s okay! I discovered that I still wanna be in healthcare but just not nursing 😍 and I been in college for 3 years doing prerequisites, I decided to just do Medical Assisting that won’t take me as long and I know it’s something I’ll enjoy and other things besides healthcare I like that I can make a passion out of that I know I’ll love! That’s what it’s about doing what makes me happy!

[@natenix5371]

These are some great points you brought up. I work in a hospital can't believe some off the things said about the patients. My daughter and son are nurses also my advice to them was don't go into nursing for the money. Really care about the patients be a good nurse. Be safe and God bless.

[@Dagoodnurse]

The only smell that makes me want to run from the room is melena! 🤢🤢🤮🤮 My pet peeve is people that remove bedpans from someone, then don't cover up the contents of the bedpan while they walk to the bathroom or soiled utility room to empty it. It's horrible to see, and God forbid an accident happens, exposure to body fluid occurs. This is especially true on my unit; Emergency room.

[@SB-131]

I am not a nurse but I get to work with them professionally and I can not tell the admiration I have for these professionals. I get so many great personal strategies by watching them. “Personality skills on steroids”. I am dedicated to compassion and respect but nurses have a grace that I aspire to. I’m so glad I found this channel!

[@hyosomoo1437]

I wish I became a CNA before going to nursing school. I feel like I wouldn’t feel as incompetent right now if I did. Only a few smells bother me and make me nauseous. I smelled C.diff and I surprisingly wasn’t that bothered by it. I always have a poker face or have a tiny smile when going into smelly rooms. I don’t want to make the patient feel bad. Some nurses wear masks 💀. The sound of suctioning doesn’t bother me but I don’t like seeing spit. I would rather suction than clean poop but I will have to do both. Vomit bothers me too. It’s both the sight and the smell. The sound doesn’t bother me. Blood doesn’t bother me at all. I remember crying as a kid because I hated seeing blood but it doesn’t affect me at all now. Wounds don’t bother me either but they do freak me out. It’s just crazy how bad some wounds can get. I wouldn’t mind cleaning them. I just feel bad for the patients because I know some of them are in so much pain. My only issue is communication. I have a social anxiety disorder. I think once I get that under control, talking to patients won’t be as bad.

[@destinydavis5621]

😅 so much to get used to. I feel like I will be a nervous wreck for a while but hopefully get used to all of it 😬

[@Lovelyleyy]

Great video! I have no problem with any of those things! I get it we are all human and we all have a body with poop, blood, veins and we vomits and get sick! If it was like something else it’s different I definitely think nursing is for me. On the other hand surgery is what seems scary like cutting up a person and seeing the inside like ohh no😓🥴

[@msT-hm5gg]

Thank you soo much for the honesty!! Nadia is a doll!

[@jenniferwilson1689]

Heyyyyyy Mercy!! Another great video!! All you said is so true! For me The smell doesn’t bother me at all, blood, vomit etc... It has to be in your heart & you have to have passion to become a Nurse. Awesome 👍🏾 Video as always!!☺️😘

[@jenniferwilson1689]

Mercy Gono BSN, RN ☺️

[@ameliareid3360]

Thank you Mercy🤗❤️I start nursing school Monday, I’m so excited😆. Btw, Nadia is so beautiful, I know you’ll be a great mom.😊

[@melissagayheart7716]

Omg ur baby is sooo adorable!!! She melt my heart!! 💗💗

[@taraspeaks6293]

If you just in it for the money, just to be a boss, cause your bored, cause your family is making you , cause your friends are going to nursing school or out of obligation THEN PLEASE DO NOT GO TO NURSING SCHOOL!!!!! These are the nurses that get on the floor and makes everybody life a living hell. Pray, ask for direction and be mindful of how your potential career may affect your future co-workers. Is ok to say " you know what this is not for me". I respect those ppl even more. I have been a C.N.A, now an LPN and currently working on my RN and I re evaluate at every level. AND GUESS WHAT IF GOD SAYS NO THEN IT'S NO. If my motivation, care for others and drive is gone I WILL NOT NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE LIVES OF HUMAN BEINGS IF I CAN HELP IT. God bless all nursing students and nurses.

[@lilRed0009]

I disagree with the fact that nurse clean up vomit or bowl movement or pee. Cause I work in housekeeping in a hospital and they always page us to get up. Like always!!!! I may be not the talkative type. But I feel has if I’m meant to do some else. I can’t seem to get nursing out my mind.

[@fatimadiallo6947]

Hey beautiful Nadia. She's adorable ❤

[@ednaaalin]

All these things you mentioned, I totally see myself doing them all without problems. Vomit, BM cleaning, Wounds, smell, blood Etc I changed my major from Nursing because, I would get excellent grades in every other course, but could not get an A or B in a science course. 😞I would study on my own and with a study group but would never get a good grade. It got so frustrating, so I quit in college. Everyday I still feel like oneday I would like to be a nurse. But I have a hard time with science courses.

[@hyosomoo1437]

You got this. If it’s for you, you’ll get there one day.

[@msal3515]

Find out what type learner you are. Not to be funny, but you may have ADD or something. I do, but I get good grades in Science. I have to draw picture, watch videos, do things like picmonic so the info can stick in my head, so I can retain the info. You may just be a person that has to study 5 times more than others. I do know you can do it. God ask us to pray for wisdom if you want it. Do this daily!

[@selimacarson7528]

Thanks you as always for great video. I have realize that it really does take a special person to be a nurse. I’ve have people to discourage about becoming a nurse because they don’t make money. I tell them that nursing is such broad field and I can and will become a nurse. I really appreciate your video because the give me so much motivation to continue no matter what. I’m get there but I might have to take an no traditional route.

[@dejaweja208]

I don’t like the sight of vomit either I hate seeing people throw up but I’m willing to get over it because it’s just one thing

[@thenoella24]

YOU ARE DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE NURSE! Keep it up. your videos are so informative. xo

[@zhanehoward4699]

Girl the smell part is 100% true! Never smelt anything worse than a GI bleed, I think that’s the worse thing I’ve ever smelt while working.

[@jillsdasilva]

Is it inappropriate to wear a mask when cleaning up poop? (So the patient can’t see you breathing through your mouth?) If it is, what advice do you have to deal with the odor?

[@maryfoday9592]

Girl you're the best 🎓

[@justblissful2708]

Wound care.. The smell of stage 4 decub ulcers still haunts me and I dont even do bedside nursing anymore

[@gordo_005]

I'm a CNA right now it definitely has its highs and lows but it's not to bad, im thinking about going to nursing school.

[@raeRenae1]

I been a nurse for years, I can deal with blood, poop, urine, and horrific wounds. But the mucus smell from trachs 😩😷 Btw I worked vent unit you would never know I was gagging on the inside lol. I learned to subconsciously not breath through my nose

[@fu840]

Notification squad💕

[@kimberlybrownimkim980]

Yes gurl wounds from cancer smell the worst

[@nataliepham9042]

Thank you so much for the video! It’s really helpful!

[@gisellemendez6433]

Hi Mercy love your KZbin channel, can you please do a video on how you were able to go to nursing school, do clinicals and work at the same time? I’m considering going into the nursing field because i love helping people and i feel as though a career in nursing would be good for me however i work full time during the day and I read a lot of things about people not being able to work and do clinicals and go to school at the same time. I live on my own and I’m starting to get a bit discouraged. can you please give your input! How did you do it?

[@rebecav3380]

Any recommendations for me? I cannot see blood! After I gave birth and I stood up for the first time and saw all my bleeding I passed out. I want to be a nurse, but idk why I get a hot flash and so dizzy when I see blood. I’m only with poop, throw up doesn’t bother me but blood is a different story! Anyone out there that is a nurse and use to hate blood?

[@rbraxton00]

Awww that's so caring. Yeah nurses have to be nurturing.

[@madisonprescott2756]

I love all of your videos! You’re soooo beautiful and you have a beautiful family!❤️ much love for you!

[@jahzlynjohnson]

What is your opinion for those who want to still be a nurse, but may start off having troubles dealing with feces, vomit, smells, etc? I know nurses won’t have to deal with it their entire career since there are many specialties, but you still have to have those 1-2 years of bedside experience.

[@ooMONKEYoo]

Thanks again for your HONEST videos.

[@teee6790]

When I graduate high school, I really wanna be a nurse, but I can not stand the sight of vomit. I could clean the BM, blood & pee. But not vomit I guess I’m gonna have to learn how to get use to it somehow.

[@Purpl3Pe4ch]

I know this is nowhere nearly as severe as the things you mentioned in the video. But at orientation for my program today, this girl got so upset about not being able to wear nail polish that she said she was about to walk out. I thought well if she's complaining that much about something that minor, then maybe she should leave...

[@hyosomoo1437]

Reminds me of the girls I overheard last year. One girl told the other “we’re not gonna be able to have nails [extensions] in nursing school” and the other girl nearly had a fit. 💀 I love having long nails, whether they’re natural or artificial but I’m willing to give them up.

[@MalayaJ]

thank you for your video mercy.

[@Nahml]

Your hair is so pretty

[@NellyMacharia]

Thanks now I know deep down nursing is not for me

[@MalayaJ]

THE BABY IS SO CUTE I CANT SHE LOOKS LIKE MY BABY ava

[@petrzelka8321]

I remember one girl in my class couldn’t stand the sight of blood… I always wondered why she decided to go to nursing

[@MsGeigei]

There will be blood...awesome video.

[@michellelove6581]

Nadia is adorable ❤️❤️❤️

[@michellelove6581]

I’m in my second year in college and I want to be a nurse and your channel is helping me a lot you deserve way more subscribers

[@ravenbradford5351]

I'm starting to think that this isn't for me..😟 I may go into radiology..

[@kljamison]

Raven Bradford I don’t like wounds or poop but just because you don’t like it don’t mean you can’t go for nursing . Nursing is sooo broad.

[@kairascott1716]

This was definitely a helpful video!!

[@blackandwhitelove6477]

Great video as usual. Bonus: visit from Baby Nadia😍😍😍

[@blackandwhitelove6477]

Hey cutie pie😍😍😍

[@popcornpenguin8561]

OMG your baby is SOOO CUTE!!!

[@mishca5116]

"queen of code brown" . you're too funny but so much truth in what you say. Thank you for these videos! I feel the same way about vomit ; I find the mask-wearing really helps with this situation, though.

[@dixiedoo5876]

Beautiful mom and beautiful baby!

[@Nikkimariex3]

You are so beautiful!! I love watching your videos 🥰

[@jasminehill5744]

Loool is diapers the appropriate term? We can't say that where i work, it's really frowned upon.

[@_ashleyjl]

No 😭 I pray that I overcome the smells. I gag at the smell of rotten milk, bad breath, stink trash, etc. Are you allowed to where a face mask?

[@sesshyishot]

the answer is yes!

[@_ashleyjl]

sesshyishot Bless! Glory to God! Thank you 🙌🏾 Because i can see it but if I smell it it’s game over

[@missuniquaj]

Yes you can. Afterwhile, you with get immune to the smells. Try putting vapor rub on the top of your nose

[@princess287love]

Ashley Louis that’s what I’m saying. I need a mask! 😂

[@kljamison]

None of the places I worked at allowed masks for smells, it was a dignity issue

[@sourcandy1143]

Can you talk about the managerial and leadership part of nursing Sometimes I feel like loving my job and enjoying it but other times I just feel like hating it . Maybe because I hate our administration and my head nurse /supervisor for being unfair with scheduling and vacation planning .

[@maricelg777]

I am proud of u

[@rosewilliams7285]

You're so wonderful truthful ,thanks so much

[@ndiama9288]

Great video...very very informative

[@JL-ei4sc]

I’ve been a nurse for a year and I’ve smelled shit, throw up, blood, fungus but baby let me tell you this guy came in with a fresh ileostomy bag and mind you I’ve changed colostomy bags but the smell was so ... due to him having diarrhea I had to step out for 5 seconds after removing the old bag then comeback in to put the new one on. Now I’m used to it though lol

[@bossytweed6664]

I volunteered in an ER for a year and nothing took me out like burned and rotting flesh😩😩

[@cheyfyffe]

The video starts at 3:38

[@cheyfyffe]

It’s still a great video!!!

[@iamlauren_marie]

This why being a CNA should be mandatory before going to nursing school.

[@fantapikinfofanah4656]

Hmmm that a lovely daughter

[@zaire-aniyarobinson2928]

The smell is going to be hard :( but I am willing to learn so I hope that helps

[@Covergirl005]

Your professor said that??? that's not okay. some professor's are really not that great

[@MaddyLee99]

Once I get past how disgusting a wound probably is, like bone or pus or something, I find it interesting. I saw a picture of an eyeball hanging out of someone’s eye socket in one of my mom’s EMS books for a class she was teaching and I’m like my mom with being able to deal with anything BUT eyeballs😂 but once I got past with thinking that if it was my eyeball like that, I was fine and I just stared thinking about what it would look like if the eyelids were open but that’s for another day another time 😂

[@MaddyLee99]

That and one time my brother stepped on class and was trying to get it out of the bottom of his foot he accidentally pulled some stuff out that should have stayed in and I cringe and curl away at the thought of what it might feel like for a second, but past that = interesting af . It’s always the matter of what it must feel like is what gets me for a while

[@jesuschristislord633]

Nadia looks like her dad!!

[@mckenziepickett188]

Thank you!!!❤️

[@YaGirlSyber]

The one thing that bothers me is parasitic wounds. Geez. Blood, Mucus, Fecal Matter, Vomit, Urine does not bother me.

[@psatinstormyrahchelzeruiah9615]

The Male patients in the homecare I think need more meal prep I had a Male PT. His wife was like a retired nurse but his meals were bad I felt bad serving it n accidentally burnt 1 he had like white castle burgers n soda

[@kealebogaaobakoe4087]

What about stitching wounds ??

[@Dagoodnurse]

Nadia is so beautiful!

[@sarahthomas2506]

It's better to be a CNA, for a least about 2 years before leaping into being a nurse! You have a better idea if you want to move on!

[@pinkpanda5696]

The problem with that is that the pay is too low (at least around here it is). Otherwise, I wouldn't mind at all.

[@acer8405]

Number one I'm out got a weak stomach

You're so pretty!

[@tastelikechinahadababyandn9928]

i cleaned up running poop and vomit from my son when he was smaller and then on top of that took care of myself my ex and my son when we all had the stomach flu. I didn't know how i managed to think of that pink medicine and ginger ale would cure all of us but it did. I wanted to punch my ex in the face for giving me and my son the stomach flu. And worst scenario we were all using one toilet inside a hotel and i over heard workers saying what the fuck is that smell!? I really cant stand being sick and I would not be able to do it because it will be grown ups, I still dont know how i manage to clean up after my son but no one else was around to do it so i had too.

[@enejimmie825]

How can we send you a private email?

[@hassanyay5163]

makes no sense for someone to go school for years to clean anything. Like wtf do they teach that in schools
