Watching this after a terrible, HORRIBLE 14.5 hour shift with no lunch. I am so emotionally drained that I started crying when you talked about how much you love nursing. And nurses are caring and love our community. That is why I got into nursing. Thanks for that reminder!

[@Laurinska08]

Rachel Weber girl I feel this was stuck at work during a snowstorm and ended up being on the floor from 7am to nearly 1am because the person who was supposed to relieve me called out 13 hours in advance. Even worse, they knew they had no one to relieve me but didn’t tell me to the last second. On top of that was supposed to finally leave the floor and my pt fell of the floor into the Mat. The understaffing on my subacute ventilator unit is insane

[@njthepanda7912]

@@Laurinska08 That was very horrible and exhausting. I couldn't imagine myself surviving that. I don't know you but I feel like I want to give you a hug. But it's because of people like you, that nursing has become such a noble profession. The system sucks especially the understaffing in your unit. They should really try to fix that because we, nurses, deserve better. I hope you recover from that. Wishing you all the best!

I’ve been a nurse for 29 years. I started in a cardiac ICU. What has allowed me to avoid burn out is reducing the number of hours I work. I’ve known nurses who work 4 & 5 - 12 hr shifts per week. By the 4th shift they’re a mess. Not me! Two 12 hr nite shifts & one 8 hr evening shift was perfect when I had a school age child. Now I work 4 - 8hr shifts in cardiac rehab. At 67, I absolutely love my job & do not plan to retire anytime soon.

[@Tomatohater64]

After 32 years as an RN, my idea of a good day off is: #1: 3-4 hours at my favorite Barnes & Noble. #2: No company whatsoever. #3: No company whatsoever. #4: NO COMPANY WHATSOEVER! The money is good; the career blows. I laugh when I hear various nurses complain about money. I had to leave Pittsburgh to make serious money, but my girlfriend and I were traveling Operating Room nurses for years. We made "stupid money" working throughout New England. Our best assignments were working small O.R.s up and down the coast of Maine. I made well in excess of 100k annually in those years. For a single guy without children living in Pittsburgh, I saved and invested enough to be comfortably retired by the time I turned 55. And we never worked 12 months a year - not even close.

[@amberdean374]

Stephen Pruszenski that’s awesome!! I hope one day I can be that way with finances. I’m trying to budget and save but I do have kids 5 of them! So it’s a lot harder for someone like me.

[@leannepaxton5012]

Amber Gray , wow! 5 kids?! Yeah, that will be hard to replicate what the original commenter has managed to do! And to be honest, not many nurses would be able to do that anyway. Usually the best money to be made, working as a nurse, is through an agency. Or work as a casual employee. At least that is my experience working as a RN in Australia. Agency nurses get paid way more than nurses who have a contract to work either full time or part time in a specific hospital. And with 5 dependants, it is better to have the consistency of a contract and guaranteed regular shifts. At least in my opinion. However, I would be very happy for you if you somehow managed to make enough money as a nurse to retire at 55. I don’t have any dependants/kids or husband, and I can’t imagine how I would be able to retire early. Although, that would be an absolute dream! That would be so good!! 😃

[@amberdean374]

Leanne Paxton lol!! It would be amazing!! I don’t know I’ll be able to come close but at least I will support my kids! That’s good to know about agencies! Thanks for that information. And yes 5 kids is hard work on top of school and a full time job while going to school full time! But I’m doing it with the help of my husband thank god! If it weren’t for my husband I don’t think I could pull it all off!! He’s absolutely amazing and so helpful and so supportive! He knows how much I love medicine and working in the medical field!!

[@leannepaxton5012]

@@amberdean374 , I'm really pleased that you have a supportive husband, because it would be so incredibly difficult to do everything you are doing, along with having 5 kids to look after without that support. I can only really speak of agency work in Australia, it may be different in other countries, however, one of the reasons why agency work is so well paid over here, is that through an agency you don't get paid holiday leave or paid sick leave or paid maternity leave. Also you are not usually guaranteed shifts or a set amount of hours to work per week. But if you are willing to work in any area of nursing, and you live in an area with plenty of hospitals close by, you should be able to get plenty of work. If you specialise in a specific area, one that not just any agency nurse could go work in for a day, you will be even more in demand. For example, I have worked as a RN in renal dialysis for 12, almost 13 years, it's an area that only experienced dialysis nurses can work in. No dialysis unit would accept any nurse to work there without the experience. Also having experience in intensive care nursing is a huge bonus. Emergency room nursing experience will always be a benefit. Find an area of nursing you love and go from there, get experience first. But if it happens that your passion is in a specialized area, not just on a regular ward (not that there is anything wrong with that , ) you will be in demand. One last thing, I know you have kids, but if you are willing to work public holidays, weekends, nights or even just the evening shift, you should get a higher rate of pay, depending on what country you live in. Especially public holidays. Where I work, agency and casual staff get double time and a half for working public holidays. So if your hourly rate is normally $40/hour, on a public holiday you would earn $100/hour. That's a decent amount of money for one day of working! Anyway, good luck out there. I hope you do really well. 😀

[@amberdean374]

Leanne Paxton thank you so much! I have thought of PEDs and PICU and NICU as well as OR and trauma. There’s so much to think about!

[@ekmickley]

When I was a new nurse, I would call my husband on the ride home, crying about how mean the older nurses could be, how the doctors could be such jerks, and how hard the shift was...He would just put me on speaker and watch TV while I cried and complained...fast forward 20 years later...I am glad that I stuck with it, and God bless my husband's soul for being my practice patient, my shoulder to cry on and my best friend for all of those years!!!!

Those stories really helped me in my journey as a patient, so I'm ALWAYS up for a crazy, somewhat morbid, or grotesque story!! That was our family dinners back in the day!!

So true of what you say. I'm not a nurse but I know how busy you guys are!

When the rice pudding you're eating reminds you of this wound you cultured... Makes for GREAT story time on date night

My fav nurse is Barry; I "think" his specialty was/is something like (I'm sorry I can't remember exactly!) But he was the nurse who took care of my dad after he had a massive brain tumor removed- he was a surgical nurse of some kind- he retaught Dad how to do everything before PT & everybody else ever got ahold of him! I mean, this dear man taught him to swallow his meals, how to use a straw again, got him up & walking...took out his main line (it was intense!) I mean- & made us all laugh! Then, he's chatting to us, teaching a nursing student to be excellent- then a pt next door starts screaming, swearing, and seizing- he runs over there & takes care of that poor guy! (There's A LOT of swearing on the brain trauma/surg floor, folks- pts just swear a lot & don't care- they have damaged brains on that floor) but we just adored him & still talk about him. I think God gave him the best post op, surg nurse! He carried a fanny pack on his waist full of everything including a flash light- he was just so cool! ❤❤❤Thank You, Barry. We never forget your awesome care! You inspire excellence in skill, care, and kindness!

I’m obsessed with this channel

[@chempanda6388]

Or.. how about dating in nursing school? Don't do it unless you're ready for the consequences of it not working out. Pros vs cons, seriously

[@laurent1144]

Other students? Yeah, no. Don't do it.

[@jen98640]

Yup....

[@samanthafabela5626]

I mean my relationship is pretty good but like he said we sleep when we hang out Bc I’m so drained from school 😅

Great job nurse Blake

[@Lauren-sc8ib]

OMG...I laughed SO hard at this video because it's SO accurate!!! My husband and I are both night shift RNs...I am SO lucky & thankful to have him because we know how hard being a nurse is. But literally everything you said is SO true!! (Ex. Coming home after work we avoid each other like a plague, get pretty much naked in the garage and hose down every morning before touchin because we have literal pee, blood and MRSA on us😅)

Stories is definitely me. They always seem to pop up in my head at the weirdest times and I have to share. And details, I HAVE to get into graphic details, especially if it involves any type of sebaceous cysts.

[@nigelfhs2000]

[@tracyired1182]

You are scrumptious! I want you as a bestie! i want to hear all the stories!
