Nursing Is the Best Career | 10 Reasons Why

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

Which reason most important to you?! ♡

[@BoltCRNA]

Because nursing is synonymous with healthcare. You can be anything from an LPN passing PO meds in a nursing home all the way up to a Ph.D. who was the interim surgeon general of the United States.

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

Yes!! 👏

[@dearangel9535]

My fav: Meaningful :)

[@NeWcOmErDP]

Flexibility with scheduling

[@MelloneeKecia]

Flexibility when it comes to scheduling 🤗

[@MichelleO099]

I agree with the dress code idea. Although I am super into fashion when I go to work I really don’t want to think about what I have to wear. I leave the slaying for outside the hospital.

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

Yes girl! Save all your fashion for your off time 😍🙌

[@CR-zl1px]

I love what I do. I’ve been an RN for 5 years and prior to that an LPN for 15. I did the LPN route first because I didn’t know if I could go straight for my RN. My daughter was 3, and it was a sacrifice, but I always had flexibility with my schedule with raising my kids. I later completed my RN in 2013 and LOVE what I do. It is very hard work, but I can’t imagine doing anything different. I’m on my way towards my BSN then CRNA if life allows, if not I’ll complete NP. I just have to see that I can save and afford school so it doesn’t hurt me with student loans. My husband admires the field so much, he just completed ADN program passed his boards and is currently working as a second career at the age of 50. He loves what he does and never thought he would be a nurse, it’s hysterical watching him put on his man-ly compression socks. Thank you so much for your videos, your journey is so inspiring. Thank you.

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

That's so cool that your husband went to nursing school too! Love your journey, thanks so much for sharing. Good luck in school and choosing 💓

[@CC-br9qg]

nursing embodies all of the traits i want to nurture in myself ❤️ caring for people, being there for people in hard times and being able to make a difference, compassion, empathy, and meaning❤️

[@ellekendrick4751]

I 100% agree with this list! The most important part to me is the option and opportunity for higher education with the promise of job security at the end. So many people pursue their masters/doctorate and then have trouble finding jobs that pay in correlation to their level of education. So they end up underpaid and bitter. Nursing, the sky is the limit and no decision is permanent! Great video. Sharing to all who are on the fence about nursing school.

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

Yes I can't even imagine what it must be like to do all that work and not have a job at the end!

[@porkchop2218]

my manager with a masters just found out middle management is being cut back, and now she is along the side with me bedside nursing. same pay. bedside nursing is probably the safest bet

[@NaptuRo90]

Wow great point! I know someone whose in that exact boat, went and got their masters only to be doing a job a person with an associate or bachelors degree could do

[@joycemolina2702]

I'm a nursing student now and I just want to share my reasons here, I wish I could say it was some kind of higher calling, but I just wanted a job security and a line of work where I could interact with people and see the results of my work every single day, nursing turned out to be the best choice, a job presenting me an intellectual challenges requiring critical thinking and human interaction on daily basis , professionally and personally rewarding work.

[@howtomedicate]

Great reasons! However, beeing a nurse can be really hard, but very rewarding at the same time. Respect to all the nurses ❤👍

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

So true!

[@NaptuRo90]

I love how you said, “Meaningful work” that’s exactly why I want to get into this field!

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

[@sarahlofino9923]

I love your videos 💙 I start my ADN program in August. It's been a long road to get where I am today and I'm so excited. Please keep the videos coming, you are my inspiration! Love from Ohio 😘🌞

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

Congrats!! That's so exciting! Enjoy the rest of your summer 💜

[@shivakumarshindhe2695]

Nursing is the most safe and always increasing reward. The hospital experience leads to your higher salary. Nursing is the most trusted and respected profession all over the world. I am perceiving my bachelor's in this. Being a student nurse, i realised that the percentage of nurses in each country is lacking. Nurses are always job secured, the all mentions done by you are truly commendable. Yes we get less salary in the beginning, but it is not false that our salary increases with our experience. Thank you so much mam. Your words has hit the hearts of thousands nurses who are going to make a real change in the people lives. Love 💕 u so much

[@porkchop2218]

I have been a Pediatric nurse for 30 years. and yes talk about variety I've done it all. full circle at 61 years of age in back to bedside nursing on a general peds unite. I have survived many economic recessions and crises and never been out of work. "thank you MOM'" My mom is who talked me into going into nursing. In high school, I would have laughed out loud at the idea me ALL BOY going into nursing. It is a very rewarding profession. You mentioned trust. I think trust is the biggest thing we deal with. God has entrusted me to take care of our most precious commodity our children as their life may hang in the balance, we are trusted to even up the odds of their survival. My gift back to God is to do the very best that I can do at my job.

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

Big thanks to your mom! Pediatric nurses are so special 💜

[@torihewitt4256]

Love your videos!! All of your content on nursing is amazing and so helpful. I’m in the process of making a career change to nursing and have been very nervous about it but every time I watch one of your videos it seems like the best decision in the world. I think the most important reason is never getting burnt out bc of the lateral mobility and opportunity for higher education. Thanks for all of your insight into this field, your videos are beyond helpful 💗💗💗

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

I'm so glad it helps you! It's normal to have doubts. You definitely won't get bored because you can do whatever you want and change it up! 💓

[@BoltCRNA]

These are great reasons and I definitely think the travel nurse option is magnifico. I'd be interested in seeing a list of reasons males go into the nursing field. With society often perpetuating the notion that men are doctors and women are nurses it would be a nice contrast to see if men have the same reasons they chose nursing as you did.

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

That would be very interesting! You should do that video! I would love to get your insight on it.

Hey Rhianna! I love LOVE your videos. They are very informative! Can you do a video of what you dislike about nursing?

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

Yes! That is so important because obviously there are some not so great parts too. Thanks for the idea.

[@monsuratoladipupo8498]

I love this video! I take my nclex tomorrow , I’m straight out of college with my BSN, and this gave me motivation and reminded me of all the reasons why I chose this great field! I love nursing because I was able to get a job secured way before graduation, and many of my classmates as well. I have a new grad position in the cardiac surgery ICU at a level 1 trauma Magnet teaching hospital starting soon!. I hope to go the CRNA route eventually. I love your channel because it gives me a bit of insight into what life will be like. But for now I’m focused on gaining as much experience as I can as an ICU nurse. You are awesome!

I'm doing an access (to nursing) course in September, and am thinking of specialising in mh nursing.The modules (of the access course) are physiology and anatomy, social policy and psychology which all really interest me...Although I'm not 1000000% sold on nursing yet, this video and videos like it are helping me evaluate the pros and cons and giving some insight

[@antonboludo8886]

I am a guy who is thinking of a career in nursing. Both my male and female friends are mocking me, calling me a faggot. Why would they think like this? Overall nurses are actually closer to the suffering of the patient.

[@talker51292]

Well said Rhianna! Nursing is such a rewarding field to be in. I like what you said about job security! I want to travel and live in different states, knowing that I can easily find a job wherever I go is awesome!

[@MKae98]

I completely agree! I think nursing is an awesome career! I am currently a nursing student in my last year of nursing school and I am also a nurse intern. I think you've pretty much highlighted the major reasons why nursing is a great field. I personally love that I have 4 days off! I only work three 12-hour shifts a week and I love that. Great video! I actually would like to hear you talk about some of the cons of nursing or just things you don't like about it. I personally do not like how at my hospital, nurses are limited to what we can wear. We can only wear certain types of scrubs and certain colors. This isn't too big of a deal, but it's just something I'm not a big fan of. What are some things you don't like about nursing?

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

I'll make a video about the cons, great idea!

[@yvonne6515]

I also wanted to know if I should take advantage of a medical assistant program in my school. Unfortunately they don’t offer CRNA which would be better. Medical assistant seems interesting as I can also be certified and work right after and that would be a nice job to save and support family while doing nursing school in between

Hi I remember in one of your video I think you said you attended JMU for nursing unless you didnt my apologies. Was that a direct entry? I also live in Virginia and wanted to know what the best nursing colleges in Virginia were because I heard UVA was good but hard to get in and GMU was good and for my gpa seems more realistic.

Hi! Yes I attended JMU and it was guaranteed acceptance from PVCC where I got my ADN. I forget the exact rule but I think you had to have a 3.0.

I would disagree imo, nursing is underpaid and you only get good money if you do OT and traveling RN with OT. That would strain your body. Very underappreciated profession and lifelong learning which is not for me. Just my two cents.

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

I think it depends on the area you're in but I can see your points!

What exactly is med surg??

[@TheSchoellerFamily]

Medical surgical nursing. Basically everything you could ever think of!

[@kcphinatic4297]

Is it meaningful to be abused and overworked? Who doesn't love helping people? But let's get real. Big healthcare treats us like commodities and machines. Big health care no longer sees nurses as sentient human beings with feelings and physical needs. I honestly cannot remember the last time anybody in management or otherwise ever came and made sure we were getting a break. A 12-hour shift and we are happy if we get a 30 minute break? It's now considered a privilege to get a break. So sick and terrible and evil and sad what is happening with healthcare. It is corrupt beyond imagination and it is all about money. 31 years as a nurse and I can remember when it was rewarding when it was better. It's only gotten worse and continues to get worse. Everybody knows it. I don't know of one nurse who is happy and loves their job. Why do you think people are moving around to get the travel money? We are being squeezed until every last drop of blood and sweat is given to the corporation.
