Pros and Cons of ICU Nursing

[@Mainly-boy-outdoors]

Thank you for posting this. I just recently got discharged from the hospital I spent 99.9 percent of my time up on the pediatric unit I believe it was the trauma unit I got attached to the nurses and the floor and I miss the floor and the nurses. As of this last hospital stay I've decided to go back to school to become a RN but first I want to start out as a phlebotomist and then go to CNA and then RN I want to work in both the children's and adult ICU. I enjoyed watching the nurses do what they did to me I did bring them a little something to thank them for what they did for me I went to the store bought some fake flowers and brought them up after my last doctors appointment that I had they were glad to see me. I've been wanting to go back up to them and ask them questions about about their jobs so that I can learn more about this.

Thank you for the video Maddy! Just a suggestion for future videos, the music is a little bit distracting, perhaps lower the volume down a bit? Thank you again

[@NurseMaddyW]

Thanks for the feedback! Yes I will pay closer attention to the volume in future videos!

I forgot to mention that the reason I was in the hospital was because my appendix burst back in August 28 of this year plus I have a shunt the surgeon took it out because she was worried that the infection might have gotten into the tube and into my brain so 2 and a half weeks into my stay I got transferred down to the adult ICU and that Sunday the night charge nurse came to me and said I have good news for you your going back up to the Pediatric unit that's where I spent the last few days I had surgery to put my shunt back in that Wednesday. The night I got transferred down stairs I had Immediate separation anxiety.

The hardest part for me is to watch my patients die and watching the families greving. Look forward to your next blog. How is the moving or packing going

Would you say the training in the hospital prepared you after becoming a nurse or working as a CNA & seeing it beforehand?

[@NurseMaddyW]

Oh man…in terms of mental preparedness and getting used to the environment being a CNA. Obviously the knowledge from nursing school was vital and I lucked out with a few good nursing professors. But being a CNA in the ICU by far was the best decision I ever made
