Quitting Bedside Nursing… To Work From Home!

[@ByTheShepards]

Y’all! I totally forgot to share but also - there was a shooting at my last hospital in which two staff were killed! That has to be the craziest and saddest experiences of all, and I couldn’t share before because I didn’t want people to know where I worked. But yea, super wild!

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

Oh, WOW! That's crazy. I'm so sorry to hear that 😔 I can't imagine how hard that must have been for everyone involved. We are living in the last days. I can't wait for Heaven! 💗

[@thenurselife242]

Wowww this is what im nervous about, these crazy scenarios

[@oscarmbugua3119]

Which state please

[@Abmarp]

No way. wow. That's cray

[@deannawitt9376]

Im a RN and I've worked from home for the past 17yrs now. Its the best! I work for a major healthcare insurance company. You will love working from home.

[@ellif3392]

Which company do you work for?

[@alexandraappeigyei1724]

Since I became a nurse, I have had multiple horrible experiences involving lateral bullying, because of these I have been unable to maintain a job and I don't have much experience in a particular speciality. I have been getting close to god during this hard time, cause only God can help me through this season in my life. Hopefully I can come back with a testimony. I would love to be part of your Bible study group.

[@tammie212]

I’m so ready to step away from the bedside😳I’m an RN who’s a Travel Nurse and I’ve been following you for couple years! You’ve been an inspiration and pleasant to watch! Thanks for always sharing❤️

[@ByTheShepards]

Thank you for watching! I hope you find something in your timing. There’s soooo many options in healthcare, thank God!

[@lorientheresa4844]

Well, I've taken the exams for the 6th time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it. 😥💔

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

Hi Courtney! I’m currently in the nursing program and graduating this December 🥹🙏🏼💗 God is so good and I have grown in my faith and walk with Jesus throughout the program 😭 This video was so helpful! Thank you for sharing this side of your life with us. May the Lord continue to guide every step of your life! "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." -Matthew 6:33

[@ByTheShepards]

Congratulations 🎉 December is right around the corner! Thanks girl

[@WordsPictures997]

Congratulations on this new chapter! You really come off as super pleasant. I'm so glad the medical field got to experience you as a bedside nurse. It's a special blessing when you have caregivers who aren't just book smart but also have the heart and Grace to handle people well. Excited for you and this new chapter in your life!

[@ByTheShepards]

Amen! Thank you for this!

[@Brinicu]

So happy for you! This is so inspirational! ❤️

[@Mspapaya212]

hey Courtney! thanks for sharing your journey, i started following you when i started working as a nurse and i as well am leaving bedside! after two years of working as a nurse in the heat of covid on the critical care floor, it really took a lot out of me especially working night shift. definitely looking for a better work life balance. I should be starting early June if all goes well and im really excited to see what life is going to be like as well. congratulations on you're new beginning! i would love to see content on how you transition from delivering bedside care to delivering outpatient care. :)

[@Mai.TappedIn]

Thank you so much for sharing . I love hearing about the wholeness in who you are . Mom life , nurse life , wife life , god life . Thank you because im struggling and I’m only one year in . My peace of mind is so important to me right now and my spirit no longer feels that same excitement.

[@clarissaleinbaugh4150]

I’m so glad I found your channel! I’m in the same boat right now. Raising a family, starting a MSN program this spring, and searching for a work from home position. I have had no luck. I keep praying, and trusting that the lord will place me where he wants me to be ❤

[@Christine2012able]

Hi. I’m telemetry RN and also a believer. I practice in Canada, but I recently obtained WA license to do some travel nursing in the US. I was looking up travel nursing videos on KZbin and came across your channel. I am absolutely enjoying your videos and encouraged by your love for the Lord. I’m feeling a bit nervous to start this journey, but I’m also excited for new adventures.

[@Lolasante]

Wow I’m right at the place of wanting to transition from bedside travel nursing to a wfh position. Joined this field to get closer to God n ppl by serving the sick n vulnerable bt once I got to kno all the extras that goes into nursing, it’s been burdening me for years that this may not be for me n I gotta make a change. Been sacrificing family, friends, connections, time to myself n the Lord n enough is enough. I just extended one more month but I have to pray for the Lord to guide me in my next step bc I’m not serving him at all in this position. Thank u for sharing this, it gives hope, also with the Bible study group n finding ur place in that n going to seminary school, that must be an amazing feeling. Ok, heading off to my night shift, pray for me y’all! God bless🙏🏾✝️❤️

[@calledbygrace-fionaokwado5125]

This video was so helpful and encouraging to watch. I have been in LTC working as an RN for 3+ years and I have always wanted to work remotely. I prayed and God blessed me with an at home nursing position after 3 months of searching. Thank you so much for the update and information. Praise God!

[@Abidjan-weekly]

I tap into this blessing! Looking for my home base job too.

[@nateashacarter9826]

I am doing bedside as a traveler and I really want to work from home. But I’m not sure what position titles to look for most of the ones I see when I search are nationwide but no one seems to recommend actual positions in their videos to search for

[@kinder7513]

Congratulations on your new position❤🎉

[@gailjohnson382]

I started watching you on the Dear Future Wifey podcast. I'm a CPA. I really enjoy what I do. I just enjoy your transparency.

[@thenurselife242]

I just found you AGAIN lol but im a nurse & small YTber, moving from The Bahamas to Dallas soon...are you still there? Its also good to see a different aspect of the healthcare field.

[@royjohnson9043]

How do you like it so far? Are you heavily monitored?

[@chatassia]

Hi, Courney! I know what you mean. When I was in seminary pursing my Masters, I learned that studying about God does not replace fellowship with God. School can definitely have you so busy that it’s difficult to just lay out at the feet of the Word, rest, and enjoy it as you did pre-seminary. I’m about to finish my doctorate and though I’ve gotten more balanced, I look forward to getting back to my best self in His Word. May you find peace, strength, and balance on your journey❤

[@ByTheShepards]

Thank you so much for sharing this! It gives me hope that balance comes and it will get easier 💓

[@chatassia]

@@ByTheShepards You’re so welcome! 💕

[@roxannenoriega5661]

Nurse here. I'm in FTW, may i ask what Seminary you chose?

[@nathananderson8720]

I am also a Nurse. This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my KZbin channel 7 months ago about self development. Now I have 702 subs and > 200 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place. This channel also inspired me to upload my recent videos to share my opinions about the main things that truly impacted the way I live. They're a couple of my most vulnerable videos that I've been hesitant to post for many months because of the fear of being misunderstood but I finally decided to overcome that fear so others can learn from my experience so we can all grow together. They're packed with valuable information about the relationship between a job and happiness.

[@ByTheShepards]

Congrats on starting your channel!

[@The1hottwin]

Pls give me info on how i can start working from home! Im in RN and im tired if bedside

[@Upgradevee]

Congratulations. ❤

[@ByTheShepards]

Thank you!

[@user-rn6pk4dz4f]

Nurse, God bless ya for sharing! Technological harassment is a HUGE thing in the remote environment. Because remote nursing is becoming popular and technological intrusion is too ..what can a nurse do if she is working remotely and starts experiencing harassment?

[@AdvancedNursesEdConsultant]

Continue to enhance your skills

[@MrIowahawks77]

Congratulations well deserved

[@ByTheShepards]

Thank you! I am SOOOOO excited for this change.

[@MrIowahawks77]

[@Lori_belle23]

Great honest video! I’m an RN looking for remote options and also a Jesus lover. ❤ I am experiencing a toxic workplace environment now and I’ve got to get out! It’s so draining! As a mom of 3 sons…My advice for you as a nurse mom is do what gives your heart peace. If your heart wants to be full time nurse you can do it but let others help! If your heart wants to be home with your kids and your finances can allow it…be home more! I only worked 1-2 days a week when my kids were little and I wouldn’t trade those years for any amount of money. ❤

[@ByTheShepards]

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing those words of wisdom. These are such precious moments that I absolutely don’t want to miss.

[@DariTrinidad]

How did you find your WFH position? I’m having a hard time finding jobs

[@ByTheShepards]

Hey! I joined a Fb group called “remote nurses” and there was a wealth of free knowledge. People just sharing their experiences, interviews, & companies they apply to! Also don’t be discouraged! I applied and was rejected for months before I landed an interview.

[@royjohnson9043]

whst is the name of the position?

[@c.j.7812]

How was it being in nursing school? I am planning on going back to school for a career change. I am still trying to decide between nursing or social work to become a therapist. I like social work because I love counseling people and helping others. For nursing, I love learning about the body and health. I want to help people get well and learn to take better care of their bodies. I just want God’s will to be done. I have wanted to be a nurse years ago but let the fear of nursing school being hard stop me and now years later I feel like I’m doing that again and also seeing all these videos on KZbin of nurses saying “I quit being a nurse” but yours is different because although you quit bedside you are still in the field of nursing. I honestly don’t want to do bedside nursing at all lol. I want to be a nurse to go into other nursing fields. Any advice would be helpful and also please pray for me that I would get clear confirmation as to what career path to take. Thank you.

[@fitnessbabe7958]

I’m planning to attend Nursing school in 2024. I hope Jesus will help me to be able to withstand bedside. I’m really interested in PICU then study Legal, forensic or CRNA. Thank God there’s also other areas Nurses can do very well in so I plan to have a side hustle doing Esthetics. Nurses can also work for Tesla.

[@tammie212]

CONGRATULATIONS

[@biblestudyqueen20]

Wow our stories are so similar

[@stacie7925]

I've been a nurse for 18 years with 2 kids 11 and 15 and my husband works nights so working in a hospital setting is NOT possible. I currently teach at my children's Christian school but i desperately need to be working from home for the sake of my family. I have my MSN and im also a devout Christian but the amount of remote job postings is so overwhelming and ive worked in all varieties of nursing as well as taking breaks at times over the years. Im in Florida and can't travel what does this community recommend

[@chellemswainrnbsn382]

Hi, Can i get the zoom information for the bible study?

[@ByTheShepards]

Hey! I actually stopped hosting the zoom Bible studies when I started Seminary BUT they may come back in the future ☺️

[@jelisamaria]

I follow for Bible Study

[@ByTheShepards]

Love to hear it 🙌🏾

[@brittanybooker2670]

Can we get more content from you? Like similar to your single life videos or something along the lines of your day to day?

[@ByTheShepards]

Hey Brittany! Honestly, I’m not passionate about sharing my day to day life. If I find something helpful or feel led to share of course I will. But my strongest desire is to help my audience know the Word of God more through Bible studies. There are tons of great vlogs to follow tho! I’ve seen some while scrolling 😊

[@lovlydy1470]

Hi Courtney, congratulations 🎉 for your new job! And to be honest with nursing, we need to be very strategic and specially when you have a family or start a family. I'm on my 3rd and final year, and I'm a mum of 1 plus bonus mum of 3 now. To be honest I don't see myself doing besides. I live in London and luckily for us we can work as district nurse ( meaning treating patients from the comfort of their home, patients that are discharged from hospital) and the work hours are 9-5, you don't do night. As a wife, I feel like you need to be home for all your family. Anyway, I praise God for your new job 🙏🏽. I wanted to know if it was possible to do a video on giving some tips to new grad Christian nurses, who actually want to work bedside. Because I don't know for you in te US, but here in the UK, they are pushing a big agenda that are not the same as our values and to be honest, I'm asking myself if us Christian we do have a place in this nursing world. Like here in England, a nurse has to be removed from a work place, because she was wearing a necklace with a cross linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.nursingtimes.net%2fnews%2fpolicies-and-guidance%2flondon-nurse-wins-case-for-unfair-dismissal-over-religious-necklace-10-01-2022%2f&c=E,1,OhDb1CykmCuVL3U2U0uCSLgKqkO9qZQyKsWcB0W4DJJr01TMAsfjRoJ8M_xIiLTeKnxCMg_9YX5HCx5OWaftpT6-43BBybx1cn-u7WQ1ftt-4Q,,&typo=1. I know the enemy is trying to put me down, but lost of my Christian sisters nurse are just asking the same question. Hope that wasn't too much asking. Take care, and God bless, a sister nurse from London.
