The Difference Between Care & Caring

This multi award winning video talks about a time of increased demands on our healthcare system and healthcare providers, ensuring that each and every patient and their family members are provided with compassionate care is a massive goal, but one that the staff at the Royal Alexandra Hospital are pursuing every day. Good quality care is always important, but caring for our patients is what they will really remember.

[@BigManErik11]

Beautiful. Hospitals and healthcare isn’t scary. It’s peace. You give and give and give. We might not have the best of salaries or working conditions, but we are here for a reason, to help, to make our world a better place and to give to our patients. Everyone will be here someday. That’s why caring and good healthcare is so important. Because we never know how much good healthcare means, until we’ve experienced it ourselves. We stand united. Thank you.

i will literally move mountains for my patients.

Literally??

[@carrieleann5623]

Literally?

[@urmyfuture1945]

Me too

[@lorenkeathley106]

Yes! Always going above and beyond to the point of personal exhaustion, just to forget one ketchup packet or not bring in the correct soda and be called a worthless POS who doesn't care about them and what they need... But you only forgot because you had a pt down the hall screaming for a loved one that died 40 years ago, and another needing assistance on the toilet to have their first BM in 3 days...

[@cassiopeiaAlbascot]

When the word 'literally' becomes a metaphor in itself

[@katieftme]

These were my patients up until they passed away. I cry every time I watch this video

[@Annymae]

It sounds like you gave them the best care anyone could have and made their last days on earth as special as possible. 😇🙏 We need more nurses like yourself who don’t just care but are caring. ♥️

[@eimychinchi]

it's so touching to see that people don't only go to work to WORK but to CARE as well.

[@mauricionoyoladequiroga5322]

my arms hurt for moving patients my legs ache for being standing up during a blue code my eyes are red for being awake during nightshift my phone is saturated with unreplying messages because I was delivering a miscariage patient to the nearest GO especiality hospital wich is 2 hours from my town but im not tired. As long as there people that need me, I wont be tired...

[@kingdomthings9887]

This is so touching! Wish everyone could experience love like this at some point in their life!!

[@DrRohit-hz6gk]

ifty so true buddy

[@helenrogers5569]

This video reminds me of how as a nurse, we used to be allowed to be "caring", not just to give "care". The demands we now face don't allow for "caring". New nurses are taught "care" not "caring".

[@heatheranne99]

Not true. I was shown this video during a lecture by my nursing school professors. Many many nursing schools show this video and teach caring above care.

[@michaelrauch8629]

My teacher emphasis caring above all

[@yenlinhdonguyen4846]

this is not true at all. i am currently in nursing school and all of our teachers teach about caring often more than just care

[@SUGAplum711]

Hi Helen! I am late to this party, but I can say five years later that nursing schools today are absolutely teaching caring, in addition, to care as we navigate a post covid, understaffed world. I am really sorry for any negative experience you may have had in the past with your nurses, and I hope that we can make it up to you moving forward

[@benjamindavila7831]

This deserves an oscar. After seeing this video, I can proudly state this as soon to be a nurse, it is a privilege position and hard working job.

[@pauloss4225]

wow, so powerful. it's hard not to cry watching this. My dad died about a year ago. I am so grateful for all the healthcare staff who took care of him in his final hours. They are true heroes to me. Sometimes angels walk among us. I am so grateful for their compassion and dedication.

[@dr.dansadowski2763]

So proud of the RAH staff that I work with every day.

[@leva208]

This is so touching! Hope everyone could live in love and peace! Thanks and may God bless everyone.

[@jennifersatterfield1069]

just watched this today at orientation for my new hospital job. Cried my eyes out.

[@nursemika6697]

I'm balling...people just don't understand all we do...but so glad we do it!

[@shellamelinia2606]

I really like this video, because I know how difficult the task of health workers never stops providing good service to cure patients. especially elderly patients who remind their own parents, such as we serve and pay for everything parents have given. I like all parents in the world 💕

[@hindubako1413]

It is so touching, for you to listen people's stories from there you understand their happiness and worries.

[@Sherirose1]

I love to be caring but often I'm squeezed just to give care. I'm going to continue keep the passion of being a caring person to fellow workers and service users. I love nursing but it hurts when some colleagues treat you and service users as numbers.

[@queenofadorbsthings]

I love nurses so much because their angels!!

[@Heather-oj7ps]

There truly is a difference between care and caring. ❤

[@deborahmears2027]

We are all so blessed to have jobs here but even more so, we are part of a huge family and how we care for those members of our family is up to us. What an amazing and wonderful reminder-I agree with Cara-show us more videos like this to help spread the message!

[@hollym4171]

This is a touching story/video. My personal families experience unfortunately was not as 'caring'...or even based on good practice of 'care' for my uncle in emergency or in Robbin's...for the most part, I know it's not really the staff of RAH that is responsible, it is the healthcare system cut- backs working the employees ragged.

Incredible display of storytelling. Were these actors? Or all a true story captured during natural moments?

[@beed3202]

My daughter was one of the actresses in this film. When she was called in to work on this film, she had been sleeping beside her very ill grandma, in the chair beside her hospital bed, for two weeks, and had taken on her full time care at home for two years prior. It was real and raw to her.

Edmontonians are just like this, if they know the difference between care and caring, then they would see that knowing is distracting and stressful so they avoid it, just look at the Hope mission sidewalks.

A very sad moment in life,

[@amandayoung4991]

Unusual 'magical' stories are nice, but how about consistent quality improvement and ensuring basic care and caring always occurs? Getting the basics of care right isn't heart warming or feel-good, and doesn't make a moving video clip- but it means the world to patients and families. My experience of the Royal Alex is that the basics are woefully lacking and inconsistent. I now lecture in nursing, and will use this video for critical discussion on the disparity that exists in caring environments.

[@RAHFoundation]

Hi Amanda, thank you for your comment. This video was originally created as an internal video for our hospital staff, to remind us of why showing compassionate care is just as important as medical care, especially to the patients and their families. It was the start of an active movement at the hospital, lead by management, to provide the support that patients and staff need to be able to provide a patient-centred environment and exceptional patient care. The story was based on two real patients and the care they received at the Royal Alex and where the love story behind the story is truly magical, it is certainly not a one off story at our hospital. Thanks so much and have a great day.

[@adelletaylor1858]

I also teach nursing. The instructors here teach basics and teach them well. However, basics without humanity is not nursing. Anyone can be taught to do skills. It takes someone special to view doing those skill as an honor and a privilege. It takes a caring, compassionate, well-taught NURSE.
