Things I Hate About Nursing

[@MたいしS]

All I can say is when I get out of school, no nurse is going to be bullying or chewing me up.... yeah nope. There’s no room for that kind of foolishness in healthcare; when I am the old nurse decades from now, that bullshit still won’t fly when I am there.

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Taishi Singleton Well said!

[@merlinel3855]

When do you graduate?

Taishi Singleton I heard you’re basically teaching yourself 😳

[@MたいしS]

@@merlinel3855 Yup :( and my first clinical is this Friday!?!

[@KatherineSkittles16]

I’m a pre-nursing student and work at a doctors office. The gossiping and patient ignorance is such a huge thing. This is so true even at my clinic. At the end of the day I remind myself to stay focused on my work and don’t take to heart about the public’s opinion because I know what is right and what isn’t 😊

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Kathy Yes! I completely agree:)

[@wehttamak]

when you have a lot of females you tend to have a lot of gossip, a lot of infighting the males in nursing well we don't stress the small stuff

[@SimpleSuzie123]

As a female nurse I can definitely confirm that there is more drama among fields with predominately women vs. predominately men. Usually units that have more gender balance have less of this issue. Most male nurses work in the ER or ICU so those types of units may have less of this problem. Also, in terms of nurses eating their young, I don't think I have had any personal experience with this. I think medical professionals eat their young in general. Have you ever thought of all the things medical residents have to go through before becoming an attending? Any noble profession will come with great challenges. Many times the people in your profession will be the challenge. It's important to stay grounded and get the skills you need so you can move on to better jobs or careers in the future. Just my 2 cents. Great video as usual Kaynen!

[@kaynenbrown5102]

SimpleSuzie123 I agree with everything you said:) Thanks for commenting!

[@jeanlanz2344]

Kaynen, you show a lot of insight. Thank you for sharing your experiences in a compassionate way. Also, your description of dealing with aggressive, addicted and criminal people in the ER shows the difficulties our nurses and doctors have to deal with and I'm sorry for that. It takes courage to persevere in those situations.

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

Respect to nurses like you that are self aware and stand up for the profession. I'm curious what you're thoughts are on Med School Insider's comments towards nurses. I'm a pre-med and definitely took notes on that video! It was "What I wish I knew before becoming a doctor".

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Norcal Hey, thank you so much!! I just watched the video you were addressing and I agree with him:)

[@CALISUPERSPORT]

@@kaynenbrown5102 good to know. And didn't realize you were also going for PA, nice! Thanks for the info!

[@jocelind658]

My mother is a retired nurse , Whenever I would visit her at the hospital I noticed the drama, Not towards my Mother but towards others. You have to have a vocation to be a Nurse. Nursing is a very hard profession. I am in healthcare but not a nurse!

[@evamariebam]

Agree! 👋 Nurses eating their young is real. Correctional nurse here! Nice content!

[@Miaonroblox]

How is correctional nursing?

[@braxtonfrench2474]

Very good video. Nurses do alot in the hospital, especially good patient contact and good autonomy. I'm a pre- med student, I will always respect nurses even when I become a doctor.

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Braxton French Same!!!!!

[@tanyalewis2873]

I’m glad you were there to help your female co-workers. You’re well spoken and seem to be a hard working young man. You will go very far in this field. I really liked this video and completely agree with all three points you made. We just want to be good nurses and help save lives. That’s it, but unfortunately we must take the good with the bad.

[@Kendrick_RN]

Love the video. Having 4 years of CNA experience I have definitely seen this stuff happen. Great video man. Loving the ERForum

[@kaynenbrown5102]

SRN Nunez I appreciate you brother! 😎

[@1995kevyn]

I completely agree with you. Nurses that I work with are horrible and take advantage of the new people. But I love helping people and just ignore that part.

[@salahadeen7785]

They even take advantage of male nurse?

[@MsJennjenn22]

Working as a cna while attending nursing school, I feel belittled by my fellow cnas, rns, lvns. I love and enjoy my cna position, but my employers overall work me, I just finished 3x 16hr shifts. That is also exhausting and days like that, I question my call of duty to become a nurse.

[@katherinecruz3818]

Nursing student here and I like your content! I just subscribed... glad I listened to this video.. I did learn a few things from you and now know what to expect once being a RN on the floor.

Man, i agree with all of this. I felt number one real hard. I’m not even a student yet just volunteering and day 1 was like ok I’ll just go figure something to do. This past Sunday was WAY better. I actually felt useful for what i am allowed to help out with. Great video! Another banger!! Peace love and positivity 👌🏻💪🏻😎

[@StoryoftheEye]

The first point you mentioned will also be discussed during orientation, which highlights how big of an issue it is, yet it is still, sadly, an ongoing problem.

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Aang Mangum Your schools orientation? It’s a big issue:/

[@StoryoftheEye]

@@kaynenbrown5102, oh, I meant during the job orientation process! I realized several of the hospitals I applied at mention how so and so will, ‘‘eat their young.’’ It not only pertains to nursing, but the hospital culture, overall. For instance, my friend who is a respiratory therapist, along with someone I know who is a physician told me they mention that exact statement during their first few weeks of getting employed. It is quite saddening, hah. Hopefully, we will see a paradigm shift in the forthcoming years. Also, how are the physician assistant interviews going!?

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Aang Mangum Ahhh okay!!! I have only had one interview thus far and I think I did a pretty good job! It’s still vary early so most schools won’t be offering interviews until after September!

[@StoryoftheEye]

@@kaynenbrown5102 , ah, that is right. You will do great in the following interviews. Best wishes with everything!

[@bellefeu4933]

You can say, "when you get a lot of women together". No need to separate this into "people". No sexism here, it's just how it is because of evolutionary competitiveness. The "nurses eating their young" saying happens way more frequently in nursing than in any other profession that I have ever seen. Keep killing it!

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Bellefeu hahah thank you!!

[@andreaswells1712]

Preach !!

[@OosundayoO]

Some of the male nurses I work with gossip more than the women.

[@stevens1-o7s]

I'm not a nurse but my mom is, seems like the "nurses eating their young" thing is women politics, but could just be a workplace thing too. I was thinking I was going to go the PTA route but after seeing the questionability of the future with recent changes and even PTA's complaining about recently being out of a job for the first time and a lot of competition, nursing school again seems like the route for a good secure job that's available in any town and city

So true about women being clickish, gossiping, and conspiring.

[@DabidRobinson]

I can totally relate with the negative attitudes. Some people have attitude for no reason...

[@christina_rn504]

Although I’m in nursing school, greys anatomy is a guilty pleasure of mines lol. Small obsession. And I know it doesn’t show what really happens in the hospital, but it’s a good fictional show.

[@swiftkarma4436]

Trust me that isnt fiction. It happens in LTC.

[@trevordillon7512]

Great video!!! You are 100% right and I couldn’t agree more with all of these aspects. And honestly, even though these are negative aspects of the field I appreciate the way you present them and still maintain positivity overall with yourself and advocate for a better workplace and how you don’t worry about it. Some people on KZbin will definitely make these kinds of videos but then will spend 15-20 mins bashing everything nursing but I appreciate your outlook on it and your advice on the matter! It’s just an odd mentality that nurses have that discouraging other nurses or bullying them or competing with them overall is ok and it’s just “tough love”. Nah, make me feel apart of a TEAM that I’ve been eager to be apart of since I started college. Thanks for keeping it real, it’s appreciated!!! 👍🏻

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Trevor Dillon I’m so happy that you seen I tried to still keep the video positive. Thank you so much!!! I completely agree with you. Feeling left out is never an “okay” thing for any profession.

[@lesliejohnson2188]

Thanks for sharing this Kaynen! It helps with understanding where nurses are coming from/ perspective and motivates me to advocate for nurses even more :)

[@alexandrelucienne]

I’ve been working since I was 16 and the best job but low paying was a cashier job at Burlington coat factory that had a variety of races and sexes. The worst job I had but highest paying is nursing because the staff is predominantly female who are PETTTTTTTY PETTY miserable Katty girls who find things to blow your happiness. And if you don’t clap back as my passive self has done for a while it continues but clap back show your knowledge and don’t hold grudges it’ll dissipate slowly.

[@ToriFranco]

I start my official nursing program in September and I’m so damn nervous but i definitely am of the same mindset. I don’t care. I am gunna learn what I have to in order to become the best nurse I can become regardless of the older haters haha

[@myman163]

Coming from an indian family and wanting to be a nurse I can speak upon how people don’t really understand what nurses do... indian people say nurses are basically a doctors b*tch and it’s hella annoying because a nurses job is just as important and maybe even more important in some aspects when it comes to healthcare

[@margueritedolove5070]

Yep - educate the public by demonstrating with competent practice. I’ve been doing that for a long time. The things you mention are problems that have always been present in this profession. We just have to continually work around and through it - you cannot allow yourself to get smothered by it - otherwise you will end up gone.

[@mochabetty]

Trust me, take it from a female, you were right with your first statement, there are a lot of women in nursing and, unfortunately, women tend to be catty and clickish, some can be extremely petty. Eating their young is very real and is a huge negative for me as well. Great video!

So I recently changed my focus from biology to nursing, and hope to get into nursing school next fall. I'm taking my pre reqs at CBC in Pasco, WA (same college you went to for a while I believe). What tips can you share about doing well during the application and interview for nursing school? I have a 3.77 so I'm not too worried about grades, but I'm terrible at interviews lmao. Thanks!

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Daehan Harris Hahah Pascoooooooo😎. You’re correct I don’t believe you will have a grade issue. In terms of the interview I always recommend people “be themselves”. What I mean by this is rather that rehears your answers for possible question they will ask you, only practice what you would say if ask certain questions. “What do you want to become a nurse”....don’t have something memorized, but rather have a story or situation in your head that you would like to tell them. This makes your interview sound so much more personal rather than rehearsed. Do this for all of the potential questions they may ask you. Focus more so on what story, event, experience etc that you could talk about rather than literally word for word what you are going to say.:)
