[@leighannah45]

I work at a hospital. My job requires me to have contact with doctors often. I just wish they were as bubbly as you are. I consider it a good day if I only get yelled at by less than 3 doctors. Many of my coworkers comment, "if I had to be an OB/GYN and look at THAT all day, everyday, I'd be pissy too." But I never feel bad for them. They literally chose their career. If they hate it so much there are other options. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

[@ArmyGlamMonster]

Thank you for praising nurses! I loved hearing your perspective on what we do ☺️

[@theresam9513]

Hi, America. I just wanted to thank you. I found out I had been accepted to medical school a couple of days ago and I know I could never achieve that without you. Thank you so much for the motivation, for your positivity and encouragement. I really don´t know what else to say and for some reason, I´m tearing up a bit while writing this... Words can´t really describe how much I appreciate all the work you put into these vlogs. I wish you the best of luck. And also, let me just end this comment with one more thank you because you deserve it.

[@LivvyAlexW]

Your English is perfect!!!!! How is medical school going???? It’s been three years

[@ShowMeYourTeeth]

After a week in the Trauma ICU (Houston) last month seeing how nurses worked so hard to try and keep my father alive and comfortable... it was a real eye-opener how much respect I have for nurses. They are not paid enough ❤️

[@Jayjenk07]

Zarah Libozada I’m wanting to go from R.N. to med student. Hope you don’t mind me asking but is it a hard process?? It’s inspiring to hear that it’s possible

[@dolce.luna08]

@@Jayjenk07 we may have huge different process coz' I'm from the PHILIPPINES. Just like America, after graduating from undergrad in nursing and passing my licensure nursing exam, we also took an MCAT( we call them NMAT) then apply to medschools. I also did some volunteer work, leadership task and some research during my undergrad that will also help in my application. Then interview... And waiting for a med school to accept me. Being a nurse have a huge advantage in Medschools especially with clinical application because we already knew drugs, illnesses, physical assessment and other nursing skills. But I had a rough time with science based courses such as Biochemistry and Histology. :( But it is very doable. It's not impossible, tho it's very pricey. Godblessm

[@TheBalegdehShow]

I can't believe I won't see anymore of these 😦😦😭😭😭 I hope u film during residency 💯

When you're a nursing student and get to an outside perspective on your future career. Love you America!

[@rhiannondeveraux2378]

You are such an amazing person, and you're going to be an amazing doctor! It's so nice to hear from a doctor that a nurses job is important and awesome!! At the hospital I work at, a lot of the doctors are rude and disrespectful to all the staff 'lower' than them!

[@sevvalhamurcu1629]

WE MISSED U SO BAD

[@tunazzinamehjabin5118]

I was a physician in my country, immigrated to the USA a year ago. Started working at McDonald's, then as a doctor's assistant 6 months later. I wish I could become a doctor here, but by the time I go home- there is no time to study for the steps. So many of us get sucked into that vortex every year... I wish I could get back to Med school again, study my heart out, come out as the doctor in the end, not having to survive barely with the minimum wage. I love your vlogs, they give me the motivation to want to stay strong and focus. Love for you and blessings!

[@bezagebremedhine5102]

Hey dear I am deeply touched by your story. I know many doctors from my country (Ethiopia) also struggling to pass STEP and get into residency. Don't give up. No matter how long it takes, you gonna make it and you will become a doctor again. I know many success stories from people who have the resilience to continue. Don't settle for less. May God Keep you safe and give you the necessary strength that is needed to with stand such obstacle.

[@justbilkis5327]

Yes!! America uploaded. This is amazing. Best day of my life. So much of America. This is great. Edit: America just hearted my comment. Best day of my entire life

[@hollyoshea4558]

it’s so sweet how much respect you give the nurses! & you look bomb in all those jeffree lip colors girl 🔥🔥

[@simpletulip]

Fav video so far....just to clarify most ED nurses are assigned 4 beds, how many pt's they see is determined by how many pt's check in/out of those 4 beds...some can stay for the full shift, some beds have pt changes every hour or so... In San Diego with a high homeless population most ED nurses have new pt's every 2/3 hours in each of the 4 beds..which is insanely busy :)

[@emilykurzeja1933]

My a day shift RN on a med surg floor. My shift includes 6 patients full care that I have to chart completely on. I never leave at 7 pm unless we are low census lol

[@MHSMagicLuver]

Emily Murphy I was like 4 patients.. dang. I was a CNA on med surg (ortho/neuro) and the nurses had more than 4 pts. I think 6 or 7. We as as CNAs had up to 15 I believe.

[@ohheyitsdeanna]

The ER has a lower patient load because they are in a critical setting. Almost all med surg nurses and other floor nurses have 6 or 7. I work in a ICU and my max is 4 because they are unstable.

[@celestev1109]

Hey America! I don't know if you remember me but we used to chat long ago (on snapchat) when I was deciding whether to get into med school. I just finished my second year and I'm on summer break now. Still loving your videos, all the best and thank you xx

[@videoninja21]

Just a note about us nurses... We do get to leave right when the shift is over, but the charting is aaaaaaaaallll day everyday. Like every stinking thing. So if you get behind, you're staying later. I'm sure all departments are different, but ED handoff is probably a lot different than handoff on another floor because they are acute cases. So glad you got to see more of what nurses do. You da best, America

Hi America... I'm trying to get into medical school in my country (premed)... I'm ashamed of taking so long to get it. in . Today the day is very difficult, but watching your video I felt like you were a friend telling me to take a deep breath and study my best that I'm going to achieve my dream.. You know America, if you read my message, I just wanted to wish you the best in this life, I identify with you so much, I'm a nerd too... but I wanted to tell you that I hope you never lose your essence, so charismatic, true, unique and full of light. You are very special, I hope you have a very wonderful year in your residence and in your life America. Here is my real gratitude for your content so welcoming and inspiring. Hugs from Brazil and sorry to bother you and for any english mistakes..

I like how the nurse was trying to be humble and said “I get pillows” and you pointed out all the medical procedures he does

[@Stargemini11]

It blows my mine why people run to an ER when a medexpress or family doctor could help. Plus they are cheaper. And pumping antibiotics for a simple cold isn’t really all that good.

[@sarahj8796]

Hi America! You mentioned you were unsure of nurses charting. I'm a nursing student in Australia and an aspiring MD. I thought I'd leave some information here for you (or anyone else interested) to help understand the nurse's role further. Nursing progress notes detail the various happenings of the shift - how the patient is, their clinical observations, any procedures that have taken place, anything that has gone wrong, etc. Everything the nurse does should generally be charted. Then there are the bowel charts, fluid balance charts, falls risk scores, pressure injury risk scores, care plans - detailing everything you'd need to know before caring for them, are they independent, do they have mobility issues, are there any alerts on their file. Medications and observations also have to be given/taken and charted appropriately. Some areas will also have ward specific documents. I am 100% sure I am forgetting a whole bunch, but in ACT, Australia they are the main ones.

[@samuelokorekwadwoobeng4833]

[@jaehongsong4904]

ER doctors have pretty much the same schedule with nurses. Once you are out you absolutely have no call. Work for 12 hours, 3 shifts per week, and then off for rest of the week. Either you love it because you have so much free time, or you hate it because of changing from night to day every once in a while

[@brianyi2995]

Keep "America" Great Again!!!!

[@accountforwastingtime]

"As far as I know they dont have to worry about being on call" girl!! I've always known nurses to usually be required to take call days- unless maybe their dept is super well staffed & have plenty of PRNs but even then. They have call weekends they are sometimes required to take too. My mom has been a nurse for...40 yrs now I think? I dunno if she has ever had a job that hasnt required call. Also it's def not true that nurses usually dont have to stay or can just go home. Sometimes you're fortunuate to get a well staffed, properly managed & funded company or dept where you have PRNs and everything is set up so that is true. But in some hospitals that can even vary even dept by dept. But man...my mom has worked for companies where she was constantly working 16+ hour shifts or worked 13 hrs & got called back in at 2am. Some companies and hospitals have a worser reputation for that than others. You are def fortunate as a nurse if you land in a dept that is well staffed, has PRNs and good management to keep it all flowing nicely. It really is different with every single hospital, depts within hospitsls, independent company, clinic etc. I will say too nurses have less patients because they have to give so much constant direct care and be ready for anything. Like in in patient settings, if you have say critical care patients or patients on dialysis there are many situations as a nurse where you just have to stay right with that patient. But, I do love the recognition for nurses & that you're so open to working with them and esp learning from them! And was very excited for a new video!

Okay you talking about clerkships was so funny, im a 1st year but also have a chronic illness and everyone jokes that im gonna fly through rotations bc i basically live in the hospital. I genuinely love my nurses, ive had the same nurses since I was 5 and wont age out until next year. I do like my doctors bc theyve been with me equally as long but nurses hear and see everything and are always there. They end up being more like friends/family rather than just ‘nurses’.
