Women do not belong in the workplace. End of story. In a male environment this doest occur because men solve problems like this with violence and we have better sense of morality and fairness. You don't give women this kind of power.
Not sure why anyone is surprised the nurses have to take the verbal abuse from the patients and doctor's it is only expected that nurses will mimic that behavior.
Non-compete clauses for nurses?!!! That’s beyond ridiculous. We are not being exposed to any “proprietary” information while working bedside that would warrant the use of a non-compete. It would be much simpler to treat the nurses that are at an organization with respect and adequate staffing levels, than to try to trap them in a contract.
I really wish the media, and the hospital associate interviewed in this video, would talk about the ENTIRE healthcare shortage. While I do appreciate my nursing colleagues, they are only a fraction of the team members that see and care for a patient each hospital stay. From doctors to respiratory care practitioners, to PA's, NP's, techs, physical therapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, laboratory technicians, and the list goes on.... everyone is running short! Where are the patient ratios for ALL healthcare fields???? Nurse ratios do NOT improve safety if all other professions are running short... and evidence does NOT support nurse-patient ratios as an end-all to patient outcomes. That is just silly and lacking evidence. This is NOT a nursing problem, this a healthcare problem. Again, nurses are a small part of the thousands of professionals in each institution. Please focus on the entire healthcare team as saying nursing is short... is cutting the facts short.
I feel sorry for all the so called teachers as or professor in nursing who call themselves teaching a student how to care for a patient and dont know how to treat their your own student. You shouldnt let a degree go to your head to the point that you dont know to treat others. It eventually back fires some where down the line.
She’s out of touch. This has been going on since before the pandemic. The shortage during the pandemic which exacerbated the situation, was created by hospital systems cutting staff ratios and other roles in the hospital and on nursing units.
Evidence drives nursing practice...not lies, not assumptions. Many associated with nursing and nurses struggle in this area. Videos like this can definitely help them.
Perhaps all these management level people who still call themselves RNs without actually working as RNs need to come back to the bedside and live under the current conditions that staff RNs have to work. During past labor strikes I have seen what happens when management types have had to take assignments themselves, and it isn't pretty.
Im sorry but when you bring up “cost” in a conversation about human lives… thats highlighting a giant part of the problem. Im sorry but we’ve known for DECADES that when the baby boomer generation retires; there will be a significant reduction in people in the workforce and a significant increase in the patient population. Money grubbing politicians continue to examine “costs”. FUN FACT: our country has the most costly healthcare with the lowest healthcare outcomes.
I’m an RN. If i was younger, i would gave chosen a different field. Taking on 5-7 patients every shift, is just exhausting. Patient’s wants to chit chat, but tbh, we don’t have the time.
Try being a respiratory care practitioner and responsible for entire units, sometimes up to 90 patients. Where are the discussions about safe ratios for the dozens of other practitioners caring for patients??? 5 patients... that's nothing. Ask your rounding doctor how many patient's he/she is covering, and, if they have set ratios???
Has anyone actually used the JBI manual builder? What was your experience with that? Considering suggesting this to our unit educator to help update our policy’s and procedures.
Enjoyed you Tim👍 I’m an older nurse with 30 plus years experience. I always say I need to teach the nurses that will be taking care of me. Side by side, supporting new nurses, students or training a long time nurse in a new specialty is critical for health”CARE” system. We have all been new, nervous and nobody should feel alone. We are Life Savers in a world who needs our example how to respectfully interact with kindness. Relief is felt by all, myself included, when that trusted nurse walks in room. Take care of each other to prevent injuries through teamwork We only have one body….plus it’s fun when lifelong friendships develop!!! NURSES ARE THE BEST!!!
i call bs 😅Since when do doctors get medical advice from their patients?? We are literally being told to believe in EBP with no evidence that it works. This has no empirical basis at all - just jargon.
I was tortured as a new nurse and just had to transfer to a different unit. The bullies are just low level, ignorant individuals who have problems wherever they go, they do nothing to improve teamwork and generally ruin the atsmosphere for patients and other employees. Every new nurse should have a mentor for support.
Thank you so much for your bravery and candid message about this sad reality. I left my previous workplace for many of the reasons you refer to here. Thank God a new door opened and am blessed to finally feel part of a real team, where despite differences there is respect and openness to communication. Keep up the good work in bringing these topics to the table. As nurses we already deal with hard aspects of the job, and having our mental health preserved is pretty important to carry out the job we do. Sometimes we just need to be nurses to one another. God bless 🙏🏻
Nursing is full of gangster type women that love being incivil in nursing. What’s more disgusting is that nurses are not quick enough to discipline and punish nurses who are incivil. The ANA outlines the standards of conduct and character of professional nurses!
Thanks for such a reputable training company taking up this topic. If 93% of all nursing workers have been affected, why aren’t isn’t the national boards taking action against such barbaric behavior?? It should be an mandatory annual training (CE) requirement for Nurses, as well as other respective health care workers to take training (and pass) on this subject. It’s similar to race, gender, religion etc requirements, and in many ways much more is at stake. There should also not just be a local reporting hospital system requirement in place, but also a national reporting (licensure boards) governing those who commit and those who enable (management) such impropriety. Get into people pockets and hit them where it hurts (their license); then this Nurse incivility, workplace violence, bullying & the gall of Nurses thinking it’s permissible ‘to eat their young’ will be quickly mitigated. When there is no mandated 🚫education, transparent reporting, accountability or consequences _ humans will act out.
God bless Dr.Igudia on RU-vid, all my life will keep thanking you for the great help and for your product which actually works in eradicating herpes simplex virus out of my body system
One of my missions became to show that seasoned nurses do not have to eat their young. I had some nurses do that to us in clinicals while in nursing school over 15 years ago. I was 25 yrs old, so I challenged the instructor to remember that we were adults first, then students. We are to be treated with respect. I promised that I would never work at that facility. It was so toxic.
Are you sticking up for all the unconscious male patients under anesthesia that get some WILD things done to them by female nurses too? Some female nurses do some crazy stuff to Male patients, especially unconscious male patients Most commonly going up to unconscious male patients under anesthesia and lifting their gowns up for NON MEDICAL REASONS but to laugh and gawk and sexually humiliate them then further sexually degrade them by gossiping about their genitals even to other women outside the hospital. I could go on and on and on with stories, but I had a female nurse tell me once how a local TV anchor had surgery, word spread throughout the female nurses and female employees in the unit about it. So afterwards while he was still sedated 30 or so female nurses quick shuffled in, I'm guessing the recovery room, and took turns lifting his gown up. They thought it was HILARIOUS to sexually degrade him like that. So..... out of 30 female nurses NOT ONE had a conscious to stop it or report it???? Kinda refutes the whole "few bad apples" argument. Just dont understand why female nurses complain about fellow female nurses bullying THEM, but they NEVER defend the innocent defenseless unconscious male patients they are paid to look from getting sexually assaulted by fellow female nurses. I'm waiting for a female nurse to give a REAL AND HONEST answer to that. But, female nurses usually just LIE and say they "NEVER heard or seen this stuff happen" before. Ya ok 🤣
Nursing shortage... hmm well maybe stop working us to death and STOP FUCKING MAKING SCHOOL IMPOSSIBLE TO PASS AND STOP MAKING SCHOOL GIVE US PTSD!!!!! AND MAYBE STOP MAKING NURSING SCHOOL SO EXPENSIVE. Cause who's going to take care of YOU!!!!!
Whoopi Goldberg almost got killed off from multi-organ failure from this. Sepsis is keenly when your immune system that is supposed to kill off germs locally in a targeted attack against those germs, and only in a localized or selected area or areas---instead targets the uninfected good cells and attacks them systematically throughout the whole body when it is not supposed to. Untreated sepsis can lead to buildup of glutamate and ammonia to dangerous levels, causing multi-organ shutdown through septic shock, and can cause death. If you can avoid death, some of the serious complications of sepsis in some sepsis survivors can be like a patient who got infected with bacterial meningitis--like necrosis leading to gangrene of the lower limbs or feet causing required amputations. Or kidney failure end-stage requiring dialysis or transplantation.
I've been at the bedside for 30 years, I'm beginning to wonder if we, nurses, have promised society too much, more than we can possibly do. I'm also beginning to wonder about the term "burn out", we are overworked to the point of "abuse", and our response to this abuse, "I don't want to keep doing this to myself!", I would consider a "normal" response to the way we are being treated.
In October of last year, I remember feeling some discomfort in the right side of my stomach but at first I wasn’t really concerned because I thought it was just a really bad case of constopation because I’ve always had issues with that but when the pain kept getting worse and worse my mom went ahead and took me to one of those urgent care clinics and I remember that by that time I was in so much pain that I could barely walk.Anyway,it was the doctor at the clinic that insisted on sending me to the ER in an ambulance after he tried to get a blood pressure.and couldn’t.Which is probably one of the main reasons why I managed to recover as well as I did because as it turned out I had developed toxic mega-colon and I wound-up developing septic shock and I wound up having to spend several months in an inpatient rehab center because I wound up becoming completely paralyzed as a result of the septic poisoning and I had to have both occupational and physical therapy in order to retrain my muscles so that they could learn how to work right so that I could not only learn how to walk again but also so that I could learn how to use my arms and hands because I became so sick as a resault of the septic poisoning that I couldn’t even feed myself and my parents had to get me a water bottle with grips on it because I couldn’t get a good enough hold on the styrofoam cups that the hospital used without having to worry about dumping my ice water all over myself.Anyway,they later told my parents that if they had waited any longer than they did before bringing me in, I probably wouldn’t have survived,in conclusion,you know your body and if you think something’s wrong,seek medical help immediately because it’s better to safe than sorry.
