Hi there! My name's Trish and I currently live in sunny Los Angeles. I've been an ICU nurse for three going on four years and hope to one day be a CRNA. When I finished nursing school, I realized that all the stress had me at my heaviest weight! I made the journey about two years ago to get serious about my health. Ever since, I have blended my love for nursing and fitness into this holistic journey of well being! Check out my page for tips, tools, and experiences in nursing and health.
If I remember correctly, you worked on my husbands grandma who passed but you were so good and took the extra mile. SR right? Anyway, love your content!!
I am a new telemtry nurse struggling to give report. Do you have an updated version to share? I checked your instagram and couldnt find a link. Thank you in advance
I have flat feet too and prone to a lot of things. I do have plantar fasciitis it comes and goes in both of my feet. I’m on my feet 12 to 14 hours a day as a Frozen grocery manager.
Hello, thank you for your content. Were you bullied throughout nursing school and when starting your first job? I'm considering nursing but I don't want to deal with that and I've never dealt with bullying in my current field. I have a BA in Economics and work in Marketing so it would be a career change for me. I'm currently 25 years old.
So well articulated. I feel all of this. I've been a new grad on a step down ICU/ med surg for four months. Everyone says I'm a great nurse and they keep putting nursing students with me. But I'm so stressed, ALL THE TIME. It sucks when I have a heavy group and then there putting new nurses with me.
Wait you get a one hour break? Thats amazing and i need a job there we are lucky to get 30 minutes uninterrupted to eat... Forget about ant other breaks
Hello, Im thinking of switching from med surgery to ICU.. Im a nurse and my program is gives us the chance to switch in 6 months.. any tips.. and thank you..
I'll say it in one word: BRUTAL! Especially if they force midnights. I NEVER had 1 patient in ICU. ( 23 years). If the first patient was crashing, your second patient was on auto pilot with a buddy looking in. If BOTH your patients are crashing, all you can do is pray.😢. Go to the gym? I was lucky not to fall asleep at the wheel on the way home! 1 patient... damn!
Hi Tricia. I'm happy I came across your video. I currently live outside the US but signed a contract with an agency for a residency program since I do not have any working experience yet but I would like to know if there are free days you got during your residency program and were you allowed to work outside the facilities during your free days.
I would never wear my long hair down at the hospital, just gross. Head to dinner? Wow, u must be in Cali lol, I’m lucky if I get to grab a quick snack while working
I’m 33 I’ve never went to college I’ve been working since I got out of high school but I want to become a rn I just don’t know we’re to begin lvn is the easiest route but I want to really get my bsn
Super helpful! I'm getting ready to graduate and am trying to decide what type of ICU to apply to. The hospital I want to work at is Level 1 Trauma and I am trying to decide which ICU is best to learn in. I have an opportunity for a residency in Surgical Trauma ICU which is scary but I kinda want to jump on it!
This is so great! A lot of videos I have found are more about someone's pre-shift routine at home, which no disrespect to them but I wanted to see a shift regarding the nursing aspect lol... thanks so much! From a soon to be grad hopefully ICU nurse ♥️
