We're Nick & Stevie... Digital Nomads living in Bali - Real original right?
We are a down to Earth Aussie couple designing our dream life here in the beautiful Island of Bali - But these days travel is all about 'influencer worthy' hotels and bougee experiences... That ain't us! We like to laugh with the locals, learn the language, eat street food and get off the beaten path.
We're pulling back the curtain on expat life, sharing realistic travel vlogs, insider tips, costs, and the honest truth about what life is REALLY like on the "Digital Nomad Island". When it's time to grab those passports, we will be sharing the cost of our trips, locations you have to see (and give a miss) and all the 'not so IG worthy' realities that don't usually make the cut! No gate keeping here guys.
Grab your passport and hit Subscribe as we navigate life abroad - the highs, the lows, and everything in between. What's next? Dubai & Egypt!
Thank you so much for your support, Nick & Stevie.
OK I thought that nursing was awful only in my country. Eventually there is a general problem. Next generation nurses will be only the robots. And I don't even care.
News Flash almost every job/career is $hit. The only difference is that in Nursing, you get paid above average compared to most other professions. Teachers have it worse. Today's job climate is a reflection and symptom of society's lack of Emotional Intelligence and Morals.
My mother was an registered nurse, along with a couple of my aunts so you have my profound respect, I understand the hardships, late night shifts, dealing with demanding, all sordid patients, so when I enter a hospital, as long the nurses are respectful towards me and my family, I give them the same in return, and yes I have dealt with nurses whom should NEVER work anywhere in a faulty hospitals, nursing homes etc. Nevertheless, for the most part, my experience with nurses has been excellent.
Thanks for bringing up the bitchy nurses. as a male nurse, it's horrible how these women treat you on top of the other bs you gotta deal with. Great on you for looking after yourself. I applaud you. I wish I had the courage to leave. I'm too reliant on this paycheck to leave. I'm have no other work skills and don't know what I really want to do:(
I have a unique coping mechanism: whatever the abuse, it is not as bad as asian parents. (unless it is danger to life, limb, eyesight) Also, I vent my stress at inanimate objects since I don't want repercussions from other people.
I’ve left the profession after 22 years and will not go back. Nursing is a thankless job. Unless you have been there you can’t understand how bad it is
I quit bedside nursing (ER & ICU) nearly 3 years ago and my mental health has done a complete 180°. The conditions nurses face in the inpatient setting is abhorrent. Staffing, safety, patient load… how many nurses have to leave before the system collapses? I feel like we must be getting close. Hopefully some new horizons are in the near future. Love this video & thanks for sharing! ❤
Great to here a fellow Aussie nurse talk about this stuff, keep it up mate! I'm currently in private and its sometimes like 1-7 or we do team nursing which is like where two of us work together to look after 9-14 patients
Im currently working as an ED Tech in a very busy Level 1 Trauma Center with hopes of getting into PA school. Working in EMS before this has kept me positive but after attending interviews that feel fake and performative, and the low pay of my position I have been resenting healthcare more and more. I considered nursing as a backup since I have been rejected from the PA schools I’ve interviewed for, but after working in the ED, I realized nursing would not be for me. I’m looking at a career change but I’m lost on where to go from here.
I quit after 20 years and retired 9 years early. In short, nursing sucks. Nursing school is my biggest regret in life. If you want to be a nurse, be careful and make sure you know what you're getting into!
I just started months ago. And I feel the exact same way you feel. I want to quit every time there. I dread going there. I’m very sad and I literally hate people even though I love caring for others. It’s life sucking th life out of me and essentially it’s terrible. At least from my pov, this assistance don’t do any work and I’m essentially a maid. Constantly on my feet every 30 mins cleaning, changing, getting water getting food taking to the bathroom. The CNA literally go turn off the light to tell me to go help them. I always thought they were helpful, but I’ve never seen something like this before. It’s like I don’t even have any CNA’s. The disrespect, belittling and treatment from patients and family members and condescension from nurses. it’s the most laborious job I’ve ever had so physically demanding I have plantar fasciitis and hip pain. It will not resolve. I’ve tried everything. Repeat so terribly messing up. My body is suffering . It’s not worth it at all. I feel like I’ve been lied to. It’s the worst decision I’ve ever made. i’m in my mid-20s and I would never in my life. Recommend Nursing to anyone. I would never lie to them the way people lied to me. I’ll tell them the truth about what it is and what to avoid. It’s not worth it you’ll be struggling your whole life, unless you want to be a travel nurse constantly search for security, which works for some people
I've had my RN license since '96, quit bedside about 15 years ago. I wish patients and family members would know we are there to save lives not kiss asses.
So here is my question. What are you going to do now? What is your saving career going to be? You have to start over at zero. Are you going back to school? All of those classes don’t count towards anything but nursing so what is your next step? I always hear people making videos like this, but no one says what they are going to do now.
i retired after 43years as an RN did ICU ED BHU 5150 certified tele and fortuneately only in California where we have ratios staffing issues always an issue i mainly worked California Nurse Associstion union hospitals I retired in July of this year I eorked 12 hour shifts all thst time never worked christmas alwsys was off worked gor nursing agrncies and on stsff st agood union hospital am glad im done
It's a blessing to know I'm not alone in my frustration with nursing. Im pursuing my masters in nurse education. I gotta get away from direct care. Who knows, maybe I can help some young nurse to not be blind sided when they go out into the world.
Obviously, I can’t speak for all of you here in the comments. But this has not been my experience as a hospital based nurse. Maybe I lucked out with the unit I work on. But not all is doom and gloom.

File incident reports. Contact board of labor, state board of nursing, state attorney general, the police when there is a crime. Don't accept any of this that other jobs don't
I've worked in healthcare for 20 years. Been an RN for 13 of those 20 years. This job is impossible and got worse after Covid. The bullying is shit. I want out and am thinking of an exit plan. Am so done with this profession. I'm a female and I agree with you about fellow female colleagues. Damn, they can be b*tchy.
Had to stop at 2:05 in to say this...I worked med-surg and got so fed up with the ridiculous refusals I educated them on their choices. Either way, whether they did or did not agree I told them I was going home at 7. They were the ones admitted. It was up to them as to how well they got and when they wanted to go home, but ME??? I get to go home.
And then I listened to the rest. All of it is right on. I worked the hospital 7 years. The last year I transferred to another floor. I suffered lateral violence from a co-worker who was backed by our "mean girl" boss and the education co-ordinater. The RN (charge nurse) began sabotaging me to the point it was going to effect my license. I stayed late, typed my resignation, slid it under the door, and walked out not to go back. Yes, I burned that bridge because when I burn bridges I will not go back. I am a good nurse and I refuse to let people that are condescending and immature cost me my license. Upper management was no help either. So there's that.
@@kimberlyneal-zn7dnI'm that education coordinator that just burned that bridge. They lied about several aspects of the job that dramatically affected my ability at 60 to manage the demands of the job. Had they been truthful about the number of shifts I would pull 12 hours on the units, I wouldn't have accepted the job....all at well below going wages for an experienced BSN. I was only given FIVE days of PTO annually....not ONE of which could I take the first 12 months of employment. The pay is beginning to not be that great, the benefits are beginning to suck, and the nonsense of the system is making a difficult job ridiculous.
Being a porter earning only a few hundred a month less than the nurses was amazing because you could leave without taking a report and you could get a nurse if there’s a problem
I’m so glad I came across this. I’ve developed major insomnia and I boiled it down to being anxious because I know it’s going to be a fucking circus at work. I feel like I’m just on my feet 24/7 between demands from patients and families. The constant understaffing and increase of needy patients, I think I might lose it.
I am a Personal Support Worker. PSW(Canada) in the USA they are called (CNA). I have been doing it for about 3 years, I will never be the same again. I have been diagnosed with major depression, aniexty and slight OCD. I had to fight to be off a long list of antidepressant. I know I have PTSD too. I was considering nursing. Now I don't want anything in the healthcare field.
I identify with all you just say. I refuse to be a bedside nurse because of the entitlement of these patients and their families. Let them take care of them..
Can I ask what everyone else is doing besides nursing? I was a PCT in nursing school, dropped out, and videos like these help me feel less alone… but I don’t know what to do now. I applied to retail and waitressing, but I want to see what others do for work now that they’ve left the hell that is healthcare
Can one of these entitled patients please comment and explain WHY they think their actions are appropriate? Do they not understand the concept of mortality? Do they feel powerless and life and see abusing nurses as their one chance to exert power over someone else?
hey guys, very helpful video! thank you. Was there any issues with mosquitoes in the place you were staying? and which place did you go to for your bike rental? thanks
