A Day In the Life of an ICU Nurse | Come To Work With Me | 12 HOUR NIGHT SHIFT 

"If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready." new motto :) I love your videos!

So much respect for RNs and the amount of work they put in on the daily. Those 12 hour shifts are not easy, however, you did it with grace! You are appreciated!

THANK YOU for actually blogging what you do at your hospital, I've clicked on so many "my nursing shift" or "nursing school" vlogs that are literally jus the person sitting in their car and talking for 15 minutes, thank you soooo much. I'm both excited and scared to start my BSN program this fall and vlogs like this really help me to be more excited!!

The 15 minutes before shift to get your life together, wiping everyone’s germy mess down, the mini chart check... I feel seen. Loved this!

That is the hospital that started my nursing career!!! I recognize the unit and your badge!!! I used to be a supervisor there (not on that unit though)! Great team!! Loved your vlog!

I can't wait to start nursing school next year I can't wait to become a pediatric nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️

😂😂 The thing about ICU is that you can go from zero to code blue ... BARS!!!! I love it!!!

“But first, coffee” yes ma’am 🙌🏾😂

I really appreciate your videos! I start my internship in two weeks in the progressive care unit. Watching your videos is a huge help, thank you!

Best nursing video so far that I have watched. You make me so excited to be a RN. Then ima step it up and jump to Midwife😃! Loved the video! ❤️

"ya'll aint about to catch your girl a minute after 7:30" < IF THAT AIN'T THE TRUTH, O'KURT!

Thank you for being proactive in your video! I see too many who do not give us students what it will really look like, mostly a lot of talking in the car or restroom. Following!

i have been wanting to be an icu nurse my whole life, thankyou so much for showing me behind the scenes. i love helping people and i love the hospital!

Love this your personality is everything!!!!!!

I watch these videos when i don't feel like studying and you reallllyy make great videos. already hit subscribe in the first minute! thankyou!

This is great! I feel like you have the most useful advice!!

I really enjoyed this video. I am graduating from nursing school in 2 months, with hopes of starting in the ICU, so having a glimpse of what it's like from your perspective is very helpful!

This is amazing!! I start nursing school in august and I'm kinda leaning towards ICU and ER right now but I know that may change; look forward to your videos!!

Such an amazing video! Some very helpful tips, I love how down to earth & hardworking you are. Keep it up!

I love this video! I’m currently in my third semester/pediatric-maternity rotation. I have one more semester till I can take my nclex-rn exam! Originally, I wanted to go into geriatrics but I’m slowly leaning towards becoming an ICU nurse so this video is extremely insightful! Definitely subscribing! ♥️

Ayye. I like how strategic this is lol I plan on doing ICU when I graduate. Thanks for the video

Cool video! Not completely a first year nurse yet, I'm in a residency program. Thinking about the ICU, feeling a little uneasy about it considering all the stories I've heard from Medsurg nurses. I'ts so muc harder! in a nutshell, but I'd like the experience. The way you've put it, is be ready for anything! Doesn't sound to bad if your ducks are in a row.

Gooooo girl🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I can’t wait til I’m done with school...

keppra. 😢 i miss my mother. how ridiculous is it that i’m a med tech at a nursing home and a medical assistant while in nursing school and all these meds and situations trigger me... loss of a mom to cancer. i couldn’t save her and i won’t save everyone but god damn it i will help all that i can.

I love this! If you can, can you make videos on RN skills such as iv insertion, hanging an IV bag? Also your time as a new grad RN, things you might’ve went through. How long did it take you to get confident in your role as a RN? I have no patient care experience and going straight in as an RN, BSN

This is such an insightful vlog...Thanks so much!

Nice video you seem so cool to be around keep up that happy personality

Going to work at least 15 minutes make such a difference. And you can get report as soon as possible so the person before can leave also when you receive reports it’s long. So as early as you can be is prefect

This was so intresting and fun to watch! I work in an ICU in Finland. Totally other side of the world but still everything looked so familiar 😊 And I too am that person, who starts her shift by wiping everything 🤣

New subscriber ! Sound just like my preceptor! " you not finna catch your girl a min after 0730" BOOP

I so love this 😊

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing

I have my first critical care clinical tmr and I'm super excited!! I never thought I'd be suited for ICU but the more I learn, the more intriguing it sounds :)

I work for HCA too!! lol when you logged onto the computer i was like oh lorddd meditech!

Thank you for this video !

This is such a detailed day in the life video! I miss night shifts. Haha

I'm planning to become a nurse anesthetist and will have to work as an ICU nurse for a couple years, so this was extremely helpful. It's difficult to find day in the life videos where they actually show their workplace and don't just talk about it.

This was a great video, thank you.

0 to code blue.... BARS!!! 🔥 lmao

Did she say BARZ 😂😂😂 I love nurse rocky 😂😂😂

Lawdhammery frosting on a graham cracker gurrrrrrlllll, that’s brilliant!!! I have GOT to step my break room sugar game up!!! 🤣

Yessssssss wipe that keyboard girl !!! Haha I do the same thing !

Great video! Very useful

This is very inspirational ❤️

So inspiring! I am 10 and I really want to be a nurse or nurse practitioner! I always help out my granny. I study. If you want me to I can tell you everything about a heart attack! I am the nerd that has all A’s and E’s and 1 B in my WHOLE LIFE! Keep going!

It’s 9 o’clock right now, just got off a 12 1/2 hour shift in the ICU and I want to die. I don’t know why I decided to watch this video it just extend my day but I totally resonated with it

I be ready to go at 7am! lol 😂 stay ready

LMFAO @ “bars”

I have that same water container. Best deal ever!!

Thank you for this, I have an ICU interview on Tuesday! Super helpful. where the other sistas at thoughhh

New subscriber. Love this video

I cannot wait to be an icu nurse one day

Your so pretty!!! New subbie

This was a perfect vid!! I’m an RN and this is REAL 🤣😂. Werk your shift with a moment to strike a pose 🙌🏼

Love the ER, wanna try ICU one day tho

People so pressed about her having her phone at work. She’s not in patients rooms she don’t have the phone all in people face not near anyone’s room, what hippa violation is she breaking? How y’all know she walking around with her phone the whole shift? She could just did 3/4 minutes snippets when she came in or during her lunch or 15 minute breaks. I’m not understanding. Thanks for the video, im checking out different nursing specialties and critical care has been stuck in my mind since school started

Girl you are so beautiful

Lorazepam for the win 😂 I working psych as a PCNA and the nurse pass melatonin and Benadryl for sleep and if they are a fighter most have Ativan prn or some other such that we refer to as "the cocktail" if they turn up

I Love your videos. Keep up the good work gorgeous 👍👍🤓😆

Hey sis, I have a question, so I’m trying to do my first travel assignment in Cali, I’ve worked in 2 level one traumas and I’m trying to decide if it’s work taking a lower pay to stay in a big facility, or take the higher pay and go community(whew Chile).. has this been a consideration for you while traveling?

We do our mornings the same!

Awesome video, why do i read articles about ICU nurses getting ptsd from working there?

Hey, I hope you’re well? I just about clapped when you talked about staying hydrated no matter how many times you have to pee, because I constantly hear nurses say “ oh you can forget about peeing “ and I’m like who terrified of not being able to be hydrated and not being able to get restroom breaks.

Man girl you're the one

This is so cool thank you! I’m an aspiring icu nurse is there some kind of extra studying I have to do?

New subbie here love your videos :)

"bars" lolll

“Finna” 💀

Quick question do ICU nurses focus a lot of cleaning the patients or that’s only some times ?

Ur awesome :-)

“You can go from zero to code blue... bars.”

Hey love this video is amazing. I’m a nurse working in riverside Ca. Are u still in riverside? How do you like it?

Very accurate

Just curious, do you guys have nurses aids on your floor? I’m an aid at one of our biggest hospitals and I stay busy. I’m not even a nurse yet and I’m so busy.

Your commentary is the best, I wish you could be my preceptor!!

cna's dont do the stocking?

Thanks for this

Did I just see a drawer like that at the bedside 😳😧 wow

You are an aspiration

Great video! Just found your channel 😊...how are you liking nights? I’ve been a Neuro RN for 12 years on night shift and it can be a lot on the body sometimes....you are def right abt staying hydrated.

A patient wants to have a ride in the van. The ATIvan.

I'm shook, labetalol as a prn?! Never seen the before.

I wipe it down too !

I really enjoyed this video! I want to be an ICU Nurse as well... Stay Blessed! #NewSubscriber!

She said sometimes you have to put them down *with ativan* lmao I heard that. Now I wanna know what icu gives you a 1:1 assignment

Love this vide ❤️❤️❤️❤️New subbie

GIRL U FUNNY OMG

Great video. Thanks a lot! Subbed. :)

Do you have to have your BSN before traveling to Cali for an assignment? I know New York requires it.

The Transformers drug, what the heck lol

Thank you so much for your video! Im a nursing student and am so nervous to be out there in the nursing world alone. Are you still content with your ICU job? Thanks!

I need that water bottle!! Where did you purchase?

Are you at a Texas HCA? I know that’s so weird to ask I just work at a HCA in Texas and it’s cool to know I’m subscribed to a Texas Nurse lol

U are so funny lol

Their eye lenses has cameras in it is how they are recording...

I am about to start nursing school and interested in working in the ICU. Thank you for the upload and giving us an idea of what it is like. Subscribe!!!! ✌️ and ❤️🌎🌍🌏

If you could be any other kind of nurse..what would you be?!

Great video! Are you from New Orleans?
