DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TRAVEL NURSE:😩4 NIGHTS STRAIGHT| OVER IT| REAL LIFE | YOU WANT TO BE A NURSE ? 

Thank you❣️

God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all

I hope you are payed really well .I feel nursing pay rate needs to increase given now baby sitters with no college degree r making $ 22 to $ 25 per hour .

GIRLLL I WAS A CNA ON MEDSURGE FOR ONLY A MONTH TILL I LEFT AND I WAS IN THE SAME POSITION 😭😭😭not even a nurse props to you and anyone else who can do this

Then after that going home to a 1 year old It’s a lot

Aww thanks for watching. It’s not all bad. As you see I had a very easy night the first shift to level out the rest of the week. Like anything you will have good and bad days.

I hear you 1000%! Thanks for watching ❣️

God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all s

Agree if you care ( and sadly young people are getting into this thinking its great money and because a experienced nurse makes it look easy it is ) I have had those nurses work with me and also as a patient experienced lack of care. Unfortunately they will survive and the good ones will just end up having to leave the bedside for sanity’s sake. I do not expect nursing to change as long as we do not demand it of leadership or healthcare ( patients and families included)

This!!! Man…

yessss girl tell ‘em! 👏

Yes! Thank you!

It’s certainly a business. I knew from nursing school that it was gone be some foolery lol so when I actually started working on my own it didn’t come as much as a shock to me.

Rest ta go! Lol

Some are so spiteful.

Yup...those nurses that always walk in at the last minute...moving all slow 🤣

God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all

@@annyms5092 ok... Thanks...

Thanks so much!

How'd you like the OR???

Laly Pop, I enjoyed working with my peer group and anesthesia personnel. Most surgeons are tolerable but the titanic insufferableness, arrogance, conceit, megalomania, and God-like thirst for power that many surgeons relish became too much for me after many years, so I left. Got tired of seeing competent, experienced, well-educated, O.R. knowledgeable nurses getting talked to like they were 8-year-olds. I've seen nurses hit by surgeons with filthy bloody gloves, not to mention having their jobs and careers threatened. If you work in the O.R., you better have supremely thick skin and nerves of steel or you'll never last. I've also known too many solid O.R. nurses who became alcoholics and/or drug addicts as a way of "coping" with the inexorable stress of this job along with a woeful lack of support. The best O.R. nurse I ever worked with, totally unknown to me, flew to Florida every other weekend to feed her cocaine habit - true story. A healthy off-the-job routine is necessary. I chose to invest in my health by going to the gym as often as possible. If you can take the heat, you can make decent money.

@@Tomatohater64 oh wow!!!! I really appreciate the insight! Does the surgeon even get in trouble for assaulting the nurses? Did you see this more as travel OR nurse, because I was thinking about looking more into that but it's always good to ask about people's experience first. Thank you!

@@lalypop449 The nurse who caught a bloody backhand straight to her chest during surgery was going to quit and sue the offending surgeon. This is what she told me herself. She was brought into the hospital's administrative offices. She was told how much money Dr. Such & Such brought into the hospital every year. Then she was asked how much money SHE brought into the hospital every year - which was, of course, nothing. They told her to keep her mouth shut and accept Dr. Such & Such's apology if she didn't want any future "difficulties." The nurse told me that Dr. Such & Such approached her shortly thereafter and said this to her: "Well, they told me I had to apologize to you, so there." That was his verbatim "apology" to this woman who was assaulted by him in the O.R. Two months later, she resigned her position and took an out-of-state O.R. position that paid her much more money. I never heard from her again. To answer your question; no, I never saw or heard of any surgeon getting into serious trouble for acting inappropriately toward staff but then again, what's the legal definition of "inappropriate?" As a traveling nurse, I saw this garbage to a lesser degree mainly because it is assumed that you know what you're doing when you walk in the door. You'll get a day or two of basic orientation. Then it's sink or swim. After over 3 decades of full time effort, I placed my license on inactive status and permanently retired from the entire field.

Aww thanks so much for watching❣️

Glad you found the video useful❣️

Those be the times that you learn the most 😩

Oh they tried it! The fact that she even threatened you like that! I’m glad you left bc that was not ok!

I’m glad you left. Omg, that’s madness @MK

What, they can do that??......

That’s terrible . I applaud you for having the courage to say enough is enough !

@@lalypop449 Only if its in your union agreement. Some unions clearly are not for the worker haha.

I be trying to get stuff out the way early so I can either chill or at least be caught up enough if something decide to go left lol

I’m glad you feel me!

Hey Britt! I didn’t know you were a social worker?! So yes, you understand burnout is real! Thanks so much for watching❣️

Sometimes it be like that. Cry it out and get back to it! Thanks so much for watching❣️

God bless, Jesus loves you and died for you all.

Go on strike

Feels good to know I am not alone,I cry when the nurse to patient ratio is so out of control and I see every other nurse going on like everything is fine.

Sadly we just become accustomed to being overwork😩

Yes, so true. Take care of yourself 1st!

Night shift has its perks but it’s still work nonetheless

Sometimes you just need a good cry and then it’s back to it

Glad you got out and found something you enjoy. Thanks for watching ❣️

What do you do now???

Aww thanks. We both know the struggle. Hopefully change will come about soon

I'm a nursing student and when I did clinical on a neuro medsurg floor they only had one tech for the entire unit. I was like wow...I was glad to help them out where I could.

In some countries like Jamaica you might even find one RN to a ward! It’s crazy with the shortage

I love the CNA’s❣️I try to help out as much as I can bc w/o them my job would be way harder 😩

21 patients by yourself!? Were you the only CNA??

@@dreamergirlbaby nope! Me and another girl! She had 20 😭 this happened often but that was the most.

@@mayahelan2078 how does that work tho? What if you don’t get everything that’s scheduled to be done for each patient before your shift is over? Do you get in trouble

Yall do matter. People have an issue n spend years talking about “the nurse was so nice” yall meet people at the most vulnerable part of their lives never downplay your role! & thank you for your service

It’s tough for sure. Thanks for watching ❣️

You are very right dear. My anxiety can't handle it too so I do hospice nurse and home care

@@ireneirene4866 hospice case load is high too .

Hospice and Homecare is my next course..looking now! 20 years in nursing🙏🌟🙏

Lol a mess

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and all you do as a CNA, you are definitely appreciated ❣️

aww thanks for watchin!

It was complicated lol

Thank you so much!

I agree!

How much do you usually make in those 13 weeks? Aspiring travel nurse in school right now!

I agree it can be very overwhelming. I’m not quitting though, it’s too many options out here for nurses to just throw my whole degree away. That’s the beauty of nursing, you don’t like one sector of it, go somewhere else. Plus I worked too hard lol

@@SincerelyShannonSubcribe right...if you dont want to do too much there is a field of nursing for that so idk why people would leave rather than exploring another option in nursing all together

What are other career options Idk wtf I want to do I just need something that pays well

Just Google other nursing careers. Find what you’re interested in & go from there

Next year will be here before you know it! You got this!

I’m graduating next year also and I’m super nervous but I live for ppl like you who show us the truth and what our future look likes. This video was a blessing because I would like to be a traveling nurse and the fact that your video popped up on my page, gives me some insight. Thank you 🙏

Glad you enjoyed it! I have to give y’all the real, nursing is far from glamorous! Wishing you well on your nursing school journey ❣️

Keep pushing girl. Totally understand. In the same boat. But we got this 💪🏽🙏🏽

If I can do it, then you can do it. It can be little overwhelming in the beginning but you’ll be fine

Thanks❣️

Your hair is fabulous daahhhling! Is this mane yours if not please link the wig and process to place for meeeeee🙏🙏🙏

Thank you ❣️ It’s a sew in. The hair is good but I wouldn’t recommend dealing with the lady who I purchased it from 😩

@@SincerelyShannonSubcribe that’s sad that people are that shitty

That was the goal, glad you enjoyed it❣️

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 🥰

Thats the great thing about nursing, you can always move around.

Glad you enjoyed❣️

Thank you🥰

It’s really helps to see who I need to tend to first lol

Yes, the pandemic made RT job even in higher demand. Y’all the real MVP’s during this whole thing!❣️

I understand you both! I’m already burnt out & my body is just soooo drained! But we got this ladies❤️❤️

Thanks ❣️

Listen, I hear ya! It's tough out here for us!

LTC is no joke...You may be giving meds down 1-2 halls...and thats scheduled meds..not to mention prn..or if an incident occurs..resident has to be transferred!!

😂 me too!

❣️

It's tough out here as a nurse. I'm glad you can relate. Thanks for watching!

🫶🏾

I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching ❣️

I commend you! 8 years!? Bless you!

Start, even when its stressful People like to see other ppl they can relate to. If you look at my videos when I was in nursing school I kept it 1000, on my good and bad days!

Self care is definitely nonnegotiable

Thanks 🥰

Yes, I think that where so many new nurses fail initially at; time management and cluster care. Thanks so much for watching❣️

Girl, I be so irritated. They come in with their Starbucks, talking with they nurse buddy, like they don’t have to get report lol

@@SincerelyShannonSubcribe girl ok lol I be so irked they really think night shift just easy breezy and nothing went on like no a lot went on and I’m ready to go tf home. But as far as the nurse burn out girl I felt every word you said especially on the self care being important even if that means sleeping all day ❤️

Yes! Self care is mandatory as nurses. Sadly, we prioritize everyone else except ourselves😩

Try having to give report to like 5 nurses thinking I’m about to find y’all 🙄😆

Ha! Lol ugh I hate that too! But knowing me, I’ll go find everyone so I can get up out of there 😩

I feel you! Nursing is a very taxing job

Thank you so much!!
