Hi! Thank you, Thank you! This is soooooo true in healthcare/bedside nursing. What you have said is so true! I’m not a new grad, I do travel nurse and let me tell you it’s such a prejudice against travel/agency nursing. Everything you said has happened to me. And everyday I struggle with going to work. It wasn’t just by accident I came across your video, it was for a reason. Thank you!

Well said young woman. Sad that many nurses are feeling this way. I am rwtired after 46 years service, saw this creeping in a few decades ago, its immoral. Bless you for speaking up and mainly, for caring. Bless you and yours.

Unfortunately only a nurse can understand. It’s PTSD. It’s debilitating. And going for a Masters degree and administrative nursing is not better.

I would give kudos to u for deciding a new path. But it is more so from itemizing all these things u experienced as an RN. There are truth to this regardless of which state u worked at. Just think about those immigrant nurses working here in US to start their life as an RN. I was once in that shoe. I am a nurse for 23 yrs now in Acute care setting. I am not saying "I know it all" even. I always think that learning is dynamic. What u r saying is really legit. I see nurses n the mgt. side doing these to nurses even with experienced RNs. My body has taken a toll on me and I am making steps of leaving Acute Care field soon. I love this job but on the contrary, m starting to lose my affection to it. Seldom u get appreciated by patients n their family or even the mgt. I am losing my confidence bc I work slow due to medical condition n surgery. I too am scared if no 1 will hire me bc I am in my 50's already. This is what I am dealing with these days😢 Again, just want to congratulate u for being strong n u chose ur own path.❤

Just subbed. I am so grateful for you. I am in nursing school and I just know that bedside is not for me. This is probably my 100th video watched about how terrible the work culture is at the bedside… and I appreciate your perspective so much. I am so happy you got out of bedside. Keep taking care of yourself sis and thank you for posting this video, again ♥️

I want to be successful on TH-cam so that I can quit nursing all together,😢

People have tried to bully me in many sections of my life. They failed lol Now in the military studying to be a nurse and commission.

That’s why when people have kids and they see how people are and how there nature is they should really be considerate and think do I really want to bring someone into this world that’s never been wanted and after ALL this time never will be. Especially if all they do is make others uncomfortable.

Girl…. I am late to your video but all I have to say is this is 100% accurate. You are a smart women. I wish I could get it in me to walk away from it. It’s like a cycle of abuse I am stuck in.

This seems like it wasn't bedside nursing it was your peers that you were working with.😊

Young lady I want to thank you for making this video. I experienced all of this and more. It caused me a lot of trauma and loss. I am seeing more and more nurses coming out to expose this culture. It’s good because it lets nurses know this is about them, it’s the system. We need to spend some time and energy figuring out what we can do to create a system that works for us and supports us. The hospitals can not work without us. Individually we are weak. Together nurses can demand changes.

Thank you for being open and honest! You're described my story literally😢😢😢 the bullying and abuse left me physically and mentally ill😢. I left but still looking for a job outside the bedside.

May God Bless You 💟 Ashley you are 100 precent correct. I feel like You are talking about My experience. I have resign after 3 months working in a hospital. Good Luck to You ❤ Hugs ❣

Ashley, you have hit all the right points about Nursing. It is not what it used to be. It has become toxic in certain areas especially Bedside Nursing. You do get overworked, disrespected, unfairness, and emotionally abused. It does make you have a lot of anxiety. The workload sometimes can cause you to not get your bathroom breaks, Lunch break in a timely fashion. Then you have the Nurses in their groups who get preferential treatment. So, they get the easier assignments which now gives them time to go sit at the Nurses Station to chitchat while you are struggling with your heavy assignment. It does not phase them one bit to go give you a hand so that you can catch up. It’s as if they get pleasure in seeing you struggle and drown in your work. I am happy for you that you were able to get out of Bedside Nursing and that you found something better to relieve your anxiety and stress!

As soon as I started listening to you!! Sis!!! This !!! This!!!

The government needs to make this type of treatment and short staffing illegal in the health industry. It is only going to gets worse. Remember you have options where you want to work as a nurse. Toxic work environment can result to potential danger to your license. Your license first before any nursing job. Always follow your intuition. I am so proud of you. You made the right decision.❤ RN for 27 years.

I quit 6 months in. Got a “soft girl nursing” job then went right back to bedside … ER . Because even in soft girl jobs, when an emergency hits and you don’t do the right thing ur still liable. Be careful with ur nursing liscence guys . Nursing never was and will never be easy. But I would like to hear from u guys what soft nursing jobs do you do? Did you leave the field ? Put me on ❤ Edit: to piggyback off you I was also a CNA and a PCA . Yes the stress from being now a leader it’s very tough. I use to just do my job go home and tell the nurse everything so she can figure it out. Now I have to be the one to prioritize. And it takes time. Everyone will bully you. I really hope u give it a second chance. I’m going to watch to see if you have any updates. What are you doing now ?

I got floated to another floor and I was the only one with 3 discharges and 2 admits! Just cuz I floated. SMDH. I hear that!!!

Your so right the job I applied for I got because I did great at the interview. A lot of times it's not your experience but how you present yourself.

I just left the bedside and I'm so glad I did.

I just gave my resgination today! and instantly my anxiety decreases! I am free!!

Can you do Moana 2 in 4DX And wicked

Girl you are me n I am you. Been a nurse 5 years now n even travel nursing isn’t cutting it. The anxiety I’ve been suffering n I’ve been seeking the Lord to help me thru this for so long but sometimes it’s just not the place for u to be so I’m def looking into transitioning to a non-bedside position. I wanna send this vid to all the toxic managers, secretaries, supervisors, nurses n pcts out there that made my nurse experience hell. U are not alone n this same experience is ALOT of our stories. Sucks cus I love patient care but the rest of it is so garbage. Praying for joy n fulfillment in all our next endeavors💕thank u so much for speaking out

I must say for a new graduate, you are very sharp! I am proud of how in depth and passionate that you are. I also terribly sorry for your experiences. You have painted a very adequate picture of where nursing is. I pray that we can get out of this horrible, toxic culture or there will be no one left.

I am a 53yr old Nurse. Been doing it 30yrs. I am in a SNF facility. I am going through absolutely every single thing you discussed including my first panic attack. I have been slowly building the depression and anxiety issues. I of coarse am worried about leaving what I know thinking I am not good enough or too old. However, I absolutely know I have to get out. Every single issue you spoke of is 100% accurate and it's horrible. Thank you for sharing.

Nursing is nothing but modern day slavery.. it’s a servitude occupation.. let the family take care of their families before they expected us to kick their Assssss

Thanks for sharing this video. New Grad here and I'm so glad to hear the self advocacy and transparency.Love your energy You're destined for great things.🫶🏾🫶🏾🥰

Ashley, can you start off without doing bedside???

Please can you do a video on the current RN position you hold?? How did you get hired into that position?

I just watched your video and it was like listening to my experience as an RN at a specialty hospital. I toughed it for 4 years and kept stringing myself along, saying it will get better with this new Supervisor or it will get better with this new manager, but it never did. I gave my all and more to support the team and my patients and was always chosen to be the preceptor for all the new hires because of my patient, thorough work ethic. I never wanted anyone to feel alone or unsupported while they were working with me. I also worked nights. I was approached to be a supervisor, took the job for 19 days and resigned to go back to the floor. The politics, culture and environment were “all about the money honey!” I finally reached my limit and resigned from that job. I’ve been home for 2 years caring for my sick husband. I need to get back into the workforce and have been really feeling guilty about not going back to nursing. Your video has helped me make a decision today and I thank you for sharing your experience. It’s been very inspiring to know that I’m not alone in my feelings and that there’s light at the end of the tunnel 😊 Thanks again!

I was made in 1997! This is getting worst as time passes on. I pray they they out national leaders csn make some changes. If not, there are not gonna be any nurses to take care of our patients.

I’m going into nursing but I’m giving myself 10 years and I’m out…I plan on using my income for investing and creating passive income so I don’t have to work anymore or as much.

Great video.Thanks for sharing your expirience

Thank you for this! Bottom line is ….we sick of people & allllll the bullsh!t !

I’m an esthetician and work in waxing and we go through the same. It’s terrible. So toxic.

Sounds like you had a rough experience. Nursing isnt for the weak it sounds like to me that you may like to go into community nursing. So you can get more involved with preventive health care Not all places treat their employers like this. It is good for someone to get a couple years experience with bedside nursing in med surg or some form of syb acute care it will make your next endeavors a little easier

Soooo relatable!

WHAT is up with nursing for real? I recently heard a theory that states, (and I’m paraphrasing here) All the people who were school bullies somehow end up being nurses and, the more I hear these stories, the more I believe it. This stuff is absolutely insane and that nurse with the blood transfusion was straight up petty. I’m sorry you even encountered a nurse like that, some people don’t shouldn’t to be in this field and it’s so sad because, nurses like that are pushing away the nurses who actually love it. Been an LPN for 5 years, going for my RN and then the bedside will NEVER see my face again. Great video, new sub ❤

Why do med/surg as ur first area when nowadays hospitals have residency.. ex. Resident RN(ED), Resident RN-ortho etc… im a new nurse in the US(International grad) and my first job is OR periop101.. i do think that the “bully aspect” is so much more towards female nurses.. im a male nurse and it seems less imo

I like ur authencity.

I understand.. You wete being dumped on. Im in oversight and compliance but moonlight in a swanky retirement home so Im somewhat removed. Its not perfect but its workable.

Me too Nurse Case Manager for almost 1 year😂😂😂…. Immediately want to go back to the floor. I just wish my bedside experience had been better 🙃 my dream was NNP

Nah eff med surg. EVERY SINGLE NURSE I’ve shadowed in clinicals/at my internship HATES it! Every single one! Told me all I needed to know. I’m looking to specialize asap! Either postpartum or the OR… I felt at ease there and so did the nurses who worked there.

Amen

Guess who i am boy or the two girls'

I love that you enjoy my anutie as she explains this :)And lets appreate her editing

That Cane’s looked good, I still gotta try them 😋. The 4DX movie looked so fun!

The tator tot casserole looked so good! Vegan fest looked fun! It makes sense that the food might be better in a bigger city. I loved your vlog 🥰🥰

Omg!!! Everything you said is true!!! I experience this as well. It really hurts to go through all that hard work and finally get to the point where you can carry out your passion and you can’t because of everything you said. I quit my grad nurse position as well the culture was totally messed up and it definitely hinders new nurses that’s just starting out and trying to learn. I just don’t understand it’s like they all forgot when they first came to the floor. Well said!!! Change needs to come!!!

I just started my new grad job i'm so nervous ;-;
