The "dangerous" water bottle lol. This was so hilarious and spot on. And to add on to this, why do they always give us free reusable water bottles with the hospitals name on it as gifts if we can't use them at the desk?
Aw it's ok now....because now we have magical plastic squares marked Hydration Stations where it is "safe" to leave our bottles at the nurses station.....but only if placed on TOP of the magical plastic squares!!! ......and this is just one more reason I work night shift!!
Hilarious and so true. The sad thing is there is NO JC standard regarding food or drink at your work station, though every hospital seems to think so. There is an OSHA regulation that you don’t eat or drink in the same area that you handle biological specimens, but that shouldn’t universally apply to prohibiting water bottles, etc. Shame on the “clip board carriers” who perpetuate this myth!
LOVE THIS! Blake you are telling the truth!! I’ve been working in hospitals over 30 years and JCAHO never worries about REAL PROBLEMS! And if you said something against the hospital you were the “bad” employee. We always had supervisors following them and taking note of our responses. I literally saw a nursing supervisor who said something pro-nurse made to pack her bags and was fired!
Oh my god, I'm a nursing home worker in Canada, and we had THE SAME ISSUES WITH WATER BOTTLES. I got covid because a resident literally coughed in my eye, and my PPE was completely inadequate, but yes. Staff's water bottles were the problem.
Yes! Yes! Yes! So true! Where is jcaho now when hospitals have lack of supplies and floors are running 6:1 with 1 tech. We had a code in one room and a detoxer in another...save the code or keep the detoxer from walking around naked? WHERE IS JCAHO!
100% truth. I work in hospice in billing and coding and records. I work with an awesome clinical team. Any surveyor-state, CMS, Joint Commission- they're all the same. Love your comedy!
I worked at a hospital that did not allow staff to have any food or drinks in the units. But then upper management would try to motivate people by occasionally going through all the units handing out food and drinks.
Water bottles, cork board, Card Board boxes, tape. I could keep going with the silliness of TJC. How dare they judge us when we were out here dieing and putting our health and our families' health at risk while they disappeared!
I absolutely love your vids. They bring back so many memories of trying to get through nursing school without having a total freaking meltdown; my 1st year as a nurse not knowing shite from shinola and getting advice from the LVNs before making a decision. It was absolute madness and I was working as a psych nurse in a state mental facility. There was some irony. And every 4 years there was JACHO. I wasn't really one for subterfuge so naturally I would tell them all the dirty little secrets. They fired me. It was a great move and I went in to HHC Special Needs Pediatrics.
To paraphrase a certain politician, "The only ones who do this (Serve) are suckers and losers." I solemnly affirm to God (cuz' I wouldn't want to swear) Nurse Blake is spot-on !!!! The very, very same problems and attitudes were present when I first graduated in 1975 as when I retired in 2016 !!! Horribly sad and hilarious at the same time !!!
Hey Blake, you’re amazing! I’ve always loved your stuff, but this stand-up was next-level-it was perfect! You had me laughing the whole time. Huge props to you for killing it out there. Can’t wait to see what you do next
I still want to know why JCAHO hasn’t yet discovered that toilets don’t have lids and they spray what’s ever getting flushed onto the paper towels that are a foot away from the toilet. 🤣
Just went through this last week. We have SERIOUS problems at my job. However, when jcaho came, our boss was flying off the handle about water bottles!!! She threatened staff and all!!!! 🤬🤬🤬
Am out on medical leave and I think I might have just laugh myself to full recovery wink wink. That’s why I work night shift. W e have change from JC to Lordy I forgot their name.😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏾
So if the water fountains are turned off because of covid, do we just go drink water in the breakroom after we have the freetime to pee? What is freetime?
I work in SNF settings and I've always said that they want us to push fluids and make sure that patients are hydrated but they don't gaf about employees staying hydrated.
It's IV and a leg bag for us, right? Actually, no breaks, no time for water, which is good because there's no time to pee anyway. I kept almonds and a breakfast bar in my leg pocket, thank God for cargo scrubs. (Why in the heck don't they make scrubs with enough pockets?)
I did hospital security for 10 years. Every word he said 100 percent checks out..except well I don't know if JHACO actually swoons at the sight of water bottles, but I'll vouch for the rest of it.
Yes!!! Water bottles and coffee cups. Hide them!!!! 🤔 I need a cup of coffee to make it through till 11 pm. I need some water because I talk for 8 hours straight. Answering the phone and the call bells. 😂
I cried with laugher…they are coming to my job soon and the biggest ISSUE is TAPE RESIDUE. All papers must be in plastic with no scotch tape. Major concern!
I actually charged during a JCAHO visit when we were really short staffed, and one of my nurse's actually went to the surveyor who was with our manager and asked how many patients were we supposed to have on a med/surg unit. Surveyor answered no more than 6 to a nurse. My nurse said then why do we have 9-10? Surveyor said take it up with your manager. Such a useless, cop-out answer. They don't care about what nurses go through on a day-to-day basis, except for when the sh-- hits the fan and they are going to look bad. Then patients suffer and nurses get the blame. It's a vicious cycle that everyone knows about but does nothing to correct. Straight out of my orientation, my assignment was 13!
I work in the imaging department in a hospital and we are strictly forbidden to have a water bottle. I haven't been told when I could drink water since I was 3 years old and I'm not about to start now. They treat you that way as a professional, then they wonder why they can't keep enough staff to operate. I'm actively looking for a new job and when I find it they can kiss my @$$. I'm talking to you, Decatur Morgan Hospital, Decatur, Alabama.
OMG, is the paper bag thing a thing around the US? I did a clinical at a big hospital and saw that they were using paper lunch bags to put their masks in, and had the nurses' names on them too. The bags were taped on the room door as well. So weird and sad. I work at a different hospital, and we have boxes of the different n95 on our PPE carts when we have COVID pts. N95's are not assigned., we just use a new one.
Where is TJC? We have pts stacked in beds so close that one pt put his leg on another pt's bed. No kidding. Not because of a pandemic, but because they don't have enough staff to open the overflow area. One nurse fell off the built in bench/couch trying to get to the head of the bed. Literally having to climb the furniture to get to the pts. Those damn H2O bottles are going to get someone killed though. 🙄
Been dealing with JCAHO's hospital BS since the early 90's, but this is the best summary of our frustration with them I've ever seen.
"I got 99 problems and this water bottle ain't one of them" should be made into a reusable mask so I can wear it when jcaho comes
Yes. Love it! I would definitely wear that mask:
Great idea!!
YES!!!
Yep 👍😅🤣😂😆
The "dangerous" water bottle lol. This was so hilarious and spot on. And to add on to this, why do they always give us free reusable water bottles with the hospitals name on it as gifts if we can't use them at the desk?
No you have to put it in the cabinet. 😂
I think you'll find those water bottles are meant to be purely decorative
@@taraking6472 Yeah, our cabinets wreak of formaldehyde. Have some cancer with your beverage.
@@taraking6472 you guys getting cabinets 😂 we have to do the walk of shame when we get told to take it to the break room
@@thechickencoop8096 and that’s probably an extra 500 steps per sip. That you didn’t need.
Aw it's ok now....because now we have magical plastic squares marked Hydration Stations where it is "safe" to leave our bottles at the nurses station.....but only if placed on TOP of the magical plastic squares!!!
......and this is just one more reason I work night shift!!
Not the rogue night shifters 🤣. I told IP ya’ll wanna see the real G’s I dare you to do your audits/ rounds at night. I’ll take you to happy hour.
Facts facts facts facts facts
Yep, sums it up...Night shift.
I watched this tonight with my fellow nurse's at the nurse's station with our water bottles ! Blake thanks for rocking our shift.
LOL hahaha
@@NurseBlake I shared you with my UC, she mad Kool. Reason I stay!

Nurse comedy is so needed at this time. Great job Blake!
:-) thanks so much for watching!!
@@NurseBlake Thank you.
This is hilarious!! Spot on, right down to the N95’s re-used in brown paper bags!
If nurses can’t drink at the station, JC can’t drink at their desks either.
Heck...they just go out and have two hour lunches and drink whatever they want !
No food at their desks either.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yes! Yes! Yes! So true! Where is jcaho now when hospitals have lack of supplies and floors are running 6:1 with 1 tech. We had a code in one room and a detoxer in another...save the code or keep the detoxer from walking around naked? WHERE IS JCAHO!
This man is a national treasure.
Go nurse Blake ! 🙌🏾😂😂 this was hilarious and true
100% truth. I work in hospice in billing and coding and records. I work with an awesome clinical team. Any surveyor-state, CMS, Joint Commission- they're all the same. Love your comedy!
Dehydration causes fatigue, blood toxicity, and kidney disease.
I worked at a hospital that did not allow staff to have any food or drinks in the units. But then upper management would try to motivate people by occasionally going through all the units handing out food and drinks.
omg when you said I got 99 problems and bitch that at one pointing to the water bottle! I felt that
We just had a visit from TJC. I'm going to play this video for the team when we sit down to go over the findings.
So great to hear it from another RN!! Speaking truth!
Water bottles, cork board, Card Board boxes, tape. I could keep going with the silliness of TJC. How dare they judge us when we were out here dieing and putting our health and our families' health at risk while they disappeared!

This was funny, even though I'm a nurse in Israel who is allowed a water bottle wherever I want one, I feel for you guys.
You are just spot on with the state of nursing all over the world! Keep on telling the truth!
To paraphrase a certain politician, "The only ones who do this (Serve) are suckers and losers."
I solemnly affirm to God (cuz' I wouldn't want to swear) Nurse Blake is spot-on !!!! The very, very same problems and attitudes were present when I first graduated in 1975 as when I retired in 2016 !!!
Horribly sad and hilarious at the same time !!!
And, being a Texan, I truly love the Buc -ee's cup, the Kolache joke, and the props to Shipley's do-nuts😂😂
Ok, I can’t stop watching and laughing at this comedic gem….99 problems!!!
Hey Blake, you’re amazing! I’ve always loved your stuff, but this stand-up was next-level-it was perfect! You had me laughing the whole time. Huge props to you for killing it out there. Can’t wait to see what you do next
OMG Blake, you brighten my day! You are hilarious! Never stop!
aw, thanks so much!!!
This is amazing! I’m at the age where I’m losing my filter and I can’t wait until our next survey 😁
Nearly split my food out 🤣 we got 99 problems bahaha 🤣🤣
Not only you, but I also brought out my food more are remaining 🍭🌟🏧
Watched this with colleagues in the UK swap JC for CQC and it's exactly the same and so true🤣🤣🤣🤣
you’ll have your own netflix show before you know it, blake!
I’m a Respiratory Therapist and they hit our department hard a few years back. They didn’t like the way we were DRYING our bronchoscopes. 🤦♂️
I still want to know why JCAHO hasn’t yet discovered that toilets don’t have lids and they spray what’s ever getting flushed onto the paper towels that are a foot away from the toilet. 🤣
I can’t count the number of ties I’ve watched this skit but I crack up every damn time…effing brilliant!
You had the whole wound care department in stiches! RNs from WA!
JCAHO is basically the TSA of the hospital world
I don't know about that. TSA has stopped bombs and drugs, right? I mean somebody must have had drugs or a bomb on them at least ONCE, right?
You are so right and so hilarious. Keep it coming.
Just went through this last week. We have SERIOUS problems at my job. However, when jcaho came, our boss was flying off the handle about water bottles!!! She threatened staff and all!!!! 🤬🤬🤬

So true, so true! Love it! Man, I wish I was there at your sold out show in Minneapolis. Maybe 2022.
I smiled and nodded this entire video. 🥰
Spot on Nurse Blake!! You had our team in tears!!
You're hilarious Blake 🤣 💙
haha thank you!!
They just came to our hospital. The first thing the managers did.... "no water bottles please"
Right on. Old crusty nurse here, retired. I played Joint like a fine guitar.
I work in SNF settings and I've always said that they want us to push fluids and make sure that patients are hydrated but they don't gaf about employees staying hydrated.

Imagine Blake comes in as your nurse? I would be in shock and start off as " Holy shit. I love your nurse videos"😅
💯spot on. I never tire of watching this bit.
Well said!! The last thing they should worry about is … my bottle of water.
You are the best!!!
This never gets old. Love it
Is he saying “sawl”? “They sawl us?” He’s hysterical and right on the money! Lol
I can see some members of Joint Commission sitting in the audience😂 … (crossed arms) “That’s not us. That is NOT us!”
Joint commission if they were really concerned, they wouldn't tell you they were coming! It's a joke
exactly!!! lol
My mom just sent this to me and she was a representative for joint commission. This is funny...
Btw, they changed their name to TJC, THE Joint Commission, some time ago...
Girl you got it spot on!!
Yaaaasss!! 99 problems... 😅😅😅
Does anyone remember Fire Marshal visits in hospitals? Now hospital halls are obstacle courses.
Just found you. You're a hoot. Needed a good laugh and I sure got it. Looking forward to more of your videos. You're so spot on it
Blake, you are a warrior!
This is 100% accurate
In the UK I’m not too sure but our equivalent is care quality commission/lead nurses. And it’s a panic of make sure your paperwork is up to date
Yes!!! Water bottles and coffee cups. Hide them!!!! 🤔 I need a cup of coffee to make it through till 11 pm. I need some water because I talk for 8 hours straight. Answering the phone and the call bells. 😂
That was flawless!!! You’re such a good writer!
You go gurl! Yaaaaaaz! Flip that weave!
😂 I laughed so hard I might need MY brief changed!
Thank you @Nurse Blake for the comedy relief as I begin my New Year’s Eve night shift. 😷
Being very familiar with TJC this is absolutely so true and hilarious!!!!!
I fricking love this man. 😂
ily tooo!
Oh so wish you had been one of my nurses during my 7 month hospitalisation as a teen… we would’ve hit it off!!
You are not far fetched cos i can be your personal nurse and doc
Hilarious. Love Blake, so true.
I cried with laugher…they are coming to my job soon and the biggest ISSUE is TAPE RESIDUE. All papers must be in plastic with no scotch tape. Major concern!
Blake is on point.... Was usual! 😂
This is proof Nurse Blake deserves a Netflix special!!!
They complain about drinks at the nurses station even if they have a lid on and complain about portable fans.
Well said. Where was Joint Commission? So powerful! Thanks, Blake!
Why can't I like this a million times!!!
hahaha :-)
OMG Blake PLEEASEEE come to Orlando! We would love to spend time with you! We all need the laugh! Many blessings! ❤️
Awesome Blake! Keep up the great job!!
Crying tears of joy. 😂 😭. I SUPPORT THIS!!!! Hahaha!

Standing ovation 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
4 shots of tequila and this is still Hella funny
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 you tell them Blake!
I want to drink from a bottle of water at the nurse's station so bad when Joint Commission comes and dare them to say anything!!
Everybody is cracking up because it's so true
Hydration Station!! 🤣🤣
Love this!! So true! 😆
This year, JCAHO has declared there are no longer any “approved” power strips or extension cords allowed in a hospital. 🤦♀️
