Although this video isn’t as descriptive as I’d like, I figured I’d get one out and stop making excuses. This is a glimpse of a day at work as an nurse, lpn. I will really try to get a better video out for you guys, but it’s been extremely difficult since I haven’t gotten my groove back.
I’m just glad to see someone actually showing what they do at work, not a video full of unnecessary stuff like makeup or what your eating for breakfast and this and that.
taking my nclex in 2 weeks. Pray for me :) I have a job already and im so eager to get into the field i worked so hard for.
Also, thank you for allowing me to see your day as a nurse. You're influencing a lot whether you see the credit or not.
Good luck 🍀 you got this!! & thank you so much 😊
How’s nurse life?
I’m a cna currently getting ready to start school as an lpn
Good luck on your journey. Since you started as a cna, your going to be well prepared to be a nurse.
@@RukhShariq and what do you do for a living ?
@@kavitaramsingh4880 I am a nurse
@@RukhShariq Why is it a waste of time?
@LIFE IN USA is it a waste of time for someone that doesn't have four years to waste and needs to start making money sooner
I really love how you go right to the point of what we need to know, I loved the vid you really showed what you do not like other vids that just shows their coffee, bottle, scrubs, and snack 🤦 I will appreciate you keep talking about how to resolve some situations that it may come up in the shifts... Thank you so much!! New sub here 😘
Thanks for sharing, and thank you for everything you do for your patients!
No problem. Thanks for the support!
Got yourself a new subbie! Enjoyed the video. I am also a LPN working LTC in Ohio (7 years) & enjoy watching others in my same field of work. Great video!
Thank you Glad you enjoy my videos 💕💕
Like the saying goes don't be too good at something because their gonna burn u out because they expect u to do everything.
I've experienced this before.
the Nursing skills and excellence of the profession are good but like in any industry, there are downsides as well as
thing's that aren't fun. meantime it's a great career and it's an amazing profession in taking care of sick people who are fighting to get well enough to return to their daily lives. you seem like you do a great job I am glad for you so
keep after it. and thanks for these videos. I look forward to my First day of Nursing school but also I look forward to the First day of work as a Nurse employed at a hospital or facility.
New sub!!! Thank you so much for showing what it is like to be an LPN! I am planning to go to school to be an LPN 🙏🏻😄
Thank you for supporting. I definitely think it’s a great career. It’s not easy, but if you’ve already decided to do it, then I’m sure you’ve got what it takes.
Do you have that tips video?? I’d love to hear it! I’m pretty nervous into going in LPN, I’ll be immediately hired into my agency but I know it might be extremely hard! I love your videos because it gives me an idea on what I should expect & how the routines will go! Please keep posting!
Thank you for sharing this💜
This was a great video!! Thank you!
Excellent, thanks for sharing this this is cool stuff. Good job on your confidence in your duties as a Nurse. Your doing good
😷 I look forward to finishing my LVN school and getting hired...
Thank you. And good luck
You have such a relaxing voice. You truly need to mark this vid with tag that says "Unintentional ASMR" and maybe do other vids showing nursing supplies etc. Other than the beeping & random loud songs, this was the most relaxing nursing lesson I've ever had 😂🤍
Lol thank you. I find my own voice cringy at times lol. Thanks so much for watching 💕
god i rarely see males in these comments hyping you up . but i will im applying to the mohawk college rpn program im so eager to get in and start this journey . thank you for the great job at showing us how your day goes .
I hope your LPN company is paying you good. In my work place in Manhattan NYC nursing home, the pay is $45 an hour.
That sounds like an agency position. I’m staff with union. It’s good for me now because they are paying for school
Thank you I’m thinking of going back to school for LPN. I have my masters degree over 4 -5 years now. & the thought of going back to school is so intimidating. This video helped me to know- if you can do it - I can too! Thank youuuuu! 💙💙
I know it’s intimidating, but I say do it. The pay is decent. And the job stability is 💯. If you can just go straight for RN since you already have a degree and will be opted out of many pre reqs. You might have to re do your science courses, but the rn process will be basically equal to the time of being an Lpn since you have a previous degree. You can definitely do it!!
@@rachela23 thank you! You know what I will go for my RN. Thank you for that encouragement! Your video is so informative & very practical. Thank youuuuu honeybun! :) 💙
New sub, I’m considering going into the nursing field. Thank you for your help
im a med tech watching to see if this is something i wanna go to school for thanks for sharing ❗️😘
You’re welcome 😊. You definitely should.
God bless all
8:16 FELT...when you said reality kick in!! That's why I started doin corrections! Yes, they be cray, but it's like a few hrs with them and you good..pay is amazing!!! I dang near was burned out working at the rehab hosp/facility 😣!!
Inbox me 👆👆👆
A friend of mine recommended the Correctional nurse job.
Is it good pay really?
Good idea!
Nice video thank you please what are the requirements for this program I mean to be LPN?
In your experience is Lpn hard? Or stressing? This is my second choice my first choice is spt
They do take advantage of your kindness That’s every where that why it’s best if you work in the hospital or clinic they don’t play that crap you get whoever is available
I agree. I don’t plan on going to the hospital until I get my RN. For now I just need to be more outspoken and not let ppl walk all over me.
Inbox me 👆👆👆
im taking the TEAS on may 22nd 2023. really nervous about the math
I just want to say thank you and I appreciate all the work you do. I don't know you and I have no idea where you are at but thank you. Stay safe and healthy 🙏❤️. Great video🙂
Thank you so much for the well wishes. Same to you and yours ❤️

Is there anyone here from Philadelphia who can recommend a school that is not so expensive to study lpn?
They are in need in san diego areas thats there has been nurses traveling from different states.
I have a few questions when you have time. Is it odd to see male LPNs? I'm almost 40 and need to get out of unappreciated, sweaty factories and into something where I'm helping. And is midnight shift easier to get hired onto? I've always been a 2nd 3rd shift person so the hours don't bother me. Thanks and I look forward to learning more before I go back to school for the spring semester.
It’s isn’t odd at all. There are many male nurses (Lpn & RNs) so don’t let your gender deter you from entering this field.
Midnight shifts for me are personally the best. I don’t do it often because I don’t want to mess up my sleeping pattern, but midnights are much calmer because patients are sleeping. Good luck on your journey
Go for it! As she said, don't let your gender deter you. I was in school for RN, left....now years later considering it again or LPN. There were at least 5 guys in every one of my classes & many more in hospitals when I did clinicals. It's NOT easy, please be sure you truly are ready to learn in depth A&P and medications as people's life will be in your hands. Maybe even shadow at your local hospital & clinic. Best of luck to you
You can do it !! Goodluck
I don’t think i can ever pass my Nclex’s exams 💔💔😔😔😔❤️🩹❤️🩹
I've always believed Nclex is not all about studying, you need God's grace to pass
People keep talking about Cynthia all over TH-cam, she must be a very awesome help
@Yes you're correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves, try studying if you can't study then get yourself a good help
I studied for months and couldn't pass, i guess passing is a blessing.
Nclex might seem so tough to pass but studying very hard is a very vital skill to win trust me
Loved the video. May i ask where you get your scrub caps from?
Thanks hun. Amazon!
I appreciate this video because I graduate in December & im trying to see if LTC is a manageable option because I’m afraid of the nurse patient ratio as a new grad.
It’s definitely going to be scary at first because school doesn’t prepare you for the reality of the field. Eventually you will get the hang of it. Hopefully there are some future laws set into place for staffing 🤞

I know a Nyer when i hear one lol Thanks for making this video sis
Thanks for watching ❤️
Having a hard time picking which one to go to school for , Surgery technologist or LVN , decisions decisions
Go on indeed for your area and look at jobs under both titles. Check pay & Job availability. Pick whichever one is best for career longevity
This was such a GREAT DITL. Like it was so detailed and personally one of my favs so far. ✨
Thank you. As I keep doing them, hopefully it gets even better
Same here, I liked how informative this video is:) thank you!
Nursing home is stress for real 😧 I did morning shift as a new grad working for agency, I make money but I didn’t have any experience so it was hard for my first few days, I was so slow
Inbox me 👆👆👆
I’m a cna and we weren’t taught colostomy care. They should have but they didn’t now I’m having to bother other people on shift to show me
Girl how did you get into the meds and skills again did you study before you started working. I haven’t worked in 3 yrs I want to get back to it
I took the nclex right before I started working so I did have some knowledge from that, but I didn’t do any additional studying. I just went in and did my best. It was very nerve wreaking at first but I managed.
What's the nurse to pt ratio at night shift? I have on a good night 1:22 on a short staff night 1:45.
Depending one which floor 1:28. But usually 1:36-40
Thanks!! Do you actually recommend being a LPN in nyc??
Yes I do. It’s a stable consistent income. $65,000 a yr without overtime & great benefits ( this is for a staff job; agency will of course be way more). May not sound like much but there are ppl with masters degrees not making that.
I see you said you're doing a 16. Is there always OT available at you location?
Always for nurses. So much so, that I am over doing overtime. Imagine that.
@@rachela23 lol over doing OT I heard that
Maraming salamat sa kaalaman.
What language is that?
I enjoy seeing 👀 other people's work life as I'm a LVN going into my RN program.
Congrats & good luck
is it lvn to bsn?
im currently looking for a program..
@@AndreaMartinez-jc7dk yes there are some. East Tennessee state university offers it
@@AndreaMartinez-jc7dk Winston-Salem state offers a program
Do you have to start out as a cna or can you just go to school for lpn??
You can go straight to school for Lpn. Whichever route you choose to go is going to be beneficial for the next step.

Are you a introvert? I’m not really the talking type…I tend to fumble over my own words😭😭that’s something I’m really scared of doing when I first start. I just applied for school😩
I really want to just work with kids.
I’m not necessarily an introvert, but when I was younger I was very shy. With aging I got more assertive. I’m still quiet, but not because I’m nervous or scared, but because that’s How I prefer to be.
As you interact with more patients and you gain confidence in your role, you won’t be afraid. Don’t let fear keep you from following through because what scares you today might not tomorrow.
@@rachela23 Thank you so much for this.
Do you work weekends?
Yes. Every other weekend
She’s back!!
Lol. Really going to try and be consistent. 🤞

That’s the day nurses responsibility to explain to the patient that it is not your responsibility.
I agree. I hate that I ever had to come to that, but I can’t kill myself picking up others slack

To me it looks like the rules of staffing ratios in California are for hospitals. I’m an LVN student in California, and in the nursing homes I’ve gone to for clinical, they’re pretty understaffed, I’ve seen LVNs having to pass meds for 30-40 residents each
Smh this is terrible. Honestly it would be okay if all we did was med pass. But we do everything literally. These things have to change
Working hard
Lol. The midnight shift is pretty easy
Inbox me 👆👆👆
How much patients do u normally get?
When I first started I had a floor with 36 patients. The current floor I’m on I have a maximum of 28
Inbox me 👆👆👆
I’m a Massage Therapist,I thought of making a career change & being an LPN. Are there any LPN’s who work part time?
Also,you look like Ice Spice
is it a hard job?
Not anymore. Once you get the hang of things, even the craziest emergency is manageable
@@rachela23 okay thanks, i love you bye
I feel like I do most of the things you do except I’m not a nurse 😩
What do you do?
How do u balance your life n work
Inbox me 👆👆👆
10:07 get somebody else to do it 😂😂
Seems exactly what a Med-Aid does
Yes I pass meds exactly as a med aid would. I also do wound care, manage ivs, peg feedings, maintain/insert catheters, etc
That's not day shift
Day/shift in the life. Meaning day in the life /shift in the life
great video! from Canada LPN student
Inbox me 👆👆
No offense but you remind me of Ice Spice. Y’all sound and look alike. Like y’all could be sisters. Lol
lol surprisingly I get that all the time. I’m not offended lol
nice video i must say but first off i’m happy for getting my GED for my nursing school but i’m ashamed to say bought it from a legit source 💯
How do u balance your life n work
It’s still really hard for me, but I would just say discipline and daily vitamins. It’s easy to sleep away every second you have off, but you just have to try not to. I’m still trying to get the balance right & ny cold weather isn’t helping
Am a nurse as well new graduate so that's why I ask.... having a support system really helps some whom always got you're bk. For example you're at work n you're going through a hard day u can text that person n they comfort u....
Having like a good partner in you're life that's loving n caring, so like when u come home u get a foot rub and a massage and cooks well🥰
Yes my partner is very supportive, so that really does help
