man, as a new grad, i like that you're real. Not like a lot of influencers on ig. been watching your vids for a couple days and they have been helpful.
Graduating in December and going to ICU tomorrow for my rotation and also hope to be able to do my preceptorship there! Thanks for the heads up! Will be binging the rest of your videos! Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow. Thank you so much for this message. I have been asking around to all the nurses I know what to expect and not one told me anything helpful. This is exactly the kind of information I was looking for.
I start my first shift in CCU on Monday and I found this video so helpful! It also brought back some things I learnt at uni but have not needed to consider on the general medical ward. Thank you for posting this
Hi Josiah, you obviously seem to be very passionate about nursing and you have the desire to learn more. Thats awesome! Keep doing what youre doing. I love your videos!!
Thank you for taking the time to share, I recently got offered an ICU residency position for spring 2021. This will definitely help. You just got yourself a new subscriber :-)
please do no stop with these educational videos for icu nursing. i've finished my orientation on the sicu floor at my hospital, and wished i found your videos alot sooner! they are all so helpful and alleviating for when i start my first shift on my own tomorrow. your statements are simple, straight-forward and easy to understand.
My first day of preceptorship at CTICU is in 3 days. Thank you for this!! I want to become an ICU nurse, so thank you for all of your vids, especially the one where you rant in your car! lol its nice to hear the straight truth of what the job is!
Starting in the SICU in a few months after having worked neuro med-surg for the last year. Loved this video. Been looking for concise overviews of what to expect and you did a great job.
Thank you for sharing! I work on a cardiac stepdown unit and I hope to get into the CVICU hopefully by the end of this year! Thank you for the video and the information!
Hey Josiah! I'm a med student from Canada, starting my first ICU rotation tomorrow. Thanks for your video, helped me review what to focus on and what to expect a bit! :)
I have nothing to do with nursing, however, this was a great video!! It kept my interest from beginning to end!!! I was able to understand the information given and the thought processes behind them!!! GREAT GREAT JOB!!!
I’ve been an ER nurse for 2 years now and will be transferring to ICU in a few weeks. I’m excited and nervous at the same time. I want to expand my critical care skill set and knowledge. Get into Critical Care Transport, open more doors for myself instead of feeling stuck in ER. Just hearing your tips here gives me a better understanding of the mindset in ICU. Compared to ER, I’m thinking what are they here for, what’s pending, what’s the plan, what did we do, and what do I have to do to keep them stable until transfer/dc.
I am so happy that I found your videos. You are so insightful. I am about to finish my prerequisite courses for nursing school. I want to be an ICU nurse.
I got placed in the ICU for my senior nursing capstone/internship! I am so thankful I found this video, I feel like at the very least I won't be walking in blind for my first shift on sunday!
You’re so handsome, made it easy to listen to. For real though I’m a med student starting my first day on icu and I actually found this super helpful to hear a nurses perspective. Thanks!
I nearly died from a "spontaneous" spleen rupture. My hemoglobin drop bloe 6. Elders from my congregation and family and friends, prayed over me. I have spotted memory. Know that your training, care, knowledge and gut feeling is a gift. ❤
Kilo 26 be confident in yourself. I struggled with that a lot. Also, be prepared for clinical scenario types of questions like if you have a pt with low BP and is dizzy what are you gonna do? At least that’s how mine started. I was sweating balls 😆
Hey there! Love your channel! I plan on getting into the icu when I graduate. I have 2 more semesters and it really helps to hear this because it tells me in studying the right stuff. Everything you went over seems very doable so that gets me excited! I'm vlogging Unruh my nursing journey so we will see how things go along. Thanks again for the video
Thanks for the video Josiah, Very helpful info! I just had my first day in ICU for PA school. Man ICU is a BEAST! I was Looking for youtube videos to study and I saw your face lol good to see you are doing great
Hey Megan! That’s so exciting you must be done soon! ICU is definitely a beast of its own and it can never be fully controlled. But I personally really loved it. I’m sure you will too! Best of luck and huge congratulations on all you’ve already accomplished!
was a tele nurse for almost three years, have floated to ICU before but tomorrow is my first official day as an ICU nurse. Thank you so much for this. freaking out so much that i found this video but thank youuuuu
Tomorrow is my first day on the ICU as a new grad. I appreciated this video so much! It is the first one I have seen that is straightforward and easy to understand. I will definitely keep this info in mind!
Thank you for posting this. I'm in NP1 and my main goal in life is to be a CRNA. I plan to apply for ICU positions due to the need of experience for crna school. This is something I will go back to constantly as a refresh.
Interviewing for Cardiac ICU tomorrow (wish me luck!) and this helped soooo much. Now that I have a general idea of what to expect, I feel more confident!
I'm going in for a interview as a patient care technician in the ICU this friday IM SO NERVOUS i finished my CNA course but i haven't even started my pre reqs for nursing yet I'm dying inside but I'm so excited at the same time !
Alexis Veal that's a great opportunity, but you shouldn't worry cna don't have that much of responsibility as nurses. I've been a Cna for 3 years and it's not bad. Just make sure to check urine, output take vitals, monitor input and output correctly, reposition patients every 2 hours and change them and give bed baths do oral care etc.
Tomorrow will be my first day BACK in ICU after not having worked there for three years. Covid19 brought me back and it led me to your video and it's been helpful. Thank you and stay safe - from Australia.
I interviewed for an ICU position a couple weeks ago and my shadow day is today and so nervous I can't sleep 😂 I also don't normally work day shift so this is throwing me off LOL. K, Mg, and hgb are the first values I look at in PCU as well.
@@TM11.. overwhelming but we have a pretty good orientation where I work, a couple months and lots of classes. So it wasn't so bad, hard when you're an anxious person tho!
@daniellezm Understandable! I'm pretty anxious too, lol so we'll see! But I guess anything new would make us feel this way, but good thing is that we do hv a nursing basis coming in, just gotta change our thought process. Thanks for the insight and continued success on your journey!
You are great, arterial line before blood draw for labs , initial 10 cc waste blood first. Is that still the rule? I am all about learning I like your energy
Uhm, this is helpful studying and letting myself be prepare for what's yet to come so i can get into ICU, get a good recommendation, head to med school for CRNA, graduate, dream job! lol thanks so much for this video! :)
"Tell a scary story" lol
Right?! It made me giggle
or pinch them really hard:)
If you accidentally rip out their foley catether it will go up as well. (Do not recommend.)
Great overview!! You should be an educator ... as an educator myself, I admire that you do a great job of explaining the basics of critical care!
I thought the EXACT same thing!! Important information streamlined very well
instaBlaster...
He likes learning to then break it down the most simplest way to teach others! He is pretty awesome!💯
First day in ICU and I realized I need to know all of these...fml
Good stuff bro, spoken like a true ICU nurse💪🏽
You’re like the most reassuring nurse I have ever listened to 😊
Being a nurse myself.
Good job

I was very nervous when I went in to Office Max for my interview. I have been working there for 2 years. You will do fantastic
I have started training since sept. its awesome but concentration has to be good. thanks for the talk bro.
Great to know! This is very helpful- I feel like I know nothing. Thank you so much!
thank u ....quite helpfull...im a new icu nurse
Thanks you love your explanation.
Great video! This would have been great when I first entered the ICU!
check your creatinine if you are replacing electrolytes!
Why is that?
@@juansaldarriaga8676 I might be wrong but I think it's to check the kidney functions and make sure it can clear the fluids
@@tyrmyrmidon2846 yeah, probably because you cant even give k+ to anyone who have any acute kidney injury or until the urine is at least 30 ml/hr
Tomorrow will be my first day BACK in ICU after not having worked there for three years. Covid19 brought me back and it led me to your video and it's been helpful. Thank you and stay safe - from Australia.
We are in the exact same boat! Best of luck stay calm and stay safe!
