Nursing school is difficult but not in a good way. There is a lot of incompetency and bad management in running some nursing schools. The exams are difficult because they don’t teach. If I get As in all my classes all throughout my life (in other challenging programs) and suddenly I’m so confused and don’t even know what to study is not an indication of difficulty of the material but rather the incompetence of those who run these classes and programs. Too many big egos and little intellectual curiosity. And that’s what I wish I knew so far. I am very disappointed in the education I am receiving.
A lot of us POST COVID nurses are disappointed, because it was a silent volcano that erupted and it became clear there was a nearby volcanoe after COVID 🌚 And crap is vicious. I think new nurses are less prepared at this point.
I am a baby boomer and we are getting ready to retire . We all put in 40-45 years in nursing. It was a job. And we did it we was a family. We worked we played we cried together. Our manager said a work we said anything. Grow up and work your an embrassment. To nursing and learn to organize and run.
Now the ppl that would have been placed in an asylum are having children and trying to live “normal” looking lives. Ppl are doing hemodialysis on themselves at home. Pediatric home nursing is in single home and parents leaving the other children in the care of the nurse. In hospice no more wants anyone to die… so the family refuse to give pain meds… and some are put on hospice with pacemakers and are FULL CODES. Some hospice patients live at home alone no family. It’s a hot mess now. I started nursing in 1997.

Deana.. 23 yrs as a nurse. I was a unit clerk/monitor tech before that. I had gone into it because I was a single parent. I wanted something more...money and a career. Nursing school fit my out look at the time. When I started working as a nurs, I recognized it for the abusive relationship it was.
did you witness a lot of patient death? what kind of nursing did you do? im a student considering leaving the school for it and want more insight, I have only recently opened my eyes to the negatives
@@jasminedavani6769 yes, plenty deaths and near deaths. Today post Covid it’s not worth it. The money isn’t worth your femininity…your joy, your self love. These things are hard to hold on to in this profession. Nurses don’t want their children to be nurses. ❤
Oh my gosh, Scott is so right. I was not for the "friendships at work" thing and, boy did I learn the hard way. It was a major struggle for me as I am introverted. I'm not in Informatics....thank God!
I’m glad this was mentioned because if there was only one way I could describe myself, it would be “introverted”. Pretty much every aspect of my life has been governed by this characteristic. Like, not even sure I could say it’s something “about” me lol it’s just IS me. Now I know I need to work on building and maintaining friendships throughout my time in nursing school. 😅
I totally enjoyed the content this evening. I left nursing some years ago due to mandatory overtime and on call hours. My background was in telemetry, ICU, Trauma, Peds. PICU, and a stint in high tech home care. Thank you for the enthusiasm and knowledge shared!! Keep it up.
I still want to become a nurse and I have weigh the pros and cons of attending nursing school. I work in the school system as a Teacher assistant and I am not enjoying the education system. I still want to work with children and have the flexibility to earn more and make difference. I want to be a pediatric nurse and I wouldn't even mind becoming a school nurse . I have had my experience with working as a CNA in a nursing home not the right setting for me. And I have been a caregiver to both of my grandmother's. My grandma I took care of for 5 years she passed away this year Sept 2022. I had to step back from taking my pre-reqs this semester. I will be back in school January 2023. The process of getting into nursing school has been stressful. But I don't see myself doing anything else. Nursing is always coming back to me. I have no desire to become a teacher. I have a strong desire to become a nurse. @Nurse Liz
Have you considered doing LPN? One year of school and then you can she is you want to commit your life. If you decide you do, the hospital will contribute to your continuing education.
The most frustrating thing about nursing is management. Its their way or the highway. Less pencil pushers and more hands-on the patient would make the job easier for sure. 😊
Not a fan of nurse Scott's Ego. Thank you Liz for always keeping it real. I really appreciate your comments and all that you do for nurses, nursing students and healthcare in general!
In regards to SNF/AL, IMO as a nurse who works with this population do not admit patients to any facility if you can take care of them at home. The facilities’ goal is to cut costs and provide the minimum in order to turn a profit. Facilities don’t staff to the level of need. Despite most staff trying to do their best, people get neglected due to the staffing levels. If you can afford to, keep them at home for as long as you can
After 50 years of nursing (now retired) the system went from health care to wealth care. I find nonprofits are really not non profit but more devious in assuring how they meet that requirement. My system asked staff what they did for charities asking them to document that and taking credit to cover their charity requirements. Such a sham.
Love Scott! I've had the privilege that my nursing managers allowed me to transfer and experience med Surg 2 yrs, ICU 2 yrs and ER for 6 months. I get ALL the conversation watching ALL the nurses in each department. Each was absolutely right in their department. Eye opening to see how/why we got this on the floor like this makes more sense after seeing the pregame. Liz🤣🤣 Scared of pregnant women🤣 Not wrong.
Just a perspective from a psych nurse. We don’t have iv’s on the floor(suicide risk) we are a psychosocial model not medical, so plz make sure medically stable with that in mind. Not a complaint just info.
I wish this ‘business sense’ was more talked about for sure. I went into it for the same thing: wanting to take care of people. It’s very stressed, it’s pushed even, you need to ‘care’ which is true. But then so crushing to watch people who don’t care making miserable clinical decisions for money.
I am L'D RN 40 yrs....ER gets a patient in labor and they call us in hysterics to come down and deal with it. They have drs....we are nurses alone in our dept without. Dr. We come down and do the job. Nurses not only have to know nursing, they have to know how to be a Dr. Too.
As a medical biller, I need that documentation in order to bill correctly for all your hard work. With that being said, as a patient I don't need to be a nurse or physician to know when something isn't right, reading through thousands and thousands of charting for billing purposes, I have enough exposure for knowing something was missed.
Thanks for initiating this content vlog. It is an eye opener not mainly for students who just got out from hugh school but also to those who want to shift career.
I don't get a good vibe from Scott. He teeters between what he perceives is humility and his own grandiosity. He corrects others often throughout the convo when he thinks they are not being humble enough. Example, Mr midwife shared a story about literally saving someone's life and how humble that feeling was. And Scott corrects him and says, he always says that "WE" saved that persons life because it was a team... 🙄. He completely misses the point in order to appear humble while simultaneously correcting someone else in a public setting. There are plenty more examples throughout this convo. Scott seems like a covert narcissist to me.
I have a degree in biology, and I retired at 60 and then there was the Pandemic. I am 66 and was thinking about it. I have enough to get by, I have a pension. I was told that I shouldn't do that. Anyway, I decided to not do that. I do my avocations-piano, writing, reading, walking, and languages, and I am living with my mother who is 94. She is good.
@@melindaaimeeroth5580 Hello Ms Melinda, let me explain my experience as a nurse of 26yrs. When I say you will never have peace is because you can never turn it off. Going through college is the foundation of it and you study like 24/7 to get here… then you get your license and get your groove after 3yrs, that’s a heck of a 3yrs… it’s extremely detailed and you can not leave a stone unturned. This means the first 3yrs if you take a 12hrs shift job… you start early to get your assignment and barring a then you run till you toes have blisters and at the end of the 12hrs, you have to account for every single thing you did in that 12hrs. You do as much as you can to keep up then you give report to the oncoming nurse and chart the next 2hrs or more sometimes. That’s 14+ hours, you go home exhausted… you haven’t ate, or ate 2 bites, only peed once, didn’t get enough water… you sit on the couch like a zombie trying to go through that 12hrs shift again to figure what you forgot. Or you get some food, shower and go to bed and images of your 12hrs pops up about what you should of said, what you could of done, what you need to do next time that happens, I can’t believe he didn’t give the blood transfusions and left it on me, I wonder if I should report him because it threw off my whole shift… I forgot my child needed XYZ tomorrow and I didn’t go get it, what time is it? It’s 12am is too late. Maybe I can get some one to….. That’s day one and you have to be at work at 6:30am you tossing and turning because your body been on 100 14-15 hrs now you want to be at zero and can’t mentally get there. It’s a thankless profession, when you have days off it takes so long to slow your mind down then you get one good night of sleep and back to the cycle again. Sometimes they call you at home if you forget to do something or write in the chart that you did it so they have to call you and if it’s important that’s 24/7 they can call because it’s a life evolved. Now you are 66yrs old…do you want peace or to be in pieces? Lol! I’m 53yo and I am very limited at what I can do Can you lift oversized human beings? Can you squat in a seconds time, twist like a pretzel bend and reach and catch and stretch to reach things you need to do your job without help? Baby my body… Then once you get these skills and abilities you it has a spiritual component. You off work and all sorts of things begin to happen in your presence…near death accidents, ppl dropping dead, folk choking, a kid drowning…and smart nurses never tell ppl what they do…because if you do….now everyone wants to tell you about their problems, illness, want you to be their resource….it’s your off day right? Right! I haven’t touched on the politics, the setups, the bulling, the manipulation, the clicks, the drama of working with a bunch of others. If you did your research and can pay cash for college go for it! Student loans are no joke in old age because you can’t get your social security if you have one.
My mom is a CNS (wound care, as mentioned). The biggest distinction I can think of is that CNS’ often practice in a largely consultatory fashion, rather than as a provider.
lol the ER vs everyone had me laughing. When i was a tech in Psy. our floor loved to complain about ER. I used to help and float to ER and can see both sides 💯. Totally think everyone should work a few shifts in units they work with to help with unit-unit relationships.
Thanks for this, as a nursing student. I have been taking care of people for 25 years in all formats.

You may realize in 5-8 years you may want out. Maybe even sooner. But I agree pharmacists are underappreciated.
