🤣🤣 Aye I be trying to get like them lmaoo 💀
I did this while in nursing school. Some nights were easy and others were crazy lol 😆
Girrrllllll I know the truth when I see one cause one shift it would be all good and the next shift a patient will have me fighting for my life with the cops on speed dial 🤣🤣
Omg fighting for ur life 😂😂
Thank you for sharing your experience. Ive been raising kids and im about to start my nursing journey and it begins with a job as a patient companion. ❤😊 Im a little nervous but excited as well. I will be in the behavioral dept so most likely alot of the same type patients.
All will go well. 🤞🏽 Dont be the slightest bit of afraid 🥰
“Ain’t that what you wanted” lmaoooo omg I’m on the floor
😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂💀
I just accepted a job at a hospital as a sitter. Thanks for making this video I hope it's okay.
CONGRATS! & Aww , it should be fine love 💓
How do you like it so far?
"Im about to go to starbucks." 😂 YES! I just got hired 🙌
Ayyyeeee CONGRATULATIONS 🎉
I just got a job as a patient sitter . I start work on the 27th of March . So I’m hoping i enjoy it .
I hope you will as well, hows it going so far? And congratulations 🎉
Update?
hey you're doing a great job as a patient sitter. i want to work as a patient sitter. I've had 23 psych hospitalizations. and the patient sitter all played an instrumental role in assisting in my mental health recovery as i awaited my transfer to the actual psych hospital. I've had amazing conversations with patient sitters. All except one have been incredibly patient and kind to me. The last dude i talked to i think his name was darnell- he was awesome. We talked NBA and sports for 8 hours. we talked from 11 pm-7 am until i was transferred. it was an amazing convo. The other girl i spoke to for like 3 hours just in spanish. she was very kind and helpful. I want to work as a patient sitter. I've had so many inpatients i can basically teach all the stuff they discuss in the psych hospital. i really want to work in this field. i've applied for 10 psych jobs since my latest hospitalizations, which was just 10 days ago.
Hear anything back?
Thank you!!!! 🫶🏽 And oh wow, to me you have to be a strong person to be in psych so I already commend you lol have you heard anything back yet? I know 10 jobs you should be bound to hear from at least 1. Anyways, good luck 🍀 Hope everything works out and thanks for leaving this beautiful comment 🥰
@KenjjiArii I have never even heard of hospital sitter before until I came across a video and it was briefly mentioned.
Some people said that they knew somehody who was a hospital sitter while she was going to school to be an R.N.
She would sometimes study while at work.
I dont know how your able to do your job as a hospital sitter if you have to constantly check the patient and write down information every 15 minjtes. I think all that writing would get annoying if its as much as what it seems if you have to write stuff down every 15 minutes.
I heard it can be both boring and stressful depending on what kind of patient your watching over.
I heard its great if you are a good conversationalist snd can offer words of wisdom and encouragement to the patient if they are depressed.
That might be hard for me since Im an introvert snd although I dont mind talking to folks. One lady said she talked tonher hospital sitter for hours. And that would be super annoying for me.
And I wonder how dangerous it is to be a hosital sitter to patinets who are trying to hurt themselves and others.
I do have experience in being a good and patient caregiver to some of my loved ones. Especially my grandmother that had a brain anerism.
I had actually mobed in with her after she had a stroke so I could watch over and observe her and then one day she her speech started getting thick and I worried she was having another stroke sonI called the ambulance right away and it turned out to be a brain anerism.
After her surgery she could not walk or talk anymore. She would have to endure many months of physical and speech therapy.
She and I moved in with my uncle and I took good care of her and bathed, turned and dressed her and cooked for her and I even bouggt a sign language book and taught her finger spelling and some hand signs so she could communicate with me what she wabted with her hand until she cluld speak again.
And she did speak and walk again. But it took many month's lf phsyical therapy.
And so I know I am capable of helping others.
But it worry if I can handle the a job kike a hospital sitter if its extremely stessful with a suicidal patient. And ehst are the chances of me getting attacked by them?
Im 36 heard old and Im no lobger a spring chicken.
I also have alot of physical back aches due to herniated discs, scoliosis, arthritis and inflammation. So I know I cannot handle a physically demanding job at all.
And I prefer to not have to bath and turn over and lift patients.
So in a way the hosital sutter job sounds better atleast on me physically.
Now I live in Alabama so I assume the pay is not as high as it is in other areas.
I dont know if it has flexible hours and can you choose early day shift or night shift and work part time?
I would prefer early in the morning like 5a.m. or 7a.m. and just work a 8 hour shift.
I am curious if there are shorter or longer shifts. I had heard of 12 hour shifts and that is out of the question. No way am I doing that.
Plus I am trying to figure our if college is even a good option for someone like myself and what would be best for me?
I struggle with math. So I dont want to habe to deal with math if I can help itamd if I do have to donany math, I just want basic math.
I do not like constantly being challenged mentally or physically. I just want things to be so easy, even a person like myself with a slight learning disability can still do.
Its not that I cannot learn. But math was where I struggled if it was above basic math.
And when Im new at learning something. I may have to shadow someone and have seversl days to get use to the areas and all the new information loaded on ny brain. I dont like stess from learning something new that is complicated snd not easy to understand.
However, I am very very good at maintaining a calm exposure and presence when other people are stressed. So I do have my strengrhes and weakness.
Now, some said that they were first a hospital sitter then moved up to a tech. What did they mean?
Im afarid there is so many more postions in the hospital I just did not know anything about.
I have heard or a steril tech.
Was she talking of that?
Now I heard this job could at times be stressful.
I know there are a few careers in the medical field that only require a GED only.
But I dont know them all. And I most definitely dont want to do anything that means me handling things and doing things to the patient that could lead to something bad happening.
Especially if it requires you to do alot of constant math.
Im having a hard time weighing my options for both decent or high salary jobs that only require a ged or math 1 or 2 year of college or some certified program.
Being on my feet non stop always on the move not being able to sit and take a break or eat if I get really hungry or drink something. I just want a job that suits my needs and doesnt add to my physical problems and pains and provides anreally good income.
And I heard being a hospotal sitter was a good job if you planned to atill go to college and study.
How could I take my study books to.eork with me though and yet write every 15 minutes if the patient got upset or watched tv etc?
If there any other suggestions anybody might have on what career to move up from a hospital sitter?
And is there is a decent or a high salary job in the medical field that does not require you to do nath or anything nkre than basic math? And you dont have to bathe the patients or clean bed pans, or require alot of physical contact with them?
And a job that is not overly stressful that alot of people in the career get burnout out and depressed and quit?
And I worry about jobs in the medical field where you ahve to continue your education like wvery 2 years and reapply for your licence I guess. Thats basically signing on to be in school forever.
And I do not want that at all.
Ive heard some about a tech phamacist. And they probably have to continue their education some.
I dont know the process.
I jjst dont want to waist my time going to college for somwthing I will hate.
Nor do I want to waist my time in college and go into alot of dept if I can find a great slaary job that is not stressful if at all possible, bot physically demanding. And that you can get prpmtotions and maybe later go to college to get a better position in the area you are at. I would to love to hear more about this.
But you said you were no longer a hospital sitter yet thats what it looked like you were doing?
So what exactly is your job title now.
And how is it different or better than a hospital sitter and is it considered to be a step up?
You should, patients need people like you who are passionate about helping them, especially psych patients. You seem to be empathetic and you have an idea about what a patient does, be aware of their personalities, some patients do not want to speak and it’s fine, you just tell them that you will be there to help and they can let you know if they need anything. You should also look into becoming a therapist if you like to talk to people and you listen to them. I have been a pct/sitter for 3 years and I have met and listened to so many stories, some patients really love the company.
This was helpful I’m applying to be a patient sitter at the hospital near by glad you made this video
No problem! GOODLUCK, it’s one of the easiest things ever lol 🍀
Did you get the job? I'm thinking of applying
Lmaooo screaming!!! She said ain’t this what you wanted! Lol
🤭🤭🤭🤭
I applied to be a patient sitter, I’m a medical assistant but I really want to try this job. ❤hopefully they hire me 😅
Hopefully 🤞🏽 keep good spirits cause I feel you could still be qualified for it especially with MA. But keep me updated 😊
thank you for this video!! i start in 10 days as a patient sitter!!
How did you get the job it’s kinda hard to get your foot in the door
@@zoritaper6128 go to the hiring events the hospitals does it’s so much better than applying online
@@alaniswilliams1639 thanks so much
GOODLUCK GIRL! What shift you decide on?
& @Zori I second that! Its more like first come first serve type thing to me cause all the online applications I can only imagine but showing up and actually showing interest sets apart 😉
I was suppose to have an interview for this position tomorrow but I declined. I don’t think I can do 12th just sitting and the hospital I applied is a terrible one. I don’t have time for the nurses and their bs lol I wish I could get in at a different hospital but all the others want you to have a BSL.
I can completely understand being that I have older coworkers who refuse to Sit and if they get floated to go sit they are always trying to switch with someone younger just because they cant just sit for 12 hours but also because they are older and their bones & stuff be locking up they say lol so I get that its not for everyone plus it might make the time go by very slow for some 🤷🏽♀️ but anywhom, I wonder whats the point of you having a BSL? Im confused on that lol
Girl you are hilarious 😂
😉 thanks lol
I love this thanks for upload sis ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for enjoying it! 🥰🥰
10:19 “ain’t this what you wanted” NAH FR😂👏🏽
🤣🤣 I gotta start being more serious on here lmaoo
Thanks for this vid.
Thanks for watching 🥰
Patient attendant and sitter are the same thing right? my friend worked as a patient attendant and i just applied to be one… and i have an interview coming up… anyways this video was basically what my friend was saying the job is, but you don’t need to be a CNA …. she worked as a patient attendant with only a high-school diploma and no other work experience.
I believe so. Definitely don’t need to be a cna for patient sitting, but not sure if they pay you more just because of that extra qualification neither 🤷🏽♀️ How did the interview go? 😊 Wish you well!
So is that going to be a thing now? “ER BOOTY” 😂
lol IDK but we shall see 👀 hahaha YOU GUYS SEEN IT HERE FIRST THO! 💀💀
It sounds like most patients are in a facility for maybe just a few days or a week? Will the same sitter stay with the same patient everyday that they are there? I'll be working 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. 3 days a week. It will be nice to have 4 days off a week but 12 hour days is very long! Maybe it's doable though.
It depends on the unit, mostly in the ICU our patients stay a little while longer, or at least until we can send them to the actual floor. & as for sitters, they normally dont get the same patient back because usually we would get that patient a room and send them to a department. Its unlikely to have to sit a patient in one spot all day for 24 hours plus lol but over all it is very doable. I hope that you like it. ENJOY!
Would you recommend day shift or night shift ? I'm a night owl so I'm good to do a grave shift but from various people I hear grave shift some patients are more aggressive lol
Day Vs Night is no different in patients attitudes to me lol I totally prefer nights tho 😉
do you always chart on paper? I’m a sitter but only time we paper chart is when the pt is on video monitoring or when the internet goes down
Giiirrrrrrlllllllll these folks ghetto ratchet lmaooo but YES!!! They always have us paper chart when Patient Sitting. The nurses mainly take care of the computer portion and we just turn the sheet in but chillleeee yes lol I cant tell you how many times I done lost the darn paper hahaha
Can you read your book as a patient sitter
Yes
Can you get up and stretch or read?
Yes! Definitely lol they would be crazyyy if they told us we couldn’t 😭
What things can u have on you while on shift ?
They dont really specify that with us cause girl I be having my EVERYTHING still on me. Phone, iPad, chargers, pens, snack, etc. 😭
I see one job availability for patient sitting on indeed it’s about 30 minutes from where I am is there another way find patient sitting job other then indeed ?
Yes. Try going to hospitals in your areas website and search the career from there. There seems to always be a Sitting position open
In order to do this, do I have to be a CNA?
Not necessarily but I “heard” they will pay you better if you are. 🤷🏽♀️ idk how much truth that is tho lol hope this helped
1:30😭😭😭😭
🤐😭
Patient sitting. wow never knew this was a thing.''
How did the interview go? If you got the job, did you like it? I just got hired as one and my first day on the floor is coming up. I hope I like it.😅
Girl yes! lol a big thing once you realize these ppl qwaaaazzzyyyy 😵💫
I was also wondering the same on how you are liking it so far.
I'm starting this position on Monday but having a hard time deciding between days or grave shift
Any thoughts
Depends on if you can stay awake during night and if you know how to occupy yourself at night as well lol
GOODLUCK! 🍀
For nights you get a differential then if you work on a weekend that’s another differential on top of that! Usually adds up to like 2-3$
Do have give patient showers,take them to bathroom etc….
No we dont unless they are already assigned to a floor. But strictly in the Emergency they dont have none of that lol

And you said yoi were no longer a hospital sitter. So what exactly are you doong now and what is your job title?
And is it a natural step up some folks do who use to be a hospital sitter?
Hiiiiiiiiiiiii 😊 Hospital sitters are sooo usual here where im from. I think they have themmin almost every hospital here in Texas. Where are you from? Some hate to sit because 12 hours is a long time and some love it because they’re able to get other things done (study etc) while being able to work.
And yea you’re right I can agree that sometimes it can also be dangerous because they dont really teach you nor train you how to be a “patient sitter” they just throw you in there and be like “ok this is the patient, this is their problem and you have to watch them” but every patient isn’t the same so some really could be harmful or combative or something like that and they dont teach us what to do in those situations especially when we are the ones in the room ALONE with the patient 🥴
I just read again and seen youre in Alabama. I think you would be fine if you would like to try it out and see if you like it. You could always do something else if you don’t remember that. Its not a lot of strain on your body like turning and flipping patients (being that you are older) but also sitting or standing in one room all shift might be equivalent in another way so im not sure 🫤
You can dm me or send me an email and I can answer the rest of the questions that you may have. Its sorta hard for paragraphs in the comment section lol sorry but hope most of this helped ♥️
DO AMYBODY KNOW HOW TO APPLY FOR A PRIVATE SITTER AT A FACILITY FOR JUST ONE RESIDENT I WORK AT A ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY NOW AND WE HAVE PEOPLE COME IN AND SIT WITH JUST ONE RESIDENT THATS WAT I REALLY WANNA DO BUT I DONT KNOW HOW TO APPY FOR THAT CAUSE I HATE MY JOB
Hey boo, now I dont fullllyyyyy have the answer to your question but I have seen a few people that do that and they are basically hired from within or through a different staffing agency like ShiftKey, Blueforce or simply by searching Indeed for families who are looking. Not sure if this helped much but I hope it did 🫶🏽 @teeyonaechols3934
O OK GIRL I JUST GOT HIRED THRU A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER THURSDAY WAITING FOR MY ORIENTATION DATE
Congratulations!! 🎉
How do I get started?
Look for local sitting jobs on hospital websites 😇
can you stand while you sit?
Yes absolutely lol I would say do anything to stay awake and safe 😉
Hey, I just was wondering what's the pay range for a sitter position in your area?
Here in Texas I believe Patient Sitters specifically hospital based with no experience are paid starting at $15. Nothing less I believe.
Now it might be different outside of hospitals and ER's.
In NJ, they get $18/hour. Found that out when my husband was in psych hold.
Are you staff or agency
Staff :)
how much do you get paid?
hahaha I just responded to a comment similar to this right under yours lol but to be straight forward since you surely are asking straight forward, I get paid no less than $17 patient sitting. :) (but its more than that just giving you a more direct starting range lmaoo)
I'm sorry but I couldn't do that job
Hahahaha alot of people cant stand doing nothing or not moving around all shift so I understand lol
@@KenjjiArii I'm an Anesthesia tech so I'm used to moving around and being hands on
Oooouuuuu I wanted to do that so bad, how is it? lol
Ooooouuu u can wear nails
Wellllllllllll, technically.. No 😂 but im hoping you wont snitch lol
Ghetto next
😴😴
