I started as a med surg nurse and it was ROUGH. Now I'm in the OR, and much happier. I'm thankful for the skills I acquired but I felt like my license was at stake daily smh
@@emmegrace5595 wow I just applied for med surge…
I’m still on the fence if I want to try something new. I think I just do not want any extra stress on me bc the only thing I’m really interested in outside of working on the ortho unit I usually work is critical care/ICU and that just seems like TOO much, I’m not ready for all that learning and being all new and doe eyed. Plus it will be a pay cut
I’m glad u like OR nursing, I talked to one and she said she had so many kidney issues d/t not drinking enough. Is that a thing in the OR?
@@yourfavnurseb9699
I work In the OR and pop in to take a BR and drink break after I drop off the patient to PACU. We also get break and lunch relief. If you call the schedule desk needing to go to the bathroom someone will come and relieve you also. Wayyyy different than the floor. On the floor I always made sure I would take the time to drink and use the bathroom between patients though. It may have been more doable because I worked at night. What we may have not gotten was a true break or lunch.
I forgot to mention that the OR has a different kind of stress though. Room turn around times, needy surgeons etc
I just got off the phone with a hospital recruiter for a PRN job. She offered me $30/hour flat rate to take up to 7 patients...No thanks.
???? Now that’s only a good rate for a tech or CNA, ain’t no way nurses are getting paid that low. And with 7 patients, they really tried it
@@yourfavnurseb9699 Welcome to Alabama.
Oh helllllllllllll no
I love your enthusiasm cause girl, I can not go back to the M/SFloor! I’ve worked as a case/care manager in hospital and clinical outpatient setting since 2016…different stress! But people really need to take their health seriously and get it together because nurses are burning out on those medsurg floors and it’s only going to get worse as people get sicker. But if I could work with you on the hospital floor I would because I know you are not lazy and work hard (like me)
Aww thx I don’t mind working hard and actually enjoy it sometimes esp when you are working with a team and we can all help each other. But coming into craziness everyday (which to me is always the case when I pick up on the med surg unit) is just too much, esp when your charge nurse has a full team…or there aren’t any techs, how can anyone work together!?
I started RN career as a med surg nurse 😩 , then surgery PCU and now Women Surgery nurse
Which was best?
@@Nurse4Life255 I preferred Surgical PCU , Med surg was a catch all, 6:1 ratio just a lot overall she like she mentioned in the video and where I work my CN had just as many patients the nurses had . That’s insane to have a patient load and have to be a resource as well!
I think it’s great to have all that exp. Thanks for sharing
They are fortunate to have you. 🌞 I do not miss any of this. 💜
Ha!
That is a major safety issue! Not enough staff. I work med surg telemetry and our ratio is 4 pts to 1 nurse. Charge has no pts but does break 3 nurses for lunch breaks. 😮😊
Oh I work I SF. 😊
Yes that’s the way to be, do you all have a union?
Currently travel nursing doing med-surge in rural Alaska. On average I have 3-4 pts. I never wanna leave😂. Med surge isnt the worst depending on local!
Oh that’s sounds like, I heard Alaska is beautiful.
@@yourfavnurseb9699 Yes girl. Easy money for the most part. If theres an emergency, we ship them to the bigger city
I’m looking to travel but concerned if the patients and staff are receptive to black nurses in the rural areas. Have you had good experiences so far?
Enjoyed this day in the life video! I’m not a nurse but this video was very interesting. Thanks for sharing
I'm a tech and I love working Ortho unit. I want to work in Ortho or OR as a nurse.
That’s awesome! It feels good when you enjoy your job.
I just need my 1 year then I want to settle into a nice specialty from med surg.
That’s the old school way, they used to always push, “do a year of med surg first”. But nowadays nurses say go straight into your specialty of choice and get into a new grad residency. Idk which option is best. I think maybe doing medsurg first can burn you out and maybe instill some not so good habits (bc you have to stretch yourself so thin). But also medsurg helps you to learn time management or at least forces you too.
Correctional nurse 😁...I did med surg for my intern and was like no thanks but thanks for the experience
Omg everytime I come across someone that’s worked in corrections they love it, I just can’t be on edge like that, I hate hearing all the weird stories about how people may have ended up there. That energy just stays with me. But nurses love doing it and I’ve heard that the pay is good.
Med surg wasn't for me. Too much drama and hard work for little money. I've been in psych for 5 years, and it's way better for my body and personality. Nursing is a joke in 2024.
I’m so scared of psych I hate being on high alert and it just feels sad esp when you deal with younger clients, I just think am I really helping them? But every psych or addiction nurse I know loves it.
I just started med surg tele about a month ago. I love it. We can get up to 6 patients.
That’s great, I want to learn tele nursing, it helps to have this training esp with traveling, they will always have medsurg tele nurse gigs
My sister works at a med surge/ nursing home. But they usually just float her to the med surge unit. She hates it. She gets about 30 patients as an lpn there. She says they always understaffed with nurses and cnas. Its so bad she wants to leave the field.
Omg I don’t miss those days. I hope she can find a different work setting because it can get better
Wound Care Nurse.💜
I’ve always like wound care. I think wound clinics are cool too, get them in and out.

Nurse B can you do video on medsurge documentation routine vs long term care documentation routine
Yes!
Charge 5 gawt damn!!! Wtf place is that so i can report it to the feds and help yall out
😂😂😂😂😂
HA! If I were her, I’d be done. It’s a slap in the face to deal with that on top of your duties as a charge and you know that if she didn’t do everything they would be on her like, “what happened, why didn’t this get done?” 🤦🏽♀️
Is that your usual hospital? I just started as a cna at my hospitals medsurge respiratory unit, so far, so good. Any tips?
Yes, just not usual floor. Biggest tip is, if you plan to become a nurse make sure they help you with school. Otherwise just keep doing your best, ask for help when you need it and don’t tell them folks all your personal business or get too overly friendly, people will use that against you.
@yourfavnurseb9699 thanks! They have a pretty generous tuition program. For 2 years of work and meeting the requirements for the local colleges nursing program they cover 100% tuition
What state are you in? They dont have any rules against how many patients you can have?
Missouri. I know in nursing homes it’s very lax and nurses will have up to like 100 patients on night shift (no lie) but not sure about the hospital.
Hold up , no tech ?
Having a tech is becoming less and less common unfortunately
Techs can make more $$ working at Target or Starbucks or waitressing. Being a tech is good if you want the hospital to pay for your additional schooling to be a RN/LPN and you pay them back with an agreement to work for them!
Then the techs on our med surg floor always has 15+ patients. I definitely understand the burn out.
I agree there are perks, I wish I would have started as a tech in the hospital vs being a CNA in LTC
Yea it sucks, they get ran ragged
