This is where our class field trip is gonna be on December 16 & 17 im so exsided to get there 🎉🎉🎉

I recently left the Operating Room way too stressful 😩

I am a new grad, and I was considering getting into OR nursing. Your video is so helpful. Thank you. I love your positive energy!

How long did you work as a graduate nurse??

I’ve been a nurse for some time now and have been in a lot of different specialties. Watched this video just to get an overall feel for the OR. I just wanted to point out ESPECIALLY for day shift a lot of these cons will apply to all types of nursing. Thank you for the information.

I’m very much considering moving to St Pete from Chicago, and this popped up on my page 😮

Your moving to my home town

I’m from Daytona Beach, Florida, but I live in New Jersey

I would starve I eat all the time

I wanna go to the OR so bad, I finish my AAS in nursing in about 18 months and I’m in NJ too. Thank you for this video!! I love the advice and appreciate it

is this weekly or biweekly?

I left hospital nursing for a low stress nursing job and I LOVE IT!!! I think it's only in CA but a laser tattoo removal nurse Pay is less but worth the 9:30-6:00pm very low stress and people are Fun to work with! have Sun + Monday off and short day on Sat couldn't ask for more Happy Nurse here

I am an LPN of 24yrs. Completely burnt out. I have been doing SNF. Worst job ever now! Hopefully I don't give up totally but the anxiety and stress are destroying me.

School nursing is extremely stressful! You are constantly fighting with admin who believe that they are in charge of the nurse. No boo! Nurses are in charge of nursing. Stay in your lane! There are many unstable type 1 diabetic children that I had close to zero training dealing with. You're responsible for ensuring that the ENTIRE school is in compliance with their shots and physicals, field trips, etc. It's alot of work for one person😢

Just starting my nursing career in the OR great video!!! 🖤🖤

I accepted a new grad fellowship for the OR but my dream is labor and delivery ( they wouldn't accept new grads at the hospital I applied to), did you find it challenging to transition from OR to L&D and did you already have bedside experience?

I haven’t even started my college or done any pre reqs and I’m looking at my potential salary 😭 thanks for the video though haha!

I left bedside to do CM. I'm ready to go back. Not only do you have to deal with administration throwing you under the bus, patients are mostly unhappy about being discharged from their hotel, ahem, hospital so they threaten CM all the time with bodily harm (last week, someone threatened to put a bullet in my coworker's head, and this is Texas where EVERYONE has a gun). CM are literally the face of the bad guy (my hospital actually posts photos and contact info in each room). And you would be appalled at how many people try to PERMANENTLY dump sick elders in hospital, until you call APS.

I know this is old but had to comment having worked in OR and L&D (with some ER in there). It really all depends on your personal interests. For me OR was incredibly redundant and boring.. I worked at a level 1 trauma hospital which was huge, so we were all assigned to specific specialties; I was stuck in general surgery/urology (with occasional trauma if I was on-call) and I had to do everything to keep myself occupied (especially during a Davinci case). I also had the worst needle-stick/exposure (HIV/Hep C + patient) due to careless disregard for sharps precaution/zoning. I was pissed and HATED it lol. I quit that job with quickness. After that, I did L&D for 7 years and loved every minute of it. I'm now a "low stress" CM for HR OB ;) No shade at all, it's all what you are into! Glad you found your niche. EDIT* Forgot super important fact; After PEP meds and a year of testing, I never seroconverted from HIV or hep C... thank god!

Loved everything you’ve showed here! I was really surprised about the HIDUPZ crossbody. Love it!

Hi Cait.I'm thinking a lot about studying nursing to go work in the USA. May God give me direction.

About to go into the periop program… im in new jersey too.. lol.. we might be in the same system😂… do u ever think that if u leave the OR that u will have to relearn bedside? Im going into OR without other experience too.. thats my only fear, that i might not be able to do other units if i leave the OR one day

How is going to np school but having worked in the or and not knowing those clinical skills? I am an or rn and am concerned about going to np school because I know nothing on a clinical level…or is np school covering all those bases? I’ve been thinking of going to another specialty to have that clinical nursing experience

Thank you for this video! I’m graduating in 6 months and highly considering OR because I’ve been most interested in it after observing in clinicals. I’m just worried that I’ll lose all my skills taught in school and it might be harder to transition over to different units should I ever want a change. So much to consider!

Postpartum can be stressful too

Two slices of an orange?

I worked as a case manager and it is very stressful.

You seem like an honest and caring person, thank you for sharing you knowledge. A few quick questions for you, if you can give me some advice please. So I worked as an LPN for 2 years, in long term care and corrections. Long term care was easily the most stressful job I ever done in my life. I literally had panic attacks even on my days off, ended up depressed and qutting. I thought once I finished lpn school my life would get much better and that nursing was for me. Being an introverted person, the very demanding social aspect of nursing drained me very quickly, before quitting nursing I decided to go back to nursing school to get my RN. I just graduated May 2024 and I am waiting to take the NCLEX. I am seriously considering the OR. Do you have to deal with family members? Do you spend alot of time talking on the phone with doctors, families? Just having to make a phone call or answering the phone I get massive anxiety :/. I also thought of working in the ICU night shift but, I don't want to deal with family members at all!

I really liked postpartum as an LVN back in the day.

“The people that I actually like at this job” I felt that.😂 Glad you’re back!

Happy and excited for you 🎉

My wife as LPN was making $36 an hour before her nursing graduation. Now as nurse she’s making $48 an hour. & guess how much I make $29.47😅😅😅 Now should I get a new job or retire

I dont think it woukd be too bad for me . I'm a lpn we take care of 30 patients so having to worry about just one patient it woukd be great . I'm currently in school for my bsn now i have or in mind once i finish my bsn!

The OR is toxic

Did the 80k salary in your first year include any overtime?

Hi!! Im also in NJ and just started a job as a PCT on mother baby floor..i just started nursing school 😅

post partum is easy af BUT the nurses i knew were complaining because they kept getting called off and barely got any hours, unless you're in a hospital where babies are born alll the time. Also being an educator is stressful, most of the professors in my school seemed veryyyy burned out and have horrible attitudes.

beautiful video! you should visit in Fall, late Sep/Oct. it is just magical ❤

I hate the OR…I haaaate it! I rather do bedside than the OR. PACU, Acute Dialysis and Pediatric private duty have been my fav jobs in nursing.

Bravo!really top editing.

Money is the worst reason to become a nurse. It is a very hard job to be a good nurse actually caring for the patient! Believe me I know this as a 40 year nurse and a patient.

I did L&D, thought I’d love it but I got the worst anxiety from it and had to leave.

I wanna start working at OR but no hospitals in NJ will take no OR experience nurse😂

So after a month how much did you actually retain after taxes?

I was a school nurse and loved the job! Pay is on the lower end, great benefits….only downside was government politics, no support from your supervisor and principals who want to tell you how to do your job! I had one during Covid who wanted me risk my medically compromised students health to have them in the same room with someone waiting on the results of a Covid test. Needless to say they were not happy when I said NO and made things very difficult. I chose to go elsewhere😢 I really loved my 👧👦🏽

hi! I'm a sophmore planning to be BSN-RN one day. How many years does it take to be RN? I'm kinda scared about going to college. To be honest, i have no clue how to get in to college. I've been researching about community colleges here in California but i'm confused🥲 one more thing, how do you apply in hospitals after you become RN?

Thank you for sharing! Very informative.

It's true that job hopping every couple years or so will increase your pay over time. As long as you're pursuing advancements in your career, you'll be fine and won't raise red flags to employers.

I have been in case management for 15 years. Definitely VERY stressful 😮
