As a nurse who works in LTC, I know how hard this was for you to film. You did a great job maintaining privacy, explaining everything and staying focused.
Just got hired at a skilled nursing facility. It’s my first job and ill be having my orientation next week! I wont lie Im nervous but watching your video made me excited to actually start working. Ill be night shift too so I really hope I will like it. I really wish you could do a video about tips when working in a SNF (what to expect, detailed routine, what to bring with you and stuff like that) 💖💖 also thanks for the video!
I am only 15, but I really want to be a nurse at a nursing home. I love old people, and seeing how well the nurse took care of my grandma it is just made me want to be a nurse even more! I am always helping old people whether it's walking them to there car or Carrying there groceries, I just love it so I'm trying to see what I want to get into and stuff.
Thank for the video. I currently work at the rehab portion at a SNF. I have been there for a couple of years now and have been trying to slowly transition to hospital. I'm just a little lacking in confidence changing from ST/LTC to acute care even though my unit is like a med-surg floor. I need a little confidence lol and I am working on it. I also hate changing jobs but I feel like I need to get that hospital experience to better my nursing skills
I felt the same about my skills when I was working in SNF but I left the hospital in January due to covid. It was getting too much for me. I'm at an acute rehab now. But if you want to challenge yourself, I do recommend trying the hospital. It's really different. Please share if you do! I wish you well.
Magkaiba po sya. Ang mga nasa acute rehab po ay dapat kayang magparticipate sa therapy na 3 hours/days, 5days/week. Normally, ang stay nila ay 2 weeks lang. Sa SNF mas konti ang hours ng therapy at mas mahaba ang stay. Yun po ang main difference at basehan ng pagkakaiba nila.
@@lifeofanightnurse4299 oh okay mam, so mag kaiba din po talaga sila ng facility? Tama po ba ng mas mababa patient ratio sa acute rehab compared to snf?
I am also an rn, but works as a prn at a long term care facility, started a month ago.I will be moving on to a hospital facility soon but will keep it as a second job.
Seriously.....if working as an RN or PSW is so hard.....why not change your career? Do you think social workers film their daily duties? ( I am a retired social worker)....how about Emergency staff.... police officers.....Surgeons......so sick of the ongoing complaining!!!! The reality is LTC staff do their level best to minimize time spent on direct patients n t care! Take it from me....witnessed it myself on a long-term admission geratric floor. 😮😮😮😮😮😮
NICE VIDEO MA'AM nurse ... it's a beautiful facility and i love it where is it?... ma'am is the wok routinary? is there a lists of what to do and i want to work with you and trained me 😊
Would been nice if you stick to one language, is just annoying having to read instead of actually watching what you’re doing, otherwise good presentation of what a night LTC nurse actually does
Thank you for making this video! I applied to a SNF and am trying to learn more about it since my background is inpatient oncology and outpatient infusion. I'm worried about having so many more patients!
@@ashleyz4888 I started on a bone marrow transplant unit and worked with patients with multiple myeloma and other blood cancers who would get stem cell transplants. Some of the patients did really well and it was rewarding to help them through chemotherapy and immunosuppression and see them get well enough to go home. I got a lot of experience with central lines and became chemo certified which can help you make more money as a specialty area in some places. The down side I think is that some patients can go septic pretty quickly and some of the patients who don't do well become really sick and it's sad to see them suffer. I worked at my first job for 4 years and learned a lot. If you're interested in oncology, go for it!
Hi, I just came across your video, this is good! I just noticed your nails, I worked in two hospitals and they don’t allow long, colored nails because it usually will catch a bacteria pretty easily. Anyways, I bet different facilities have different rules.
Your routine is pretty much the same with my routine when I'm doing night shift. And now I'm transitioning to surgical telemetry ward in the hospital. I hope you have your night routine sa hospital rin. :D
It’s only in SNF. But in the hospital need iscan. Mas natetest yung galing sa Med Pass sa Skilled kasi dapat alerto ka kasi walang scanner. I don’t mind both jobs, I also work in SNF and hospital. Never had an issue with meds or lab order.
Hello po ate, kaka pass ko lng po ng nclex ko. Ano po ma suggest as entry job? Matagal na po kc ako walang bedside exp, sa office kasi ako nagwowork. Ok lng po LTC as a start or mas ok sa outpatient clinics muna?
Congratulations on passing the NCLEX! Personally, wala akong experience sa outpatient clinic. Sa LTC naman, you have to set your expectation na usually mataas ang patient- to- nurse ratio doon. Sa panahon ngayon, gusto ko itry ang clinic. I hope this helps. Good luck!
@@lifeofanightnurse4299 hello po.. yan din gusto ko sna muna "clinic"kaso ang hirap humanap dito.dko alam kung paano ako magsisimula. 2009 grad-no hospl exp sa pinas! medyo hesitant ako sa SNF-kaso parang sa mgaun ala ako choice. State:MA thanks for sharing po.
Hey Nimpha, this was a very informative video! I have been struggling to find a hospital job since graduation. How long did you work at the snf before working at the hospital? What unit are you currently working in? I got an offer for a RN NOC position, but I'm a little worried to be on my own. Orientation is 2 weeks. Any tip or advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks :)
blo0m4ever What I like about nursing here is that there's a lot of option, you just have to start somewhere. Don't be worried too much, just ask for more orientation time if you don't feel comfortable or safe, but you'll never really feel ready because orientation is just really short and you won't learn everything in that time span. Where I was at, they give 6 weeks for new grad. And always remember that you'll have your co-worker, just ask questions or for help. What state are you in? I'm in a med/Surg ortho&GI right now
@@lifeofanightnurse4299 I live in california. The DON said I will be on my own after orientation. There will be 54 patients which is quit a lot even though its noc shift. I am still applying to new grad positions. Do you recommend taking this position first for experience until I find a hospital job?
Para din namang hospital ahhh...hmmm so ano nman ang hospital setting? Sis ano ang area of assignment mo sa hosp? Parang masyadong matrabaho p rin. Tsk
Depende kasi yan kung saan syang State nag work at depende sa SNF na pinapasukan nya. Night sya pero 8 hrs shift lang ang duty nya kaya hindi nya napag daanan siguro ang hirap ng evening shift sa skilled nursing facility which is 2pm-10pm or 3-11pm. Dumarating 95% ang mga admission sya evening at night shift. Kung ang start nya ay 2pm, mag kakandarapa sya sa admission na darating ng 4-8pm depende pa kung ilan ang admission nya, at ilang pasyente na assign sa kanya at kung may umabsent pa na nurse sa evening shift, nasa 16-18 pasyente plus 1-2 admission. Kung walang call off nasa 13-15 ang pasyente mo plus 1-2 admissions. Ang isang admission depend sa level of care ay papalo ng 2-3 hrs ang pag admit. Tapos mag papasa kapa ng gamot ,tapos may fall kapa, tapos naka buntot pa ang ibang pamilya, tapos may mga phone call kapa na mga concerns galing sa family. Yan ay kung evening shift ka na 2-10pm. Sa video nya, night shift sya na 11-7am malamang, kaya wala masyadong action dahil nagawa na ng morning & evening shift ang admission. Pero dapat night shift parin ang mag o-audit ng mga charts at orders na ginawa ng morning & evening shift. Nag work din ako sa Skilled nursing facility, morning, evening, & night shift, 8 hrs & 12 hrs naranasan ko yan. Very busy ang 12 hrs NOC, ganun din ang evening shift na 8 hrs. Kaya marami ang nurse na gusto sa hospital mag work dahil bagamat stable ang pasyente sa SNF pero mabigat ang work load. Sa hospital, nasa 5-7 maximum mung pasyente.
Penge naman po ng tips sa nursing skilled facility kasi first time ko po mg work tapos may nakita po ako nsf na 8weeks contract lang dito tapos mag hospital na po ako😔
i am working in a hospital setting.balak ko to go part time sa SNF. advisable po ba mag part time kahit 2 mos palang sa current work (first job since passing nclex)??

an rn at a nursing home is usually a supervisor as the one passing meds is an lvn or lpn.
That's not true. BOTH RN & LPN work on the floor passing meds, however RN is the LPN's supervisor.
Would been nice if you stick to one language, is just annoying having to read instead of actually watching what you’re doing, otherwise good presentation of what a night LTC nurse actually does
You look similar to the sister of Simply Rhaze ... the way you talk and she is also a Nurse in NZ if I am not mistaken... more power
same thoughts!
Thats what i thought too😂😂😂😍
Akala ko nga sya heheh

Do you like your snf....is it hard 2 do? Im thinking about going from nicu to snf
My experience wasn't hard but at the same time my shift was 2200-0600. There was really nothing to do. It might be different if it was different time
@@lifeofanightnurse4299 ok thank you... and did u have 30 patients?
akala ko yung kapatid ni simplyrhaze hehe, magkamumha po kayo, same din na nurse kaya kala ko ikaw yun ❤
awesome. thanks sa pagshare maam ng experience
Hi maam.. I just want to ask.. Why did you choose SNF over Hospital base? Thank u.. Be safe alwayd..
Inoffer po kasi sa akin agad yung work kaya tinanggap ko agad. Okay naman po siya at that time
Thank you much for the effort... I appreciate you videos.... please keep them comming
