Ep. 43 : Bedside Nursing Is Mentally & Physically Making Me Sick
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- Hi guys my name is George and this is my 43rd youtube video! Bedside nursing is not for the weak. I have been doing it for 9 years and I know that for a fact. However, it does not mean bedside nurses do not have bruises mentally and physically from their shifts. I have been really struggling with my mental health as of late. This is my latest video and probably my most introspective. Are you ready for it? Hope you enjoy!

Same.
I’ve been working nights for the past year, gained like 25lbs and caught THE BIG C in December & I couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve had 8 hours of sleep in a day. By the grace of God I landed a Monday-Friday 8-4 nurse administrative position that I start in April. I pray that an opportunity comes your way to give you the work/life balance you desire! 🌻
Thank you for the kind words! I really am trying to find a job I love! I am applying everywhere I can! I know something big is in my future! Best of luck to you!
Veteran RN here. I am over it and on my way out. 20 years is enough. Looking to work from home.
That is how I feel and I’ve been doing it for 9 years! I am looking for remote jobs too! It will be a change but I think it is best for my mental health.
@@ThisIsGeorgeMatthew I feel you boo! I hope we both find what we are looking for. I can't let bedside nursing kill me!!!
Yaaassss
Just discovered your channel. I really like your vibe. 💛🙂✨

Awwww thank you! I’m just me and being myself! Nothing more and nothing less!
Old old video but as for your family, just dont tell them as much. Take your thoughts and ideas to your friends and your actions to your family. You can chat with the guys/girls about being stressed, and then tell your mom you (already) got a better job at a new clinic or whatever. Don't let others run your life for you
I am in such a better place now as far as work!
You're not the only one. I thought I wanted to be a nurse and I became a tech last year. I lasted one month. It's so unsafe. After my all day self defense class, and all the stories I've heard of techs and nurses getting attacked, and seeing what the nurses go through, I was done.
Nursing is just not what it used to be. I’m sorry this all happened to you. I am trying to get out of bedside to be honest.
Always trust your intuition and what feels right for you, sometimes it is the hardest thing to do what feels necessary for ourselves. Thank you for sharing your story
Thanks RIA!
The orchids look really beautiful. Keep blooming.
Love your content! I’m a new nurse with barely a year under my belt. I am also really unhappy and slightly depressed working bedside. It’s exhausting. And my mom says the same thing when I say we are overworked 🙄
My goal is to work an office practice position while going to school for a midwifery degree or NP degree and work in another country. I work in oncology now and it’s seems things are only getting worse. Best of luck to You ❤
Oh My God thank you! I really enjoy making UA-cam videos because it is like a getaway from the strains and stresses of being a nurse LOL glad you are enjoying! Nursing is just not what it use to be. After the pandemic it all went downhill I feel. Bedside seems to be the worse of it. Best of luck to you too!
You’re definitely not the only one! I’m on the same boat as you. I started off my career as an RN in nyc during the peak of the pandemic, so you can imagine I got burnt out quickly. I transitioned to working as a travel nurse so I can have some flexibility and time off between contracts. By far the best experience has been in California. Maybe look into local travel nursing so you can take time off here and there. It’s helped me so far, but I’m trying to transition to outpatient.
I was thinking about outpatient as well but I hate the thought of working 5 days instead of 3 12s 😂😅
@@ThisIsGeorgeMatthew Haha idk if I’d like working M-F either! I’m hoping it’ll be a trade off for bedside though to have a better work-life balance 😊
Omg try psyche unit if you are burnt out at medical floor you will love psychiatry nursing its boring but you will have good quality of life
I’ve heard that! People say psych is a different type of stress though because patients can be combative, confused and super non compliant. Psych is it’s own beast!
