I quit my my job as a registered nurse last year ago after almost 11 years in the field. It was not an easy decision, but life is too short to dread going to work everyday. No amount of money can buy real happiness Lol but friends I'm not asking you to resign from your job or abandon your business but be wise!

I was telling my cousin who is also a nurse that she could make a good living as a clinical research associate (CRA) or research nurse for a CRO. I work in the industry, and CRAs with nursing backgrounds are always in demand.
I'm not a nurse, but I work in a hospital. On one hand, I believe that while a hospital is NOT a hotel, patients should be treated with utmost care because the bill is far more expensive than a fine 5-star hotel (without the luxury toiletries). On the other hand, I believe patients who treat hospital staff with disrespect should be dismissed. The disrespect from patients I've seen in my own hospital makes me want to pay for a year's worth of therapy for the nurses.
People should be treated with respect period. Im not treating you special because you are a patient. Im treating their illness. Im healing them. Not stroking thwir ego or here to baby them.
@@snuggisthecute The masochistic attitude of people like Annalisha Fragmin is just astounding and it is keeping nursing and nurses from getting the respect they deserve. These awful nurses like her do not seem to realise that people do not respect people who do not respect themselves.

@Annalisha Fragmin Attitudes like yours are the reason nurses aren’t treated with respect. Respect is given to other professionals. I’m not being a punching bag verbally or physically for anyone. If a patient were to strike me I’d file assault charges. If they talk to me disrespectfully they will be called out on it.
Graduated as an RN over ten years ago. Have had three nurses I know commit suicide within the last few years. The stress is not worth it !! Working on my escape plan. However, nursing does not offer the flexibility the recruitment office at the college leads you to believe.
Hi john, i think nursing has a variety which is great. I have friends that work for a company doing chart audits, some in informatics, infection control etc. Have you thought about escaping to a non patient care role?
Sadly had this realization after graduating nursing school. The healthcare system is so money focused it’s lost sight of employee satisfaction. Then management wonders why the turnover rates are so high lmfao. Everything you said is exactly correct!
I'm a Nurse and it's so unfortunate that this is common issues no matter what setting you work in. They seem to lose sight of quality versus quantity. It's all about numbers instead of actually helping the patients.
this is exactly why a lot of young people getting into the medical field now NEED to prior have medical field job experience, sorry but its necessary imo. i worked in pharmacy before becoming a nurse and i knew from them that big companies don't give a rats ass about their employees. i have worked w so many mds, dos, nps, even nurses and it is their first job...shocking. they really thought the hospital was like Greys anatomy lol sad...a lot of these students are looking to ig and getting into certain fields for the glamour it really is spooky
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I was getting paid $25.50/hr as a graduate nurse on a Neuro/Cardiac PCU unit. I did everything. I was the RN, the CNA at times, pharmacy, registration, kitchen staff, waitress, family member you name it. Singers go on stage and sing a note and get millions. Do better
Ever heard the phrase: Glorified Maid? Yeah. I heard that 25 years ago. As I look back on my so called LPN nursing career I averaged burnout about every 5 years or so…took a break, then went back to nursing. Most nurses actually enjoy that endorphin rush of making another persons health etc better…even with an unnecessarily difficult patient here and there…it’s ALWAYS the administration and/or the pay that nurses complain about. I did much agency nursing to give me some pseudo power over my pay and schedule, but the burnout STILL comes typically within 3 to 5 years for nurses regardless of working at a facility FT or thru an agency. I don’t know what nursing instructors are teaching their students these days, but we were prepared for the concierge of it all in my nursing program 30 years ago…we STILL burn out, so don’t beat yourself up. Congratulations on recognizing that YOUR safety, sanity and financial stability matter. Good luck in your psych career. Psych is fun. No filter and you won’t be bored. By the end of your career you’ll realize what I know: we’re ALL on a psych spectrum. Be well!
yes it doesn't even matter the money you make, burnout will come inevitably most of the time.. and yes, we can be all on the psych spectrum haha ! love this comment!! thanks so much :)
I was an RN for four decades and I retired while I was still in good health. 12 hour shifts and Press Gainey surveys were recipes for burnout. I was a psych nurse for many of those years. Read all that you can and try to find an experienced mentor. Also, pray you don't get a really horrible nurse manager. That is why I left nursing permanently. It takes years of practice to become a knowledgeable psychiatric nurse but I did find it rewarding.
God bless you. You are a beautiful person. You are absolutely right you should be paid at least $50 an hour and you are working twice or three times as hard as you should be having to. Low staffing levels are unacceptable.
Well said!!! 👏👏👏👏 Not getting paid enough for the STRESS and RESPONSIBILITY that is put on us! Plus, not getting adequate PPE *and* NOT getting hazard pay, it’s ridiculous! The patient satisfaction scores are ridiculous, as well! I hate that healthcare is a BUSINESS, not *truly* patient-focused, no, it’s profit-focused.
M barely still a nurse. You did good. The issue for me is pt ratio. U can’t ask me to take care of 5-6 people with the demands patients expect and also the type of illnesses people have. I expect to have maximum 3 pt on medsurg to do my work properly.
You are spitting facts girl! Been at the bedside grind for 30 years, but I also know it's my gift. I'm so glad you found your passion and are moving forward to let it grow. Congratulations!
I’ve lived in the tri-state area my whole life and we make decent money here. I can’t imagine doing this nurse thing for less. In fact, I want more. I don’t care where you live. Nursing doesn’t change.
You're totally right.. Am a bedside here in Nigeria I earn less than $200,a times I have 17 patients on a shift. Yet they expect you to give holistic care to everyone.. This job has messed up with my sleeping pattern and mental health.... They management is never after our health but money they make from patients.. Even while patients relatives assault you on duty no one cares about your health..The pay is not even enough to clear my bills... Reason why a lot of people move overseas to get greener pastures..
I was done after 1 year! I hated 12 hour shifts, every other weekend. I then went to the OR where i work with one patient at a time, 8 hour shifts and no weekends, no holidays. I take call which definitely can bring u into 6 figures without the burn out. I am now looking into NP specializing in cardiovascular. Good luck!
Your video is only a shadow of why most nurses leave. I’m retiring from healthcare for similar reasons, but it’s deeper than that. I’ve been an RN since 2007 and have worked in many fields and modalities. The 2 biggest issues bringing down the industry for me are patient driven care (entitlement mentality) and service excellence to ramp up patient satisfaction. Then there are the politics (from hiring to management to firing to PTO banks), unfair wage increases (in 2010 I made $28/hr; in 2018 I made $25.71/hr). Being “essential” showed how we are viewed. The word “slave” came to mind and wouldn’t leave. And now with the vaccine rollout and corporate bullying tactics, all healthcare workers (slaves) will be forced to receive the vaccine against their wishes if they want to keep their jobs. Those that refuse, even on valid principles, are and will be villainized, which can inhibit their ability to find meaningful work in the future. I could continue, but I gotta get dressed and go to work now lol! Great video. Just make sure you have a solid plan in place before you walk away. God bless
So sad that whatever hospital you worked at is losing someone so passionate about nursing. Unfortunately the way the profession is we are going to be losing a lot more.
Just imagine minimum wage is 16 dollars and hour and some and most nurses make 25 dollars an hour or even 30 after all the stress of schooling stress of exams and the money owed from schooling. Honestly, not worth it. Yes there could be passion for it but when u are unhappy, the there is no passion. Most nurses are unhappy and depressed.
While a lot of Asian mom who’s a nurse wants their kids to take up nursing but after what I have been going through even before pandemic, I did not even encourage them to be a nurse. The stress from the work itself not to mention the patients , families even doctors who gets mad everytime you page them, to think it’s the hospital policy to inform them every alert wether even if you know it’s not a valid alert . Honestly tooooo much . Amd am glad because of social media this things are in the open coz before I used to think that probably this don’t exist in other state or hospitals.
In my bed right now feeling depressed. And I don’t want go back to work tomorrow. Know one understand why I feel so sad because they believe nursing get paid so good.
I’ve decided that after i get my rn i will not be doing bedside nursing the wear and tear emotional and physical stress is not worth it i refuse to be stressed 12h a day my clinicals and prior experience as an lpn is all the experience i need!
My current pay rate is $30/hr as an LPN in a nursing facility, I see other offers going up to 32/$33. I do reside in NY ,however regardless of where you live ,the work is the same .They need to increase those pay rates in other states ,as they don't match the labor .
@@Msladytopahtop I was actually referring to the state that she lives in lol pay rates has increased within a year for LPN's in NY . Just last year I was makin $27, now $30 ...pretty soon i will be switching it up if I don't receive a raise. The ball is in our court , we shouldn't accept under -payment from these employers.
I enjoyed your video so much! You speak to the heart of a lot of us nurses. The disatisfaction in bedside nursing has really reached an all time high. I can relate to why you have found a much more comfotable and satisfying field of nursing to be in. I myself became disillusioned with med surg bedside nursing. I went into psych nursing and really like it. I also have alternated to do school nursing and so rewarding to me. I adore working with school age kids, they try to make me laugh even lying there on the treatment room bed with a compound fracture waiting on EMS.
yes I also learned how disposable we were as nurses ... and it broke me because I saw it but never really understood it until covid.. PPE situation was a whole mess .. no one to advocate for us
I agree. It's gotten so much worst. I'm sorry it's become so difficult. It's easy to burn out when you are pushed to your limited every day or night you work.
Hi Tochi I totally feel you hey bed side nursing is also not my thing the thought of it just gives me anxiety. Iam glad that you found you place in psych I love clinical nursing and starting to like travel too. New Sub Iove you content 🙌
Of course as nurses we want our patient’s needs met and to be satisfied and of course most businesses have goals or plans, but the could not agree with you more about the patient satisfactions (and acting like a customer service rep) aspect of burnout. To be treated like we are just selling cookies is what gets me. We carry hurt, disappointment, and death as we walk and run the halls of the hospital.
God bless you as you prepare to venture into your new found passion.It takes a very special person to see past what our eyes can see and appreciate other people the way you have!
Yes, I feel the same way about the psych population, You go girl! I was even saying police departments need to include mental health professionals when being called to situations where a person clearly has a mental issue to help prevent a situation from turning deadly..too many sad stories...It definitely takes a special person ;) Best Luck in your future!
PSYCH IS HAAAAARD!!! kudos to you. Im in my last semester of nursing school and psych is not for me. I deal with it my my immediate family. I wan to go into pediatrics, once i graduate in May
i work in a doctor's office and i feel like i'm working in a factory, get the patient's in & out. the emphasis is on speed and i feel like a failure for not being able to move fast enough. i'm in the first year of my nursing career and i'm wondering if i made a mistake..
It's sad how this is becoming even more common especially now after COVID. It hit me really hard I posted a video of the start of my nursing journey and I can not believe how I am not enjoying it the way I would.
Also: Watch out for psych unit, I worked inpatient psych--lots of assault risks-it’s not the psych pts--they were the sweetest, it’s the behavioral pts ie Meth, med seekers, that are the meanest and impulsive and got nothing to lose and no consequences if they beat the crap out of you. We had 2 nurses and CNA assaulted and ended up TBI....Be safe!
I was just saying how I am so tired and scarred by nursing and being abused by patients and how I regret sooooo badly becoming a nurse sometimes, having a BSN and private loans and I had the cutest little old lady say ohhhh you can just tell how everyone here loves their job. I have a great ambulatory surgery job and I was just internally chuckling like ha I'm glad I am hiding my burn out. I also love geriatric psyc. Started in a Geriatric ACE unit but the patients beat the crap out of us and no one cared to restrain ever even for nursing safety.
LTC was so much harder than med surg. I don't see a need for more money post COVID especially when the acuity isn't bad. I do love the fact that one can work in different setting.
NP is the flip side of bedside nursing. It is corporation that is running the system they care less of the employee satisfaction. I am sick and tired of being abused my patient, patient's families Physicians and management this is insanity. Nursing is underpaid, over worked and abusive work both mentally and physically. Good luck in your new career.
Nurses are spit on, beaten, punched, kicked, sworn at, physically and verbally assaulted every damn day. And not JUST by the patients, but by the families of the patients as well! They're overworked, often not even allowed their legal lunch breaks, often not having time to even go to the bathroom. If they attempt to pull back even a tiny bit in order to take care of themselves, the hospital ITSELF, or more the CEO's and owners of the hospitals, and sometimes the head nurses, penalize and abuse them for it further. And the pay is often atrocious with some nurses actually having to consider second jobs JUST TO PAY THEIR BILLS! And it's not just in hospitals. It's even WORSE in long-term nursing care facilities. Those places chew nursing staff up and spit them out. The turnover rate for those places in IMMENSE and has caused more burnout and more nurses leaving the field. People are screaming that "This wasn't a problem before the mandates, the mandates are doing this to them!" WRONG!!!! This has been a massive problem LONG before Covid started. This pandemic has simply accelerated and exacerbated the problem, and dragged it out of the shadows of "it's only a few disgruntled individuals" to shine a glaring spotlight on just how BAD it is for nursing staff. Between the low pay, the physical and psychological abuse, and yes even multiple instances of sexual assault from patients as well, unfortunately this is also NOT uncommon, especially in long-term health care facilities, it's no wonder nurses are burning out, fast. Couple that with the massive rise in death, and the fact the ICU's are now overwhelmed? Things have gotten to a breaking point, and these poor men and women are saying "No More". This problem has been festering for several decades, and it's now erupted into a massive spot that no one can ignore, not anymore.
I just graduated nursing school last May and I’m already done with bedside nursing lol. Definitely going the same PMHNP. What school would you suggest online?
Look for online schools that accept your state to do clinicals in. Theres many options like walden, rush u, duke, eku, frontier, so much more.! But make sure you have probably two yrs experience
If a person says they could never work XYZ we should believe them. Psych, pedi I know are NOT my thang and if im uncomfortable I should not throw myself into that until I am. If I ever will be.
Yes, Its not by force. But realize most ppl dont want to work with psych bc of the stigma it holds. As long as ppl uphold that stigma, ppl will never be comfortable working with them...
I've lived in 4 states in the past 15 years. Worked in ICU, psych, med/surge and in the community as well. If you are tired of caring for sick folk then you NEED to reconsider your path. No money will fix your discontent with your career. (I've been paid over 30$/hr at all my positions... often closer to 40. I'm surprised you say 30 is normal with 4 yrs experience) I hope you're ready for the stress and disrespect that only psych can throw your way. Psych patients can often sense your weakest place and will use that to try to get their needs met. If you are leaving bedside nursing to avoid being disrespected or to avoid serving people... psych IS NOT what you're looking for. Please do yourself the favor and go work acute inpatient psych and make sure it is what you think it is. Caring for a bipolar patient with pneumonia on the medical floor is not the same as caring for someone dealing with acute nonmedicated mania or schizophrenia. I wish you luck in your journey.
How do you know my experience? Im curious. And if you didnt hear me in the video i did say psych is my passion? I dont need to list every reason.....Not necessary to explain it either to anyone BUT myself. If you are trying to persuade me to choose a different career path, im sorry youve failed. You cannot deter something from someone when they have figured out what their purpose in life is. Thanks for watching!
@@tochi.uchenna I respect your life experiences and the feeling that psych is your "calling" but the statements you're sharing for a hate of bedside nursing make me uncomfortable. If you're having an angry/frustrated reaction to caring for physically ill folk then you cannot say this won't be the same with psych. If you're irritated with an elderly lady asking repeated questions when they are too sick to get out of bed by THEMSELVES, I guarantee 💯 that you'll be irritated when a physically healthy patient calls you a swear word (repeatedly) and asks you for food. Again, I wish you sincere luck in your journey. I hope this is what you are looking for. Please be the type of nurse that works to see their patients healthy and happy rather than the one lookin for an "easy" position away from the hospital. How is your current job? Where are you working?
@@hyoudiebenoit6480 I know your contract very well. Yours and Dana Farber are the highest paying contracts in the state. The top of your scale is just over $70 an hour for a RN. Even Carney and CHA top out over $65 an hour for RN’s. So, to answer your question, I’m getting those numbers directly from the union contracts.
Old school nurse here I quit I couldn't take it all the politicking the abuse from the administration refused vacations refused time off refused sick leave and all the while the new type of patient coming in does think they're at a hotel does not care for the rest of the residents you're caring for 20 don't get me wrong I love my job or I love the job that I do I'm just completely burnt out on a unit of 20 more than 20 died in a year I don't know if I'll go back the hardest part is lack of teamwork
I can relate to that, Nancy. I once told my nurse manager almost 17 years ago on my day of appraisal that i've been working triple hard in her team run by some 'sitting-around-doing-nothing-not-pulling-their-weight' nurses & auxiliaries alike to make it appear like it's a teamwork and yet she's just not getting it simply because she's playing deaf ears all along. I was not even being rewarded for all the hard work that I've done in the ward not to mention the kick in the teeth of being poorly paid for doing this nursing job over the years. I, too, was refused vacations, time off, sick leave and all else due to the obvious politics in the ward. I recalled the time when my dad was on his own at home severely ill til the day he passed away. I was still working and looking after patients in the hospital other than spending quality time with my dad who's my own flesh & blood, because i was refused to have some time off and the next thing i knew was- i was standing in great sorrow while viewing my lifeless dad through the glass window in his coffin at his funeral with so much tears welling up in my eyes too late to say my last goodbye to him which is utterly deplorable! Don't get me wrong, Nancy, contrary to what you've said- 'i just so hate this job!' I am still hoping that, one day, karma will work its way in my favor for every single teardrop that I've wasted at the time of my dad's passing.
@@naimuds8269 I'm so sorry for your loss. Being denied days off to be with loved ones, when they needed you the most, is heartbreaking. I hope you don't blame yourself and any sense of guilt has lessened or gone. Take care💗.
No money in this world can pay you th stress you endure during only one shift in hospital. Dealing not only with sick people thats the least problem, but so many disrespectful chiefs, head nurses, staff, rude patients for no reasons. And they ,,have to be always right" and the nurse is the one in ,,wrong".That is fucken crazy. By time you lose your self respect and your mental health is been affected. Like you re nurse and shut up and handle anything, whether it is disrespect , insult rage its.
@@tochi.uchenna I got you. Everyone deserves respect in any job and especially nursing. We have one life and we can not let that continuing to happen. If they dont respect us and treat us with dignity in every way, they dont deserve u us. And that is why they will.always have shortage of nurses.
May I ask if you are doing travel nursing now? I am going to start my first job as a bedside nurse soon and I am getting worried hearing of people's reports :( I guess I will assess how I feel in 1 year when I have a year of experience.
Hi! Yea i am doing local travel nursing now. Suggest you get two years experience before you travel bc thats what most hospitals want and youll be more comfortable after the 2 year mark. We are just burnt out. What unit will you be working on?
@@tochi.uchenna I will be on an acute medicine unit similar to Med Surg but the patients are a bit sicker I think! I can tell you have a good heart and I wish you well! I do wish healthcare was less of a business and more focused on the patients. It is discouraging to think we have to constantly look out for ourselves because organizations may not have our best interest in mind.
Please do some inpatient psych work. Please understand that you may be attacked by patients. Understand many psych patients are admitted involuntary, so it may be hard to develop a rapport. Please don't do it just the money.
Its not for the money. Like i said in my video, it is my passion for several reasons.. im hoping to do outpatient psych instead of inpatient... i want nothing to do with hospitals anymore..
Tochi Uchenna do you know how smooth the transition would be for someone that is not a citizen but has 2 years nursing experience working in their home country to transition to travel nursing in America
Ummm i actually dont know how it is with nursing in other countries… it would probably be easier because MAYBE the US has more resources than other places but who knows… and i believe there is like an entrance/competency exam if youre coming from another country… depending on if the US accepts their license. But one could get used to certain meds and the metrics but other than that idk.. it shouldnt be hard because they’ll get orientation…
You just aren't cut out for nursing deary. You have no repaect for the profession. You're complacent and could reach for higher acuity units but chose not to
You must know nothing about the healthcare system. Most hospitals are so saturated with nurses and if EVERYONE wants to get into a specialty so obviously that can't happen - it's simple math. The hospital I started at was like this - I was with a preceptor in med-surg who said she had been trying to get a position in ICU for 7 years!!!!! Yes 7 years. She said even in other hospitals in the area it is the same. I know it to be the same throughout my entire state (Ohio) as I have friends in the two largest metro areas in Ohio. The general consensus is until RNs retire or die, you're not getting into a specialty.
They have the right to quite anytime they want. Nursing school is to hard for someone to finish nursing school and unhappy. You do not know how many people who do not get to make it out of nursing school. All you see is the nurse, but you do not know how they went through.
Lol, you most definitely are not a nurse. If you so you would understand the root of our frustration. Heck, I want to quit nursing too. It’s not for me at all
Girl bye! Nurses become nurses because they WANT to HELP others! No one is getting into it for the money because guess what? We don’t get paid enough for the abuse, disrespect, and risks that we experience while working! All I want to do is come into work, take care of my patients safely, and help them have a good hospital visit. Instead I’m getting berated by patients, threatened by management, disrespected by other staff and left holding the bag if pharmacy, the doc, respiratory or anyone else makes a mistake but I’d didn’t catch it. $25/hr for a license that you broke your back far and could less in an instance is NOT worth it. Nurses are human and deserve to be treated well like other humans especially the patients!
@@Divestedpinoyasawa Don't worry about me being a Nurse . I work along side with yall and you not hard working like you think.

I don’t know what nursing instructors are teaching their students these days, but we were prepared for the concierge of it all in my nursing program 30 years ago…we STILL burn out, so don’t beat yourself up.
Congratulations on recognizing that YOUR safety, sanity and financial stability matter. Good luck in your psych career. Psych is fun. No filter and you won’t be bored. By the end of your career you’ll realize what I know: we’re ALL on a psych spectrum. Be well!
yes it doesn't even matter the money you make, burnout will come inevitably most of the time.. and yes, we can be all on the psych spectrum haha ! love this comment!! thanks so much :)
I was an RN for four decades and I retired while I was still in good health. 12 hour shifts and Press Gainey surveys were recipes for burnout. I was a psych nurse for many of those years. Read all that you can and try to find an experienced mentor. Also, pray you don't get a really horrible nurse manager. That is why I left nursing permanently. It takes years of practice to become a knowledgeable psychiatric nurse but I did find it rewarding.
God bless you. You are a beautiful person. You are absolutely right you should be paid at least $50 an hour and you are working twice or three times as hard as you should be having to. Low staffing levels are unacceptable.
Well said!!! 👏👏👏👏 Not getting paid enough for the STRESS and RESPONSIBILITY that is put on us! Plus, not getting adequate PPE *and* NOT getting hazard pay, it’s ridiculous! The patient satisfaction scores are ridiculous, as well! I hate that healthcare is a BUSINESS, not *truly* patient-focused, no, it’s profit-focused.
M barely still a nurse. You did good. The issue for me is pt ratio. U can’t ask me to take care of 5-6 people with the demands patients expect and also the type of illnesses people have. I expect to have maximum 3 pt on medsurg to do my work properly.
Why should we expect $30 hr for what we do.Got sick of it became a travel nurse. We need to put ourselves 1st.
Yup! Travel nurses make great pay depending on the contract. Glad i got into it. Will never be a staff nurse again
You are spitting facts girl! Been at the bedside grind for 30 years, but I also know it's my gift. I'm so glad you found your passion and are moving forward to let it grow. Congratulations!
Yes girl, we deserve more. Med surg is not easy at all
@ ALL
Thank you , for talking straight to the point. So many people are mumbling just for saying why they quitting . Everything you mentioned, are facts.
I’m so sick of working bedside. I literally would almost rather do anything else smh
I’ve lived in the tri-state area my whole life and we make decent money here. I can’t imagine doing this nurse thing for less. In fact, I want more. I don’t care where you live. Nursing doesn’t change.
I quit tooooo. Best thing I did in my life.
You're totally right..
Am a bedside here in Nigeria I earn less than $200,a times I have 17 patients on a shift. Yet they expect you to give holistic care to everyone.. This job has messed up with my sleeping pattern and mental health.... They management is never after our health but money they make from patients.. Even while patients relatives assault you on duty no one cares about your health..The pay is not even enough to clear my bills... Reason why a lot of people move overseas to get greener pastures..
It’s the same trend everywhere. From Nigeria to the states, and the UK it’s all about the money first and foremost
I was done after 1 year! I hated 12 hour shifts, every other weekend. I then went to the OR where i work with one patient at a time, 8 hour shifts and no weekends, no holidays. I take call which definitely can bring u into 6 figures without the burn out.
I am now looking into NP specializing in cardiovascular. Good luck!
Nice!!! That sounds like a dream! And thanks. Good luck with u too.
😭
Your video is only a shadow of why most nurses leave. I’m retiring from healthcare for similar reasons, but it’s deeper than that. I’ve been an RN since 2007 and have worked in many fields and modalities. The 2 biggest issues bringing down the industry for me are patient driven care (entitlement mentality) and service excellence to ramp up patient satisfaction. Then there are the politics (from hiring to management to firing to PTO banks), unfair wage increases (in 2010 I made $28/hr; in 2018 I made $25.71/hr). Being “essential” showed how we are viewed. The word “slave” came to mind and wouldn’t leave. And now with the vaccine rollout and corporate bullying tactics, all healthcare workers (slaves) will be forced to receive the vaccine against their wishes if they want to keep their jobs. Those that refuse, even on valid principles, are and will be villainized, which can inhibit their ability to find meaningful work in the future. I could continue, but I gotta get dressed and go to work now lol! Great video. Just make sure you have a solid plan in place before you walk away. God bless
So sad that whatever hospital you worked at is losing someone so passionate about nursing. Unfortunately the way the profession is we are going to be losing a lot more.
Just imagine minimum wage is 16 dollars and hour and some and most nurses make 25 dollars an hour or even 30 after all the stress of schooling stress of exams and the money owed from schooling. Honestly, not worth it. Yes there could be passion for it but when u are unhappy, the there is no passion. Most nurses are unhappy and depressed.
While a lot of Asian mom who’s a nurse wants their kids to take up nursing but after what I have been going through even before pandemic, I did not even encourage them to be a nurse. The stress from the work itself not to mention the patients , families even doctors who gets mad everytime you page them, to think it’s the hospital policy to inform them every alert wether even if you know it’s not a valid alert . Honestly tooooo much . Amd am glad because of social media this things are in the open coz before I used to think that probably this don’t exist in other state or hospitals.
Yes, its too much stress and too sad that a lot of us are going through the exact same problem.
In my bed right now feeling depressed. And I don’t want go back to work tomorrow. Know one understand why I feel so sad because they believe nursing get paid so good.
I’ve been there. Nursing will not make you a millionaire so the money is not all that good . It’s not worth your sanity
Kudos to you for finding your passion you have such a calming demeanor I'm sure your patients will appreciate your patience with them!
Thank God you finally discovered the part that gives you joy... your headline made in thinking....God guide you dear
I’ve decided that after i get my rn i will not be doing bedside nursing the wear and tear emotional and physical stress is not worth it i refuse to be stressed 12h a day my clinicals and prior experience as an lpn is all the experience i need!
so what will u do?
Great video. We need to be valued more. We give more to our patients than our own family
My current pay rate is $30/hr as an LPN in a nursing facility, I see other offers going up to 32/$33. I do reside in NY ,however regardless of where you live ,the work is the same .They need to increase those pay rates in other states ,as they don't match the labor .
I agree. I live in NYC. There needs to be a lot of changes to pay rates here.
@@Msladytopahtop I was actually referring to the state that she lives in lol pay rates has increased within a year for LPN's in NY . Just last year I was makin $27, now $30 ...pretty soon i will be switching it up if I don't receive a raise. The ball is in our court , we shouldn't accept under -payment from these employers.
I enjoyed your video so much! You speak to the heart of a lot of us nurses. The disatisfaction in bedside nursing has really reached an all time high. I can relate to why you have found a much more comfotable and satisfying field of nursing to be in. I myself became disillusioned with med surg bedside nursing. I went into psych nursing and really like it. I also have alternated to do school nursing and so rewarding to me. I adore working with school age kids, they try to make me laugh even lying there on the treatment room bed with a compound fracture waiting on EMS.
yes I also learned how disposable we were as nurses ... and it broke me because I saw it but never really understood it until covid.. PPE situation was a whole mess .. no one to advocate for us
Yup. Covid brought a huge ass light on what we go through. Actually sad to be honest
I agree. It's gotten so much worst. I'm sorry it's become so difficult. It's easy to burn out when you are pushed to your limited every day or night you work.
I think you made the right choice for you....Happiness in the future....
VERY SWEET OF YOU, THANKS
Hi Tochi
I totally feel you hey bed side nursing is also not my thing the thought of it just gives me anxiety. Iam glad that you found you place in psych I love clinical nursing and starting to like travel too. New Sub Iove you content 🙌
Of course as nurses we want our patient’s needs met and to be satisfied and of course most businesses have goals or plans, but the could not agree with you more about the patient satisfactions (and acting like a customer service rep) aspect of burnout. To be treated like we are just selling cookies is what gets me. We carry hurt, disappointment, and death as we walk and run the halls of the hospital.
God bless you as you prepare to venture into your new found passion.It takes a very special person to see past what our eyes can see and appreciate other people the way you have!
Yes, I feel the same way about the psych population, You go girl! I was even saying police departments need to include mental health professionals when being called to situations where a person clearly has a mental issue to help prevent a situation from turning deadly..too many sad stories...It definitely takes a special person ;) Best Luck in your future!
Awwwww Tochi yessssss, Congratulations 🎊 👏🏽 💐 🥳 🙌🏽 💖
Thx boo❤️❤️
Been there, done that. When they are well enough to complain, then they are well enough to go home.
Im ready to quit bedside too!
Me three
Me four
PSYCH IS HAAAAARD!!! kudos to you. Im in my last semester of nursing school and psych is not for me. I deal with it my my immediate family.
I wan to go into pediatrics, once i graduate in May
You can provide great customer service without tolerating bs. I do it all the time RN
i work in a doctor's office and i feel like i'm working in a factory, get the patient's in & out. the emphasis is on speed and i feel like a failure for not being able to move fast enough. i'm in the first year of my nursing career and i'm wondering if i made a mistake..
😭
It's sad how this is becoming even more common especially now after COVID. It hit me really hard I posted a video of the start of my nursing journey and I can not believe how I am not enjoying it the way I would.
Im sorry youre going through it as well... i hope you find some happiness soon.
Glad you have found your niche congrats girl. Iam 9yrs in general adult nursing still looking for my niche. 🙏🙏
You're beautiful 😍 finally some natural beauty
The skin glow is on fleek. But I feel her pain. I worked as a CNA for 3 years and as an LPN for 7 years. Left in 1994 and haven't looked back.
@@janiceharris5475 girl i left bedside nursing a year after I tried it and I went to do office nursing its so much better. Bedside nursing is a killer
Good for you girl❤ thank you so much
"We are not Chick-fil-A as well." 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Bedside nursing has become an Avenue for people to legally abuse nurses.
You are so right! Wishing you only the best!
Also: Watch out for psych unit, I worked inpatient psych--lots of assault risks-it’s not the psych pts--they were the sweetest, it’s the behavioral pts ie Meth, med seekers, that are the meanest and impulsive and got nothing to lose and no consequences if they beat the crap out of you. We had 2 nurses and CNA assaulted and ended up TBI....Be safe!
I was just saying how I am so tired and scarred by nursing and being abused by patients and how I regret sooooo badly becoming a nurse sometimes, having a BSN and private loans and I had the cutest little old lady say ohhhh you can just tell how everyone here loves their job. I have a great ambulatory surgery job and I was just internally chuckling like ha I'm glad I am hiding my burn out.
I also love geriatric psyc. Started in a Geriatric ACE unit but the patients beat the crap out of us and no one cared to restrain ever even for nursing safety.
Not sure where you live. Med/Surg is no joke!!! I live in Canada and get paid almost $50/hr and it still is not enough for what you do.
Shoo! Sometimes im like not even $50 is cuttin it!!but its way better than 30!! Hell even 25$!!
How long have u been a nurse
@@tyemeccaalkebulan4425 20 years
Thanks for sharing, its very toucing. You are such a beautiful soul. God bless you.
LTC was so much harder than med surg. I don't see a need for more money post COVID especially when the acuity isn't bad. I do love the fact that one can work in different setting.
NP is the flip side of bedside nursing. It is corporation that is running the system they care less of the employee satisfaction. I am sick and tired of being abused my patient, patient's families Physicians and management this is insanity. Nursing is underpaid, over worked and abusive work both mentally and physically. Good luck in your new career.
Yep I’m done.
Lmaooo!!!! Join the gang girl... we are alllll over it smh
nursing pay depends on where you live and of course specialty....sad to say but gotta move or become a travel nurse
Exactly-i literally move to different units/hospitals/travel every year!
This is soo true. I am over nursing.
Good luck in physce. Its really dangerous and several nurses male and female at are hospital got seriously hurt by them physically
Sooooo trueeee
Thank you for sharing your story.
Spill all the tea!!!
Nurses are spit on, beaten, punched, kicked, sworn at, physically and verbally assaulted every damn day. And not JUST by the patients, but by the families of the patients as well! They're overworked, often not even allowed their legal lunch breaks, often not having time to even go to the bathroom. If they attempt to pull back even a tiny bit in order to take care of themselves, the hospital ITSELF, or more the CEO's and owners of the hospitals, and sometimes the head nurses, penalize and abuse them for it further. And the pay is often atrocious with some nurses actually having to consider second jobs JUST TO PAY THEIR BILLS! And it's not just in hospitals. It's even WORSE in long-term nursing care facilities. Those places chew nursing staff up and spit them out. The turnover rate for those places in IMMENSE and has caused more burnout and more nurses leaving the field.
People are screaming that "This wasn't a problem before the mandates, the mandates are doing this to them!"
WRONG!!!!
This has been a massive problem LONG before Covid started. This pandemic has simply accelerated and exacerbated the problem, and dragged it out of the shadows of "it's only a few disgruntled individuals" to shine a glaring spotlight on just how BAD it is for nursing staff. Between the low pay, the physical and psychological abuse, and yes even multiple instances of sexual assault from patients as well, unfortunately this is also NOT uncommon, especially in long-term health care facilities, it's no wonder nurses are burning out, fast. Couple that with the massive rise in death, and the fact the ICU's are now overwhelmed? Things have gotten to a breaking point, and these poor men and women are saying "No More".
This problem has been festering for several decades, and it's now erupted into a massive spot that no one can ignore, not anymore.
I just graduated nursing school last May and I’m already done with bedside nursing lol. Definitely going the same PMHNP. What school would you suggest online?
Look for online schools that accept your state to do clinicals in. Theres many options like walden, rush u, duke, eku, frontier, so much more.! But make sure you have probably two yrs experience
Lol...best of luck you can do it
Good explanation...I get it!
Still active in 2022. I am taking a break in nursing again for 6 months I got my Cdl. I got burnout and depression because of nursing
What is cdl?

@@tochi.uchenna Commercial Driver's License hahah
If a person says they could never work XYZ we should believe them. Psych, pedi I know are NOT my thang and if im uncomfortable I should not throw myself into that until I am. If I ever will be.
Yes, Its not by force. But realize most ppl dont want to work with psych bc of the stigma it holds. As long as ppl uphold that stigma, ppl will never be comfortable working with them...
I've lived in 4 states in the past 15 years. Worked in ICU, psych, med/surge and in the community as well. If you are tired of caring for sick folk then you NEED to reconsider your path. No money will fix your discontent with your career. (I've been paid over 30$/hr at all my positions... often closer to 40. I'm surprised you say 30 is normal with 4 yrs experience)
I hope you're ready for the stress and disrespect that only psych can throw your way. Psych patients can often sense your weakest place and will use that to try to get their needs met. If you are leaving bedside nursing to avoid being disrespected or to avoid serving people... psych IS NOT what you're looking for.
Please do yourself the favor and go work acute inpatient psych and make sure it is what you think it is. Caring for a bipolar patient with pneumonia on the medical floor is not the same as caring for someone dealing with acute nonmedicated mania or schizophrenia.
I wish you luck in your journey.
How do you know my experience? Im curious. And if you didnt hear me in the video i did say psych is my passion? I dont need to list every reason.....Not necessary to explain it either to anyone BUT myself. If you are trying to persuade me to choose a different career path, im sorry youve failed. You cannot deter something from someone when they have figured out what their purpose in life is. Thanks for watching!
You clearly didn't watch the video.
@@tochi.uchenna I respect your life experiences and the feeling that psych is your "calling" but the statements you're sharing for a hate of bedside nursing make me uncomfortable. If you're having an angry/frustrated reaction to caring for physically ill folk then you cannot say this won't be the same with psych. If you're irritated with an elderly lady asking repeated questions when they are too sick to get out of bed by THEMSELVES, I guarantee 💯 that you'll be irritated when a physically healthy patient calls you a swear word (repeatedly) and asks you for food.
Again, I wish you sincere luck in your journey. I hope this is what you are looking for. Please be the type of nurse that works to see their patients healthy and happy rather than the one lookin for an "easy" position away from the hospital.
How is your current job? Where are you working?
Curious where you live - nursing here (Eastern Massachusetts) starts at $35 an hour and most hospitals top at around $65 ish. Some higher, some lower.
I live in the dc/maryland/Virginia area. Some hospitals start out at $28 an hour... but never reach $65 for floor/ed/icu nurses...
I work at the Brigham and I don’t even get pay 35 an hour. I don’t know where you get that 65ish.
@@hyoudiebenoit6480 I know your contract very well. Yours and Dana Farber are the highest paying contracts in the state. The top of your scale is just over $70 an hour for a RN. Even Carney and CHA top out over $65 an hour for RN’s.
So, to answer your question, I’m getting those numbers directly from the union contracts.
emphasis on customer service!!!!!! this isnt a hotel.
Thanks for sharing..really good video
I feel you.
Girl you should stick to UA-cam ❤️
Lmao i wish! But ty❤️❤️New videos coming soon lol!
Been there done that. No fun.
Is this now a Video Genre in UA-cam, Nurses Quiting.
😂😂 if hospitals keep treating nurses like that then it deff will become a new genre!
The shit show is real! Here in Michigan, we have literally one RN for 36 patients on day shift and one RN for over 50 patients on night shift!
@@johnberry2877 In the hospital setting?? 😳😳
Old school nurse here I quit I couldn't take it all the politicking the abuse from the administration refused vacations refused time off refused sick leave and all the while the new type of patient coming in does think they're at a hotel does not care for the rest of the residents you're caring for 20 don't get me wrong I love my job or I love the job that I do I'm just completely burnt out on a unit of 20 more than 20 died in a year I don't know if I'll go back the hardest part is lack of teamwork
Yes. The refusal of everything!! I dont get it. Smh dont they know happy nurses mean better care
I can relate to that, Nancy. I once told my nurse manager almost 17 years ago on my day of appraisal that i've been working triple hard in her team run by some 'sitting-around-doing-nothing-not-pulling-their-weight' nurses & auxiliaries alike to make it appear like it's a teamwork and yet she's just not getting it simply because she's playing deaf ears all along. I was not even being rewarded for all the hard work that I've done in the ward not to mention the kick in the teeth of being poorly paid for doing this nursing job over the years. I, too, was refused vacations, time off, sick leave and all else due to the obvious politics in the ward. I recalled the time when my dad was on his own at home severely ill til the day he passed away. I was still working and looking after patients in the hospital other than spending quality time with my dad who's my own flesh & blood, because i was refused to have some time off and the next thing i knew was- i was standing in great sorrow while viewing my lifeless dad through the glass window in his coffin at his funeral with so much tears welling up in my eyes too late to say my last goodbye to him which is utterly deplorable! Don't get me wrong, Nancy, contrary to what you've said- 'i just so hate this job!' I am still hoping that, one day, karma will work its way in my favor for every single teardrop that I've wasted at the time of my dad's passing.
@@naimuds8269 I'm so sorry for your loss. Being denied days off to be with loved ones, when they needed you the most, is heartbreaking. I hope you don't blame yourself and any sense of guilt has lessened or gone. Take care💗.
Another great video
Sounds like education 🥲
No money in this world can pay you th stress you endure during only one shift in hospital. Dealing not only with sick people thats the least problem, but so many disrespectful chiefs, head nurses, staff, rude patients for no reasons. And they ,,have to be always right" and the nurse is the one in ,,wrong".That is fucken crazy. By time you lose your self respect and your mental health is been affected. Like you re nurse and shut up and handle anything, whether it is disrespect , insult rage its.
Omg this!!!!!!!! I cannot handle the disrespect from anyone anymore… i just cant. I’m 100% burn out. :(
@@tochi.uchenna I got you. Everyone deserves respect in any job and especially nursing. We have one life and we can not let that continuing to happen. If they dont respect us and treat us with dignity in every way, they dont deserve u us. And that is why they will.always have shortage of nurses.
Oh you gotta move
I looked at your channel and youre still a nurse lol
Lmao i am… im still in school to get my NP. Lol
May I ask if you are doing travel nursing now? I am going to start my first job as a bedside nurse soon and I am getting worried hearing of people's reports :( I guess I will assess how I feel in 1 year when I have a year of experience.
Hi! Yea i am doing local travel nursing now. Suggest you get two years experience before you travel bc thats what most hospitals want and youll be more comfortable after the 2 year mark. We are just burnt out. What unit will you be working on?
@@tochi.uchenna I will be on an acute medicine unit similar to Med Surg but the patients are a bit sicker I think! I can tell you have a good heart and I wish you well! I do wish healthcare was less of a business and more focused on the patients. It is discouraging to think we have to constantly look out for ourselves because organizations may not have our best interest in mind.
Please do some inpatient psych work. Please understand that you may be attacked by patients. Understand many psych patients are admitted involuntary, so it may be hard to develop a rapport. Please don't do it just the money.
Its not for the money. Like i said in my video, it is my passion for several reasons.. im hoping to do outpatient psych instead of inpatient... i want nothing to do with hospitals anymore..
How long did it take you to transition from bedside nursing to travel nursing
2 years
Tochi Uchenna do you know how smooth the transition would be for someone that is not a citizen but has 2 years nursing experience working in their home country to transition to travel nursing in America
Ummm i actually dont know how it is with nursing in other countries… it would probably be easier because MAYBE the US has more resources than other places but who knows… and i believe there is like an entrance/competency exam if youre coming from another country… depending on if the US accepts their license. But one could get used to certain meds and the metrics but other than that idk.. it shouldnt be hard because they’ll get orientation…
I am quitting too
I dont understand Americans talking about low pay in nursing, pls Google UK nurses pay
I work in america.... therefore im talking about american pay. Thx for watching
Y’all should be asking for more too.. I’ve seen the pay for nurses in the UK :/
🙄
Major whiner .. better that you left your supervisor probably celebrated when you left
You just aren't cut out for nursing deary. You have no repaect for the profession. You're complacent and could reach for higher acuity units but chose not to
I dont care for higher acuity units when thats not my passion, deary. Im far from complacent. thx for watching!
You must know nothing about the healthcare system. Most hospitals are so saturated with nurses and if EVERYONE wants to get into a specialty so obviously that can't happen - it's simple math. The hospital I started at was like this - I was with a preceptor in med-surg who said she had been trying to get a position in ICU for 7 years!!!!! Yes 7 years. She said even in other hospitals in the area it is the same. I know it to be the same throughout my entire state (Ohio) as I have friends in the two largest metro areas in Ohio. The general consensus is until RNs retire or die, you're not getting into a specialty.
I'm so tired of hearing about nurses quitting, they should have never joined nursing school.
Lmao why watch a nursing video on it then? Thx fr watching!
They have the right to quite anytime they want. Nursing school is to hard for someone to finish nursing school and unhappy. You do not know how many people who do not get to make it out of nursing school. All you see is the nurse, but you do not know how they went through.
Lol, you most definitely are not a nurse. If you so you would understand the root of our frustration. Heck, I want to quit nursing too. It’s not for me at all
You are not told the realities of the job in nursing school. You are taught the ideals of nursing which don’t exist on the job.
Girl bye! Nurses become nurses because they WANT to HELP others! No one is getting into it for the money because guess what? We don’t get paid enough for the abuse, disrespect, and risks that we experience while working! All I want to do is come into work, take care of my patients safely, and help them have a good hospital visit. Instead I’m getting berated by patients, threatened by management, disrespected by other staff and left holding the bag if pharmacy, the doc, respiratory or anyone else makes a mistake but I’d didn’t catch it. $25/hr for a license that you broke your back far and could less in an instance is NOT worth it. Nurses are human and deserve to be treated well like other humans especially the patients!
You Nurses make enough. You want to be paid more than the doctor. Good just go.
