My dad was in the hospital last week and,while visiting him,I saw a patient yelling at a nurse and verbally abusing her.Patients and their families need to behave better towards these Healthcare workers.The workers,patients,and patients families are all under stress.A little kindness needs to be shown,
I have worked in the field as well as being a patient and I have to say just because you have a title it doesn't make you good at it! I have great respect for the Florence Nightengale's in the profession but there are plenty of worthless nurses that shouldn't be in nursing. The nurse aides are the one providing the care and they get treated horribly, while the nurses pass the meds and sit at the desk. Yes, there is data input but I personally worked overnight shifts in a specialized unit and witnessed false numbers being written in when at the hourly check time they never went to that patients room. Not all did that but most did. Talking crap was the way the shift was spent. If nurses quit with direct care, what then. When it IS ONLY about the money one should not be in nursing.
You understand that they might not be able to mentally do it? You should see how the nurses treated my terminally ill dad who had two tumors in his head
13 years as a nurse. Got away from beside 3 years in and went into the Case Management side of it. Worked the floor on call still for many years after being in case management. I would never want to go back to bedside nursing. I started off in long term care and now work in an LTAC. I love my role today as a Director of Case Management. Made 30k more when I took on my current role❤️
did you have to go to case management classes prior to taking a CM job? how did you transition from LTC nurse to case management? I work LTC, but don't have a formal CM education. my title is care coordinator. do you have a dm?
@@jomonty6266 no I have never took any CM classes. I was actually approached by a case manager and asked me about coming on board. I jumped at the opportunity. I am not on any other platforms besides you tube. I have email tho.
I started as a new graduate RN in an outpatient primary care clinic, I have been here for almost a year. But I am soo ready to move into a non-patient care area of nursing! Outpatient clinics are less stressful than the bedside, but still a different type of stress and high expectation. I am interested in all of these roles but specifically remote nursing!
Thanks for the list. I worked in the ER and after fighting off psych patients and dealing with ungrateful rude people I quit my job I did a travel assignment to get some extra money before i went back to school. I will take a look into these and see if I can do one before committing to college again.
There’s a home healthcare coder or coder for a company. But, for each a certificate is needed. It can run into a lot of money for the hotel room, some meals and flight. To sit for the test is expensive. Most people I know who wanted to do this didn’t pass the exam, the first time. Also, it’s a very difficult job, as far as computer systems and hours go. Because the days are long and there’s computer issues to deal with. But, there’s no patient care, the hours are Monday through Friday with a couple hours on Sunday to fix your schedule. Otherwise, if you don’t mind chaos on Monday, it’s optional. You get 6 holidays off. But, those may or may not be longer weekends. It depends on the company you work for.
The DON and nursing supervisor at the nursing home where I am a resident end up doing a tremendous amount of direct patient care whenever we are understaffed, especially on holidays. I appreciate their hard work and think their jobs are more demanding than they imagined they would be.
That is in many SNFs but we're not answering call lights and doing any CNA work. At most we're just passing the LVNs meds on top of our already existing duties and that is only if the SNF refuses to use a registry. I would quit if I had to do more than that or if I frequently had to pass meds to 40 patients on top of my already existing duties.
I am now a home health case manager, but this still has patient care. My goal is still to get into insurance, CDI, LNC or possibly into the data side of informatics. Got tired of supporting EHRs for 15 years.
I’m a brand new grad nurse about to start my first nursing job in July. That said I’m an older grad at 49. I’ve been looking at what positions I could do to extend my career once I feel I can’t do bedside nursing any longer. Several of these sounded interesting but probably the one that sounded the most appealing and fulfilling was the nurse coordinator. I would love to be able to help patients and their families coordinate all the things like what you shared with your dad and his liver transplant experience to make it the best and smoothest for them. How do we find out what educational and experience requirements are for all these positions you shared about?
Hey Karin, thanks for watching and for your question! I'm wary to say specific requirements because many would vary, but you could start looking at job postings for specific positions you're interested in and they'll generally show the education and experience they're looking for. Best of luck to you in your new career!
@@lucymugane6392 I would say a lot of time simply spent studying and studying and studying. LOL It's not catchy or sexy, but it's effective. ;) Being super determined helps too. I also had a terrific support system in my husband and kids! Simply couldn't have done it without them! That said, one of my best nursing school friends is just a few years younger than me and is a single mom of 3 kids with no support. She did it too! It really just takes buckling down and being determined and putting in all the zillions of hours of studying it requires. If you're struggling in classes, definitely talk to your professors and go see them in their office hours. Also, try to find some study buddies. My best study group had four of us and we met during anatomy & physiology 1 and went all the way through it all together and all just graduated together! We definitely helped each other out! I also utilized a TON of youtube videos!!! My absolute favorites for nursing content were RegisteredNurseRN and Level Up RN. Also liked some of Simple Nursing's content. I took lots of notes and made my own charts of disease processes, medications, etc. I don't know if any of this will be helpful or useful to you, but I hope something does. Best of luck to you! Stay determined and consistent and you will do it!!!
Hello I'm 47 ....I'm starting nursing school in september....thanks for sharing this give me motivation..at first how did you manage with the poop, blood and vomit?
@@Katherine_Ann I do everything from vitals, to wound changes, to help with treatments etc. I am more hands on with home patients than facility patients but if the caregiver can’t do it, they expect us to do so. We educate caregivers to do it themselves but it’s not always the case and they are expected to give meds to their loved ones. Weekly visits are required for your caseload and then do all the management of their care on the backend with equipment and such. Basically, I’m tired 🤧
My heart belongs to hospice, but I had to resign due to the amount of lifting and transferring patients. I know some hospice nurses who will just not do those things, but that's not me. And I've paid for it.
I've been a nurse for 24 years. Covid robbed me of my lungs. I can no longer do bedside nursing. I have been trying to obtain a remote from home job for the past YEAR. I keep getting turned down. I would LOVE to keep working as a nurse from home. Any advice?
I would possibly try reworking your resume if you are not getting interviews, if you are there may need to be more practice in your interviewing skills.
The same thing happened to me. I became a Drug Safety Associate. I still got to use my license to ensure patients were safe during clinical drug trials. It’s very saturated now though and can have long hours, but if you don’t have a young family that’s not as big of a deal. It was just difficult for me when my toddler was home. Good luck with your search and definitely hire someone to look over your resume! It helps so much!
Hey Alex! It all depends the hospital and the needs! I've made more as a medsurg traveler than other contracts I've seen for ICU or ER. Sometimes its opposite!
Hi America! If you are looking for nurses try looking far into the Pacific Ocean because if you hire three Filipino nurses from the Philippines, a million nurses will follow. So, please do not waste your time scratching your head on where to get nurses because nurses from the Philippines are willing to go to the States given the working visa. So, please give it a try now.
Good question, I would say most employers want to see at least several years of experience, especially bedside experience before you would transition to working from home.
Do you have any videos on legal nursing, I feel there are all these scams, I honestly want to learn an additional skill and get paid more but it's hard to decipher at times. I am here in Atlanta, Ga, what do you suggest? RN BSN CCM
Hey Maribel! Nice to see another Atlantan :). I unfortunately, don't have any videos out on legal nursing. I understand your frustration, you do have to be wary as some opportunities seem too good to be true. If you want to do legal nurse consulting, I'd just recommend looking at job boards for those kinds of positions and see what skills or experience they require.
RN coordinator and/or RN recruiter from the Albany, NY/Saratoga NY area would be good. Have homecare, Hospice and some psychiatric experience. Anyone reading this may send me leads at this time. It's 10-22-23
Funny-since I searched for remote nursing jobs I’m getting tons of nurse UA-cam influencers… would love to hear how much money they’re making doing this.
@@monaeminter1376 Travel nursing is great - depending on what you're looking for. It definitely wasn't sustainable for me long term, but it was great for a season and helped us save money for a house!
Some nurses physically cannot perform bedside duties due to illnesses, disabilities, or simply who just don't want to work bedside. The great thing about nursing is that there are all kinds of positions, and no one nurse is greater or more important than the other. Not every nurse should work bedside.
I love bedside nursing. But after 28 years of transferring and lifting patients, my back is like a leaky roof with a downpour. If I had my choice, I'd still be a hospice nurse!
@@vwgirlbeth Haha! What a great analogy. That does take a toll on your body, taking care of yourself is key to longevity in this career, that's for sure!

Which are the requirements to be a nurse recruiter?

ER is technically an outpatient setting
That it is for charting/insurance purposes, although I do consider it bedside.

My, what if all nurses quit hands on nursing?
Maybe our helathcare system would start listening to nurses and their recommendation of what needs to be fixed?... then implement those changes.
Why would anyone ever consider nursing in the first place if they wanted no direct patient care? Do coding/billing if you want no direct patient care.
