I’m a new nursing grad and one thing my mom told me is DO NOT SHOW THESE JOBS LOYALTY! I will not break my back and risk my life for a check. My pay is more than what I need for my lifestyle and living with my mom also. There are too many people who want to “chase the bag” but their health is terrible and don’t want to miss out on work. Take care of yourself before anyone else.
This is 1 of the reasons y I don't play with these jobs. They only care about staffing, not their staff. Ur health is not a priority 2 them. They'll b more upset that u called out with a genuine sickness than they r about u actually being sick. I thank God He sent the endocrinologist 2 insist on seeing u & that u r still here.
I want to command your healthcare providers for showing great interest in your care. You cannot find too many Specialists offering their personal mobile numbers. Remember this. Heath is wealth and knowledge creates wisdom. To all the nurses and student nurses KNOW YOUR WORTH.
@@zainabinti5170 That's a totally different situation. On my off days, I don't respond 2 calls from work. Doing OT is not necessarily about greed. 4 some, it's out of necessity. Nursing overall doesn't pay enough 2 b greedy.
Yes, nursing is definitely stressful & was an overrated career of choice for ME. The last time I worked in nursing at a hospital was in May 2006. after a traumatic back injury while assisting a patient, I was terminated for not being able to do my duties as a nurse ( imagine that). At the time, the hospital in which I worked, stopped accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield for a time. Our hours & pay were cut TREMENDOUSLY because there was barely any patients on the floors. It was unimaginable how many people had BCBS insurance. I found my termination to be a BLESSING in disguise because although I made more money than I ever made, I was heinously stressed-out. In my household was my husband & 2 young children. I also was taking care of a sick & elderly mother whom lived 45 minutes away, with no assistance from my 4 siblings. I was diagnosed with kidney cancer of 1 kidney in 2019. It was removed & I’ve been CANCER-free ever since by GOD’s Grace & Mercy that has kept me SANE, healthy & stress-free 😇🙏🏽.
I was experiencing some chest discomfort at work-no other obvious symptoms, but a co-worker asked me what was going on and I told him what was up and told him if I was still feeling like this after my shift, I would go to the ER. His words snapped me into reality He said the place we were working would have an ad in the paper for my job before my obituary could be published Hahaha I gave hand-off report and headed to ER. I ended up with an emergency CABG x3. I’m grateful for his comments to this day. Lol
Ladies, Please stop with this working yourself into poor health. I have been a nurse for 30 years. I observed the older nurses when I started out . They were always complaing of back pain. 3 of the young nurses and an aide on the floor I worked as a new nurse had miscarriages. I don't lift anyone above 20 lbs. I work in Pediatrics.. I take 2 weeks vacations every 3 months. I spent less so I have more and invest my money. The trick is to work smart and not chase the dollar or you will be in an early grave or living in a 90 years old body when you are not 90.
I concur. Been a nurse for 30 years also. 3 back injuries. Yeah I used to work like that for decades until I was so sick so no I don’t even work but on call now and I try to only work about 8-10 days a month.
@@KendraRN Good to see you are doing much better. I knew someone with back pain and it turned out to be a blood clot in lung. Never ignore pain and go to ER ASAP.
I used to work per diem at one hospital. I remember one time the manager signed me up for five 12 hour shifts. I went to the manager & told her, please do not put me on for 5 days in a row. I can only 3 shifts for that week. I'm proud of myself because my coworkers just complained but never spoke to the manager.
@@BlatantDisregardForYourFeels Extremely abusive. It tells me that they don't care about us! Period. I just didn't understand why coworkers wouldn't speak up for themselves!
….., ……. May this message richly bless you and yours as it has bless me. Many profess believers of Jesus Christ believe that the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy was nailed to the cross and that we no longer have to keep it, while still embracing the other nine commands. Do you believe this? Ask yourself this question: which one or ones of the Ten Commandments do Jesus wants us to keep and obey? The Sabbath command is not only to be kept but it is to be calculated by the Time/calendar God ordained in the beginning of creation, Genesis 1:14. The sun, moon and stars are God’s True Time/calendar not that famous Gregorian calendar hanging on our walls in our houses. This split in God’s law must be repaired!! All of God’s laws, statutes, judgments and testimonies are just and true! We must do things God’s way or else we will be worshipping him in vain. There will be no good reward. Today, there are Sabbath laws/blue laws/Sunday laws on government books. Friday is not the true Sabbath. Saturday is not the true Sabbath. Sunday is not the true Sabbath, etc., because they are calculated by man’s time/calendars. The Gregorian Calendar is not true time. God’s months start with the new moon day. Read 1 Samuel 20. The Gregorian calendar do not start its months with the new moon day. So then, how can Saturday, Sunday, etc. be the true Sabbath? The beast in Daniel 7:25 only thought to change time on paper. For he could not truly change time because it sits in the heavens where no man can tamper with it. God’s months reset every month. Man got their concept from this, for example, “the first and fourth Saturday in April”, “the “first and fourth Saturday in May”, etc. A good example of this can be found in the Word Of God, Luke 6:1. What “second” Sabbath is this? Is it the “second” Sabbath after the creation of Adam and Eve? No!, it was the “second” Sabbath for that particular moon/month. The woman in Revelation 12 is the true church. She is surrounded by the sun, moon and stars, the lights in heaven, the signs. The true church keeps God’s Sabbath by the lights in heaven. When she is in the wilderness, she will not be using a pocket Gregorian calendar. She will calculate her Sabbaths by the signs above. We who now keep Sabbath by God’s Time are fully aware that we do not have all the light on this precious truth. Many of us do not yet completely understand how the stars play their role in God’s Calendar., ‘etc. But, if we are counted worthy to be amongst the just, we are comforted because the Bible says that, “ The path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” There is more light to come on this subject. Keep moving forward. Also, we cannot look to the people occupying the land of Israel today to say that they are keeping the correct Sabbath. Today, there is much controversy about who are the true children of Israel. The true Kids of Jacob are still scattered throughout the nations and still are being hated, despised and persecuted. Jesus said that there are people who say that they are Jews, but are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Believe the WORD OF GOD above any nation of people!!! The true Sabbath is calculated by the sun, moon and stars. So, do your research on what you have read in this letter. This is how I have been taught to keep Sabbath by the lights in heaven. The first week is, the new moon day, then the six work days and then Sabbath. Week 2, 3, and 4 is, six work days and then Sabbath. There is never, ever, ever 5 Sabbaths in God’s months as it sometimes is on the Gregorian calendar! The Father has three category of days, the new moon day, the 6 work days and the Sabbath day. Read Ezekiel 46:1-3 and 2 Kings 4:18-23. They never overlaps each other. The new moon will never fall on the Sabbath day or on one of the six work days, etc. This information is helpful both now and future because we need to get back to God’s ways and if God should allow man to enforce a “Sabbath Test”, to see if we will keep His Law or no. If such a test is allowed, may we choose wisely. Let us seriously repent of our evil ways, stop worshiping other gods, talking about one another, stealing, killing, lying, fornicating, adultery, disobedient to parents, etc., etc., etc. Let us seek God, read our bibles, memorize His commandments and do them, For God’s Kingdom is coming!! Repent! Repent! Repent! Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. This Babylonian system is falling, the Powers in charge are aware of this fact but they cannot stop it. Their time is coming to an end! Our time is coming to an end! If any worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, the same shall have no rest day or night and they shall be burnt with fire and brimstone. Revelation 13 and 14. Deuteronomy 5 Isaiah 58:12-14. And, furthermore, don’t be deceive concerning the “climate change movement “ and the “pretend care for the poor.” Remember, Judas , the betrayer of Jesus Christ, who claimed to care for the poor? It is true that many common people really do care about the earth and folks. But, not this last day beast system!! The Bible unmask this deception. We have already been warned that the last day beast power will “devour the whole earth, and shall thread it down, and break it in pieces” …” and wear out the saints of the most High..”. Satan is the father of lies! Read Daniel 7:23,25 With the things that are going on in the world today, it appears to me that Revelations 17 is taking place . The nations are giving their power to the beast until God says, enough. Also, research the “Seven Noahide Laws.” These are Jewish laws taken from their writings. The first law in the “Seven Noahide Laws” forbids idolatry and according to Jewish doctrine, to believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is idolatry and is punishable by death, decapitation. I have also heard that some of the USA presidents have signed this law under “Education. Day”and it is planned to be unleashed on all nations in the future. So, Research and see if these things be truth. May The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
We used to have contests at St. Joe's.Who can work more shift's ,9 -12's in a row. I lived in an old apartments 4 in a row. I was in 3, the kid who shared my bedroom wall would skip school and come home and play her radio really loud! I cannot believe I made it out of Night shift's for 35 year's out of 43 year's. She never quit it till she got married to the guy in 2. Left the state after 3 year's of her BS!
To tell the truth, nurses often don’t associate illness or disease processes to ourselves. You are not alone, have a close friend who is also a nurse and look out for each other, you will help each other stay on track.
I’ve been in nursing for 40 years and I’ll tell you how. When I graduated and started working for a hospital they set me up to work everywhere which I did and I became valuable. But when they started telling me when, how and what I would be doing I said no, this is what I’ll be doing. I said I tell you what I do, you don’t tell me what I do. And that has been my attitude. I was referred to as The Prima Donna.
Is an RN you don't have a boss? Don't they have to send you to certain patients and that sort of thing? I'm confused. I am considering going back to school. I am 65 years old. Getting a very late start but I still want it.
Hustle culture is definitely real & sometimes necessary for financial freedom but I agree that working yourself to death to make money is pointless unless you want others to enjoy the fruit of your labor.
Your story is so profound. I had a similar experience. I was working 3 icu jobs in 2015. Full time CVICU, per diem medical ICU, part time surgical icu. Mind you, all of them were in different cities… within a 30-35 min drive of my home. Well one day as charge in cv, I was doing rounds with the team and became acutely short of breath, sweating from my nipple line up, with chest pressure. I truly thought I was having a heart attack. Mind you.. I was 33!! No prior health history.. nothing. But here I was at work in SVT with saddle PEs. Any one in healthcare knows this was quite deadly. I was admitted to the ICU and placed on a heparin drip after having every scan you could imagine. Every consulting MD you could imagine was at my bedside to figure out how in the heck this could happen! The cardiologist and hematologist were quite perplexed. I cried so badly and truly put my life into a new perspective. I left the toxic marriage that I was in. I cut my jobs back to one. I took a year sabbatical from nursing and pulled back from all the different positions I was holding in my primary job in CV. These doctors were truly my angle’s because it was my cardio intensivist and surgeon who recognized that something was wrong with me. We have to take care of ourselves Nurses.. we are killing ourselves slowly. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Omg! Your story is so similar to mine. People would ask me about my work habits all the time. Honestly, I don’t even know how I was making it. Well, clearly I wasn’t because my health was suffering. I’m happy that your okay to tell your story. I know there’s a lot more people out there with similar situations. Be well ❤️
@@KendraRN please pray for me. We as humans are not living as God the Father told us and Satan these people have made nursing this WORLD SYSTEM NOT NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL TO BE SICK LIKE THAT TO EVEN HAVE HOSPITALS. ADAM AND EVE DIDN'T have these things. We are not NORMAL THE WORLD IS LYING. IT IS NOT BIBLICAL OR NORMAL to even act like we do. Sin is Killin us this culture and system. It is not normal to even be surgeons like this. IT IS NOT NORMAL. GOD DIDN'T MAKE US TO BE THIS WAY. IT IS A PROGRAM MENTALITY I am a pastor daughter and was a RN. IT IS NOT NORMAL. THINK GOD AND ADAM AND EVE. WE ARE LIVING LIES. HUMANS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SICK THAT THEY EVEN NEED NURSES 12 HR SHIFTS. LOOK AT THE PEOPLE AND ASK THEM. DO THEY KNOW GOD. MOST OF THEM DON'T which is why they sick......this world is A LIE
I worked myself into mental turmoil and almost a year later still experiencing daily panic attacks n anxiety so bad that I had to completely stop working n move back states to get help from my family. Non of this happened until I burned myself out for a job that will fire you anyway.
This is timely… I am struggling working two full time rn jobs, contemplating overtime this weekend. 100 hours a week. I’ve been living this way for years and I’m weary. This is a sign!
KT- I am the same and I had developed anxiety and had to stop. Now I bought a house and see me going down to the same damn road. I’m thinking how I can get outta this damn rat race
@@msblessalkalinemix7834 I understand! It’s hard, especially if you’re working to maintain everyday things. I listen to a lot of finance podcasts to here how other people escaped the rat race. It is possible.
Your heirs will be grateful to you. They will spend that money so fast. What are you doing that far? Please take some vacation time at least 3 weeks. Go to the caribbean to relax. With all the money you make book in an All Inclusive and be pampered.
Why? Put your house in order. Downsize if you must but this type of work schedule will send you to your grave...quick. Nothing you need is worth killing yourself.
You are so correct that nursing managers could give a rats a@@ less about us is very true! I remember when my father died the hospital I was working had 3 days of paid bereavement benefits. I was working in ICU and my manager and charge nurse tried to get me to work instead of going to my father's funeral because we were so short staffed. I ended up taking the 3 days and went to my dad's funeral but it left such a sour taste in my mouth that I should feel guilty taking time off for that.
Where do these people get off. Took me a few years but I learned quickly that administration do not care about your well being at all. I have no mercy for them either.
Yes girl! Health is definitely wealth! I know this firsthand. I was born with 2 genetic syndromes that affected my skeleton and joints. It really didn’t start to cause any great problems until my late 30’s. I was able to get my RN degree and work up until these diseases took away my health, and rendered me disabled. I still to this day mourn the loss of my RN, and ability to work in my chosen field. This is why I watch your channel. You make me feel like I’m your co-worker! I love catching up on the latest in nursing! Thanks for keeping the RN alive in me! ❤❤
Same here. 82% of disability and early retirement at 41 due to ill health. I miss my oncology patients and colleagues but I know it was necessary to stop.
Oh my Lord, I am so sorry sweetheart. My sister had colon and liver cancer and she's presently in remission. She is also a nurse and used to work many hours. I am a nurse but I promised myself never to work more than 36 hours per week. I will be praying for you.🙏
I’m a nurse. My heart rate was 36 in my primary doctor appointment. I was tired and when I walked up a flight of steps I had to walk up one at a time and have severe shortness of breath. My EKG was abnormal--bradycardia with abnormal beats. She said s no you have to see a cardiologist. I asked is it safe for me to work feeling this way. She kind of shrugged her shoulders. Needless to say I went to work. Three days later I went to urgent care because it was Thanksgiving weekend. Luckily I was seen by nurse practitioner who used to be ER nurse. She listened to me and ordered EKG. It was abnormal again. She looked at it and said”you’re not going to line me but you need to go to ER now”. I had a pacemaker placed. I swear that she saved my life. I’m returning to work in 2 weeks.
The fact that your PCP just shrugged her shoulders, not giving you a definitive answer, disturbs me. Please take care of yourself. You have made an investment in your career and in yourself. You want to see a very long return on this investment. Health is wealth, not chasing a bag.
I have worked with so many nurses that worked overtime consistently despite being severely overwhelmed and coming to work, sick, tired, and stressed out just to maintain a lifestyle above their means. So many nurses overwork themselves for a $. If my calcium was 17 I would not have been concerned with working a shift.
Loved this video…..this is why I only work full time for a short period of time then transition to part time. No job or no amount of money will prioritize over my relationship with God, my health, and my family. I know that working less isn’t an option for a lot of people due to their own personal lives (children, mortgages, etc), but the hustle culture for long periods of time without any goals (like buying a home) but just to make money is ridiculous. God is always good and I’m glad your here to tell your story, I know it touch many and have them look at their own situations.
Hi Kendra , when you mentioned Obie I realized that we were in the 48th csh together in the nursing corps. I am glad that you recognized God as your healer and your keeper. I really enjoy your message. Praying that you continue to give God the glory in Jesus name! Your story is truly a testimony of God 's love.
Yes to our bodies telling us when it needs help. I tell my family this all the time, listen to your body. Me on the other hand still ignoring my body 😂
Hello Kendra!! I am also an RN and girl I tell you it is wild right now in the hospital. We are so overworked and it is getting debilitating . Thank you for the video.
Your body’s compensatory mechanisms kicked in as you continued to drink more water without knowing. Learnt a lot of anatomy and physiology from your story. Grateful for your life!
(Responding to the doc) 😅 Wait a min, na! The appointment with Jesus comes first. I know He was just trying to emphasize as to how important the appointment was, but don't play with my Lord. ❤ No situation nor man is above Him ✨️🙌🏾🙏🏾 But this reminds me of what I went through when I suffered from a deficiency... But my God, Glory to Yahweh I'm happy you were revealed the truth and are feeling better. I pray you receive perfect spiritual, mental, and physical health in Jesus name, amen!!!!!
I HAVE STOPPED THIS, WORK, WORK MENTALITY. PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE DON'T CARE ABOUT STAFF ON THE FLOOR. DON'T DIE FOR MONEY PEOPLE. A GOOD REMINDER TO US ALL. IF YOU'RE DEAD, WHAT GOOD IS MONEY. PUT YOURSELF FIRST. THE OFFICE, PATIENTS AND THEIR RELATIVES DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU. SOME WILL EVEN THREATEN TO SUE YOU IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG. WORKING TO DEATH LOOKING AFTER PEOPLE TO ME, IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
Thank you Jesus for his divine healing over your body! As a person transitioning into nursing I always wondered why is the Endocrine system so important and you definitely put it in perspective why it’s important. Thank you Jesus for the healthcare professionals he put in path. God bless the people on TikTok that messaged you. Health is definitely wealth. Thank you for your story.
Hi Kendra. Thank you for sharing your story. I am an RN as well and I have experienced those symptoms: extreme back pain, hair loss, weight loss, and lack of appetite. This happened when I was an orientee as a NOC nurse on a Med/Surg/Tele unit. I didn't go to the doctor, but I knew I had to leave that job because it was so toxic for me. I was being bullied by my preceptors, other nurses, manager, educator, and supervisor. I saw your other videos on senior nurses bullying young nurses - it is absolutely true! I have to thank GOD for saving me because my manager ended up firing me and lying about not meeting orientation goals when I had a senior nurse who signed off all my papers for orientation, but my manager refuse to take it. Anyways, I think my Ca+ level was very high and my body was compensating for it. I remember my cousin telling me how I look sick. Now I'm feeling better and don't experience these symptoms anymore. I learned a great lesson which is to take care of our own health first before any corporations because they don't care about nurses. We are disposable to them.
As a retired nurse I have horror stories I could write a book about but I would have to seek counsel before sharing. In the beginning of my career as a new grad I made the mistake of not being able to say "NO" and I was a nurse for over 10 years and having health problems before I finally started standing up for myself.
Hi Kendra thank you for doing this and posting these comments. I’m a RN/BSN/C-OB; C-High Risk OB who is now retired x3 years. I had many many issues with white nurses whose intent was to see me fail. Working in the Deep South and with the Army in Germany was the worst. I had angels in my life who propped me up and pushed me forward. I started a Masters program at age 30 with 3 kids and a active duty husband. I also trained as a Army medic/ became a supervisor of training for army medics and joined the reserves. I fell off a bed backwards during an emergency C/S and dislocated my lumbar spine . I am now on disability after two back surgeries. Just like you ignored your pain I did so with mine. Of course it didn’t help that I had numerous physicians that misdiagnosed me. It is wonderful that you are advocating for other nurses. I am now retired/over 65 and a granny of 4. I am going to send you a picture of my mom who was an RN diploma grad and had polio.
Wow Kendra! The world is incredibly blessed to have you in it! Thank God for the people around you that pushed and encouraged you to get the care that you needed. As a nurse, we many times put ourselves last and I’m grateful that you are warning people not to do that. You are a true testimony ❤️🫶🏾😇🤗
your story brought me to tears. I have very bad lower back pain (on my left side) and at the end of my tailbone. The pain is so bad on the left side that it takes my breath away sometimes because it feels like a sharp knife has been stuck into it. There have been times after a long day at work that I can barely get out of my car or walk. I sleep with heating pads on my lower back because heat seems to be the only thing that alleviates the pain. I also struggle with the brain fog and have a hard time focusing or remembering things that I should. And i'm only 30!! I have brushed this pain off for the past four years because I thought, maybe I just hurt it at work. I have gone to physical therapy for this but it didn't seem to do much for me. It actually would make the pain worse at times. Our stories are very similar, I just want to thank you for sharing this. And thank you for shining the light on God. It has been frustrating because I struggle with trusting medicine and it seems that when I go to the doctor "nothing is wrong" but I KNOW something is going on with my body. I just have to find the right people that can diagnose it. This gives me hope and I am making an appointment with my PCP first thing on Monday! You are an inspiration
You’ve inspired me to find another doctor… I’ve had this back pain for months and I brought up to my PCP at my physical, hoping I could get a referral for imaging (an X-ray, at least 🤷🏻♀️). Her response was that I needed to lose weight… I’m not an obese woman, definitely overweight, and the back pain has been only on my right side, lumbar region. I have history of chronic kidney stones (the CaCO3 kind) and HTN… She didn’t even hesitate, “you just need to lose some weight and that back pain should go away.” This is why people have a distrust of medicine/doctors… I have good insurance- she couldn’t even order some imaging and tests to put my mind at ease or even prove herself right? 🥺 I’m gonna find a new doc…
That’s a terrifying experience. It’s crazy the things some of us will deny ourselves to be loyal to industries/corporations that show us time and time again we’re just a number. I have that same struggle with working myself to the point of exhaustion. Thank you for sharing this story. I’m sure a lot of others needed this message as well. I’m currently getting through my pre-reqs for nursing. Watching your videos really inspire me. I’m glad dr Kahn was able to help you along with your PCP. 💕 Take care 🙂
Thank you so much for this video I know God put this video in my feed because I needed to see it. I am a nurse, and I have a habit of overworking like crazy , I was asked to work today and I said yes even though one of my feet is slightly swollen and I should be elevating it, I had a cardio appointment today but the tech called out so I decided to work , I rescheduled for the next available which was the 24th. After watching this vid I texted the FA at the location that asked me to come in and told them I could not, I’m going to rest today. I am working the next 5 days I shouldn’t have picked up this shift. Thank you again for this video ,I am so glad you are doing better! God Bless!
Over 15 years ago, I was told I had enzyme levels in the thousands and the dr, at the time, told me the same thing, I cant believe you’re still working and I thought 😢. Years later my liver is doing what it’s supposed to. It was too much Tylenol making my liver shut down; the tylenol was for the migraines i had started getting, who knew. I’m just glad you got the hep you needed and it goes to show how strong the mind and body is. Ty for sharing and continued success, Beautiful❤
My birthday is April too!! 🎂🎉🎈🎁 By the way you look so healthy, joyful, confident & at peace in this video. In others I can see the fatigue & stress. Hope your BP is better. Yes, our health is our wealth & we are stewards of our body 💪🏾🙏🏽
thank god you are ok, material things dont last, memories, sunsets, walks at the park, time for relationships, family, sleep, movies, stargazing, enjoying life on earth, glad you cut your hours
i walked around ignoring cancer for two years! i had my gp take a look and she said come back if it does not get better. i did not bother going back until i knew i had a serious problem. that was 6 years ago. i worked through chemo. and radiation.
20 yrs of floor and homecare nursing i can barely walk… .i suffer from excruciating pain in back due to heavy lifting. NURSING SHORTAGE AND TOXICITY ALONG WITH AIDE SHORTAGE I SAY IS THE CAUSE...I also had Graves disease.
In another career, I pushed myself past the limit like you and people sharing here. Ended up with 2 serious chronic autoimmune conditions. I will be a nurse but never again will I let my health suffer. The damage can be unfixable.
I had to quit working in a hospital, last year. I was dying slowly. I don’t know how we survived working throughout Covid. It was crazy . Overworked is understatement, nurses would quit right and left. Working , working is not Worthy it.
No one else cares about your health, so you have to!! Taking care of yourself is a MUST! Thank you for the reminder!! I want to be here for my family and my children
My mother lost her life much too soon, I believe her symptoms were overlooked and therefore wasn’t caught in time. For that I go to the Dr yearly and very adamant on trying to be healthy. Like you say health is wealth ❤❤
Thank God had bigger plans for you Kendra. The work you are doing with your videos is touching lives that would never have a chance to meet you otherwise. It's such a pleasure to listen to you speak because you are clear, organized and intelligent. Thank you and you are in all my prayers to stay healthy and strong.
Kendra, I needed to find this video today. I finally understand that my nursing job combined with other life stressors was really bringing me down, and your example with your calcium levels so high and your work ethic pushing you so hard - that hit home. I quit my job 10 days ago. My long-time nurse buddies are encouraging me to take a chunk of time off to heal and revitalize. My significant other says the same. Me? I feel a bit lost and kind of ripped off. All that school and my hard work and all the heart I put into it. But I’ll keep watching your videos and keep hanging in there. Sending my appreciation of you to you.
Back in 2013 I had 1 year old daughter, twin boys 5 yo,I haven't slept through the night in years without someone waking me up in a middle of a night.My husband after loosing on and off jobs was just diagnosed with Bipolar ll.I was working RN home health full time for small agency driving hours between patients .I was loosing weight,eating a lot,my face changed.My DON was telling me I didn't look myself, hand tremor while drawing blood and etc.I though I was just stressed out but in general I was very healthy till then.So I went to PCP,endocrinologist where I was dx with Graves disease .Now I take gazillion on meds,work way less cause I cannot physically I just don't have that energy anymore.Take care of yourself please,otherwise nobody will.❤️❤️❤️
16:11 this right here is what I love nursing or at least human biology. The magnificent why our bodies are designed blows me away every time. We tend ignore the signs God provided, with other aspects of life as well, but glad it worked out for you
God is amazing in how he created the body to compensate, to give signals. Even our peripheral vision is amazing as it helps to keep us safe. God is truly amazing.
@Kendra RN Crazy right how Jesus works!! I've always been fascinated with how God designed these bodies of ours! Truly an art of his workmanship! I'm glad you're okay. I'm a nurse myself and this helped me slow down! I went to my MD 2 months ago for regular check up, labs, etc and I had a slight protein elevation like one point over (could be because i ate prior) to going but labs were good! And he wanted me to come back and have it rechecked. I will be making another appointment. As I brushed it off initially but seeing this...makes me want to make sure I'm good!
I’m so glad you had the surgery and everything went well. Praises to the most high! You give concise in formation. I wish you the best in everything you do. You are so on point I learnt that burning yourself out for lots of money is not the answer, God always will provide for us and we need to be happy with what we have especially in these times. There are nurses in the NHS (UK) that are burnt out and sick every minute because they are being overworked and underpaid. It’s a crazy world we live in right now and you have to know what is right for you and we know wealth is not better than health and your health is your wealth. Take care. Bless🙏🏿❤️✌🏽
I'm so happy that you stopped and listened to your doctor. Your life is worth more than any amount of money or any commitment to a job. If something would've happen they would have replaced you. Take care of you because no one else will. I happy you're here telling your story.
God was really with the young lady God bless you 🙏🙏💯 God made a way for you to go the specialist in order for them to help you on your lunch break that's why I give all the highest praise for everything that he doesn't do it even someone what it does do I'm your number one fan 4life how are you doing now a manifest everything is well and blessed for you
Thank you for sharing your story. I remember ” hustling” so hard right around that same time at the square until I was knocked down by breast cancer. My physicians got right on it so I believe God’s hands guided everything. So happy you are doing well and I look forward to more videos.
Wow! I am so glad I discovered your channel. You have help me with my nursing career issues and this! What you have shared! I’m going through right now with my calcium levels, severe back pain and para-thyroid issues. My Endocrinologist is wanting me to do a genetic test before doing any surgery. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of all of this so I can determine whether I can actually work. Right now I can’t. I sacrificed so much to become a nurse and would like to continue even if that means working lessor hours. Thanks for sharing your story.
Interesting, when I watched your video for the first time I thought, "Thyroid.". Nurses are notorious for overextending. Glad you caught it in time. You are an inspiration, so glad I found your channel.
Thank God for your medical team! Although, Dr. Kahn is not your savior- Jesus Christ is and I believe it’s by His grace you were linked with Dr. Kahn for your care. Thank you for sharing this testimony.
Thanks for the story girl! The Lord is good all the time. Our health should be top priority and he opened my eyes to see that this year! Working in the medical field has made me realize that Medics, Nursing Assistants, Nurses, PAs, Doctors and more can focus so much on grinding and working hard (we) forget about our own wellbeing. Glad you were able to get it addressed and get the surgery! God blessings to you forever! Have a great weekend ❤️
@@KendraRN how to get Him back. I think input so much ahead of God and even my family and health and losing them all. What to do. I want to be healthy but got on the Destruction path of life. Deceived and Foolish I hate. I did this with my life and body Satan Seriously TRICKED me and my dad WONT listen and purposely ignore me. I shouldn't have done this I was a healthy vibrant energetic person. This is bad.
God always has his angels looking out for us !! I'm glad you are ok now and will continue to follow up !! Amazing you are looking so good after going through all this !!
I'm glad you shared these details, I was curious about what you had experienced that led up to where you are now. Yes, the doctors you named and others who stepped in were angels sent to allow you to stay here and fulfill your purpose. The close calls are lessons that help us appreciate what we were naturally given. Wishing you the best.
Thank God for your videos!! As a nurse you are helping us see how overworking can kill us. I was there with thyroid surgery in 2020. So grateful for your sharing. We need to set boundaries at work, and help to creat our own work-life balance so we don’t die soon from working. Or any kind of stress, too much, too long and that can be it. Wow, thanks for breaking down how elevated calcium levels can affect us like this. You are an angel. Arlene 😊
Wow Kendra, Thanks for being open and sharing your story. As Nurses, we care for others and often forget about our health and well-being. I’m glad you’re doing better. May you continue to be healthy and well.
Same thing happened to me. I had all of the classic symptoms of losing weight, being hot all the time, insomnia, diarrhea, tachycardia, nausea… Primary care MD put me on meds and i saw the Endocrinologist the next week. BUT… someone had to convince me to go to the doctor to get checked out and I’m still a workaholic. 🤦🏾♀️
…., ……. May this message richly bless you and yours as it has bless me. Many profess believers of Jesus Christ believe that the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy was nailed to the cross and that we no longer have to keep it, while still embracing the other nine commands. Do you believe this? Ask yourself this question: which one or ones of the Ten Commandments do Jesus wants us to keep and obey? The Sabbath command is not only to be kept but it is to be calculated by the Time/calendar God ordained in the beginning of creation, Genesis 1:14. The sun, moon and stars are God’s True Time/calendar not that famous Gregorian calendar hanging on our walls in our houses. This split in God’s law must be repaired!! All of God’s laws, statutes, judgments and testimonies are just and true! We must do things God’s way or else we will be worshipping him in vain. There will be no good reward. Today, there are Sabbath laws/blue laws/Sunday laws on government books. Friday is not the true Sabbath. Saturday is not the true Sabbath. Sunday is not the true Sabbath, etc., because they are calculated by man’s time/calendars. The Gregorian Calendar is not true time. God’s months start with the new moon day. Read 1 Samuel 20. The Gregorian calendar do not start its months with the new moon day. So then, how can Saturday, Sunday, etc. be the true Sabbath? The beast in Daniel 7:25 only thought to change time on paper. For he could not truly change time because it sits in the heavens where no man can tamper with it. God’s months reset every month. Man got their concept from this, for example, “the first and fourth Saturday in April”, “the “first and fourth Saturday in May”, etc. A good example of this can be found in the Word Of God, Luke 6:1. What “second” Sabbath is this? Is it the “second” Sabbath after the creation of Adam and Eve? No!, it was the “second” Sabbath for that particular moon/month. The woman in Revelation 12 is the true church. She is surrounded by the sun, moon and stars, the lights in heaven, the signs. The true church keeps God’s Sabbath by the lights in heaven. When she is in the wilderness, she will not be using a pocket Gregorian calendar. She will calculate her Sabbaths by the signs above. We who now keep Sabbath by God’s Time are fully aware that we do not have all the light on this precious truth. Many of us do not yet completely understand how the stars play their role in God’s Calendar., ‘etc. But, if we are counted worthy to be amongst the just, we are comforted because the Bible says that, “ The path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” There is more light to come on this subject. Keep moving forward. Also, we cannot look to the people occupying the land of Israel today to say that they are keeping the correct Sabbath. Today, there is much controversy about who are the true children of Israel. The true Kids of Jacob are still scattered throughout the nations and still are being hated, despised and persecuted. Jesus said that there are people who say that they are Jews, but are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Believe the WORD OF GOD above any nation of people!!! The true Sabbath is calculated by the sun, moon and stars. So, do your research on what you have read in this letter. This is how I have been taught to keep Sabbath by the lights in heaven. The first week is, the new moon day, then the six work days and then Sabbath. Week 2, 3, and 4 is, six work days and then Sabbath. There is never, ever, ever 5 Sabbaths in God’s months as it sometimes is on the Gregorian calendar! The Father has three category of days, the new moon day, the 6 work days and the Sabbath day. Read Ezekiel 46:1-3 and 2 Kings 4:18-23. They never overlaps each other. The new moon will never fall on the Sabbath day or on one of the six work days, etc. This information is helpful both now and future because we need to get back to God’s ways and if God should allow man to enforce a “Sabbath Test”, to see if we will keep His Law or no. If such a test is allowed, may we choose wisely. Let us seriously repent of our evil ways, stop worshiping other gods, talking about one another, stealing, killing, lying, fornicating, adultery, disobedient to parents, etc., etc., etc. Let us seek God, read our bibles, memorize His commandments and do them, For God’s Kingdom is coming!! Repent! Repent! Repent! Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. This Babylonian system is falling, the Powers in charge are aware of this fact but they cannot stop it. Their time is coming to an end! Our time is coming to an end! If any worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, the same shall have no rest day or night and they shall be burnt with fire and brimstone. Revelation 13 and 14. Deuteronomy 5 Isaiah 58:12-14. And, furthermore, don’t be deceive concerning the “climate change movement “ and the “pretend care for the poor.” Remember, Judas , the betrayer of Jesus Christ, who claimed to care for the poor? It is true that many common people really do care about the earth and folks. But, not this last day beast system!! The Bible unmask this deception. We have already been warned that the last day beast power will “devour the whole earth, and shall thread it down, and break it in pieces” …” and wear out the saints of the most High..”. Satan is the father of lies! Read Daniel 7:23,25 With the things that are going on in the world today, it appears to me that Revelations 17 is taking place . The nations are giving their power to the beast until God says, enough. Also, research the “Seven Noahide Laws.” These are Jewish laws taken from their writings. The first law in the “Seven Noahide Laws” forbids idolatry and according to Jewish doctrine, to believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is idolatry and is punishable by death, decapitation. I have also heard that some of the USA presidents have signed this law under “Education. Day”and it is planned to be unleashed on all nations in the future. So, Research and see if these things be truth. May The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Thanks for sharing. Having worked in Endo... your PTH level was crazy! Understanding the endocrine system is very complicated. We typically think of diabetes with polydipsia. Our bodies are amazing. We can implant the remaining parathyroid glands into the arm and they still work! Another reason for scheduling those PCP appointments - if too much time goes by (2 years?), they are no longer your PCP and you have to wait to establish again.
Hi, yes, everything you said is so accurate. As a nurse I didn’t realize how intricate the body functions are, to keep us alive and well. My PTH was obscene and obnoxious. I go for follow up next month, I’ll keep you all posted.
Glad you are doing well and had great dr's that were able to determine the true issue. You are absolutely right, health is truly wealth. You can have all of the money in the world and it means nothing if you are not healthy enough to enjoy it. Thank you for this, as this will help so many others!
You're a great teacher. You should consider teaching as an adjunct professor at a local community college or training at your job. You're great at explaining technical things. I got what you were discussing and understood it. To God be the glory for Dr. Kahn.
@@KendraRN Your explanation wasn't confusing. It was repeatable (teachable) so that if I had to explain it to someone, I could. That's a sign of a great teacher. Have a great one.
I’m a new nursing grad and one thing my mom told me is DO NOT SHOW THESE JOBS LOYALTY! I will not break my back and risk my life for a check. My pay is more than what I need for my lifestyle and living with my mom also. There are too many people who want to “chase the bag” but their health is terrible and don’t want to miss out on work. Take care of yourself before anyone else.
Your mom told the absolute truth!
Agreed💯💯💯
L
Well said.
So true 🙏 I learnt to take my off day and spend time with my family
This is 1 of the reasons y I don't play with these jobs. They only care about staffing, not their staff. Ur health is not a priority 2 them. They'll b more upset that u called out with a genuine sickness than they r about u actually being sick. I thank God He sent the endocrinologist 2 insist on seeing u & that u r still here.
❤❤❤❤
I want to command your healthcare providers for showing great interest in your care. You cannot find too many Specialists offering their personal mobile numbers. Remember this. Heath is wealth and knowledge creates wisdom. To all the nurses and student nurses KNOW YOUR WORTH.
Also nurses overwork themselves for the greed of money. If you are off rest and switch off your phone...
@@zainabinti5170 That's a totally different situation. On my off days, I don't respond 2 calls from work. Doing OT is not necessarily about greed. 4 some, it's out of necessity. Nursing overall doesn't pay enough 2 b greedy.
Thank God for your life.
Yes, nursing is definitely stressful & was an overrated career of choice for ME. The last time I worked in nursing at a hospital was in May 2006. after a traumatic back injury while assisting a patient, I was terminated for not being able to do my duties as a nurse ( imagine that). At the time, the hospital in which I worked, stopped accepting Blue Cross Blue Shield for a time. Our hours & pay were cut TREMENDOUSLY because there was barely any patients on the floors. It was unimaginable how many people had BCBS insurance. I found my termination to be a BLESSING in disguise because although I made more money than I ever made, I was heinously stressed-out. In my household was my husband & 2 young children. I also was taking care of a sick & elderly mother whom lived 45 minutes away, with no assistance from my 4 siblings. I was diagnosed with kidney cancer of 1 kidney in 2019. It was removed & I’ve been CANCER-free ever since by GOD’s Grace & Mercy that has kept me SANE, healthy & stress-free 😇🙏🏽.
I was experiencing some chest discomfort at work-no other obvious symptoms, but a co-worker asked me what was going on and I told him what was up and told him if I was still feeling like this after my shift, I would go to the ER. His words snapped me into reality He said the place we were working would have an ad in the paper for my job before my obituary could be published Hahaha I gave hand-off report and headed to ER. I ended up with an emergency CABG x3. I’m grateful for his comments to this day. Lol
Oh wow!!! I’m so glad to hear that you’re ok! It is so true, your hospital/company would’ve posted it the next day!!!!
Wow
@@lamareneahjordan8660v
Self care comes first...self preservation is the rule of life!.nursing will drain u if u allow it...be wise...know your limits!
Whoa!
Thank you for sharing your story! No one ever says,on their death bed, “ I wish I would have worked more”. I agree, health is wealth.
Absolutely!!!❤️❤️❤️
Ladies, Please stop with this working yourself into poor health. I have been a nurse for 30 years. I observed the older nurses when I started out . They were always complaing of back pain. 3 of the young nurses and an aide on the floor I worked as a new nurse had miscarriages. I don't lift anyone above 20 lbs. I work in Pediatrics.. I take 2 weeks vacations every 3 months. I spent less so I have more and invest my money. The trick is to work smart and not chase the dollar or you will be in an early grave or living in a 90 years old body when you are not 90.
This is what needs to be taught in nursing school. Thank you for your comment, you’re 100 % correct 🙃
💯🙌🏾
I concur. Been a nurse for 30 years also. 3 back injuries. Yeah I used to work like that for decades until I was so sick so no I don’t even work but on call now and I try to only work about 8-10 days a month.
@@KendraRN Good to see you are doing much better.
I knew someone with back pain and it turned out to be a blood clot in lung.
Never ignore pain and go to ER ASAP.
I used to work per diem at one hospital. I remember one time the manager signed me up for five 12 hour shifts. I went to the manager & told her, please do not put me on for 5 days in a row. I can only 3 shifts for that week. I'm proud of myself because my coworkers just complained but never spoke to the manager.
That is so abusive
@@BlatantDisregardForYourFeels Extremely abusive. It tells me that they don't care about us! Period. I just didn't understand why coworkers wouldn't speak up for themselves!
These managers piss me off

We used to have contests at St. Joe's.Who can work more shift's ,9 -12's in a row. I lived in an old apartments 4 in a row. I was in 3, the kid who shared my bedroom wall would skip school and come home and play her radio really loud! I cannot believe I made it out of Night shift's for 35 year's out of 43 year's. She never quit it till she got married to the guy in 2. Left the state after 3 year's of her BS!
To tell the truth, nurses often don’t associate illness or disease processes to ourselves. You are not alone, have a close friend who is also a nurse and look out for each other, you will help each other stay on track.
Idk why we feel like the same can’t happen to us. Or maybe we think since we are in healthcare we know how to treat it n what not
Yes I got colon cancer because I never considered my own health
I am a Nurse of 30 years !!!!! Please Take Care Of YOURSELF !!!!! All of that assessment is critical and life threatening. So glad you’re okay .
Thank you so much, I’ve made a lot of changes. ❤️
I’ve been in nursing for 40 years and I’ll tell you how. When I graduated and started working for a hospital they set me up to work everywhere which I did and I became valuable. But when they started telling me when, how and what I would be doing I said no, this is what I’ll be doing. I said I tell you what I do, you don’t tell me what I do. And that has been my attitude. I was referred to as The Prima Donna.
Love that!!! We need more of you!
Love it
Is an RN you don't have a boss? Don't they have to send you to certain patients and that sort of thing? I'm confused. I am considering going back to school. I am 65 years old. Getting a very late start but I still want it.
Hustle culture is definitely real & sometimes necessary for financial freedom but I agree that working yourself to death to make money is pointless unless you want others to enjoy the fruit of your labor.
Nurses always do that...
Your story is so profound. I had a similar experience. I was working 3 icu jobs in 2015. Full time CVICU, per diem medical ICU, part time surgical icu. Mind you, all of them were in different cities… within a 30-35 min drive of my home. Well one day as charge in cv, I was doing rounds with the team and became acutely short of breath, sweating from my nipple line up, with chest pressure. I truly thought I was having a heart attack. Mind you.. I was 33!! No prior health history.. nothing. But here I was at work in SVT with saddle PEs. Any one in healthcare knows this was quite deadly. I was admitted to the ICU and placed on a heparin drip after having every scan you could imagine. Every consulting MD you could imagine was at my bedside to figure out how in the heck this could happen! The cardiologist and hematologist were quite perplexed. I cried so badly and truly put my life into a new perspective. I left the toxic marriage that I was in. I cut my jobs back to one. I took a year sabbatical from nursing and pulled back from all the different positions I was holding in my primary job in CV. These doctors were truly my angle’s because it was my cardio intensivist and surgeon who recognized that something was wrong with me. We have to take care of ourselves Nurses.. we are killing ourselves slowly. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Omg! Your story is so similar to mine. People would ask me about my work habits all the time. Honestly, I don’t even know how I was making it. Well, clearly I wasn’t because my health was suffering. I’m happy that your okay to tell your story. I know there’s a lot more people out there with similar situations. Be well ❤️
3 ICU jobs? When were you resting?
@@KendraRN please pray for me. We as humans are not living as God the Father told us and Satan these people have made nursing this WORLD SYSTEM NOT NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL TO BE SICK LIKE THAT TO EVEN HAVE HOSPITALS. ADAM AND EVE DIDN'T have these things. We are not NORMAL
THE WORLD IS LYING. IT IS NOT BIBLICAL OR NORMAL to even act like we do. Sin is Killin us this culture and system. It is not normal to even be surgeons like this. IT IS NOT NORMAL.
GOD DIDN'T MAKE US TO BE THIS WAY. IT IS A PROGRAM MENTALITY
I am a pastor daughter and was a RN. IT IS NOT NORMAL. THINK GOD AND ADAM AND EVE. WE ARE LIVING LIES. HUMANS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SICK THAT THEY EVEN NEED NURSES 12 HR SHIFTS. LOOK AT THE PEOPLE AND ASK THEM. DO THEY KNOW GOD. MOST OF THEM DON'T which is why they sick......this world is A LIE
I worked myself into mental turmoil and almost a year later still experiencing daily panic attacks n anxiety so bad that I had to completely stop working n move back states to get help from my family. Non of this happened until I burned myself out for a job that will fire you anyway.
This is timely… I am struggling working two full time rn jobs, contemplating overtime this weekend. 100 hours a week. I’ve been living this way for years and I’m weary. This is a sign!
Yikes! That’s a lot of hours but no judgement! You do what you have to do sometimes.
KT- I am the same and I had developed anxiety and had to stop. Now I bought a house and see me going down to the same damn road. I’m thinking how I can get outta this damn rat race
@@msblessalkalinemix7834 I understand! It’s hard, especially if you’re working to maintain everyday things. I listen to a lot of finance podcasts to here how other people escaped the rat race. It is possible.
Your heirs will be grateful to you. They will spend that money so fast. What are you doing that far? Please take some vacation time at least 3 weeks. Go to the caribbean to relax. With all the money you make book in an All Inclusive and be pampered.
Why? Put your house in order. Downsize if you must but this type of work schedule will send you to your grave...quick. Nothing you need is worth killing yourself.
You are so correct that nursing managers could give a rats a@@ less about us is very true! I remember when my father died the hospital I was working had 3 days of paid bereavement benefits. I was working in ICU and my manager and charge nurse tried to get me to work instead of going to my father's funeral because we were so short staffed. I ended up taking the 3 days and went to my dad's funeral but it left such a sour taste in my mouth that I should feel guilty taking time off for that.
Where do these people get off. Took me a few years but I learned quickly that administration do not care about your well being at all. I have no mercy for them either.
Yes girl! Health is definitely wealth! I know this firsthand. I was born with 2 genetic syndromes that affected my skeleton and joints. It really didn’t start to cause any great problems until my late 30’s. I was able to get my RN degree and work up until these diseases took away my health, and rendered me disabled. I still to this day mourn the loss of my RN, and ability to work in my chosen field. This is why I watch your channel. You make me feel like I’m your co-worker! I love catching up on the latest in nursing! Thanks for keeping the RN alive in me! ❤❤
Once a nurse always a nurse❤ God bless you
❤
Michelle, thank you so much! I appreciate you for even watching my channel. Take care of yourself ❤️
Same here. 82% of disability and early retirement at 41 due to ill health. I miss my oncology patients and colleagues but I know it was necessary to stop.
@@ananeto81 I'm a new nurse, about to start working in oncology...
Oh my Lord, I am so sorry sweetheart. My sister had colon and liver cancer and she's presently in remission. She is also a nurse and used to work many hours. I am a nurse but I promised myself never to work more than 36 hours per week. I will be praying for you.🙏
Oh wow! Your sister, that’s great news about the remission. ❤️
I’m a nurse. My heart rate was 36 in my primary doctor appointment. I was tired and when I walked up a flight of steps I had to walk up one at a time and have severe shortness of breath. My EKG was abnormal--bradycardia with abnormal beats. She said s no you have to see a cardiologist. I asked is it safe for me to work feeling this way. She kind of shrugged her shoulders. Needless to say I went to work. Three days later I went to urgent care because it was Thanksgiving weekend. Luckily I was seen by nurse practitioner who used to be ER nurse. She listened to me and ordered EKG. It was abnormal again. She looked at it and said”you’re not going to line me but you need to go to ER now”. I had a pacemaker placed. I swear that she saved my life. I’m returning to work in 2 weeks.
Wow, just wow! HR of 36. I can’t believe the doctor shrugged her shoulders. Wow!!! Thanks for sharing, please stay well ❤️
Lots of nurses die of cardiac disease from stress
The fact that your PCP just shrugged her shoulders, not giving you a definitive answer, disturbs me. Please take care of yourself. You have made an investment in your career and in yourself. You want to see a very long return on this investment. Health is wealth, not chasing a bag.
I have worked with so many nurses that worked overtime consistently despite being severely overwhelmed and coming to work, sick, tired, and stressed out just to maintain a lifestyle above their means. So many nurses overwork themselves for a $. If my calcium was 17 I would not have been concerned with working a shift.
It’s great that you have that perspective. It’s easy to say when you’re not the one experiencing it.
Loved this video…..this is why I only work full time for a short period of time then transition to part time. No job or no amount of money will prioritize over my relationship with God, my health, and my family. I know that working less isn’t an option for a lot of people due to their own personal lives (children, mortgages, etc), but the hustle culture for long periods of time without any goals (like buying a home) but just to make money is ridiculous. God is always good and I’m glad your here to tell your story, I know it touch many and have them look at their own situations.
Thank you Ninda! I fell victim to the hustle. It’s what was being celebrated at that time. Thank you for your comment❤️, I appreciate it.
Hi Kendra , when you mentioned Obie I realized that we were in the 48th csh together in the nursing corps. I am glad that you recognized God as your healer and your keeper. I really enjoy your message. Praying that you continue to give God the glory in Jesus name! Your story is truly a testimony of God 's love.
Yes to our bodies telling us when it needs help. I tell my family this all the time, listen to your body. Me on the other hand still ignoring my body 😂
Hello Kendra!! I am also an RN and girl I tell you it is wild right now in the hospital. We are so overworked and it is getting debilitating . Thank you for the video.
It is debilitating. Everything aches, it’s non stop on these floors.
Your body’s compensatory mechanisms kicked in as you continued to drink more water without knowing. Learnt a lot of anatomy and physiology from your story. Grateful for your life!
Thank you God for making our bodies so wonderful. Thank you for watching❤️
(Responding to the doc) 😅 Wait a min, na! The appointment with Jesus comes first. I know He was just trying to emphasize as to how important the appointment was, but don't play with my Lord. ❤ No situation nor man is above Him ✨️🙌🏾🙏🏾
But this reminds me of what I went through when I suffered from a deficiency... But my God, Glory to Yahweh
I'm happy you were revealed the truth and are feeling better. I pray you receive perfect spiritual, mental, and physical health in Jesus name, amen!!!!!
I HAVE STOPPED THIS, WORK, WORK MENTALITY. PEOPLE IN THE OFFICE DON'T CARE ABOUT STAFF ON THE FLOOR. DON'T DIE FOR MONEY PEOPLE. A GOOD REMINDER TO US ALL. IF YOU'RE DEAD, WHAT GOOD IS MONEY. PUT YOURSELF FIRST. THE OFFICE, PATIENTS AND THEIR RELATIVES DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU. SOME WILL EVEN THREATEN TO SUE YOU IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG. WORKING TO DEATH LOOKING AFTER PEOPLE TO ME, IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
Your amazing Kendra! Praying for you to be healthy and to be cancer free! 🙏
Thank you so much! ❤️🫶🏾
Copay, to hear that, makes my ears fall off , so ridiculous! We need universal health care!
Thank you Jesus for his divine healing over your body! As a person transitioning into nursing I always wondered why is the Endocrine system so important and you definitely put it in perspective why it’s important. Thank you Jesus for the healthcare professionals he put in path. God bless the people on TikTok that messaged you. Health is definitely wealth. Thank you for your story.
Oh yes, amen for sure. I am forever grateful. Thank you so much!
Hi Kendra. Thank you for sharing your story. I am an RN as well and I have experienced those symptoms: extreme back pain, hair loss, weight loss, and lack of appetite. This happened when I was an orientee as a NOC nurse on a Med/Surg/Tele unit. I didn't go to the doctor, but I knew I had to leave that job because it was so toxic for me. I was being bullied by my preceptors, other nurses, manager, educator, and supervisor. I saw your other videos on senior nurses bullying young nurses - it is absolutely true! I have to thank GOD for saving me because my manager ended up firing me and lying about not meeting orientation goals when I had a senior nurse who signed off all my papers for orientation, but my manager refuse to take it. Anyways, I think my Ca+ level was very high and my body was compensating for it. I remember my cousin telling me how I look sick. Now I'm feeling better and don't experience these symptoms anymore. I learned a great lesson which is to take care of our own health first before any corporations because they don't care about nurses. We are disposable to them.
Hustle culture is crazy as heck to me. So glad you are on the way to healing.
Do not ask for time off. Tell them you will not be in.
Kendra i am a retired BSN and immensely enjoyed your story. I learned a lot. So glad you had good medical care!
Thank you so much for talking time watch!
Loved your story I always say you can’t spend the money if you’re sick or dead. Health is wealth, always put yourself before any job ❤
Always! Thank you!
These nurse managers are really something! Shout out to your work friend for covering! ❤
Thank God it was caught and you are doing better 🙌🏾
Hey Jen girl! Thank you so much.
As a retired nurse I have horror stories I could write a book about but I would have to seek counsel before sharing. In the beginning of my career as a new grad I made the mistake of not being able to say "NO" and I was a nurse for over 10 years and having health problems before I finally started standing up for myself.
I’m just glad you’re here to tell your story and spread awareness ❤❤
Hi Kendra thank you for doing this and posting these comments. I’m a RN/BSN/C-OB; C-High Risk OB who is now retired x3 years. I had many many issues with white nurses whose intent was to see me fail. Working in the Deep South and with the Army in Germany was the worst. I had angels in my life who propped me up and pushed me forward. I started a Masters program at age 30 with 3 kids and a active duty husband. I also trained as a Army medic/ became a supervisor of training for army medics and joined the reserves. I fell off a bed backwards during an emergency C/S and dislocated my lumbar spine . I am now on disability after two back surgeries. Just like you ignored your pain I did so with mine. Of course it didn’t help that I had numerous physicians that misdiagnosed me. It is wonderful that you are advocating for other nurses. I am now retired/over 65 and a granny of 4. I am going to send you a picture of my mom who was an RN diploma grad and had polio.
Some of us our bodies compensate to a high degree. Imagine functioning on a hemoglobin of 6. Gid blesses us in many ways!!!
Wow Kendra! The world is incredibly blessed to have you in it! Thank God for the people around you that pushed and encouraged you to get the care that you needed. As a nurse, we many times put ourselves last and I’m grateful that you are warning people not to do that. You are a true testimony ❤️🫶🏾😇🤗
Thank you so much. Yes I didn’t want to call out and leave my co workers short, not did I want the penalties associated with calling out.
your story brought me to tears. I have very bad lower back pain (on my left side) and at the end of my tailbone. The pain is so bad on the left side that it takes my breath away sometimes because it feels like a sharp knife has been stuck into it. There have been times after a long day at work that I can barely get out of my car or walk. I sleep with heating pads on my lower back because heat seems to be the only thing that alleviates the pain. I also struggle with the brain fog and have a hard time focusing or remembering things that I should. And i'm only 30!! I have brushed this pain off for the past four years because I thought, maybe I just hurt it at work. I have gone to physical therapy for this but it didn't seem to do much for me. It actually would make the pain worse at times. Our stories are very similar, I just want to thank you for sharing this. And thank you for shining the light on God. It has been frustrating because I struggle with trusting medicine and it seems that when I go to the doctor "nothing is wrong" but I KNOW something is going on with my body. I just have to find the right people that can diagnose it. This gives me hope and I am making an appointment with my PCP first thing on Monday! You are an inspiration
Please keep me posted. Ask them to check your calcium and your PTH levels. I know how you feel, so sorry!
@@KendraRN I will girl. I’m asking for the CMP straight away! Thanks again. ❤️
This story is so common! I worked thyroid cancer trials for years and it sneaks up on people!
You’ve inspired me to find another doctor… I’ve had this back pain for months and I brought up to my PCP at my physical, hoping I could get a referral for imaging (an X-ray, at least 🤷🏻♀️). Her response was that I needed to lose weight… I’m not an obese woman, definitely overweight, and the back pain has been only on my right side, lumbar region. I have history of chronic kidney stones (the CaCO3 kind) and HTN… She didn’t even hesitate, “you just need to lose some weight and that back pain should go away.” This is why people have a distrust of medicine/doctors… I have good insurance- she couldn’t even order some imaging and tests to put my mind at ease or even prove herself right? 🥺 I’m gonna find a new doc…
Yes please do. It’s unfortunate that so
Many providers are dismissive of patients. Don’t stop until you find one to address your concerns!
That’s a terrifying experience. It’s crazy the things some of us will deny ourselves to be loyal to industries/corporations that show us time and time again we’re just a number. I have that same struggle with working myself to the point of exhaustion. Thank you for sharing this story. I’m sure a lot of others needed this message as well.
I’m currently getting through my pre-reqs for nursing. Watching your videos really inspire me. I’m glad dr Kahn was able to help you along with your PCP. 💕
Take care 🙂
Thank you so much for this video I know God put this video in my feed because I needed to see it. I am a nurse, and I have a habit of overworking like crazy , I was asked to work today and I said yes even though one of my feet is slightly swollen and I should be elevating it, I had a cardio appointment today but the tech called out so I decided to work , I rescheduled for the next available which was the 24th. After watching this vid I texted the FA at the location that asked me to come in and told them I could not, I’m going to rest today. I am working the next 5 days I shouldn’t have picked up this shift. Thank you again for this video ,I am so glad you are doing better! God Bless!
Over 15 years ago, I was told I had enzyme levels in the thousands and the dr, at the time, told me the same thing, I cant believe you’re still working and I thought 😢. Years later my liver is doing what it’s supposed to. It was too much Tylenol making my liver shut down; the tylenol was for the migraines i had started getting, who knew. I’m just glad you got the hep you needed and it goes to show how strong the mind and body is. Ty for sharing and continued success, Beautiful❤
My birthday is April too!! 🎂🎉🎈🎁 By the way you look so healthy, joyful, confident & at peace in this video. In others I can see the fatigue & stress. Hope your BP is better. Yes, our health is our wealth & we are stewards of our body 💪🏾🙏🏽
thank god you are ok, material things dont last, memories, sunsets, walks at the park, time for relationships, family, sleep, movies, stargazing, enjoying life on earth, glad you cut your hours
I’m so glad more people are speaking up about this. We have to take care of ourselves to the best of our ability
Hi Kayla, yes we do!
i walked around ignoring cancer for two years! i had my gp take a look and she said come back if it does not get better. i did not bother going back until i knew i had a serious problem. that was 6 years ago. i worked through chemo. and radiation.
How are you doing now? Wow
Eye opener, thank you so much for sharing your story, many times you don't feel any pain, and relax by not visiting your physician!
Very important to see primary care provider annually.
20 yrs of floor and homecare nursing i can barely walk… .i suffer from excruciating pain in back due to heavy lifting. NURSING SHORTAGE AND TOXICITY ALONG WITH AIDE SHORTAGE I SAY IS THE CAUSE...I also had Graves disease.
In another career, I pushed myself past the limit like you and people sharing here. Ended up with 2 serious chronic autoimmune conditions. I will be a nurse but never again will I let my health suffer. The damage can be unfixable.
I know exactly what you mean. Take care of yourself ❤️
@@KendraRN You too!!❤️
I had to quit working in a hospital, last year. I was dying slowly. I don’t know how we survived working throughout Covid. It was crazy . Overworked is understatement, nurses would quit right and left. Working , working is not Worthy it.
The effect it can have on your physical and mental health isn’t talked about enough
No one else cares about your health, so you have to!! Taking care of yourself is a MUST! Thank you for the reminder!! I want to be here for my family and my children
What an irony. Nurses are here to provide care for us, yet our medical system won’t give nurses the due & respect you most deserve.
My mother lost her life much too soon, I believe her symptoms were overlooked and therefore wasn’t caught in time. For that I go to the Dr yearly and very adamant on trying to be healthy. Like you say health is wealth ❤❤
It’s so important to do so. Sorry to hear about your mom. Continue to take care of yourself❤️
@@KendraRNThanks you take care as well!
Thank God had bigger plans for you Kendra. The work you are doing with your videos is touching lives that would never have a chance to meet you otherwise. It's such a pleasure to listen to you speak because you are clear, organized and intelligent. Thank you and you are in all my prayers to stay healthy and strong.
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you!
This is right on time as I prepare to work too damn much.
Listen, if you have goals, go for it! Just don’t make it long term and take care of yourself!
Amen , health is better then money.
Any day!!!
I got goosebumps when you said that Dr. Kon was an angel 😇
God sent for sure!
Kendra, I needed to find this video today. I finally understand that my nursing job combined with other life stressors was really bringing me down, and your example with your calcium levels so high and your work ethic pushing you so hard - that hit home. I quit my job 10 days ago. My long-time nurse buddies are encouraging me to take a chunk of time off to heal and revitalize. My significant other says the same. Me? I feel a bit lost and kind of ripped off. All that school and my hard work and all the heart I put into it. But I’ll keep watching your videos and keep hanging in there. Sending my appreciation of you to you.
Thank you for watching. Work sometimes consumes our life and we have to be mindful not to let it. Take care of yourself ❤️
shout out to the endocrinologist 🎉 for showing compassion & care 🧪🦴🫀
Yes, he’s amazing!
Back in 2013 I had 1 year old daughter, twin boys 5 yo,I haven't slept through the night in years without someone waking me up in a middle of a night.My husband after loosing on and off jobs was just diagnosed with Bipolar ll.I was working RN home health full time for small agency driving hours between patients .I was loosing weight,eating a lot,my face changed.My DON was telling me I didn't look myself, hand tremor while drawing blood and etc.I though I was just stressed out but in general I was very healthy till then.So I went to PCP,endocrinologist where I was dx with Graves disease .Now I take gazillion on meds,work way less cause I cannot physically I just don't have that energy anymore.Take care of yourself please,otherwise nobody will.❤️❤️❤️
16:11 this right here is what I love nursing or at least human biology. The magnificent why our bodies are designed blows me away every time. We tend ignore the signs God provided, with other aspects of life as well, but glad it worked out for you
God is amazing in how he created the body to compensate, to give signals. Even our peripheral vision is amazing as it helps to keep us safe. God is truly amazing.
@Kendra RN Crazy right how Jesus works!! I've always been fascinated with how God designed these bodies of ours! Truly an art of his workmanship!
I'm glad you're okay. I'm a nurse myself and this helped me slow down! I went to my MD 2 months ago for regular check up, labs, etc and I had a slight protein elevation like one point over (could be because i ate prior) to going but labs were good! And he wanted me to come back and have it rechecked. I will be making another appointment. As I brushed it off initially but seeing this...makes me want to make sure I'm good!
I’m so glad you had the surgery and everything went well. Praises to the most high! You give concise in formation. I wish you the best in everything you do. You are so on point I learnt that burning yourself out for lots of money is not the answer, God always will provide for us and we need to be happy with what we have especially in these times. There are nurses in the NHS (UK) that are burnt out and sick every minute because they are being overworked and underpaid. It’s a crazy world we live in right now and you have to know what is right for you and we know wealth is not better than health and your health is your wealth. Take care. Bless🙏🏿❤️✌🏽
Nurses take care of everyone else but themselves. Take care yourself girl
That is the truth! Thank you!
So true i Madde excuse for all my symptoms and ended up with a full blown stroke. Im glad be got that Doc to care for her.
This is so informative. Yu Yup Yup
Which state is this Doc in . I need him.
Good luck
I'm so happy that you stopped and listened to your doctor. Your life is worth more than any amount of money or any commitment to a job. If something would've happen they would have replaced you. Take care of you because no one else will. I happy you're here telling your story.
Thank you so much. I learned my lesson. Have a great week ok ❤️
God was really with the young lady God bless you 🙏🙏💯 God made a way for you to go the specialist in order for them to help you on your lunch break that's why I give all the highest praise for everything that he doesn't do it even someone what it does do I'm your number one fan 4life how are you doing now a manifest everything is well and blessed for you
Thank you for sharing your story. I remember ” hustling” so hard right around that same time at the square until I was knocked down by breast cancer. My physicians got right on it so I believe God’s hands guided everything. So happy you are doing well and I look forward to more videos.
Oh wow! I’m happy that you’re doing well! Stay blessed and thank you!
Wow! I am so glad I discovered your channel. You have help me with my nursing career issues and this! What you have shared! I’m going through right now with my calcium levels, severe back pain and para-thyroid issues. My Endocrinologist is wanting me to do a genetic test before doing any surgery. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of all of this so I can determine whether I can actually work. Right now I can’t. I sacrificed so much to become a nurse and would like to continue even if that means working lessor hours. Thanks for sharing your story.
Hi, thank you for sharing. Have you had diagnostic work up?
Interesting, when I watched your video for the first time I thought, "Thyroid.". Nurses are notorious for overextending. Glad you caught it in time.
You are an inspiration, so glad I found your channel.
Thank God for your medical team! Although, Dr. Kahn is not your savior- Jesus Christ is and I believe it’s by His grace you were linked with Dr. Kahn for your care. Thank you for sharing this testimony.
Definitely! Thank you!
Thanks for the story girl! The Lord is good all the time. Our health should be top priority and he opened my eyes to see that this year! Working in the medical field has made me realize that Medics, Nursing Assistants, Nurses, PAs, Doctors and more can focus so much on grinding and working hard (we) forget about our own wellbeing. Glad you were able to get it addressed and get the surgery! God blessings to you forever! Have a great weekend ❤️
Thank you so much, I’m recovering well.❤️
Thank you! This was a very beneficial talk. May God continue the protect you.
When you said God designed our bodies to work perfectly this resonates with me so deeply. Thank you for sharing your story.
Truly amazing. The body will compensate to achieve balance. God is wonderful!
@@KendraRN how to get Him back. I think input so much ahead of God and even my family and health and losing them all. What to do. I want to be healthy but got on the Destruction path of life. Deceived and Foolish I hate. I did this with my life and body Satan Seriously TRICKED me and my dad WONT listen and purposely ignore me. I shouldn't have done this I was a healthy vibrant energetic person. This is bad.
Not many doctors- that’s so rare. Omg! Girl, I felt this. Had to re-watch this
Oh wow, thank you!
God always has his angels looking out for us !! I'm glad you are ok now and will continue to follow up !! Amazing you are looking so good after going through all this !!
So glad your okay ❤
Thank you so much.
I'm glad you shared these details, I was curious about what you had experienced that led up to where you are now. Yes, the doctors you named and others who stepped in were angels sent to allow you to stay here and fulfill your purpose. The close calls are lessons that help us appreciate what we were naturally given. Wishing you the best.
Thank God for your videos!! As a nurse you are helping us see how overworking can kill us. I was there with thyroid surgery in 2020. So grateful for your sharing. We need to set boundaries at work, and help to creat our own work-life balance so we don’t die soon from working. Or any kind of stress, too much, too long and that can be it. Wow, thanks for breaking down how elevated calcium levels can affect us like this. You are an angel. Arlene 😊
Arlene, thank you so much! Work life balance is important and minimizing stress. It’s been so normalized over the years but it’s hurting us all.
Kendra you look so beautiful and you are glowing, 🥰
Thank you 💕
@@KendraRN You are welcome 🤗 🥰
Thank you for sharing :)
I just love you…. Your talk and everything about you. You are real, you’re open and honest. Thank you
You look good girl!
I love hearing your stories. im so glad to see you prioritizing your health first.
Love doctors who care and use those brains for the greater good
The Lord’s not going to let go yet. We need and adore you.❤
You have an important work to do.🌹
Wow Kendra, Thanks for being open and sharing your story. As Nurses, we care for others and often forget about our health and well-being. I’m glad you’re doing better. May you continue to be healthy and well.
Maxine, I certainly hope so as well! Thank you for watching💕
You're awesome! I'm glad I came across your video's....as a nurse they are very insightful!❤ Thanks!
Same thing happened to me. I had all of the classic symptoms of losing weight, being hot all the time, insomnia, diarrhea, tachycardia, nausea… Primary care MD put me on meds and i saw the Endocrinologist the next week. BUT… someone had to convince me to go to the doctor to get checked out and I’m still a workaholic. 🤦🏾♀️
…., ……. May this message richly bless you and yours as it has bless me.
Many profess believers of Jesus Christ believe that the fourth commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy was nailed to the cross and that we no longer have to keep it, while still embracing the other nine commands. Do you believe this?
Ask yourself this question: which one or ones of the Ten Commandments do Jesus wants us to keep and obey?
The Sabbath command is not only to be kept but it is to be calculated by the Time/calendar God ordained in the beginning of creation, Genesis 1:14. The sun, moon and stars are God’s True Time/calendar not that famous Gregorian calendar hanging on our walls in our houses.
This split in God’s law must be repaired!! All of God’s laws, statutes, judgments and testimonies are just and true! We must do things God’s way or else we will be worshipping him in vain. There will be no good reward.
Today, there are Sabbath laws/blue laws/Sunday laws on government books.
Friday is not the true Sabbath. Saturday is not the true Sabbath. Sunday is not the true Sabbath, etc., because they are calculated by man’s time/calendars.
The Gregorian Calendar is not true time. God’s months start with the new moon day. Read 1 Samuel 20. The Gregorian calendar do not start its months with the new moon day. So then, how can Saturday, Sunday, etc. be the true Sabbath?
The beast in Daniel 7:25 only thought to change time on paper. For he could not truly change time because it sits in the heavens where no man can tamper with it.
God’s months reset every month. Man got their concept from this, for example,
“the first and fourth Saturday in April”, “the “first and fourth Saturday in May”, etc. A good example of this can be found in the Word Of God, Luke 6:1. What “second” Sabbath is this? Is it the “second” Sabbath after the creation of Adam and Eve? No!, it was the “second” Sabbath for that particular moon/month.
The woman in Revelation 12 is the true church. She is surrounded by the sun, moon and stars, the lights in heaven, the signs. The true church keeps God’s Sabbath by the lights in heaven. When she is in the wilderness, she will not be using a pocket Gregorian calendar. She will calculate her Sabbaths by the signs above.
We who now keep Sabbath by God’s Time are fully aware that we do not have all the light on this precious truth. Many of us do not yet completely understand how the stars play their role in God’s Calendar., ‘etc.
But, if we are counted worthy to be amongst the just, we are comforted because the Bible says that, “ The path of the just is as a shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” There is more light to come on this subject. Keep moving forward.
Also, we cannot look to the people occupying the land of Israel today to say that they are keeping the correct Sabbath. Today, there is much controversy about who are the true children of Israel. The true Kids of Jacob are still scattered throughout the nations and still are being hated, despised and persecuted. Jesus said that there are people who say that they are Jews, but are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Believe the WORD OF GOD above any nation of people!!!
The true Sabbath is calculated by the sun, moon and stars. So, do your research on what you have read in this letter.
This is how I have been taught to keep Sabbath by the lights in heaven.
The first week is, the new moon day, then the six work days and then Sabbath.
Week 2, 3, and 4 is, six work days and then Sabbath. There is never, ever, ever 5 Sabbaths in God’s months as it sometimes is on the Gregorian calendar!
The Father has three category of days, the new moon day, the 6 work days and the Sabbath day. Read Ezekiel 46:1-3 and 2 Kings 4:18-23. They never overlaps each other. The new moon will never fall on the Sabbath day or on one of the six work days, etc.
This information is helpful both now and future because we need to get back to God’s ways and if God should allow man to enforce a “Sabbath Test”, to see if we will keep His Law or no. If such a test is allowed, may we choose wisely.
Let us seriously repent of our evil ways, stop worshiping other gods, talking about one another, stealing, killing, lying, fornicating, adultery, disobedient to parents, etc., etc., etc.
Let us seek God, read our bibles, memorize His commandments and do them, For God’s Kingdom is coming!! Repent! Repent! Repent!
Worship Him that made heaven, earth and sea. This Babylonian system is falling, the Powers in charge are aware of this fact but they cannot stop it. Their time is coming to an end! Our time is coming to an end!
If any worship the beast and his image and receive his mark, the same shall have no rest day or night and they shall be burnt with fire and brimstone. Revelation 13 and 14. Deuteronomy 5 Isaiah 58:12-14.
And, furthermore, don’t be deceive concerning the “climate change movement “ and the “pretend care for the poor.” Remember, Judas , the betrayer of Jesus Christ, who claimed to care for the poor? It is true that many common people really do care about the earth and folks. But, not this last day beast system!!
The Bible unmask this deception. We have already been warned that the last day beast power will “devour the whole earth, and shall thread it down, and break it in pieces” …” and wear out the saints of the most High..”. Satan is the father of lies! Read Daniel 7:23,25
With the things that are going on in the world today, it appears to me that Revelations 17 is taking place . The nations are giving their power to the beast until God says, enough.
Also, research the “Seven Noahide Laws.” These are Jewish laws taken from their writings. The first law in the “Seven Noahide Laws” forbids idolatry and according to Jewish doctrine, to believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, is idolatry and is punishable by death, decapitation. I have also heard that some of the USA presidents have signed this law under “Education. Day”and it is planned to be unleashed on all nations in the future. So, Research and see if these things be truth.
May The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
Thanks for sharing. Having worked in Endo... your PTH level was crazy! Understanding the endocrine system is very complicated. We typically think of diabetes with polydipsia. Our bodies are amazing. We can implant the remaining parathyroid glands into the arm and they still work! Another reason for scheduling those PCP appointments - if too much time goes by (2 years?), they are no longer your PCP and you have to wait to establish again.
Hi, yes, everything you said is so accurate. As a nurse I didn’t realize how intricate the body functions are, to keep us alive and well. My PTH was obscene and obnoxious. I go for follow up next month, I’ll keep you all posted.
Glad you are doing well and had great dr's that were able to determine the true issue. You are absolutely right, health is truly wealth. You can have all of the money in the world and it means nothing if you are not healthy enough to enjoy it. Thank you for this, as this will help so many others!
Oh yes! I learned the hard way❤️
You are so right God maneuvers things and we just have to listen!
I needed this video, as sometime as nurses we think we can save the world and neglect our lives and health
Amazing story i will pay more attention to my health
Please do!
Very strong lady ! Wow you are a motivator for the weak God bless you ❤
Wow God is so good! He saved my daughters life too and brought her complete healing ❤ I love him so much!!
So glad to hear ❤️
You're a great teacher. You should consider teaching as an adjunct professor at a local community college or training at your job. You're great at explaining technical things. I got what you were discussing and understood it. To God be the glory for Dr. Kahn.
Hi. Thank you for you kind words, I appreciate you. Glad it wasn’t confusing, I felt like I was talking in circles at times.
@@KendraRN Your explanation wasn't confusing. It was repeatable (teachable) so that if I had to explain it to someone, I could. That's a sign of a great teacher. Have a great one.
I’m glad you got through that! In dentistry we do check for that!
Never less so glad you pulled through 💛
Thanking God!
Well done Kendra.
You are an amazing lady
