Just a quick note to nurses: THANK YOU WE DON'T DESERVE YOU. Seriously. Nurses are awesome and you guys need a lot more love and recognition than what you get.
@@kirkygirl I'm sure our paths will never meet, as I'm a pediatric home care nurse now. I will prayerfully end my career loving on these precious medically fragile children. Praise Jesus.
Patient: Why is my blood pressure so high? Me: Do you usually take hypertension medication? Patient: Yes, but I stopped 2 days ago cause my hypertension went away Me: ...
Yupp. "I don't take it anymore cause my blood pressure was good". Yeah. It was good from taking the medication. Also when they say they don't want to take Lasix cause it makes them pee. Well yes darling then don't come to the hospital when you can't breath cause you have so much fluid in your lungs. If you don't want to take the treatments to help you, go away
@@nicolletrampe29 The Lasix thing is so true! I just want to say "well, that's what it is supposed to do, but yeah don't take it with your high blood pressure and congestive heart failure"
Best feeling ever: walking to the lockers after your shift, leaving the beeping chaos behind you and thinking "yep, that's none of my business anymore until tomorrow"
I am totally unfamiliar with that, I respond to call lights on my days off...... and I'm a fucking EMS provider, I haven't worked in a facility in like 5 years
Say once??? Depending on how much I love a patient/am frustrated, nightly basis with some of these things. I told a doctor I would kill him because he walked in and said “man it is very q_____ around here”. I went off on him. He was great.
My left arm has an awesome vein so when a nurse starts looking at the right, I always show them the left and sometimes they get visibly excited. I’m pretty sure I could get an IV in that arm if a nurse simply walked by. It’s that good!
🎶”It’s gonna be a looooong niiiight with yoooou!”🎶 Literally laughed, snorted, and almost choked because this is so true! We all have that one patient.
evan the good patience think that. was in recovery and 2 doors down could hear a lady complain that her meal came with the wrong vegies -bitch be gratefull you got to choose-
You keep thinking "I really need to pee" and then you realize it is the end of your shift or better yet you are worried your patient hasn't urinated in 8 hours and then you realize neither have you lol
I'm just a Medical Assistant and I can say I dreamt of Urinalysis' and cultures on Friday after work and on Monday. I don't dream of work on the weekends.
My mom is a children's nurse and I've heard these all before xD She often says the parents are worse than the children. The children mostly comply and aren't too bad, but the parents are utter chaos. What an underpaid job, I have so much respect for everyone working the medicine💞🙏
@Juno Darman Because most parents are overprotective and/or uneducated. The other day, an ambulance was called in our area because the mom thought the child of 4 years had a alcohol intoxication from a cookie it ate, as if it weren't a common fact that alcohol vanishes during backing/cooking an only the taste stays. Those people don't realize how their stupid behavior could cost other people's life.
I had to take care of a pediatric patient for a short time for a clinical exam. When my examiner and I went into the room the mother and grandmother were in there asleep in the chairs, and the room reeked with the KFC leftovers still sitting out from the night before. We were trying to set up the patient's breakfast and she said she wasn't ready to eat yet. Her mother piped up, "There are some mashed potatoes left, do you want them?" Poor child, you could just imagine the total chaos that surrounded her all the time.
After dropping off a patient at an ER I was just finishing up some documentation at the nurse's station and heard someone say it felt quiet in there, charge nurse looked about ready to slap them.
I had an outpatient phlebotomist call me at 4 in the morning once because she couldn't read a doctor's handwriting, so she didn't know what to draw. Ma'am, how am *I* supposed to read it through the phone? "Oh, so I need to call the doctor?" 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I'm a doctor but i know for a fact that any of the nurses i work with can relate to these 😅 and by the way, shoutout to all nurses out there, i have no idea how y'all do it and still manage to smile most of the time and hold the hand of noob doctors such as myself ❤
I would rather take an off duty drunken nurse's half ass diagnosis over paying for it at the clinic... i will guess what you're trying to tell me with slurred words 😂
When I was on Contiki in NZ two years ago, I was travelling with an ICU nurse... I was like 'sorry for being a hypochondriac, but do you think I have a blood clot?' Lol. Also if you think parties as a nurse are fun, try being a social worker :) it's like.. oh.. thanks so much for telling me about your deeply traumatic experiences, even though we just met 5 minutes ago at the cheese platter while telling you I love Mersey Valley cheese! 😂😂😂
😡 “Your bed is uncomfortable but the other guy’s chest is on fire” patients all think they are the only person there. Was a CNA and I hated that the most. The nurse would be with someone who had a real emergency and some prick watching the golden girls would start screaming cuz the nurse was 5 minutes late with their pill.
Out of curiosity, as a patient, how are you supposed to approach situations like that? I perpetually feel like a burden (something I struggle with), so I always hate asking or bothering anyone for anything, but often when you're hospitalized you aren't feeling too great to begin with. I'm always polite & make sure to let the nurses or techs know I'm not rushing them and understand things may not be right away (to hopefully put them at ease), but to know that they might still get annoyed with me anyway makes me feel even more scared to ask for anything. I aim to be considerate, but also don't want to be that patient that gets forgotten for not expressing how they honestly feel (for ex, most recently, my blood sugar had gone up close to 400 after 3.5 hrs waiting, so I gave myself a shot of my own insulin bc I began to feel terrible). It's just that that joke told in the video & in your comment, raises a real fear of mine, so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. So what would you recommend the patient do, if say, they have a concern or question that isn't life threatening (or at least at that moment)? Genuinely asking. I'm sympathetic to both sides & am open to a healthcare worker's perspective.
Nurses are amazing and don't get nearly enough recognition - and when you get the blessing to work alongside them and see the awesome things they can do to save a person's life? They just blow me away. Gotta love em!
Preach it sister! Also there is the ever classic 'my patient is dying now from sepsis after I documented for two weeks declining cognition, raised lab values, etc, but the good doctor couldn't be bothered when it would have made a difference'. Nursing-the one profession where you know whats happening with a patient but have no authority to do anything when the Doctor dismisses you and your findings. Those are my favorite I tell you.
I was admitting a patient once who was around 16 years old. She went into great detail telling me how she didn’t like cold toast and how upset she would be if she got cold toast. It took everything in me to not tell her how little I cared about how she liked her toast, I was more interested in what drugs she had taken and how they might affect her unborn baby.
PS - I actually *did* have nightmares about call bells, room alarms, mattress alarms, and the other eleventy-seven things that went "BEEEEEP" at work for the first couple of years...
I was very lucky, if I dreamed of call bells, I never remembered it. But I do have vivid flashbacks when I smell certain products that I used on patients, lotions, toothpaste, cologne, etc.
Not a nurse, but I work in the lab. I was at home once, got up out of bed, put on my coat. My boyfriend at the time asked what I was doing. I heard the phantom beeps of the blood culture machine and was compelled to respond. It took him a good three minutes to remind me that I wasn't at work and that someone else would grab it that was at work, if in fact, the alarm was going off. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
cmc0505 I think Fleur means that as a nurse, she never has a chance to have a break because there are always call bells and other things that need to be attended to
My hubs is an RN, and I swear every time he holds my hand in public he’s really just checking my radial pulse on the way before interlocking fingers. I slap him every time. 🙄
My mother is a retired nurse and she saw many, many changes over the years but my favorite story is how it was common practice to give girls with painful periods a tumbler full of spirits so, they would either sleep heavily through it or be super jolly.
Have you seen the videos where they use little generic CGI critters (like teddy bears or whatever) to animate over robot-text-reader voices, and someone used that tool to make a whole bunch about medical professionals? My favorite is orthopedic surgeon vs. psychiatrist (I'm a big ortho nerd), and I suspect you'd get a big giggle out of it if you haven't already seen it! Several others in that vein are great too. If you search up "orthopedic surgeon vs. psychiatrist" you should find them easily.
I'm doing psych now, graduating in July (with Bachelor of Psychological Science). Wanted to do nursing but everyone talked me out of it, and I grimace when I have to wipe my own ass. :( Sorry for the emo comment, but yeah I just wish I did what I wanted to do, and not what everyone else said to do.
Still don’t get why everyone freaks out about googling symptoms. I’m from a low income family. I don’t have money to go into urgent care for every little thing and I certainly don’t have the time to sit in a waiting room if i could be at work, making money so i can pay my rent and like NOT get my water and electricity shut off?? Point is, They get upset when we google our symptoms, but then they get upset when we come in about something that’s totally normal and stupid. like sorry, EXCUSE me It’s not like doctor or anything? You expect me to know every little thing about my body and instantly know whether or not i should see a doctor about something?? Obviously the internet will tell you you have cancer with basically any symptoms but Anyone with even 1 brain cell knows that most likely it’s not cancer. Most of us just want to know if we can tough it out and go to work or if we would be wiser to take PTO and see a doctor.
I totally understand that people Google their symptoms to judge whether or not it's worth it to pay the doctor a visit. It's normal. And it's also normal for a patient to come for a small viral infection that can be resolved with water and sleep, because it's not their job to know what's wrong with them. Personally I get annoyed by the googling thing when I diagnose something and the patient goes "no I'm telling you I saw it on Google, what I have is THIS, not what you say I have". Or they'll ask questions about their illness and I'll answer, but then they go "but on Google it says differently". That kind of stuff is very frustrating and is probably what this video was referring to?
Ugh...all of it! But the "You e googled your symptoms? Then what do you need me for?" Spot on. If you're so knowledgeable about your health, why are you here?
I suffer from a lot of terrible symptoms. I have had doctors turn me away. I don’t think it is wrong to want to know what is happening to you. The more information I go in with the more they listen to me. Unless you have been treated badly by doctors it is hard to understand.
@@juliettehilton438 also in what world does the nurses' opinion on your symptoms matter? That's the doctor's job and I do not want to deal with a judgmental nurse that thinks she knows more about what's happening to me than I do just because she's got a one-word diagnosis. At least most nurses are nice and stick to their job, but I've encountered more mistreatment from nurses than doctors.
the week i was at hospital i pressed the call botten twice because i constantly felt bad about it, and i literally made sure to not bother them as much as i can
@Trevor Fluck It really just depends...nurses will draw blood if they are short staffed or if the organisation can not afford to hire enoughs phlebotomists 🙂 I may not be a nurse but quite a few people in my family are and I assure you they take blood as apart of their job!
YEEEESSS, I'm a old peoples nurse from Germany, an I feel this. I'm working now for 5 years in an ambulance life care service and I can still hear the alarms from my training days. And yes Kasaks are really flattering.
Thank You for being committed to helping and caring for patients and putting up with our nonsense. Lots of Love Nurses are heroes and should be recognized!💖
This is fashion! *me in my scrub shirt* And dear Lord I never thought I'd ever notice a persons veins the way I do now that I'm a phlebotomist/pathologist :P
@@capw8677 I promise you myself or my coworkers could find a vein somewhere! That's literally all we do all day 😂 I wish they'd let us do cannulas because I swear we'd be so much better at them because majority of the time we find good veins and shake our heads in disbelief when a patient tells us of their cannula struggles 😂
pompeiinrdfghtr you’re a pathologist? Who does phleb on the side?! Or both? Where I work pathologists stay in their office and rarely even interact with the lab staff.. if anyone... but each other. That’s really cool you have patient interaction or want that interaction. Sorry I’m curious and a little nosey this just sparked my interest.
I just finished first year nursing and spent my summer working as a student nurse psw and did home care, and I STILL RELATE!!!! Loved this, you're amazing
nurses are so underappreciated, they keep everything running smoothly and are most likely to experience abuse at the hands of a patient. thank you for all you do 💕
I spent the best part of a year in hospital with cancer when I was 20. There were so many complications, surgeries, infections and stays in intensive care that it was often hard to stay positive, but the nurses who genuinely cared made the whole experience bareable. Nurses really are like angels. 😇
I literally wear the pants from scrubs and I'm not remotely a nurse, doctor, vet, dentist, etc. or anything close to that. I just like the comfort and pockets 🤷♂️
I LOVE NURSES. Could never be one, no way. But I love them. I'll always remember one midwife who spent 12 hours with me, didn't eat, didn't go to the toilet and went into overtime just to make sure I was ok. I never asked her too. She was just amazing. I'll always remember her for being there for me.
Spot on my darling!!!!!!!!!! Im a registered nurse and oh my god, did you get this down pat!! Hilarious but disturbingly true! If only the population knew our truths! God love ya, you rock sister!
"Oh you googles all your symptoms; what do you need me for?" Hahahaha! This was great! I and my sisters had amazing nurses when hospitalized at various times growning up and still fondly remember how awesome they were. You all rock, and many of us are immensely grateful for the hard work and dedication you have. THANK YOU!
It's a joke...just like all the other professions she's spoofed. Not to worry though, despite all these issues, most nurses I know love their jobs, and their patients
Poor Debbie deals with the tweeker meth head drunks at booking that are upset they can’t have their Addarall in gen pop and generally want to kill themselves 😂

Just spent four days in a hospital bed and had to laugh so hard watching your video 😂. Nurses are heroines!!!!!
Omg I’m a nurse and stumbled on this and absolutely lost it 😂😂😂 so good! You are hilarious and amazing ♥️♥️
This is so fun, your personality and comedic timing paired with real life experiences make this comedy gold
Tears are streaming down my face at the tea part 😂
I like that nursing is so universal. It’s hell everywhere :)
Crying bc I miss my mother and it's true that nurses never get to retire.
Lol the vein thing when I had my kids the nurse was like can I snap chat your veins 😂
My daughter is almost done with becoming an RN,BSN. Definitely not enough praises for nurses!!
Just finished a night shift so yes the bells are still ring.
my mums a midwife and she genuinely admires nice veins on peoples arms
This video makes me even happier I dropped out of nursing to do psychology
Have you seen the videos where they use little generic CGI critters (like teddy bears or whatever) to animate over robot-text-reader voices, and someone used that tool to make a whole bunch about medical professionals? My favorite is orthopedic surgeon vs. psychiatrist (I'm a big ortho nerd), and I suspect you'd get a big giggle out of it if you haven't already seen it! Several others in that vein are great too. If you search up "orthopedic surgeon vs. psychiatrist" you should find them easily.
Emerald Thankyou I’ll check it out now ☺️
@@charlottewaters4116 Yay! You'll love it! It's too quotable haha ... "Is that the technical term? I'm not familiar with psychiatry ..."
I'm doing psych now, graduating in July (with Bachelor of Psychological Science). Wanted to do nursing but everyone talked me out of it, and I grimace when I have to wipe my own ass. :( Sorry for the emo comment, but yeah I just wish I did what I wanted to do, and not what everyone else said to do.
Tanya is my spirit animal.
Still don’t get why everyone freaks out about googling symptoms.
I’m from a low income family. I don’t have money to go into urgent care for every little thing and I certainly don’t have the time to sit in a waiting room if i could be at work, making money so i can pay my rent and like NOT get my water and electricity shut off??
Point is, They get upset when we google our symptoms, but then they get upset when we come in about something that’s totally normal and stupid. like sorry, EXCUSE me It’s not like doctor or anything? You expect me to know every little thing about my body and instantly know whether or not i should see a doctor about something??
Obviously the internet will tell you you have cancer with basically any symptoms but Anyone with even 1 brain cell knows that most likely it’s not cancer. Most of us just want to know if we can tough it out and go to work or if we would be wiser to take PTO and see a doctor.
I totally understand that people Google their symptoms to judge whether or not it's worth it to pay the doctor a visit. It's normal. And it's also normal for a patient to come for a small viral infection that can be resolved with water and sleep, because it's not their job to know what's wrong with them.
Personally I get annoyed by the googling thing when I diagnose something and the patient goes "no I'm telling you I saw it on Google, what I have is THIS, not what you say I have". Or they'll ask questions about their illness and I'll answer, but then they go "but on Google it says differently". That kind of stuff is very frustrating and is probably what this video was referring to?
Give credit to nurses more than doctors cause they deserve it.
Ugh...all of it! But the "You e googled your symptoms? Then what do you need me for?" Spot on. If you're so knowledgeable about your health, why are you here?
Seriously... I agree so much on that. I am a paeds nurse. I got a lot of that from parents, relatives. 😑
I suffer from a lot of terrible symptoms. I have had doctors turn me away. I don’t think it is wrong to want to know what is happening to you. The more information I go in with the more they listen to me. Unless you have been treated badly by doctors it is hard to understand.
@@juliettehilton438 also in what world does the nurses' opinion on your symptoms matter? That's the doctor's job and I do not want to deal with a judgmental nurse that thinks she knows more about what's happening to me than I do just because she's got a one-word diagnosis. At least most nurses are nice and stick to their job, but I've encountered more mistreatment from nurses than doctors.
I watched my family Dr google my symptoms. That was a scary moment
@@shedoesconcerts5762 I can tell how much you respect nurses. With that in mind, no wonder they've been rude.
Nurses thank you too all for your service especially now🌿💐
As a nurse, this video had me cracking up. Soo true.
Glad my brain to mouth filter is on..most of the time😂😅😅
Gotta have mad respect for the HEROES that are nurses 💗💗
Also very relatable for people working in care 😂💕
the week i was at hospital i pressed the call botten twice because i constantly felt bad about it, and i literally made sure to not bother them as much as i can
Not a nurse but everytime I get my blood taken the nurse ALWAYS compliments my veins...🤔😂
@Trevor Fluck It really just depends...nurses will draw blood if they are short staffed or if the organisation can not afford to hire enoughs phlebotomists 🙂 I may not be a nurse but quite a few people in my family are and I assure you they take blood as apart of their job!
Same here every time
I love how it's a compliment 😂
@Trevor Fluck Also depends what country's system of health care you're under, in the UK it's super common for nurses to take blood.
Trevor Fluck quick question what is a phelebologist
YEEEESSS, I'm a old peoples nurse from Germany, an I feel this.
I'm working now for 5 years in an ambulance life care service and I can still hear the alarms from my training days.
And yes Kasaks are really flattering.
OMG. I relate so much. This is my every working day 😂 Best video EVER
Thank You for being committed to helping and caring for patients and putting up with our nonsense. Lots of Love Nurses are heroes and should be recognized!💖
This is fashion! *me in my scrub shirt*
And dear Lord I never thought I'd ever notice a persons veins the way I do now that I'm a phlebotomist/pathologist :P
pompeiinrdfghtr i have the worst veins girlll it took 3 nurses to get a cannula in 😂
@@capw8677 I promise you myself or my coworkers could find a vein somewhere! That's literally all we do all day 😂 I wish they'd let us do cannulas because I swear we'd be so much better at them because majority of the time we find good veins and shake our heads in disbelief when a patient tells us of their cannula struggles 😂
pompeiinrdfghtr they were going to ultrasound to find them! hahaha luckily they got it in after the third nurse 😂
@@capw8677 Gosh what a nightmare! Sorry that's happened to you!
pompeiinrdfghtr you’re a pathologist? Who does phleb on the side?! Or both? Where I work pathologists stay in their office and rarely even interact with the lab staff.. if anyone... but each other. That’s really cool you have patient interaction or want that interaction. Sorry I’m curious and a little nosey this just sparked my interest.
I just finished first year nursing and spent my summer working as a student nurse psw and did home care, and I STILL RELATE!!!! Loved this, you're amazing
This is so hilarious!! I love and live for your nurse content cause it's my life! All your other stuff is just as hilarious of course! 😂💖
nurses are so underappreciated, they keep everything running smoothly and are most likely to experience abuse at the hands of a patient. thank you for all you do 💕
I am a nurse, this is amazing Tanya!!!!😂😂😂😂
I spent the best part of a year in hospital with cancer when I was 20. There were so many complications, surgeries, infections and stays in intensive care that it was often hard to stay positive, but the nurses who genuinely cared made the whole experience bareable. Nurses really are like angels. 😇
I literally wear the pants from scrubs and I'm not remotely a nurse, doctor, vet, dentist, etc. or anything close to that. I just like the comfort and pockets 🤷♂️
Im late but when I worked as an aide I felt this so hard
Same thing to ambos lol feels!!! Nurses are the best..and you would make a wonderful nurse!
I LOVE NURSES. Could never be one, no way. But I love them. I'll always remember one midwife who spent 12 hours with me, didn't eat, didn't go to the toilet and went into overtime just to make sure I was ok. I never asked her too. She was just amazing. I'll always remember her for being there for me.
Out of the ED for six years now, I still have a fear of the Q word.
Quickie?
Spot on my darling!!!!!!!!!! Im a registered nurse and oh my god, did you get this down pat!! Hilarious but disturbingly true! If only the population knew our truths! God love ya, you rock sister!
An Aussie Nurse Reacts to “All Saints”. Would be awesome
Nurses are too good for this world!! Y’all are amazing and we love you 💕
This is hilarious!!! I love her voice... She'd keep patients laughing!
This just popped up in my feed & I Love it
LOL! Yes, yes, yes to all of them! The best stories come from within the walls of a hospital 🤣👩🏼⚕️❤
Girl you deserve millions of subscribers !!! You are the BEST !!!
Looking at other people's veins and getting excited: the one thing nurses and junkies have in common
"Oh you googles all your symptoms; what do you need me for?" Hahahaha! This was great! I and my sisters had amazing nurses when hospitalized at various times growning up and still fondly remember how awesome they were. You all rock, and many of us are immensely grateful for the hard work and dedication you have. THANK YOU!
But why be a nurse if so many dislike so many aspects of it? It just makes it so much more uncomfortable for the people in pain (aka the patients).
It's a joke...just like all the other professions she's spoofed. Not to worry though, despite all these issues, most nurses I know love their jobs, and their patients
i just got off my shift and i feel this on a spiritual level
LOL . Jail nurse here- I could really tell you stories!!!
Debbie Esker i wanna hear them!!!
Make a UA-cam video. Right now!
We need people like you, but I don't envy you!
Poor Debbie deals with the tweeker meth head drunks at booking that are upset they can’t have their Addarall in gen pop and generally want to kill themselves 😂
Even here in England....I could relate to every statement! So true and just the tip of the nursing iceberg! 😂
