I felt so bad when she started crying😭
I definitely teared up a bit. 😫 Doesn't help that I'm 9 months pregnant.
Yeah me too i just wanted to give her a hug
Me too! Its tough when that stuff happens, esp to a baby.
Ja Nay everything will be fine, believe me, when your baby is born I bet he or she will be fine.
And it will be one of the happiest feelings finally being able to be with him/her
Good luck!
💕
@@janay2729 aww congrats!
Awwww she started crying you know that’s a true nurse because she really really cares
I love nurses like that like actually care about there job and who they are treating
Brought me tears too. Keep in mind too, some hold it in until they cry alone...or hold it in until years later or let it out through drugs or other coping actions. It's heavy stuff. Bless to all medical personnel that go through this stuff because they truly care and work hard to just hold themselves together. I'm glad she's able to cry because it's a healthy way to let it out.

Not all nurses lol being too emotionally involved can also be problematic. Since it can inhibit you from performing your job which is the most important thing.
well no it was a baby no duh everyone would cry she cares bout babys
just because a nurse doesnt cry, doesnt mean they dont care. Being too emotional in a job like this can alter your work.
The fact that a nurse had to google something makes me feel better.
Edit: I know doctors can’t know everything so sorry if it came off that way. They’re normal people too :)
I've seen tenure doctors having to google stuff. We can't know everything, and sometimes, we have to rely on the patient because they know more about the condition than we do. (You can't know everything, love).
I have a less common condition so I've seen doctors and nurses look it up when I talk to them about it lol
Doctors also look things up and google things.
Girl I did clinicals and the staff would google everything; or look up in WebMD and their own version of WebMD
Lowkey makes me feel worse 😩
After many years as the supervising RN on the night shift...we had an 18 months old baby come in with no vital signs. The child was cold and blue...had obviously been gone for a while. Still...I met the parents in the parking lot..grabbed the baby and began doing what I could as I ran to the trauma bay. We worked for over 2 hours before the Dr stopped the code. I couldn't stop! He physically had to pull me away from the baby. That's been years ago. I'm retired now and I'm crying while typing this. Did I ever get numb to what I saw? No, thank you Lord...I never got used to it.
Wow that’s amazing I want to be a nurse or a pediatric doctor
God bless you
I’m so sorry but at the same time God bless you! My dad is an ER doctor and I could never have the courage to do what doctors and nurses do. I think we should appreciate them more
Wow that gave me chills thinking about it... Bless you💜
humming bird I was expecting some happy ending story and boy was I wrong

I could never work in ER. I’d actually faint
Exactly why are you everywhere
Ishan Ali me too
I absolutely love it ❤️
I know someone like that.
Get out off my life your everywhere
Omg the nurse who started crying over the baby was such a darling girl!! Such a big hear
Weak in the heart
Minej Mosuris it’s not weak it’s life
BigDaddyCool42 dance moms is
i thought it was hilarious when the next question was "do you eventually become numb to trauma" and she didn't have to answer cuz irony
It’s not just one case .. things build up on your soul. A person can experience 1 or 2 of these events in their life ... we experience it 1 or 2 a week. :(
Nurse: *starts crying from memories of trauma* "Okay, next one. 'Do you eventually become numb to trauma?'"
Lmao
Litteraly have to be able to treat the next patient. But at end of shift or after you can feel all the feels and let it out. So my guess is she was treating this like work
You can push it aside to take care of what needs to be done. But it definately takes a toll later. I read once that PTSD rates in emergency medicine personnel is close to the same as in the military.
She cries over the bavy, next question "do you become numb to trauma. Ouch bad timing.
Yeah, I think that spoke for itself!
I really enjoyed my cheeseburger while watching this. The part about the maggots eating someone’s foot was particularly great to eat through.
Brandi Munguia ñn
the last thing you'd want in your burger king burger is someone's foot maggots. But as it turns out, that might be what you get
i'm eating vanilla cream filled cookies. I put them down for that part. :\
Become a nurse u can eat through all sorts of chat haha another superpower
Maggots in wounds on homeless diabetics is very common actually 😢 the smell is what gets me.
They should do one for emt and paramedics
not a buzzfeed vid, but nightwatch nation is a good series to get into for that. it's one of those live-cam shows where they follow the teams around
Wait, emt and paramedic are different? What are the differences?
@@jackhands31 paramedics are more highly trained. EMTs typically only have about 6 months of school vs paramedic training programs are usually 2-3 years. (but in order to get into paramedic training you usually have to take EMT courses first)
So real when the nurse started crying for a brief moment, wiped her face, and said "Next one". Even in the ER where our hearts truly go out for the patients, we have to "get it together" before the next one just so we are also giving our all to them. This is a different type of strength.
Nurses are amazing! They've been there for me at some of the worst times in my life, when bad things happen to me or a loved one. I'm a cancer survivor. They've held my hand when I'm scared; their gentle voices helped keep my mind off of things when I was anxious; and they've hugged me when my mom and sister died. Nurses are angels on earth.
They deserve more credit
I’ll be entering nursing school in August and it’s really stories like these that encourage and motivate me. Nurses play such a huge role in many people’s lives and I hope to one day make an impact like that.
I had a nurse that held my hand when I had a needle stuck in my back to drain fluids from walking pneumonia that was preventing me from breathing normally.
This is so true. I had to stay at the hospital for a few weeks when my Dad had cancer. Everyone knew it’s terminal and the nurses had so much empathy not just for my Dad but for my family. They would do a lot of little things to make sure we are comfortable because it’s not comfortable sitting there all day watching your loved one waste away. Those “littles” acts of kindness and compassion meant a lot to me. It’s the reason I try to volunteer for charities sometimes because u never know what kind of difference it can make to others. Pay it forward!
They’re amazing! I’ve had two surgeries in the last 6 weeks and they’ve been so kind to me.
That’s not how you make guacamole
Sheepsquatch im dying at this comment
Sheepsquatch 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sheepsquatch they read the recipe wrong
Sheepsquatch Lololololol 😂😂😂
😂
I’m a labor and delivery registered nurse. A baby literally died last summer and I had to carry on with my day as if this was an everyday thing. I bawled when I went to bed at night. It’s a rewarding, but difficult career.
Man the nurse that started crying about the baby...I can only imagine the reality of Doctors and Nurses everyday.
What time
No
The healthcare system would be a MESS without nurses, thank god for nurses who dedicate their lives to helping others
i was in the ER like 10 years ago and saw this guy with his eye ball basically hanging out. i was little so i was more amazed than scared for some reason.
My sisters are nurses and they say you can push it back in with a damp towel and not need to come in to the ER
BlasianPrincess lol that would be soooo me
@@itseli2475 that s for the doctor to say ...there could be nerve damage or muscle tearings ....never do that !!!!!!!! Go to the ER and let a professionnal look at it
Delicious
Your optic nerve isnt actually that long so it's not like it literally flips around on your face. As someone who works in Optics I would 100% leaving your eye alone if it does pop out of its socket , cover your eye and go up to the er. Let the PROFESSIONALS fix it. Never mess with your eyes.
My older brother had to have heart surgery at 9 weeks, he wasn’t expected to live
He is 29 and got married two years ago, he is strong and completely heathy!
Happy for you and your brother! 😊
Nurses don’t get enough credit honestly, they do so much!!🙌🏼❣️
Future RN🙌👨⚕️😊
@Danny P I am anointed to be a future nurse too.
God bless her for caring enough to cry over that baby. I think these amazing people care a lot more than we give them credit for.
The girl in the black seems traumatized
Im intrigued on why those people were blue
Could possibly be breathing issues and circulation/heart issues. There are other cases as well such as babies being born when the mom used meds like Ativan or other meds under the benzodiazepine category but a lot of it is like breathing/circulation or heart issue.
Argyria maybe
there is a mixture that cures something and it contains some sort of silver based solution and it dyes the skin purple/blue
maybe they skinny dipped in some blue paint. or yeah...maybe what the others said xD
Maybe methemoglobinemia.
I'm a 6'1 300lb man and I cried when she cried after hearing that story about the baby.. a baby should have nothing to worry about except being happy and growing
Just got accepted to Nursing School a few months ago . _ .

Congratttsssss
yay!!! Congrats! So happy for you! it’s cool that you’re a fellow army💓💓
becky park 💖💖💖
Koala Rizo kpop sisters??
Nurses are awesome. They make everything possible. We as doctors write the orders (sometimes at the request of nurses) and the nurses take care of the rest. They are the shoulder the patients can cry on, they're the ones who give the medicine and the treatments, they take the patients from place to place, they keep them clean and happy, they keep track of how well the patient is doing and make sure to coordinate whatever additional care they need, they are the biggest advocates for the patients' well-being. Everyone in healthcare plays a crucial role but, in many ways, nurses are at the core of making it all work. Thank you for everything you do!
Very rarely did I have a Dr tell me Thank You!
mattgoldfinger that is soo true
I'm thinking of becoming a nurse and this is really inspireing
@@jacobskold5148 MEEE TOOO what major?
Thank you!!!
Nurses are an A+. without them the hospital is pretty much nothing. Thank you guys i love u all.
My heart broke when she cried 🥺
A big round of applause to those nurses, especially the one who had the job with maggots
Harleen Kaur The eating to the bone was so unpleasant. I checked comments just to see if anyone felt weird too
You can actually get sterile maggots TO PUT IN infected wounds and they heal so much faster than standard treatments, it's just up to the patient and if it's something they'd be up for.
ER nurses really are the best. One time I had my mom took me to the hospital because we found a rat ear inside my can of raviolis that I ate and all the nurses were so shook and kept coming in to look at it, they were passing it around lol was pretty funny
Lizz W what brand of ravioli omg
Kiona L chef boyardee! To this day I still can’t eat any lol scarred
Did you sue??
Charlotte Haggerty no and I really wish I did though
Im slow. I read "I found a rat ear in my canal..."
Proud RN here! Its a privilege to witness life and a greater privilege and honour to see someone til the end. Its our job to help people and i think when patients are rude they have to understand that we are human too! We are not punching bags or your water getter. If you are reading this hopefully the next time you have to see a nurse please remember your please and thank yous it definitely goes a long way.
Agree! On the flip side of that, us male patients are kindly asking you female nurses one thing..... could you please stop sexually abusing Male patients when we are unconscious and under anesthesia. Most commonly going up to innocent defenseless unconscious male patients under anesthesia and lifting their gowns up for NON MEDICAL REASONS but to laugh and gawk and sexually humiliate them then further sexually degrade them by gossiping about their genitals even to other women outside the hospital. Or PURPOSELY leaving unconscious male patients exposed when it isn't NECESSARY and having other female nurses who have NO BUSINESS with that patient come in and look
I could go on and on and on with stories. And the female nurses who dont do this stuff but turn a blind eye to the ones that do and dont report them are JUST as complicit, they absolutely would report it if it were male hospital employees doing this to unconscious female patients but they ignore it because its being done to male patients by female nurses.
So ya, can female nurses stop sexually assaulting unconscious male patients. Just remember.... due to the environment EVERY female nurse helped create either by participating in it or ignoring it, allowing female nurses to sexually assault unconscious Male patients, remember that YOUR sons, brothers, fathers, husbands, your best friends sons, nephews have been sexually abused thanks to the environment they helped create. So well done female nurses YOU ALL created an environment that allowed your OWN SONS AND FATHERS to get sexually assaulted by female nurses at hospitals. Good job should be proud of yourselves 👏👏👏
I wondered why my mum never wants to tell me how her day went
2:30 this is heartbreaking to hear. I hope the baby survived😔😔😔
its.thai.nguyen I know. I almost cried.
Doubt it
sad thing is, in order for this baby to survive, another child must have had died... Circle of life I guess...
My sister is a med student and she tells me a lot of stuff that goes on during her nursing internship. Baby organ donors are extremely rare, especially for hearts. The baby probably had a low chance of survival. Because he had a rare cardiovascular condition, it's probably unlikely that they found a match in time. It's really sad... 😞
I put C-Diff on the top of my smell list for sure. That’s a bowel infection that has unmistakeable odor that’ll make u pass out lol
Chris Dooley shits bad dude.
100%. I used be a housekeeper at a hospital and those were the rooms I regretted entering, but it had to be done. After a thorough bleaching it subsided.
Chris Dooley Yeah, that’s bad but I still think GI bleed is worse.
I still think melena smells worse, ive smelled C-Diff and it wasnt as bad
pseudomonas aeruginosa smells way worse
Poor girl, that looked so tragic to remember. I genuinely feel bad for her. She tried so hard not to cry and look professional too!
Nurses, most trusted profession for over 20 years and you can see why
Yessss I’ve wanted to be an ER nurse so badly I just graduated high school this year and that’s still my plan for the future if I can afford school
Mya Joelle you can! Def talk to a university advisor on a path that’s right for you. You can start slowly (cna-lvn-rn-bsn) or maybe loans would be best for you and go straight to bsn! But for sure at least do a cna course to see how you feel about working with patients. There are short cna courses :)
SeYeon Selina if you want to be an aesthetic nurse can you just go straight to rn?
Perla M to be an aesthetic nurse you would need a bsn I believe then after you would need to take some extra classes to learn techniques.
I hope you can afford school! I wish you the best of luck!!!
You should think about getting a job as a nurse tech/aide in an ER-it’ll really give you some good experience and a feel for the job. That’s how I started!

Ohh man. Let’s continue to pray and support these nurses.
Just a stream of tears came down my face when she started crying. I really wish I knew what happened to that baby and I really hope he is healthy and happy
Doctors and nurses are straight up angels.
As a survivor of a near fatal bicycle accident I owe my life to the entire staff at the ER. But one thing these fine people don't get are any updates on the patients they treat.☹
I encourage anyone to return to the ER and praise the workers. It means SO much to them. Because they get no updates from the hospital about the ER patients. Healthcare workers RULE!
Well hopefully i never need to go to the ER, haven't yet, unless to give birth but If i ever do I will be sure to do that.
This is very true. Only one or two times did I have a patient do this, and have not forgotten it.
That's their job, don't forget those psychopaths get paid.
I worked in UK for a while and I can definitely say that English patients are the sweetest lot. They never forget to thank the staff. We used to get e-mails and letters ( yes, the English people still think a hand written letter is closer to your heart than an electronic one). The policy of our hospital was to circulate those letter of appreciation through internal e-mails. Over that, we had a wall in the lunch room covered with 1000s of Thank you cards. Oh, I miss those days.
I am an ESD charge Nurse worse thing I saw is when a 6 yo. Girl that had been ran over by her Mother in an RV at a campground. I'll never forget the Mothers screaming. Ever
Seeing her cry makes me wonder how they feel everyday when patients come in
Any future nurses here?
Present! Thinking about being a Neonatal nurse!
Yup! Future ER Nurse
Hopefully! Interested in ER, ICU or OR! Only in High School right now but I’ve shadowed a family member who is a Nurse and it’s always been my dream job.
here :)
Brazilian future nurse here!
tbh, people think doctors do most of the work, but nurses do the hands-on stuff
dolphindolphy yah growing up with a nurse as a mom, I totally agree. She's hospice now and literally she tells the doctors what to do. The doc will see a patient once the whole visit... the nurse sees them once every hour they are there.
that's why when I watch medical tv shows and the doctor starts an IV or foley, I laugh and laugh and laugh.
except y'know, stuff like the surgeries.
& this is coming from someone who is the equivalent of a nurse, but for our (predominantly) quadrupedal best friends (i.e., dogs/cats & then there's the world of exotics, but that's a whole other story...).
point being, i get the trials & tribulations of nursing. i also agree with yr statement wholeheartedly, because i live it daily.
i still want to ensure that the doctors out there get the respect they deserve as well, although it's refreshing to see so much appreciation for a historically heavily undervalued field of work.
Nurses really do most of the work. Docs write orders you rarely see them actually look at a patient. Now surgeons are another story.
@@nicolevolcy3511 Some are just 'OR' surgeons . Virtually never seen pre or post op. Just verify that they need it, do the surgery, and someone else follows up. I hate those people.
Thank you for still helping us even through these experiences. This job sounds very hard, emotionally and physically, and thank you for still doing what you do.
Can just tell her heart is so pure
Thanks to all the nurses out there.
Nurses are the ones that keep the healthcare system running. They're the ones that truly make the difference.
Aww that was so sad whenever she teared up over the little baby, that's so sad. Thx for all Er workers for having to go through things like that.
The good nurses are so amazing. I’ve meet so many that hate their job, and it’s awesome when they have a huge passion for it !
It was really refreshing to see people who deeply care about the wellbeing of others
oh no when she started crying my heart melted :(
I've worked with nurses more than once, and I have so much respect for them. So essential and yet so underappreciated.
The moment of silence never gets old. It’s real. God bless.
NURSES ROCK! Proud to be one ❤
beaglechen me too!
beaglechen me too...we rock...👏🏼👏🏼
Oh hi there chen.
Yup!! I love it so much that I’m continuing my education to get my MD.
Congratulations! Thanks for making the world better every single day.
If you sees this comments have a great day❤
Kung-Fu Kenny Family you too
U too😁
You too! :)
You too!
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you both and to all the first responders/military. Be safe.
I'm in the ER a lot, and the nurses are so sweet and caring. They constantly remind me that people do care and they are devoted
Nurses are heroes in scrubs!
Stacie Godwin and respiratory therapists. They are angels!
My ex was a nurse back in the 70's and 80's, when they still had to wear white uniforms and hats. At least once a month she would go to work in her uniform and come home in scrubs. I almost never saw those uniforms again and, after a couple of times, I learned not to ask what happened to them.
I've lost several uniforms that way. My Hubby learned not to ask too!
How do they loose them
Jasmin Zamora blood, diarrhea, vomit. Most of the times you can avoid the latter. When a patient is bleed out you tend not to care if your clothes get soiled
Today, Tide gets out virtually every human fluid stain easily, even if it's dried into the fabric. It's been that way for a long time. No more soaking in peroxide.
This really makes me appreciate my mom even more she is a nurse and some of the things she has to go through on a daily basis are crazy. Each day she comes home and just acts like it’s any other day. When in reality she could have lost a patient that day or had to deal with a difficult case. It’s just amazing how strong nurses are emotionally. I know it’s something i could never do. Nurses really do deserve more respect.
2:35 was the saddest thing I've seen, how she just she started crying
I'm thankful to all nurses, they are angels❤️
The girl with the black shirt is so adorable 😭💖
Nurses are a special breed. They are miracle workers, and really special people. Total respect for them!!
The maggot thing made my physically cringe and heave.
Kelsey Wheeler same
Kelsey Wheeler
Maggots eat right to the bone what were the nurses doing ?
It's diabetes. It destroys nerve cells, so it's common for the patient to lose a foot relatively painlessly.
I know that is the stuff that freaks me out. I hate skin/infections. I do not heave but UGGGGGGHHHHH thinking about it is too hard. Maybe I would throw up at that point.
I love nurses, they have helped a few time when I had spinal cord surgery, they were so caring and concerned, I still send them roses on the anniversary of my discharge from the hospital....
Thank you to all the nurses out there. I thank you for your love, compassion, your smile. The snacks you get my kids when they are hungry when it's past your brake. Thank you for taking the time to hold my hand and explain the big words without making me feel uneducated. Thank you for doing all the work and not being scared to stand up to the doctor when he/she is wrong. I thank the Lord for you. My all your family's be blessed and strong with the love and power of the Lord.
Omg when she cried.. definitely someone who was meant to be a nurse. Such a sweet caring person..
Awww, when the lady started to cry about the baby my heart melted
As an ER pharmacist, I'd love to see this channel bring in some pharmacists to share their perspectives on things...
i’m so thankful for nurses, when i was out of my heart surgery and i couldn’t move nurses did everything from feeding me to brushing my teeth to changing my clothes and some other tmi tasks which i can’t ever imagine doing, they’re so under appreciated
You're a female so you're treated great. A LOT of female nurses do some WILD things to innocent defenseless unconscious male patients under anesthesia. Most commonly going up to unconscious male patients under anesthesia and lifting their gowns up for NON MEDICAL REASONS but to laugh and gawk and sexually humiliate them then further sexually degrade them by gossiping about their genitals even to other women outside the hospital. I could go on and on and on and on with stories. It's mostly to unconscious male patients under anesthesia typically post surgery. but even to conscious Male patients. Be thankful you're a female, men endure some CRAZY stuff at hospitals that women would NEVER accept
Nurses are so strong. I really dont think most people realize it. Thank you to all the nurses out there.
I have so much respect for these women. These are the real heroes.
being a nurse is such an amazing and hard thing to do. i cant wait to be one.
Student nurse here! I got to go to the ER for a clinical rotation a few days ago and let me tell you, those nurses are some of the best. They're very on top of things and very aware of their patients. One patient coded the day I was there and they had him resuscitated, ventilated, sedated, restrained, and took an x-ray in less than 20 minutes. They also shared a lot of rectal stories with me. (Please don't stick things up your butt guys.)
LMAO! That last line should be on a bill board on every major street!
It takes a special person to do a job like this! Nurses are amazing they (and doctors of course) help save people’s lives everyday my Aunt is a nurse and she has some crazy stories to tell
Nurses are the true healers in hospitals ive been in the hospital twice ! Once for a heart attack and the five nurses who worked on me when i came in the er were off the hook ! There dedication to do the protocal was amazing ! They saved my life !
Nurses are freaking warriors, like honestly I could NEVER 💜 thank you 💕
I am so appreciative of the important job they are doing.
Doctors just look at the diagram, the nurses are the real doctors in a hospital..
Thankful for all the nurses and doctors that really care for their patients. 🙏🏻
All nurses are incredible. I've had to go to the ER for my mom so many times I lost count and they're always amazing.
How did no-one go and hug that girl whenever I see someone crying I can't help but stop and hug them I'm just a cashier at a supermarket but one time a customer came through and they had just come in from a funeral and I shut off my line and held her for about 2 or 3 minutes just because she was crying and I couldn't not hug her. And I don't mean that in a bad way or anything it's just my instinct like watching this I wanted to like go over and hug her but I obviously couldn't
Bro nurses are everything. Saved my life ❤️
The nurses who care are the ones who go to the deepest part of their minds and the longest aisles of the hospital to help someone, they’re the ones that make the hospital feel like home the ones you never forget cuz they never gave up
nurses are the true heroes of the ER and deserve so much more recognition.
Omg when she started crying i wanted to hug her through the screen!😺
Omg when she cried about the baby. I feel so bad. Poor thing. 😔
Thank you all ladies for your service
Nurses are angels on this earth. They are so underappreciated.
Bless her heart 😊
When she bursts into tears 😢
I think all nurse especially ER nurses are amazing and hardworking people thank you!!!! I once broke my arm and vomited into the bed tray and felt so bad
I admire you so much. You've probably saved so many lives. Just know that you are a hero, especially in a pandemic where no one knows the cure yet.
2:45 ohhh honey, I'm so glad that you care so much for your patients and honestly you are SO strong in ALL that you do. You truly make the world a better place, thank you!!
I am in the ER and hospital a lot because I have several chronic health issues and the one thing that has bothered me the most is that, because my issue doesn’t seem like it is life threatening (based on the nurses lack of knowledge on the disease), a lot of ER nurses treat me like I am a pill seeker or don’t really check up on me or just seem bored because I’m not some person who cut off a finger or something really exciting.
Brandi Munguia if your airway is not compromised or time is not the essence, then you are not priority. That is how triage works.
its called an EMERGENCY room for a reason
Rather than the ER (where people with either LIFE ofr *LIMB-threatening afflictions are supposed to go)... if your hospital has an URGENT CARE section, then maybe you should go there instead?
You should try seeing your doctor or a specialist with your condition more often too if whatever you have impedes your day-to-day life
It sucks that some nurses act like that towards you - you're still someone seeking medical help :(
But yeah. Definitely go to urgent care instead!
The thing you all missed in my comment is that my issues are life threatening. I always end up getting admitted every time I go and having to stay at least a week to get my levels in a healthy range. Not something urgent care could do for me. I get that I am not bleeding out, but I am still a person and the ER I go to is always VERY slow, so there is no reason the nurse can’t come check on me at least once while the dr is waiting on my test results.
You need a follow up with your specialist doctor
Honestly biggest thank you to nurses. From listening to the stories in this video made me realize how important and brave these women are! 💪🏻❤️
the lady that is talking about the baby is so beautiful and soft hearted ♥️
