    I once had a patient on a psych ward who thought that I was her Aunt. She would call me Auntie V everyday. One day her Aunt V came to visit her and I saw the reason: the lady looked like me. We are in no way related. There is a saying that everyone has a twin; I believe it.
    I had another patient on that same psych ward who noticed when I stopped wearing my wedding ring after my divorce. One day she could not keep herself anymore from wondering, so she asked me, about my wedding ring. This touch my heart and made my day. My patient cared about what was happening in my life...this is why I do nursing.❤❤

    I honestly think that nurses and CNA’s deserve to get paid a lot more. I was a CNA for three years and I saw a lot of stuff and I was just in a nursing home. Couldn’t imagine what you see in the hospital.

      Don’t nurses do the majority of the work? Every time I got to the hospital I see the doctor for maybe 5min,.. the rest of the time it’s the nurses. So I don’t understand why they don’t get paid the same if not more than the Doctors

      @@reneegabbard6437 yes nurses usually tend to do more work than the doctors. The CNA’s do more work than the nurses. It just depends on where you’re at. I can a nursing home setting CNA‘s definitely do a lot more work than the nurses do at least with what I’ve seen. I am used to work with nurses that would come in and say oh this resident needs a drink and I would have to stop what I was doing and go get a drink for them because the nurse just couldn’t take five seconds to go do that.

I've been betrayed big time by a company that i had been with for 8yrs and seen its growth. that was 2017 yes..from time to time i had contractual jobs only. & fam don't like it. idk if im healing or if im traumatized but as filo need to go on even if i dont feel good with the contract work that is offer just to bring money on the table. no one cares, bcoz we got our own struggles. listening to your podcast is like you taping my back for being able to be still here.

    i love this podcast! it is helping me a lot. i'm generally afraid of nurses and doctors.
    i'll share my story but a trigger warning for poor medical practice, and the issues us, bit chubbier women, face when going to the doctor.
    Im from an eastern european country, where the beauty standard for women is being as thin as possible, as underweight as possible without it affecting your health too much, should i say, i've always been bigger, not obese but defenetly abit overweight. My family made my life hell for it growing up, always took me to every doctor in our city to look at me and figure out what was 'wrong' with me. I've had doctors of both genders poke me everywhere, telling me that i stink because i'm so fat, even got ''diagnosed'' with obesity (i was never obese, i was at most 5-10kg overweight) by multple doctors and nurses were always rude to me, always felt like they didn't believe me with anything,always felt that they were rough when administering medicine and other things (i was hospitalized a couple of times because of, mostly male, doctors insisitng it was needed because of my weight???). I had this male doctor poke my cheek and diagnose me with obesity because it jiggled and that im abnormal.
    I have been living in the uk for 7 years now, seen doctors here that helped me, diagnosed me with pcos, the source of my struggles with weight and other issues, I've found out that Im autistic aswell, which explains alot of those ''diagnoses'' doctors back then gave me (i have plently, just none made in a professional way) . Those people back then, the doctors, nurses, and my family instilled in me a fear of medical staff. I've been fighting eating disorders because of them my whole life since. But I know that good people are out there and it takes a big heart to work in the medical field. This podcast is helping me alot in my own way to process and even maybe forgive those horrible doctors and nurses I had to deal with.
    --
    another story i have, maybe more related to working in a medical place.
    last year I worked in a care home, as a house keeper. I thought I could manage it, but I should have known better. I love helping people, I was completely ok with helping residents with their space, helping them clear clutter, getting them fresh bedsheets, I know it helps alot with someones mental health if their space is clean. Before then I worked as a hotel house keeper and I never felt satisfied, I wanted to help people in a more meaningful way. I understood what working in a care home entails, I understood that the residents have varying issues and that it would be difficult sometimes but I wanted to explore this opportunity. First bad sign for me was that the nurses always looked down on us, the cleaning staff, which did not help with my own issues and fears. Sharing the lunch/break rooms with them always felt bad, they made no effort to at least conceal their dislike for us. Very blunt, would not even return the ''hello'' when one of us entered the room trying to be polite and just take our break.
    On my 3rd day I was asked to go and vacuum a room on the dementia floor. I went there (alone, as we were understaffed that day, and the veteran housekeepers chose to do ''the laundry'' which was just them sitting around a washing machine talking), they used ''being understaffed'' as justification. Being autistic, I simply didn't see the bigger picture and i often assume people are honest and take it at face value. Anyway I get to the room, and the patient is there, sitting on the egde of her bed, it was an elderly woman, maybe 75+, she was crying about wanting to go home to her family, and not wanting to be there. As per my training, I have to ask the resident of the room if it is ok for me to come and clean it, and clearly communicate what I would be doing, get their consent etc. She told me she didn't want me to clean her room, and she didn't want to listen to the vacuum, she wanted her nurse to tell her when her family would visit. I respected her wishes, I took a glance at the room from the door and the room didn't really even need cleaned or even vacuumed, it was a fine room. I left to find her nurse, again, I have trouble not taking things at face value, and I also wanted to help her, it wasn't my job or responsability to find her nurse but here I was. It wasn't too hard but the nurse was really rude to me and told me to ignore her because this is the dementia floor and the residents here often have these outlandish requests. I had trouble understanding, how the old woman's request was outlandish, but I left it at that. I had other rooms to clean and I was pretty much having to do it alone as I said before.
    At the end of the day I'm giving my report to management, we had to report what rooms had been cleaned that day etc etc. I told her and she asked me why I hadn't done that elderly woman's room. In my report I wrote down what the elderly woman said to me, but I, again didn't understand her tone or intention. So I repeated it. Repeated that during training I was told the resident's consent is crucial to me cleaning their room and the old woman did not give me hers etc etc The manager screamed at me over it, and told me that on the dementia floor it doesn't matter, the rooms on that floor have to be cleaned daily. I understood this but I told her that's why I checked the room from the door and it looked clean. But the manager wouldn't have it, she didn't even want to go check the room herself or anything. She just screamed at me and told me it's unacceptable. That was before my weekend. I came home and sat on the floor and shut down for most of the day. Between the nurses being mean to me triggering all this trauma I never even processed, Feeling bad about management asking me to ignore resident's consent, feeling bad for that poor old woman, and just thinking of eveyrthing else I had seen that day, especially on the dementia floor, I walked in the next Monday with my uniform folded in my hands, I sat it on the manager's desk and I walked out, my autism preveneted me from making myself very clear but I think it was clear enough and I was done. I wanted to help people feel better, not ignore their wishes for the sake of vacuuming a room that didn't even need it, making them feel worse. My old job took me back no questions asked.
    This podcast is helping me see the good in medical staff, like I said, I fully believe it takes a big kind heart to be in the medical field, I've just had bad luck it seems.

(And I’ve been to over 100 doctor’s appointments a year for the past 4 years lol I basically live in healthcare😂) And I just have to say, nurses deserve SO MUCH more money! My nurses were absolutely incredible! The hospital I went to is in the top 250 hospitals in the country so they were actually fully staffed which was amazing and I know they’re probably at least decently paid there, but still!! Those women were effing GODSENDS!😭 so I’m here watching out of solidarity lol.

    I guess, I should also share a story that happened at my workplace. (This happened during the day shift, when my colleague was on duty)
    One of the residents complained that she was experiencing bowel movement difficulties. So, my colleague inserted a suppository, and gave her lactulose syrup and sennosides to help her pass motion. Later that evening (during night shift), she complained of abdominal pain. So, instead of alerting the nurses/the care staff, she used her own phone (yes, she has her own phone that her children gave to her) to call the POLICE. 😂 And guess what, the police came and after some discussion, police came up to the ward to talk to the resident. Resident explained that she was abdominal pain, and hence called the police. 😅 After hearing this, the police went like, "...Huh...???" The police then explained to her that if she was having any issues, she can always alert the nurses. Resident heard this and said, "Orh.", then went back to sleep... 🤣

      I have been a veteran nurse for 35 years as an LPN. I have many MANY STORIES. I could write a book. Here are two that are my favorite. When I was in clinical rotation, we always watched one, do one, demo one. The day before, my professor showed me how to do trach care. So this was my day to do one. My teacher decided to make one of my fellow nurses watch me. So I was on one side of the bed. My colleague was on the other side. My professor was at the end of the bed watching. So I am doing care, and I was at the end, and I needed to suction him as my last step. I went down, and of course, he started coughing. All of a sudden, he coughed up a mucous plug, and it flew out and directly on the top of my professor's head. My professor vomited and left, and as she walked out, she said class is dismissed leave now. To this day.. I can handle vomit, crap, blood, and every nasty wound, etc. BUT!! I can not ever deal with sputum. I will gag every time. Anything. With spit is just automatic gagging. I have to cover the canister of sputum on the wall to change it. Or I will puke. Sooo gross! 😂😂
      My second story, again it was my very first job out of nursing school. I had a very serious IV drug user. He had injected in his right arm so much he had like an opening, and it had become seriously infected, and it was full of pustulate. This butt head of a doctor who looked down on me because I was a "green" nurse. He grabbed me and said, "Get the patient ready. I am going to do a bedside I&D" So I did just that. I put out a gown, gloves, face shield, surgical hat, and booties. I put my set on and the doctor walked in and literally laughed at me in full gear. He said , " Isn't that like overkill?" I just said that you should always protect yourself. I pointed to his set of PPE. He grabbed just the gloves and said that was all he would need. He took off his suit jacket.. yes, I said suit!! So he is explaining and numbing him, etc. So he cuts this abscess open, and it literally drains every gross color out. It smelled like death! I have never seen so much pus and just infected debris. It finally gets to the end, and the Dr. He wants to clean out the huge cavity before he packs it. He asks me for a 60 cc syringe of full strength peroxide. So I drew it up and handed it to him, and he said make another as he was using the one I handed him. So I do a second one. About half way of the first, he shoots it in this cavity and holds it down with his hand and grabs the second, and does the same. He holds it like 3 minutes and he let's go and the pressure behind his hand was soooo great. The fluid sprayed EVERYWHERE! WALLS, CURTAINS, CEILINGS, PATIENT AND ALL OVER ME AND ALL OVER THE DR. because he lifted his hand so the opening was towards his face, and he wanted to look at it. Yep!! You guessed it. All over his face, eyes, mouth, hair, and suit everywhere on this doctor. The patient started laughing so hard, and he told the doctor. Who the ass now and don't ya wish you overkilled it? As he the PPE on the end off the bed off the bed. So now I have to call the hazmat team to come and decontaminate the room. I put the patient in the shower and cleaned him up. Packed his wound and then doffed off my PPE. I left the room. About 2 hours later, the Dr came back to the unit in hospital scrubs, and you can tell he showered, and he handed me a huge vase of flowers. He said sorry. Then he wrote to do every test in the book. HIV, Hepatitis etc. On the patient. Unfortunately, our patient had HIV and Hepatitis A. I never got it, I can't say that for the Dr. He died about 2 years later with full-blown aides. The hospital denied his workers comp claim because he failed to do the correct procedure.

    What's shocking is that I think my mom told me something or so about a patient coding when she use to work at another hospital😧. It's always stories for days when my mom comes home from working in hospitals and/or healthcare units😂😂. Also, my mom works at the VA and boy... She has stories for days from there too😂😂! Weird ones, funny ones, crazy one and just in general. It's a joy whenever I ask my mom how work went and she goes "Chile😧😮‍💨!"😂. I already know she's about to tell me the crazy time she had😂😂. I'm over here saying "Oh boy. What happen this time👀😂?"
    It's the best😂. But yeah. These things aren't a joke. I should know personally from a very young experience. I won't go into detail. But it was something only I think I saw alone, but still remember vividly til this day. Other than that. The way you put your short videos. You can't help BUT laugh😂😂💖!

    I’m a recent widow 37 with 3 small kids my husband was in ICU with liver disease and on life support I let my kids say hi to there father and that they love him over the phone about an hour later of being there I was ask to go get food cause he needed
    Dialysis i walked out of the room and this nurse whispered to me he was waiting for you I was puzzled cause I’ve never had seen this nurse before cause his passing was so quickly and sudden as soon as I made it outside I received that call that changed my life after they let me say my goodbyes to him his icu nurse came inside the room to give me his personal belongings i was so shocked I asked her how she knew she grabbed my hand n told me patients usually hold on for some reason! My question why didn’t the doctors and nurses let me know he was on his last breaths 😢yes he was on life support but if they felt he waited till I came to pass why was I asked to leave for dialysis did he wanna pass alone ? 😢

    Some families don’t have such close contact… so it’s not a surprise that you might not know, especially if it was sudden, that your grandfather was even in the hospital (I rarely answer my phone at work unless it’s a text, and y’all know how long and busy nurses shifts are) so like someone may have tried to call him and he didn’t answer or maybe nobody even knew in the family if it was an emergency and he didn’t have like a phone with emergency contacts on him or whatever.
    Side tangent, we had a guy have a seizure at work and it took us an hour to deal with the police and medics and then to try and find his emergency contact info in our work system… so if he had a heart attack or something like while out shopping or even while like home alone or whatever it could’ve been awhile before someone found out who to call and he could’ve been gone already by the time anyone was informed. Especially if it wasn’t the unit he was on, which I think she said was MedSurg so definitely not ER, Trauma, or Crit Care so good chance it wasn’t one of the patients he was working with in that scenario.

    Trust me when I tell you all, full moon working a psych ward is a whole other level. Plus we don't have security, we are the security ... because we're nurses, we're expected to fix everything!! Our only option for support is to phone the police, but that may trigger other patients and if the police take your patient you're expected to send a staff member as an escort so you're a full staff member down all damn shift... so we seldom call them and just have to handle it.
    Some times we scrape through a shift on nothing more than Lorazepam, haloperidol in addition to hopes and dreams.... restraint is avoided at all costs but I for one have spend hours of a night shift laid on the floor in restraint with a very unwell patient just to keep them safe from themselves.
    We laugh so we don't cry.

    8:42 If someone is telling you that you are “abandoning” something because you have to take care of something in your personal life, you should remind them that a drowning person cannot help another drowning swim- if you yourself or a family member are having an active crisis event, how in the world would anyone think you would even be worried about anybody else?

    Haha I also have a story.
    So I was working in a OCD unit.
    Three patients decided to go for burgers.
    The girl was bolemic + self harming compulsion, Guy 1 had obsessive thoughts generally, Guy 2 had obsessive thoughts on sexual interaction and was completely disgusted about anything sexual.
    So....these three decided to go for burger....they went there by taxi.
    The burger restaurants was located next to a strip club.
    Guy 2 did not want to get out of that taxi, and when forced smashed Guy 1 in the face and made a run for it.
    The sight of the strip club was just too much for him and felt dirty just by seeing it.
    Guy 1 ran after him trying to get him back.
    The girl just was so done with the whole situation and got five burgers on her own, because of her eating disorder she vomited it all out again though.
    So.....about 6 hours later all three arrived back at the ward, Guy1 with a black eye carrying a sleeping guy 2 who was missing his shoe and the girl with vomit all over her eating her take away burger.
    What a sight I tell you. They all got into serious trouble for this escapade.
