- Reverse goal setting involves first defining your end goal, then imagining the ideal person who would definitely achieve that goal. Figure out what skills, knowledge, etc that person would need.
- Next, assess your current self on those same attributes. Identify barriers holding you back and resources you can use.
- Make a plan to develop the attributes needed to become more like the ideal person. Take small steps using your resources to overcome barriers.
- Spend extra time learning about the goal itself, learning about yourself, and plotting a realistic timeline.
- Improving any one attribute by 1 point on a 10 point scale takes about a month with diligence. Don't try to improve too many things at once.
- If your timeline is too short to reasonably develop the attributes needed, reconsider the goal or accept there will be an element of luck involved.

I'd add two more:
1. Ability to spot dead ends and say "no thanks" quickly.
1. Charismatic leadership: ability to attract people who would benefit themselves most by benefitting or working for your goals first.
Pls. illustrate this theory with some success story + blueprint example of a plan of your own or one of your students. Specifically in a business context. Thanks
this same epiphany came to me the other day. what do I look like when I am successful? what am I wearing? how do I feel? what do I do everyday? what kind of clothes do I wear? Is my room clean? I have changed my habits drastically. Now I am almost solely concerned with my habits rather than my goals. if your life has changed, you are already a success.
So doing exactly what James Clear has suggested in Atomic Habits.
This is an extension of a technique I learnt as a mountaineer. The best way to climb a mountain is to start at the top and find the best way down, that's also the best way up. Picking a random line from the bottom and going as high as you can is likely the end at an impassable section.
I totally agree to your goalsetting theory! Been working in finance for 10+ years, creating a great career, but always had this burning desire to do Psychology and neuroscience. So I spent evenings and weekends reading up on the undergrad in these subjects, and visioning myself studying full time. Now, two years later my dream came true. I am currently an undergrad in applied psychology, going to pursue a full doctorate degree. And I am studying full time, whilst beeing well off financially. My ultimate dream came true 🎉 Never, ever would I have believed anyone who would have told me this five years ago. Another great channel to watch for inspiration to goalsetting and manifestation is Paget Kagy! Even though I love your content to 💯
Hey its Kristian!
Inspiring ❤️🤗
i have that same burning desire! Been working in IT for 4+ years but deep inside always wanted to do Psychology and Neuroscience. I'm gonna apply for psychology degree soon. Have a purposeful and prosperous career ahead!
I’m a nurse and I felt the same way yoy do. I stopped working now and literally transitioning my career. Taking a step back and taking time for myself to heal all the trauma nursing and work interactions has done to me
Do you think that doctors and nurses could be happier if the system is changed? Or at least used properly, around here the understaffing makes life torturous for the ones who are there
I think i’m so relatable to this. I’m a pharmacist and these past 2-3 years had been so stressful and overworking. People kept saying my job is good and helpful for society but I keep feeling like I’m killing myself. I plan to change career soon too, now still working because I still need money. I hope I can work 9 to 5 with something creative and beautiful. I’m sick of seeing sickness. It also seem like this job try to make a robot while I’m just a human.
Same !!
Same. Did ICU nursing for over 15 years. COVID left me and so many others with the trauma of seeing so many die in a short period of time. I decided to leave the ICU bedside and pursue a DNP in psychiatry to help with trauma processing with the reemergence of psychedelic therapy.
Hope you are doing well
To summarize the key points:
Dr. Sung transitioned from a career as a medical doctor to pursuing his passion in education.
He used the reverse goal setting method to achieve his goals.
Reverse goal setting involves:
a. Identifying the desired goal.
b. Imagining the attributes of a hypothetical person who would achieve that goal.
c. Rating and evaluating your current attributes in comparison to the hypothetical person.
d. Identifying barriers and resources.
e. Creating a plan to improve skills and attributes incrementally.
Spending extra time learning about the goal and about yourself can greatly improve your chances of success.
Plotting a realistic timeline for achieving your desired attributes is crucial.
This method can be a useful approach for setting and achieving personal and professional goals.
You left medicine, and you no longer save people's lives with your own hands.
But now you are creating people who are saving people's lives.
So you are indeed saving lives on even a larger scale.
You helped me get into medicine, and I really appreciate that. ❤
I appreciate you! Have a great day
One note on SMART goals.
As a teacher in NZ we've actually just switched to a different variation of it:
SPECIFIC- don't be vague like 'losing weight'. You want to visualise it. E.g. running for 10 minutes everday
MEASURABLE/midpoint- what would be your midpoint &quarter point? How can you see your progress? Getting to 20% of the goal feels a lot more achievable than 100% e.g. walking 10 min=20% , then walk-jogging 40%, then jogging60% jogging faster80%, then running 100%
ACTIONPLAN - what actions will you take to accomplish your goal? 10 minutes walking? 5 minutes walking on a bad day? You choose.
RELEVANT - do these actions help you get closer to your goal, or are you wasting time?
TIME BASED -(not a vague month, a specific date e.g.12/10/23
Hope this helps
Predictions for this 3-Step Framework
1. Imagine the type of person who is able to achieve this medium to short-term goal. (What are the skills, qualities, and attributes they have)?
2. How can you get there? Or in other words what processes can you develop to get you to those skills and goals?
3. Measure yourself and give yourself feedback. Reflect and make improvements to your processes that get you to those skills.
This guyyyyy
Incredible!
How do you suggest a high school student in year 12 should go about choosing a career or what degree to do? Websites like Morrisby don't provide accurate results so should students really don't have many ways to decide.@@JustinSung
There's a legitimate trap here. If your short-term goals only "succeed" if they lead to your long term goals, they will only be recognized as inadequate once you reach your long-term goals. By that point, it's too late to change things. That's how people end up regretting things in your deathbed. It's really common. It's important to apply error correction as soon as you can. You should expect to make many mistakes, both in the steps to achieve a goal and in what you should want in the first place. People suppose that planning is an easy step, but that's far from the truth.
Something interesting I’d like to say about this is that, in recently understanding how my own mind operates, I’ve come to learn the value of ‘necessity’.
I’m still in full-time education at the moment, but frequently my brain literally stops me from making any decisions relating to study because they keep getting denied.
The ones that haven’t been denied and have led to a mountainous amount of progress (relative term) in a short time was when I felt it necessary to do the work.
One of my subjects, I made a million assumptions that made it seem easy. Upon examining the actual work, I found many of my assumptions wrong, but now I have something to work through.
To actually address your point, let the subject I struggled with be the “long-term goal”.
The “short-term goals”, instead of being deliberately planned, arise naturally from the ‘gap’ from my present position to the long-term goal.
Now, I will openly admit this is heavily over-simplistic, and a microcosm of the actual complexities of the challenges I’ve faced through my experience. It doesn’t even come close to ‘the answer’ to anything, but with that in mind, I will claim it’s an interesting observation nonetheless.
To repeat it, short term milestones can arise naturally due to realising the exact necessary to tackle problems separating you from long term goals.
EDIT: I also missed an element of your comment. The trap you identified was deliberately making short term goals to make a long term goal achievable, whereas I’m advocating for moving past the fear and expectations for openly declaring to yourself long term goals and problem solving instead to avoid the trap altogether, but that does require self-reflection and some good ideas to properly contextualise the fears that stop you and move through them properly.
@@Mysteriousmachine1bro , your Observation is ON POINT , and it's not only true to you , But i think it could be useful to a lot of people out there , like myself ; you just allowed me to make my decision.
i've been trying to make a system to achieve a goal that i deemed as necessary and " the first step " , on top of it being hard to achieve in the time limit that i put upon my self , my mind is rejecting it and i don't feel like working on it.
Instead, the goal that i pushed to the high end of the timeline , kept playing in the my head and i feel so energised to tackle it first and am already making progress.
Thanks for the brain that made you comment this observation , it's so real.
@@ShadowZx22 that is bloody awesome, I’m glad my comment helped you!
I will say, I’ve also had systematic approaches like that before, some of those work, others haven’t, but they all give material for me to learn forward steps, which are by their nature being in the future uncertain. Denying uncertainty is a death wish.
There’s really no guideline for first steps that’s worth operating in the boundaries of, just decisions that may or may not work out. Either way, moving forward is still uncertain, but you get something out of that decision. Anyway, that’s my ramble over.
By the way, that mind rejection and time limit stuff is perfectly normal. My experiences with life can attest to that big time. Just putting that out there.
@@Mysteriousmachine1 Right. Necessity is great, but I would still prefer interest, if I have the option. Necessity can bring bias towards making impulsive decisions for some people. Good that it clears your mind, though. You must be good at the divide-and-conquer perspective. A problem focused approach is good for finding solutions. My comment was more trying to point out that these solutions are fallible, however natural they seem. In fact, even the understanding of the problem, or the goal, is fallible and we should keep trying to correct it, as best we can, and not only in the long term.
@@artur-rdc I 100% agree on the point of fallibility. The moment any idea becomes infallible, people’s entire livelihoods and future are at risk.
But I want to be precise about necessity. What I’m referring to is not incompatible with interest. You can have an interest in a certain goal, but that interest or more generally initial motive becomes the very foundation for action. But the actions that are taken are done out of necessity to actualise that interest or initial motive, if that makes sense.
I don’t have a better word from it to separate it from the necessity that is there to drive action due to external forces where interest is absent.
Omg you JUST described my fall from grace as a social worker. I'm a healer. But there are So many ways to heal. Helping people to sculpt their own life as THEY wish it to be IS THE PERFECT PRESCRIPTION for true well being!!
Good for you and the people you reach and teach!!❤

Bahahaha you nailed it. Best summary yet.
LMFAOO
Justin you can't imagine how much I learned and improved from your youtube content since last year. Your effect is undeniable. I always appreciate and grateful of your effect in my life.
Thanks for making my day with your comment!
You are literally an answered prayer. So blessed as a people to have you!❤😊
A synopsis of reverse goal setting from the video. TLDW
Identify Your Goal: Start by determining where you want to end up. This could be a long-term or medium-term goal, preferably something that's at least six to nine months away.
Imagine the Ideal Person: Visualize a hypothetical individual who is perfectly equipped to achieve this goal. This person possesses all the skills, attributes, knowledge, and assets that make achieving the goal inevitable for them.
Rate the Ideal Person: For various attributes (like time management, business acumen, etc.), rate this ideal person on a scale of 1 to 10. Also, provide specific comments on what each rating means.
Evaluate Your Current State: Using the same attributes, rate yourself and provide comments explaining your ratings. This helps in understanding where you currently stand in relation to the ideal person.
Force Field Analysis: This step involves identifying barriers that might prevent you from becoming the ideal person and achieving your goal. On the other side, list down resources that can help you overcome these barriers. Resources can include tangible items, time, money, and people you have access to.
Create a Plan: Based on the force field analysis, devise a plan focusing on immediate next steps. These steps should help you use available resources to overcome identified barriers. The goal is to incrementally move closer to becoming the envisioned ideal person.
You forgot the final 3 extra points that are make or break!
Your story resonates with me. I’m a U.S. doc and the massive debt (250k plus 6% interest) whose unpacking the same challenges but stuck / the golden handcuffs of the profession.
The system is broken and what healthcare needs to heal is to remember the humanity but it’s so chronically disrupted that I realized as one doc I can’t change the system.
Not sure where I stand but I made small steps to begin exploring an exit. Decreased hours, rediscovering myself, and exploring other paths like public health. What makes the exit hard is the debt that I need to pay off first and the sunk cost fallacy.
Thanks for your story and being brave to change the narrative!
My girlfriend completed her interventional cardiology and internal medicine residency and is now staff, working in unbelievable conditions (the humanity of patient situations with sometimes surprisingly/unpredictably limited resources, and over 28-, 50-, 72-hour days [usually with a couple of/few hours' sleep]).
I hope to offer some support, of I may:
- Locums might pay well, and offer both the intense practical development and skill maintenance, while also requiring learning & adapting to various levels of quality & complexity of billing, toward being paid, and initially-unknown coworker environments... But, being asked to return for kore locums can be welcoming and an antidote to perhaps an expectation of toxic peer/manager relationships (gaslighting, etc.), and a great way to find an environment that either feels like home, or that actually fosters helping their system grow up a little (or a lot, despite some internal push-back). A string of locums can help bring excellent perspective that feels useful and can be desperstepy needed and have serious traction from mature, improvement-minded allies who see what the locum can bring from elsewhere.
- Maybe you can set up your own practice. Like have your own echo machine, or whatever, and receive a clinic's internist referrals & follow up with those patients as your own. You could potentially set healthier hours, to help meet your own biology & psychology's needs *heart emoji*
- These could help finance more specialized certifications and skillsets, to help complement and cement your short-term and mid-term goals, as next-steps: Traumatic intubation skills or whatever that cpurse is called; Functional medicine, if that speaks to you; ECG-interpretation week-long intensives at continental-class centers, for example... toward helping you design your practice and get closer to helping yourself help others, in less-abusive situations/scenes/centers, one step at a time.
I hope that my being direct was suportive and not ex.: arrogant. This last year post-fellowship has been both traumatic and therapeutif cor my woman, and I couldn't help but 'overhear' what you'd [surface-level] said about your experience.
You got this- There are allies out there who can support your vulnerability without exploiting it, and you can both have the impact you want for [unpredictably!] increasingly-large microcosms within the healthcare system, and for patients, and for yourself in the world.
"Hugs offered."
Thank you Justin, you are the goat & I mean it, the concepts and the knowledge you share are the real deal, for years I've been studying a lot of complex things and somehow I instintively did some of your techniques, but the way you articulate and structure all this... Next level. It's a pleasure learning from you.
So much respect for not just resigning yourself to a life that made you miserable and choosing to do this instead. There are no straight lines in nature, and this was def the route you were always meant to take to get here 🤗
Nice shift in perspective from working on the goal, to working on being a person capable of that goal.
This forces us to think through more clearly the skills, knowledge, mindset, etc that are in harmony with that goal.
That’s helpful how you explained it. Thank you.
I used this differently myself. I use it to scare myself to not be lazy by first estimating what I need to be guaranteed not to be stressed by bills in my retirement, including all possible pitfalls like early illness etc. and this makes me have more ambitious goals in the 2 year or 10 year range to accommodate all risk management. You could use other end goals but being stressed about bills through my retirement really scare me so it works well for me.
I have heard this technique before but it was never broken down! Thank you for explaining the steps! You are a great teacher! 👍 😊❤
wow! i have exam in 60 days .. even if i study for 20 hrs i cant complete 50% of what exam demands (it is a competitive exam where 10 lakh sit and 5k qualify) i said my friends i am skipping my exam and from today i will prepare for next exam systematically because i dont want to waste this 2 months on doing some random things which might not be useful in long term.. every one said am stupid i was in stress and complete dilemma now am happy and clear i will skip this and rock in next exam...
Just by researching about a goal that I am currently working on, I came across the intersection I was looking for. This was very helpful.
Thank you
It's my luck today! I got to watch this video. I am 2 months away from exam and I know that i am lacking in the most of skills.. So I decided to reconsider this goal and not to waste my present time. I told this to my family.. They said I've lost my brain and I don't have any clarity over my life which made me feel depressed ofcourse. Now that I watched this video to the very end I am so glad that I took a great decision and I am going to smash it in the next attempt for sure. Thankyou so much.
Great points Justin. From experience, I think there are 2 stages here. The first being, dusting off the learning process for those that are not "students" as there are some steps required to re-energize sections of the brain for the process of learning. Once learning is established, then it's possible to begin the techniques to progress. The reverse goal setting is useful, but for a lot of people they do not really understand the end game, so establishing that model goal is difficult. Learning about yourself and learning to observe are super important prerequisites. Also I think that understanding the barriers is a great place to spend time. Thanks for the video
Wow! This is true and you articulate it precisely! I paused a lot to add it to my goals plan. I love this video! Ty 🌈💫
Oh wow. You just perfectly described how I just felt last month when I decided to quit medicine as ab young resident in Germany.
I love being able to help people. But as soons as I was losing my SELF it was game over.
This is definitely a different way to look at things, taking notes now! Thanks Justin.
I like this guy! I have nothing but respect for Dr’s that not only handle there shifts and learning the job but also have time to develop other areas respect!
My family is my only barrier. But they are my only provider.
These contradictory situation really drains me out each and everyday. Everytime i motivate and discipline myself something heart wrenching happens and i become an obedient little doll, a shell of a human with no thoughts or focus just focused on surviving.
I dont even know anymore
Great video. Thanks. My goal is to survive and thrive long term with stage 4 cancer, without conventional treatments that are way too harsh for me and the life I want. And then share my healing with the world to help others heal. The path is not clear-cut. So reverse engineering the goal would be filled with guesses. Man, this is challenging!
Wishing you good luck and a long and happy life x
Look up Prof Tim Spector if you haven't already found him. Everything he says is backed by extensive long-term research.
hi. thanks for sharing, Justin. leaving medical profession sometimes leave me in confusion state.. so inspired to see your clear statement changing career direction
Watching you for the first time, I am disabled and don't have much money. I am tired of wasting my life and accomplishing nothing.
I'm glad you went from a doctor to a real job. You know, something that's actually useful and helps people.
Mold yourself to be the perfect candidate for the job, person, or thing you want and pursue that - not the things along the way. Got it👍🏽
I loved this one and I actually shared this with my short term goal planning students because it gives perspective.
Justin, your content is quite amazing!! REALLY APPRECIATE IT!
Thanks for what you do, Justin
Thanks for the comment and support :)
The US Army(and probably other Branches) have taught the “Backwards Planning” method in Leadership schools for generations:) Both NCOs and Officers.
I can try to look through my old reference materials from schools to find you something in black and white for you to compare methods :)
Hi, is there a way you can send me that (if you found it of course) that would be much appreciated
Ah that's cool. Yea I don't know where I was first exposed to the principles.
Oh please share! I would love to see those.
Same with the British Army. And yet it seems not to be taught to civilian project managers as a basic technique, many often caught out by not allowing enough time and resource for the final steps. MS Project is rather clunky when you try to use it that way, something of an avoidable deficiency
I think some used to call it Scenario Planning which is a bit different way of looking at strategy. It looks at various disparate end-states, purposely different and representing a wide range of possibilities or outcomes. It then sets up sequential trigger points (different for each outcome) that would need to occur before each of the individual end-states can happen. So it can be about reacting to potential futures as they unfold (not forecasting per se, but close) if you have no control. However, if you do have some resources to control and you want a certain outcome you could steer or manipulate the triggers so that it is more likely.
I am a French emergency doctor and I agree So Much!!!! I am now trying to start a new business myself. If ever you come to Paris, I would be delighted to talk to you! Thank you for this video. It really inspires me.
A lot of good information from a structured, self reflected mind. Thank you! I think this will help a lot of people - so go on like this, please! 👍
This was pretty amazing. Great job!
Doing this, and already this is ridiculously good.
This is actually brilliant. I love this lol.
I am a special ed teacher. I could really relate. As a sped teacher, I can make a profound difference in the lives of a child and their family. This is my 30th year in education and I've literally taught grades 3 - 12, been a university professor and researcher for 10 years, a diagnostician, and am now back in the high school setting where I can work with kids and teach them that they are valuable human beings just as they are and that their future is in front of them. There is a tremendous amount of paperwork, red tape, and administrators who are always looking over my shoulder. I hope that by following your methods, I can renew my energy and fortitude to keep my career strong. I am also an empty nester and am living alone for the first time in 30 years. So, thank you. Thank you for your transparency and for sharing your strategies. Peace.
Wow, reverse goal setting. Thank you for sharing
Wish I had this video years ago! Thanks for this Justin! 📝🙌
This is basically Psycho Cybernetics:
1. Imagine the end result of your goal
2. Take action towards it
3. Engage your successes and focus on the positives and discourage your failures and negativity
4. Repeat
Loved this. Subscribed!
Totally support your decision to leave. I felt the same way in formal education system. All the best to you!
cool to see how he effortlessly makes a very good mini-mind map for/while explaining the concept
Could you please bring a video on how to learn technical subjects faster specifically? Where you have problem solving involved and actual algorithms to remember for problem solving? It would be very beneficial.
Thank you for the videos you're making they are helping me so much!
I too need the same. Thanks for this comment.
@@RameshKumar-ng3nf 👍
This. Most of what Dr. J says focuses on med/psych/accountancy. Mostly text type of stuff.
@@no.8176 Yes that's why I commented this, he's a learning coach so probably he can help in that too.
you need to use the skills
The way you describe yourself at the beginning of the video is how I feel at the moment.
Thank you for helping me become the person I've always envigizd myself to be!
Thank so much for what are you doing, I'm a dentist, I'm already so tired, you motivated me❤
While usually not accessible for very long, there's also the quasi-meditative state of having no specific goals at all. No particular planning or thoughts about unfulfilled wishes. Just calm and satisfied with the situation as it is already experienced in the moment.
Liked, subbed, and commenting specifically due to the epic way you "dad joked" the request to do so. Made me smile in a place only the best dad jokes trigger... well done sir! 👏
Dr. Sung you’re right sometimes I wished I had 2 red lines instead of 1! Thank you for this content!!!
Thank you for the video as always!
And the lighting and setting are stunning this time. The production value has improved so much compared to the videos I have watched when I first encountered your channel.
Haha yes I've been trying to take UA-cam more seriously over the last couple months
1.Define your goal. Where do you want to be?
2.Find someone who has done it before. Learn about the skills the ideal person has developed to achieve that goal. Imagine the person who can achieve this goal as yourself.
3.Evaluate your current state. Where are you now?
4.What are your barriers? What prevents you from learning the skills, what stops you and prevents you.
5.How do we create our plan? What resources do we have at our disposal now? Then split these in really short term goals: what can I do in the next days, then weeks?
You can use SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-based)
Thank you. I am a creative, and I really really really needed to hear your strategy. This will help.
great content and very likable personality with great sense of humor - of course I liked and subscribed :D
Great video and great content Doc!🎉
Well, this is basically what Russell Ackoff described in the 70s as idealized redesign and what got invented at bell labs in the 50s and what we picked up in 2009 and called Toyota Kata. Because this is very close to how Toyota trains and educates their people.

Great content, thanks Justin, you are awesome!
Thank you so much, Justin!
Excellent video and great teaching style. Thanks so much.
I live by the Mediterranian. I am glad you discovered it!
I feel the same way in the education system as a teacher, that you did in the medical field as a doctor. The system crushes everything out of you, and you know you cannot do what is best to actually help the students sitting in front of you. (Add on that I have a Master's degree, and 14 years experience, and STILL make less than 50k a year). I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, now I am just looking for a way out.
Nice video. The book "The Twelve-Week Year" goes well with that approach. Also, Cal Newport's ideas on quarterly planning.
Came here to say Cal Newport describes lifestyle-centric career planning, where you imagine the lifestyle you want, then work backwards to find out what you need to do career-wise to achieve it. I think this is in his book .
I appreciate you sharing your insights.
Thank you for your experience and thank you for sharing your knowledge! 🤗
apply appropriately. not all goals need this INDIRECT approach
Great points you made! I was wondering if you could mention in a future video your take on learning anatomy and physiology? I’m finding it really hard to make relationships since most of the material seems like it can only be learned through memorization and repetition.
This is literally what I'm doing
All thanks to hamza he always used to say in his videos
Think about u can do it and then think about how u can move forward and become better at it instead of thinking u can't do it😊

Be careful what you wish for...is a phrase that is most applicable to striving for a goal.
This goal-setting framework heavily makes you a growth-mindset person and also pulling you out from the fixed mindset
6:42 appreciate your honesty you're developing an idea that isn't new - but it is one significance that I think there's plenty of room to articulate it in an original way...
Thank you Justin you’re literally a life saver
Wow, this is spot on for me!!!
Would love to watch a video where you dig more into the the thought processes, driving forces, fears, obstacles etc during the transition from junior doctor to entrepreneur.
I thought about doing this but it wasn't a very popular idea for video. I still want to make it one day.
Loved the video for the clarity!
You're so welcome!

Thanks for sharing! One thing that I would like to hear also is when to quit! I would suggest book The Dip on this topic
You changed your life in less than one year☺️
This is a very helpful video, thank you for sharing it
This is great. Reverse goals setting was popularised by Brian Tracy in 80s.
brilliant dude! thank you

Awesome to hear that, some BIG updates coming very sooooon ☺️
I feel what you mean about not being fulfilled in the healthcare system. It just seems like so much is working against us, being short-staffed and not having time to do the best job we know we could do if we had the time. I would love to be able to spend that extra 5 minutes chatting with a patient and really delving into their concerns, but the time is just not there, you always have to think about the next task and the next next task. And then there's the crap sugary hospital food which in all honesty probably delays healing, and the overreliance on medications to fix everything when a lot of things would be helped with more activity and a healthier diet (and quitting smoking for God's sake). I'm looking to get my experience in the hospital and get out to start home care nursing and maybe start my own home care company down the line where I could really help my community and make sure I take care of my staff and hire enough people, so we have the time and energy to give that great nursing care we learned in school.
Nurses get the ultra ultra ultra ultra short and sharp end of the healthcare stick. For real.
The way you talk to the camera is inspiring, its like youre one of us and youve already been through the experiences so you know how to delicately articulate your points in ways a viewer could not be on the defensive. Such a helper and givinig person , pog champ
: )
Great channel Justin!
Less shorts, more of these practical videos!
Sadly I believe the shorts are now part of the contract with the platform.
I work at a marketing agency and I resonate deeply with this
