Nurse Connie from Cleveland,Ohio 13 yr LPN half way thru accelerated bridge and working FT. 100% love and agree with the meme "explaining your work schedule to non-nursing friend" Only my nurse friends and family understand. Everyone else thinks I'm antisocial 😂😂😂😂
been a nurse near 30 yrs and the truth masked in humor that you tell is soooo true in reality! actually, i think it's crazy that nurses take care of humans, but we're not supposed to be human, i.e. no drinks, no snacks......etc crazy night shift rules by the way
Sue’s Home & Life That’s too funny! We used to hide our peroxide in our personal lockers. We discovered that they would go in our cabinets and cite us if it was expired, even though it wasn’t for patient use!-it was just for us to get blood out of our scrubs! We were supposed to keep drinks in our lounge/break room, but working ER & PACU, heck, we never saw the break room! Usually hidden someplace at the nurses’ desk under something or just inside the door to the area where our registrars/financial pple. sat-they were in a “no pt.” area. I had one doc literally throw a complete major hissy fit because I threw his coffee away! (I was told to by my boss because “those who shall not be named” 😂 were in the building!)
Hospice RN here... Man... I DO NOT wish nursing school back for any reason lol Just a shout out to ALL medical persons. Especially CNAs.. We couldn't do our job without you ❤️❤️❤️
There was a staff meeting once and they were telling us about all these new rules we had to follow and this older nurse said why don’t you set us up for success instead of failure 😂😂😂
I am a nurse from Sweden. The no drinking or eating thing does not apply here. We always snack and drink at our desks, wouldn't survive withour it. I print a weekly meme for our work place, Love nursing memes 👌
I have been a nurse for 40 years. I mean I have worked full time for 40, almost 41 years, and you have nailed it! Thanks for making me laugh. Nursing has changed so much since I graduated in 1981, but it hasn't changed at all.....
Watching from western Pennsylvania. I love the nurse memes. I love your positivity and how you absolutely nail nurse life. I’m curious how you ended up in Seattle after living in Florida.
alliemo62 well I’m a full time student full time nurse full time Christian full time wife cook for my husband and take care of the household. Sooo people do it
@Blake You have WAYYY too much time on your hands! lol Remember how you mentioned nurses loving SLEEP? I’m sooo there! I can relate to a lot of these memes. I love having a set schedule, esp. working 12 hr. nights! And inevitably, Mom always calls when it’s my first day off in my stretch and I just fell asleep!
I always apologise to anyone telling to put an IV in me coz my veins are s**t. I was stuck about 7 times for an Iron infusion, I'm the person you need to call an ultrasound for to get a vein
They once had to get an anaesthesiologist to find my vein. After 1 student nurse, 2 nurses and 2 doctors couldn't get any blood out of me. I looked like a pin cushion.
I’m a nurse in an Infusion Center (mostly cancer patients). When we get a patient who’s veins are trashed, we suggest - strongly - they get a PICC (short term) or mediport (long term). Having to stick a patient a bunch of times to start an IV is almost as traumatic for nurses as it is for their patient.
Medical memes are great😂 im currently a junior in high school and im attending a school that has a nursing program 😂 im in the program and i started yesterday. Me and my friends have made like a group chat so we can talk about nursing memes and share notes and stuff🌝
I’m a first semester nursing student. We’re doing midterm check offs next week. I feel like I’m always behind. And tips for getting the most out of the reading material that would be awesome! I swear I read the same page 3 times and am like wtf is this saying?!?! I’m located near Richmond va btw. I love your material, really helps me get through, one week at a time.
Work for the NHS in Nottingham, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 . Watched a few of your videos. I'm amazed that no matter what country where from, we are the same. Only nurses will understand.
I am not a nurse but I work in the medical center in administrative role for over 30+ years and my sister is a nurse practitioner and we carpool to work some days. She introduced me to your channel and I love it. She was talking to me about her work schedule just the other day, funny thing I got it but it took me forever to process it.
I recently got accepted into nursing school after 3 1/2 long years of prereqs (you all know the struggle) and start in the fall! Yay! Although I haven’t experienced some of these memes yet, the way you explain them makes them that much better. 😂 I am a caregiver and went through CNA training though. The “putting on the gloves” meme I can definitely relate to. It’s even worse after putting on hand sanitizer!! It seems to only happen when you’re in a rush. Lol. Also, does anybody ever rip their glove over their watch? I don’t why, but this ALWAYS happens to me. Lol.
I am from Michigan and currently going into my senior year of nursing school!! I love watching your videos to unwind from long days of studying. Your rendition of nursing students after exams had me rolling!
Teachers have weekly staff meetings and there’s always someone that asks a question that requires a university course to answer. I’ve literally cried at the 3 hour mark. I’m in California and we have the Earthquake club. It’s a group of teachers who want to talk about earthquake procedure during staff meetings every. single. week.
This is an incredible video, Nurse Blake! Thank you for making us laugh despite the difficult situations you faced as a nurse. Keep up the good work and stay safe!🙌
I’m literally the dumbest student when it comes to any science subject but here I am wishing I could be a nurse after your videos... Blake you need to take responsibility for giving me unreasonable dreams 😤
Texas checking in here, I went straight into the CV ICU after graduation. LOVE Code memes, first day on the floor walked into a code and my preceptor grabbed me and put me in the code to do compressions. Deer in the headlights MUCH!
You should come to Albany NY summer 2019 so my fellow nursing students and I can come see you as a graduation treat ❤ we've had teachers put your videos up on the projector during class to calm us down 🤣
Blake, love your videos. Thank you for all your videos and lightening my day when it starts to go south. Might see ya at work. Working on the kaiser end of building. 😀
I'm so surprised by how few subscribers you have! I've been watching your videos on fb for quite a while. I love all of your videos! Thank you for the great nursing related content 😁
I’m born and raised in Seattle 🥰🤗 and I spent 5 weeks in the hospital in on First Hill, in late May and June 2023 with septic shock and respiratory failure from MRSA-pneumonia. I was on powerful immunosuppressant medication for rheumatoid arthritis. I got very lucky, I got dry gangrene on my hands and feet, my feet took the worst of the tissue and nerve damage, my hands are mostly numb at the thumbs, which messes with my grip strength. I’m not complaining, I only have one pinky toe I might lose, but my podiatrist wants to wait it out and see what it’s going to do, there still might be some viable tissue under the eschar, which is pretty thick and it just looks like it’s a dead toe. My team of doctors had to use 3 different pressors on me at once because my blood pressure was crashing that hard 😢 it doesn’t help that my normal blood pressure is on the low end at 90/60 , so you see why one reason they had to do this. They put me in a medical coma for 13 days and that wasn’t fun at all because they’d had me on a butt ton of ketamine and I’d never had it for such a long time period before, I’d had it for day surgeries, and I was trippin when they woke me up, I’d have these audio hallucinations like I could hear the ocean waves crashing over rocks, but it was just me trippin on the ketamine 😳 anyhooo, I’m in physical therapy to try to regain my stamina 😢and I’m going through PSS, post sepsis syndrome that my doctor is tracking. One of the worst things I’ve had to deal with post septic shock, is that sometimes it’s a terrifying idea to go to sleep, and sometimes I literally have no appetite, or just the general fear that it can happen again and I’m not going to be able to get back on RA meds for as long as there’s eschar on my toes. Sometimes I feel like Dory 🐠 “just keep swimming, just keep swimming…. 🎶 “
Awesome video 10+! Memes and your channel (girl scouts' honor❤️) help me out of my nursing school meltdowns, etc. so thank you!!! Boston, MA loves loves loves Nurse Blake ❤️
ok, now i know why all the nurses check on my IV, cause someone bragged! "can i just see your IV for a second?" I've always been super easy to get IV, didn't realise it was so difficult for nurses!
I was cracking up at the glove part. Ten years ago I had gullain barre syndrome (it is autoimmune response from an infection and it paralyzes you for about 6-12 months. I had the chair of the department, the attending, my brother “I’m a Dr from Johns Hopkins, name is Tim.” 😆, and my mom (the associate dean of the medical school) and a resident. I needed a spinal tap, and he had just said how easy it would be bc I’m very thin. He completely choked and missed 3 TIMES before chair took over and slid it 8n like butter. I felt so bad for the guy, and 8 was shaking and sweating thinking he would permanently paralyze me missing the tap!
Nurse Connie from Cleveland,Ohio 13 yr LPN half way thru accelerated bridge and working FT. 100% love and agree with the meme "explaining your work schedule to non-nursing friend" Only my nurse friends and family understand. Everyone else thinks I'm antisocial 😂😂😂😂
I am a current nursing student, I love your channel! just a suggestion, collab with doctor Mike and react to medical memes?
Lorraine 19 good idea
Agreeeeee
Yes!! Nurse Blake and Doctor Mike would be awesome!!
or medical series!!! it would be awesome lol
Loooovveee Dr. Mike
My top 3 favs were the glove meme, trying to explain work schedule to non-nursing friends and the supposiflower lol
been a nurse near 30 yrs and the truth masked in humor that you tell is soooo true in reality! actually, i think it's crazy that nurses take care of humans, but we're not supposed to be human, i.e. no drinks, no snacks......etc crazy night shift rules by the way
Omg, the food/calorie thing is so true. I'll take the venti coffee with extra whip, a large pizza, and a dozen donuts to go ... haha
Tuning in from Maina, Guam! Currently on my last semester of nursing school and you’re definitely keeping my spirits up to fight for the end! 🙏🏼😆
Reece Witherspoon. I feel your pain. I meet so many people I’m awful with names. Completely embarrassing.
Love all the memes they are so accurate! Love from Rotterdam, the Netherlands
ME ME ME! Skills check off & my fingers wouldn’t go in the glove where they were supposed to! 🤣🤣🤣 I’ve NEVER had this problem before.
Is it weird that I watch more of your videos than doctor/med student vids and I’m a med student...? You’re just really funny 😂
The person that asks questions in staff meeting that makes it go on and on....7/10
I quit going to staff meetings.
I am the one who ALWAYS fails those damn sterile gloves! Been a nurse 4 years and I still fail when people are watching- I just blame the glove 😂
My favorite was the suppsiflower! Btw, I rarely get the wrapper open that neatly. ; )
My crock pot is my friend. Dips and chips on night shift. In nursing school this year!
This video was so entertaining! Glad to see you uploading.👍🏼💚
Thanks Nataly! I'm on Facebook and Instagram so much... I forget to grow my UA-cam Channel! I'm going to start posting more videos moving forward :)
Am a Nursing student rn and i love your funny ass video's

I’m dying. I’ve been hiding my tea I bring to work daily for last three days in a cupboard and labeled “do not open it it’s broken “ 🤪
Sue’s Home & Life That’s too funny! We used to hide our peroxide in our personal lockers. We discovered that they would go in our cabinets and cite us if it was expired, even though it wasn’t for patient use!-it was just for us to get blood out of our scrubs! We were supposed to keep drinks in our lounge/break room, but working ER & PACU, heck, we never saw the break room! Usually hidden someplace at the nurses’ desk under something or just inside the door to the area where our registrars/financial pple. sat-they were in a “no pt.” area. I had one doc literally throw a complete major hissy fit because I threw his coffee away! (I was told to by my boss because “those who shall not be named” 😂 were in the building!)
Thank you for that!
Hospice RN here... Man... I DO NOT wish nursing school back for any reason lol
Just a shout out to ALL medical persons. Especially CNAs.. We couldn't do our job without you ❤️❤️❤️
CNA here, thank you!
@@nr4363
YOU ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE WORLD OF MEDICINE AND HUMANITY! Thank you so much for the AWESOME job that you're doing! ❤️❤️❤️
CNA and in nursing school 😁 Thanks for the support
Awe... You are the sweetest ❤️ Thank you for the CNA love💕
Former CNA and med aide. Thanks for the acknowledgment!
There was a staff meeting once and they were telling us about all these new rules we had to follow and this older nurse said why don’t you set us up for success instead of failure 😂😂😂
Yep she’s not wrong 😑.
What’s a Reneese?? Haha it’s Reese Witherspoon.
I was dying at the breakfast, lunch, dinner one lol so true!!
I am a nurse from Sweden. The no drinking or eating thing does not apply here. We always snack and drink at our desks, wouldn't survive withour it. I print a weekly meme for our work place, Love nursing memes 👌
Can you imagine the 1960’s when nurses smoke at the nursing station
I love how we stop caring for patients during these staff meetings to talk about how to do a better job. Seems a little backwards
I have been a nurse for 40 years. I mean I have worked full time for 40, almost 41 years, and you have nailed it! Thanks for making me laugh. Nursing has changed so much since I graduated in 1981, but it hasn't changed at all.....
I’m staying up late studying for nursing school and this just made my night so much better😂 🖤
Watching from western Pennsylvania. I love the nurse memes. I love your positivity and how you absolutely nail nurse life. I’m curious how you ended up in Seattle after living in Florida.
Where in PA?
HOW do you find time to:
1. Work fulltime
2. Prepare and upload videos
3. Travel as a speaker
??????????
Major time management skills
Wow
alliemo62 well I’m a full time student full time nurse full time Christian full time wife cook for my husband and take care of the household. Sooo people do it
@Blake You have WAYYY too much time on your hands! lol Remember how you mentioned nurses loving SLEEP? I’m sooo there! I can relate to a lot of these memes. I love having a set schedule, esp. working 12 hr. nights! And inevitably, Mom always calls when it’s my first day off in my stretch and I just fell asleep!
When Friday means nothing to you because you work every Friday and every other weekend...
Yes!!!!
hahahaha---love the calories one and the nursing schedule memes! I work as a nurse, too, and these are SO. SPOT. ON.!!!
Me!!!! The skills check off when you can’t get your gloves on!!!
Ugh, that glove one is spot on 😂😂😂😂!!!! 10/10 for all of them, so funny....... LPN student here, but CNA for 15 years. Love your channel!!
Future nursing student from Ohio! I start this fall in pre nursing
i have been a nurse for 37 years. these are so great Nurse Blake. Love love love it.
I think we work at the same hospital! Unless there is another hospital in Seattle with scone Thursday haha
Hahaha!!! That was probably me! lol I LOVE SCONE THURSDAY!
We don’t have any over at Swedish... let me in on this!! Lol 😂
I'm an Ohio Buckeye Girl.
I'm ER so the entire shift is a moving meme
These are great. Thanks for the giggles
Reese's cousin Rineese, LOLOLOL
Me Me Me I can so relate to the gloves! Loved this video, watching your from Chicago!
I always apologise to anyone telling to put an IV in me coz my veins are s**t. I was stuck about 7 times for an Iron infusion, I'm the person you need to call an ultrasound for to get a vein

I feel for you. Even the anesthesiologists can't find my veins sometimes.

Having to stick a patient a bunch of times to start an IV is almost as traumatic for nurses as it is for their patient.
Lol technically three reactions because there are some that just stand there like that dinosaur in the back
That thumbnail is so true, i can go no breakfast, little to no lunch but when i eat dinner, i eat like its my last supper lol
The student nurse schedule got me cracking up.......greetings from Cape town ,South Africa
Reaction to a code!! The best one!!!! 😆😆😆😆
Joint commission is 10/10!!!! We call it the “ hydration station “ where we’re suppose to drink our stuff...
So glad that I found you!!!!
Applying to nursing school Next Spring 2020. From Boise ID studying Pre Nursing in Maui Hawaii
Alexis Henzle
I work a 3 week rotating schedule for last 10 years my family still can’t understand it!
Medical memes are great😂 im currently a junior in high school and im attending a school that has a nursing program 😂 im in the program and i started yesterday. Me and my friends have made like a group chat so we can talk about nursing memes and share notes and stuff🌝
I once had a nurse “educator” who taught me nothing, literally she never worked with me but harassed me over my water bottle; I was so angry.
I just finished my adn. Looking forward to what’s next😊
Congratulations! I just started and that gives me hope!
Come to HOUSTON,TX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have a pretty big medical center :) We love your videos!!!! On point!

I swear I read the same page 3 times and am like wtf is this saying?!?! I’m located near Richmond va btw. I love your material, really helps me get through, one week at a time.
You are stressed out so you can't focus on the material. I have been there. try to stay calmer and it will go into your brain
Work for the NHS in Nottingham, United Kingdom 🇬🇧 . Watched a few of your videos. I'm amazed that no matter what country where from, we are the same. Only nurses will understand.
REESE Witherspoon.

Omg!! Nurse x 30 yrs ... every thing is sooo true
I'm from santa fe NM I'm graduating in December can't wait to start working as a nurse
I'm a current nursing student and your videos really do describe the nursing student so well 😂 I'm from Cleveland Ohio
I recently got accepted into nursing school after 3 1/2 long years of prereqs (you all know the struggle) and start in the fall! Yay! Although I haven’t experienced some of these memes yet, the way you explain them makes them that much better. 😂

YES the calorie one is my fav!! Just like u said eat good all day..get home and shovel anything i can eat all at once!!
I’m literally the dumbest student when it comes to any science subject but here I am wishing I could be a nurse after your videos... Blake you need to take responsibility for giving me unreasonable dreams 😤
Raleigh NC. You are so funny. I'm a CNA but these are funny.
you can't have your water bottle at your desk? How else do you have time to drink??? No one has time to go to the break room during the shift!
That staff meeting one is so true. No matter where I have worked, no matter the shift or the state, there is always one that can't just be quiet.
Texas checking in here, I went straight into the CV ICU after graduation. LOVE Code memes, first day on the floor walked into a code and my preceptor grabbed me and put me in the code to do compressions. Deer in the headlights MUCH!
Please come to Namibia! I'm delighted to find out that nursing struggles are so international!!! Hehehe
You should come to Albany NY summer 2019 so my fellow nursing students and I can come see you as a graduation treat ❤ we've had teachers put your videos up on the projector during class to calm us down 🤣
Blake, love your videos. Thank you for all your videos and lightening my day when it starts to go south. Might see ya at work. Working on the kaiser end of building. 😀

Newton,Ia. You are so great for nurses young and old. 😍
Awesome video 10+! Memes and your channel (girl scouts' honor❤️) help me out of my nursing school meltdowns, etc. so thank you!!!
Boston, MA loves loves loves Nurse Blake ❤️
ok, now i know why all the nurses check on my IV, cause someone bragged! "can i just see your IV for a second?"
I've always been super easy to get IV, didn't realise it was so difficult for nurses!
I was cracking up at the glove part. Ten years ago I had gullain barre syndrome (it is autoimmune response from an infection and it paralyzes you for about 6-12 months.
