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 😂😂😂
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 ❤️❤️❤️
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.....
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!)
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 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!
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.
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 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.
Aloha! Honolulu, Hawaii! Nurse for 49 years! Been there, done that! Night shift, evening shift and 12 hour shift ! Love what you do, you know laughter is the best medicine!!❤
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!
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!🙌
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.
Need to make a meme about Vacation requests ie getting approved for 9 days, except for the day right smack dab int he middle of the 9 days. My favorite one was when I requested 2 weeks and was told I can only have one week, but once I get to my destination they can see if they can give me the remaining 7 days I requested. HAHA. I tell you that nurses are truly treated poorly by management sometimes. There also has to be a meme on Nurses Week. I remember for nurses week we got a cheap plastic water cup with about 4 hard candies in it. Whoa gee thanks for appreciating nurses. Having said all that the best part about being a nurse is helping the patients. God bless all the nurses out their.
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.
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!
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 ❤️
So funny. The best is When your co worker ask questions at staff meetings. I also would prep everyone before staff meetings with “ Okay Guys No Questions Please, We want out of here”
I remember the first year out of nursing school I used to diligently make a packed lunch and bring it to work. I realize that most of the time I never got to eat it so now I just wing it and if I get a break of more than 15 minutes during the day I hit the vending machine or the cafeteria or the coffee kiosk. I still see plenty of nurses to bring a packed lunch, but that has never worked out for me
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’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.
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
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!
The joint commission hide yo drink relates so much. I work in a nursing home, and when state or corporate comes we gotta hide the food lol, the nurse ordered pizza for everyone and we had to hide it in our office and smuggle it out XD
Thank you Nurse Blake. When im at work and its been a bad day, I watch your videos and you always put a smile on my face😊 Watching from Garden City, Michigan
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. 😀
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 🤣
I started working in the 70’s in Madison Wi. And despite the years that have passed the personalities giving report, working nights, codes or donuts . It’s so the same. Do they still think if you work nights you have almost nothing to do?? Ha!
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🌝
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 😑.
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!
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 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
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 “ 🤪

Can you imagine the 1960’s when nurses smoke at the nursing station
I was dying at the breakfast, lunch, dinner one lol so true!!
What’s a Reneese?? Haha it’s Reese Witherspoon.
i have been a nurse for 37 years. these are so great Nurse Blake. Love love love it.
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!
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
hahahaha---love the calories one and the nursing schedule memes! I work as a nurse, too, and these are SO. SPOT. ON.!!!
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.
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.
Me with the gloves! Love the supposiflower!
I’m staying up late studying for nursing school and this just made my night so much better😂 🖤
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 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 love Nurse Blake. We all need you to make us laugh!
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!
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!!
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!🙌
Joint commission is 10/10!!!! We call it the “ hydration station “ where we’re suppose to drink our stuff...
I'm a current nursing student and your videos really do describe the nursing student so well 😂 I'm from Cleveland Ohio
Me!!!! The skills check off when you can’t get your gloves on!!!
You nailed it! Nurses are a special breed that only other nurses get!
Lol technically three reactions because there are some that just stand there like that dinosaur in the back
My top 3 favs were the glove meme, trying to explain work schedule to non-nursing friends and the supposiflower lol
The student nurse schedule got me cracking up.......greetings from Cape town ,South Africa
When Friday means nothing to you because you work every Friday and every other weekend...
Yes!!!!
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?
I just came home from the hospital today and I’m there often (I’m on a transplant list). I love my nurses so much and your channel. Very cute video 💚
I work a 3 week rotating schedule for last 10 years my family still can’t understand it!
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

The person that asks questions in staff meeting that makes it go on and on....7/10
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.
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
Me Me Me I can so relate to the gloves! Loved this video, watching your from Chicago!
OK I have to say with the supposiflower totally cracks me up as both a patient and healthcare worker.
Night shift always had a gourmet gourmet buffet going on. Walking with a warm blinker around around you eat and then "and" not sleep
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.
Supposiflower wins for originality, but running for the donuts was LOL funny!
I loved the donuts - getcthem before they're gone! Also loved explaining work schedule -
I'm an Ohio Buckeye Girl.
I'm ER so the entire shift is a moving meme
These are great. Thanks for the giggles
Nursing student from Nashville, TN here. I love the JCO meme the most. 10/10 lol
Reaction to a code!! The best one!!!! 😆😆😆😆
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 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.

Love all the memes they are so accurate! Love from Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Pittsburgh, PA. Can’t wait to retire in 2023!! Love your video’s.. soooo true!!

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 ❤️
You are so Right about nurses and memes. This made me howl! 10/10
Omg... when you referred to the supposiflower as elegant, that's what made it hilarious...! Like ROFL status... 🤣
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 😂
So glad that I found you!!!!
Applying to nursing school Next Spring 2020. From Boise ID studying Pre Nursing in Maui Hawaii
Alexis Henzle
Nurse Blake- I love ya! I'm not a nurse but love your vids anyway. Your energy and positivity is awesome.
That IV one!! I have been a NICU nurse for 17 years & i still brag when i get an IV in one shot & looks awesome! 🤣
So funny. The best is When your co worker ask questions at staff meetings. I also would prep everyone before staff meetings with “ Okay Guys No Questions Please, We want out of here”
The glove meme 😂. It’s like the thumb hole just disappears!
Newton,Ia. You are so great for nurses young and old. 😍
Future nursing student from Ohio! I start this fall in pre nursing
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 😂
I remember the first year out of nursing school I used to diligently make a packed lunch and bring it to work. I realize that most of the time I never got to eat it so now I just wing it and if I get a break of more than 15 minutes during the day I hit the vending machine or the cafeteria or the coffee kiosk. I still see plenty of nurses to bring a packed lunch, but that has never worked out for me
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 😂
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! 🙏🏼😆

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
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
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.

Nursing student in Saskatchewan Canada, your videos are hilarious 😂
My favorite was the suppsiflower! Btw, I rarely get the wrapper open that neatly. ; )

We all cleared out one drawer and each nursing charting desk 2 ask to put our drinks in in case of a manager or or Jaco coming
Thank you Nurse Blake. When im at work and its been a bad day, I watch your videos and you always put a smile on my face😊 Watching from Garden City, Michigan

Raleigh NC. You are so funny. I'm a CNA but these are funny.

The gloves meme is so relatable
All the way from Golden Colorado! Watched this a few times already, but your videos get me through nursing school.
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🌝
Joint Commission is a breeze in the hospital compared to State in the nursing home.

Seattle is such a beautiful city!!!
Omg!! Nurse x 30 yrs ... every thing is sooo true
I love the glove meme!! 🤣🤣
