- I put together a little sneak peak of what some of my night shifts are like as an ICU nurse! Obviously no two days are the same, but I hope you can get a little taste of what it's like! Enjoy!

"If you stay ready, you don't have to get ready." new motto :) I love your videos!
So much respect for RNs and the amount of work they put in on the daily. Those 12 hour shifts are not easy, however, you did it with grace! You are appreciated!
A Dicristina and all the other medical professionals
THANK YOU for actually blogging what you do at your hospital, I've clicked on so many "my nursing shift" or "nursing school" vlogs that are literally jus the person sitting in their car and talking for 15 minutes, thank you soooo much. I'm both excited and scared to start my BSN program this fall and vlogs like this really help me to be more excited!!
The 15 minutes before shift to get your life together, wiping everyone’s germy mess down, the mini chart check... I feel seen. Loved this!
You are seen babe! Thank you so much!
I can't wait to start nursing school next year I can't wait to become a pediatric nurse 👩🏾⚕️
That's awesome! I wish you the best!
I’m in school now and speaking for experience DONT WAIT UNTIL ON ANYTHING, stay ahead of the game !
When my son was in the hospital (2weeks-8weeks old) some of his nurses were so amazing and made our stay less stressful. Good luck in pediatrics ❤️
That is the hospital that started my nursing career!!! I recognize the unit and your badge!!! I used to be a supervisor there (not on that unit though)! Great team!! Loved your vlog!
Thank you for being proactive in your video! I see too many who do not give us students what it will really look like, mostly a lot of talking in the car or restroom. Following!
agreed!
You have to be careful as many hospitals have social media policies in place and you can't even video on hospital premises if you don't want to risk being fired.
Hippa risks and a headache to go through if suspected
"ya'll aint about to catch your girl a minute after 7:30" < IF THAT AIN'T THE TRUTH, O'KURT!
LISTEN!! I be ghosting nurses as soon as the last word of report come out! LOL
I love this! If you can, can you make videos on RN skills such as iv insertion, hanging an IV bag? Also your time as a new grad RN, things you might’ve went through. How long did it take you to get confident in your role as a RN? I have no patient care experience and going straight in as an RN, BSN
Remember, nothing you ask can be done in a hospital because of HIPAA laws
New subscriber here... I love this video too.
@@RayBoomBoomRoom She can talk through the video, genius.
@@lionlily0829 you a moron at best!
😂😂 The thing about ICU is that you can go from zero to code blue ... BARS!!!! I love it!!!
Best nursing video so far that I have watched. You make me so excited to be a RN. Then ima step it up and jump to Midwife😃! Loved the video! ❤️
“But first, coffee” yes ma’am 🙌🏾😂
I really enjoyed this video. I am graduating from nursing school in 2 months, with hopes of starting in the ICU, so having a glimpse of what it's like from your perspective is very helpful!
i have been wanting to be an icu nurse my whole life, thankyou so much for showing me behind the scenes. i love helping people and i love the hospital!
New subscriber. Love this video
I really appreciate your videos! I start my internship in two weeks in the progressive care unit. Watching your videos is a huge help, thank you!
I have my first critical care clinical tmr and I'm super excited!! I never thought I'd be suited for ICU but the more I learn, the more intriguing it sounds :)
Good luck!! You got this!!
This was so intresting and fun to watch! I work in an ICU in Finland. Totally other side of the world but still everything looked so familiar 😊 And I too am that person, who starts her shift by wiping everything 🤣
I'm from Germany and yes, it's so familiar!
Love this your personality is everything!!!!!!
Cool video! Not completely a first year nurse yet, I'm in a residency program. Thinking about the ICU, feeling a little uneasy about it considering all the stories I've heard from Medsurg nurses. I'ts so muc harder! in a nutshell, but I'd like the experience. The way you've put it, is be ready for anything! Doesn't sound to bad if your ducks are in a row.
New subscriber ! Sound just like my preceptor! " you not finna catch your girl a min after 0730" BOOP
I love this video! I’m currently in my third semester/pediatric-maternity rotation. I have one more semester till I can take my nclex-rn exam! Originally, I wanted to go into geriatrics but I’m slowly leaning towards becoming an ICU nurse so this video is extremely insightful! Definitely subscribing! ♥️
Such an amazing video! Some very helpful tips, I love how down to earth & hardworking you are. Keep it up!
Ayye.
I like how strategic this is lol
I plan on doing ICU when I graduate.
Thanks for the video
keppra. 😢 i miss my mother. how ridiculous is it that i’m a med tech at a nursing home and a medical assistant while in nursing school and all these meds and situations trigger me... loss of a mom to cancer. i couldn’t save her and i won’t save everyone but god damn it i will help all that i can.
I watch these videos when i don't feel like studying and you reallllyy make great videos. already hit subscribe in the first minute! thankyou!
Going to work at least 15 minutes make such a difference. And you can get report as soon as possible so the person before can leave also when you receive reports it’s long. So as early as you can be is prefect
So inspiring! I am 10 and I really want to be a nurse or nurse practitioner! I always help out my granny. I study. If you want me to I can tell you everything about a heart attack! I am the nerd that has all A’s and E’s and 1 B in my WHOLE LIFE! Keep going!
This is amazing!! I start nursing school in august and I'm kinda leaning towards ICU and ER right now but I know that may change; look forward to your videos!!
Lawdhammery frosting on a graham cracker gurrrrrrlllll, that’s brilliant!!! I have GOT to step my break room sugar game up!!! 🤣
I had no idea before this night lol!! They taste like that old childhood cookie everyone used to eat (can't even remember the name) Once you eat it, it makes so much sense LOL
This is very inspirational ❤️
I'm so glad this was able to inspire you!
This is great! I feel like you have the most useful advice!!
I work for HCA too!! lol when you logged onto the computer i was like oh lorddd meditech!
Did she say BARZ 😂😂😂 I love nurse rocky 😂😂😂
This is such a detailed day in the life video! I miss night shifts. Haha
Thank you for this, I have an ICU interview on Tuesday! Super helpful. where the other sistas at thoughhh
I'm planning to become a nurse anesthetist and will have to work as an ICU nurse for a couple years, so this was extremely helpful. It's difficult to find day in the life videos where they actually show their workplace and don't just talk about it.
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing
Hey, I hope you’re well? I just about clapped when you talked about staying hydrated no matter how many times you have to pee, because I constantly hear nurses say “ oh you can forget about peeing “ and I’m like who terrified of not being able to be hydrated and not being able to get restroom breaks.
Right! I’m gonna go to the bathroom and drink my water. My health comes first
Yessssssss wipe that keyboard girl !!! Haha I do the same thing !
I be ready to go at 7am! lol 😂 stay ready
She said sometimes you have to put them down *with ativan* lmao I heard that. Now I wanna know what icu gives you a 1:1 assignment
Minna L. Our ICU sometimes does! If there’s a high acuity patient, the nurse will be singled.
Yes. As TeBorah said, high acuity patients, will get you a 1:1. Hospitals are different though what some consider 1:1 worthy, others don't.... CRRT, severally unstable (on multiple pressors/ high risk medications), fresh heart surgery pts, even some hospitals will make DKA pts 1:1 lol.
Hope that answers your question.
Not a nurse. But when my husband was in ICU after surgery for a lung disease he had his own personal nurse. I have kaiser in NorCal.
Nurse Rocky do you actually run CRRT in California or are there dialysis nurses running CRRT for you?
Nice video you seem so cool to be around keep up that happy personality
This is such an insightful vlog...Thanks so much!
I cannot wait to be an icu nurse one day
Lorazepam for the win 😂 I working psych as a PCNA and the nurse pass melatonin and Benadryl for sleep and if they are a fighter most have Ativan prn or some other such that we refer to as "the cocktail" if they turn up
Great video! Very useful
0 to code blue.... BARS!!! 🔥 lmao
It’s 9 o’clock right now, just got off a 12 1/2 hour shift in the ICU and I want to die. I don’t know why I decided to watch this video it just extend my day but I totally resonated with it
This was a great video, thank you.
This was a perfect vid!! I’m an RN and this is REAL 🤣😂. Werk your shift with a moment to strike a pose 🙌🏼
Rockstar Rochelle I’m about to take my Cna certification and then I wanna become an RN how should I go about it and what program should I go into I’m stressed about the whole thing lol
@@user-fo9jd9um4v if you can, do your perquisites at an ACCREDITED community college and make sure the college you'll be transferring to will accept the credits. It'll save you money and class sizes are smaller
People so pressed about her having her phone at work. She’s not in patients rooms she don’t have the phone all in people face not near anyone’s room, what hippa violation is she breaking? How y’all know she walking around with her phone the whole shift? She could just did 3/4 minutes snippets when she came in or during her lunch or 15 minute breaks. I’m not understanding. Thanks for the video, im checking out different nursing specialties and critical care has been stuck in my mind since school started
Love the ER, wanna try ICU one day tho
Your so pretty!!! New subbie
I have that same water container. Best deal ever!!
Thank you so much for your video! Im a nursing student and am so nervous to be out there in the nursing world alone. Are you still content with your ICU job? Thanks!
elsang jkiojooitgvbiioioooijjojjkjbiijhjoiijkkjoooilkb
elsang kijhhh,j
I'm the same. 6 months until I graduate
This is so cool thank you! I’m an aspiring icu nurse is there some kind of extra studying I have to do?
Man girl you're the one
Great video! Just found your channel 😊...how are you liking nights? I’ve been a Neuro RN for 12 years on night shift and it can be a lot on the body sometimes....you are def right abt staying hydrated.
Me and Nights finna Fight. lol... I'm over it! lol
Nah, but I've worked both. Actually worked days longer so there are pros ad cons to each for sure
Your commentary is the best, I wish you could be my preceptor!!
“You can go from zero to code blue... bars.”
Hey sis, I have a question, so I’m trying to do my first travel assignment in Cali, I’ve worked in 2 level one traumas and I’m trying to decide if it’s work taking a lower pay to stay in a big facility, or take the higher pay and go community(whew Chile).. has this been a consideration for you while traveling?
Did I just see a drawer like that at the bedside 😳😧 wow
LMFAO @ “bars”
Thank you for this video !
Just curious, do you guys have nurses aids on your floor? I’m an aid at one of our biggest hospitals and I stay busy. I’m not even a nurse yet and I’m so busy.
Awesome video, why do i read articles about ICU nurses getting ptsd from working there?
Girl you are so beautiful
I really enjoyed this video! I want to be an ICU Nurse as well... Stay Blessed!
#NewSubscriber!
A patient wants to have a ride in the van. The ATIvan.
I so love this 😊
I Love your videos. Keep up the good work gorgeous 👍👍🤓😆
cna's dont do the stocking?
I wipe it down too !
I am about to start nursing school and interested in working in the ICU. Thank you for the upload and giving us an idea of what it is like. Subscribe!!!! ✌️ and ❤️🌎🌍🌏
Do you have to have your BSN before traveling to Cali for an assignment? I know New York requires it.
I'm not sure! I graduated with my BSN, so I'm never really aware of requirements regarding that. I know a lot of facilities are moving the direction
Quick question do ICU nurses focus a lot of cleaning the patients or that’s only some times ?
Are you at a Texas HCA? I know that’s so weird to ask I just work at a HCA in Texas and it’s cool to know I’m subscribed to a Texas Nurse lol
I'm shook, labetalol as a prn?! Never seen the before.
Their eye lenses has cameras in it is how they are recording...
The Transformers drug, what the heck lol
I need that water bottle!! Where did you purchase?
C T you can get it at Walmart for 20$
Hey love this video is amazing. I’m a nurse working in riverside Ca. Are u still in riverside? How do you like it?
Great video. Thanks a lot! Subbed. :)
Awesome, thank you! Welcome!
We do our mornings the same!
“Finna” 💀
Thanks for this
"bars" lolll
You are an aspiration
tranexamic tx pt who are at risk for bleeding, clot break buster.....lol just learned this med the other day 😂😂😂. #trauma nurse
I take it for hemorrhaging due to endometriosis. It's something I take when the bleeding is out way too much. Saves me going to the hospital for them to give me the same thing. It's not a fun medication though it makes me feel like I'm dying.
Hi, I’m from Spain. I study nursing in university of Barcelona and I need to do a project for a subject (psychosocial sciences). I would like to do a small interview for my job, I want to compare the day-to-day life of a nurse in the United States and nurse in Spain. would you help me with this proposal? Thanks in advance 😊🙏🏼💕
Very accurate
New subbie here love your videos :)
If you could be any other kind of nurse..what would you be?!
Hello 🖐😊 I’m very curious about ICU nurses! Are you an intensive care nurse? I’m surprised you spend so much time on the computer. I thought that you would be more involved with patients that are in emergencies.
Great video! Are you from New Orleans?
No Im not! From the great state of TEXAS!
what did u have to do to become an ICU nurse eg collge master ??
I graduated with my BSN. All I had to do was apply for the job.
Love this vide ❤️❤️❤️❤️New subbie
