I’ve been a LPN for two weeks and I was ready to call it quits. Yesterday was my first day by myself and I was feeling very discouraged and had a lot anxiety. I came across this video today and all I can say is thank you! I don’t want to give up on myself and what I have sacrificed to go through school for one bad day. Thank you for the tips and for the encouragement
I am reading this a year later. I am new to nursing, and I feel like quitting every day. I needed help in an emergency, and my supervisor didn't not assist me.
THIS THIS THIS! I think the "nurse eat their young" is the most toxic crap ever. Ive been a nurse for 3 months and have watched these nurses watch me STRUGGLE through so much, completely unbelievable. Thank you for this video.
THANK YOU FOR THIS LOVELY HEART FELT VIDEO! I am not a nurse however in Missouri we have a role called CMA-L1 (Certified Medication Aide-Level 1) we are allowed to pass meds in residential care facilities... I was first certified in 2000, I have worked off & on for years in various facilities, the last year I worked was 2016! I have been working in another field and recently decided to come back to this population. I returned to the field 3/25/2024... Omg, the level of disrespect is unreal and I am trying my best to find my way and NOT click out, they laugh at me because I move slow as I am learning how to use the damn electronic M.A.R. which may be simple but not really! Your tips are making me feel better already! I'm going in there from now on with my Ipod jamming my inspirational playlist and being unbothered as I make my bag! They keep reminding me that people keep quitting all the time, so I'll take the bullying in stride {{*_*}} as I stick with it to move at my pace!.
Same! I can’t stand when seasoned nurses are mean to new nurses 😡 i’ve been in nursing for 22 years and I absolutely become even more enthused when I teach a new nurse and tell them how much they’re appreciated and to hang in there, that it takes time to learn 😊 And thank you for this video and I love the tip on praying before you go in. I do that too and I’ll tell you what I feel like I just have the strength of the Lord on my side and just to help me be a better Nursing to be able to let my light shine through.❤
I was bullied by a nurse who has 30 yrs of experience vs me who has 2 months. I was supposed to ask the ADON but he was not in his office so since it's next to the nurse station where the UM was, I asked her thinking she might be able to help. The problem was we don't have 1.5 cal feeding for one of our residents but only 1.2. So I asked her what can I use. She then looked at me removed her glasses and said "That's when you do your math lady, you calculate your calories , that's when you do your math" and she told me with an ATTITUDE and other nurses can hear. I honestly wanted to disappear because I felt so embarrassed and stupid at the same time. There's a lot of things I wasn't taught while in school. We have a conversion in our med room but that particular feeding wasn't listed there. I honestly wanted to give up that day. I am thankful for people who's non judgmental it means so much to me
Those people are miserable in the field. Let's be honest being an LVN is hard and working at SNF sucks but those nurses who stayed for that long and treats new nurses like shit didn't end up in the career they want and are miserable at work and their personal life. I was bullied too but I stood my ground and I do talk back and remind them they are once in my position and answering a damn question without degrading others specially new nurses is possible. You can do it. You are smart and the nursing school and your work training isn't enough so don't feel bad.
Next time when tube feeding issues come up like this … call the dietitian for a substitute and then follow up with the MD bc you will need the change the order in your system. So sorry your UM wasn’t willing to do her job and help.
I'm just starting out and this is striking home right now. I'm struggling with med pass and balancing all other things that need to be done. I'm starting out in an SNF so my ratios are kinda high and I could relate when you said you felt like you were slow and that you need to speed up, I feel that way A LOT. I even came from a different country so the practice and standards are not the same. To all my fellow nurses out there, and specially to those who are just starting out, we got this and eventually we will be good nurses. Do not give up cause I need ya'll to not give up too
I’m 4.5 months into my LPN nursing career in a LTC facility and something I do is give myself grace for the things I don’t know yet. I can’t teach myself and no one is willing to teach me. So I will learn how to do it in due time when the situation presents itself. Until then I’m not going to beat myself up if I don’t know how to do something I wasn’t trained to do. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
The message that stuck out to me the most was 'comparison is the thief of joy'. I feel like I'm slow in whatever I do., I'm not a nurse yet I was a cna and I would see the other cnas finish their tasks before me, I was new they were experienced. Some of them gave me advice/tips and some just roll their eyes n walked away. I love the message in this video tho, it gives me hope and a positive outlook.
Thank you for the message about nurse bullying. I get extreme anxiety fearing someone will treat me bad because I may not know something. God bless you and thank you.
Watching this helped me so much. I’ve been a nurse 20 years and I am starting over with an agency! Your words have been most helpful and inspiring!!! Thank you! Safe is better than fast and my new motto and my favorite thing I’ve heard in forever “Comparison is the thief of joy”!!! Yesssss!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow you are so humble and caring, you must be a great nurse and coworker, your patients sound like they are good hands. It's so nice of you to make this video, it would be a pleasure for any nurse to work with you. I also like the fact that you're a praying nurse and put God in your work routine.
Yes!!! Your beautiful from inside out! Some ppl are just unhappy with themselves and the only get pleasure when being nasty to those who are vulnerable.
I needed to hear this. I gave up on skilled nursing because I was told I’m too slow with my med pass. Only to find out the other nurses never passed otc meds or vitamins to make their med pass quicker. 😢
New nurse here thank you for saying it. I am definitely feeling the heat about moving to slow. But I'm getting to know the people and making good connections with them instead of just being the licensed drug dealer.
Why does everyone focus on the old nurses eating their young…bullying happens to experienced nurses as well. I am a new travel RN my background is a specific population of a patients with Lymphomas and blood disorders. I have yet to find a facility or unit that is warm and welcoming to me. The techs are nasty and usually have these weird relationships with the manager who empowers them to be nasty to certain nurses.
Spot on, is happening to me right now. I’m a new grad nurse that was a tech previously on the same unit, and since I became a nurse two of the techs completely changed their attitude towards me, in a negative way.
I completely agree! I have been a LPN for just shy of ten years and I still take long on my med pass! I like to make sure I’m correct and interact with the residents and also, if my CNA needs help, I help. Now if I have an issue going on, I know I have to move quickly but if all is going well, take your time! I get you! I am working with a recruiter and I am going to be starting my first agency job, so glad that I found your channel! Thanks for all the inspiration :)
I've been an lvn for a month minus I week of training (watching videos & paperwork). So technically 3 weeks. I choose the 7-3 AM shift because my family comes first. I gotta be there for them. I am slow at what I do of course. And the next nurse (3-11 shift) is usually waiting a tad for me. I don't really care (although it's embarrassing), but I do see how the nursing shortage is a real thing. This video helped me out a lot because I was feeling like it was me. Also, nurses do eat their young because everyone is so fast and running that they don't have time to train a new booty. Thankfully I am shameless and I do ask when I need the help. I don't care what they say.. So, I was so glad to hear this because I am still human and I feel a lil overwhelmed sometimes... I figured, "if we stay in the oven, we will eventually caramelize into a delicious piece of work" 🍖 HANG ON THERE.... 😎🕊️
Hello new subbie, I just watched a few of your videos and they're very motivational. I watch plenty of nursing videos and yours is something special. You have a beautiful spirit. Thank you for sharing and keep the videos coming.❤
As am i...I'm only a couple of days in and was put on med cart alone..it was horrible and the nurse training me sat and watched me struggle...I wanted to give up and walk out of the facility but I decided not too..just before change of shift I still had 10 patient meds to pass and I told her I'm done ..she then decided to get up and help me..I don't want to go back but I can't afford not to work..but I am worried...scared and embarrassed!!
@Sam H. No no no Sam font quit. In 1 year 1 promise you you're going to be the most knowledgeable and nicest nurse there. The lazy nurse always get in trouble...just give her time!
I'm a male new grad with no experience and my preceptor puts me on the cart the second day...I have done 4 days with him and so discouraging...It makes you feel miserable. He keeps telling me I'm late.Thanks for this advice.
This is exactly what I was looking for when searching for new grad tips. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Great tips. Too many videos about what they carried in their bags vs actual useful tips to be prepared on the floor.
From a NP, if it’s fasting blood sugar but you give insulin 2 hours later, the sliding scale may be off so please take the blood sugar when the tray is in front of the patient and then give rapid acting insulin it’s a big safety concern and liability for your license.
Thank you for this video 💕!! I’m a new nurse in LTC and I’ve been working for a month. Lord the seasoned nurses are to the point they don’t care and they definitely eat their young sadly…
Beautiful Lady, Thank You So Much For Being A Part of The Nursing Profession, We Need So Many Like You, Not Enough Professionals Like You. Most Importantly Always Stay the Way You Are. You Are Such A Blessing to Mankind!!!
nurses should motivate and lift up each other because we have similar goals and that is to give the best possible care to our patients we are not there to compete each other or bully younger or new nurses in the workplace. seasoned nurses should look back when they new and inexperienced too. If someone would ask for help about sth and i know the answer i would help tht nurse why not! it doesn't affect my ego or sth. I am always enthusiat to help.
You are such a sweet soul!!! God bless you for this video! You helped me feel so much better about my first day alone in my new LTC facility. Thank you for this video! I was so caught up on being fast and hurrying through med pass, but you speaking about taking your time really helped me to realize it isn’t all about speed! ❤
I loved this video, thank you so much!! 🙏🏽 the perspective readjustments helped a lot. Can’t wait to try these tips tomorrow! It’s my first week at my facility and I’m loving it but wanna be with the dawgs already!
My start date was 12/19/22, last day was Saturday 1/14/23… I will officially call and tell them to kiss my rear tomorrow because I’m not ever showing up again.
😂 laughing because this was about to be sooo me. Start date was December too 🤦🏽♀️. It’s easier working prn. They catch me one day a week...if they can
Thanks. I am a new nurse working LCT. I have been so discouraged Because it is so much to learn and nurses can be so hurtful to new nurses, and i have been trying to finish my med pass quickly. But i am going to take your advice and just take my time. You are right 😅
In my opinion 3pm-11pm. Is tough especially when you have 12 finger sticks before supper and them trays are passed. Then they all need coverage ugh... But I always embrace the new and young cause the more the merrier I learned in nursing cause u can always use the help.
When you said pray😂😂😂😂I went to the dark side mentally “once you go through those doors , your gonna need Jesus” and then you took it to thanksgiving now I feel bad 😂😂😂
Don’t you think it’s easier to get finger sticks as you go n hang and prime as you go cuz going through n getting finger sticks ends up taking longer because u end up talking to patients cuz they need things. Even if u hurry up the dialogue it still takes up time.
I am 52 and I have owned a home care agency for 10 years. I feel as if I lost all of my nursing skills. I really want to start doing bedside nursing again, but I am at a lost. Do you have any suggestions or can you create a video on this topic? Thank you in advance.
Yes it’s not a race but honestly I’m moving fast to get off my feet because if I don’t I won’t be a healthy nurse long enough. When I work 11-7 I bring my cart to the nursing station to prep my meds so I only have to stand for the actual med pass
I’m a new grad nurse and I’m trying to find a routine with med pass and I’m a little confused on when to check for BS and when I should give Insulin. I work PM shift and in the EMAR there’s a few insulin injections for 1630 but trays don’t come out till 5/5:30 sometimes 6. So my question is when should I do BS and give insulin?
@@Nurse4Life255 in NJ you are allowed to set your pumps up a hour before administration time so I’ll add that to the next video but that’s a good catch
@@Smalldosesofmo Oh really? I did not know that GOOD TIP! Thank you, that’s why i always watch other nurses. I been doin it for years but i still dont know it all! Thanks girl

That’s how I felt when I first stated 😢
I am reading this a year later. I am new to nursing, and I feel like quitting every day. I needed help in an emergency, and my supervisor didn't not assist me.
We'll feel like giving up at the beginning. We just encourage ourselves until it gets better. Never an easy job.
Thank you. It's better to be a safe nurse, than a fast nurse.
Exactly!!! Be safe !! Not fast
THIS THIS THIS! I think the "nurse eat their young" is the most toxic crap ever. Ive been a nurse for 3 months and have watched these nurses watch me STRUGGLE through so much, completely unbelievable. Thank you for this video.
Same here. Graduated in December and even had one nurse roll her eyes and say something to another nurse instead of helping me🙄

You should have the 1.5 cal feeding available! That calculation does not make any sense.
As mean as they sound always be reminded that they too didn't know it all when they just started. You got this.
Next time when tube feeding issues come up like this … call the dietitian for a substitute and then follow up with the MD bc you will need the change the order in your system. So sorry your UM wasn’t willing to do her job and help.

Been nurse for 5 months now.... got my first job in corrections my anxiety dnt let i go back.. now iam at a nursing home and the anxiety is on...
My start date was 12/19/22, last day was Saturday 1/14/23… I will officially call and tell them to kiss my rear tomorrow because I’m not ever showing up again.
😂 laughing because this was about to be sooo me. Start date was December too 🤦🏽♀️. It’s easier working prn. They catch me one day a week...if they can
Thanks. I am a new nurse working LCT. I have been so discouraged
Because it is so much to learn and nurses can be so hurtful to new nurses, and i have been trying to finish my med pass quickly. But i am going to take your advice and just take my time. You are right 😅
Finish fast because when the state comes it’s a problem if u late. so I’d stay be safe but still don’t get too behind
That's true too
Hate being a nurse
You are so helpful i love that 🙏🏾❤️
Ppl are bullies and they raise their kids to be that way as well 😔
In my opinion 3pm-11pm. Is tough especially when you have 12 finger sticks before supper and them trays are passed. Then they all need coverage ugh...
But I always embrace the new and young cause the more the merrier I learned in nursing cause u can always use the help.
I just said that, I'm not in a race just to sit down at the station
Thank you for this video. I am a new Nurse.
Needed this.
Good for you!
Or nurses with more experience
I don’t like bullying nurses either
When you said pray😂😂😂😂I went to the dark side mentally “once you go through those doors , your gonna need Jesus” and then you took it to thanksgiving now I feel bad 😂😂😂
I wish I can add you on Facebook 😫 I just started Monday as a LPN. I feel like I’m going to be so stressed out. Thank you so much for this video! 🙏🏾❤️
How was it? I’m planning to start LPN or a ray tech this year, and haven’t made up my mind… any advice?
Thank you so much❤️
Amen pray first
I’m a medtech not a nurse and I’ve experienced the same thing..
Don’t you think it’s easier to get finger sticks as you go n hang and prime as you go cuz going through n getting finger sticks ends up taking longer because u end up talking to patients cuz they need things. Even if u hurry up the dialogue it still takes up time.

I wish I can work with you lol
When u see the food then give the insulin. Right on
Yes it’s not a race but honestly I’m moving fast to get off my feet because if I don’t I won’t be a healthy nurse long enough. When I work 11-7 I bring my cart to the nursing station to prep my meds so I only have to stand for the actual med pass
Compression socks, 20-30 mmHg help a lot with the standing.
I’m a new grad nurse and I’m trying to find a routine with med pass and I’m a little confused on when to check for BS and when I should give Insulin. I work PM shift and in the EMAR there’s a few insulin injections for 1630 but trays don’t come out till 5/5:30 sometimes 6. So my question is when should I do BS and give insulin?
Check the order from the MD, check pcc or what ever charting you use at the facility.
@Claire_wills ....and don't forget to consult with another nurse even if they think u r dumb!
I’m doing med pass in school getting ready for Clinical I’m scared outta my pants shooot this
10 years still pray
Ok but hanging m priming may not be allowed per state regs.
You’re right that’s why I always say do what works best for you…everybody finds their rhythm after working a while.
New nurses might go and do it in front of state not knowing
@@Nurse4Life255 my next video I’ll be more specific thanks for pointing that out 🤗
@@Nurse4Life255 in NJ you are allowed to set your pumps up a hour before administration time so I’ll add that to the next video but that’s a good catch
@@Smalldosesofmo Oh really? I did not know that GOOD TIP! Thank you, that’s why i always watch other nurses. I been doin it for years but i still dont know it all! Thanks girl
As a Nurse. Nurses are the worst to each other.
