Thanks so much for watching this video! I seem to have spark a fire. My intentions always on this channel is to show my experience good, bad or ugly and nursing is not a bed of roses, trust me! I have a lot of stories I could tell, I was actually gonna take this out of my video bc a similar situation happened to me before and I recorded it and edited it out of the vlog, but I wanted to share this. Giving someone a hard time for doing their job is NEVER ok! rude comments, the staring up and down and that perplex look on some faces. I always think to myself that person is just so shocked that I am a NP! Welp continue to be shocked! 😏 One 💚

I’ve been watching your channel for the last 3 hours (I’m sure you’ve seen my consistent likes 😄) but I just wanted to let you know that if no one else needs you right now I NEED YOU right now. Currently working on my Prereqs for nursing with the hopes of getting into the nursing program fall of 2021 here in Maryland. Plan to follow up with my BSN and the hopes of becoming a Pediatric Primary Care NP. April 12th 2020 I lost my 2 year old little boy to a tragic accident so now I use that tragedy as fuel to push through school, to learn all that I’ll need to know when it comes to caring for my patients, and to wear a WHITE COAT proudly such as yourself! Please don’t stop uploading videos!!! I have A LOT of years to go and I’ll need ya!

To be quite honest, I believe some nurses are just envious/jealous that you are in that role. The fact that you are black only adds fuel to the fire. Before I left my last job, I emailed all the nurses telling them how I was leaving to pursue my FNP degree. One of my co workers flat out told me, “the grass isn’t greener on the other side” then processed to walk out the door without any words of congratulations to me. During one of my clinical rotations, a patient asked if I was training to be an LPN. Ummm...why would you ASSume that when you clearly see that I am here with the FNP? If I got a penny for every time I was mistaken for a CNA or the like (no shade), I’d be a millionaire 🙄. *end rant*

I understand your frustrated when patients assume you're a CNA or an LPN...but I urge you to reframe it. The patients who say that can only see your gentle humility. (Perhaps they're throwing shade, but since you are intelligent and know how hard you work, you can't assume that..so think it's only the best comments!) You don't put on airs of superiority and did what's what effort you've put in towards your degree! Hear it as a compliment instead.

@LovelyGlow01

We should never reframe a thought or belief that someone being rude is a compliment, because it is not. It is poor behavior that reflects what is going on inside the rude perso. We should never think that allowing someone to be rude to us is providing therapy to them because it is the opposite. It actually has the potential to promote more rude and uncalled for behavior. Staying professional was the best move in that situation. Going to HR or management with repeated offenses would frame better as therapy for a person like her. It could give her a look at her actions and possibly guide her toward managing her reactions better or it could actually lead her to therapy to get the help she needs. We can't encourage such behavior. And nurses have to stop eating their young as well as their peers. It is enough.

She repeated,”Oh, the LPN position.” My issue has been that people automatically assume, because of my race, that I must be a CNA or an LPN.

I had a fellow Surg Tech tell me that what I'm doing is not my job, or I've had people ask me why I'm doing those things, and I've had nurses give me dirty looks because I'm cleaning the rooms and mopping the floors. First off the faster we get the OR clean the faster we get the next case in, second move an go whe! Nuh come tell me what I should and shouldn't be doing, why don't you just come help. I hate how nurses and other staff treat people. It's sickening. and it's some of the same duty rude people that keep asking me to join their team. I just ignore dem and cuss dem in my mind lol.

So I’ve been looking for a NP to do Day in the Life, who looks like me and does hospital. I found you and I’m so glad. So as a “retired” ICU nurse I never understood the I only listen to the Dr, when we have tons of NPs on our services especially at night. But most likely it’s the second reason why she acted like a donkey rear-end. But usually when I get that I flip on them and start acting really concerned and scared FOR her “are you ok? Are you ill? You look flushed. I was only asking who the nurse was and if you can at least overhead call him to the desk please. But feel better.” Also, Caribbean dreame peppermint tea is my favorite! ❤️ ❤❤

Geez, I always found most of the NP and PAs in my unit easy to talk to and helpful, willing to drop what they're doing to come and check on people I was concerned about.

I love your attitude and you are right we know why she was rude, am Hispanic and got the same treatment when I was doing my clinical rotations as an RN.

Yuh can tek the girl outta yaad, but yuh cya tek the yaad outta di girl! One day I hope to be a CRNA! I'm still in school for an RN right now.

I’m so very sorry this happened to you. You should report it to the CNO. If this happened to you, there are probably many other nurses who she tramples on. Before they increase her work responsibilities, they should know her drawbacks so they can work on it for improvement not necessarily punitive. 💕

Some ICU nurses are probably the most jealous of them all. They most likely want to move forward but for some reason they can't (grades) or won't (lazy). It's all good though. Just smile and move on gracefully 🤣👌🏽

The thing is I am a former ICU nurse and I had NP's coming to my unit all the time and I do not ever remember a time when myself or any of my ICU pals treated them bad. I only time I get annoyed with folks its when they don't do their job! Yes its all good!

@@fromcnatonp Exactly. I have never treated anyone bad because I'm not that kind of person but you never know when or if you might need someone's help that you may have treated badly before. I've definitely experienced what you went through because I'm a black nurse so unfortunately it's our reality. Thanks for sharing your experiences 🌞

That’s crazy! They should be happy to work with you since you are a nurse with an advanced degree. The backlash is not cool. I pray for continued patience for you. I know I’ll be wanting to lash out, but because of our beautiful melanin people just want to hate.

Okay so it’s not just us little people (I’m a tech) that they are rude to!!! Reading these comments is blowing my mind. What is it with the ICU nurses? Anytime I get assigned ICU I have to mentally prepare myself. They are just uppity, selfish, snobs at my hospital. Not looking forward to being in that unit, but CRNA requires the time in a cc unit 😬

Can you do a Q and A video? Also can you do a video I would like to know more about your program? How were the test? How was your teachers classes? How much harder was it then getting your BSN?

MSN student here..contemplating if I want to go for my NP or DNP. I’ve realized the rudest nurses are the mean girls from high school. Idk why go into the field of nursing to be RUDE! Really disappointing

when you first started as a hospitalist, did you get a thoroguht orientation or you just kind of had to figure things out yourself. I am a new NP and have a few Hospitalist interviews coming up and will love some insight on how your training process was.

Your eyebrows 😍😍😍😍

HELLO! I am working on my CNA right now, I start nursing school in August. I was wondering if you can make a sitdown video and talk about charting and how much time that takes out of your day? I want to work my way up to be a NP and I am a little worried about charting most of the time. Also, what is the difference in APRN and FNP?

@fromcnatonp

3 жыл бұрын

APRN is an advance practice nurse so as a FNP you fall under that umbrella term just like a CRNA would also be considered a APRN bc they also have a masters degree. Charting is a lot but just have to get the hang of it. Good luck on your journey

Not me being an ICU nurse listening to your tea....Sorry we’re not all like that. But I’m a night nurse so we’re typically way more chill.

I am also a former ICU nurse and it was crazy to me when I experience this. I had to ask all my former ICU friends if we acted in this manner. I know we all not all like that.

You have got to take breaks from your N95 mask. The way you were breathing was kinda scary. It happens to me at work also. Just a helpful tip. I myself forget to take breaks by I’m so busy.

I' m considering this career but have a fear of needles. Does this job require a lot of needle work?

So, what is exactly what you do in the hospital? Wound care? As well?
