My husband lived in his car in a hospital underground parking garage for four days. Miles away from home he couldn’t afford a hotel room because everything in the general area was very expensive, but there he was living in his car while waiting for me to get through surgery and recovery. He said it was tough at times but being able to visit and spend time with me every day without having to travel so far made it an easy choice. I love him everyday for it.

That kind of life zombifies you. I did 12-hour shifts in a factory at one point, and it was an hour's commute each way. Brain-dead, and I didn't even have overtime which I assume an RN would.

I am a retired RN living in northern California . I was an LVN for 8 years and an RN for 27 years. I worked as a nurse in 5 states but was certified in 10 states. Luckily for me California finally started paying RNs a more equitable wage for the past decade. But California also has one of the highest cost of living in the country. Nursing is a very exhausting profession. It takes lots of physical and mental stamina to be a nurse. Many people leave the profession after only 3 years due to burnout. The physical toll on body and mind often leads to injury. Nursing is a very stressful occupation, and every nurse is always aware that exhaustion can result in errors which can impact the patient. Nursing is not a profession for the weak. Living in a van at least takes some of the stress away from the problem of getting enough sleep and the anxiety of getting to work on time !

Amen. The other thing people don't seem to want to talk about is when nurses get hurt on the job and they get seriously hurt often They end up on disability. Everyone knows if you're on disability you don't make enough to be able to feed a cat 2 times a month! It's ridiculous and repulsive when you look at what the CEO & Board of Directors are paying themselves every year! For sitting on their big fat butts and doing nothing!!! Not to mention the amount of physical assaults that nurses experience. Some of my friends working in inner-city ER's are being physically assaulted every other shift! On top of training new Doctors, making sure they don't kill patients. While watching a psych patient. Making sure they don't try to grab a cart and go into a bathroom and hurt themselves! On top of rotating through numerous patients that are waiting for their paperwork or medication! I don't know how you all have hair left in your head when you go home at night?? I would have ripped it out in the first hour. I always tell people Nurses are 😇 walking amongst us. Thank you for your service. I know that had you gone to San Francisco or some of the bigger cities you would have been paid double and triple. My friend works in a central coastal hospital and does it for the love of helping people and because she loves where she lives. It's very disheartening when all she does is train younger people who can drive 45 minutes north and make an additional $20,000 to $60,000 a year. If people only knew. It's not at all unusual for her to go from doing one-on-one critical rehab care to scrubbing in to help a surgeon with an emergency surgery and then finishing out doing another rotation in the ER because they've had too many other nurses that have timed out on service hours. This happens on a regular basis it is incredibly rare that she gets 2 days off in a row and is not called into work after doing double and triple shifts. All white being grossly underpaid in comparison to her counterparts that are 45 minutes north of her. It really stinks when most of those are fresh nursing students and you've got 35 plus years and you're literally clocking in all around the hospital Non-Stop! If the general public only knew how fragile the healthcare system is. They'd be demanding some real change. ❤

You seem so at peace with your lifestyle and comfortable in your vehicle. Enjoy!

As a former hospital staffer, I know how greuling and long shifts can be. The world needs more nurses like you who value their nursing responsibilities for their patients. God bless you for all you do. 🌹🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻🌹

Keep up the hard work and the fact that you care about your patients makes ALL the difference in the world.

I don't really miss out on family time since I'd get home after they are in bed and leave right when they wake up. Plus I get more downtime without the daily commute. I have a plug, all the conveniences of home (sofa, bed, toilet, tv/dvd, kitchenette) and a gym nearby to shower. Everyone I work with knows what I do but the neighboring businesses don't. It's a very comfortable situation for maximizing my time and minimizing my expenses and gives me 4 days off every week to spend with my family. Loved the video. Feels like having a virtual neighbor.

This is a super smart way to offset the stress that comes with working in healthcare and having to commute all of the hours to get to work when you live far away. Good for you.

I praise the nurses so much because I have been blessed with awesome nurses who give themselves selflessly. I had a two part fusion eight years ago and a four day hospital stay this passed march 2024. I prayed for my nurses everyday. Thank you for your service!

Thank you for sharing your life as a nurse. You remind me of my mom, a retired nurse who I sometimes accompanied in her workplace. Just like you, she liked going above and beyond what is expected of her. I salute you nurses. ❤

as a nursing professor, I am soooo proud of you. congrats on the 2 Daisy nominations!!🎉🎉 I hope your empathy is contagious just like your outlook on life. you are doing great. don't listen to the haters!!! you do you because that is who we love!!! ❤❤❤

Nursing professors need to teach the importance of bedside manners, empathy and how to calm their ego's. Most RN's I've dealt with especially the newbies walk around with a chip on their shoulder and put themselves at the same level as Doctors. They need to be knocked down a couple of notches. All you see now is nurses congregating around the nurses station, laughing and joking around and staying on their phones while patients have called upon them for an hour. It's the CNA's and LPN's that do most the work with the patients. I've concluded that I'm not fond of RN's.

@@pokenurse1 I just had a guy come in for minor chest tightness and we did an EKG. It was said that it showed bradycardia. I looked and immediately noticed 3rd degree block. I told the doc we need pacing. I got him versed, fentanyl, and got him hooked to trans/pacing, called the helicopter and had him flown out. He was going to be discharged with a damn 3rd degree block. No one is ever going to say a word to me about it. I work in rural access ER and no one here has ever paced anyone. I just got that done and no one will ever say a word to me about it. In fact, the guy’s wife was rude as shit to me about the whole thing. I won’t receive a thank you, won’t hear “good job”, no one even seems to recognize that I caught that before he got discharged with a 3rd degree block and died. I don’t go around giving myself credit or asking for it, but I know if one of the managers caught that they’d be getting their picture taken and handed a plaque. I’m not in the clique so no one is even going to care. More likely they’re going to send me an email about some charting error or something.

February 10 th last year year. Day two post-op. Ovarian cancer- I’d been gutted like a fish. One of my nurses came in and asked if I wanted to stand by the bed. I gave her an honest answer. But I’d promised myself and my hushed in while do ask I could recover. That nurse literally held me up as I have my all to just stand by my bed. I’m a former nurse. I’ve had great colleagues and I’ve had colleagues who should not be in charge of a goldfish. But this nurse helped me in the long road to recovery. It’s hard work and I hope your patients appreciate the work you do

Maybe the way the nurses during the plandemic aided doctors killing people, going along telling people the hospitals were full yet in truth they were empty. Doesn't mean this guy won't obey orders and do the same for a couple bucks, like most all the nurses did. I hope for the best for him, and real smart move to save.

We need more video like this.... doing daily routine stuff, so we can get more inspiration or motivation if anyone want to start this lifestyle and start doing this as well.

Having been a patient several times now a good nurse is worth their weight in gold. Ive had good and bad and its really really hard to be vulnerable and have a nurse that just doesnt give a chit. Best wishes to you.

❤Good afternoon to you from Medina Ohio 😊

Many people have no idea how stressful and difficult nursing is. I was an NP. Even when not "working" I was always reviewing my day's events, thinking about the next day and how my patients and their families were doing, and reading journals. I rarely felt I'd done enough but knew I'd done what I could within the time and financial constraints. I've been a patient a few times and made sure the staff knew I appreciated them (without revealing my secret identity). A good nurse is hard to find these days. Their love for nursing has been drained out by poor management. Keep going and know you are appreciated.

I totally relate to this young man. I am a Travel Respiratory Care Practitioner. I am on my current assignment in Virginia. My assignment facility is located 2 hours from where I am currently staying full time which is a very nice restored historic hotel converted to high end apartments. I work six 12 hour days followed by 8 off days. During the 6 days I work at the facility I live in my vehicle in the hospital parking area doing the same daily activities as this young man. It’s not so bad really. I save a lot of gas since I don’t have to drive back and forth to work and nor do I have to waste good hard earned money on a hotel. I also have easy access to the hospital restrooms and cafeteria as needed. Oh, and I get to walk just a few steps to work every day. I think I’ve got a good deal! … Thank you for giving me added inspiration! PS: I was also nominated for the Daisy Award in 2022!😊

Super smart way of living !!!! 😊😊 saving a lot of money in this economy 💁🏻‍♀️ you are a conscious and intelligent guy , hard worker ❤ and contributing a lot to the society being a nurse 👨‍⚕️

There is a difference between the number of male nurses versus female nurses. Statistically, male nurses are at a record high of 21% in 2021 compared to 7% in 2008 based on "registered nurse" statistics. I worked for a phone company for 18 years, and there was a 20 to 1 female versus male in that industry. So, speaking about an industry that in past years was primarily women IS GOOD. I will not be told what to think or speak about because I grew up in the US in the 60s and 70s. I know the power of freedom of speech. It keeps us free!

Whoever made that comment is jealous!! Your doing you boo ❤💰💰🇺🇸💤 and we see you ✊🏽

Awesome! From a fellow nurse to another: you are being very smart! I know how hard nurses work!!

The truth about watching your videos is that how much space actually we need truly to live in and how much money and energy we are wasting in our lifetime to live bigger and unhealthier for nothing!

I have watched hundreds maybe 1000 videos of people living in vans and RVs because it fascinates me and you are the most amazing of them all. First of all hats off to you for your work.
