The nurse I had when I was in the hospital was so kind and understanding and he didn't ask questions when I told him to keep my grandfather away from me, he kept everyone except my mom out of the room somehow, and it was so jarring and felt so good to have someone treat me like a human being and be able to talk to my mom without worrying about someone judging us.

It usually isn’t a pleasant experience when having to report an incident like she did. When I had to report an incident that really was a big ‘NO-NO’ where I worked, the doctor was not ever even a bit pleasant to me after that (he was reprimanded and he actively tried to get me fired). I had made sure to go through the proper channels as per hospital protocol.

Mr. & Mrs Smith : I know that the pain of a gallbladder attack can be excruciating!!! I had my first attack when I was in my second trimester of pregnancy. Being a military spouse, I went to the base hospital because the pain had me doubled over. When my nurse there tried to explain to the doctor that my symptoms seemed to indicate a gallbladder attack, he kept saying it was probably an ectopic pregnancy or appendicitis (even tough I not longer had an appendix!!). I knew it wasn’t an ectopic because since I worked in Labor and Delivery (RN) at the off base hospital, we had used the fetoscope to hear the heartbeat (this was before fetal monitor machines, EFMs). That doctor ignored the nurse and my classic gallbladder attack symptoms and did the painful procedure used back then to check for ectopics. Needless to say, it wasn’t an ectopic pregnancy and I was admitted, then I had a nasogastric tube put in and it was connected to a low intermittent suction machine (not fun at all) plus IVs in each arm for the antibiotics.

I wrecked my motorcycle recently. Outside of the doctors and NP/PAs in the ER and OR, 99% of my time was with RNs and LPNs. The most amazing, educated, kind, and dedicated people. Go nurses! I saw doctors in the ICU and recovery ward never, only in the OR or for 3 seconds pre/post op. Seeing "PT was WTC, alert, kind, and pleasant" in my notes meant they saw how much I respected them (it was note worthy!). Nurses of all levels are underrated and wrote 98% of my notes and were just there for me. I thank all of you! *oh, shout out to Nurse Bill who was there as I cried in pain trying to stand for the first time post accident. The most kind and empathetic person who was just encouraging the whole way. And Nurse Karen for being my rock.

The issues w it these days are : the pay -a new grad should not make near the same as a RN w 20 years of experience. Experience counts. New grads staffing ERs with already not enough staff. Hospitals have became a business, not a healthcare facility. Same for long term care facilities. Look at cases coming out of those places. Nice video. Though! Thank you!

I definitely agree about what you said about nurses. My grandfather was in hospital for two months because of a big tumour in his throat. Yesterday he passed away from pneumonia at the age of 86. Anyways your right about the nurses. When he was in hospital he saw a doctor for about 15 minutes each morning. Everything else was nurses. Since this got so many likes I’m going to write some things I know the nurses did. Every time he clicked the call button they came, when he wanted to move from his chair to his bed they helped him, when he wanted to go to the bathroom they unhooked all his machines. They checked up on him hourly, cleaned out his tracheotomy, brought him for walks around the hospital which required two nurses, the did that even when their was no order from the doctors to do so. They also organized with the help of others for him to go home for a day. He loved it. I am forever thankful for those nurses at Muskoka Algonquin Health Centre.

Aqua Li : I certainly do emphasize with you. Back in the 1970s when I first started out as a new RN working in a very small hospital, I stayed busy from the time I clocked in (time cards back then) till I left (usually late so that I could finish all the necessary paperwork). I was usually the only RN for the whole place (evening and night shifts) that meant not only patient care but also all of the respiratory and physical therapy treatments. I learned so much though as it was a job where I would either ‘sink or swim’!! Orientation back then was only two weeks at that hospital and after four months I moved to another state.

I'm in france btw so even the price argument makes me cringe VERY hard. And they spit on the whole healthcare units as a whole for just misunderstanding the field and the work that gets done there. While whining about clients that whine when they don't understand that a good meal takes time to prepare. It kills me every single fucking time.

The nurses at the hospice that took care of my sister when she was dying were the kindest, most amazing people I've ever met. I would not have gotten through that situation without their support.

Thank you for that! We really don't get the gratitude that we deserve. But when you lose a patient and the family hugs you tight, you know that you have made a difference and it isn't all for nothing. As an ICU nurse for 10 years, I have had my share of threats, guns pulled on me, bomb threats, punches, pushes, etc. But I have also had my share of amazing and meaningful days. Days where I laugh, cry, save a life, help a suicidal patient, make a patient laugh who is depressed, joke around and most of all love my day. Doctors like you are what make our job easier and more fulfilling. I love being my doctors right hand man, we are a team and it makes it more special when we function like one. ❤❤❤❤

My mom is a retired nurse!! My dad is a retired doctor! Mom never got the recognition she deserved!! She’s the best. Nurses are the best. Nurses as you have said Mike, are the back bone of the hospital!

I'm a doctor too and getting along with the nurses is the key to the job. I see some doctors who are mean to nurses, which isn't exactly teamworking. Nursing is a tough job, they do so much for the patients when doctors aren't around

My mom is a nurse and I can never be one, but hearing stories from her friends and watching how much she is and so many nurses work is amazing. I tease and joke with her about how much you the hospital love my mom more then me and my family. That being said can I have my mom back now she work five 12 hours shifts and is tired.

for me 3rd year was the toughest and yet one of the funniest

My mother is a nurse practitioner now, but was an RN for ten years before she went back to school for her Master's. She's incredible!! I always ask her first whether I should go to a doctor or not if I'm worried about my health. People who want to be nurses better love people though because you see many different kinds of people at their best AND worst.

After 16 years in different profession I am due to qualify as a RN in September. Best think I have ever done. Such an amazing profession that makes real difference in so many peoples' lifes. Happy nurses week ❤

When I was the sickest I'd ever been, just woke up from a 7 day induced coma, one of the nurses that worked with me put off her lunch to help me hobble to the nurses showers. She got a shower chair for me, and those mini shampoos, so I could have a real shower. I felt so gross and demoralized when I woke up and that shower made me feel so much better. It pushed me to work harder when the PT came and feel like I could have friends visit which made me feel even stronger. All hail nurses, that one small act of kindness totally turned around my recovery

I also volunteered at our local nursing home when I was a teen (in the 1960s). They knew that I was going to go to become a nurse so they taught me about how nurses worked. I was allowed to help patients with bed baths, fed those who could not do it by themselves, and did whatever they allowed me to do. I was grateful for this as it helped me later to be able to adjust to the frantic pace of nursing a bit better than those who had no hands on experience at all.

I’m in nursing school and thank you for this video!

Nurses are amazing ! I spent a few months in the hospital. It was a scary and depressing time for me. I don’t think I would have gotten through it without the AMAZING nurses ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Your video really shows that you have a great teamwork with your nurses and that you respect each other. Thanks for educating your viewers on what are the duties of professions in the medical field. This helps young people to make job decisions and it also increases the awareness of every patient. I have a lot of respect for nurses. I have been thru some serious surgery and had to stay in the hospital for quite a while. Since they felt I was very nice, they volunteered to wash my hair (while I was in bed and could hardly move) and refused to take a tip. Thank you.

There was actually a Grey’s Anatomy episode where the nurses were on strike and talk about some doctors not appreciating them. It gave a somewhat good light onto how important nurses actually are and how the hospital can’t function without them.

livepassionately247 Well thank you. And I would definitely see if you have a “teaching hospital” in your area. Ones that train residents. They are much more likely to let you shadow a nurse for a shift. If there’s a certain field you think you would be interested in ask that manager. I have never seen them turn someone down wanting to watch and get a feel for it bc school isn’t easy and no one wants you wasting your time if you get in there and don’t like it! I would also read on some websites “there’s a ton” about nurses experiences good and bad. I picked nursing to begin with well my mother and grandmother are nurses and also like he said the stability, the options, etc. my mom loves geriatrics. love labor and delivery. And have done travel nursing. Got to see Hawaii. There are so many options. You can do insurance and be at a desk or trauma and have fun shot would patients. Sounds like an easy question but trying to explain I feel like I’m not answering you the way I would like to. My first thing is think of what you would be interested in and then find a teaching hospital that will let you shadow. I love having people shadow and teaching so I hope you def do so and thank you so much for asking. And I’ll check back see if there’s anything else I can help you with. Give you my twitter. Or whatever else I can do to help. Ty Again! Sorry meant I love labor and delivery would t let me edit for some reason but got into it bc family my mom and I graduated together lol. But stayed for the love of patients and coworkers!!! So don’t be discouraged if don’t like one field you thought you would there are hundreds out there. Like o said feel free anytime to contact or I can give you my twitter.

When my son (age 3-7) was going through his treatment for brain and spine cancer-atypical anaplastic ependymoma, the doctors were wonderful, but it was the nurses that made the journey that much more bearable. After 4 years getting to know them we grew to love them and they became a second family to us. I remember every morning for we'd have to go into outpatients of the pediatric oncology ward and get GCSF injected into my son's insuflon, he was always so frightened it would hurt because if you went too fast it would sting him. Being only 3 at the time it was hard to explain to him that he would be okay. Those nurses went above and beyond (every morning because short term memory loss from treatment) making him feel safe and secure.

Wow just watched this and I have to say a big thank you for doing this. I’m new to the channel but have been a nurse for almost 15 years and I’ve never heard anything like this. Thank you so much for helping me feel seen.

I just hit my one year mark in nursing! You are correct about nursing being a great career. I absolutely love it! Thank you for making this video!!

When I was a student nurse, I tried to talk to one of the doctors at a small country hospital about his patient whom I ha reason to believe was experiencing a slow GI bleed which had the capacity to become a hemorrhage and needed to have an endoscopy to investigate and was shut down based on my being only a student and whats more, just a nurse. The patient was slowly dropping their pressure, was experiencing abdominal pain, signs of shock and melina. Also, his emises had evidence of hemoglobin. Latter that day his pressure dropped massively, his abdomen became distended and he had to be rushed to the nearest major city for emergency surgery. It was very frustrating to me even then not to be taken seriously in spite of the numbers and the data on the basis that I am just a nurse. I don't know if that patient is still alive today. From the moment I had taken a days worth of vitals on him, I knew his thermodynamic status was poor and that that hospital was not equipped to deal with it should he crash. and he did. that equals wasted resources, That patient should have been transported sooner so that he would be treated sooner. It wasn't until he crashed that the doctor saw fit to do something. If a nurse comes to you and you're a doctor and they tell you they are worried for a patient and that's reflected in whatever data they can provide about their condition, for god's sake go and see the patient!!!! On the flip side, another time I was admitting a patient to rehab and taking their pulse and ECG, standard practice in a rehab ward. I noticed her radial pulse was highly irregular, as were her heart sounds. She was also talking loop diuretics and cardiac glycosides. Her legs were extremely odematous and her ECG showed non existent P waves, irregular QRS complexes and at least three PVCs. I took this ECG to her doctor and explained to them, their patients ECG was highly irregular, she's been on these drugs for some time with no effect so she was at risk of toxicity and I pointed out the PVCs. They listened and then without a word to my background, took the ECG paper and walked into her room. I found out latter that day the patient' dosages had been changed and she had had blood taken for therapeutic levels as well as a cardiac enzyme and FBE. I was astonished, that doctor actually listened to me despite my being a student nurse and in bringing it to his attention, its likely together we saved the patients life. I was exhilarated. I may be a nurse, but I live for those times I get to work closely and collaboratively with doctors because those are the times when I learn the most.

I just graduated Nursing School and start in the ED at a level 2 trauma center this month, I really appreciate this video. I put a ton of thought into deciding between the nursing track and the medical school track, and they are incredibly different career paths. The team works best when everyone knows their role and respects eachother as integral parts of the healthcare team (shout out to the nurse who said "doctors save lives too, we all do")

I saved this in my "watch later" like 2 years ago and now I'm going through the list and found this video. I'm in nursing school right now and I appreciate this video, because as I'm learning and going through clinicals I am seeing just how much nurses do for patients, their families, coworkers, etc.

I really appreciate this video. My mom is a nurse and I really don't think some people realize how involved they are. There are the heart warming stories and the more difficult ones.

Stay happy and healthy 😉 Thank you Dr.Mike ❤️
