Very nice,well done. I had completely forgotten about the frog leg system. I have been using rigid wheelchairs for about 12 years now. But my caster wheels 🛞 don't last very long because of my very active lifestyle. Just last month, I went riding downhill here in PR for about 33 minutes from top to bottom, I started in one town and ended up in another lol. I waited until I had 4 brand new tires to do that. After 30 minutes or so, my casters were worned out about half the rubber because it wasn't a very smooth road. I wonder if the frog legs would have helped a little bit. Please let me know. Also, check out that epic ride here on RUclips- Riding downhill in my wheelchair, Maricao PR.

Is there a good place to regain basic knowledge? I was a L&D nurse for five years, left 25 yrs ago. Was a CNM in a home birth practice and didn’t do that very long while having and caring for my kids. My various licenses (different states) have never lapsed. Have been offered a job in L&D and seriously considering but I have the added challenge of not really agreeing with most of the practices sorry to say

I've been away from the bedside for 4 years and I am having a difficult time because hospitals want recent experience. I don't want to work at a SNF because the nurse-to-patient ratio is dangerous. I don't know what to do.

Thank you for this video. The information provided was very helpful!

I owned a home care agency for 10 years and I did not use any of my nursing skills for over 12 years. I really want to start bedside nursing again.

Grat info , thank you!

I was an icu nurse and did multiple code blue during covid all these evidence based care measures didn't help because of the patient complex diseases polysubstance that they won't admit bedside is getting heavier bottom line if I can have your degree I won't go back in bedside I got back injury and not able to work at bedside i love what I do but my body told me I can't do it anymore but I can be a good resource.❤❤❤

Thank you for your video. I currently have my BSN and work as adjunct faculty as a Clinical Instructor. Last week I applied for graduate school for nursing education. Your video has helped ease my anxiety.

Thank you

Great video! What company should I use when ordering a chair?

Great introduction video! I am a Cardiology Nurse Navigator with an MSN. I been tabbed to apply for this position by a new CNO. It would be my first position requiring a MSN. I’m thrilled for that, but have concerns. My current position gives me a lot of autonomy; I have authority over my process but work almost alone in my role. It’s been 4 years. This isolation is not new to me as I was a mechanical engineer of sorts (Tool & Die Designer) in the past. I found your comment on the lack of authority interesting. Can you elaborate a little more on that. Also, How long did it take to really get a sense of the breath of the responsibility of the job; it seems titanic. Did you have a daily process which achieve your weekly, monthly and quarterly goals? What did your day look like? Lastly, the DNP is an interesting tidbit… Back to school? Oh no!! Again, great introduction video!! Thanks!!

This video was invaluable. I am handicapped or disabled, or whatever PC term you want to use. If you are contacted by yours truly concerning “making airlines better for disabled people” don’t be shocked. I like how your video wasn’t a 100% vent; you also gave recommendations. The TSA dehumanizing process is my largest beef as of now. That needs changing! Thank you.

This is an excellent video. I am L2-L5 incomplete para, and fly twice to three times a year. It can be a horrible experience. Especially re: use of bathroom. I fly from Florida to Ireland every year, and dread, absolutely dread the bathroom. Staff can hate when I ask them for assistance and getting out the aisle chair. Please be respectful 'staff'. I am a person also.

This is exactly how I’m feeling now and a lot of my nurse friends are feeling the same. I hate working 5 days per week but really tired after working 3 12’s. I feel really lost and stressed.

This was helpful. I got my license in 1988 and gave it up in 2004 due to going overseas. I'm 64 and getting ready to take a nurse refresher course. When I was nursing, we didn't really use computers that much and actually wrote in the charts. That's how long it has been. I worked a ton of hours back in my youth and it's funny neuro is her background because neuro is my background too. First job was on a neuro floor and I was put in charge of it 2 weeks after I graduated. Talk about a nursing shortage where they would do that to you. Pretty sure that would never happen now. In additional to that I worked ICU, a little ER, sub acute and just about every field other than peds and OB/GYN. I may try home health if I can get through the program but I don't plan on my age working any 12 hour shifts or anything that is high stressed or even experiences short staffing. I just want to exercise my brain and as an RN there is much more than hospital nursing but who knows? I've been looking over youtube vides to refresh myself on various nursing skills and I think most will come back to me. I honestly believe someone could get their RN degree just through youtube and doing an internship with an experienced nurse LOL I agree the knowledge part will be the part to focus on. I use to know all the drugs like the back of my hand. Do you think they've changed in 20 years? HA! Appreciate your perspective. Start my theory part mid Feb.

Thank you for sharing ❤ I’m an icu & Er nurse ( float pool) I carry a big ass bag too. People would laugh if I did a video like this I have tuns of items starting from small toys/ puzzles crayons, essential oils, small diffuser, low level lasers, small charts on quick reference pressure points for pain, an electric acupressure pen, a small book with scrips for hypnosis/ guided imagery, my COVID p100 mask, chargers multiple for my patients… pens, case for my stethoscope and nursing needs … light , raptor shears .. I could go on … I practice integrative holistic nursing with my patients 😊

i never thought about it i found airlines helpfull as long you inform them in advance they are pretty good in general and if its a choice of going on a plane or being stuck in my house rest of my life i rather take plane and go on holiday than stay at home but thats just me

This is what I needed :) thank you for this vid

@@@hello

This video was kind of funny. How about an updated LinkedIn page? Just sayin.

Omg! 10 years of home care business owner here. Went back to skilled nursing… I was sweating as I was watched by the DON while I performed nursing skills during orientation 🧐

Though I agree, to better enable travelers, your trip would cost thousands of dollars. I can't even use a rollator and get to a toilet. They don't make money unless they pack people like sardines. Train travel is better until you have to switch to bus (noo) or Uber. We arrived at our hospital appointment in a Lamborghini. Sounds cool, but it was so stupid to have that in rotation.

Nurses lie... they're human.

This is so important!

Give me 1 pic please

Have you traveled by train?

This is an eye-opener! Thanks Ms Lisa! Now I know what I will be doing in the next couple of years..thank you for this motivation and for introducing us to the program.❤❤❤

I love your videos, thank you so much! Please keep making more..🎉❤❤❤

❤❤

👩🏻‍⚕️What RUclips channels do y’all recommend for brushing up on med surg skills? Especially geriatric care?👩🏻‍⚕️

Thank you dear Lisa❤

Thank you! Its really help

Thank you Lisa

While I'm not an everyday wheelchair user (I have one but don't bring it when flying which is rare) I do use leg braces, forearm crutches (these typically get stored in the same closet that the captins of the plane who are flying stash their luggage) because I have joint mobility issues along with self-propellsion issues from several severe chronic pain conditions. Because of the leg braces and the severe chronic pain conditions, I opt for a modified strip search (they give me a chair that they allow me to sit on the giant towel that I use as a shawl (secured with a hair clip) and to sit on for a strip search (for the TSA check). When I have to get around the airport I will always opt for a wheelchair to get around and because I can't easily get off of planes due to muscle spasms from not being able to move easily on the plane I have to request the use of an aisle chair but lucky me, I can keep my butt in the tiny ass chair so I don't have to get strapped to it lol. Although, because I make my own Gatorade (powder mixed with water) I have to let TSA check my Gatorade powder because the flavor (glacial cherry) looks like the forbidden certain white powders of certain drugs (I don't think that I have to list what they are, lol). I make my own Gatorade powder because I have hypovolimea courtesy of dysautonomia and I require the electrolytes that are in the Gatorade powder plus prescription electrolyte drops cause otherwise I would have to be connected to custom made TPN run with my iv pump which I am not a fan of traveling with OR have to travel with a shit ton of those giant elasticomer balls filled by my infusion pharmacy to pump the fluids into me via my port because my body's blood pressure has enough pressure behind it to back blood into the line all the way into the bag--> NOT GOOD.

Thank you/ You are amazing!

Omg thank you thank you for making this video! I have been a bedside nurse for 9 years and finally pursuing my dream of being a nurse educator at a university. I am very excited but sooooo nervous and have been trying to find more info on RUclips as I prepare but not finding many! I came across your video and it was so informative and motivating. Thank you so much! 🙏

Thank you for sharing your experience. This video is exactly what I needed to come across, as I am currently looking into becoming a nurse educator. I found myself questioning if this is something that I can achieve. I assumed that I had to be a perfectionist from the jump, but you gave me all the confirmation and insights that I needed to hear. You're truly a blessing. Thank you :)

I'm literally trying to understand how to make/create SMART goals for my patients in clinical. My brain goes blank trying to do these.

OMG, I am feeling like that. I need to think about my next step.

Thank you for this. Ive been a Nurse for 20 yrs. Only did cumulative SNF for approx. 6 yrs. Most of my career I've been in outpatient Clinical management, and supervision, the other half I've worked in outpatient psych. I recently took a job as a faculty apprentice. I am teaching the Practical Nurse Program, and I feel like there's so much I forgot. The skills, I still have, the knowledge is spotty. I have clinicals now with 11 students and I'm dealing with imposter syndrome. I am frantically studying trying to get the knowledge base back, with the critical thinking skills and putting it all together. I love teaching, but feel so inadequate. I will hang in there and keep studying, but I'm tired lol

Hi 👋🏻 I just discovered you today while searching about nurse coaching . Have you completed it ? How are you doing ? You haven’t posted a video in a year and I was just wondering how it worked out . Looking forward to hearing from you ! 1:50

i also planning to return , but worrying about the references. i dont have contact details of people i was working.

The best thing I did, when I used to work is get out of bedside nursing and do QI in home health. Still, I had to get a coding certificate and become a coder, which was all I could do with an associates degree. I hated that job. But, because I have a severe disability, I retired. It was the best thing to happen to me. The only way for you to be less tired at bedside nursing is working part time. I used to do that, until I figured out what I wanted to do. I wish that I had more support, in my days.

Great video. I would like to debunk the myth that male RN's progress quickly up the ladder. The only reason why I made it to a desk job after 7 years of direct care providing is the employer was mass hiring in a field I had trained in. I was turned down for many positions up the ladder only to find that the manager hired her best friend who was of course female. One thing I always find dismissive in nursing is when we are sick we have to go to our physician to authenticate we are indeed sick and may even require shelling out for a sick note! I guess we aren't the most trusted profession.

Did you do a refresher course? I've been away from bedside for 11 years and renewed my license 3 years ago to get my BSN (graduated in December of 2021, started in August of 2020). My only bedside experience was as a student, really. Do you think it would be worth a refresher course or should I just go for a job and suffice with orientation?

I really love this- I'm going into education and I need to brush up on the knowledge part in order to be able to expertly review the content in clinical with my students.

Thank you for your honesty; it’s refreshing ❤

Thank you !! I relate and agree!!! Just what I needed❤

I really enjoy the talking with calm and clear tone.

I’ve been away from bedside for 7 years and considering back. I needed to see this video!!!Where can I find the cheat sheet? Thank you😊
