Hey bro, nice video enlightening the reality of working as a nurse abroad. Who feels it knows it. I agree the compensation is much better and the resources are here but it's a different energy from working back home. I am privileged to work in a small facility,but from time to time things get crazy hectic . The roles and responsibilities here are much more than we do back home. Sometimes we don't realize and appreciate what we have until we lose it. I'm still grateful we were able to migrate and have a different experience.
@@rochellewilliams2022 trust me, I wish every Jamaican nurse could experience the difference. But I guess in all things there are pros and cons and a trade off. Thanks for watching ! 🙏🏾😄
More 💪🙌to you take care while you're striving thanks for opening the eyes of those with the misconception of coming to and working in America no road is paved here in gold.Respect
Everything you said here is 100% true! I'll also add that we are also working holidays and weekends and odd hours and bereavement time and vacation time aren't anywhere what you deserve for all the work and massive workload you put in. Nurses are getting burnt out earlier now than before Covid. Shorter staffed with a heavier workload, same pay and not much support. It's crazy for bedside Nurses.
Good day am sorry to intrude on your page.Well I wish you all d best in what you doing. Just that NURSING was my goal, growing up but am slowly getting there. Who feels it knows it, never easy been a NURSE, whether in JAMAICA or outside. Dont feel bad about it, yes its hard sometimes, but look back where God brought you from .Hello God have you there for a purpose, little that you do while God is in it its good. So my encouragement to you is hang in there, fight for strength coz God have your back n He is still in control . ONE LOVE BRO. keep PRAYING God is good ❤❤❤❤
Rough Baadddd!! Listening to you I'm retraumatize!!! I don't know how I did it for 9years...Alarm Fatigue would kill me!! For the last 3 years I have been a procedure nurse, I could never see myself doing bedside ever again!!
You are speaking the truth. .the pace is very fast, If the patient asks for a bed pan, you can't say I will send you the attendant like I experienced in Jamaica.
Excellent video. Thank you. You appear to be an excellent nurse. Keep up the good work. Jamaica tend sto lose the good professionals to other countries. I have witnessed some very low quality of care when I take family members to hospitals in Jamaica, many of the doctors and nurses act as if they don’t care and they are the center of the universe (unbelievable) In many countries, staff is held more accountable for the quality of patient care.
You are in point with the comparison with the cost of housing, you work the money but the cost of living in America ain't no joke. When I told an American the cost of house rental in Jamaica he was shocked.
We all say it. We are grateful for the opportunity but the quality of life was honesty much better in Jamaica. My mental health is super important so i finally left the hospital. A whole lot more to say but thats for another day. Stay strong bro.
Cost of living is high in America. There is no comparison where cost of living is concerned. Yuh work fi every penny yuh get in America. As a medsurg nurse it is very rough. At the end of 12 hour shift is as if someone gave me a good flogging. Body tired. Non stop work from yuh clock in. Not even bathroom break yuh can't get sometimes.
Great video, you are so right. I am working in a Caribbean country and my experience is basically the same. Less patients but more work both physically and mentally.
My husband came up in january abd started the hha, i can see its taking a toll on him, the medical field is not fir everyone, i will contiue to pray for him, thanks for the video, i can try and put myself in his shoes, as someone born in America, this transition must be rough
Good you got the experience when the UIC 🔵 start rebuilding Jamaica so we can return you’re a key man with all the others like yourself nuff respect to you and all Jamaican nurse well rounded with this experience.
Mi glad yuh can highlight the reality working as a nurse here. I am coming from UWI and when I get here I was shock. The hardest I ever work in my life as a nurse.
Not working retired years ago. I must say. I am shocked how people leave they land in Jamaica to pay rent in America. Most Americans rent. .. For other people apartments. Here in England we try hard to own where we live in England of they lives.....
Most time we don’t even have time to eat because of the work and this is in Jamaica here yes when u specializesd it’s not so bad this is in Jamaica also too
They do, many units have an assigned ‘learning specialist’. That person is responsible for teaching staff to use new technology as they are rolled out, and they also reinforce what is best practice per policy. Good question cuz !
@@onychaparks8823 thanks for sharing. Even so, when the conversation is done you won’t find something decent for that price in the US at all . Thanks for watching !

This is great to hear you with work experience in Jamaica and US ..i have always wondered about worklife for Healthcare workers in Jamaica.
Why you leave out the the lab? Big respect to RNs..coming from a Lab Tech wey bother unnuh wid critical values ❤

I'm working in rehab now but want to switch to nursing. But America's nursing culture is so scary
It's not scary at all.
Night shift all the way. Day shift gets less pts 1:3-4. Team working is on my unit so I’m grateful
1 hour lunch break for us here 😊
Sounds like paradise ! 😄
Nice !
Dawg eat Dawg yasso massa. Nurse money ain't no easy to make my dear. Yu wuk till u yu can't eat or pee.

Pink and white in Jamaica is call ward assistant
Get a mortgage and rent out a room or two to students or working people
I can attest to this medsurg was not easy and that was 7 years ago. And it’s worse now
Truth
50k-120 for a studio, half side a house or a good apartment.
Oh okay 👍🏾. Even at $120 K JMD, can’t find a decent place in US for that price .
Hey mi son long time wonderful
Transfer to icu. One or two patients. Ok just saw you're in dialysis. Great. I work in Nyc and make $70/hr with differential.
I can attest to that hon, it not easy.
Y0u need to work in a hospital that give pension in retirement,401k or 403b, barely help
Boye your shift sounds like working at the Kph in Jamaica a lovely day at work is 6 -8 7patients always a Very I’ll patient in the mixed
This was a very important video I would like to know which Area you live in? Do you work in A Union hospital? because that makes a big difference.
Most time we don’t even have time to eat because of the work and this is in Jamaica here yes when u specializesd it’s not so bad this is in Jamaica also too
Healthcare jobs in America pays well however if you're not wise with your decisions it will drain you.
True !

Rough manno lol but bite and gwaan papa … a face it over here to Maasa …. Rough
Want good yuh nose haffi run massa !!
👍👍
Thanks for watching Shan !
In your time there, would you say hospitals invest heavily in training their nurses?
They do, many units have an assigned ‘learning specialist’. That person is responsible for teaching staff to use new technology as they are rolled out, and they also reinforce what is best practice per policy. Good question cuz !
I am lpn nurse in Jamaica I would like to come the state to work
May I ask where in jamaica u did ur lpn course😊
130 beds
In America u.mess up ith patient u in big problem😮unlike Jamaica nobody no care

@@DerronSpeaks u live in Ny area?u dont afto answer
@@DerronSpeaks how can I apply to come work in the state
You out of loop because to get a descent home to live looking at at leastJA $100,000k not to mention the gated community homes
