I work in healthcare, and seeing the video of the OB nurses ranting about patients is an ick to me. These patients are our priority, and they should be treated respectfully, period!
what i don't understand is why someone refusing pain meds when they're in a lot of pain is an ick for that nurse. like how is that affecting you in anyway that makes you feel entitled to feeling icked by THIER decision concerning Their body? not to mention an epidural is a needle in your spine, that carries the risk of being paralyzed if its done wrong.
The definition for midwifery is..."skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate care for childbearing women" I didn't see any of that here. Really bad form!
@@littlekaren1551, I'll play devil's advocate. If someone is complaining about that level of pain when the ball just got rolling, by the time she was fully dilated and things get intense, often they will be screaming for that epidural they refused and at this stage can no longer get. Seen it many times. Btw, epidurals are placed by anesthesiologists who have YEARS of education and do them pretty much every day. Also, it's a catheter (flexible) not a needle (rigid).
I had a nurse call me a drug seeker 4 hours after my spinal fusion in ICU. She said I shouldn't be in so much pain. Turns out she DID NOT READ MY CHART. I had complications in that they accidentally gave me a hernia and gave me a perforated bowl they had to fix in surgery so the crazy amount of pain from.being cut in half and part of my spine replaced with metal brackets was probably enough on its own to need pain meds prescribed to me but the additional pain was not a joke and she just kept saying I should wait and not take it every 4 hours even though doctor said I could have it every 4 hours. Some nurses are evil. Sorry. But they are. You have to stand up for yourself. Because they don't care if you suffer. It is not them suffering.
@MaeRose26 reported her. But they made excuses that she usually works in ER and did not understand the spinal surgery process. How do you not understand someone who was cut in half being in pain? But that is what some nurses are like and the hospital defended her. Redlands Hospital in California.
@MaeRose26 it happens a lot now! My mother in law was called a drug seeker in NC but no one even noticed she had a fractured leg! Until I raised hell about them helping her. She is afraid of pain meds because she gets sick easily from them but they made her feel horrible for even asking. They treat lots of people who are actually hurt like trash because they don't even listen to why they are there. And don't care if you are in pain. It happens a lot to spinal patients too. I knew people who ended their life after the pain they were in and were treated like junkies and couldn't live with it. And it makes me hate junkies because they get high off pain meds. When you are truly in pain the meds just stop the pain and make you able to sleep. And yet patients suffer because no one cares about them because of the junkies. It is so frustrating. I know people with spinal implants to try to control the pain without meds and they are still treated badly.
@@rachelcampbell9733and there’s a lot of nurses who are addicts themselves and call everyone else the drug seekers. OP’s nurse was was taking the pain meds for her and then trying to talk her into waiting longer for the next dose. “You’re drug seeking…” because if you don’t seek out your rightfully prescribed meds, they can just disappear
As someone who has had chronic Illness for 14 years and often in many different ER/ hospitals. Nurses and doctors are usually condescending a$$holes. They assume everyone is the same. Like when I had a cyclical vomiting episode due to my PTSD and they insisted I took meth.. I definitely didn’t.. I was just in an area with high amounts of meth heads and they assumed I was one..
The 'mean girl'-to-nurse pipeline is such a real thing. Of course there are a ton of people within that profession who are wonderful, kind, altruistic, etc, but for an upsettingly not insignificant number, it's a way to be able to keep people under their control. It's a way they get to keep bullying.
I've had some absolutely shocking experiences nursing in aged care. Yes people can be rude, horrible and all the rest but it is literally our job to care for them. And at least over half of the people I work with are just horrible and on a major power trip when it comes to other staff
Tell me about it. I found out recently that my bully who as kids stole from me, hid my library books until my family had to pay even though we were poor, whom got my student peers including my best friend to turn against me, who hid my coats in the winter time during recess, and lied on me and about me nonstop is now working at a hospital as a patient representative. I want to believe she feels bad and is making up for the evil she did as a youngster, but seeing how some healthcare employees act, I'm now doubting that. Lol
I’ve got one at pain management that is so bad I want to switch pain management doctors every time I deal with this woman, and my provider is fantastic. She doesn’t even make me come in every month but I still go in every month because that’s easier than getting a refill over the phone, or through the app, because apparently this nurse doesn’t check either one. The months that I have to go in for pill counts and drug tests are way less stressful than the months I just have to call in for my refill. All because of a nurse who wants to be cruel for no reason.
What's really sad about the woman who wasn't hired because of her boudoir photo shoot, is that she wrote a book about how in 2010 when she was 19, she was kidnapped and held as a sex slave by her boss for SIX WEEKS! And she had posted her photo shoot because she was trying to come to terms with her body and how she looks, after surviving such a horrific situation, and that cost her a job opportunity! The AUDACITY!
I agree. Something like this, though, there should be a caveat before explaining the photos on the platform: "So, this is for all the HR departments that will likely come at me for these photos. If you're here checking to see if I would be a good fit for your company, please, continue reading the story behind these photos. If you have questions or concerns please feel free to follow up with me with those questions or concerns. I am happy to answer honestly." I mean, yeah, it's annoying to put that there, but the fact is that most companies/corporations WILL search social media. And they WILL judge you over your content.
My trafficker tried to make me do porn, so he could get money off of me. I refused and was beaten every time. As a childcare professional now, getting beat was worth it. I don't have to worry about not getting hired for something I was forced to do by a monster.
Is why I don't do social media. My private life is no -one's business but mine. I also don't want to "friend" people or have that convo - I work with/for you, that's it.
UNfun fact: a GOOD portion of nursed are former hs and ms bullies. My mom is a nurse in HR and education and she's straight rejected several applications at her job from one person bc they repeated bullied me and told me to kms for like 5 years. "That is NOT a person I want to trust with my elderly patients" she said.
I just had a similar convo with coworkers cause I had a hs bully as a nurse that was at my hospital and I switched doctors/hospitals and they asked “why don’t you want to see their progress and the way they’ve changed for the better” but that doesn’t matter to me- I won’t truly see if they’re a better person and I don’t want them being a person who is supposed to help me with medications and diagnoses. I’m over the bullying and they can be a fantastic person but I’m not gonna put myself in the position of having to work/rely on them
@bootychomper-ej9qt you ever heard of providing examples? That's what that was. The example of a former bully going into medical care that was directly linked to me. Look at the other replies, it's not just me who knows this. Research it your damn self and see how prominent the topic is on social media. Don't be an ass on RUclips just bc you think your anonymous calling yourself bootychomper 🤡
My daughter eliminated all of her old social media accounts before she went job hunting and created new ones that were all shiny and clean. I think people are aware but most think it won’t affect them.
Oh no, people are told this from childhood. It's just that most are used to acting however the hell they want on social media and facing zero consequences from those actions that they think it's people just overreacting, or "old folks" who just don't understand. You want to say "no honey, we understand very well, but what you don't understand is that everything you do can reflect on your employer and you continously making certain kinds of comments or verbally attacking people who simply don't agree with you makes you look extremely rude, childish and like you make bad decisions and we pay attention when people tell us who they are". Too many have this idea that "I'm not really like that in real life so I'll be ok". Some also feel like it "doesn't count" because it's online and not in real life.
I was a “Junior Volunteer” in a hospital at age 14 and that’s when I learned that nurses can be some of the most mean-spirited, judgmental, gossipy, cranky people on earth. And also Absolute SAINTS at the same time!
@@harleyquinn5774imo (and some personal experience), the desire for control draws some to this field. Some people forget, every field is manned by all varieties of human beings so nursing will attract saints, sinners and everything in between.
I had a good experience (ultimately) with bullies… I’m a teacher and 3 parents decided they didn’t like my style (2 of them were definitely narcissists). They piled on criticising me for my teaching (they said I was yelling at students and belittling them 🙄 untrue) - I pushed back and said while I’m open to hear their concerns, i draw the line at getting criticised for simply doing my job. Well! They did not like that! They ganged up on me and put in a complaint to the education department. My principal and the department had my back and recognised that I was being bullied - one of them worked for a different branch of our state government and was reprimanded for bullying, while I was offered free counselling. So yeah - ya gotta stand up to bullies!
Yep! I was bullied during both of my labors and wish I'd been stronger back then. Lord help those nurses if I had a baby at my age now 😂 no holding back!
Getting mad at a mom for wanting a natural birth with no meds and being in pain is the biggest ick for me. Also I had a 17 labor and a 13 hour labor. Those are short duration compared to what most women go through. These woman are delirious, sleep deprived and hungry. Of course they are going to ask stupid questions. They barely know what’s going on.
Yeah, that hit personally for me. The idea of getting a needle in my spine terrifies me, so I declined epidural. I was induced and had a morphine shot at one point, so it wasn't a natural birth, but the nurses did seem surprised I didn't want epidural. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, but I definitely was in pain. I sure hope none of them were judging me for complaining about being in pain during labour!
"These woman are delirious, sleep deprived and hungry." As are the nurses. It's why more people in hospitals die of medical error rather than what got them into the hospital in the first place, yet the hospital (and law enforcement) industry barely change standards to minimize a tired brain. These nurses weren't "mad." they mildly got something off their chests.
@@markokoume9343 These nurses were being petty over natural, normal things. If they needed to get things off their chests they could go to the Hospital psychologist for a mental health wellness check. On the net to be an ass about patienst needs and not setting clear boundaries is not the place.
I don’t even understand why somebody giving birth unmedicated would be an ick like that’s not even your business why do you care how they give birth I could understand it if they repeatedly would not stop talking about how much pain they were in but kept denying medication that is annoying but if they just didn’t want it then that’s not a big deal
As someone who recently had to spend time in a hospital, at a vulnerable and painful time i knew 100 percent which nurses were annoyed by the slightest things such as me asking for help using the bathroom, and honestly it made the whole thing even more uncomfortable since I was scared to ask for anything so I would just put up with laying halfway down the sheets with my feet out and needing the bathroom badly 😢 honestly nothing more humiliating than feeling like a burden in hospital
Yo, same. I got hit by a car about three years ago; the injury was bad enough that I was completely bedridden. I couldn't get up to use the bathroom at all. Oddly enough, it wasn't a nurse who treated me poorly. It was a PCT (patient care tech). She was mad that she had to keep bringing me a pan with which to relieve myself. A nurse walked up behind her while she was reaming me for it and the nurse jumped to my rescue. I may or may not have smiled when I heard the nurse chew her out.
I'm sorry that happened to you. It sucks. I have lupus and I had a severe kidney infection that leaked ammonia into my bloodstream. When that happens, the person loses their grip on this plane of reality. I was thrown into a locked psych unit until my blood work told everyone I was sick. Really sick. They treated me awful. So, I totally understand the feeling of degradation. I just don't understand the world. I just don't.😢
My mom was a nurse for 17 yrs. She would tell me stories about the mean girls nurses who she worked with. It was really bad sometimes. They were younger and had higher authority than my mom. (She went to nursing school after she and my dad divorced and was 40 when she started working) She was one of the good ones. The hospital even made one of the newsletters about her. My mom had given a patient the shoes off of her feet and walked to her car, in the snow, with only her socks. She passed away in 2016 ♡
Exactly the kind of nurse my aunt is. She was recently sued by an angry mother she wouldn’t allow into her 16 year old patient’s room (at the patient’s request) and it makes me so upset. The good nurses are often punished while the bad ones are rewarded 😢
My mum was a nurse for 30 years, she would come home really sad some days cause some of the other nurses were just straight up MEAN. My mums only a little woman, she’s got such a kind heart and she loved her job, getting treated that way was misery. Thankfully she’d had some good job placements in hospitals were all the staff in the ward where really good friends and were nice but man, there are some awful fucking people who go into nursing that don’t deserve to be there and make the people who actually love what they do, miserable and depressed.
OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUL😢❤ She truly sounds like an absolute angel. Thank you for sharing that lil story. I love hearing of GOOD folks doin good things. 🙏🏼❤
I am so infuriated for the man fishing. Not only is he getting harassed, he gets called out for simply documenting the harassment. That is so messed up. And the fact that he has to deal with this in his own home and neighborhood is just sickening.
I wish I was his neighbor. I love fishing and would be right out there asking about his catch or fishing with him. He needs a sign. Yes Karen I do frigging live here
I agree I just thought I would mention that some people do fish in lakes that have NO FISHING marked on the lake. There are complications when people fish excessively in secluded bodies of water and alot of people do it to get past the fish limit and the game wardens.
Love how all these Karens that threaten cops and lawsuits clearly don't understand the law. He's allowed to film if he's out in public, and do you ask every white person you see just peacefully fishing where they live?
When I was in labor I had a nurse tell me I was faking pain because "it's not pain, it's just pressure". No b****, this was pain. Those a**holes tricked me into staying for a full checkup after they found out I was only dilated 1 cm (so I should have been allowed to leave because at that point, I was only there for the checkup & not in active labor at all really), then gave me an IV and pitocin, putting me in hard labor while I still wasn't dilating. My anesthesiologist got called in, gave me the epidural and went somewhere else because after about 5 hours, there was no more drip, I was back in pain and finally in very rough labor. They told me they couldn't give me any more in my epidural unless the anesthesiologist came back and wouldn't say when I could start actually giving birth so I just started pushing. Felt my child "drop" hard and told that b**** a** nurse the baby was coming out & it hurt like hell. That's when she gave me the "pressure, not pain honey" line. Finally convinced her to JUST F****** LOOK and that's when she said "omg it really is coming". I gave birth 3 minutes later, almost in the hallway between my room & the delivery room. My ex husband wouldn't let that nurse anywhere near me for the next 3 days.
As a nurse tech, yes we can be like “oh this is annoying…” but then you go and talk to the actual patients about misunderstandings/issues they might be having instead of just being in pure angst. Part of the job is understanding that a healthcare environment is stressful AF for everyone in the hospital, meaning that miscommunications occur OFTEN. You figure it out, make notes about how certain patients respond to things… its not rocket science
Yeah yeah, the amount os stories about nurses being cruel and rude to women in labor is over the roof. Dont come and tell this is just between them. They just hate women overall because they think they are the ultimate most amazing care givers in this world just because they are nurses. I will have 0 tolerance for this behaviour if I ever get into labor.
@marinacerrone74 I spent 3 weeks in hospital, as my appendix had become inflamed, and I needed to get my temperature back to normal. I had a very restful time there and was released. I had a visit to the surgeon, 2 weeks later, and arranged to have the appendix out the following Monday. I arrived on Monday morning and was given a bed with a beautiful scene, overlooking a lake and park. I told the nurse how delighted I was with that. She said "your name came on our list of those coming to the ward. You were so kind when you were here, so we gave you the best place". I was amazed but so good to hear that. It's shocking to see how some patients treat nurses as their slaves. I find that very upsetting. Nurses are on their feet for long periods, and should be treated with kindness and respect.
I have so much respect for nurses and nurse techs I had life threatening surgery and I know I was a royal pain in the tush a few times but at least they still rushed in like I was actually dying. My heart monitor leads kept coming unstuck and falling off when id go to the bathroom. All of a sudden you hear "code blue code blue" and of course my room number. 🤦♀️ it was so scary to them and me and it was because my body doesn't like their sticky tab things. And I have a very dark sense of humor I bet they all were happy when I went home lol. But I appreciate every damn one of them to this day ❤
During covid I got rushed into A&E due to a stroke. My speech was affected but my hearing and understanding wasn't. I was in a massive area with 4 other patients. And the 1 nurse spoke to be like I was brain damaged and then went back to nurses station where she proceeded to talk s**t about the 5 patients LOUDLY in an echoing space. Not that we were demanding but about our illnesses and how disgusting they were, and then howled with laughter. I was evil as the other 4 patients were elderly, scared and alone. Bet your ass I reported her to the constant in charge.
I hope you’re doing much better now. I had a TIA then a stroke 20 years ago when I was 26, and it was terrifying. I could hear and understand, but I wasn’t saying what I thought I was. My in-laws had given my husband and me a subscription to Reader’s Digest, and they had just published an article on stroke symptoms. So I knew what was happening, but my husband says I told him I was having a migraine and needed to go home to take a nap. He knew that I was showing stroke symptoms, so he rushed me to the nearest ER. I walked in and was ignored so my husband rushed me downtown. Everyone took us seriously and rushed me back to get worked up. Unfortunately I had a piece of metal that kept me from getting an MRI, and sometimes CTs don’t pick up TIAs or strokes for 12-24 hours. The hospital said I could be having atypical migraine that was causing paralysis and sent me home. My husband knew something was wrong so he called my primary care physician after hours. The nurse who answered had decided that I was a hypochondriac and had been mean to me before. I have endometriosis and had to have pregnancy tests done before getting my Depo Provera shot every three months. The nurse let my test sit out so it showed a false positive. So I had to go get blood work to see if I was pregnant and was freaking out because I also have heart issues that made pregnancy dangerous. The nurse decided that my doctor didn’t need to know about my possible TIA. My doctor could have ordered another CT that weekend and gotten me a consult with neurology by admitting me. When my primary care found out that her nurse hadn’t told her, she was furious and reported her to the state nursing board on top of firing her. She felt so bad because she would have taken the atypical migraine seriously because of my heart conditions and the birth control I was on. She did make sure that my neurology team take me seriously and made them keep looking for diagnoses after they wanted to blame diet pills. I was very careful about being compliant with my heart problems which caused tachycardia. I never tried any diet pills because I knew they’d make my heart beat erratically. The neurology team did a trans esophageal echocardiogram to look at the back of my heart and found the hole. The #1 reason for strokes in young women are diet pills, but there’s other reasons that need to be considered. If the hole in my heart hadn’t been patched, I could have kept having TIAs and strokes. I’m so thankful I had such good medical professionals around me including kick ass nurses. I wish I had written down their names so I could thank them later. I had a stroke two days after my TIA. My mom had just flown in to help me get to doctors offices for a work up to see what was wrong. My husband was working for a horrible boss who wouldn’t let him take the Monday after my TIA off to take me to my neurologist. The neurology office called me, but I was too out of it to talk to them. I had the stroke sometime that night or early in the morning. I didn’t feel like getting up when my husband got up super early to go pick my mom up, and I was unaware that I had a paralyzed arm and partially paralyzed leg when I was getting dressed. I’ll never forget the look on their faces when I walked in to the living room to meet them as I was struggling to get dressed because I couldn’t fasten my bra. I put my shirt on over it, and they said my face was drooping. My husband’s boss “laid him off” while I was in ICU. That was super shitty, but my husband’s client wanted to hire him which was difficult because of the non compete clause in my husband’s contract. The client was working on buying out contract, but the lay off nullified the contract. The client hired my husband the next day so I would have continuous health insurance coverage. Back then if you had gaps in coverage insurance companies could refuse to cover anything relating to a previous uncovered injury or illness. So everything worked out better. I healed quickly and recovered almost completely. I was diagnosed with a blood clot disorder and had a Patent Foramen Ovale hole in my heart that let a clot form then go to my brain. The hospital I was at had a cardiologist who had just gotten a patch FDA approved, so I was one of the first patients to get the patch done by catheterization instead of open heart surgery. They even let me watch the procedure, and I let all the medical students watch. The medical student assigned to me was amazing and explained everything and printed out pages from different medical textbooks and journals that explained everything. This was back when most of the medical literature was in books. She stood beside me and held my hand. I have an allergy to Valium so they didn’t want to sedate me plus I wanted to watch. So they just loaded me up with pain meds so I didn’t feel anything. The most important thing my neurology team told me for my recovery was to try drinking lots of coffee. There were a few studies showing that the chemicals in coffee helped the brain recover and form new neural pathways. The coffee could be decaf and mixed with different milks and sweeteners. So my husband would get me a Starbucks Venti decaf with extra espresso shots every morning. His sister took her vacation time to come up to help us as my mom flew home soon to look after her elderly dogs 🙄. SIL would also brew a pot of coffee for me. I was unable to walk around much because I was having a hard time keeping my blood from getting too thin. I was only allowed to walk to pee, go from my sofa to bed, and to appointments. I recovered very quickly, and my doctors were so impressed that they got my permission to write up my case as another patient helped b coffee in medical journals. So drink your coffee! I hope you’re doing really well. I’m so sorry you were treated so badly.
@@thesavvyblackbird I'm so glad you're feeling better and sorry you had such a bad time. I'm lucky I'm in uk so didn't have those problems. I can empathise I had 2 TIA's in 2 weeks when I was 20, allergic reaction to contraception pills. During lockdown I had a stroke, a TIA and a brain aneurysm. Fun times. The only time I actually saw a doctor was in A&E, then follow up phone calls. I have other medical issues so I just added my own exercises to help myself. Other than memory I'm doing ok, my speech gets impaired when stressed but I now carry a notepad & pen just incase.
Same or yeah. When I had my stroke and was in the emergency room my nurse and the doctor looked at me, and I was big, but not unhealthy.. and they came to me with 4 list that was things I had to stop eating, problem there was I didn’t eat non sorry for the bad English, not my first language
The last lady..."in Cemtral Park" was fired from her law firm because she broke the law by filing a false report. Her claim of being physically attacked.
With my first c section a nurse told another nurse in front of me that I was exaggerating, only because I said it was hard for me to walk and I was in pain. This was day one. Some people should not be in the medical field. It’s not only the skills but you need the compassion as well.
What!!! I have had 3 of them and they are all terrible pain. LOL at least by the 3rd one I figured out my daughter's day bed was the best thing ever. I could use the back to help pull myself up so you didn't have to use those stomach muscles.
After my first C-section I was able to get up and move around, walking distances (regularly down to the NICU), but I think it also had to do with the fact that I was able to rest when needed... Because after I had my second C-section, my little one was in the NICU again and the father had bailed on me months before, so it was all on me. I was exclusively breastfeeding so every 2 hours I had to travel from my room to the NICU, which wasn't very close. The sleep deprivation and pain was hitting me hard so even after 72 hours in the hospital I still was having someone transport me at times to the NICU. Yeah maybe I was a needy patient but it was literally out of necessity. I was in so much pain and I was delirious but was determined to continue taking care of my own baby in the NICU as much as possible. Trying to establish breastfeeding early on is important if it's something that you want to do and I was committed. A couple times this NICU nurse made snotty remarks about "by 24-hours post C-section I should certainly be able to walk on my own unassisted every time like every other patient." ... I just felt so belittled but I persevered and kept asking for help when I felt like I needed it... And the NICU nurses weren't even the ones transporting me so I don't know what she was even annoyed about. 🥴
That's unreal. C-section pain sucks so bad. I walked slooow and painful for at least a few days afterwards and getting in and out of bed was the worst! You don't even get real pain relievers, I was given the equivalent of like extra strength tylenol. Unreal that a nurse would try to make you feel bad for being in pain the day of a major surgery.
This is the only thing I can say about being a nurse and feeling the “icks” (and I am one and have felt this). If you start to feel the “icks” about what you’re doing then it’s time to find another specialty!! I began to feel this working in ICU and I knew I had to find something else because this is NOT why I got in this profession! I changed and I love everything about it again! My job, my patients, my co-workers, just all of it! If you’re a bitter nurse with the “icks” find a new specialty! The patients and yourself deserve better!
Healthcare professional here! What they did wasn’t a HIPAA violation. No patient identifiers we’re said. HOWEVER what they posted was a big big no-no. Of course, there’s a little gossip between nurses, just like coworkers at any other job. There will always be kinds of patients that suck to deal with. But posting about it on TikTok… they all need to be reminded that healthcare is a labor of empathy, patience and compassion
Insurance professional here, you’re correct. It’s only a HIPAA violation if they include patients’ names or other info that identifies patients. Disclosing PII (Personal Identifiable Information) or PHI (Personal Health Information) is a violation.
I agree however I wish more people acted like nurses and health care professionals and more importantly PSWS were treated like people and not robots. like this content is a nono, for good reason, but also you couldn't make a tiktok about how your treated at work without getting fired either. There isn't a balance so of course people are going to " step over the line" and "go too far" Like it's not enough to say" well if you don't like nursing then don't be a nurse " be cause must people who complain enjoy their job. But putting up with THAT is not apart of the job/ being a nurse. Its being a doormat easy to manipulate and use
Had my first baby at 22. Place to say it was a completely natural, no pain relief labour - I was expecting to be begging for an epidural I was quite surprised that I didn't have anything. Two days later I told one of the midwife's I was in agony "down there" and I thought I was on fire. She sent me home saying I was a "first time over reacting young mother that was making fuss about nothing" . A few hours later she sent me home. The following morning I collapsed and it turns out I had SEPSIS! I really don't know why these people go into jobs that are all about helping people when they are so rude and nasty
as an ex care worker for Austistic and severely Epileptic adults/Teenagers , I can firmly state , most people dont care , those they were suppose to care for were an inconvenience.
What the nurses said didn't break confidentiality, but so, so nasty. Can confirm there are things that patients and families do that is annoying, but it's our job and to have compassion ❤
I mean you can talk about patience and stuff like that but the thing is what you doing is you post it on social media and you never know who from the top is watching it cuz they actually hire people to do that it's not just for like hospitals it could be for executives you know for businesses and stuff like that and these people are stupid enough to post this s*** on there and that's what get them caught.
Yeah I don’t think people understand the concept of confidentiality. My therapist talks about his other patients all the time, like “I told another patient the same thing” or “I had another patient ask me that once”. They’re just not allowed to identify the patients or give away information that could identify them.
Of course they do annoying stuff, they’re stressed out and worried about their loved one! And that’s where the compassion you talk about comes in. Most healthcare workers understand that and are so cool about it and willing to help.
Yea I don't understand how people think they are breaking confidentiality. Can you identify the patient? No. Then it's not broken. And an ick isn't a once off instance. It means it's happened at least a few times. Plus some of them are valid icks.
I was induced all alone at night. My boyfriend went home to sleep and be with our dog and I was in the L and D ward alone with just the nurses. I didn't call them once or bother anyone, I just didn't want to, I was sad enough there and didn't want anyone to see that. There was a middle aged black lady who was more caring and comforting to me than anyone else had been up until that point, and it was the only thing that got me through being there. Some nurses just really do care.
My son had to go to the NICU and I didn't handle it well because I couldn't move yet. The NICU Dr and nurses brought me photo updates of him every 30 minutes until I could move. They were so sweet.
The story about the woman getting social media stalked by the company is why none of my social media has my real name attached to it. I do not owe a company 24/7 "professionalism." I'm a person. Not a machine.
As a jewish person I laughed SO hard at the poor dude who got fired bc he thought 'Sophie's Choice" was just a saying. The fact that he genuinely had no idea what it actually meant and had to find out this way is sending me 😂 Not the sandwich making decisions 😂😭
Same!!!!! I would have had laughing emojis all over his comment and then told him to go watch the movie because he obviously had no idea why he was using that saying. I found no malice in his comment, just obliviousness. 😂
I had no idea it meant that either until watching this lol. If I ever heard it, my first thought would be something positive like "these products are all the best- they're Sophie's Choice" as in whoever Sophie is, she's got good judgment and knows her stuff lol like Paula's Choice, the skincare line.
It’s a common turn of phrase in the uk and isn’t considered offensive, definitely not a sackable offence! I think it’s really unfair he lost his job for that. The uk is steeped in the history of the war and we are all well educated on all the goings on and the tragic fictional story of sophies choice (based on true events ect) , and to us the phrase is not offensive, if anything it continues the remembrance to the horrific history and past.
I've never seen the movie, but I knew what it meant. I don't think he deserved to be fired, but I understand the decision. He has a good ice breaker story for life now though!
I believe some of the women on here should watch Anna the Nurse, Mama dr. Jones, and Mama Nurse Tina (youtubers and awesome Nurses/ Doctors) Hopefully, their channels can show women that not all nurses are judging them (they have a good positive light around them).
My maternity war nurses are some of the most wonderful people I've had the pleasure to meet. Seeing thus is so disturbing. I can't imagine. Thank you for your service and for your kindness! We need people like you to keep the world running and to remind others what it means to care for others
Worked for the worst boss imaginable for 11 years. They fired me without reason and I found another much better job. Today I am making more than 3x what I made there and that business is closed. AND I AM HAPPY.
I worked in an operating room. They put all the nurses with horrible bedside manner to work there because the patients are knocked out. We STILL had one nurse get into trouble because she was making rude comments about a patient's anatomy. Even though the patient was under anesthesia, she was able to recite every word.
Good for that patient. Bet that nurse was crying like a lil b*tch when the patient was able to recite every word. The bullies in nursing need to be rooted out, full stop.
It makes me wonder... why would they even want to be nurses if they have zero empathy? Isn't their job to care for the patient? Or did they go into that career because of the pay or were somehow convinced the pay was good? Or was it someone who just wanted to have control over unwell people, like some weird, sick and manipulative person who is mean to others and thinks their actions won't have consequences, because the patient is too ill to argue or fight back? Though, about the money thing, from my understanding, healthcare workers aren't being payed nearly enough and deserve better pay... Not the mean nurses though. The mean nurses should all be fired and only the kind and hardworking ones should stay and get payed more. But we live in a rubbish world that rewards terrible people and punishes the people who do good things.
I used to work in a hospital in the HR department. I used to have so much respect for nurses before that job. NOT ALL, but A LOT are extremely entitled, annoyed with their patients, do not give them grace. Not to mention the having sex in closets with other nurses… which I also felt was disrespectful to everyone there. I asked myself the same question, why take the job if you’re not an empathetic person. One is being in control of others and two, our hospital had bonuses for nurses all the damn time…they were making bank.
I’m not certified yet but in cna school, but I’m extremely awkward and have social anxiety so I don’t have the best bedside manners. I just really enjoy learning about the human body and helping people is very nice but the only problem is myself. I think post-op/ op cna would be good for me judging by this comment
Birth of a child is the biggest day in the life of the mother. If you cannot empathize with this as a LD nurse and can’t respect that, you’re not in the right field
YES! The nurse who did my labor and delivery was AWFUL. Basically accused me of wanting drugs when I said my contractions were getting worse and the meds weren’t working (because they weren’t working) she basically told me to deal with it and that she’s has kids and it’s not that bad. I told her that if she wanted hair on her head she better get out of my face and get the doctor. I didn’t see her again for the rest of my labor 😂
@@saltydog7038Yeah see, that was my thing. Like a couple of those are valid things to get super annoyed about. The call light being ignored and nurses being bothered by a bunch of people while they have dozens of other patients to handle, that’s valid. The paternity test thing… understandable on the father’s part, especially if there’s a suspicion of cheating, but I can get a nurse being annoyed when they’re trying to take care of the mother and they’re being asked this when I don’t believe they’re the ones to oversee that kind of procedure. The guy with multiple baby mamas, now that one is extremely valid cause I mean I can only imagine watching tons of women deal with things like stillbirths and breech deliveries and eclampsia, only to see the utter entitlement of a man who couldn’t keep it wrapped up and who has now probably needlessly complicated 2 kids’ lives.
patient confidentiality is about personal information. Technically none of these nurses broke any of the HIPPA rules. But they did break a lot of social media rules(jobs have those now) and just general vibe check rules. People at jobs need to vent frustrations. They should not be venting them on social media and mocking patients.
I was going to point out the same thing. People don't often understand that there is no reason you can't talk about your patients in generalities. It only becomes a problem if you supply information that could identify the patient. That doesn't make their comments any better. They still majorly crossed a line and made it hard for patients to feel comfortable in their care because of what they said. This was a PR nightmare for that hospital and so embarrassing for the profession. Crazy that so many women were involved in this and let it get all the way to being published on tiktok. It's just so obviously a bad idea.
💔My father was killed by a medical professional who had NO EMPATHY for him, or my mother who was by his side, fighting for his life for the 9 hours of absolute agony he endured as the doctor refused to treat him after realizing he had given him the wrong medication. I know that this is not meant to be a serious channel…but I really felt compelled to stress the absolute DANGER a lack of empathy poses in ALL medical settings at EVERY LEVEL of staff and administration. That one day changed all of our lives. All those people had to do was care. A pregnant woman recently lost her child in an ER as they ate their lunch. Every time she asked them for help, they scolded her like a school child. This is a serious problem that has touched my life more than once, and can cost people their lives.
This makes me feel more insecure about myself. The fact that nurses and obs can see me in my most vulnerable state, seeing my private parts that I’m very insecure about and now knowing that they will be laughing and making fun of me behind my back.
I’m a nurse and I promise you most nurses are NOT like this. There are bad apples but please don’t be worried about this. They are a serious minority x
Same. When I had my son I had seen a video similar and I was to afraid to even ask for water. I didn't want to be a bother, so I just shut my mouth and let them run the show because I wanted everything to go well with my son.
That hurts my heart. You're right! I've had one baby and it is a vulnerable state. It is definitely traumatic. Whether by natural birth or c-section it is difficult. Much love to you.
As a nurse, that gives me secondhand embarrassment. These nurses are the reminder that anyone can be a nurse but, doesn’t mean you should. If they don’t see that they suck by doing this tacky TikTok then, there’s no hope for them. Zero compassion, zero class and less than zero common sense. I’m sure their parents are proud.
Years back when I was taking classes for Nursing Unit CoOrdinator, they specifically addressed HIPPA and uploading anything work related on social media. I think we went over every instance of nurses uploading stuff like this or patient identifiers as of examples of what not to do.
I worked reception in a doctor's office, and I totally understand a nurse venting, they did that to me all the time, but it's completely different to publicly complain about it. Especially sad that some of their icks were just patients asking questions.
@@MSinistrari, HIPAA What they did was unprofessional in their scrubs with name badges on at their nurse's station, but they didn't give out specific patient's information. However who wants a nurse that shows such a lack of compassion? I mean if I'm a patient and I'm cold and want a blanket I don't expect the nurse to go back to the desk and mock me for that.🤷♀️
@@KayleeFarnes , I wouldn't want them anywhere near me or my newborn. It shows a total lack of compassion, complaining because someone asks for a blanket.
As a nurse, please do not be afraid to seek help because of these horrible people. I love my patients so much and it’s ok to be going through a hard time a good nurse supports those going through it. A good nurse doesn’t judge their patients. Everyone has something going on. Im glad those nurses were fired!
It's not just them tho. The amount of nurses I've seen online on all different platforms just being hateful toward every type of patient just has me being wary of nurses
@@marykatecraig4283there was a story a few years ago about a paient who was having surgery, and somehow his phone was nearby and eas recording; one of the doctors was talking 💩 on him, saying how fat he was and laughing about it! When he found it he turned her in, and her business closed (I think it was dental surgery? I forget) She ended up moving to another state to try to start over, not sure how that is going for her
Fortunately the number of good nurses far exceeds the number of nurses like those depicted. Unfortunately they don’t get the exposure that these yahoos do so it seems like there are more of them than the good nurses. It’s a shame really because good nurses abound and are such a blessing to their patients and family members of the patients.
Thank you for what you do. As someone with a critical progressive and degenerative disease, I have had hundreds of nurses in my lifetime. I can only count on less than one hand the truly awful nurses I’ve had. Most definitely less than 1%. 99%+ have been wonderful. I am even alive today because tow nurses risked their jobs and went against doctors orders to save my life. I’d be dead if it wasn’t for them risking their own livelihood to save me. Nurses are incredible, and do not get the appreciation they deserve. It is a thankless job, and as a patient I try to thank nurses every chance I get because I know they don’t hear it enough. I only wish my experience with doctors was the same. Unlike nursing, it’s the reverse where 99% have been bad, and 1% are exceptionally good doctors who genuinely care. My disease is rare, very complex, and not well understood by most doctors. It’s been a lifelong nightmare to try and find doctors who don’t have an ego complex and are comfortable with not always knowing the answer, but doing their best to help anyway, rather than the 99% who try to flip it back onto the patient and play the blame game so they don’t have to face or admit the fact that they don’t know the answer. I know my disease is difficult, and I am completely fine with doctors not always knowing what to do. The good ones can admit that with ease, and I am grateful for it. After a lifetime of searching, I have a handful of exceptional doctors who I can fully trust with my life and I thank unceasingly, but it definitely hasn’t been an easy road getting there. Fortunately nurses have always been the ones to pick up the slack and advocate for me no matter what, more than anyone else. If only more doctors valued what they had to say and actually listened to them. Unlike doctors, nurses spend time intimately with their patients for hours. They see with their own eyes what is going on and what issues need to be addressed, and often know best what the patient needs. If nurses had been the ones in charge of making many of my medical decisions, I likely would have had a better quality of life. So thank you, on behalf of all of your patients, for being an exceptional nurse who genuinely cares about your patients. And if your patients may not always say thank you, just know that they ARE thankful for the kindness and advocacy you have shown them in their time of need, and they will always remember it. I certainly do.
Every time I have a bad time with a nurse/doctor, I tell my dentist about it because the ladies there always confirm I was intact being abused, gaslit, and in fact, was worse than I realized, AND the medical facts about what I was experiencing. Like when a flebotomist relentlessly bullied me for claiming I could feel the blood being pulled out (the hospital didn't give me water for 24 hours), was actually me feeling my veins collapsing a bit (like when you make a vacuum with a straw and your finger).
My aunt had a 28lbs sarcoma removed, and two ribs. She was in a medically induced coma for 3 days to deal with pain. On day 2 after waking up the nurse started withholding pain medication because she said if she can sleep through the pain then she doesn't need the meds. She was passing out from the pain.
Following one of my Hospital stays....when the Doctor admitted me, he called in every nurse that would attend me and said.....'If she requests pain meds, give them immediately. She has a high pain tolerance and is stubborn (he laughed and so did I), when she finally asks for a painkiller, she needed it an hour ago. She hates Hospitals and we only see her in the practice if she is actually sick or hurting. Listen to her. She will follow your directions as she knows it will allow her to get out sooner." Has another stay at a different hospital. I was there 2 weeks. Nurses were mainly horrific. One good night nurse and 1 good day nurse. Almost died due to them ignoring call buttons. Imagine, being on you back, middle having been split open (and still open with just tressels holding the sides of the gap) so no muscles for lifting your upper body. Suddenly knowing you were going to vomit and unable to sit up and turning on your side will take forever....that becomes a full on panic attack, so add the mental feeling you are about to die. Hitting that button and no response. I barely was able to turn enough and took another almost hour to forcefully pull my body into a sitting position on the edge of the bed. Now exhausted, cold, covering in vomit and no one came for hours....and it was not even a nurse, but an aide. Aide was sweet and horrified. She helped my get clean and recovered in a new gown. At one point, my 3 Sisters and Mom were about to load me in a wheelchair and remove me for my safety.
It’s insane to me that the lady that was passed over because of her social media they said it’s was because of her lack of professionalism yet when she was interviewing, the boss lady was very late to interview her and that boss lady also said she would call a specific day and then didn’t; the company itself needs to work on their professionalism before they start judging their interviewees
Social media should be SOCIAL. That's for your friends and family not your place of employment. No one talks the same to their boss as they do with their friends. I know multiple people who don't use their real last name on social media because they don't want it seen in a background check, and they're not saying or doing anything wrong, but there's work, and there's not work. You can't control how someone talks, dresses, or behaves when they aren't on the clock, and they have a right to have personal time and personal thoughts away from working for that company. Work to live, not live to work.
I remember the first time I heard it was from FRIENDS. Rachel was trying to pick which sweater she should wear and compared it to Sophie's Choice lol. From that context, I thought the same thing as the guy in the tiktok, haha.
The thing is, that movie is from the early 80’s and it’s not a Blockbuster like Star Wars, ET or Indiana Jones, among other things. So, unless you grew up in this era or close, it’s very likely that many younger generations don’t know about it.
It's become such a common phrase though, like, completely divorced from the seriousness of the original source. Getting fired over that is completely ridiculous.
I work in health care and yes my patients sometimes get on my nerves but I would NEVER POST ABOUT IT WHILE AT WORK!!! I grit my teeth and smile through it
Going to be honest with you and I may get a lot of hate for this. A lot of nurses, wonderful people. Backbone of healthcare. But a lot of them are mean girls. And judgy Christians. I work in health care. I'm a mental health professional and I've never seen such a toxic group of people in my life. It's like they stopped maturing at high school. I've worked at like seven hospitals and three different countries. If there's nurses there's toxicity. So that labor and delivery video does not surprise me at all. Now just for clarification, I'm not saying all. Because don't make general statements like that. I'm just saying nursing seems to attract a certain type of person. Not all but a lot of them. I won't even say it was the majority of them. But labor and deliveries are the worst. All I'm going to say. Find a lot of nursing students in the labor and delivery cuz they think it's going to be playing with babies all day but that's not the reality.
@sdrisd I remember reading about how a high school bully may end up going into things like nursing because it puts them in charge of vulnerable people. It's scary to think about whether it's true or not.
I was having back labor with my first son AND I was induced with Pitocin. I started to tear up and told my fiancé that it just “hurt so bad” and I’m trying. And as he was trying to calm me down , the nurse that was in the room told me to calm down and stop being dramatic -_- So yeah. Some people shouldn’t be in healthcare
when we did a tour of the hospital before our first child was born (it was a group tour), the volunteer who did the tour was telling horror stories about what she saw/heard during labors. And she made a comment that most of the women were overdramatic and she wanted to punch them. This wasn't a teen, this was a middle aged woman. Someone complained because we'd heard when we went into labor, that she was no longer volunteering at the hospital.
Oof Heaven help a nurse that talks to me like that while I’m in pain if my husband is around.. But even Heaven won’t be able to help if my father is around 💀
When I had jaw surgery about 10 years ago, I was usually really active, running everyday. So when I was there overnight, I would walk laps around the unit and the one nurse at the desk realized I wasn't doing anything bad. So she'd say hi to me, and "time" my laps around the unit, hold out a cup of water like I was running a marathon. I don't remember her name but she was so nice to me.
The hospital one is just more proof of how many school yard bullies ended up in the medical field. They often do it for the same reason so many school yard bullies also become cops. That sense of power and ability to abuse just draws them in like moths to a flame.
My middle school bully was my nurse right after I had emergency surgery for ruptured ectopic pregnancy she was so mean I just lost my baby at the time and I almost died from it too ripped my stitches right after I got out of surgery from her too
@jasminebanks7462 was scared to to be completely honest plus not many options I'm not from a city from country and there's only a couple per shift they had put me in the children's part too
My uncle was denied by a work space because his Instagram was full of photos of him fishing....he wanted to work at the aquarium. Still he took it like a champ and finished up this story with a "I guess I liked fish a bit differently than they do."
I can guarantee people going to the nurses station instead of using the call button is because no one was answering the call button, especially after hearing the way those nurses talk about patients.
My nurse when I gave birth, I was in labor a week and almost went back daily because of the pain I was in. I also had gestational diabetes, hypertension and preeclampsia. one of the nurses when they finally decided to brake my water and I was being rolled into a wheel chair in pain to my labor room the nurse from a few days before says “awesome, now we won’t have to see you in here ever again” lol I banned her from my room and the other nurses that came in to help me were amazing but she sucked and had a terrible attitude. Wanted her no where near my baby and I.
Bad Nurse Experience: The nurses were whispering while I was in labor, ready to push , wanting my OB there. I heard them say "I don't know why OB's get all the credit, we do all the work". That annoyed me, but I didn't say anything. They knew I was delivering my deceased baby. I have a closer relationship with my OB, than them. I do appreciate nurses, but them making comments like that while I'm in the room, during the worst time of life, was uncalled for. Sorry for my rant lol.
Here's an idea: If you don't want video of you harassing people to get on the Internet, stop harassing people. Also, I've seen Christian's show and he's fantastic!
I'm def going to have to check it out. Going to have to replay the video to get the name. Might be something I can have on in the background while cross stitching.
I have to watch his show! I love birds, and learning from knowledgeable people. Central Park Karen also had that poor dog taken away from her because she's clearly abusing it by choking the dog.
Christian actually threatened to take her dog too but he didn't put that in the video this is so old I wish people would fact check it was written on his original post to that he carried dog treats just for this occasion to get dogs not on a leash
I’m glad these nurses got let go. My wife is an L&D Nurse for 24 years and I have never heard her complain about such silly things. She loves her job, the patients and especially witnessing the births and the joy it brings those family’s. The only thing she complains about is the long hours and how it can be taxing on her body especially when it’s a busy night. I don’t think these nurses represent most L&D nurses… thankfully.
I’m a nurse and don’t understand why they would complain about family asking for blankets and asking simply about whether they’re allowed to eat/shower. Easiest part of nursing. Sure, annoying if they’re asking in the middle of an emergency. And they’re going through labor but want to do it naturally. It doesn’t negate the pain of labor. I don’t get their complaints.
@@BabyKangaroo279I was gonna say, those seem pretty tame to me… an “ick” would be like placenta goo ending up on faces or maybe the dad telling the Dr how to do their job while this kid is halfway out. Not asking for a blankie lol
When I had my baby, I had a great experience, but an emergency right after and had the room just flooded with nurses. After everything was taken care of, I was literally the patient that was bare minimum care to the point they kept coming in to see if everything was okay, because they hadn't had a call light in a while. Lol..Shout out to all L&D staff to taking excellent care of families!!
I had to go to the ER while I was dealing with some kidney issues. I was made fun of by the nurses by being sick and did it front on my room for and loud enough for me to hear. I was close to being on dialysis a couple of weeks prior and now dealing with this. Luckily, the charge nurse overheard, and I could hear her yelling at those involved
I had a doctor and 2 nurses loudly talking about me in front of a bunch of other healthcare people, patients and family members saying I was attention and med seeking. I was admitted dozens of times over 9 months with several symptoms and I almost died. It turns out I had serotonin syndrome (serotonin toxicity) from being on a couple prescribed meds over the years. It’s rare but can happen and if it wasn’t for my primary care doc I wouldn’t be here right now. The hospital doc and nurses were "talked to" but never reprimanded for anything. I was just glad I didn’t have to go back there.
Had to look that one up. I'm glad you able to finally find out the problem. You always have to be your own advocate. because you know when something is not right. Continue to push until you get someone that acutally listens to what you are saying. Doctors don't know everything.
@katrinarepine3879 My sister had a similar experience 15+ years ago that I happened to witness. She had an undiagnosed autoimmune disease that was causing her extreme pain and intestinal distress. She called me to meet her at the ER because she was freaking out (vomiting and shitting herself) while driving herself to the ER. I was an hour away and I arrived at the ER about 20 minutes after they got her checked in and was able to be with her when the ER doctor came in for the first time. At this point they've given her an IV and some anti-nausea meds so at least she isn't vomiting everywhere. The ER dr comes in asks a few questions about her symptoms then flat out tells her that he thinks she's a drug addict looking for a fix because she had been to the ER with similar symptoms several times over the previous few months. Turns out that her immune system was destroying her intestines. It's extremely painful. Every time I think back to that ER doctor I get irrationally angry about it all over again.
@@poultryinmotion5721 I’m sorry your sister had to go through that and glad she had you there with her. With the increasing numbers of med seeking I can slightly understand why they have to be cautious. I just think some of them are a bit lazy and rude. They ran every test they could numerous times but failed to ask me about any of the meds I was currently on and it would’ve only taken a few minutes of listening with another few minutes of thinking and maybe an internet search, especially since the doc at the hospital claimed to be the best doctor ever and "oh so smart." I now need extensive dental work done to fix the damage done to my teeth from the constant vomiting while I was sick. I brushed my teeth several times a day when I had the energy to stand but stomach acid can be brutal. I also suffered bad damage to my esophagus and stomach mostly, but had some minor issues with my liver and heart that are now better. My whole time I was sick was from October 2020 to July/August 2021.
I had a baby recently. If I found out that my severely traumatic experience in the hospital was gossiped about on tiktok, I would lose my head. That hospital wouldn't live it down. I live in a very affluent area, so I wouldn't be the only one who would make a public spectacle. I appreciated my nurses for how wonderful they were. I would not appreciate being made fun of on the internet.
Seriously!! How messed up, right?! I'm about to have a baby, and I had a rough experience with my 2.5 year old.. if I heard my nurses gossiping about ANYONE in their care I would be mortified.
One of the saddest things i hear as a nurse is when coworker's talk crap on something going on with a patient, usually pain. Even if its a patient that isnt constantly asking for pain meds, it still just bothers them so much. I think a lot of people forget theres a reason these people are in the hospital.
As someone who went to the hospital on Easter Sunday years ago for a kidney stone, only to later that night find out I had an 11cm cyst on my ovary (had to have my whole ovary removed), and overheard my doctor talking to the nurses, right outside my door, about how he'd rather be golfing than dealing with "unimportant things like people with kidney stones," I really felt the ick with the first video. It made me so self-conscious about going to the hospital.
Doctors and Nurses are taught to "Turn Off their emotions" so they don't get emotionally attached to a patient. Unfortunately, I think it literally just made them apathetic towards everyone who comes into the hospital and just treats the patients like an everyday customer at the grocery store.
@@LilDevyl17I worked in the medical field. As a nurse, I was never told to not be empathetic to someone. You treat them with respect and kindness and how you would want someone to treat your own parents or family members.
I feel for you. I have seen some very distasteful things working in the field, but nothing compares to the things I went through while being a patient and having lost a family member to nurses ignoring them. Don’t even get me started on nursing facilities for rehabilitation.
I had a surgery last year and for some reason the anesthesia made me extremely loopy. My brain was working at the right speed, but I could not get the words out of my mouth. I ended up hearing the nurses talking about me rather loudly and then lying about me on the phone with the doctor and with my husband. It immediately made me feel unsafe and trapped because I was unable to move or verbalize what I needed. I was trying to text my husband to hurry and come get me, but I couldn't even type it out right. I am now worried about ever going into surgery again because I have lost trust in nurses and what they say behind your back.
My ex once lost a job because he didnt want to meet for a follow up interview at the persons house. The person he was supposed to meet for the interview,a school music teacher, wanted him to come to her house and then asked if he could bring some eggs because she was baking cookies and ran out. This was all happening over text and turning her down was probably the only smart thing he ever did.
As a Healthcare worker I'm glad those girls in the first clip were fired. I wonder how would they feel if a bunch of hospital staff that should be providing care to them or a love one decides to get on the internet and start mocking them. At the end of the day, that's a job, and they had no right making a Tik-Tok about it.
Given how disturbingly common the mean girl to nurse pipeline is, I wouldn't be surprised if those nurses had never thought that until someone posed that question to them. 🙄
I was treated like trash in ICU! I had ARDS (basically my lungs failed) and I had CHF (heart failure). I was intubated for 10 days. The first set of nurses was amazing. So sweet and comforting. The second set were horrific. Several times I'd be laying there with my sedation worn off crying, in pain, scared af, and I'd push that call button over and over and they just turned it off and ignored me. Then after the tube was taken out they acted like the smallest things i needed help with were just the biggest pain in the ass. I was so weak I couldn't even hold up a small paper cup. Thank God the nice ones finally came back . I cried when they finally came in and were actually helping me and taking care of me
Omg my mom almost died bc of the same thing! She has paranoid schizophrenia so it was really hard to get her to go to the doc, especially a hospital. One day her lips were blue, I finally got her to the hospital, she only had 40% oxygen n they said she'd have most likely passed if I let her just stay home bc her fears. Found out she had ARDS, COPD, CHF, the works...even turned septic. They had to stop giving her the psych meds when they intubated her, and she ended up in a medically induced coma for about 3months..followed by rehab/nursing home for 4months. I stayed at her side every minute of every day...except for when my dad came after work, I'd go home and shower. I was so afraid of her coming out of the coma and realizing everything and being frightened of the nurses and docs..thankfully everyone was nice to her for the most part..I'm sure me being there to advocate on her behalf sure helped that tho. I'm so so sorry you had to endure that scary of a situation as well as trashy nurses & docs on top of that. I hope you're well these days, I'd never heard of anyone else having ARDS. Prayers!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
@JoeMama-eg4zv I am so glad your mother is better and had you by her side. None of my family were allowed in because of covid protocols. I didn't have it but they were afraid they might. I obviously couldn't talk on the phone being intubated lol. But because those certain nurses weren't paying attention and doing their jobs I got ICU psychosis which lucky me in a small percentage of people can last year's or longer. But I'm very glad your mom is ok. It's definitely an ordeal you'll never forget
I'm not surprised at the nursing thing, both my parents are nurses and while they did a good job, their experience getting bullied out of their job is further proof that it's pipeline from high school bully to nurse.
Girl at high school almost fainted when we did a dissection on an anaesthetized critter and left the room white faced. She was a bully. She ended up being a nurse. Bizarre world.
@@katrinathenarrator3726 It's called "having power over another". What better profession, than doctor, could you have? Particularly midwifery, where women are extremely vulnerable. There honestly should be much better "profiling" of applicants to those professions. Even a whiff of desire to dominate, extreme pettiness, vindictiveness...and struck from any hope of ever getting that kind of position. Or more people are like that now? I hope not.
I absolutely LOVE Nat Geo because they have a habit of noticing things like this - genuine people with real passion and talent and just plucking them out of the ether.
I quit Facebook a couple of years ago because I got sick of being bullied. If a potential employer was to look at my Facebook history I'm sure they would see me as a weird person even though the stuff I used to post was pretty wholesome! The Lazy I Ranch is what I call my little 20 acre, off-grid, goat ranch. My goats, chickens, cats, dog, and parrot are my entire heart, so I post baby goat videos and other cute animals. I rescued a baby raven about 8 years ago, took care of him until he could fly then let him go. I guess he imprinted on me and he chose to stick around for the food I put out for him. He disappeared for a few days but came back with his new mate! They've had new families every Summer, and their offspring also hang around for the raven buffet I put out daily for them. About 5 years ago I started finding strange objects on my porch steps; a Casio digital watch from the 90s, lots of metal washers and machine parts along with small tools. They watch me repairing chicken coop and goat pens, so they've seen how I use washers and screws to secure the hardware cloth to the chicken coop. I actually use those parts they bring me! My mailbox is 3 miles from my house, so I drive to get my mail. Sometimes the whole raven "posse" comes with me, flying tight circles over my car as I drive slowly up the rough dirt road. That must look funny to any neighbor who notices them. I love these birds, and I used to post pics of them and show what interesting things they brought me. I stopped posting anything after 2 people on my "friends" list made fun of my "raven fantasy" and one said she had fed birds all her life but they don't bring her presents, because birds are dumb and would never do that. I told her to google "ravens gift-giving" and she would find countless stories of others who have been lucky enough to experience this. She didn't, and continued to call me a liar. Her name, for real, is "Karyn" and she lives up to it! Anyway, I figure a potential employer would see me as the crazy goat/cat/raven lady and cross me off their list!
Do they think they can get away with it or are they just clearly not thinking? Especially if you post your face complaining about your work, how do they think no one will see it.
They did several things but the major one was filming in a no-filming area. I work for a company that has a legal team who scours social media for this kind of stuff. It's pretty brazen when people try and get away with it.
As a person in my mid 20s, I guess I'm too young to know what sophies choice was without doing my own research which I had not. I was genuinely surprised and glad he enlightened us.
Same. I’ve heard it referenced, but I thought it was about a girl in a love triangle lol. Still a hard decision, but not nearly as hard as choosing which child to save😢
Just two days before I gave birth to my son that video came out, I was so worried during my birth that I was being a burden. I was very lucky that my nurses were very nice and wanted to be attentive and genuinely wanted me to be comfortable and made everything so nice when meeting my son, showing my husband how to dress him and raving about how cute he is, helping me feed him. They were lovely 🥰
My college boyfriend was in a pretty serious accident and wound up being in ICU and then bed bound for a month in hospital. It coincided with Spring Break, so that where I was. The head floor nurse showed me where to get him snacks and ice and how to pop out the little bed. It was a trauma floor and lots of yelling. First night, he was out of ICU after surgery, he woke up screaming, “Help me!” He had spiked a fever of around 104 and was hallucinating. They got him fixed up and were supposed to check his temperature hourly as a result. Me being traumatized and a bit anxious,lest it happens again, asked the nurse if she had taken his temperature yet, once. She said no but she would. She hadn’t even checked his file. She was getting ready to leave and I again asked and she got snotty with me. Then she pulled me outside and proceeded to berate me for questioning her. I did the only thing I could do in that situation. I got petty and spoke to the head floor nurse and made a formal complaint. I didn’t have to see her for the rest of the week.
Speaking as someone who just had a baby a couple months ago, dilation has NOTHING to do with pain level or progress of labor. My water broke and my contractions got really really bad and after 16 hours I still wasn’t even dilated a centimeter. The doctors were blown away because they expected me to be at least at an 8 or 9 by the way my contractions were showing up on the chart. They ended up having to give me medication to force my body to dilate and talked me into an epidural after another 6 hours of very slow dilating. They said they were worried I’d lose consciousness during the active labor because of how long I’d been having bad contractions. Being dilated has absolutely nothing to do with how bad the contractions are or the pain level someone is at. Either she’s had very easy births or she’s never had a baby 🥴
I was three weeks late so I was induced. I had failure to progress. My labor was 98 hours and I never dilated past three centimeters. It was pure heck too.
@@katehakanson310unfortunately I don't think that would fix it. So many moms are judgemental of people who make different choices than they do. Many men and women who haven't given birth are more understanding because they know that they don't understand, whereas a lot of moms assume that everyone should have the same experience as they did
Not every delivery is the same. For my one and only child, I was in labor 12 1/2 hours. I did get an epidural and I was induced. By the time I gave birth I was 9 3/4 dilated. Never made it to magic 10. My mom had 4 kids and was in labor for my oldest sister 48 hours and it was a dry birth. For my brother, who's the youngest, he started crowning before she got in the delivery room. My oldest sister had a c-section for her son and it was to the point where the doctors asked my mother which to save, my sister or the baby. Fortunately both survived. But my point is that 3 women all from the same family with very different situations.
I’ve had a lot of surgeries in my life and I can say nurses are either the best people in the world or they’re someone who can cause you to have a panic attack bc they’re bullies.
Sometimes nurses talk like that *to your face*. They did to me when I had burst abscesses in my abdomen, a fresh stoma, and weighed next to nothing, and I asked for pain killers half hour before shift change. They literally told me to shut up and made me wait through the entire next 12 hour shift. Because I was crying. Nurses are usually great. But get the wrong team, and you're fucked.
That's awful! If that occasion ever arises again ask to speak to the DON(director of nursing) even if you have to call on the bedside phone. That is deplorable!
I was a nurse for almost 25 years and this embarrasses me for our profession. The things they were talking about in their videos were normal for patients to ask. Most new moms are scared shitless to begin with and seeing those TikTok’s are terrible!!!
Exactly thank you! It is a very scary/unknown yet exciting and beautiful experience and the videos were just so sad. I’m so glad I did not see this video before I had my kids! 🙈
I remember when I had my daughter... I was told to use the call button, but I was also one who didn't want to cause problems for the nurses, EVEN though I knew it was their job. I'm just like that as a person. I did push it once and that's when I made a mess because I dropped down towels to take a shower after labor... I did try to clean it myself before hand but the nurse came in and saw me bent over and she about flipped a LID! "Honey! What are you doing! Don't bend over! Are you okay?!" Meanwhile, I'm pale and tired... and I just smile, "Y-yeah... I was trying to take a shower on my own... the towel dropped and I went to pick it up and Woosh! I'm so sorry!" "HONEY! Omg... Please sit down! This is our job to help you, PLEASE sit down!" I started to cry because I made a mess and she hugged me and told me it was alright. I loved that nurse so much.
Mine found me on the floor and had two other nurses come in to scold me about using the call button. When i told them i had pressed it twice in an hour and couldnt hold it any longer they told me they had other patients and couldn't wait on me hand and foot. So do i use the button or not?
@@dorisaerwin I think it all depends, really. I live in a small town (1500 people) so the hospital is usually quiet. At that time (2011) there was only one other woman who had given birth. She was a c-section. However, I don't think they should have scolded you and then come around saying they had other patients to tend to other than you? Condescending there. I'm sorry that happened to you!
@rallerazek5509 I appreciate it. I think it was just a poorly staffed hospital when it came to nurses. I've heard similar stories from that hospital after. Unfortunately it's the only hospital for 2 hours as well 😅
I just had a c-section yesterday and when taking me into the bathroom to change my pad I started cleaning blood off the floor ao the nurse wouldn't have to. She was like that's my job and I told her it's the least I could do.
I personally became a nurse to help people, because I love taking care of people. I would never judge one of my patients judging them is not my job or anyone's. Taking care of them is my job. I'm glad those nurses were fired!
When I had my son in June, 1992, the nurses who took care of us were so wonderful! My son was born healthy, but he contracted Group B strep infection after he was born and became very sick, very fast. I didn't get to hold him long before he turned a dark, dusky purple and the nurses rushed him to NICU where he spent over a week with tubes running out of him. I had already bought a breast pump, so I expressed my milk and bringing it to the hospital. I insisted they feed him breast milk only, no formula. My doctor said it would make no difference, and I noticed the nurse in the room looked at him incredulously. After the doctor left the room, she told me to keep bringing my milk, as the antibodies in the colostrum could make all the difference! She assured me that no one would give him formula as long as he had my breast milk, with my antibodies. I found out later that my baby had been given only a 25% chance of surviving his first night. Those NICU nurses took excellent care of my baby and he made a full recovery. They also took good care of me, and were always encouraging. They treated me like a mom who loved her baby and would do anything to help him thrive.
My husband was hospitalized for 3 weeks after a major car accident. Sometimes he legitimately needed help immediately and his nurse was busy, but there were other nurses at the desk. You bet I would go up to them. Obviously this should only be for something that can’t wait, but hospitals are so understaffed that sometimes this is necessary.
When I was 16 and having my baby, the nurses were gossiping about me. Not just in the maternity ward, in the surrounding wards too. I know because I have multiple relatives that work there and came into my hospital room to tell me people are gossiping about “the16 year old in labor right now”. So lame
Me too. Nurse treated me like crap and the put my epidural in unevenly. When I told them one side of my body was in extreme pain, she ignored me. Then I had another nurse tell me to wait for Dr to push but dr walked in and said “you’re still pregnant?”. I was so mad
jealous that you're a young mom w all the energy to play all the best games and make-believe w your kid. I'm sure all those awful nurses and staff are horrible, boring, lazy parents.
As an L&D RN since 1998 these “nurses” are an embarrassment to our profession!!! And while I’m sure there were times I got frustrated and needed to vent, those times were few and far between because I cared about my Pt’s as if they were my own family member!! And my advice to those TikTok nurses would be to find a different area of nursing that doesn’t involve direct Pt care! Because taking care of laboring mommas and their newborn babies is a privilege! One that these nurses clearly do not deserve! Shame on them!!!
The only job I was ever fired from was a shoe store where I had an asthma attack behind the register. I was officially fired for being distracted at work but I was also the only employee who knew about the owner and store manager affair though I had never breathed a word about it...I sure did after they let go. The store closed a couple of years later😁
That is the dumbest reason to get fired! Oh, I'm sorry that my serious medical condition caused me to be distracted for a bit! I'll just not have an asthma attack while working! Yeah, I can totally do that. *Sarcasm
This is exactly why I’m afraid of having a weak moment at work. I had a full on 100/10 panic attack at work and crawled on my hands and knees out of eyes sight just so I wouldn’t distract or bother working competent people. I forgot about the security cameras tho one of the owners definitely saw me lying on the floor while looking back at the tapes 😂
I’ve been doing nursing for over 15 YEARSSS! I just recently transitioned to being a CDL instructor (better pay + nursing was killing me) but I loved it. Yes it was stressful AF! Some nights I came home and literally cried because of how I was treated sometimes , losing patients, or even because of the stories behind the pain that no doctor could relieve. BUT I WOULD NEVER, EVER E V E R RRRR, judge ANYONE WHO CAME TO RECEIVE MY SERVICES! That is our profession and we took an oath. I’m glad these ladies have been pulled off of the board. They don’t deserve those patients or scrubs!
I just had a baby and the number of these that genuinely hurt to hear. When people are having a baby they are in such a vulnerable place and whether they’re in pain or not, asking for extra blankets, etc they were just pregnant most likely miserable for months, if it’s their first baby they don’t know what to expect always, and not everyone knows that to prepare with even in case of induction. I was surprise induced and hadn’t done any research on it and was grateful the nurses offered for me to go home first to eat and shower. Some nurses though are such mean girls, especially in the ER. The number of ER nurses I’ve overheard gossiping about my neighboring patient or spilling confidentiality and such it’s disgusting
As a nurse of 9 years, I'm horrified. This is DISGUSTING behavior. I hope ya'll know this is not the majority of us. I love what I do, I love who I care for, and I'd never want to do anything else. It's called health CARE. These ladies did not care and deserved what they got. BIG ick and BIG L to them
Former RN of 19 years here and I could not agree more! When I was in clinicals before I graduated, an L&D nurse gave me this nugget of wisdom: There are 2 kinds of nurses. They are heart nurses or head nurses. The head nurses are in it for the money, the heart nurses are in it for the care.
I was a teen mother and after my son was born the restroom was down the hall ( before they remodeled the hospital.) I needed help getting up because I had a c section after 43 hours of labor. The nurse got mad at me for asking for help. She yelled at me to get my lazy ass up on my own. I never forgave her.
Wow. That's horrible. I'm sorry. I've never had kids and I would hope no matter the reasoning I would always help the patient to the bathroom. Especially because we don't want you to fall. One of the nurses told me about when she had one of her babies she was so worn out after and her nurses bathed her and took care of her.
I’d heard it maybe a handful of times but never knew what it meant until today. I was SHOCKED when I looked it up and then even more shocked he got fired for an a comment that he didn’t even know that it meant something so serious
There are two type of people that become nurses: genuinely lovely people that want to help others and sadistic bullies who want to be in a position of authority over others so they have a steady stream of victims to torment who can’t fight back.
I almost gave birth in my car because of nurses like this. I read a whole page of nurses complaining about the "stupid pregnant women who come freaking out, thinking their in labor' and nurses rolling their eyes and sending them home, cririzing them for not Knowing better. I was so afraid of being embarrassed like that that I spent hours in labour at home until my husband finally didn't take no for an answer and dragged my sorry, sobbing butt out to the car to get to the hospital. Legit only barely made it in time.
That reminds me of whenI was pregnant with my daughter and was getting contractions, they weren't five minutes apart but I knew I was going into labor because I had my older 2 kids. The nurses were going to send me home but both me and my husband argued for them to check and low and behold I was already dilated to a 6. She was like oh looks like the baby is coming today like I don't already freaking know. I am sorry you had to go through all that pain because of nurses like that. It is really upsetting that they can treat others that way.
@@Tina-zf8gt , same thing happened to my mom. She was having her fourth child so she knew what labor felt like. They told her she was having false labor and to go home. She argued with them. They insisted so they barely made it out of the hospital only to go back in because her water broke. They put her in a room and the doctor barely made it in time to catch my brother. 🤦♀️
When I was pregnant with my first child my contractions started five minutes apart. I called the labor and delivery nurse and she told me "this is your first baby, it's going to take a while just stay home for a couple of hours" I told my husband nope, we are going now because we had to go through the Portsmouth tunnel to get to the hospital, and I'm not having my baby in the tunnel. When we arrived I was already dilated to 7cm. From the first contraction I felt to my son being born was 1 hour 45 minutes.
I worked at ED and we were in a hurricane. The L&D was on the other side of the campus and we watched on cctv this queen deliver her baby in the car (doors were locked and security had to open them but we were preparing to meet her) when security finally showed we sprinted to meet them and we clapped and cheered for her as we wheeled her in) she kept apologizing for the “mess”. I cried with her and told her she was amazing and sorry for delay of care. *We weren’t being creepy. We had dr and team at the door and giving the team updates in case things were going wrong. Hurricane was dumping 70 mph wind and torrential rain at the time
Me and my baby almost died because my nurse didn’t take my pain seriously, thank god she was on a ‘shift change’ with a proper nurse who could actually tell I was in distress. I had already passed out from this point and they had to get me into emergency c-section at 5 in the morn, my baby boy was born safe in 20mins of this and I haemorrhaged a lot. I thank our life’s to the 2nd nurse 🙏🏼
I owe my life to one of my nurses as well. I've been a nurse for 15 years, so I'm usually super quiet when I'm in the hospital because I don't want to "bother" my nurse. Unfortunately, this is to my own detriment too often. In this particular case, I had been admitted 8 days earlier for biliary pancreatitis, and my doctor had made me NPO (nothing by mouth) for the last 3 days. The 3rd day of NPO I got up to go to the bathroom while my nurse was seeing my roommate and as I walked back to my bed I couldn't keep my balance and ended up half falling and half waking into the wall. My nurse and I thought it was odd but brushed it off, and I got back into bed. He gave me a medicine that I had to rinse and spit out, and I fell asleep as I was spitting it out. Then he knew something was wrong. This nurse had worried with me for 5 days straight and went to the doctor immediately and told him that I wasn't acting right and he could not keep me awake. They drew arterial blood gases and multiple other venous labs and found that I was literally starving to death. The doctor that had put me on NPO had neglected to switch my IV solution to include a glucose component. This resulted in my body receiving absolutely no type of nutrition for 72 hours. When they switched my IV solution to Lactated Ringers I woke up fairly quickly and made a decent recovery. If my nurse hadn't been paying attention and had just written my behavior off to just being tired (which is exactly what I thought in my whole 5 minutes of consciousness that day) then I would not have lived.
My mom went to something similar while giving birth to my little sister. The nurse put her hand inside and said it wasn't the time and left as soon her shift finished. My mom knew it was the time and when the doctor from the next shift came, my mom was BLUE. The pelvic (I think it's the name) was blocking her way out, it didn't stretch as needed. Fortunately, my mom was able to do a safe and natural birth thanks to the doctor. Idk where the nurse is now, but I hope she lost her job. Today, my sis is very healthy and full of energy. ♡ But yeah, screw that female dog.
@@dianaquick8883 Oh Wow!!!!! How scary! I am feeling weak and light-headed just reading your comment! They wouldn't let you have boost or ensure in those 3 days?
@jenniferwilliams9548 No, unfortunately. They thought that was worsening my pancreatitis and keeping me from healing. Turned out my body was making gallstones years after my gallbladder had been removed. It's rare, so the doctors initially discounted it as being an option.
I have Iatrophobia and Trypanophobia, hospitals have always been really difficult for me. I feel as though these unprofessional medical providers are just making it worse.
Exactly, and why should he stop posting these idiots. Let's take responsibility for our actions. If she would have just driven by and mined her own business, she wouldn't have been fired. Keep posting dude!
When encountering a Karen and they shrill out their famous nagging call ‘ what exactly do you think you’re doing? ‘ The proper response is: ‘Minding my own business, you should try it, you may find it healthier for you’ ‘Nice day and all’ then back away slowly. You must never turn your back on a Karen or their counterpart Kevinas. They are like wild animals and will sense weakness and this will cause them to pounce.
100%! When you're disabled they say it all right in front of you too other people or straight to your face. "You're overreacting, it's all in your head, well my other patients with the same condition don't feel like this, must be a drug addict, maybe you should see a different doctor like a therapist" I mean the last goes on. They think they know how everyone feels but we're complex human with different feelings, tolerances and reactions to medication.
No, please get help if you need some. We will be judged by everyone. We can't do anything against that really so it doesn't matter at all. If THEY want to judge us, it is THEIR problem not ours. If they want to be angry and judgmental little beings, ignore them and get what you need.
I have chronic stuff too and I have completely given up on the medical system to even give emergency assistance. One time I was out running errands after an early dinner and we’d ventured about 40min away to get things not on the grocery shelfs in our part of town. Some gal with her teenagers was spraying air fresheners in the pasta aisle n hit me in the face accidentally. I have a fragrance allergy that causes my lungs to swell and then throat/tongue follow. I abandoned my cart, went into closest er due to early stages of anaphylaxis, not safe to even drive by the time I slid the car in park and they wanted to send me home for being silly & various nurses tried to tell me I was being a hypochondriac two or three times that I wasn’t allowed to use my epi pen.... my throat was swelling shut! I was getting dizzy, brain fog and focusing on not puking in her lap..... I got no care until I had trouble breathing with my 8 year old sitting there confused/scared that no one would help me. He told me later that the nurses were saying the hallway I was drunk on alcohol. After hours an actual doctor came in and he freaked before he got 4 steps in the room! I couldn’t talk at that point, I was trying to remember Asian relaxation breathing techniques to not panic as that makes the immune thing worse and to focus on keeping air coming into my body like refreshing ocean waves. I won’t even go to the ER for stitches or broken bones unless bleed out possible cause they prob won’t do squat. Better to just carefully address at home.
@sam12587 I completely get it!!! I have a Mast Cell condition that does similar stuff! I have to always have 2 epipens on me because of that sort of treatment! My other problem is Ehler's Danlos, where I dislocate all of my joints. I have fractures and a torn surgical shoulder that was done less than a year ago. I refuse to get it scanned to see how many of the 14 anchors ripped out because they purposefully dislocate joints purposefully! Then! They blame me because they can't be humane!
My ob and one of my nurses had beef 😂😂 so after I gave birth my ob basically ran outta the room (she also had other ppl giving birth that day) and the next day a different nurse came in and gave us A BUNCH of tea about the hospital and their beef it was so funny
I heard a nurse call me a little brat for crying for my mom as i was coming out of my anesthesia from a tonsillectomy when i was 8. Never forgot it ...
I work in healthcare, and seeing the video of the OB nurses ranting about patients is an ick to me. These patients are our priority, and they should be treated respectfully, period!
what i don't understand is why someone refusing pain meds when they're in a lot of pain is an ick for that nurse. like how is that affecting you in anyway that makes you feel entitled to feeling icked by THIER decision concerning Their body? not to mention an epidural is a needle in your spine, that carries the risk of being paralyzed if its done wrong.
Same! Thanks for saving me a post 😂
The definition for midwifery is..."skilled, knowledgeable and compassionate care for childbearing women" I didn't see any of that here. Really bad form!
My daughter has epilepsy and I never let her go to the hospital by herself. Learned from past experience.
@@littlekaren1551, I'll play devil's advocate.
If someone is complaining about that level of pain when the ball just got rolling, by the time she was fully dilated and things get intense, often they will be screaming for that epidural they refused and at this stage can no longer get. Seen it many times.
Btw, epidurals are placed by anesthesiologists who have YEARS of education and do them pretty much every day. Also, it's a catheter (flexible) not a needle (rigid).
Wrote my thesis on bullying in the workplace. Researching the bullying among nurses was jawdropping
bc they are all ex mean girls and bullies who go into nursing bc it’s a well paid field where they can continue to exert control over others
They definitely “eat their young” in the healthcare setting. It’s a rewarding job but it’s stressful and some healthcare workers aren’t always kind
It's s job that draws kind people as much as it draws cruel people.
Links to the thesis friend
It's not just nursing, I work in the lab and the older women there are... not professional.
I had a nurse call me a drug seeker 4 hours after my spinal fusion in ICU. She said I shouldn't be in so much pain. Turns out she DID NOT READ MY CHART. I had complications in that they accidentally gave me a hernia and gave me a perforated bowl they had to fix in surgery so the crazy amount of pain from.being cut in half and part of my spine replaced with metal brackets was probably enough on its own to need pain meds prescribed to me but the additional pain was not a joke and she just kept saying I should wait and not take it every 4 hours even though doctor said I could have it every 4 hours. Some nurses are evil. Sorry. But they are. You have to stand up for yourself. Because they don't care if you suffer. It is not them suffering.
@MaeRose26 reported her. But they made excuses that she usually works in ER and did not understand the spinal surgery process. How do you not understand someone who was cut in half being in pain? But that is what some nurses are like and the hospital defended her. Redlands Hospital in California.
@MaeRose26 it happens a lot now! My mother in law was called a drug seeker in NC but no one even noticed she had a fractured leg! Until I raised hell about them helping her. She is afraid of pain meds because she gets sick easily from them but they made her feel horrible for even asking. They treat lots of people who are actually hurt like trash because they don't even listen to why they are there. And don't care if you are in pain. It happens a lot to spinal patients too. I knew people who ended their life after the pain they were in and were treated like junkies and couldn't live with it. And it makes me hate junkies because they get high off pain meds. When you are truly in pain the meds just stop the pain and make you able to sleep. And yet patients suffer because no one cares about them because of the junkies. It is so frustrating. I know people with spinal implants to try to control the pain without meds and they are still treated badly.
@@rachelcampbell9733and there’s a lot of nurses who are addicts themselves and call everyone else the drug seekers. OP’s nurse was was taking the pain meds for her and then trying to talk her into waiting longer for the next dose. “You’re drug seeking…” because if you don’t seek out your rightfully prescribed meds, they can just disappear
As someone who has had chronic Illness for 14 years and often in many different ER/ hospitals. Nurses and doctors are usually condescending a$$holes. They assume everyone is the same. Like when I had a cyclical vomiting episode due to my PTSD and they insisted I took meth.. I definitely didn’t.. I was just in an area with high amounts of meth heads and they assumed I was one..
Can u sue them?
I’m watching this 10 months later… the BEST PART about Christian Cooper is he JUST WON AN EMMY!!!
this warms my heart
Hell fuck yeah!!
Yaaay I love positive updates
The 'mean girl'-to-nurse pipeline is such a real thing. Of course there are a ton of people within that profession who are wonderful, kind, altruistic, etc, but for an upsettingly not insignificant number, it's a way to be able to keep people under their control. It's a way they get to keep bullying.
100% all the nasty, rude, mean girls from my high school were in the nursing program at our local community college
I wrote my thesis on bullying in the workplace. Researching the bullying among nurses was jawdropping
I've had some absolutely shocking experiences nursing in aged care. Yes people can be rude, horrible and all the rest but it is literally our job to care for them. And at least over half of the people I work with are just horrible and on a major power trip when it comes to other staff
Tell me about it. I found out recently that my bully who as kids stole from me, hid my library books until my family had to pay even though we were poor, whom got my student peers including my best friend to turn against me, who hid my coats in the winter time during recess, and lied on me and about me nonstop is now working at a hospital as a patient representative. I want to believe she feels bad and is making up for the evil she did as a youngster, but seeing how some healthcare employees act, I'm now doubting that. Lol
I’ve got one at pain management that is so bad I want to switch pain management doctors every time I deal with this woman, and my provider is fantastic. She doesn’t even make me come in every month but I still go in every month because that’s easier than getting a refill over the phone, or through the app, because apparently this nurse doesn’t check either one. The months that I have to go in for pill counts and drug tests are way less stressful than the months I just have to call in for my refill. All because of a nurse who wants to be cruel for no reason.
What's really sad about the woman who wasn't hired because of her boudoir photo shoot, is that she wrote a book about how in 2010 when she was 19, she was kidnapped and held as a sex slave by her boss for SIX WEEKS! And she had posted her photo shoot because she was trying to come to terms with her body and how she looks, after surviving such a horrific situation, and that cost her a job opportunity! The AUDACITY!
this is so sad ☹️
I agree. Something like this, though, there should be a caveat before explaining the photos on the platform: "So, this is for all the HR departments that will likely come at me for these photos. If you're here checking to see if I would be a good fit for your company, please, continue reading the story behind these photos. If you have questions or concerns please feel free to follow up with me with those questions or concerns. I am happy to answer honestly." I mean, yeah, it's annoying to put that there, but the fact is that most companies/corporations WILL search social media. And they WILL judge you over your content.
My trafficker tried to make me do porn, so he could get money off of me. I refused and was beaten every time. As a childcare professional now, getting beat was worth it. I don't have to worry about not getting hired for something I was forced to do by a monster.
Is why I don't do social media. My private life is no -one's business but mine. I also don't want to "friend" people or have that convo - I work with/for you, that's it.
They will judge and pass over potential hires regardless of context@@squirrelly68
UNfun fact: a GOOD portion of nursed are former hs and ms bullies.
My mom is a nurse in HR and education and she's straight rejected several applications at her job from one person bc they repeated bullied me and told me to kms for like 5 years. "That is NOT a person I want to trust with my elderly patients" she said.
and that was enough to make you assume a good portion of nurses were bullies?
Two of my high school bullies also became nurses. Why do mean girls want to be nurses?
@@meggston6901good pay
I just had a similar convo with coworkers cause I had a hs bully as a nurse that was at my hospital and I switched doctors/hospitals and they asked “why don’t you want to see their progress and the way they’ve changed for the better” but that doesn’t matter to me- I won’t truly see if they’re a better person and I don’t want them being a person who is supposed to help me with medications and diagnoses. I’m over the bullying and they can be a fantastic person but I’m not gonna put myself in the position of having to work/rely on them
@bootychomper-ej9qt you ever heard of providing examples? That's what that was. The example of a former bully going into medical care that was directly linked to me. Look at the other replies, it's not just me who knows this. Research it your damn self and see how prominent the topic is on social media. Don't be an ass on RUclips just bc you think your anonymous calling yourself bootychomper 🤡
I learned in college, almost 15 years ago now, that potential employers will check your social media accounts. Is this not taught anymore???
My daughter eliminated all of her old social media accounts before she went job hunting and created new ones that were all shiny and clean. I think people are aware but most think it won’t affect them.
Oh no, people are told this from childhood. It's just that most are used to acting however the hell they want on social media and facing zero consequences from those actions that they think it's people just overreacting, or "old folks" who just don't understand. You want to say "no honey, we understand very well, but what you don't understand is that everything you do can reflect on your employer and you continously making certain kinds of comments or verbally attacking people who simply don't agree with you makes you look extremely rude, childish and like you make bad decisions and we pay attention when people tell us who they are". Too many have this idea that "I'm not really like that in real life so I'll be ok". Some also feel like it "doesn't count" because it's online and not in real life.
Jokes on them, youtube is the only social media i have
I was a “Junior Volunteer” in a hospital at age 14 and that’s when I learned that nurses can be some of the most mean-spirited, judgmental, gossipy, cranky people on earth. And also Absolute SAINTS at the same time!
it is because they deal with horrible situations day in and day out. Nurses are humans too and need to vent.
@@deceitfulluv1073There's a difference between venting about the stresses of your job and talking shit about patients.

The field of medicine is one of those career fields that attracts Pathological Narcissists in amongst its ranks.
@@harleyquinn5774imo (and some personal experience), the desire for control draws some to this field. Some people forget, every field is manned by all varieties of human beings so nursing will attract saints, sinners and everything in between.
Shout out to everyone feeling empowered enough to stand up to bullies. You make the world better for everyone.
Amen to this! 🙌
Agree! Can’t tolerate a bully eegit.
Yup I’m with you!
I had a good experience (ultimately) with bullies… I’m a teacher and 3 parents decided they didn’t like my style (2 of them were definitely narcissists). They piled on criticising me for my teaching (they said I was yelling at students and belittling them 🙄 untrue) - I pushed back and said while I’m open to hear their concerns, i draw the line at getting criticised for simply doing my job. Well! They did not like that! They ganged up on me and put in a complaint to the education department. My principal and the department had my back and recognised that I was being bullied - one of them worked for a different branch of our state government and was reprimanded for bullying, while I was offered free counselling.
So yeah - ya gotta stand up to bullies!
Yep! I was bullied during both of my labors and wish I'd been stronger back then. Lord help those nurses if I had a baby at my age now 😂 no holding back!
Getting mad at a mom for wanting a natural birth with no meds and being in pain is the biggest ick for me. Also I had a 17 labor and a 13 hour labor. Those are short duration compared to what most women go through. These woman are delirious, sleep deprived and hungry. Of course they are going to ask stupid questions. They barely know what’s going on.
Yeah, that hit personally for me. The idea of getting a needle in my spine terrifies me, so I declined epidural. I was induced and had a morphine shot at one point, so it wasn't a natural birth, but the nurses did seem surprised I didn't want epidural. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, but I definitely was in pain. I sure hope none of them were judging me for complaining about being in pain during labour!
Bump tht no pain medication. NOT for me. Bring'em on. LoL.
"These woman are delirious, sleep deprived and hungry." As are the nurses. It's why more people in hospitals die of medical error rather than what got them into the hospital in the first place, yet the hospital (and law enforcement) industry barely change standards to minimize a tired brain.
These nurses weren't "mad." they mildly got something off their chests.
@@markokoume9343 These nurses were being petty over natural, normal things. If they needed to get things off their chests they could go to the Hospital psychologist for a mental health wellness check. On the net to be an ass about patienst needs and not setting clear boundaries is not the place.
I don’t even understand why somebody giving birth unmedicated would be an ick like that’s not even your business why do you care how they give birth I could understand it if they repeatedly would not stop talking about how much pain they were in but kept denying medication that is annoying but if they just didn’t want it then that’s not a big deal
As a nurse who has experienced people who comes to the station often, many people are looking for reassurance and support.
No we are looking for actual help from you! I don’t need your reassurance for my severe back pain!
As someone who recently had to spend time in a hospital, at a vulnerable and painful time i knew 100 percent which nurses were annoyed by the slightest things such as me asking for help using the bathroom, and honestly it made the whole thing even more uncomfortable since I was scared to ask for anything so I would just put up with laying halfway down the sheets with my feet out and needing the bathroom badly 😢 honestly nothing more humiliating than feeling like a burden in hospital
I.m sorry you went through that. You deserve to be treated with respect as a human, because you are bearing image of God.
Yo, same. I got hit by a car about three years ago; the injury was bad enough that I was completely bedridden. I couldn't get up to use the bathroom at all. Oddly enough, it wasn't a nurse who treated me poorly. It was a PCT (patient care tech). She was mad that she had to keep bringing me a pan with which to relieve myself. A nurse walked up behind her while she was reaming me for it and the nurse jumped to my rescue. I may or may not have smiled when I heard the nurse chew her out.
I'm sorry that happened to you. It sucks. I have lupus and I had a severe kidney infection that leaked ammonia into my bloodstream. When that happens, the person loses their grip on this plane of reality. I was thrown into a locked psych unit until my blood work told everyone I was sick. Really sick. They treated me awful. So, I totally understand the feeling of degradation. I just don't understand the world. I just don't.😢
Because dead-ass literally without sick patients in need they would have no job. Can we bring back dignity
Im so sorry
My mom was a nurse for 17 yrs. She would tell me stories about the mean girls nurses who she worked with. It was really bad sometimes. They were younger and had higher authority than my mom. (She went to nursing school after she and my dad divorced and was 40 when she started working) She was one of the good ones. The hospital even made one of the newsletters about her. My mom had given a patient the shoes off of her feet and walked to her car, in the snow, with only her socks. She passed away in 2016 ♡
Exactly the kind of nurse my aunt is. She was recently sued by an angry mother she wouldn’t allow into her 16 year old patient’s room (at the patient’s request) and it makes me so upset. The good nurses are often punished while the bad ones are rewarded 😢
My mum was a nurse for 30 years, she would come home really sad some days cause some of the other nurses were just straight up MEAN. My mums only a little woman, she’s got such a kind heart and she loved her job, getting treated that way was misery. Thankfully she’d had some good job placements in hospitals were all the staff in the ward where really good friends and were nice but man, there are some awful fucking people who go into nursing that don’t deserve to be there and make the people who actually love what they do, miserable and depressed.
OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUL😢❤ She truly sounds like an absolute angel. Thank you for sharing that lil story. I love hearing of GOOD folks doin good things. 🙏🏼❤
Awww she sounds like such a sweetheart 😊
❤❤
I am so infuriated for the man fishing. Not only is he getting harassed, he gets called out for simply documenting the harassment. That is so messed up. And the fact that he has to deal with this in his own home and neighborhood is just sickening.
I know they are being racist then mad at him for showing them being themselves. It's so gross. Eww
I wish I was his neighbor. I love fishing and would be right out there asking about his catch or fishing with him.
He needs a sign. Yes Karen I do frigging live here
I agree I just thought I would mention that some people do fish in lakes that have NO FISHING marked on the lake. There are complications when people fish excessively in secluded bodies of water and alot of people do it to get past the fish limit and the game wardens.
Same! Oh and the end “ow she has a big house wah” .
Love how all these Karens that threaten cops and lawsuits clearly don't understand the law. He's allowed to film if he's out in public, and do you ask every white person you see just peacefully fishing where they live?
I've literally heard nurses laugh about how loud I was (no joke) screaming in pain. Then kept ignoring my nurse calls. Like it was a game.
When I was in labor I had a nurse tell me I was faking pain because "it's not pain, it's just pressure". No b****, this was pain. Those a**holes tricked me into staying for a full checkup after they found out I was only dilated 1 cm (so I should have been allowed to leave because at that point, I was only there for the checkup & not in active labor at all really), then gave me an IV and pitocin, putting me in hard labor while I still wasn't dilating. My anesthesiologist got called in, gave me the epidural and went somewhere else because after about 5 hours, there was no more drip, I was back in pain and finally in very rough labor. They told me they couldn't give me any more in my epidural unless the anesthesiologist came back and wouldn't say when I could start actually giving birth so I just started pushing. Felt my child "drop" hard and told that b**** a** nurse the baby was coming out & it hurt like hell. That's when she gave me the "pressure, not pain honey" line. Finally convinced her to JUST F****** LOOK and that's when she said "omg it really is coming". I gave birth 3 minutes later, almost in the hallway between my room & the delivery room. My ex husband wouldn't let that nurse anywhere near me for the next 3 days.
* looks at avatar * Gee, I wonder what ethnicity those nurses were T_T I'm so sorry you had to go through that.
As a nurse tech, yes we can be like “oh this is annoying…” but then you go and talk to the actual patients about misunderstandings/issues they might be having instead of just being in pure angst. Part of the job is understanding that a healthcare environment is stressful AF for everyone in the hospital, meaning that miscommunications occur OFTEN. You figure it out, make notes about how certain patients respond to things… its not rocket science
Yeah yeah, the amount os stories about nurses being cruel and rude to women in labor is over the roof. Dont come and tell this is just between them. They just hate women overall because they think they are the ultimate most amazing care givers in this world just because they are nurses. I will have 0 tolerance for this behaviour if I ever get into labor.
Thank you for what you do. Anytime I’ve ever been in the hospital. The nurses and techs have been the absolute heroes.
@marinacerrone74 I spent 3 weeks in hospital, as my appendix had become inflamed, and I needed to get my temperature back to normal. I had a very restful time there and was released. I had a visit to the surgeon, 2 weeks later, and arranged to have the appendix out the following Monday.
I arrived on Monday morning and was given a bed with a beautiful scene, overlooking a lake and park. I told the nurse how delighted I was with that. She said "your name came on our list of those coming to the ward. You were so kind when you were here, so we gave you the best place". I was amazed but so good to hear that. It's shocking to see how some patients treat nurses as their slaves. I find that very upsetting. Nurses are on their feet for long periods, and should be treated with kindness and respect.
@@alana2830😂😂right?!?!
I have so much respect for nurses and nurse techs I had life threatening surgery and I know I was a royal pain in the tush a few times but at least they still rushed in like I was actually dying.
My heart monitor leads kept coming unstuck and falling off when id go to the bathroom. All of a sudden you hear "code blue code blue" and of course my room number. 🤦♀️ it was so scary to them and me and it was because my body doesn't like their sticky tab things.
And I have a very dark sense of humor I bet they all were happy when I went home lol. But I appreciate every damn one of them to this day ❤
During covid I got rushed into A&E due to a stroke. My speech was affected but my hearing and understanding wasn't. I was in a massive area with 4 other patients. And the 1 nurse spoke to be like I was brain damaged and then went back to nurses station where she proceeded to talk s**t about the 5 patients LOUDLY in an echoing space. Not that we were demanding but about our illnesses and how disgusting they were, and then howled with laughter. I was evil as the other 4 patients were elderly, scared and alone. Bet your ass I reported her to the constant in charge.
As you should have!
I hope you’re doing much better now. I had a TIA then a stroke 20 years ago when I was 26, and it was terrifying. I could hear and understand, but I wasn’t saying what I thought I was. My in-laws had given my husband and me a subscription to Reader’s Digest, and they had just published an article on stroke symptoms. So I knew what was happening, but my husband says I told him I was having a migraine and needed to go home to take a nap.
He knew that I was showing stroke symptoms, so he rushed me to the nearest ER. I walked in and was ignored so my husband rushed me downtown. Everyone took us seriously and rushed me back to get worked up. Unfortunately I had a piece of metal that kept me from getting an MRI, and sometimes CTs don’t pick up TIAs or strokes for 12-24 hours.
The hospital said I could be having atypical migraine that was causing paralysis and sent me home. My husband knew something was wrong so he called my primary care physician after hours.
The nurse who answered had decided that I was a hypochondriac and had been mean to me before. I have endometriosis and had to have pregnancy tests done before getting my Depo Provera shot every three months. The nurse let my test sit out so it showed a false positive. So I had to go get blood work to see if I was pregnant and was freaking out because I also have heart issues that made pregnancy dangerous. The nurse decided that my doctor didn’t need to know about my possible TIA. My doctor could have ordered another CT that weekend and gotten me a consult with neurology by admitting me.
When my primary care found out that her nurse hadn’t told her, she was furious and reported her to the state nursing board on top of firing her. She felt so bad because she would have taken the atypical migraine seriously because of my heart conditions and the birth control I was on. She did make sure that my neurology team take me seriously and made them keep looking for diagnoses after they wanted to blame diet pills. I was very careful about being compliant with my heart problems which caused tachycardia. I never tried any diet pills because I knew they’d make my heart beat erratically. The neurology team did a trans esophageal echocardiogram to look at the back of my heart and found the hole.
The #1 reason for strokes in young women are diet pills, but there’s other reasons that need to be considered. If the hole in my heart hadn’t been patched, I could have kept having TIAs and strokes. I’m so thankful I had such good medical professionals around me including kick ass nurses. I wish I had written down their names so I could thank them later.
I had a stroke two days after my TIA. My mom had just flown in to help me get to doctors offices for a work up to see what was wrong. My husband was working for a horrible boss who wouldn’t let him take the Monday after my TIA off to take me to my neurologist. The neurology office called me, but I was too out of it to talk to them. I had the stroke sometime that night or early in the morning. I didn’t feel like getting up when my husband got up super early to go pick my mom up, and I was unaware that I had a paralyzed arm and partially paralyzed leg when I was getting dressed. I’ll never forget the look on their faces when I walked in to the living room to meet them as I was struggling to get dressed because I couldn’t fasten my bra. I put my shirt on over it, and they said my face was drooping.
My husband’s boss “laid him off” while I was in ICU. That was super shitty, but my husband’s client wanted to hire him which was difficult because of the non compete clause in my husband’s contract. The client was working on buying out contract, but the lay off nullified the contract. The client hired my husband the next day so I would have continuous health insurance coverage. Back then if you had gaps in coverage insurance companies could refuse to cover anything relating to a previous uncovered injury or illness. So everything worked out better.
I healed quickly and recovered almost completely. I was diagnosed with a blood clot disorder and had a Patent Foramen Ovale hole in my heart that let a clot form then go to my brain. The hospital I was at had a cardiologist who had just gotten a patch FDA approved, so I was one of the first patients to get the patch done by catheterization instead of open heart surgery. They even let me watch the procedure, and I let all the medical students watch. The medical student assigned to me was amazing and explained everything and printed out pages from different medical textbooks and journals that explained everything. This was back when most of the medical literature was in books. She stood beside me and held my hand. I have an allergy to Valium so they didn’t want to sedate me plus I wanted to watch. So they just loaded me up with pain meds so I didn’t feel anything.
The most important thing my neurology team told me for my recovery was to try drinking lots of coffee. There were a few studies showing that the chemicals in coffee helped the brain recover and form new neural pathways. The coffee could be decaf and mixed with different milks and sweeteners. So my husband would get me a Starbucks Venti decaf with extra espresso shots every morning. His sister took her vacation time to come up to help us as my mom flew home soon to look after her elderly dogs 🙄. SIL would also brew a pot of coffee for me. I was unable to walk around much because I was having a hard time keeping my blood from getting too thin. I was only allowed to walk to pee, go from my sofa to bed, and to appointments.
I recovered very quickly, and my doctors were so impressed that they got my permission to write up my case as another patient helped b coffee in medical journals.
So drink your coffee! I hope you’re doing really well. I’m so sorry you were treated so badly.
@@thesavvyblackbird I'm so glad you're feeling better and sorry you had such a bad time. I'm lucky I'm in uk so didn't have those problems. I can empathise I had 2 TIA's in 2 weeks when I was 20, allergic reaction to contraception pills. During lockdown I had a stroke, a TIA and a brain aneurysm. Fun times. The only time I actually saw a doctor was in A&E, then follow up phone calls. I have other medical issues so I just added my own exercises to help myself. Other than memory I'm doing ok, my speech gets impaired when stressed but I now carry a notepad & pen just incase.
Same or yeah. When I had my stroke and was in the emergency room my nurse and the doctor looked at me, and I was big, but not unhealthy.. and they came to me with 4 list that was things I had to stop eating, problem there was I didn’t eat non sorry for the bad English, not my first language
Thank you!

I cried when I heard that Christian got that wonderful job!
With my first c section a nurse told another nurse in front of me that I was exaggerating, only because I said it was hard for me to walk and I was in pain. This was day one. Some people should not be in the medical field. It’s not only the skills but you need the compassion as well.
What!!! I have had 3 of them and they are all terrible pain. LOL at least by the 3rd one I figured out my daughter's day bed was the best thing ever. I could use the back to help pull myself up so you didn't have to use those stomach muscles.
People have different pain tolerances my SIL was bed bound for a few days after her c-section, I was up and walking, well hobbling, around
I'm sorry that happened to you. You deserve better.
After my first C-section I was able to get up and move around, walking distances (regularly down to the NICU), but I think it also had to do with the fact that I was able to rest when needed...
Because after I had my second C-section, my little one was in the NICU again and the father had bailed on me months before, so it was all on me. I was exclusively breastfeeding so every 2 hours I had to travel from my room to the NICU, which wasn't very close. The sleep deprivation and pain was hitting me hard so even after 72 hours in the hospital I still was having someone transport me at times to the NICU. Yeah maybe I was a needy patient but it was literally out of necessity. I was in so much pain and I was delirious but was determined to continue taking care of my own baby in the NICU as much as possible. Trying to establish breastfeeding early on is important if it's something that you want to do and I was committed.
A couple times this NICU nurse made snotty remarks about "by 24-hours post C-section I should certainly be able to walk on my own unassisted every time like every other patient." ... I just felt so belittled but I persevered and kept asking for help when I felt like I needed it... And the NICU nurses weren't even the ones transporting me so I don't know what she was even annoyed about. 🥴
That's unreal. C-section pain sucks so bad. I walked slooow and painful for at least a few days afterwards and getting in and out of bed was the worst! You don't even get real pain relievers, I was given the equivalent of like extra strength tylenol. Unreal that a nurse would try to make you feel bad for being in pain the day of a major surgery.
This is the only thing I can say about being a nurse and feeling the “icks” (and I am one and have felt this). If you start to feel the “icks” about what you’re doing then it’s time to find another specialty!! I began to feel this working in ICU and I knew I had to find something else because this is NOT why I got in this profession! I changed and I love everything about it again! My job, my patients, my co-workers, just all of it! If you’re a bitter nurse with the “icks” find a new specialty! The patients and yourself deserve better!
good advice comment award🎉
Healthcare professional here! What they did wasn’t a HIPAA violation. No patient identifiers we’re said.
HOWEVER what they posted was a big big no-no. Of course, there’s a little gossip between nurses, just like coworkers at any other job. There will always be kinds of patients that suck to deal with. But posting about it on TikTok… they all need to be reminded that healthcare is a labor of empathy, patience and compassion
Insurance professional here, you’re correct. It’s only a HIPAA violation if they include patients’ names or other info that identifies patients. Disclosing PII (Personal Identifiable Information) or PHI (Personal Health Information) is a violation.
Yeah, these aren’t even necessarily one particular patient. A lot of these are a conglomeration of patients.
You don't have to be. Healthcare professional to know it wasnt a HIPAA...Everybody who's had a job should know that...
I agree however I wish more people acted like nurses and health care professionals and more importantly PSWS were treated like people and not robots. like this content is a nono, for good reason, but also you couldn't make a tiktok about how your treated at work without getting fired either.
There isn't a balance so of course people are going to " step over the line" and "go too far"
Like it's not enough to say" well if you don't like nursing then don't be a nurse " be cause must people who complain enjoy their job. But putting up with THAT is not apart of the job/ being a nurse. Its being a doormat easy to manipulate and use
@@Cutthecamerasdeadass1899 Regardless, it's tacky and unprofessional.
That first video makes me so grateful that I had such incredible labor and delivery nurses
Had my first baby at 22. Place to say it was a completely natural, no pain relief labour - I was expecting to be begging for an epidural I was quite surprised that I didn't have anything.
Two days later I told one of the midwife's I was in agony "down there" and I thought I was on fire. She sent me home saying I was a "first time over reacting young mother that was making fuss about nothing" .
A few hours later she sent me home. The following morning I collapsed and it turns out I had SEPSIS!
I really don't know why these people go into jobs that are all about helping people when they are so rude and nasty
Holy moly!! It's sooo crazy to me that medical professionals can so easily dismiss patients concerns
Oh God, that scared me for you babe!
as an ex care worker for Austistic and severely Epileptic adults/Teenagers , I can firmly state , most people dont care , those they were suppose to care for were an inconvenience.
They like the power they have over vulnerable people.
Well she is a mid-wife, not a nurse ir doctor. ..
What the nurses said didn't break confidentiality, but so, so nasty. Can confirm there are things that patients and families do that is annoying, but it's our job and to have compassion ❤
I mean you can talk about patience and stuff like that but the thing is what you doing is you post it on social media and you never know who from the top is watching it cuz they actually hire people to do that it's not just for like hospitals it could be for executives you know for businesses and stuff like that and these people are stupid enough to post this s*** on there and that's what get them caught.
Yeah I don’t think people understand the concept of confidentiality. My therapist talks about his other patients all the time, like “I told another patient the same thing” or “I had another patient ask me that once”. They’re just not allowed to identify the patients or give away information that could identify them.
Of course they do annoying stuff, they’re stressed out and worried about their loved one! And that’s where the compassion you talk about comes in. Most healthcare workers understand that and are so cool about it and willing to help.
Yea I don't understand how people think they are breaking confidentiality. Can you identify the patient? No. Then it's not broken. And an ick isn't a once off instance. It means it's happened at least a few times. Plus some of them are valid icks.
Yeah. Not confidentiality issue. But it is a massive breach of ethics.
I was induced all alone at night. My boyfriend went home to sleep and be with our dog and I was in the L and D ward alone with just the nurses. I didn't call them once or bother anyone, I just didn't want to, I was sad enough there and didn't want anyone to see that. There was a middle aged black lady who was more caring and comforting to me than anyone else had been up until that point, and it was the only thing that got me through being there. Some nurses just really do care.

@@rhonni1624 Did you really say it took you 9 months after THAT to break up with him...???

I had no idea it meant that either until watching this lol.

It’s a common turn of phrase in the uk and isn’t considered offensive, definitely not a sackable offence! I think it’s really unfair he lost his job for that. The uk is steeped in the history of the war and we are all well educated on all the goings on and the tragic fictional story of sophies choice (based on true events ect) , and to us the phrase is not offensive, if anything it continues the remembrance to the horrific history and past.
I've never seen the movie, but I knew what it meant. I don't think he deserved to be fired, but I understand the decision. He has a good ice breaker story for life now though!
As a nurse of 15 years, I truly applogize for any horrible experiences with bishes like these. We are not all like that. I promise. 💕
I believe some of the women on here should watch Anna the Nurse, Mama dr. Jones, and Mama Nurse Tina (youtubers and awesome Nurses/ Doctors)
Hopefully, their channels can show women that not all nurses are judging them (they have a good positive light around them).
We know, but it's rare to find a legit good and caring nurse today.
My OB nurses for both my pregnancies were amazing!
My maternity war nurses are some of the most wonderful people I've had the pleasure to meet. Seeing thus is so disturbing. I can't imagine. Thank you for your service and for your kindness! We need people like you to keep the world running and to remind others what it means to care for others
I hardly asked for anything because I was scared they would be mad or judge me when I birthed both my kids.
Worked for the worst boss imaginable for 11 years. They fired me without reason and I found another much better job. Today I am making more than 3x what I made there and that business is closed. AND I AM HAPPY.
I worked in an operating room. They put all the nurses with horrible bedside manner to work there because the patients are knocked out. We STILL had one nurse get into trouble because she was making rude comments about a patient's anatomy. Even though the patient was under anesthesia, she was able to recite every word.
Good for that patient. Bet that nurse was crying like a lil b*tch when the patient was able to recite every word. The bullies in nursing need to be rooted out, full stop.
It makes me wonder... why would they even want to be nurses if they have zero empathy? Isn't their job to care for the patient? Or did they go into that career because of the pay or were somehow convinced the pay was good? Or was it someone who just wanted to have control over unwell people, like some weird, sick and manipulative person who is mean to others and thinks their actions won't have consequences, because the patient is too ill to argue or fight back? Though, about the money thing, from my understanding, healthcare workers aren't being payed nearly enough and deserve better pay... Not the mean nurses though. The mean nurses should all be fired and only the kind and hardworking ones should stay and get payed more. But we live in a rubbish world that rewards terrible people and punishes the people who do good things.
@@ReptilianTeaDrinker Some do it for the pay. Some have false ideas about their own character. Some pick up bad habits over time from other nurses.
I used to work in a hospital in the HR department. I used to have so much respect for nurses before that job. NOT ALL, but A LOT are extremely entitled, annoyed with their patients, do not give them grace. Not to mention the having sex in closets with other nurses… which I also felt was disrespectful to everyone there. I asked myself the same question, why take the job if you’re not an empathetic person. One is being in control of others and two, our hospital had bonuses for nurses all the damn time…they were making bank.
I’m not certified yet but in cna school, but I’m extremely awkward and have social anxiety so I don’t have the best bedside manners. I just really enjoy learning about the human body and helping people is very nice but the only problem is myself. I think post-op/ op cna would be good for me judging by this comment
Birth of a child is the biggest day in the life of the mother. If you cannot empathize with this as a LD nurse and can’t respect that, you’re not in the right field
Yep
YES! The nurse who did my labor and delivery was AWFUL. Basically accused me of wanting drugs when I said my contractions were getting worse and the meds weren’t working (because they weren’t working) she basically told me to deal with it and that she’s has kids and it’s not that bad. I told her that if she wanted hair on her head she better get out of my face and get the doctor. I didn’t see her again for the rest of my labor 😂
@@saltydog7038Yeah see, that was my thing. Like a couple of those are valid things to get super annoyed about. The call light being ignored and nurses being bothered by a bunch of people while they have dozens of other patients to handle, that’s valid. The paternity test thing… understandable on the father’s part, especially if there’s a suspicion of cheating, but I can get a nurse being annoyed when they’re trying to take care of the mother and they’re being asked this when I don’t believe they’re the ones to oversee that kind of procedure. The guy with multiple baby mamas, now that one is extremely valid cause I mean I can only imagine watching tons of women deal with things like stillbirths and breech deliveries and eclampsia, only to see the utter entitlement of a man who couldn’t keep it wrapped up and who has now probably needlessly complicated 2 kids’ lives.
@@saltydog7038You keep your thoughts to yourself and remain professional.
Yeah but they right though lmao 😂😂 I was in LD for my own and dude watching baby daddies hop rooms is icky 😂😂
patient confidentiality is about personal information. Technically none of these nurses broke any of the HIPPA rules. But they did break a lot of social media rules(jobs have those now) and just general vibe check rules.
People at jobs need to vent frustrations. They should not be venting them on social media and mocking patients.
Unprofessional conduct.
HIPAA
You can buy only certain types of patients. Not women at labor. People will not forgive for that
…and Denying Patients Their Rights to Dignity?
I was going to point out the same thing. People don't often understand that there is no reason you can't talk about your patients in generalities. It only becomes a problem if you supply information that could identify the patient.
That doesn't make their comments any better. They still majorly crossed a line and made it hard for patients to feel comfortable in their care because of what they said. This was a PR nightmare for that hospital and so embarrassing for the profession. Crazy that so many women were involved in this and let it get all the way to being published on tiktok. It's just so obviously a bad idea.
💔My father was killed by a medical professional who had NO EMPATHY for him, or my mother who was by his side, fighting for his life for the 9 hours of absolute agony he endured as the doctor refused to treat him after realizing he had given him the wrong medication. I know that this is not meant to be a serious channel…but I really felt compelled to stress the absolute DANGER a lack of empathy poses in ALL medical settings at EVERY LEVEL of staff and administration. That one day changed all of our lives. All those people had to do was care.
A pregnant woman recently lost her child in an ER as they ate their lunch. Every time she asked them for help, they scolded her like a school child. This is a serious problem that has touched my life more than once, and can cost people their lives.
This makes me feel more insecure about myself. The fact that nurses and obs can see me in my most vulnerable state, seeing my private parts that I’m very insecure about and now knowing that they will be laughing and making fun of me behind my back.
I’m a nurse and I promise you most nurses are NOT like this. There are bad apples but please don’t be worried about this. They are a serious minority x
Same. When I had my son I had seen a video similar and I was to afraid to even ask for water. I didn't want to be a bother, so I just shut my mouth and let them run the show because I wanted everything to go well with my son.
That hurts my heart. You're right! I've had one baby and it is a vulnerable state. It is definitely traumatic. Whether by natural birth or c-section it is difficult. Much love to you.
I wasn't pregnant but the doctor and nurse mocked me in my face 😐 wild
@@TanEbear what?! That’s terrible. I’m sorry you went through that.
As a nurse, that gives me secondhand embarrassment. These nurses are the reminder that anyone can be a nurse but, doesn’t mean you should. If they don’t see that they suck by doing this tacky TikTok then, there’s no hope for them. Zero compassion, zero class and less than zero common sense. I’m sure their parents are proud.
I'm not a nurse, but I work as a caregiver. And I have a RUclips channel. No force in the Universe could make me say crap about any client online!
Years back when I was taking classes for Nursing Unit CoOrdinator, they specifically addressed HIPPA and uploading anything work related on social media. I think we went over every instance of nurses uploading stuff like this or patient identifiers as of examples of what not to do.
I worked reception in a doctor's office, and I totally understand a nurse venting, they did that to me all the time, but it's completely different to publicly complain about it. Especially sad that some of their icks were just patients asking questions.
@@MSinistrari, HIPAA
What they did was unprofessional in their scrubs with name badges on at their nurse's station, but they didn't give out specific patient's information.
However who wants a nurse that shows such a lack of compassion? I mean if I'm a patient and I'm cold and want a blanket I don't expect the nurse to go back to the desk and mock me for that.🤷♀️
@@KayleeFarnes , I wouldn't want them anywhere near me or my newborn.
It shows a total lack of compassion, complaining because someone asks for a blanket.
As a nurse, please do not be afraid to seek help because of these horrible people. I love my patients so much and it’s ok to be going through a hard time a good nurse supports those going through it. A good nurse doesn’t judge their patients. Everyone has something going on. Im glad those nurses were fired!
It's not just them tho. The amount of nurses I've seen online on all different platforms just being hateful toward every type of patient just has me being wary of nurses
@@marykatecraig4283there was a story a few years ago about a paient who was having surgery, and somehow his phone was nearby and eas recording; one of the doctors was talking 💩 on him, saying how fat he was and laughing about it! When he found it he turned her in, and her business closed (I think it was dental surgery? I forget) She ended up moving to another state to try to start over, not sure how that is going for her
Fortunately the number of good nurses far exceeds the number of nurses like those depicted. Unfortunately they don’t get the exposure that these yahoos do so it seems like there are more of them than the good nurses. It’s a shame really because good nurses abound and are such a blessing to their patients and family members of the patients.
Thank you for what you do. As someone with a critical progressive and degenerative disease, I have had hundreds of nurses in my lifetime. I can only count on less than one hand the truly awful nurses I’ve had. Most definitely less than 1%. 99%+ have been wonderful. I am even alive today because tow nurses risked their jobs and went against doctors orders to save my life. I’d be dead if it wasn’t for them risking their own livelihood to save me. Nurses are incredible, and do not get the appreciation they deserve. It is a thankless job, and as a patient I try to thank nurses every chance I get because I know they don’t hear it enough.
I only wish my experience with doctors was the same. Unlike nursing, it’s the reverse where 99% have been bad, and 1% are exceptionally good doctors who genuinely care. My disease is rare, very complex, and not well understood by most doctors. It’s been a lifelong nightmare to try and find doctors who don’t have an ego complex and are comfortable with not always knowing the answer, but doing their best to help anyway, rather than the 99% who try to flip it back onto the patient and play the blame game so they don’t have to face or admit the fact that they don’t know the answer. I know my disease is difficult, and I am completely fine with doctors not always knowing what to do. The good ones can admit that with ease, and I am grateful for it. After a lifetime of searching, I have a handful of exceptional doctors who I can fully trust with my life and I thank unceasingly, but it definitely hasn’t been an easy road getting there.
Fortunately nurses have always been the ones to pick up the slack and advocate for me no matter what, more than anyone else. If only more doctors valued what they had to say and actually listened to them. Unlike doctors, nurses spend time intimately with their patients for hours. They see with their own eyes what is going on and what issues need to be addressed, and often know best what the patient needs. If nurses had been the ones in charge of making many of my medical decisions, I likely would have had a better quality of life.
So thank you, on behalf of all of your patients, for being an exceptional nurse who genuinely cares about your patients. And if your patients may not always say thank you, just know that they ARE thankful for the kindness and advocacy you have shown them in their time of need, and they will always remember it. I certainly do.
Every time I have a bad time with a nurse/doctor, I tell my dentist about it because the ladies there always confirm I was intact being abused, gaslit, and in fact, was worse than I realized, AND the medical facts about what I was experiencing. Like when a flebotomist relentlessly bullied me for claiming I could feel the blood being pulled out (the hospital didn't give me water for 24 hours), was actually me feeling my veins collapsing a bit (like when you make a vacuum with a straw and your finger).
My aunt had a 28lbs sarcoma removed, and two ribs. She was in a medically induced coma for 3 days to deal with pain. On day 2 after waking up the nurse started withholding pain medication because she said if she can sleep through the pain then she doesn't need the meds. She was passing out from the pain.
That's illegal. If the doctor orders it, they have to dispense. A nurse cannot prescribe or withhold medication.
OMGGGGG THATS BEYOND EVIL!😮
Please tell me you told someone and she lost her job
Sounds like a nurse trying to sneak pain meds for herself.
Following one of my Hospital stays....when the Doctor admitted me, he called in every nurse that would attend me and said.....'If she requests pain meds, give them immediately. She has a high pain tolerance and is stubborn (he laughed and so did I), when she finally asks for a painkiller, she needed it an hour ago. She hates Hospitals and we only see her in the practice if she is actually sick or hurting. Listen to her. She will follow your directions as she knows it will allow her to get out sooner." Has another stay at a different hospital. I was there 2 weeks. Nurses were mainly horrific. One good night nurse and 1 good day nurse. Almost died due to them ignoring call buttons. Imagine, being on you back, middle having been split open (and still open with just tressels holding the sides of the gap) so no muscles for lifting your upper body. Suddenly knowing you were going to vomit and unable to sit up and turning on your side will take forever....that becomes a full on panic attack, so add the mental feeling you are about to die. Hitting that button and no response. I barely was able to turn enough and took another almost hour to forcefully pull my body into a sitting position on the edge of the bed. Now exhausted, cold, covering in vomit and no one came for hours....and it was not even a nurse, but an aide. Aide was sweet and horrified. She helped my get clean and recovered in a new gown. At one point, my 3 Sisters and Mom were about to load me in a wheelchair and remove me for my safety.
It’s insane to me that the lady that was passed over because of her social media they said it’s was because of her lack of professionalism yet when she was interviewing, the boss lady was very late to interview her and that boss lady also said she would call a specific day and then didn’t; the company itself needs to work on their professionalism before they start judging their interviewees
agreed I would never take a job from someone that late shows no leadership.
Same thing I was thinking.
Exactly!
Faaaacts after the email about not coming to the tour and the lateness to the first interview, I’d be done anyway.
Social media should be SOCIAL. That's for your friends and family not your place of employment. No one talks the same to their boss as they do with their friends. I know multiple people who don't use their real last name on social media because they don't want it seen in a background check, and they're not saying or doing anything wrong, but there's work, and there's not work. You can't control how someone talks, dresses, or behaves when they aren't on the clock, and they have a right to have personal time and personal thoughts away from working for that company.
Work to live, not live to work.
I learned today what Sophie's choice meant. I always assumed it was from a romantic movie where she had to choose between two men or something.
Me too
I remember the first time I heard it was from FRIENDS. Rachel was trying to pick which sweater she should wear and compared it to Sophie's Choice lol. From that context, I thought the same thing as the guy in the tiktok, haha.
The thing is, that movie is from the early 80’s and it’s not a Blockbuster like Star Wars, ET or Indiana Jones, among other things. So, unless you grew up in this era or close, it’s very likely that many younger generations don’t know about it.
I’m 62 years old….I had no idea the plot of that movie!
It's become such a common phrase though, like, completely divorced from the seriousness of the original source.
Getting fired over that is completely ridiculous.
I work in health care and yes my patients sometimes get on my nerves but I would NEVER POST ABOUT IT WHILE AT WORK!!! I grit my teeth and smile through it
Hearing these labor and delivery nurses hurts my heart. That’s just uncalled for for one of the most painful things a human can go through.
I know that video makes me so upset every time I've seen it, and I haven't even had a baby!😓
It’s also like so you even like your job? Some of the things that the patients are asking about or doing are normal things to do during that time!!
Going to be honest with you and I may get a lot of hate for this. A lot of nurses, wonderful people. Backbone of healthcare. But a lot of them are mean girls. And judgy Christians. I work in health care. I'm a mental health professional and I've never seen such a toxic group of people in my life. It's like they stopped maturing at high school. I've worked at like seven hospitals and three different countries. If there's nurses there's toxicity. So that labor and delivery video does not surprise me at all.
Now just for clarification, I'm not saying all. Because don't make general statements like that. I'm just saying nursing seems to attract a certain type of person. Not all but a lot of them. I won't even say it was the majority of them. But labor and deliveries are the worst. All I'm going to say. Find a lot of nursing students in the labor and delivery cuz they think it's going to be playing with babies all day but that's not the reality.
@@CieraMychelesame!
@sdrisd
I remember reading about how a high school bully may end up going into things like nursing because it puts them in charge of vulnerable people. It's scary to think about whether it's true or not.
I guess I live under a rock because I've never heard the phrase "Sophie's Choice" before now.
Same...
She sent her daughter with the Nazis by the way.
It’s a movie with Meryl Streep. I think she won her first Academy award for it. You should watch it. Very good
I’ve heard of the movie but never using it as a turn of phrase
I've heard of it but didn't know what it meant also! How would you if you never saw the movie?
I was having back labor with my first son AND I was induced with Pitocin. I started to tear up and told my fiancé that it just “hurt so bad” and I’m trying. And as he was trying to calm me down , the nurse that was in the room told me to calm down and stop being dramatic -_- So yeah. Some people shouldn’t be in healthcare
when we did a tour of the hospital before our first child was born (it was a group tour), the volunteer who did the tour was telling horror stories about what she saw/heard during labors. And she made a comment that most of the women were overdramatic and she wanted to punch them. This wasn't a teen, this was a middle aged woman. Someone complained because we'd heard when we went into labor, that she was no longer volunteering at the hospital.
report the nurse i was an EEN and if i did that i would be fired or on supension to do more training
Oof Heaven help a nurse that talks to me like that while I’m in pain if my husband is around..
But even Heaven won’t be able to help if my father is around 💀
I’m so sorry you went through this. I had pitocin with my first son, too, and the pain was absolutely unbearable
wth they should be the ones who know most about how painful it is but yet they are being a***les to mothers...
When I had jaw surgery about 10 years ago, I was usually really active, running everyday. So when I was there overnight, I would walk laps around the unit and the one nurse at the desk realized I wasn't doing anything bad. So she'd say hi to me, and "time" my laps around the unit, hold out a cup of water like I was running a marathon. I don't remember her name but she was so nice to me.
The hospital one is just more proof of how many school yard bullies ended up in the medical field. They often do it for the same reason so many school yard bullies also become cops. That sense of power and ability to abuse just draws them in like moths to a flame.
My middle school bully was my nurse right after I had emergency surgery for ruptured ectopic pregnancy she was so mean I just lost my baby at the time and I almost died from it too ripped my stitches right after I got out of surgery from her too
@@kourtneyreilly8519Why didn’t you request a new nurse? That’s horrible 😢
@jasminebanks7462 was scared to to be completely honest plus not many options I'm not from a city from country and there's only a couple per shift they had put me in the children's part too
My uncle was denied by a work space because his Instagram was full of photos of him fishing....he wanted to work at the aquarium. Still he took it like a champ and finished up this story with a "I guess I liked fish a bit differently than they do."
I can guarantee people going to the nurses station instead of using the call button is because no one was answering the call button, especially after hearing the way those nurses talk about patients.
I always thought I was helping by going to their desk instead of asking them to come to the room.
100%
It is possible the nurse is in the other patients room when the call button is going off (isn't it?) Given there is some shortage of staff
You are right on with that! A ton of my family are in nursing and I know what they do!
That was 100% unprofessional behavior 🥶🥴😵💫😵
My nurse when I gave birth, I was in labor a week and almost went back daily because of the pain I was in. I also had gestational diabetes, hypertension and preeclampsia. one of the nurses when they finally decided to brake my water and I was being rolled into a wheel chair in pain to my labor room the nurse from a few days before says “awesome, now we won’t have to see you in here ever again” lol I banned her from my room and the other nurses that came in to help me were amazing but she sucked and had a terrible attitude. Wanted her no where near my baby and I.
Bad Nurse Experience: The nurses were whispering while I was in labor, ready to push , wanting my OB there. I heard them say "I don't know why OB's get all the credit, we do all the work". That annoyed me, but I didn't say anything. They knew I was delivering my deceased baby. I have a closer relationship with my OB, than them. I do appreciate nurses, but them making comments like that while I'm in the room, during the worst time of life, was uncalled for. Sorry for my rant lol.
Im so sorry. What a horrible experience.
Hugs and comfort to you. It's okay to rant, sometimes we just want to be heard...
I’m sorry for your loss. The nurse was flirting with my husband while in the hospital after a miscarriage. There are some nasty people in healthcare.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that😢
I am so sorry! Mostly for your loss but also for the callousness of your nurses! I am sending you hugs and prayers from San Antonio TX USA.
Here's an idea: If you don't want video of you harassing people to get on the Internet, stop harassing people.
Also, I've seen Christian's show and he's fantastic!
I'm def going to have to check it out. Going to have to replay the video to get the name. Might be something I can have on in the background while cross stitching.
I have to watch his show! I love birds, and learning from knowledgeable people. Central Park Karen also had that poor dog taken away from her because she's clearly abusing it by choking the dog.
I still can't believe the man is 59-60 years old.
Christian actually threatened to take her dog too but he didn't put that in the video this is so old I wish people would fact check it was written on his original post to that he carried dog treats just for this occasion to get dogs not on a leash
Go Christian! I’m a bird nerd! 😂🙌🏼🕊️
I’m glad these nurses got let go. My wife is an L&D Nurse for 24 years and I have never heard her complain about such silly things. She loves her job, the patients and especially witnessing the births and the joy it brings those family’s. The only thing she complains about is the long hours and how it can be taxing on her body especially when it’s a busy night. I don’t think these nurses represent most L&D nurses… thankfully.
I’m a nurse and don’t understand why they would complain about family asking for blankets and asking simply about whether they’re allowed to eat/shower. Easiest part of nursing. Sure, annoying if they’re asking in the middle of an emergency. And they’re going through labor but want to do it naturally. It doesn’t negate the pain of labor. I don’t get their complaints.
@@BabyKangaroo279I was gonna say, those seem pretty tame to me… an “ick” would be like placenta goo ending up on faces or maybe the dad telling the Dr how to do their job while this kid is halfway out. Not asking for a blankie lol
When I had my baby, I had a great experience, but an emergency right after and had the room just flooded with nurses. After everything was taken care of, I was literally the patient that was bare minimum care to the point they kept coming in to see if everything was okay, because they hadn't had a call light in a while. Lol..Shout out to all L&D staff to taking excellent care of families!!
Luton & dunstable hospital ?
Ask her if she had horror stories. I bet she does.
I had to go to the ER while I was dealing with some kidney issues. I was made fun of by the nurses by being sick and did it front on my room for and loud enough for me to hear. I was close to being on dialysis a couple of weeks prior and now dealing with this. Luckily, the charge nurse overheard, and I could hear her yelling at those involved
Good. That conduct has no place in healthcare.
I had a doctor and 2 nurses loudly talking about me in front of a bunch of other healthcare people, patients and family members saying I was attention and med seeking. I was admitted dozens of times over 9 months with several symptoms and I almost died. It turns out I had serotonin syndrome (serotonin toxicity) from being on a couple prescribed meds over the years. It’s rare but can happen and if it wasn’t for my primary care doc I wouldn’t be here right now. The hospital doc and nurses were "talked to" but never reprimanded for anything. I was just glad I didn’t have to go back there.
Had to look that one up. I'm glad you able to finally find out the problem. You always have to be your own advocate. because you know when something is not right. Continue to push until you get someone that acutally listens to what you are saying. Doctors don't know everything.
@katrinarepine3879
My sister had a similar experience 15+ years ago that I happened to witness. She had an undiagnosed autoimmune disease that was causing her extreme pain and intestinal distress. She called me to meet her at the ER because she was freaking out (vomiting and shitting herself) while driving herself to the ER. I was an hour away and I arrived at the ER about 20 minutes after they got her checked in and was able to be with her when the ER doctor came in for the first time. At this point they've given her an IV and some anti-nausea meds so at least she isn't vomiting everywhere.
The ER dr comes in asks a few questions about her symptoms then flat out tells her that he thinks she's a drug addict looking for a fix because she had been to the ER with similar symptoms several times over the previous few months. Turns out that her immune system was destroying her intestines. It's extremely painful. Every time I think back to that ER doctor I get irrationally angry about it all over again.
@@poultryinmotion5721 I’m sorry your sister had to go through that and glad she had you there with her. With the increasing numbers of med seeking I can slightly understand why they have to be cautious. I just think some of them are a bit lazy and rude. They ran every test they could numerous times but failed to ask me about any of the meds I was currently on and it would’ve only taken a few minutes of listening with another few minutes of thinking and maybe an internet search, especially since the doc at the hospital claimed to be the best doctor ever and "oh so smart." I now need extensive dental work done to fix the damage done to my teeth from the constant vomiting while I was sick. I brushed my teeth several times a day when I had the energy to stand but stomach acid can be brutal. I also suffered bad damage to my esophagus and stomach mostly, but had some minor issues with my liver and heart that are now better. My whole time I was sick was from October 2020 to July/August 2021.
Oh my god I had that, it’s horrible and 10 years later I still have issues always feeling too hot.
They didn't catch serotonin syndrome for NINE MONTHS?!! I can't believe you survived that long! I'm so sorry that must have been pure agony.
I had a baby recently. If I found out that my severely traumatic experience in the hospital was gossiped about on tiktok, I would lose my head. That hospital wouldn't live it down. I live in a very affluent area, so I wouldn't be the only one who would make a public spectacle. I appreciated my nurses for how wonderful they were. I would not appreciate being made fun of on the internet.
Seriously!! How messed up, right?! I'm about to have a baby, and I had a rough experience with my 2.5 year old.. if I heard my nurses gossiping about ANYONE in their care I would be mortified.
Same 😢
Weird flex bro.
Get the Staff fired.
One of the saddest things i hear as a nurse is when coworker's talk crap on something going on with a patient, usually pain. Even if its a patient that isnt constantly asking for pain meds, it still just bothers them so much. I think a lot of people forget theres a reason these people are in the hospital.
As someone who went to the hospital on Easter Sunday years ago for a kidney stone, only to later that night find out I had an 11cm cyst on my ovary (had to have my whole ovary removed), and overheard my doctor talking to the nurses, right outside my door, about how he'd rather be golfing than dealing with "unimportant things like people with kidney stones," I really felt the ick with the first video.
It made me so self-conscious about going to the hospital.
Doctors and Nurses are taught to "Turn Off their emotions" so they don't get emotionally attached to a patient. Unfortunately, I think it literally just made them apathetic towards everyone who comes into the hospital and just treats the patients like an everyday customer at the grocery store.
@@LilDevyl17I worked in the medical field. As a nurse, I was never told to not be empathetic to someone. You treat them with respect and kindness and how you would want someone to treat your own parents or family members.
I feel for you. I have seen some very distasteful things working in the field, but nothing compares to the things I went through while being a patient and having lost a family member to nurses ignoring them. Don’t even get me started on nursing facilities for rehabilitation.
I had a surgery last year and for some reason the anesthesia made me extremely loopy. My brain was working at the right speed, but I could not get the words out of my mouth. I ended up hearing the nurses talking about me rather loudly and then lying about me on the phone with the doctor and with my husband. It immediately made me feel unsafe and trapped because I was unable to move or verbalize what I needed. I was trying to text my husband to hurry and come get me, but I couldn't even type it out right. I am now worried about ever going into surgery again because I have lost trust in nurses and what they say behind your back.
My ex once lost a job because he didnt want to meet for a follow up interview at the persons house. The person he was supposed to meet for the interview,a school music teacher, wanted him to come to her house and then asked if he could bring some eggs because she was baking cookies and ran out. This was all happening over text and turning her down was probably the only smart thing he ever did.
As a Healthcare worker I'm glad those girls in the first clip were fired. I wonder how would they feel if a bunch of hospital staff that should be providing care to them or a love one decides to get on the internet and start mocking them. At the end of the day, that's a job, and they had no right making a Tik-Tok about it.
Given how disturbingly common the mean girl to nurse pipeline is, I wouldn't be surprised if those nurses had never thought that until someone posed that question to them. 🙄
This is what my grandma would call kitchen table talk. It stays at the kitchen table.
I was treated like trash in ICU! I had ARDS (basically my lungs failed) and I had CHF (heart failure). I was intubated for 10 days. The first set of nurses was amazing. So sweet and comforting. The second set were horrific. Several times I'd be laying there with my sedation worn off crying, in pain, scared af, and I'd push that call button over and over and they just turned it off and ignored me. Then after the tube was taken out they acted like the smallest things i needed help with were just the biggest pain in the ass. I was so weak I couldn't even hold up a small paper cup. Thank God the nice ones finally came back . I cried when they finally came in and were actually helping me and taking care of me
Omg my mom almost died bc of the same thing! She has paranoid schizophrenia so it was really hard to get her to go to the doc, especially a hospital. One day her lips were blue, I finally got her to the hospital, she only had 40% oxygen n they said she'd have most likely passed if I let her just stay home bc her fears. Found out she had ARDS, COPD, CHF, the works...even turned septic. They had to stop giving her the psych meds when they intubated her, and she ended up in a medically induced coma for about 3months..followed by rehab/nursing home for 4months. I stayed at her side every minute of every day...except for when my dad came after work, I'd go home and shower. I was so afraid of her coming out of the coma and realizing everything and being frightened of the nurses and docs..thankfully everyone was nice to her for the most part..I'm sure me being there to advocate on her behalf sure helped that tho. I'm so so sorry you had to endure that scary of a situation as well as trashy nurses & docs on top of that. I hope you're well these days, I'd never heard of anyone else having ARDS. Prayers!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
@JoeMama-eg4zv I am so glad your mother is better and had you by her side. None of my family were allowed in because of covid protocols. I didn't have it but they were afraid they might. I obviously couldn't talk on the phone being intubated lol. But because those certain nurses weren't paying attention and doing their jobs I got ICU psychosis which lucky me in a small percentage of people can last year's or longer. But I'm very glad your mom is ok. It's definitely an ordeal you'll never forget
I hope you filed a formal complaint!
@@SilverFlame819 I did. Nothing came off it.
After my 1st c section I went into shock because of the nurses.
As Charlotte always says...
If you don't want to look bad... DON'T DO BAD THINGS!!!
How dare you tell people about the bad things I say and do!
I'm not surprised at the nursing thing, both my parents are nurses and while they did a good job, their experience getting bullied out of their job is further proof that it's pipeline from high school bully to nurse.
Girl at high school almost fainted when we did a dissection on an anaesthetized critter and left the room white faced. She was a bully. She ended up being a nurse. Bizarre world.
I worked in healthcare for a VERY short time because of that too. The nurses I worked with were awful to me AND to the patients
@@katrinathenarrator3726 It's called "having power over another". What better profession, than doctor, could you have? Particularly midwifery, where women are extremely vulnerable. There honestly should be much better "profiling" of applicants to those professions. Even a whiff of desire to dominate, extreme pettiness, vindictiveness...and struck from any hope of ever getting that kind of position. Or more people are like that now? I hope not.
Not all nurses are mean girls but all mean girls are nurses

Please don’t watch his show, he was just as bad as she was. He tried to steal her dog.
@@MrSophireProof?
We had to fire someone because of what they posted to TikTok before... it's so weird what ppl think they can get away with.
I quit Facebook a couple of years ago because I got sick of being bullied. If a potential employer was to look at my Facebook history I'm sure they would see me as a weird person even though the stuff I used to post was pretty wholesome!
The Lazy I Ranch is what I call my little 20 acre, off-grid, goat ranch. My goats, chickens, cats, dog, and parrot are my entire heart, so I post baby goat videos and other cute animals.
I rescued a baby raven about 8 years ago, took care of him until he could fly then let him go. I guess he imprinted on me and he chose to stick around for the food I put out for him. He disappeared for a few days but came back with his new mate! They've had new families every Summer, and their offspring also hang around for the raven buffet I put out daily for them.
About 5 years ago I started finding strange objects on my porch steps; a Casio digital watch from the 90s, lots of metal washers and machine parts along with small tools. They watch me repairing chicken coop and goat pens, so they've seen how I use washers and screws to secure the hardware cloth to the chicken coop. I actually use those parts they bring me!
My mailbox is 3 miles from my house, so I drive to get my mail. Sometimes the whole raven "posse" comes with me, flying tight circles over my car as I drive slowly up the rough dirt road. That must look funny to any neighbor who notices them.
I love these birds, and I used to post pics of them and show what interesting things they brought me. I stopped posting anything after 2 people on my "friends" list made fun of my "raven fantasy" and one said she had fed birds all her life but they don't bring her presents, because birds are dumb and would never do that. I told her to google "ravens gift-giving" and she would find countless stories of others who have been lucky enough to experience this. She didn't, and continued to call me a liar. Her name, for real, is "Karyn" and she lives up to it!
Anyway, I figure a potential employer would see me as the crazy goat/cat/raven lady and cross me off their list!
what did they post?
Do they think they can get away with it or are they just clearly not thinking? Especially if you post your face complaining about your work, how do they think no one will see it.
@@rra7490 you got a point here.. IMO this whole oversharing might be just that, not thinking..
They did several things but the major one was filming in a no-filming area. I work for a company that has a legal team who scours social media for this kind of stuff. It's pretty brazen when people try and get away with it.
As a person in my mid 20s, I guess I'm too young to know what sophies choice was without doing my own research which I had not. I was genuinely surprised and glad he enlightened us.
I’m in my mid 30’s and had no idea. Never seen the movie or heard of it. Had to look up the synopsis.
Same. I’ve heard it referenced, but I thought it was about a girl in a love triangle lol. Still a hard decision, but not nearly as hard as choosing which child to save😢
Just two days before I gave birth to my son that video came out, I was so worried during my birth that I was being a burden.
I was very lucky that my nurses were very nice and wanted to be attentive and genuinely wanted me to be comfortable and made everything so nice when meeting my son, showing my husband how to dress him and raving about how cute he is, helping me feed him. They were lovely 🥰
My college boyfriend was in a pretty serious accident and wound up being in ICU and then bed bound for a month in hospital. It coincided with Spring Break, so that where I was. The head floor nurse showed me where to get him snacks and ice and how to pop out the little bed. It was a trauma floor and lots of yelling. First night, he was out of ICU after surgery, he woke up screaming, “Help me!” He had spiked a fever of around 104 and was hallucinating. They got him fixed up and were supposed to check his temperature hourly as a result. Me being traumatized and a bit anxious,lest it happens again, asked the nurse if she had taken his temperature yet, once. She said no but she would. She hadn’t even checked his file. She was getting ready to leave and I again asked and she got snotty with me. Then she pulled me outside and proceeded to berate me for questioning her. I did the only thing I could do in that situation. I got petty and spoke to the head floor nurse and made a formal complaint. I didn’t have to see her for the rest of the week.
Speaking as someone who just had a baby a couple months ago, dilation has NOTHING to do with pain level or progress of labor. My water broke and my contractions got really really bad and after 16 hours I still wasn’t even dilated a centimeter. The doctors were blown away because they expected me to be at least at an 8 or 9 by the way my contractions were showing up on the chart. They ended up having to give me medication to force my body to dilate and talked me into an epidural after another 6 hours of very slow dilating. They said they were worried I’d lose consciousness during the active labor because of how long I’d been having bad contractions. Being dilated has absolutely nothing to do with how bad the contractions are or the pain level someone is at. Either she’s had very easy births or she’s never had a baby 🥴
I was three weeks late so I was induced. I had failure to progress. My labor was 98 hours and I never dilated past three centimeters. It was pure heck too.
Part of me wants only women who have given birth to be allowed to be L&D nurses 😅
@@katehakanson310unfortunately I don't think that would fix it. So many moms are judgemental of people who make different choices than they do. Many men and women who haven't given birth are more understanding because they know that they don't understand, whereas a lot of moms assume that everyone should have the same experience as they did
Not every delivery is the same. For my one and only child, I was in labor 12 1/2 hours. I did get an epidural and I was induced. By the time I gave birth I was 9 3/4 dilated. Never made it to magic 10. My mom had 4 kids and was in labor for my oldest sister 48 hours and it was a dry birth. For my brother, who's the youngest, he started crowning before she got in the delivery room. My oldest sister had a c-section for her son and it was to the point where the doctors asked my mother which to save, my sister or the baby. Fortunately both survived. But my point is that 3 women all from the same family with very different situations.
There’s always a hit or miss with nurses. Adds to the anxiety you feel when you are in the hospital. I love a great nurse team ❤
I’ve had a lot of surgeries in my life and I can say nurses are either the best people in the world or they’re someone who can cause you to have a panic attack bc they’re bullies.
Sometimes nurses talk like that *to your face*. They did to me when I had burst abscesses in my abdomen, a fresh stoma, and weighed next to nothing, and I asked for pain killers half hour before shift change. They literally told me to shut up and made me wait through the entire next 12 hour shift. Because I was crying. Nurses are usually great. But get the wrong team, and you're fucked.
That's awful! If that occasion ever arises again ask to speak to the DON(director of nursing) even if you have to call on the bedside phone. That is deplorable!
@@deedk Thank you for the advice! I really appreciate that you took the time to reply so kindly!
I was a nurse for almost 25 years and this embarrasses me for our profession. The things they were talking about in their videos were normal for patients to ask. Most new moms are scared shitless to begin with and seeing those TikTok’s are terrible!!!
Exactly thank you! It is a very scary/unknown yet exciting and beautiful experience and the videos were just so sad. I’m so glad I did not see this video before I had my kids! 🙈
I remember when I had my daughter... I was told to use the call button, but I was also one who didn't want to cause problems for the nurses, EVEN though I knew it was their job. I'm just like that as a person. I did push it once and that's when I made a mess because I dropped down towels to take a shower after labor... I did try to clean it myself before hand but the nurse came in and saw me bent over and she about flipped a LID! "Honey! What are you doing! Don't bend over! Are you okay?!" Meanwhile, I'm pale and tired... and I just smile, "Y-yeah... I was trying to take a shower on my own... the towel dropped and I went to pick it up and Woosh! I'm so sorry!" "HONEY! Omg... Please sit down! This is our job to help you, PLEASE sit down!" I started to cry because I made a mess and she hugged me and told me it was alright. I loved that nurse so much.
Mine found me on the floor and had two other nurses come in to scold me about using the call button. When i told them i had pressed it twice in an hour and couldnt hold it any longer they told me they had other patients and couldn't wait on me hand and foot. So do i use the button or not?
@@dorisaerwin I think it all depends, really. I live in a small town (1500 people) so the hospital is usually quiet. At that time (2011) there was only one other woman who had given birth. She was a c-section. However, I don't think they should have scolded you and then come around saying they had other patients to tend to other than you? Condescending there. I'm sorry that happened to you!
@rallerazek5509 I appreciate it. I think it was just a poorly staffed hospital when it came to nurses. I've heard similar stories from that hospital after. Unfortunately it's the only hospital for 2 hours as well 😅
I just had a c-section yesterday and when taking me into the bathroom to change my pad I started cleaning blood off the floor ao the nurse wouldn't have to. She was like that's my job and I told her it's the least I could do.
The younger generation discovering that if they choose the behavior, they choose the consequences. Priceless.
I personally became a nurse to help people, because I love taking care of people. I would never judge one of my patients judging them is not my job or anyone's. Taking care of them is my job. I'm glad those nurses were fired!
When I had my son in June, 1992, the nurses who took care of us were so wonderful! My son was born healthy, but he contracted Group B strep infection after he was born and became very sick, very fast. I didn't get to hold him long before he turned a dark, dusky purple and the nurses rushed him to NICU where he spent over a week with tubes running out of him.
I had already bought a breast pump, so I expressed my milk and bringing it to the hospital. I insisted they feed him breast milk only, no formula. My doctor said it would make no difference, and I noticed the nurse in the room looked at him incredulously. After the doctor left the room, she told me to keep bringing my milk, as the antibodies in the colostrum could make all the difference! She assured me that no one would give him formula as long as he had my breast milk, with my antibodies.
I found out later that my baby had been given only a 25% chance of surviving his first night. Those NICU nurses took excellent care of my baby and he made a full recovery. They also took good care of me, and were always encouraging. They treated me like a mom who loved her baby and would do anything to help him thrive.
Childbirth is traumatic enough without worrying about being judged by the nurses. Thanks for being considerate and caring.
Kinda makes you think they don't give their patients the care that they should be.
Same here, it is horrible that there are nurses out there like this. Makes us all look bad.
I agree. And I believe you 100%, thank u for being a nurse 😘, not like those on this video... appreciated..
My husband was hospitalized for 3 weeks after a major car accident. Sometimes he legitimately needed help immediately and his nurse was busy, but there were other nurses at the desk. You bet I would go up to them. Obviously this should only be for something that can’t wait, but hospitals are so understaffed that sometimes this is necessary.
When I was 16 and having my baby, the nurses were gossiping about me. Not just in the maternity ward, in the surrounding wards too. I know because I have multiple relatives that work there and came into my hospital room to tell me people are gossiping about “the16 year old in labor right now”. So lame
Omg how rude. They are lames.
I'm sorry you went through that
Me too. Nurse treated me like crap and the put my epidural in unevenly. When I told them one side of my body was in extreme pain, she ignored me. Then I had another nurse tell me to wait for Dr to push but dr walked in and said “you’re still pregnant?”. I was so mad
jealous that you're a young mom w all the energy to play all the best games and make-believe w your kid. I'm sure all those awful nurses and staff are horrible, boring, lazy parents.
Had me some children at 16 too. Gotta say, my grand baby loves that I had her momma at 16. I’m the youngest grandma!! And I can play like a mom😏💯
As an L&D RN since 1998 these “nurses” are an embarrassment to our profession!!! And while I’m sure there were times I got frustrated and needed to vent, those times were few and far between because I cared about my Pt’s as if they were my own family member!! And my advice to those TikTok nurses would be to find a different area of nursing that doesn’t involve direct Pt care! Because taking care of laboring mommas and their newborn babies is a privilege! One that these nurses clearly do not deserve! Shame on them!!!
Didn't lose it because of tiktok but because of their own unprofessionalism and rudeness
Exactly
tiktok only showed how horrible they are! tiktok wouldn't have done shit to their jobs if they weren't rotten already
which ones are you talking about here cause that doesn’t apply to most these videos

@@worldwidefunnyguy it's obvious.
The only job I was ever fired from was a shoe store where I had an asthma attack behind the register. I was officially fired for being distracted at work but I was also the only employee who knew about the owner and store manager affair though I had never breathed a word about it...I sure did after they let go. The store closed a couple of years later😁
Whoa! Petty queen/king!!!
That is the dumbest reason to get fired!
Oh, I'm sorry that my serious medical condition caused me to be distracted for a bit! I'll just not have an asthma attack while working! Yeah, I can totally do that. *Sarcasm
This is exactly why I’m afraid of having a weak moment at work. I had a full on 100/10 panic attack at work and crawled on my hands and knees out of eyes sight just so I wouldn’t distract or bother working competent people. I forgot about the security cameras tho one of the owners definitely saw me lying on the floor while looking back at the tapes 😂
so asthma: distracting
having a workplace affair: not distracting?
good to know XD
I’ve been doing nursing for over 15 YEARSSS! I just recently transitioned to being a CDL instructor (better pay + nursing was killing me) but I loved it. Yes it was stressful AF! Some nights I came home and literally cried because of how I was treated sometimes , losing patients, or even because of the stories behind the pain that no doctor could relieve. BUT I WOULD NEVER, EVER E V E R RRRR, judge ANYONE WHO CAME TO RECEIVE MY SERVICES! That is our profession and we took an oath. I’m glad these ladies have been pulled off of the board. They don’t deserve those patients or scrubs!
I just had a baby and the number of these that genuinely hurt to hear. When people are having a baby they are in such a vulnerable place and whether they’re in pain or not, asking for extra blankets, etc they were just pregnant most likely miserable for months, if it’s their first baby they don’t know what to expect always, and not everyone knows that to prepare with even in case of induction. I was surprise induced and hadn’t done any research on it and was grateful the nurses offered for me to go home first to eat and shower. Some nurses though are such mean girls, especially in the ER. The number of ER nurses I’ve overheard gossiping about my neighboring patient or spilling confidentiality and such it’s disgusting
As a nurse of 9 years, I'm horrified. This is DISGUSTING behavior. I hope ya'll know this is not the majority of us. I love what I do, I love who I care for, and I'd never want to do anything else. It's called health CARE. These ladies did not care and deserved what they got. BIG ick and BIG L to them
You sound like one of the nurses who actually cares about people.❤❤❤
Former RN of 19 years here and I could not agree more! When I was in clinicals before I graduated, an L&D nurse gave me this nugget of wisdom: There are 2 kinds of nurses. They are heart nurses or head nurses. The head nurses are in it for the money, the heart nurses are in it for the care.

@@monkeywrenchmoment7208 thank you! 💜 I 100% do!

I was a teen mother and after my son was born the restroom was down the hall ( before they remodeled the hospital.) I needed help getting up because I had a c section after 43 hours of labor. The nurse got mad at me for asking for help. She yelled at me to get my lazy ass up on my own. I never forgave her.
Wow. That's horrible. I'm sorry. I've never had kids and I would hope no matter the reasoning I would always help the patient to the bathroom. Especially because we don't want you to fall. One of the nurses told me about when she had one of her babies she was so worn out after and her nurses bathed her and took care of her.
@@ryleebrettsmommy2704Why does it matter? You have no idea if they’re telling the truth. Keep your nasty mouth shut, I feel bad for your kid.
Today I learned not only what Sophie’s choice means, but that it’s even a phrase at all. I’ve never heard/seen it before today 😮

the poor guy fishing, he gets bullied for standing up to bullies. 😢
Racial profiling, harassment, even stalking.
There are two type of people that become nurses: genuinely lovely people that want to help others and sadistic bullies who want to be in a position of authority over others so they have a steady stream of victims to torment who can’t fight back.
I almost gave birth in my car because of nurses like this. I read a whole page of nurses complaining about the "stupid pregnant women who come freaking out, thinking their in labor' and nurses rolling their eyes and sending them home, cririzing them for not Knowing better. I was so afraid of being embarrassed like that that I spent hours in labour at home until my husband finally didn't take no for an answer and dragged my sorry, sobbing butt out to the car to get to the hospital. Legit only barely made it in time.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. ❤
That reminds me of whenI was pregnant with my daughter and was getting contractions, they weren't five minutes apart but I knew I was going into labor because I had my older 2 kids. The nurses were going to send me home but both me and my husband argued for them to check and low and behold I was already dilated to a 6. She was like oh looks like the baby is coming today like I don't already freaking know. I am sorry you had to go through all that pain because of nurses like that. It is really upsetting that they can treat others that way.
@@Tina-zf8gt , same thing happened to my mom.
She was having her fourth child so she knew what labor felt like. They told her she was having false labor and to go home. She argued with them.
They insisted so they barely made it out of the hospital only to go back in because her water broke.
They put her in a room and the doctor barely made it in time to catch my brother. 🤦♀️
When I was pregnant with my first child my contractions started five minutes apart.
I called the labor and delivery nurse and she told me "this is your first baby, it's going to take a while just stay home for a couple of hours"
I told my husband nope, we are going now because we had to go through the Portsmouth tunnel to get to the hospital, and I'm not having my baby in the tunnel.
When we arrived I was already dilated to 7cm.
From the first contraction I felt to my son being born was 1 hour 45 minutes.
I worked at ED and we were in a hurricane. The L&D was on the other side of the campus and we watched on cctv this queen deliver her baby in the car (doors were locked and security had to open them but we were preparing to meet her) when security finally showed we sprinted to meet them and we clapped and cheered for her as we wheeled her in) she kept apologizing for the “mess”. I cried with her and told her she was amazing and sorry for delay of care.
*We weren’t being creepy. We had dr and team at the door and giving the team updates in case things were going wrong. Hurricane was dumping 70 mph wind and torrential rain at the time
Me and my baby almost died because my nurse didn’t take my pain seriously, thank god she was on a ‘shift change’ with a proper nurse who could actually tell I was in distress. I had already passed out from this point and they had to get me into emergency c-section at 5 in the morn, my baby boy was born safe in 20mins of this and I haemorrhaged a lot. I thank our life’s to the 2nd nurse 🙏🏼
I owe my life to one of my nurses as well. I've been a nurse for 15 years, so I'm usually super quiet when I'm in the hospital because I don't want to "bother" my nurse. Unfortunately, this is to my own detriment too often. In this particular case, I had been admitted 8 days earlier for biliary pancreatitis, and my doctor had made me NPO (nothing by mouth) for the last 3 days. The 3rd day of NPO I got up to go to the bathroom while my nurse was seeing my roommate and as I walked back to my bed I couldn't keep my balance and ended up half falling and half waking into the wall. My nurse and I thought it was odd but brushed it off, and I got back into bed. He gave me a medicine that I had to rinse and spit out, and I fell asleep as I was spitting it out. Then he knew something was wrong. This nurse had worried with me for 5 days straight and went to the doctor immediately and told him that I wasn't acting right and he could not keep me awake. They drew arterial blood gases and multiple other venous labs and found that I was literally starving to death. The doctor that had put me on NPO had neglected to switch my IV solution to include a glucose component. This resulted in my body receiving absolutely no type of nutrition for 72 hours. When they switched my IV solution to Lactated Ringers I woke up fairly quickly and made a decent recovery. If my nurse hadn't been paying attention and had just written my behavior off to just being tired (which is exactly what I thought in my whole 5 minutes of consciousness that day) then I would not have lived.
My mom went to something similar while giving birth to my little sister. The nurse put her hand inside and said it wasn't the time and left as soon her shift finished. My mom knew it was the time and when the doctor from the next shift came, my mom was BLUE. The pelvic (I think it's the name) was blocking her way out, it didn't stretch as needed. Fortunately, my mom was able to do a safe and natural birth thanks to the doctor. Idk where the nurse is now, but I hope she lost her job. Today, my sis is very healthy and full of energy. ♡
But yeah, screw that female dog.
@@dianaquick8883 Oh Wow!!!!! How scary! I am feeling weak and light-headed just reading your comment! They wouldn't let you have boost or ensure in those 3 days?
@jenniferwilliams9548 No, unfortunately. They thought that was worsening my pancreatitis and keeping me from healing. Turned out my body was making gallstones years after my gallbladder had been removed. It's rare, so the doctors initially discounted it as being an option.
I have Iatrophobia and Trypanophobia, hospitals have always been really difficult for me. I feel as though these unprofessional medical providers are just making it worse.

100%! When you're disabled they say it all right in front of you too other people or straight to your face. "You're overreacting, it's all in your head, well my other patients with the same condition don't feel like this, must be a drug addict, maybe you should see a different doctor like a therapist" I mean the last goes on. They think they know how everyone feels but we're complex human with different feelings, tolerances and reactions to medication.
@@Fe-be, you know what I just learned??? Any ER doctor who doesn't like you can write your condition off as "resolved"!!!!!!
No, please get help if you need some. We will be judged by everyone. We can't do anything against that really so it doesn't matter at all. If THEY want to judge us, it is THEIR problem not ours. If they want to be angry and judgmental little beings, ignore them and get what you need.
I have chronic stuff too and I have completely given up on the medical system to even give emergency assistance.
One time I was out running errands after an early dinner and we’d ventured about 40min away to get things not on the grocery shelfs in our part of town.
Some gal with her teenagers was spraying air fresheners in the pasta aisle n hit me in the face accidentally. I have a fragrance allergy that causes my lungs to swell and then throat/tongue follow.
I abandoned my cart, went into closest er due to early stages of anaphylaxis, not safe to even drive by the time I slid the car in park and they wanted to send me home for being silly & various nurses tried to tell me I was being a hypochondriac two or three times that I wasn’t allowed to use my epi pen.... my throat was swelling shut! I was getting dizzy, brain fog and focusing on not puking in her lap..... I got no care until I had trouble breathing with my 8 year old sitting there confused/scared that no one would help me. He told me later that the nurses were saying the hallway I was drunk on alcohol.
After hours an actual doctor came in and he freaked before he got 4 steps in the room! I couldn’t talk at that point, I was trying to remember Asian relaxation breathing techniques to not panic as that makes the immune thing worse and to focus on keeping air coming into my body like refreshing ocean waves. I won’t even go to the ER for stitches or broken bones unless bleed out possible cause they prob won’t do squat. Better to just carefully address at home.
@sam12587 I completely get it!!! I have a Mast Cell condition that does similar stuff! I have to always have 2 epipens on me because of that sort of treatment! My other problem is Ehler's Danlos, where I dislocate all of my joints. I have fractures and a torn surgical shoulder that was done less than a year ago. I refuse to get it scanned to see how many of the 14 anchors ripped out because they purposefully dislocate joints purposefully! Then! They blame me because they can't be humane!
My ob and one of my nurses had beef 😂😂 so after I gave birth my ob basically ran outta the room (she also had other ppl giving birth that day) and the next day a different nurse came in and gave us A BUNCH of tea about the hospital and their beef it was so funny
I heard a nurse call me a little brat for crying for my mom as i was coming out of my anesthesia from a tonsillectomy when i was 8. Never forgot it ...
