- I had a lot of questions about what it's like to be a nurse on a mercy ship and thankfully the lovely nurse Gina is here with all the answers!
I also made another video about what it's like to be a Nurse on the Africa Mercy during the Cameroonian Field Service with the amazing Kirsten Murphy so if you have more questions make sure to check that video out here: • What it's Like to Be a...
Hi, I was a patient at Mercy Ships in Senegal.
I am very happy to see the beautiful Gina. She was always very kind and was there for the patients. I personally love her very much. She will surely recognize me if I call her Mrs chewing gum 😂😍.
What a wonderful story! Thank you so much for sharing Vie, so glad you could get your surgery and get to know the lovely Gina! :)
Yer is you number
Great tour and explanation of layout; the day and afternoon shifts would be easy, the overnight ( graveyard) a liitle harder to stay up all night, Gina has done excellent.
Really cool and interesting. Hope to be a part of the nursing staff one day.
Hope to see you here too one day! Nurses seem to love it here!
How to be part of the team?
God Bless the nurses and Doctor for all that you do. Blessing
I know you’ve heard this a lot already. But thank you for the insight! I’m currently a nursing student. And Praying to serve on a Mercy Ship if/when the Lord allows. It’s awesome what the whole crew does! Your videos about your experience helps me understand the vitality of what the teams does and keeps me motivated on days I feel overwhelmed with school. Thanks for sharing your experiences girl, God’s truly working in and through.
Thanks so much for the nursing perspective. Can't wait to be on the ship one day❤
Love your videos, thanks. I’m a retired RN now, but I wish I’d had an opportunity to serve on a Mercy Ship.
Carys!!! I just came across this one!! You are so awesome! YOU are our best Ambassador!!
Robyn!! Aww thanks for always being so encouraging, it means the world! I love being able to advocate for Mercy Shippers whenever I can!
Thank you for being on the front lines as a Nurse thank you for your service you are true hero you are a great role model you deserve to Congressional Medal of Honor for being on the front lines as a nurse for taking care of your patients thank you once again
Our nurses and doctors and all the crew who keep the ship going are truly wonderful and giving people, I continue to be inspired by them as well! Thank you for your kind words and for watching Robert!
@@CarysParker you are very welcome I enjoy watching your RUclips page
@@robertsilva8097 I am so glad my videos can be helpful! Thank you!!
@@CarysParker I miss Navy Chow have you ever heard of N.A.S Alameda in California I used to be a Naval base in the San Francisco Bay Area I was there from 1988 two 1994 the BEQ was very Nice
Ironically I was stationed on the USNS Mercy as a surgical tech when I was in the Navy. Hope to one day volunteer on the Mercy Ship as a nurse.
Would love to have you aboard one day, yes we get confused with the USNS Mercy all the time, both ships are doing great work!
What a wonderful job 😍 it's definitely what I would like to do like a nurse. I'll be on that ship in 2 more years🙏
Always did written charting.
Impressed with this set up. Always love watching your videos
We are so thankful to have such an incredible set up and equipment --thanks so much for watching, I hope to see you on board someday!
This would be something I’d love to do once my children are older. I’ve worked NICU, OB, med-surg, and oncology so I think I’d fit in somewhere on the ship!
Thanks a ton for this valuable information. I am really hoping to volunteer. Question, how much does it cost to be a volunteer for 3 months? Just so i can prepare for my time there. This is such a blessing.
Ah! The nostalgia! She walked right by my old cabin!
Thanks for the work, I pray to be a nurse on the ship some days 😅
When I was living in Bali, Indonesia, I heard about babies being born with Cataracts. I wondered how this was possible, but having measured the Tap water , I found that it had over 200 parts per million of particles in it.
I had previously helped a man in Sydney, Australia to lose his Cataracts by drinking Distilled Water for a month. - 4 people I have now been able to help, to the shock of Eye Surgeons. (1 - 3 months seems to be the time for Cataract removal.)
You may have to keep up your intake of good minerals with Seaweed, which can also help Goiters.
Praise to God for giving the in sight to help with this & many other health problems in Indonesia.
Very informative video 👍🏽 Are there any anesthesia technicians aboard?
Thank you for the Great video
So new sailor here. Hope that I in the next couple of years can take a tour with you guys. Just need to find the funding... Keep doing the great work...
I am currently bingewatching your videos :D
haha I love that! Thanks so much for watching and I really hope we see you aboard one day! I've heard it's a very unique experience for sailors/maritime workers!
Yes i love th job thanks you much
Hi Carys, Thanks for the video! Our daughter is a new nurse, just received her BSN and starting to work at a local hospital in two weeks. Maybe some day she can come serve with Mercy Ships.
A question for Gina: You mentioned that the nurses serve on eight hour shifts. How many shifts per week do you work?
Thanks, John :)
that's a great question, I will ask and find out! Hope your daughter can come one day! :)
@@CarysParker I know you're about to leave the ship now. Did you get a chance to ask Gina (how many eight hour shifts per week nurses work)?
@@jkopvo Yes thank you for reminding me, my friend who was a nurse aboard says its typically 5 8 hour shifts
Does cruise nurse has a private room?
And In Korea, I heard that cruise nurses have to speak Chinese to become a cruise nurse, can you speak Chinese?
They have shared cabins. And by the way, this is not a cruise, it is a hospital ship that primarily serve in Africa right now, so no Chinese needed.
Thank you 🌱
So what you think about this Coronavirus situation in US 🇺🇸
Do you offer ARTs to crew ship members onboard
Are the medical imaging/radiology equipment rooms in use?
So great to see everything. Very interesting and educational.
I hope to volunteer soon (aug/sept '20?) in a ship shop. Could/Would you please also show something from the shops?
ruclips.net/video/jsh5tg6SRr4/видео.html I have a scene in this video where we show the ship shop!
I'm Interested and looking for Job
What is the process
I'm a graduated in Nursing
From INDIA
you can go to mercyships.org and clock volunteer to apply as a nurse! Just be aware all of our positions onboard are volunteer positions, hope to see you on the ship one day!
My fear of someone seeing my handwriting trumps sea monsters, storms, giant waves and getting ready to assist in surgery while a veteran short scrub-nurse watches my every move while shaking her head.
hi my name is Christina, you all are doing an amazing job ,my daughter had bad scoliosis, she has a 85% curve 😭😥 I would really love some help for my 11 year old daughter 😥 I am from Jamaica , is there anyway I can contact anyone from this ship
Hello Carys, Please can you consider doing a video on Hospital Chaplain ...This video was just on point ,
Thanks a Million
Definitely, someone else was asking for that too so I will add it to the list of vlogs I am working on for sure! thanks for watching!
I just subscribed to your beautiful Channel
Yay! Thanks so much Robert, you're the best!! I hope to visit the ship again one day soon and make some more videos about it :)
@@CarysParker you are very welcome Commander Parker
I am alsoo emergency nurse working in Dubai,how cani get job in ship
This is what I've been looking for..... I love it ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ 💕 would you Know the average pay for nurses for mercy volunteers
Hi David! All of our nurses on board ship are volunteers. Thanks so much for watching!!
Does Mercy ships pay salary for volunteer madam?
So I’m not trying to be rude but totally curious. Why are chronically ill patients who can’t even get out of bed on cruise ships?
We are actually not a cruise ship, Mercy Ships runs the largest non-governmental hospital ship crewed by volunteers who pay to work onboard
I had just the same question, I was very curious about the OP rooms, because I thought it was a normal cruise ship, and I was thinking: why would a cruise ship would invest in an OP room or something like that, for passengers who would need it only once in a while due to an accident or so? 😅 thanks for sharing!
The mercy types should be 6 of those 2 for president and vice president, 1 for senate , one for congress ,and 2 for defense and state departments staff to command and control in case of war drill
