So great to hear some of your nursing experience. I was also a Covid nurse and have a similar story. I am now a behavioral health/psychiatric nurse and graduate next year with my psych np. I think it’s amazing you stepped away from bedside to shed light on mental health! Our mental health is just as important but does take the back burner most of the time. I would love to see you guys have Jennifer stone (wizards of waverly place) on! She’s also a nurse and has some great perspectives on burn out and empathy! Great episode.
As a CNA/Med Tech for 15 yrs I have found myself beyond burnt out. The idea of paying for schooling to become a LPN or RN so I can spend 40 percent of the shift passing pills, 40 percent of the shift charting, calling doctors, pharmacists, families, 10 percent of the shift interacting with patients & the last ten percent of the shift helping my coworkers is something I know would be a colossal waste of my energy, time & monies. The backstabbing, caddy, illegal activities from coworkers not to mention the illegal activities from facilities is beyond rampant. The physical, mental, verbal, & SA abuse from coworkers, patients and family members to openly spoken about yet NEVER addressed. The entire American Healthcare system is not only broken but also run by a high school click mentality that is blatantly asking EVERY healthcare clinician to co-sign patient abuse and neglect. Hospitals pay dog scraps, LTC/SNF/Assisted Living Facilities offer equally heinous pay, and the latter three rarely have necessary supplies(wash clothes, wipes, towels, linens, prescribed meds for each patient, locking doors, evening snacks, etc). The mental well-being of the staff as a whole has NEVER been paramount to the establishments and has been in dire straits well before COVID. I'll spare the good, the bad, the ugly, & the beyond immoral and illegal tales, as I'd be here for weeks. We obviously need more of the right nurses but more importantly we need a revamped system that truly, madly, deeply CARES for the HEALTH of the patients AND the clinicians.
Im a retired RN, and I graduated from a three year diploma program in the 60’s, ( no BSN until 4 years)when obviously nursing was a lot different than it is now. I worked with nurses who graduated from the “ new” two year program, ( BSN after two years) and i spent four years working on a medical/ surgical unit.In listening to you discuss “ competitiveness”, there was a difference between Rn’s who had lots of head knowledge but still needed clinical experience of actually working ( two year RN’s )and those who had that extra year of work experience after three years.. of school. you learn so much with each year of experience about how to organize your time and about how to work more efficiently under pressure….it just takes the actual work experience no matter which specialty you choose to become better at your job. I cant imagine working with Covid as a new graduate….so much unknown and so much stress!..Burn out seems almost inevitable. Thank you for all you must’ve contributed.❤️
Another Favorite Episode unlocked 💕🫶🏻😍🤩 This one is inspirational indeed! Thank you Tay for answering my nursing question in this episode! I am so inspired on what you learned & experienced as a nurse. Thank you for being a motivator & an inspiration for the future nurses out there. 🥹🫶🏻🤩💕
I had wonderful nurses during my cancer journey. My mom and I took gifts for them to my chemo sessions. We still continue to visit and take gifts during Christmas and my remission anniversary. I will always be super grateful 💕
I don’t believe in the nursing shortage anymore. I’m graduating May 10 from nursing school and about half of my cohort doesn’t have jobs because hospitals aren’t hiring new grads. People need to Quit complaining about the shortage if nobody’s gonna do anything to fix it lmao.
Enjoyed watching this as a nurse, I started nursing school right out of high-school and got a job right after and been working for 7 years now. I got a chuckle out of the holding your pee for 5 hours, just the other week I held my bladder for my entire 12 hr shift because I didn't have time to go 😂 I went at home before I left for work and then at home after my shift. Nursing is very much a love hate relationship especially depending where you work. The good though makes all the terrible worth it.
Bravest episode... and to be fair, anytime Tay talks I get flashes from the ER. Bless you guys for posting this, honestly. Tay's not only a hero she's a warrior... All the school she went through only to get bullied when she finally felt she made it in life. Glad she met you, Taylor. ❤🔥#edie
Tay - so great to hear your nursing journey! Nursing wasn’t my dream either yet I just went back to school at 26 and am halfway through my RN program now. I’m working as a tech in the hospital (oncology unit) on top of school, and man is it hard to not burnout before I’m even an RN. Sending you all the love and thank you for your incredible outlook on nursing and tips for prioritizing myself as I enter practice ❤
My premie twins spent 3 weeks in the nicu at the tale end of Covid and their nurses were amazing!! I think of them fondly!! They always came in with a smile taking care of my babies like they were their own ❤ no matter what they might have been personally going through they were there for me and my babies. They supported, encouraged and loved on all of us. I will never forget those amazing nurses. They will forever hold a special place in my heart❤ I admire Tay and all nurses everywhere! It takes a incrediably selfless person to be a nurse and its amazing that you are bringing to light nurses burn out and the help they need!
I relate to this so much as education and nursing shortages, burnout, and seniority issues seem to go hand in hand. Plus all my besties are nurses. So much respect to every nurse out there 💕
Dear Team I want to say how great it is that you are trying to say burnout is not a stigma. I have many friends in SA that are paramedics and suffer from P.T.S.D. the problem is there have been a few that have taken there own lives . wish there was a way to reach out to them too
I love this channel so much, as a fellow non-bedside nurse, happy Nurses Week! Thank you for talking about burnout and bringing awareness to some of the struggles in the nursing world. Keep shining, you two 😊
Nurses are heroes! They do the hardest jobs and get the least praise! Thank you for everything you do. 💝 💛

My cohort graduates the same day and we’re going through the same thing, it’s rough out here lol
Almost everyone in my cohort has a job except maybe 5 of us. That’s because we didn’t apply 60 days before graduation so I guess it our fault. :/
That’s wild, the hospitals in my area are only hiring new grads
Yea cause they’re hounding new grads and experienced nurses to death
Just curious, what state did you graduate in? I’m in SoCal.

Hi Taylor and Taylor
I left bedside after Covid and I’ll never go back. That burnout was unbearable sometimes.
That sound so bad, and sad. I do hope you find a way through, towards a happy/happier life, including a vocation❣️🍀
