    I knew since nursing school that bedside nursing was not for me. I am a psych nurse for an organization and love it. I get really upset because I get many comments from other nurses and non-nurses saying psych nursing is not real nursing. Just because I am not at the bedside does not make me any less a nurse!

    I was a psych nurse for a year and found that it was not for me. I never wanted to do bedside nursing, so after leaving psych I did phone triage for a primary care company for a little while. I now do utilization management and I have the golden schedule. M-F, 8a-4:30p, no weekends or holidays, quarterly bonuses. Sometimes I get down on myself for not being a "real" nurse but I have the schedule i always wanted and I'm mentally in a much better place than I was working in psych or doing clinicals in the hospital!

      Yes! I love doing peds home health :) It is so gratifying to build a relationship with the munchkins, babies, and kiddos as well as their families. You get to witness their progress developmentally and medically over time. Helping to wean off of vents and g-tube feeds is difficult, but so gratifying to help facilitate. Some of the patients are quite high acuity, and stable enough to be at home is not really stable so much as it is "stable". Many peds home health patients are very medically fragile and clinically complicated. It is definitely a different level of self-reliance working nights in this specialty, but one that I love more than anything else.

    • @tribaldiva88
      @tribaldiva88 Год назад

      @@fdpc517 Not sure if you are still considering it, but I would definitely recommend applying to peds home health agencies. As long as they are willing to train you, and provide you with a good preceptor it's definitely worth considering. The pace of learning is not quite as overwhelming for a new/new-ish grad as a hospital setting. You learn each patient's routine, medical history, care, and baseline 1:1, which allows you to build a stronger holistic framework for understanding all aspects of your patient's care.

    Love your videos Blake!! You are spot on, and as a nurse for over 30 years, and you make me laugh out loud even after all this time. The one thing we have as nurses is the ability to make each other laugh!!
    Thanks for showing all the opportunities out there. I hope the nurses who are starting out really think about the most important member of the team- the patient- as I am reading a lot of comments on how much nursing "sucks, etc?? There are a lot of opportunities, but before you jet off to work at a resort, or any other nursing option, take the time to really learn the profession, and how to BE a nurse. With COVID 19, my mantra of "everything begins with Med/Surg bedside nursing", was shown to be accurate in spades!!! Some of the craziest, beast-mode, like being at a war front, terrific nursing ever seen at my, and other hospitals!!!
    In the pause, I encouraged nurses who had never seen or done the things they had to do, to be proud, and to take the experience for what it is. Now the confidence level and appreciation for the job is palpable, even on tough nights. Nothing bothers or throws them off kilter now!! Kudos to all nurses out there and be safe!! No matter what type of nursing you decide to do, remember that you represent ALL of us. Corny, maybe, but true.

    Love this, Blake. But I’m a Home health RN... I definitely don’t make my own hours and there is definitely not stopping between patients for a mandatory lunch break let alone a starbucks lol. I think things always seem a bit different then they are in reality. I suppose there are those that work per diem and make up their own hours. But not most of us. The thing to know about Home Health for those interested in it is to know you are out there on your own with your license flying in the wind so you should have a lot of varied experience because you see everything from new stomas to educate on, diabetics new to insulin, wounds of every kind you can imagine from wound vacs to profore leg wraps. We do IV maintenance and dressing changes/ foley care / gtube instruction/ suture removal and post op incision check from CABGs and +++. And the pt doesn’t usually have a hospital or electric bed so we are bending over beds and finding places on the ground to sit while we do leg wraps or wound care because sometime you go to a home and they literally don’t have a chair for you. The nice homes with AC in the summer are awesome, but more often than not you can be driving down a street of beautiful homes and the one we end up at is the broken down home with no AC, no parking close by and we are shlepping our equipment and supplies to get there. And the charting in a Home health environment has different regulations than other kinds of nursing since medicare guidelines govern our services. But if you’re a person you loves to be out and something different but likes to form relationships with your patients because they are usually on service a while... and you have a strong back lol, it’s an awesome job!

      I worked as an agency nurse for a while and one of my many jobs was vacation relief one summer at a home health agency. I mean to tell you - these folks work hard! And often in very poor conditions. You have to get started very early because you will have a list of diabetics to get to and give morning insulin, and make certain they have something to eat. Then you'll start on your patient list for the day. You dictate your nurses notes as you drive between patients. It was exhausting and very long days. I would get home quite late. I would like to say that I really enjoyed working for the nursing agency. I was open to try anything so I did a lot of very interesting jobs : Plasma bank, IV team, every hospital unit from ER to psych to burn unit - I did them all because I was a certified critical care nurse. I think my favorite was recovery room.

I've been a geriatric nurse for THIRTY five years. I've tried other things, but this is what I love. We have no backup specialists. We are psych/urology/trauma/hospice/med-surg/respiratory all in one. And these days, we've been getting admits straight from ICU. Anywhere from 17 to 50 patients/residents. And in some places I've been the ONLY nurse in the whole building. But for those who want long-term relationships with residents and families, this is it.

    You forgot Telehealth nurses who answer for doctor's offices after hours and provide medical advice. They work in a call center and now they could be working from home. They provide medical advice to patients and can page out the doctors as needed, even advising patients to go to the ER if their condition is serious enough. I think some insurance companies may offer a nurse advice line for their members also where they provide medical advice and educate patients on their chronic conditions and how to manage them. I even heard an ad for I think it was a heating and air company promoting a nurse advice line for children that parents could call in for medical advice for their children.

      I always tell people to work as a CNA in a hospital for at least 6 months when they ask me about becoming an RN. It gives you some idea of what you are about to go through as a nurse, especially if you have never worked in health care. It is rough and not for everyone. What do you dislike about bedside nursing? The answers will be a good place to start to let you know if you want to stay in nursing or get out. It is a very stressful job, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Your coworkers may be able to help you think of some other areas that you'd like better if you think you want to stay. You could start looking for other opportunities in your hospital system that are not as labor intensive as bedside nursing such as endoscopy or outpatient surgery. of Best of luck to you!

    I'm a community health nurse. I work for our county in a primary care setting. We typically work with underserved populations, and our patients face a lot of challenges. It is a rewarding job, but also frustrating. 70% of our patients are smokers, compared to around 16% of the general population. Our patients often struggle to just make it to their appointments, so when they are there, we really want to maximize this time. We have team-based care, and are part of a Coordinated-Care-Organization. I love my coworkers, and I have the best hopes for my patients. After two years I figured out that bedside care was not for me, but I am happy to be making a difference in the lives of my patients in my home county.
