- After 9 years as a nurse, I can confidently talk for a whole hour as to why you shouldn't become a nurse. Many of us are singing a tune of "GET OUT" before you even get in.
Don't worry I'll be coming out with the counterpart to this video: Why you should become a nurse but until then sit back and listen to me rant on this profession for a bit.

What on this list is a deal breaker for you? OR what on this list do you feel is the worst part of nursing?
The thing I hate the most is supervising people (cnas and techs), I HATE telling adults how to do their jobs. BUT when you have a great tech or CNA, man it makes the biggest difference, they are a God send.
All the nurses that I worked for in the past, all pray to Jesus and play gospel everyday. I believe they pray everyday to keep their licenses and patients safe 😢
I do the same thing driving home and driving to the job. I listen during too.
I’m not a nurse and I pray to Jesus daily because I worship him and he’s my everything
My compassion fatigued kicked in when I got to see how ungrateful these people really are.
Preach
I get it, you want to be there for people but then you start to realize it’s a reason why they are sick, some people put themselves into a situation to need help then turn around and act entitled to it like something bad just happened to happen to them…nah fam, you did this to yourself, don’t try to use me to make yourself feel better.
@@yourfavnurseb9699
You are so correct!
Try corrections they are truly great full I love it. I very much feel appreciated on the prison
Nclex test is really frustrating, I can't believe I failed again after studying so much🥺🥺😓😭😭
There definitely should be more male nurses in the field. Working with the male species brings such a different aura to the healthcare setting! And they are usually chill and don’t partake in pettiness
Yes I feel like male nurses are either super chill or super crazy/a lil weird lol I’ve also come across some that are playas and it’s so weird esp in nursing homes they are known as Community 🍆!!!
@@yourfavnurseb9699 community 🍆🍆?? I’ve only worked with a couple and they were chill…not sure what they did in their personal life. I prob should’ve asked 🤣🤣 I worked with one that was gay and he was worse than the female nurse but still fun as hell to work with!
@@yourfavnurseb9699100
When I worked in psych the men would try to use me as an armchair psychologist and air out their problems to me
The flirting etc is also out the roof
But yeah I’d rather work where there are some men because working w too many women it’s just to much jealousy and cattiness
the feminine men nurses are just as bad and crazy though 😭😭😭😭
Male nurses are usually lazy
You’re soooooo right about that! 😂 the worse personalities at the job, be the ones who stay the longest. Big facts
Facts
Right????
I just retired after 38 years. God was my strength! Thank God at 60 years old I'm healthy with no back trouble. I went to the Chiropractor weekly. My prayers go out to all nurses! Have a relationship with God, he will help you. I am a witness of this. We have to be a team and help each other in this profession.
Management is concern with charting, CBT and if is a Magnet Facility, they have the nurses' attending committees to agendas that are not improving pt care. I'm glad today nurses are not putting up with it. Even the doctors are waking up and quitting their jobs because of stress not getting adequate sleep. Something needs to change. I respect you for having the courage to discuss what goes on behind the scenes in nursing. You keep thriving! God is taking care of you for stepping to the plate and unmasking what we are dealing in nursing.
Why am I watching this as a new grad RN.. it’s too late I’m invested 😂
Ha, that hilarious. Hey at least you know what to look out for and can work on dodging the BS.
😂😂😂
Hey I def found my dream opportunity with less than a year of experience in travel. Greatness is definitely out there
Congrats, this is just the bedside aspect of nursing, and theres a whole lotoptions as a nurse out there apart from bedside! i found my niche in case management and utilization review and works from home, never been happier without all the bedside drama
Yeah I'm an introvert and neurodivergent, I definitely wouldn't last in this field. I experienced some of this in social work. Too many women, messiness, cattiness, unprofessionalism, office cliques like high school and I finally left. I work in Academia now and love the work culture, most of my colleagues are introverts.
This all of this. I'm a paramedic have been for 14 years. I work in the ER as a tech. I have been on this journey to get my nursing for a while and wondered why I kept finding resistance and blocks. Not going to lie I was kind of hard on myself for years. I still love interacting with patients. It's the politics of the hospital I hate. I've come to accept it wasn't rejection just realignment. I would be miserable being a nurse. Especially being neurodivergent and introverted myself. I can get overly stimulated and not act like myself. I recently decided to switch routes try to go to school to be a radiology tech first as a foundation then branch off to CT and MRI. I'm naturally an independent worker, it's still patient care just not as taxing as nursing, minimal interaction with doctors and nurses. Especially with CT the introverted side of me just wants to hide in the room by myself run the test listen to music keeps me calm 😂
I’m almost cried when you spoke about asking God to watch over the patients and staff. 😔 I’m not a nurse yet, but it sounds like something I would do.
Yes. Most of the time it’s the only thing I can do to detach myself from the stress of the job, it can be so overwhelming but to know that there is a bigger power in control helps me to feel at ease. I know that I’m not alone when I take care of my patients.
Girl, yes, it’s true, I have worked with some hardworking Asians!!!!Some of the best shifts I have had were alongside Asians. That willingness to work as a team was a key factor to the success of the shift.
Can we please talk about how as a tech these nurses run us into the ground 😂😂😂😂😂
Some of them really do, I try to help and just not be a burden, it always feels better when we can all just work together.
Thats y I stopped being a tech! I wanted to have some of them nurses meet me outside. I even switched my major. I was aiming for CRNA. I was like nope!!
@@DiGoldSheepwhat are you going for now? I was thinking PTA .. but I also want respect on my field, so I feel nursing will help with that.. unsure..
1. Love your natural hair
2. Yup had the sassiest preceptor in L & D as a new grad. Got picked on , yelled at, and left the unit over her. Big mistake!
3. Now, 3 1/2 years in the game, built my confidence up. Might go back in L & D. Working med surge with withdrawls and hip fx aint my future. 😂😂😂
* NEW GRADS: NEVER LET THESE “ OLD” NURSES BULLY YOU OUT OF A UNIT! Talk to management and chase your dreams❤
Omg that’s so said, when I did clinicals on a L&D unit the nurses spent the whole shift talking about a new grad nurse. Of course they try to do it it in a nice nasty way like they are concerned but it’s all just pettiness. L&D is no joke, people should add to the stress by being mean. I hope you find your way back to the specialty, we all know how much diversity lacks in that area
@@yourfavnurseb9699So true. Excellent video
Male nurse here!!! I’m the only male at my job! Lol HUGE FAN OF YOURS
I quit a facility because I saw management celebrating nursing week and popping drinks without the nurses
Wow
😂
You are so right! Once you lose compassion it’s over!!
Omg there really is no point in working when that happens, time to switch things up
Chile I'm so tired of juggling all the jobs that come with nursing. I don't mind changing diapers, walking pts to the bathroom, feeding pts, passing water, setting up beds for admissions stripping beds after discharge, transporting all around the hospital, constantly answering the phone from different areas of the hospital, talking to families, being a secretary, calling the kitchen to make sure my pts are getting the food they asked for, babysitting, on top of passing meds, wound dressings, inserting foleys, bladder scans, q4 neuro checks, vitals q 4 and everything else that come with it but IM TIRED AND ITS ONLY BEEN 5 YRS INTO BEDSIDE!!! I have to get out cause I am burnt out. Staffing ratios need to be better cause the workload is exhausting. I just don't know what I wanna do, I did LTC and hospital.😩
yes it's very tiring, I feel like if we had more help and teamwork it would make a WORLD of a difference. I esp felt burnt out in LTC, it's like NO ONE is doing their job anymore, most places are full of agency, management is nowhere to be found and you have to just struggle to even get basic things done and still not really even get the job done properly.
Go to a clinic or call center. Also try Geriatric Psych
I believe it’s a high stress job. For your mental health and peace of mind, don’t do it longer than 20 years.
Touching on the nursing shortage. I think organizations (hospitals, facilities, etc) are deliberately playing with people's licenses out of greed. Just trying to use less nurses to get the same work done. I'm not a nurse yet, but the hospital I work at has pretty good ratios. 1:5/6 for medsurg, 1:3 IMCU, and 1:2 for any ICU. Every now and then, you'll hear about some new hotshot manager trying to up the ratio but it goes nowhere because the union at this hospital not letting that fly.
I don’t believe there’s a nursing shortage
I’m a Covid grad..and lord..I couldn’t ever predict that that would happen when I started my BScN or how downhill healthcare would go..apparently, it’s the worst nursing has been. But like you said..I’m already invested 😂 just looking to make my career the best it can be and looking for multiple jobs to have options
Omg I don’t think there’s enough info out there about covid grads, I’m technically one since I started my RN training in 2021, glad I became a LPN years before that though. But for the ones that had to actually deal with not going to clinicals, having all their classes online etc, oh my.
❤My prayer going into ICU daily is “Lord give me patience with a “C” (not patients)! and mind my mouth!!” Sometimes what you say can be detrimental!!❤
Always remember you’re mostly encountering people on the worst days of their life!!😢❤But I’m same!! Don’t want to look at ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING on my days off!!!😢
❤❤The amount of shifts (12hrs) that I didn’t get to eat, drink enough water or even use the restroom!! SING IT!!! The responsibility vs the pay!😢Its all going to fall on you!!!😢🤬
I'm SOOOO glad you talked about compassion fatigue and the resulting fallout. It's REAL and it's devastating. Thank you so much for your honesty and for your service as a nurse!
Ima pretend I never seen this video as I continue to practice this TEAS test 🤣 🙈
🤣 keep going for what you want, there are a bunch of pros to nursing too
39:00 yess!! Love my Filipina/Filipino nurses!! ❤️💙 love working with them too, they’re the best
Hi I have been a follower of your channel for a very long time. I believe your patients are lucky to have you. I felt lucky that I got to work home-care & I was a CNA. I also worked closely with nurses for a couple years. I had to be honest it’s not something deep down I want to do. Nursing is a very worthwhile career. I just honestly wish people would promote other fields because nursing is not the only game in town. A friend & mentor recommended respiratory therapy & there’s OT, PT, rad tech, dental hygiene etc etc. sometimes I think they also need to split up nursing so nurses don’t feel so overwhelmed. Yes and I have had bad experiences with nurses. I can’t just put my head down & do what I’m told if it’s incongruent with my values. Everything you said in the beginning is true. It’s also a very rigid hierarchy much like the military.
❤Murses are the best!!❤male patients complain/need/call less when they have a male nurse vs a female nurse!! The man up factor!!😂❤
OMG yes, they know they can't act helpless with the men, they have to put on a front with them, I didn't even think of that.
Nobody wants to do bedside!! Most in bedside have a plan to get out. The responsibility is crazy and nowadays people are coming after you personally!! A job that can bankrupt your family for life for one mistake you make while short staffed!! And pray you aren’t criminally prosecuted and end up in jail!!😢😢🙏❤️
why is all the money in bedside nursing though?!?! I gotta stop chasing the paper and just step away and try non bedside nursing....i think
Haha! It's true! The people who causes a lot of trouble are the ones who stays in the job. Sad but true...
Yup, thought I was tripping
@@ladytosha15 It's true... but we must be resilient as well. Especially now, lay offs are everywhere... Not much layoffs in healthcare but people might surge in that industry
Yes, they always keep a job, people are scared to say anything to them.
Yessss I freaking love you B❤ everything you said spot on, especially when you touched on the fact that this is a career and not just a job. Not everyone realize that mind shift is important. You have to make it work for you. So intelligent and articulate 😌
Man…. You are toooo funny. I love watching your channel. I’m not a nurse nor do I want to be but I definitely like listening to your stories/experiences.
You have the cutest nose
lol, thank you.i was only like 2 when my great grandmother died but my mom said she used to pinch/shape my nose all the time when i was a baby…I guess it worked
You do really have a cute button nose. ❤️ Nice personality too!
This was so good! I love the information!
Yes; you have convinced me not into Nursing.
You are so funny...
Thank you for being so real about this.
Thanks for appreciating it, some people think you should only talk about the positive and create an illusion but there's some great parts to nursing and some bad, nothing wrong with being real. I feel like if you know both sides and still want to do it then you know it's really for you.
Everything you mentioned is absolutely true!
after 17 years at the bedside, I clocked out and never look bad. I miss it a bit but the thought of going back gives me anxiety. i used to work 16 hours back-to-back also. I was morning shift (7am-7pm) but worked nights OT. I used to get floated throughout the hospital at one time. I am drained and tired.
Oh no! Are you completely retired from working or are you in a different field?
@@yourfavnurseb9699 retired. I am trying to get into a different field.
Gurl love you.....all of this is on point.
I feel this is in every job
Agreed. Find a specialty work your 3 days and go
Girl, I love watching your videos you are so entertaining.
Thanks so much for watching
Black male nurse here 👋🏿. Im down to talk
You absolutely right as a male nurse RN and good looking it was absolute disaster in every way working in nursing homes . Everything felt like a trap for failure regardless if you liked or disliked. Never again will I work in nursing homes. But I worked ER , Med surg, they all came with certain problems , but nursing homes the worse
lol yall are fresh meat in nursing homes. Some of the men sleep their way through LTC, and some are just used and abused. It’s tough because we do need more of you all to round out the profession.
@@yourfavnurseb9699 the ugliest women ( not trying to be mean) are the most bold and unprofessional daily. Some staff would sit certain residents behind me just to yell and flirt while I would try to chart. They would flirt and carry on. Then would tell me certain residents want me to come see them to flirt ,, as if that’s my job to stop working hard so they can flirt . I say no they actually told me don’t be like that they don’t good looking men often. As if my BSN was given cuz I’m good looking. Then upper management acted like I owed them some penis cuz they gave me the job. On the flip side I found some to be Jealous I was a nurse . And women in this field are big catty high schoolers , some just straight bullies. If I put them in there place and not go along then I’m the problem ! My DON started acting like she in a damn soap opera it just got crazy I had to leave ,, And I feel like if I had sex with some of the CNAs or med techs that could potential be law suit or problem. I had to catch myself a lot. I only did 3 different nursing homes in few months before I realized it not for me, and too much to type all . But can’t forget the racism
When my baby was in the NICU when talking to the nurses most of them burnt out nurses wanting to do something different and they fell in love with NICU
I became a cna because i wanted to be a nurse but after working in a nursing home I've decided to be a xray tech because im too exhausted to think about doing this for 20 years
It’s so true. They call in the “strong” man. They need to call the wardy. But the Wardy is usually struggling to keep up because there’s only a few of them running from ward to ward.
In regards to some black patients not preferring white caregivers…I live in Alabama. There are still many patients whose families were affected by the Tuskegee experiments. So yes for some patients there is a deep level of distrust for caregivers of a certain ethnicity.
Yep, I completely see why people are untrustworthy.
54:27 - Girl I just LOVE your personality 😅🤣 I’m NOT even a nurse (considering it all the time) but I love your REALNESS!
You are gorgeous 💪🏾😍
You've spoke nothing but the truth!
I was just telling my husband this the other day.
You resemble macy gray
Yes, we keep going because there are no other immediate options that match the pros of this career…life is happening along the way like having children and growing our families, so our options end up being somewhat limited.
I do think that nurses can find better job settings or specialties that may fit us better which is a great thing bc in other careers they just don’t have as many options as we do, even just the fact that we can work at anytime of the day really is a bonus.
Yep. Definitely convinced me not to go into that line of work.
Noooo! Lol check out the pros video I have it linked in the comment at the top.
Random Question:
How do you see the dynamic of nursing/healthcare becoming if another pandemic was to happen?
It’s looking like just apply to part-time and ask for overtime myself 😂 cause you not bouto overwork me!
So, so true, sadly Nailed it.
Love this video. 💯 on everything you said.
51 yrs old Asian male was thinking of getting into nursing. Only thinking.
Doesn't everything start with a thought? If you really feel drawn to it, I say do some more research and get started. Even starting off as a PCT will give you a better idea if this field is for you and it won't take that long to do the schooling. Now depending on what you do now it may be a pay cut but like I stated, it's a quick/entry level way to get in the field and see what it's like. Good luck, check out my pros to nursing vid that goes with this one.
Thanks for getting back to me, I was looking into a CNA program as a springboard to getting into a nursing program. Is PCT a better starting point?
I'm a cna I got in trouble because of I did one thing worng
The nursing room are the worst.I like working in Rehab and hospital.
Yeeup.
You’re so Beautiful 💞💞

Hi nurse B, I had a question do you sell you LVN-RN notes?
I dont, email me and I'll send you the ones I have.
yourfavnurseb @ gmail .com
Do the beds not have gates? Why are the patients on the floor?😭 wth
Naw that’s a restraint in most places and people can still get up and out of a bed even with the bed rails up.
See I’m in between nursing and graduate school and I’m hearing people saying don’t do nursing it’s not worth it I’m a medical assistant now and I already have two bachelors but I see the cliques now as a medical assistant.
And it’s called the sunk cost fallacy 😮 baby if it ain’t good for you, let it go. But we still need money and a job so. I’m not a nurse, I’m in the beauty industry
I just looked that up, I guess it doesn’t make sense just to old on to something just because of the time you put in if you are still going to be unhappy. That’s what people do when they stay in marriages just bc they’ve been together for too long!!
Girl u are a whole year TOO LATE 😭😭😭😭😭 WHYYYYYY 😫😫😫🙌🙌🙌
HA! Those first few years are ROUGH!!!! But the beauty of it all is that you really can find what fits you in nursing...or at least that's what they say. But seriously, there are so many job settings and specialties in nursing that you can fall in love with it all over again....at least that's what I'm hoping for!!!
I should become a nurse just so i can scoff at $35/hr 😅
LOL, when you've been doing it for 9+ years that amount really does seem low. But it really isn't something to scoff at in most fields.
But post COVID you just know that these facilities can and will pay a lot more, so you better go for it.
CLICKS IN NURSING OMG
👋😅
😅😅
Why did you get in the field to talk down on the field? Nursing is not for everyone. As a RN please learn some tact and professionalism and be the change you wish to see in the world.
Are you serious?
It’s not a challenge to do your job as a RN if you are competent and continuously seek to learn and educate yourself. Talking negative about the field is not the way to go. If you don’t like it, leave the field and do something else. It’s simple. Your words are discouraging to future RN’s. You still have a CNA/LPN mentality; you are a RN now, toughen up.
What the hell is a “CNA/LPN” mentality?!
@@reddrobynne5108 the exact way you just expressed your comment with “what the hell.” It is encompassed by low emotional intelligence and lack of advanced knowledge.
Nah, this career is still hard. Nothing wrong with exposing the hardships of nursing. And if someone doesn't like it, they shouldn't leave they should try to change the field so that less people feel this way cause she is not the only one
@@brightlight4212 well who said that it would be easy, or that it’s supposed to be easy?
U should get braces
Yes, we keep going because there are no other immediate options that match the pros of this career…life is happening along the way like having children and growing our families, so our options end up being somewhat limited
