    Your experience on medsurg is so accurate...as a medsurg nurse, it really is nonstop!! Learning how to document as you go is imperative but it's very hard when someone constantly needs you. And yes, the walky-talky patients who are mostly independent always get the least attention & I feel bad about that. It's like well...the other patients need a lot more care so I have to budget my time as best as I can. It sucks but that's how it goes.
    Good luck with your semester! :)

      I feel like twelve years a slave on my hematology/just another name for med-surg floor. On-the-go for the whole 12 hours. IV antibiotics try to take me out daily; hang one, got another one due soon after (have started y-siting them if compatible). Walkie-talkie gets a "Hey, you okay?" Kool, bye....

    i really wanted to ask what your thoughts are on the extreme competitiveness in nursing in the United States. I remember for us, our school required students to be matriculated 1 year in their institution to apply to the nursing program, which had 50-75 seats, opened for applications once a year......and every year they would add prereqs like microbiology, organic chemistry, genetics to make it even MORE competitive!! I mean it isn't easy for students to become a nurse in the united states...theres the NLN's, GPAS and we are always saying "theres a MASSIVE shortage in nursing."and then hospitals go and hire nurses, foreign nurses, from the philippines into the work force....now, is this fair to students in the US? Philippines is an exporting country...and the country put a great deal of effort into exporting their nurses to other countries so that they can bring back BILLIONS into their country in return....This happened during the WW2, post korean war...most of south korea's economic boom is significantly contributed to the exportation of their nurses to countries like Germany and the US; nurses were in high demand.. I don't know what to think of this...really....if our system is going to hire outside nurses .,,,,why make the program so rigorous to get into and why are there so FEW programs here in the United States...? ....I just do not like the odds our prospective American nurses need to face to obtain their licenses and registrations..

    I did Med Surg most of my 20 year career. I chose it right out nursing school (LPN to start and then later as RN) because I knew it would be my trial by fire to get me where I needed to be with my skills. I later did travel nursing and worked at some larger hospitals and where I was a House Float and also did International Cardiology but Med Surg is by far the hardest on the mind and body. Maybe that’s why I’m no longer able to work at all anymore from arthritis and Fibromyalgia (DDD as well). It’s no joke. You literally are supposed to be in 9 places at one with very debilitated people needing these preps for tests that would make me want to walk out. Enemas till clear where that’s all I did all night and with my NA and the young man was still full of poop! It never stopped! We were about ready to pull our hair out, and that was just one of my 7 patients for the 12 hour night shift. I could go on forever.

    Always enjoy the vlogs! You wear so many hats it’s refreshing to hear how you balance your time and how hard that can be. You definitely hit the nail on the head when you said, “Working on med-surg, you can’t win.” No truer words have been spoken😂 and trying to chart all that you do is such a challenge sometimes.

      Hey Cam, how are you? I started in med surg and honestly I found it to be a great foundation. Things today are a lot different though, med surg is harder because patients are sicker.
      Be sure to have professional goals and have a plan for your career. Focus on having a 1,3 & 5 year goal.
