You know you’re burned out when “What are they gonna do, fire me?” Become part of your daily thought process at work
at my job, our mantra was 'we aren't worried about being fired...slaves have to be sold'.
@Alexandria I get defiant when management decides to treat me like a child instead of an adult in a partnership. Work with me and make reasonable changes? Cool. Try to talk down to me and tell me what to do, micromanage? Yeah no you can miss me with that, and now I no longer respect you
I don’t have a job since I’m currently in school but this is my everyday thought, I’m just like “What are they gonna do, give me a lunch detention?” So much kids in my school get lunch detention on purpose cause they’ll like the room it’s in 😭
Oh I used to say that so often!!
When I was married, I didn't need a job and only got one because I was getting restless at home (I'm an extrovert). When they got nasty with me, I said "you literally need me more than I need you". I miss the freedom of knowing I could quit at the drop of a hat if I was mistreated. Luckily I work at a Starbucks with an awesome crew and wonderful manager now.
The "when did someone pee on me" is a common question in a Vet Clinic and as a Foster Parent.
I can confirm the vet clinic part😂
Just as a parent to infants especially lmao when you're in a hurry and put the diaper on to loose.... Leaks will happen lmfao
Veterinarian or veteran?
@@cherylpattersonreeves9827 veterinarian
And in the psych ward.
People who don't do care or work in a hospital don't know how true this is.
Oh… I know and that’s why I’m not in healthcare.
My mom is a nurse, has been since I was little, and boy does she have a _lot_ of stories 😂
@@MsAubrey I had to find out the hard way
I appreciate it at least. :)
Nebulizing Ativan in the air vent is a really good idea!
“ what are they gonna do, fire me? They don’t have enough staff.”
Is something I LEGIT have heard my parents say when talking about their jobs 😭😭
I’ve said that about my job they eventually did fire me for bs and there favorite worker probably wanted it as I wouldn’t do what she wanted but hey serving jobs area dime a dozen
I thought that too. Then my company fired 10% of staff cause they were 100 million dollars over what was budgeted for storms this year. Lost 40% of their surplus in 4 years. So even if they need you, you are still expendable. It's Kay though. I'm not terribly mad at all.
My friend said this as a teacher. She worked with so many snobby rich kids so when she disciplined them their parents would get their panties all in a twist but she would stand her ground. Parents would then go crying and complaining to her director but she would defend her teaching style which worked very well and would not apologize when she did nothing wrong. I would say to her “aren’t you afraid of getting in trouble?” She would say “I’m the only one here with the skills to work with the behavioural kids and the rich snobby brats. Plus my children are advancing quite quickly and we are heavily short staffed so what are they gonna do fire me?” Lol she’s an awesome 5’2 little firecracker 🧨 💥 she left teaching to care for her sick sister but oh my gosh the kids LOVED her and when she goes to visit her old coworkers at the school her director asks when she’s coming back! 🥰🥰
Edit for spelling.
I say that at my work, we are so under staff. Lol my boss finds it hilarious that I say that.
We all said it. It was so true though. I once had to handle a really rough situation that had taken nearly the entire shift and wed done everything to handle the situation according to policy and procedures. Finally just said "whatre they gonna do, fire me? Im the best theyve got on this shift rn!" And solved the situation in 10 mins. Next shift came in, saw the report i made and just thanked me before telling me to leave before i got asked to do overtime or anything cause id earned the evening off. Thanks guys.
I felt this. I'm on 6 days with one day off, then at it again. These are 12-16 hour shifts, in a nursing home. I walked out the other day because I got blamed for something that wasn't my fault. My boss was literally yelling at me. So, I walked out. However, we're so understaffed I felt bad. So I came back in, and explained to her that I don't care anymore. But, I do care about most of my coworkers, except the one who can't clean up after herself, and blames me for her messes. In fact I started taking pictures, and showing my boss that her favorite employee is a damn liar. Ever since then, she's been very nice to me. The liar is mad because she was caught, and she actually has to do her job now. I don't play!!
At my work we took pictures of people not doing their own work then the boss said no more pictures but did absolutely nothing about the people not doing their work! Ugh!!
Good on you!! I appreciate people like you because in those places the staff many are mean or negl3ctful to the patients but you seem like you care.
Is long term care work crazy where you work too
Mother's with 3 or 4 kids could definitely relate to all this.. being on call all day with piss and poo all over..no days off..
if higher ups get mad at me im gonna start playing dumb like they do then. i did more than plenty my part. make sure ur buddies do too. every time i hear a general warning for everyone: 😒. i mean i got ppl threatening me still working w/ me but ok. also lol @ that group chat thing bc at 1st im not gonna even lie. i thought it was just docial media where co workers pretty much gossip & i was like the hell. no i dont want to be a part of that
no 1 bothered to explain that or just said im not in it either. till it popped up on my phone 1 day & oh. then this 1 co worker overcompensating, trying to stir it up w/ me, gas lighting in her insecurity was all like see, ure in the vip. like what vip. being the damn compassionate person i am, i had to console her precious ego like c? its nothing like that. its just strictly work related ish. while shes just says every body this & that about u. & its like ok. ill make sure to confront everyone about it & tell em it all started w/ u. 😒 ...if she wants to go that route. shes so the extra i know everything, therefore, not only will i get free $, i wont ever hafta work. bc of her conditions & what not. shes so entirely extraly too damn much 'specially special
also that i use her nec 🤷🏻♀️ at least she can talk about something
.
Without a base, without a trace.
Yep. Oh the hidden gems I found while working in proctology. 😅
@@caravij5540 I had butt surgery at 22. I wish I had a fun story line about how I slipped and fell on my bathroom snow globe. But it was just no fiber for a long weekend and bad butt genes. I eat a lot of salad now.
Until you need surgery to remove it.. 😬
@@killerbunny7206 This is by far the funniest comment I’ve read under these videos 😂😂
OMFG I literally lmao
It's amazing how well they can pay when they are desperate...if only they would pay that well all the time maybe they wouldn't have the staffing issues they have
Exactly
They should be paid more. But you know what will happen. The patient will have to pay more too. Medical bills too expensive already. 😅
@@JasonB808 Hospitals actually charge you thousands when the cost is not even 10 percent of that because insuranced will pay anyway up to a certain amount of money. It is overpriced so is insulin. Could be sold for some euros but in the USA nope just look at the cost. It is the greedy pharmacy companies. Always businessman taking most profit into their pockets.
Cut the CEO's and suites behind the desk salaries, they are useless,
they don't care about patients they only care about profits.
@@drhuko TRUE STORY!! They also don't care about their staff working safely with patients/residents
"Tell them I can't come in tomorrow, I died-" the best line ever
I have wanted to do that so many times in retail and child care. 😂
@feraltaco4783 i babysit so i feel the same sometimes. But i wont compare it to any of the stuff i seen lol
@@feraltaco4783 I have. I was on the phone with them at the time. "I'm sorry I can't come in, I died"
@@youdontseeme2054 at least with children they usually don't know any better. Adults should.
@@uselesscause3178 my brother did that when a bill collector called for me. I had no idea he was going to do it. To be fair he was a fifteen year old guy and thought it was hilarious. 🤣 🤣 🤣
“IT. NEEDS. A. BASE!!!!” Damn, that came from the deep pits of his soul 😳. Thank you, and my condolences to all y’all that work in medicine, and have to deal with the dumbassery of the masses on a daily basis. I commend you.
Couldn't have said it better myself, they are a different breed of amazing. ❤❤❤❤
Nebulizing Ativan through the vents is straight up genius
Hospitals, jails, nursing homes, 😂😂😂😂 just kidding people
I begged for this when i worked retail pharmacy
HAH! I work in a mental health hospital night shift and have voiced my dream of that. And Haldol blow darts
Do it! Dooooo it!
“What are they gonna do fire me? They don’t have enough staff” that line tho 😵💫
Me and my coworkers on a nearly daily basis. 😂
All medical staff "me" say this a billion times a day.
Every medical staff everywhere
And we can thank the lack of universal Healthcare that forces people who can't afford insurance to take up beds in the ER for non-emergencies ❤✨️
Says no healthcare professionals ever ever 😂😂😂😂!!!
The "they can't fire me, the don't have enough staff" is so goddamn true
That is the reason I got away with so much at one of my last jobs. By the time I left, I was doing everything but payroll and hiring. The store owner/manager came in and sat on his ass. I walked in to get my check one day… there was a line of people waiting for service (this was an ice cream shop) and he was watching Netflix. He tried to bully me into working become he didn’t want to. I ignored him and walked out with my check. Most of those customers came back over the next few days and most asked why I didn’t help them when I was there. I told them it was my day off and I was literally just there for my check… and no my boss was not going to fire me. My then boyfriend went into the store after I quit and the owner had hired three people who had NO idea what they were doing and the store looked like shit.
If I got a half a cent for every time I said that, I’d be RICH! 😂
@@wolflinggon5664 so your story is about something totally unrelated where even if they had enough staff they shouldn't fire you because it was your day off? Everything ok sweetie? Hope you felt better after venting out.
@@raizan5946mental issues
I say that EVERY day!!😂
This series is becoming more unhinged with every instalment😂
Reality keeps trying to bleed through.
I was about to say it’s getting more realistic… 😅
Yep. True to healthcare life. The longer you work, the more feasible the acts once said jokingly become wishes then cries for help (wish I had a dollar for everytime I said the Ativan idea longing to finally hear someone say, 'Okaaay..."
Definitely becoming realistically unhinged …Healthcare sucks. It can really run ya ragged in every aspect . Love that he’s still doing his YT videos.
I hope he’s taking care of himself but then again it’s healthcare 🤦 🤷
@@rebeccarasmussen6404 He quit working in Healthcare when his social media presence grew large enough to sustain him and now he does stand up comedy and dabbles in entrepreneurship, starting his own hospital sock line and selling merchandise from his socials. 😊
Believe it or not, that triple pay with a bonus did take legit time to consider. I work at a hospital and have seen call outs for extra staff with the promise of triple pay get zero response. When your off the clock that time is gold
Yeah when youve been at it long enough if you dont have something you need to put the money towards it doesnt raise an eyebrow lmao, you can always get more money but you can never get more time
@@katierasburn9571agree 100%. Your heath both mental and physical is worth more than triple pay plus bonus.
At this point, if you aren't a burned out Healthcare worker then you aren't a Healthcare worker.
Exactly
And that's terrible for patients. 12 hour shifts are insane and then we wonder why malpractice ins is so high when caretakers don't take care of themselves.
I'm not a burned out healthcare worker. I got out 😂
Yep very true statement .
You still are technically, it's just you don't have the "care" part anymore-
At this point, I’m trying to convince my boss to install a time clock that dispenses a Xanax everytime I clock in….
😆👌🏻
If this had been instituted, I Never would have retired!
Sort of like Pez dispensers for adults.
@@Panda72021 YES!!
And that's why people OD
“What are they gonna do? Fire me? They don’t have enough staff..” I feel this so hard
Said this too
When you are training a new employee, and you are trying so hard not to get them discouraged from the very beginning.
But then someone asks you to do something ridiculous.... And you loudly whisper, "What are they gonna do? fire me? I wanna see 'em try."
I say this at least once a week
Been there.
Also, that moment when you drive up to work and want to cry because the place didn't burn down in the middle of the night. 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@mckenna8663 never had a job where I wasn't an expendable peon but I have often fantasized about what it would be like to go full Office Space at work. 🤣
Felt "WHERE IS DAY SHIFT" down to the marrow in my bones!!! 😂😂😂
Amen
Have said this so many times
WELCOME TO FNAF, SIR!
Yes 😖
I work nights as well. It’s brutal.
"WHERE IS DAY SHIFT?" 🤣
That felt so real.
hurrr somexs... bc y not. im a single mom, sigh
not at the lonely part
at the im not getting any younger part bc damn my feet hurt. when i a ctually wanted 1st vs ummm can u come in or nah
hope it ain't snowing!
My grandmother is very ill in the hospital right now and oddly enough this video helped me a lot.
How is your grandmother now?
Sending heart felt healing & good wishes to you , your grandmother and your family 🌺✨
Hope everything’s fine!! God bless
"Will people please just use a proper d1ldo"
"IT NEEDS A BASE"
I CANT BREATHE help I wanna meet Steve but not in the ER-
That's di1do thing is such a real problem, apparently. Seems every nurse has one of those stories.
and also not made of glass. We've all seen what happens then.
@@Killbayneno not all of us. I know what your talking about but as the ones who had to see it DO NOT PUT THAT ON OTHERS and realize that we have been curse with early internet, and that curse should end with us
What's a "d1ldo"? Why's there 1 in spelling?
@@shovanabajracharya RUclips likes to censor comments with certain words in them.
When I ended up in the hospital as a kid after being run over by a car (she thought I was a speed bump!!), I have to say it was the nurses who kept me sane. I had passed out from the shock and didn't have a heart rate in the ambulance and nearly passed out again from a panic attack, but 2 absolutely wonderful nurses calmly talked me through it and even managed to put in the IV without me noticing when they realised I was deathly afraid of needles. Plus the male nurse kept checking on me between rounds and made sure I always had a nice pair of those soft hospital socks. The other nurse also held my hand while they popped my knee back in place even though she probably had other patients.
13 years later I'm still eternally grateful to Nurses Griffin and Amina ❤️
Wow, who runs over a kid? That must have been very scary. Thank God for the awesome medical staff.
@@roxcyn Good question, it was in a school zone too. Even after I went down, she still kept going even though I had banged on the hood. It wasn't until another adult waved and banged on the car before she stopped and reversed back over my leg 🙄
I'm so grateful for the medical staff, they were all so amazing despite it being a busy day in the ER.
@@EsiNotEssie😯 Driver licenses should be way stricter...
who the hell thought you were a speed bump-

*Intensely staring at the patient trying to figure out what's wrong*
"Oh he died"
Oh oh oh right oh okay 💀🤣
When the dead ones become your favorites because they give you th peace and quiet
@@PandaMonium92827 You just said the Q word...
Person: 💀
Doctor: 😌
This is a service that gives voice to people that deserve higher wages and way more respect.
Felt that "Tell them I can't come in tomorrow, I died" in my soul. We've all been there.
Also the "When did someone pee on me." Not a fun question to ask yourself.
My mom has been a nurse for about 18 years and her stories are why I decided to pursue radiology instead of nursing 😂 I’ve got a lot of respect for her and other nurses for their jobs, y’all don’t get enough credit. Thank you for taking care of everyone you encounter, don’t forget to take care of yourself too 💗
I’d go into radiology but after winning my battle with cancer- no, people are dangerously close in sh¡tting the bed. I say this with experience. 😂
I do MRI and still deal with poop....
@@dracon501 ugh, I’m sorry 😢
Excellent advice and comment. Thank you
My mom's horror stories are why I didn't become an echo tech. Lol. No ma'am. I'm good.
My life now consists of asking what the hell was night shift doing this guy's dead and no one knew
in that clip, the I'm guessing the patient had a b@ner. Its called 'death erection'. idk if that's what happened but based on context, it makes sense why the doc was confused.
it happens, especially if they didn't have h on any monitors
Tall tale (not sure if true, cause it happened way before me).
The morgue was on the lower level. A code happen, the transporter just sort of put their ride to the side (you know how the hall ways near central supply is a mess). Well they lost the patient.
Sure that person went home and thought
"🤔 there was something I forgot to do at work?"
If there are 4 Wards and 2 staff .....🤔
”If I ask to get fired do I still get unemployment” hello customer service 😂😭
Coordinator here and about 80% of this is valid for social work too 😂
What doesn't apply? I'm curious where the overlap ends.
Is "when did someone pee on me?" part of the overlap?
When a patient comes up to you gripping their chest,
"Nope nope nononono, not staying for overtime."
I work in the lab at a hospital. I run all the blood tests. But one day a coworker called off stating they had a horrible blood infection and was almost on their deathbed. But came in for her shift the very next day like nothing was ever said. But we could have checked her blood for her and told her what kind of infection it was. But being she cured herself in 24 hours I think she is good
"blood infection" "on their death bed".😂😂😂
She probably needed a well deserved day off lol
"I want an enema just so I can lay down!!"!!
OMG that is the greatest thing I've heard in a long time!!!
Steveio constantly making me afraid for my life to ever go into the medical industry and also making me wake up every day thinking “…yeah ok maybe it has its perks”
Nebulizing ativan through the air vents made me spit my tea out, I remember some 3-11’s and 11-7’s where that would come in handy ! Lolol
@@maryannsarkady7950 Ativan in the air vents is an awesome idea lol
yes it does, but there are very few professions that are any more stressful than being in healthcare
we once suggested a prozac salt lick in the break room
@@teresastabler could you tell me what it is please.?
The “finally left the building AINT nothing will send me back” line at the end 😂
"Tell her I can't come in tomorrow. I died".😂😂😂
"oh they're paying triple? with a bonus??"
.......
"Fine i'll come in, but don't expect me to be sober"
“Oh he’s dead” just about killed me. I work in place with a lot of old people, and sometimes they fall asleep in chairs or on couches. I have definitely stopped and waited for them to snore or breathe or something just in case. You never know…
i worked in s nursing home. thought one of my patients was dead. I ran down the hall and drug one of the other aides back to the room and made her check. she was an RN but was waiting to take her boards. I didn't wanna get the nurse on duty in case I was wrong and he wasn't dead...lol!
@@gonzo3954 was he dead though?? The suspense is killing me!
@@lilmm7258they said he wasn’t at the end
YES! I used to work nursing homes as well and you see them laying to the side in their chairs and you walk up thinking “please breathe!”
One time I didn’t see a patient breathing and I hurried over to check their pulse. (It was strong. ) I woke them doing so, so I said “Do you want me to lay you down for a nap, darlin’?”
Well, at least they found him before rigor mortis set in.

Healthcare workers are so under appreciated. They really are super heroes in plain clothes 🙏
To everyone that’s does or ever has worked in the healthcare industry… THANK YOU! I couldn’t do it. Nope.
I helped my neighbor take care of her 96 year old mother towards the end. Yes, that means lifting, changing, bathing (sponge bath), dealing with fecal matter and urine… all that, I could deal with because she was like a grandma to me. I couldn’t do all that for a stranger. Nope.
I couldn’t either!! I couldn’t imagine working in labor and delivery. It’s too much blood It looks like a crime scene.
You have lead me to respect my grandmother who worked as a ER assistant for 40 years to a great degree.
My mom worked ER for years and videos like this make me respect and fear what she had to live with. Also while I am morbidly curious how many of those "they got what stuck where?" She has encountered I chose to remain ignorant of it.
"When did someone pee on me." Working in Healthcare is no joke.
I once asked, " why am I wet?" Everyone told me not to question it, just move on
When??! He didn't even notice!
@@nkoyondiokho4027
Trust me. If you haven't ever worked in healthcare, you would probably find it difficult to grasp.
Which obviously isn't your fault.
Standing at the bus stop, wondering why two girls are staring at my shoes.
They were covered in blood.
"When did someone pee on me?" Yesterday...it was yesterday 😑
@gailboreham2431 Had this happen to me once. In vet-med.
Nebulizing Ativan through the vents.... Love it!!!
And that's how I ended up with three unit phones at home. 🤣
I have totally taken phones and pagers home when I was in the garage close to my car and was like I'll bring it back when I come back!
I had a coworker (restaurant host/to-go specialist) who came in to work one day with like 6 walkies to return. He said the rest were still in his car. 😂
I just leave it in my work backpack cause it'll end up going back with me that way lol
Its the keys you have to worry about. 😭😭😭
Back in the days before Pyxis, I worked at community hospital in West Philadelphia. RNs and LPNs who give narcotics will remember there was a safe or locked drawer for controlled substances, counted at change of every shift with only one set of keys. If you absentmindedly took the keys home (or wherever) you HAD TO bring them back IMMEDIATELY. As soon as you discovered them. Did not matter what time, where you were, your kids are all in bed... No you may NOT just bring them back when you report back for your next shift.If you are a young, rather new Nurse after a shift at your first job in Philadelphia , Bring the Narc Keys Back to the Hospital RIGHT NOW. Because yeah, I took the keys to BALTIMORE.
We used to look at each other and say, " all this and a paycheck, too!" I nearly choked laughing with the Ativan being nebulized.
We ask each other, "Does s***show have a hyphen?"
😂😂😂😂😂@@theresas740
ICU nurse here - this is scary accurate 😆. I’ve been peed on, propositioned, proposed to, had an almost full unit of blood drench me when the blood tubing pulled out of the bag during a transfer….and oh so much, much more.
At least it was 'clean' blood. I was in an ER CODE and an NG hooked up to suction wrong drenched my entire leg. I was bagging and couldn't immediately go change. We had very little history on the patient but apparently he didn't have any bad cooties.
@@bcayeOh Hell no
@@AutismAunnie , yeah. And the house supervisor stood there knowing the situation and not doing anything until my coworker came back with a vent, saw what had happened and took over for me. Then I walked over to her and asked to get a pair of scrub pants from OR, she's like "In a minute."
I was a traveler, so I quietly said " The agency lawyers will have a great time with you."
I was just gunna say, at least it was “clean” blood. Sucks for the likely trashed scrubs….but could be sooo much worse. When I was still a student, watching my 1st surgery, legit a canister exploded in the OR full of drainage from a MASSIVE abdominal cyst (looked like she was pregnant with triplets before they drained) the scrub nurse was drenched down her side! Surgeon was PISSED!! Rough!! I felt so bad for her.
The things patients never know hey🤔
Wait wait back up - did you say proposed to??
" I want an enema just so I can lay down" 😂😂😂 lol this had me dying
Went home last Friday, ALL THE WAY HOME, had the hospital phone in my pocket😅 ALLLL THE WAY BACK TO WORK BEFORE I CAN START MY WEEKEND, FML
So relatable... I work in EMS and heres some 100% genuine sentences I've said at work
"Can you smell me to make sure I don't have stoma s**t on me?"
"I'd rather s**t in my hands and clap than do overtime"
"No I'm not going to shove a finger up there to get it out"
"Well his heads about 100ft down the tracks, so I'd definitely day he's dead. Want to get coffee?"
Wait someone looked at a decapitated corpse and asked if they were still alive.....And I thought I was dumb.
Dear god... Its the same here in germany. Medical staff of the world unite 🤣
So true!!
How do you say
"Will people *please* just use a proper dildo.. IT NEEDS A BASE!"
In German??
@@Mila808g 🤣 "Der Dildo braucht einen Ständer!" I cant believe how many ppl are so stupid. My favorite last year was a guy who had a carrot in his rectum and said he had been sick all day but needed to eat. So he used the other end....
Human stupidity is a universal trait 😆
France too hahah
This is why I am always nice to any nurse or other medical staff who deals with me, they have enough on their plate without me being difficult.
We appreciate you. Truly.
Seriously, thank you.
Same here.
everyone has a lot on their plate. everyone should try to be kind. esp if they're your ill patients
Me too. Shoot if something non life threatening happens to me I point blank tell the staff 'its not your fault. It's very under staffed. It's administration fault! ". They agree. We all know those CEOs don't help on the floors
OMG. Antivan in the air vents sounds amazing.
"What are they gonna do,fore me? They dont have enough staff." 😂so dang true.
I love that "um....,... oh hes dead" made me laugh.
Radiates, "what? I can't answer you, if i dont know whats going on" energy
“Have we tried nebulizing Ativan through the air vents?”
As someone who’s been clean from benzos for 2 years this is my favorite one 😂
I like Ativan HFA,
I miss Ativan. :(
I was cracking up at that
yeah but it could work
Khaotictrash: congrats on 2 years clean from benzos they are stunningly difficult to defeat. Every blessing, mad respect and may the Universe give you all the strength/power/love/resolve you need to stay clean.
As someone who visited the ER twice (and was hospitalized on the 2nd trip) very recently, can say my nurses were all wonderful. I was only there for a day, but tried to say thank you for everything and not be a bother unless I really needed something. These are the people who are stepping up and helping those in need. I don't see why anyone would be rude, or worse, to them.
I'm the same way. I hear at times on a non ICU floor people being nasty. The staff loved having you. They tell me that often. Lol they asked me "please ring your buzzer! Make things up! You're so nice ". Lol
"They don't have enough staff to fire me" relatable.
Mad respect and appreciation to hospital staff.
I have said most of these things over the years! I worked 21 straight days. I worked 12 hour shifts, but 3 we're 20 hours long. Near the end of day 21, my boss very sheepishly came in and asked me to work that weekend. I said "Hell NO!" I would have worked 31 straight days of I had because I had to work a bunch of days afterwards. I told him he could do it!
Rough my record is only 9 days and I was out of commission for like 2 days.
That amount of work is demonic 💀
@@nicolemcnichols3172it was a small hospital
Good for you!!!
Say “No!” to unappreciative managers.
The very fact that he had the unmitigated audacity to formulate and express that question to you, knowing full well that you’d just clocked 21 consecutive days is heinous!!! Isn’t that Employee ABUSE illegal somewhere?! It’s a crying shame! Proof positive that they’ll use up every last drop of your humanity then leave your body in a heap, step over you and keep it moving…Don’t be a martyr!
The life you save might be your own!😢😮
I’ve said so many of these! I always used to say we needed aerial spraying of Valium - these people needed to calm down a lot! I also said “what are they going to do - fire me?” all the time!! Of course, they never did. When I finally quit to go back to University, they hired 4 people to take my shifts! Apparently I was doing the work of 4 people! I should have been paid accordingly!!
Aerosolized Ativan or Valium need to be a thing. We need one setup for the patient rooms and a lower dose infuser at the nurses station 😂
Air vent Ativan is a good idea
a big red emergency button like for fires. or automatically dispenses in ER during full moon.
Facts
If they can make Ativan into a roller tube ( like for essential oils) I’d buy it
My anxiety is bad
I actually really LOL at this one.
I'm down for this idea and I only worked briefly as HHA (home health aide) but I've been in the ER enough to know it'd be a great idea!
I just love this guy!! So true & yet with his expressions, so funny!
"We are fully staffed today"
Everyone in that room: "impossible"
Oh yeh. We were fully staffed the other day with an extra resource RN. Wow. I was stunned. Then I realized, the surveyors were here. So that’s why😂😂😂
The one with the waiting room hit, not a nurse but I was waiting in the ER to be seen for ordered labs when this exact BS started to happen. Nurses technically cannot lay hands on someone when doing this but other patients in the waiting room can pour water on the offending person.
Lmao! That’s creative!
@@blueskieszeta Thanks! My grandma and aunts are nurses, when my grandma retired she still met up with her old colleagues and shiftmates. A lot of my younger adolescents spent with her was during these meet ups and I’d over hear all kinds of things, at the hospital she first worked at this kind of incident happened quite often but they were not allowed to physically touch a male patient waiting to be scene until he was in a room so they’d have to wait until a male colleague or patient interfered. The best way to not get slapped with battery or sexual harassment charges was/is to pour cold water on them as cold water doesn’t burn them.
I hope the ice AND cold water dispenser was nearby.
@L Mac I cringed out of my skin. Give it back.
@L Mac Aaaand I just threw up in my mouth….thanks.
As someone who worked in a nursing home, ' when did someone pee on me?' Hit particularly close to home 🤣🤣🤣 and 'I'm just sick of cleaning up shit covered sheets'
Always have an extra set of scrubs. 😮😅😅
"WHY? BECAUSE THERES KIDS!" MY GUY PLEASE THAT WAS SO UNNCESSARY-
The amount of patients that think they can expose themselves in the waiting room is too damn high.
It's true, it happens and you have to tell people to STOP!!
Yeah I guessed it happens and it is not surprising. Nothing really surprises me anymore.
Once you go to a hospital, you’ll feel like you’re dealing with wild animals.
Now this is factual. My god it's a headache cuz half the time I'm not the person needing to be there
13 years in healthcare and I'll never look back lol I don't know how you do it but you crack me up!
The good thing is that nurses are used to all this shit and very chill when dealing with "regular" patients haha. When I was unable to change my own pad after surgery I was super embarrased but the nurse did it without even blinking haha
My mom is a nurse. She told us countless times (and mostly when we're eating... thanks mom) about puke all over the floor, patients purposely painting the walls with their crap, etc, patients with really poir hygiene, patients with delirious tremens that can he agressive. So yeah, blood on a pad is nothing. ^^
“uhm…
oH HE’S DEAD-” LMFAOOOO
These sketches keep getting better 😂😂😂
As an EMT I can relate to many of these situations especially the phone one. I once took the ambulance phone home with me.... oops
This is what call forwarding is for (ask me how I know).
So many thanks to hospital and clinic staff!!!!! We all appreciate you!
Selling your soul and peace of mind for the incentives lol gotta love it
As a vet tech I can relate to most of these. 😂😂
Sit in a room near the nursing station in the ER and hear this convo happening EVERY time. It's sad AND hilarious
People don't know how hard healthcare is. Not only do you deal with people who are sick physically, but you deal with people who are severely mentally ill. And some of them may be your co-workers!😂
Thought you were gonna say, and some of them may be your patients! 😂
I'm a patient. Sometimes I want to ask some staff if they need the 6th floor (psyche) lol they scare me when I'm in the ICU and only a few staff are unhinged.
@@donnaleeah5075 To be fair, the ICU staff deals with a ton of stress on the daily. And they are almost always needed. Finding staff people who are not a little lost, who can take time to destress is going to be hard.
This is so beyond accurate. So so so accurate.
"When did someone pee on me?" Was the most relatable 😂
The nebulizing Ativan through the air vents is perfection. I could definitely use this when trying to deal with my cousins.
I thought it was just me, but apparently it's basically everyone in healthcare
It's similar in assisted living where I work too
The place I work had a real bad staffing issue, and I once went Christmas day because there was no-one in so my manager was offering double the already triple pay (6x my regular pay PER HOUR)
“What are they gonna do; fire me? Ha. Not enough staff” is literally my life right now.
I have been in healthcare for thirty years this August..I have several certifications and not one of them was ever clean or sane! I love the brutal honesty with your videos! Keep em coming!
Thank you for your AWSOME channel 🙏🤗
I love these skits , I only just discovered this channel . I have so much respect to all nurses and people who work in the E.R , ambulance services & all health care jobs.
Without you there would be no health care system.
With Gratitude

Me: 👁️👄👁️
"Have we tried nebulizing Ativan through the air vents?" Ativan is my best friend when im having epilepsy issues🤣
what is ativan
@@teiagaw7663 it's a calming medicine I guess you could say. It slows the racing in your mind. Usually used for anxiety, sleep issues and epilepsy.
Oh, ok. Ty
@@teiagaw7663 you're welcome😊
With a base definitely. If you do not want to end up with a colostomy. And when the patient says “I don’t want to bother you guys too much tonight”- prepare for hell cuz they will be on that call light, you can’t even sit down or pee.😂
That triple w a bonus got me every time dammitt😂😂😂
Your videos are hilarious. But they also make me appreciate the jobs the nurses do.
I felt the „oh they can’t fire me they don’t have enough staff“ I’m 99% sure the only reason I still have a job is because we’re so understaffed lol
Extra money and a bonus? I'll do it!
That means I can quit sooner. 😄
True
I worked in a psyche hospital for many yrs . I really liked the idea of Ativan through the air vents .
"What are they gonna do, fire me? We're understaffed" is a mood for 99 percent of workers 😂
🤣"Have we tried nebulizing Ativan through the vents?!" 🤣🤣🤣🙌
Nebulizing Ativan through the air vents is such a Top Tier Idea.
The number of times my "12" hour night shifts have become "oops I forgot no one came in so I (overhouse supervisor) needed to come relieve you" 18 hour shifts is genuinely depressing to think about after 15 years of nursing. And don't even think about being late when you come back in 6 hours to relieve them. Fun times!
My 10 hours become 16 or 18
I feel this in my soul. Just scratching the surface of the cray cray
"They're paying triple plus a bonus?!"🙏
“Tell them I can’t come in. I died”
I really did tho 😂😂😂
I've never felt that, "Forgot the unit phone... I'm not going back..." more than anything in my life! ahahaha!
