I got floated to another floor and I was the only one with 3 discharges and 2 admits! Just cuz I floated. SMDH. I hear that!!!

Your so right the job I applied for I got because I did great at the interview. A lot of times it's not your experience but how you present yourself.

I just left the bedside and I'm so glad I did.

I just gave my resgination today! and instantly my anxiety decreases! I am free!!

Can you do Moana 2 in 4DX And wicked

Girl you are me n I am you. Been a nurse 5 years now n even travel nursing isn’t cutting it. The anxiety I’ve been suffering n I’ve been seeking the Lord to help me thru this for so long but sometimes it’s just not the place for u to be so I’m def looking into transitioning to a non-bedside position. I wanna send this vid to all the toxic managers, secretaries, supervisors, nurses n pcts out there that made my nurse experience hell. U are not alone n this same experience is ALOT of our stories. Sucks cus I love patient care but the rest of it is so garbage. Praying for joy n fulfillment in all our next endeavors💕thank u so much for speaking out

I must say for a new graduate, you are very sharp! I am proud of how in depth and passionate that you are. I also terribly sorry for your experiences. You have painted a very adequate picture of where nursing is. I pray that we can get out of this horrible, toxic culture or there will be no one left.

I am a 53yr old Nurse. Been doing it 30yrs. I am in a SNF facility. I am going through absolutely every single thing you discussed including my first panic attack. I have been slowly building the depression and anxiety issues. I of coarse am worried about leaving what I know thinking I am not good enough or too old. However, I absolutely know I have to get out. Every single issue you spoke of is 100% accurate and it's horrible. Thank you for sharing.

Nursing is nothing but modern day slavery.. it’s a servitude occupation.. let the family take care of their families before they expected us to kick their Assssss

Thanks for sharing this video. New Grad here and I'm so glad to hear the self advocacy and transparency.Love your energy You're destined for great things.🫶🏾🫶🏾🥰

Ashley, can you start off without doing bedside???

Please can you do a video on the current RN position you hold?? How did you get hired into that position?

I just watched your video and it was like listening to my experience as an RN at a specialty hospital. I toughed it for 4 years and kept stringing myself along, saying it will get better with this new Supervisor or it will get better with this new manager, but it never did. I gave my all and more to support the team and my patients and was always chosen to be the preceptor for all the new hires because of my patient, thorough work ethic. I never wanted anyone to feel alone or unsupported while they were working with me. I also worked nights. I was approached to be a supervisor, took the job for 19 days and resigned to go back to the floor. The politics, culture and environment were “all about the money honey!” I finally reached my limit and resigned from that job. I’ve been home for 2 years caring for my sick husband. I need to get back into the workforce and have been really feeling guilty about not going back to nursing. Your video has helped me make a decision today and I thank you for sharing your experience. It’s been very inspiring to know that I’m not alone in my feelings and that there’s light at the end of the tunnel 😊 Thanks again!

I was made in 1997! This is getting worst as time passes on. I pray they they out national leaders csn make some changes. If not, there are not gonna be any nurses to take care of our patients.

I’m going into nursing but I’m giving myself 10 years and I’m out…I plan on using my income for investing and creating passive income so I don’t have to work anymore or as much.

Great video.Thanks for sharing your expirience

Thank you for this! Bottom line is ….we sick of people & allllll the bullsh!t !

I’m an esthetician and work in waxing and we go through the same. It’s terrible. So toxic.

Sounds like you had a rough experience. Nursing isnt for the weak it sounds like to me that you may like to go into community nursing. So you can get more involved with preventive health care Not all places treat their employers like this. It is good for someone to get a couple years experience with bedside nursing in med surg or some form of syb acute care it will make your next endeavors a little easier

Soooo relatable!

WHAT is up with nursing for real? I recently heard a theory that states, (and I’m paraphrasing here) All the people who were school bullies somehow end up being nurses and, the more I hear these stories, the more I believe it. This stuff is absolutely insane and that nurse with the blood transfusion was straight up petty. I’m sorry you even encountered a nurse like that, some people don’t shouldn’t to be in this field and it’s so sad because, nurses like that are pushing away the nurses who actually love it. Been an LPN for 5 years, going for my RN and then the bedside will NEVER see my face again. Great video, new sub ❤

Why do med/surg as ur first area when nowadays hospitals have residency.. ex. Resident RN(ED), Resident RN-ortho etc… im a new nurse in the US(International grad) and my first job is OR periop101.. i do think that the “bully aspect” is so much more towards female nurses.. im a male nurse and it seems less imo

I like ur authencity.

I understand.. You wete being dumped on. Im in oversight and compliance but moonlight in a swanky retirement home so Im somewhat removed. Its not perfect but its workable.

Me too Nurse Case Manager for almost 1 year😂😂😂…. Immediately want to go back to the floor. I just wish my bedside experience had been better 🙃 my dream was NNP

Nah eff med surg. EVERY SINGLE NURSE I’ve shadowed in clinicals/at my internship HATES it! Every single one! Told me all I needed to know. I’m looking to specialize asap! Either postpartum or the OR… I felt at ease there and so did the nurses who worked there.

Amen

Guess who i am boy or the two girls'

I love that you enjoy my anutie as she explains this :)And lets appreate her editing

That Cane’s looked good, I still gotta try them 😋. The 4DX movie looked so fun!

The tator tot casserole looked so good! Vegan fest looked fun! It makes sense that the food might be better in a bigger city. I loved your vlog 🥰🥰

Omg!!! Everything you said is true!!! I experience this as well. It really hurts to go through all that hard work and finally get to the point where you can carry out your passion and you can’t because of everything you said. I quit my grad nurse position as well the culture was totally messed up and it definitely hinders new nurses that’s just starting out and trying to learn. I just don’t understand it’s like they all forgot when they first came to the floor. Well said!!! Change needs to come!!!

I just started my new grad job i'm so nervous ;-;

I haven’t even finished watching your video but this was me as a new grad 6.5 yrs ago on a Neonatal ICU UNIT. In my experience the biggest bullies were the nurses with less than 5yrs experience. I loved the older nurses. I remember my preceptor and her girl gang talk so much shit with me about all the newer nurses and telling me what not to do. It was so uncomfortable, and I’m talking as early as my first week as a nurse. I used to wake up in panic wondering if I did something wrong or missed something and if my preceptor was going to scold me for not stocking enough supplies. I had PTSD for years it wasn’t until my 4th ish year as a nurse/traveler that I stopped caring what others thought of me. You video is spot on!

I hate how they say oh nursing is so versatile but in the same breath say you have to do med surg. Please stop 🙄

Yes Ashley, I agree with everything you said. I experienced the bullying and anxiety that came with the high stress; 12 hour shifts were awful; and felt little to no support from management. I was actually medical forced to leave my RN job due to pregnancy complications... 20 years out of nursing and I am considering going back, I would need to take a RN refresher course. You asked "If We left bedside Nursing what did we do?". I stayed home and raised 2 kiddos. I was fortunate, some would say, I had a spouse who provided while I stayed at home with the kids. Well, one kiddo successfully launched into college and one just about to. Now, I'm really wanted to go back to work, it's time. I sometimes wish I would have at least stayed in Nursing part time, because I've heard no one will hire a RN after 5 years of leave. However, in all honesty, I had so much anxiety just like you described that kept me NOT running back. I'm wondering what advice people might have in my case? Do I spend the Money, effort and time to do a RN refresher course in hopes someone will hire me? or ???? I'm open to suggestions...

Bedside nursing is no joke , the bullying is on point . New grad nurses are always being picked on . I’m thinking about dialysis or wound care . Still not sure yet but I definitely don’t want to do bedside forever.

Big facts ! All of this ! This should get to every ceo cno and hospital administrator because this is all true !

I resonate with this video sis like I’m literally going through similar situation and just going back and forth with the decision although I keep telling myself to just do it and maybe it’ll get better with time but I know it won’t.

@13:32 well when you have engineers and project managers with no clinical background who were trained on machine operations developing the workflow, this is what you get. We need more clinical folks in the C suite.

Nurses eat their young, but devour their Black young

As a nurse myself for the past 22 years, this is 100% accurate.

Not one lie told. I'm already back in school and I've only been a nurse for a year. I'm giving it one more year and then I'm going PRN until I graduate with my PMHNP.

I’m an old nurse, 45 years. I am very sorry. Some of what you explain has been there forever unfortunately. Some of us older nurses have been through it too. Some of us remember and try not to pass the nastiness we can control on.

I just came across your channel, and i can relate to everything you said. Ive been going back and forth with the decisions if i should leave my current employment.

I wanted to be a nurse but when I was doing my research, I came across “nurses eat their young” phrase. I asked nurses and everyone would say “that’s so true!!!” I was like oh hell no! I’m not going into a stressful career to be bullied.

Going through the same thing as a new grad, two months in and only a few days off of orientation and I’m struggling hardcore. Thank you for this video 🩷

Well done! It's hard being in an environment where your values, whether it be surrounding health care or life in general, are not shared. That was my experience, and so I've made the leap myself. 10 more shifts to go then outpatient here I come. Never been happier even with the loss of stipend and differential pay 😊

Bullying doesn't happen if management doesn't allow it. Co-workers will bully others because they know they will get away with it. The person being bullied usually the ones to go, and the bully stays to attack the next person. I notice bullies usually are friends with the managers.

I love having these types of conversations. I had to leave my nursing job in North Carolina due to bullying and discrimination, which took a toll on my mental health.
