This really helped me a lot. I have an interview tomorrow (actually later) for a rehab nurse position. Thank you!
Hope you get well soon! Thanks for working hard in sharing experiences! 🥰✨️
thank you po :)
Thank you for sharing your experienced.. very informative.God bless
Why am I just now knowing about your channel!!! Ahah I will be a huge supporter for one of the best nurses to work with!
Awww thanks!
Well this is just a starting channel and I speak Filipino too, but thank you! ☺️
Sana ma'am may mashare ka din about other units like RDU..I love ICU pero I prefer na mas lighter at routine na than bedside ganun siguro pagpinagsawaan mo na ang bedside s middle east hehe!Keep it up ma'am more vids to come..
hello po! naiinitindihan ko maam talaga - na minsan di ko alam if burned out na ba ako, if dahil nagkakaedad na din, dahil busy din since may pamilya (mga anak), hehehe! salamat po maam :)
Thank You for this video 😍 Very informative po. Feel better soon po 🤗
thank you po! :) stay safe and healthy :)
I have that opportunity i don't know if i should take it
Think about it first whether in any area you will start. It is a good opportunity but each of us have our own preferences and reasons :)
saw this post on lefora, subscribed! :D
Thank you so much po!
Hi mam any news vlogs po?
Hi mam.. from middle east din aq and currently starting US journey.. unfortunately wala masyadong hiring in line w/ my specialty and would like to try acute rehab.. kasi naisip q pag med surg masyadong broad.. day shift po ba kau dyan sa US.. meron po ba kaung kasama regards to lofting and moving patient? Kasi dito sa middle east lahat tau d ba😅
hello! mas less busy sa rehab since less doctor's orders as compared to acute care. night shift po ako lagi, and lagi kang may nurse tech/ nurse assistant po.
Bat feeling ko ang bait nyo po? 😂😊😊😊 and did u teach before? Anyway, done watching po and didn't skip ads din hehe.. more pls yun naman experience ng family nyo nung first time kayo jan.
Hehehe thank you.
I have no professional experience sa teaching pero Madalas po akong mag preceptor sa floor. 😁
Hello, nurse Alma! Thank you so much for uploading this video, big help po. Nabigyan po ako ng idea about In-Patient Rehab. Almost similar po pala to where I am assigned right now which is a Hyper-Acute Stroke Unit, may mga problema din sa mobilities most of our patients and need assistance with ADLs and rehabilitaion after maging stable kalagayan nila.
Ask ko lang po sana, nabasa ko po kasi sa isang comment mo that you used to work in a Med-Surg Cardiac unit, how was it like working there po? Mahirap po ba? I got accepted in 2 facilities po kasi in the US. One is as an In-Patient Rehab nurse, and sa Cardiac-Tele unit naman po sa isa. I honestly feel worried that I might not be able to handle yung sa Cardiac-Tele kasi sabi nung iba sobrang physically and metally demanding daw and one would really need to have critical thinking skills.
Would truly appreciate your insights, ma'am. Maraming salamat po! 🙏❤
hello po! Sa Acute Rehab definitely less acute as compared as cardiac tele. Rehab patients are supposedly more stable as compared sa cardiac tele since everybody po is hooked to a cardiac monitor (prone sa arrythmias, so may chance na mabilis mag deteriorate ang patient). If you worked sa stroke unit - na highly acute, I would say na you makakaadjust ka sa rehab - hopefully may enough staffing sa unit :) If nag hahandle a ng stroke patients na nag tthrombolize ng patients, then may similarities kahit papano sa cardiac tele. :)
Just to ask po, after your contract, will you still continue to be in rehab facility or you wanted to cross over to another specialty??? Totally agree, step down can easily burn out a nurse
Hello po!
I am thinking to continue po sa rehab or post acute or semi acute care. But it really depends because our long term plan is to move to the state where our family is- and see anong magandang job opportunities po dun :)
Hello po. If you don’t mind po pwede po malaman name ng facility nyo? Related po ba sya sa encompass health inpatient rehab?
Based on your experience which setting is better to start as new grad?
hello! To me also depends if you prefer babies, pediatric patients, or adult patients. I prefer adult patients - so I started with general cardiac med surg - I think that was a good foundation. Some nurses prefer not to be on bedside, so they start training in areas like OR. Always consider what you are interested in and if you have a choice to start there. :) I hope that helps :)
Hi Alma, thank you for the info. I’m 41 and this is my first time job as a nurse and I’m scared😅.
Yung inpatient rehab same lang po ba sa sub acute? Tia
Hello po!
So as far as I know basing on my experience po, rehab facilities/areas can be either sub acute or post acute.
Sub acute care rehab patients still are more closer to acute care in a sense that they can start their rehab process but can tolerate less than 2 hours.
In Post acute rehab setting po, patients are supposedly more stable and can tolerate longer therapy schedules, and are preparing for discharge back to community/home.
Hi! If I may ask why did you choose to be in inpatient rehab?
hello po! at the time that I applied sa mga agencies and direct hires, it was the available opportunity, and I wanted to take a break from acute care kasi medjo nabuburn out na din po ako - given that nasa covid area ako for 2 years before ako madeploy. If magpalipat naman po ako sa inpatient (at that time), most likely sa covid area din po ako maassign and I just wanted to take a break from that po 🙂
New subscriber po, ma'am. Malaking tulong po ang mga informations nyo po.
Sana next po pros and cons nmn ng dalawa, like salary kung same lng sila, benefits, etc.
May bedside experience po ako, kaso hirap ako makakuha ng offer since maliit hospital kung saan ako nagwowork. May offer po SNF kaso wla po ako idea kung di po ba mahirap lumipat ng hospital after ko s SNF. Salamat po!
Hello po!
Currently po ba nasa Pinas po kayo?
@@ambuhayrn Yes, ma'am sa pinas po. Maliit ang hospital kung san ako nag work kya hirap ako makakuha ng offer. Ngayon pinag iisipan ko n po ang snf kya nagsi-search po tlga about s snf, ang plan ko po sana after ng contract ko tska ako mag apply s hospital. Kaya gusto ko malaman kung halos same lng po ng benefits at rate s hospital at SNF.
@@yuriboyka2336 wala po akog experience sa snf pero mas busy po dun since mas madaming patients. Salary depends po sa state pero mas malaki mg onti ang acute care. Benefits of full time depende po sa hospital / facility na employer niyo po.
@@ambuhayrn Ah ok mam, Kala ko po same lng. Bago po kasi s akin yang ganyan set up, parang wla din po ako makita nyan n offer ng mga agencies. Salamat mam s mga sagot po.
@@yuriboyka2336 ah okay po.
Bali basically po ang alam ko sa snf after ng rehab or post acute care din. try to inquire or search po about wwhss (may branch na po sila sa Pinas) - sila po nag process ng papers ko. ☺️
Hi maam, ano po agency nyo? :) thanks
Hello po
Through WWHSS po ako :)
Hi Maam anu po usual medication sa inpatient rehab? :)
hello! usually medications sa Pain, Diabetes, Cardiac Medications, occasionally chemo medications and minsan may IV an oral antibiotics.
