  • PFFT. American Nurses.

  • Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!

  • this is my hospital I swear. its hilarious. as long as you can laugh at yourself and your situation sometimes. SO accurate

  • @rebe12354 Wow, sorry, I thought this video was for ICU nurse vs ER nurse, not floor nurse vs ER nurse. if you work at a hospital who's ICU RN "floor RN" 7 to 8 each, it's either not ICU or not safe. My guess is that you are neither ICU nor ER. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

  • Well to be honest, you kno that we can all say weve done this stupid shit. Because honestly think about it... we dont know shit!!  Dont let the ego fuck with u... we dont.

  • lmao @ incompetent monkeys......

  • I can find some humor in this. I would, however, like to challenge the floor nurses who care for max 2-3 patients in ICU (that are usually there for DAYS ON END) to juggle, lets say, 4 NEW acutely ill patients in ER, all arriving at the same time (because we all know discharges and hospital admissions ironically happen at random) each with a different resident per patient entering new orders all at once. That's REAL life. I've been on both sides, neither are perfect. Can't we all just get along?

  • @rikki32183 what hospital u work at??? floor nurses here always take care of 5-6 pts sometimes 7-8. Im just saying.... u said 2-3 pts.... thats way the fuck off ;)

    much peace <3 hahaha for real

  • As a former ICU nurse, I can honestly say "been there, done that."

  • OMFG this is absolutely hilarious! ER Nurse, but hey, I haven't done this.. WOW..

  • I'm not even in any medically related profession and this is still hilarious...

  • Accurate reflection when nurses have lost the ability to be critical thinkers & just follow the pack mentality- ICU nurse of past struggling with the future of our profession!

  • Sad but true

  • Why can't the offgoing nurse have stayed an extra 5 minutes and given the report? This is a pet peeve of mine. I am a floor nurse and I have discharges all of the time when I come into work at 3 pm. I am trying to d/c someone and I don't know them. The off going nurse should always stay and do the transfer or discharge. It is safer for the patient and it keeps the on-coming nurse from sounding and looking like an idiot because she doesn't have first hand info on the patient.

  • Omg!! I am an ICU nurse but have worked ER as well, this was soo funny, keep em coming.

  • Jesus Christ! Just what the hell operation do you guys run down there? God help us all! I'm glad there is more than one emergency room in this city. Are you even a nurse? He had three amps of D50. Shocker. This is my work life in a nutshell. Stupid patients, stupid staff. Not all, but definately alot. God help us all.

  • I can so relate to this video. lol

  • This is some funny stuff......I was in tears......I thought I was getting report from the Ed........"shocker"........hah­a

  • @gradygriff lol hey now, I've given a pretty crappy report because the day nurse rushed out while the pt was on the list to be transferred upstairs; the assessment was really "sweet, you're breathing! GREAT, you're going upstairs real soon". This video is truly making me laugh.

  • @Renounced Agreed. When I made the video I didn't want to rock the boat. But so many situations like these can make a person jaded and cynical, especially dealing with morons who do little more than react and without any type of critical thinking. I share your contempt for the ER . They are monkeys.

  • @idiopathicloser Monkeys? I'm an ER nurse (a good one). Your ED nurse gave narcan to your fictious patient because that is standard treatment to safely and rapidly rule out an opiod overdose. Maybe instead of bashing the hard working, overstressed and under appreciated ER nurse you should remember, your pt came to you with IV access, a working dx, completed labs, xrays and CTs, medicated and alive. ER pts present with a complaint & we start from scratch. Show some appreciation.

  • @MsEDRN Thank you! And might I add that all of this is done while juggling multiple NEW patients from scratch! Sheesh.

  • LMAO. "So we gave him the Narcan to see if it would wake him up."..........."Lemme guess, it didn't!" ahaha

  • How do u make these videos?? Luv it!

  • LMBO!!! Im a new grad just got hired at the #1 public hospital in Florida, this sounds like situations I hear every day I work...real world is totally different from school!

  • One on One nursing went out ages ago, doubled or deployed...budget, budget, budget....it happens everywhere, hard to get funded education therefore de-skilled staff, what does anyone expect nowadays, ICU, CICU, PACU, its all the same...

  • Well, yeah, this is pretty accurate.

  • I thought it was hilarious!!!

  • HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! JC! Just what the hell kinda operation do you run down there!

  • I almost choked from laughing! It's 101% almost true from all the hospitals I've worked.

  • I'm an ER nurse and I've actually heard an idiot co-worker giving report such as this! However, it's not one sided! An ICU nurse asked me one night how to start an IV! And she was not a new grad! This was HILARIOUS!!!

  • As and ICU RN, I could have completely written this!

  • I'm an ICU nurse an this shit is real :)

  • I'm an ER nurse and that shit is funny.

  • Lol..This sounds sooo familiar.

  • I laughed by butt off! At the comments too!! OMG. Did you folks Fail -- "Laughter 101" ???

  • I know for a fact that in my local ER the nurses aren't always the one's giving report.

  • Comment removed

  • Possibly abit accurate, but a little extreme. And nurses dont chart meds, and also dont decide bed placement. Would be great if we could one on one nurse.......... easy to judge!

  • @kkkkuujj  Most of the conversation is accurate except some of the rude comments made by the icu nurse. (I did this for the comedy of the situation). I may have been thinking that, but I'm not rude or unprofessional enough to say it while doing my job. I have the utmost respect for ER nurses, recognizing that it is a completely different type of nursing from icu nursing, and we all have had days like this :)

  • @idiopathicloser I'm an ICU nurse, and have little more than contempt for the E.D.

  • I can't stop laughing!!!
