Nice Video A short documentary exploring stereotypes of nurses and the nursing profession That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

[Kricardose]

I Really Like The Video From Your A short documentary exploring stereotypes of nurses and the nursing profession

[rss22]

FYI, most of the time the docs ask the nurse what WE think the next step should be regarding pt care. The residents ask us Nurses what to do, we help train them, we do the bulk of the work, the doc usually just gives the yes or no after us nurses make suggestions.

I am a male student studying nursing, thank you for up loading this clip, its very interesting and spot on in many points!

[angsal305]

[iamjomar0411]

I am a Graduate School Student of Nursing in the Philippines. And I made a TERM PARER similar to this one. I am not aware that this documentary exist for quite some time, and havent watched this one while doing that Paper. ANd I gathered the same CONCEPTS and ISSUES for Images of Nurses....And It feels so great that I made the same observation as this published Documentary had...

[mermaidcandy]

Women is nursing homes love male nurses, I sure know that!

[nursecutsie]

yes, full respect to nurses!

[ShilohNative]

I like how someone stated, " nursing comes from within" Sure bet many of you wish you knew that prior to years of education.As for those "inner nurses"~~~~please leave your skills at home.

[FADavisVideo]

This documentary offers a great look into nursing and the tribulations that go into this demanding and rewarding profession. Respect to all nurses!

I'm a male nurse... no I'm not i'm only in grade 11, wanting to get into Nursing.

I hope I get the respect I work for.

[bballman]

Thank you so much for posting this great video.

I am a male LPN who works in geriatrics and I love nursing.

To me it is all about the resident and caring for them in a compassionate way.

wiggling arm guy at 2:14 haha

also, the stereotypes used to bother me, but now that ive matured, i just don't care. i want to be a nurse! if strangers have no respect for my future profession, we will see how much theyll feel that way when i change their sheets and insert their IVs and feed, provide medication, and comfort in their most vulnerable state. be proud, nurses!

[TheJazzyCazzy]

Im a student nurse in the UK, I dont really think this is an issue here - I would say about half the nurses I work with are men and nurses are generally respected. I think maybe because the HCPs work as a team, and no one really says their job is more important. Nurse led clinics are becoming more and more popular. Im proud to be a nurse and I agree it is down to the way you treat yourself as a nurse that controls how you are treated.

[vilaca12]

Em Portugal precisavamos de fazer um video destes e publicar em todos os canais televisivos para a população em geral saber exactamente o que é ser enfermeiro e a importancia capital que têm na saúde dos utentes. Adorei o vídeo.

@vilaca12 From Google.translate

In Portugal we needed to make such a video and publish on all TV channels for the general population know exactly what is a capital nurse and the importance they have on users' health. I loved the video.

[jeffkrtg]

Very interesting..take a look at more good information at youtube:superjknott Alfie

[slikkback]

I'm a nursing student at ryerson and this was an amazing look at the stereotypes of nursing. I really do think we are our worst enemies

[ewajch]

Great video from beginning to end!

[busterbone]

When I was in the hospital the Nurses and their Aides really took care of me. The Doctors were knowledagble and more authoritative, but they just stopped by sporadically (once a day on rounds) after I was less critical and vitals were stabilized. In fact, I totally respect any Nurses and thought they were for the most part nice and comforting when I was really sick-it helped. Also the Chaplain, volunteers and anybody that just was there as a compassion human to be with was also great in healing.

[099kimi099]

if it was up to me, the world would be a whole different place to what it is.

[cielq]

Nurses dun get the respect that they are supposed to, unlike doctors they think they r the God.

[marshy221]

While nurses don't have MD's they do a lot more than doctors do and are there 24/7 with patients or family. They should get paid and just as much credit as doctors do.

[minutrax]

@marshy221 nurses go to school for 2-4 years, MDs go to school a minimum of 11. I agree that they should both be valued in society but how do you justify that they should be paid the same?

[ReginaChick]

Until there are higher standards for nursing school admission (similar to med school-with standardized testing, high GPA, difficult pre-reqs, interviews, research, and volunteer work), a removal of personal care from job duties (I.e. cleaning vomit or stool), and a change in attitude from nurses themselves (who are often hostile and anti-male due to their own insecurities), people will continue to leave or not go into nursing. Total overhaul is needed.

[psi82]

@ReginaChick "a removal of personal care from job duties (I.e. cleaning vomit or stool)" You're kidding aren't you? Talking like that makes you sound like a frustrated medic.

And making tertiary education harder for nurses isn't a garuntee for producing better nurses. The education should only be as hard as the job requires but with the option of advanced education and scope of practice should one so desire.

[ReginaChick]

While nursing can be a rewarding career, let's not kid ourselves. How can the nurse being interviewed imply that nurses essentially have the same science background as MDs?! They don't, not even close. Those who say they do are the ones who know just enough to be dangerous. Nursing schools are also not that competitive/easy program, so a lot of people get in who should not be in healthcare. Also, it is a myth that MDs don't see patients holistically, that is in fact part of med school.

[gatemarzipan]

@ReginaChick Nurses have a different perspective than MDs. True, they may not have as in-depth of an education as MDs, but they spend the time at the bedside, through the (yes sometimes) mundane washing-up or the emotional support, as well as the technical aspects of care. Nurses see the progress or the problems when they happen, they get the patients through it. Drs order and sometimes perform the interventions, but for the most part it is the nurses who intervene, assess, & identify issues.

[SiSi2320]

@ReginaChick How can you say that nursing school is an easy program? If you aren't even in the program...then you have no right to assume that it's easy. And "a lot of people get in who should not be in healthcare?" That's a pretty stupid thing to say because basically you're implying that if you're not smart enough to be a doctor, then you shouldn't be in health care. This field isn't just full of doctors...there are so many other professions that you can find including nurses.

[00MrPanda00]

I'm still not convinced

[NurseEntrepreneur]

This is a great video as it brings out the lack of understanding of the role of the nurse. A nursing background can be a great springboard to many different roles including nurse entrepreneur.

[lex082881]

people this is amazing video. you are all in the life.

solo necesitas confianza en ti mismo y  mantener la frente en alto nuestra maravillosa profesion

[Tindamayor]

doctors cure the disease ,nurses care for the person as a whole holistically. doctors focus on the disease process while nurses focus on the patients.

[hepatitis]

I am a nursing student here in the philippines and I can say that many people even the ones in nursing do not seem to see the distinction between medicine and nursing and so tend to downplay nursing as to physician's aide or something... I was even once guilty of it I admit... but if you truly understand what nursing is, you will srely appreciate it because it is the one single profession-vocation that requires scientific and evidenced-based practice as well as a holistic approach to a person.

[rdjfraser]

Great use of YouTube, glad to see nurses being talked about, and the stereotypes around our profession being challenged.

[tala12345678]

i want to be a nurse

[triplesec06]

good vid.

[loafoid]

I am a nursing student at Ryerson University and I must say that as much as nurses try to walk and talk many many nurses (especially teachers)in my experience don't. Nursing culture feels to be more than slightly self defeating. Despite all the stereotypes that appear to hold back nursing as a profession, it is my opinion that nurses can be their own worst enemies.

[bnammari1]

Great Documentry

[ainala1]

It is a great video. I do see people stereotype nurses especially since I want to become a nurse. I couldnt believe that people would actually think of such an honorable profession.
