[magickunderpants]

I have a BSN from a top 50 nursing school went on scholarship graduated two years ago no job. Do not waste your time.

[MelodyOfVision]

*LOL* I love this commercial!

[mandykal]

I happen to like this song. All I can do is close my eyes and think of all that I have done. The sensation of a daunting shift with outcomes of heart aches..... All worth it in the end because we are nurses (Regardless of specialty).

[killswitch0918]

Hahahaha gay!

[lrhodes936]

Haaaaa!!! You're a nurse

[Ezema25]

i am a nurse

[bacchamae]

I think the song is a little bit cheesy, but I like the ad overall.

-senior NS here. :)

[Tankweti]

These ads have encouraged more and more people to go to nursing school and graduate only to find ... NOTHING! No jobs. I graduated in May and still cannot find any kind of a nursing job anywhere. Do not even get responses to my resumes. I did a small study and found out that facilities are only hiring 1-3 new grads but no more than that. Nursing programs are pumping out new grads to the max.

[MelodyOfVision]

@Tankweti - I'm sorry to hear that, Tankweti. Please don't give up searching for a nursing position though! I remember what nursing school was like - so much sweat and tears to earn that RN title after your name. Try looking for nursing positions outside of your current location, maybe in other states. Apply even if the job description says more experience "preferred" and don't limit yourself to your favorite specialty - as long as you get your foot in the door.

[magickunderpants]

@Tankweti I graduated two years ago no job still BSN went on scholarship to the University of Cincinnati in a MSN program. My university's hospital will not hire me till I work a year somewhere else.

[bishop2726]

As a nurse for over 20 years, I am highly offended that people will sit and criticize a desk nurse! You have to work your way up to those jobs. Also, they know just as much as any other RN. People need to start criticizing the nurses that steel narcotics, mistreat patients, and put patients lives in danger. Those are the nurses that need criticized, not desk nurses. After, a nurse is a nurse, and they all make a difference!

[rickbar123]

@bishop2726 You mean you have to rat your way to those jobs. Nobody gets a desk job unless they are a fat assed rat. A nurse is not always a nurse. Never compare fat assed desk RNs to the ass kicking life savers that work the bedside day after day.

[Lizzo13]

This commercial and song are so cheesy and horrible. The whole "You're a nurse, you make a difference" makes me cringe. I know nursing is important (though I'm tired of hearing how nurses make so little, especially when they can make a lot and definitely make more than my degree, which requires more education and is also a helping profession), but they could really promote it better.

[MrFrye91]

This is so touching

[Djpupsta69]

As a Paramedic this video makes me sick, Nursing is hands the Highest paid profession for the least amount of schooling. A JOKE !

[tahj677]

@Djpupsta69 You think? From what my mom tells me, Dean of a local college back home, the nursing program has the highest dropout/failure rate of all programs at her college. 

[gymgirl8100]

@Djpupsta69: Really.......maybe you should go to nursing school before deciding its a joke, cause we have to know what the doctors know plus some. Nurses aren't the highest paid healthcare professionals out there, yet we get the blame for mistakes and no credit when we fix it. And we go to school for a minimum of four years for a BSN. Oh, but I forgot paramedics think they know everything and are better than nurses.

[trailmarker3]

my mom is one of the nurses

[underlinedbluetext]

YORRRRRRRRRRRREEE A NURSE!

[sparks199]

@underlinedbluetext you make a diiiiiifereeeence!!

[JenJensthename]

@underlinedbluetext you make a diiiiiifereeeence!

[floydsanders]

Someone got paid to write that song...

[pisces07171]

I am currently in nursing school and whenever we have a seminar and all of us are milling around waiting for everyone to arrive and get started our instructors play this song on continuous loop. We all joke that we want it for our Ring Tones. It's almost our anthem. :)

[rob051160]

The singer *sounds* like Gladys Knight, I can't find any confirmation that it is her though.

[Medic1989]

This song makes me giggle every time I hear it.

[underlinedbluetext]

@Medic1989 ME TOO! lolol... yhoooooooUUUURR!!!!A nurse! you make a deeeferenceeeee. I love how he yells "you're" ..... YORRRRRE A NURSE! lololol

[wkat950]

This is a hideous ad. This gooey gospel music is putrid. Couple that with an African-American nurse being hero and zapping a patient gives a racially patronizing message. By the way where in heck is the doctor when the code is being worked? Can nurses zap anyone with other than the AED?

If people want more nurses I say destroy government inefficiency that breeds office politics, give them more money to do their jobs, and discontiue the caste system in medicine.

[DebWillDo]

@wkat950

you're a flippin' ASS!!

[BrownieNate]

"You're a nurse".....that part gets me everytime...lol

[utterbullspit]

I friggin love this song!!! Wish I knew the singer and wish the song was longer.

[JT30CA]

Lady Gaga should sing this.

[MissMousy60]

Why don't they show the fat nurses sitting in the nurses station eating donuts while the patients are dying? That is the reality of nursing these days. Fat and lazy.

[BrownieNate]

@MissMousy60 LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

[badicalindustries]

Hawt

[Y2ANJ]

reminds me of those songs trey parker and matt stone do for south park. YOU'RE A NURSE, YOU MAKE A DIIIIIIFERENCE!

[thekilamgroup]

I luv this theme song from this commercial! HOT!

[jonasfan9878]

i love this commercial

[rickbar123]

hey johnson and johnson what is the connection between you and this feel good nurse bullshit?????

NURSES WANT OUT = SHORTAGE

WHY ARE YOU BULLSHITING THE YOUNG PEOPLE???

GOV GIVING YOU A BIG TAX BREAK?

[bigmooseextreme]

there isnt a nursing shortage just because some want out, it's mostly because there aren't enough faculty in the schools to get enough students through to fill all positions. I think any promotion of nursing is important considering the current and future dangers of a shortage, but this commercial kinda sucked

[rickbar123]

i am sure its because so many want out,

away from the bedside

[rickbar123]

you are lost!!!!

the shortage is because so many want out. NSG schools closed because no one was going into NSG school. now lots of people are out of work and they want to become nurses.....in part due to BS ads like this that hide what the job is like.

[deekellan]

(I'm clapping wildly) Well put Rickbar123.

[rickbar123]

your welcome

I HATE THESE FEEL GOOD -WANT A BEs- THAT TROLL U TUBE PUMPING THE KNOW NOTHINGS FULL OF HOW GREAT NURSING IS BS.

THESE LAP DOGS RUN INTO WORK AND TELL THE BOSS HOW THEY FIGHT FOR NURSING ON U TUBE.....A FEW MORE BROWNY POINTS FOR THEM.

THE SAME LAP DOGS THAT RUN AROUND AND TELL US THAT JACHO AND HIPPA ARE GOOD FOR HEALTH CARE IN AMERICA.

LAP DOGS LAP DOGS LAP DOGS

COME HERE LITTLE LAP DOGS!!!!!!

[1greatnana]

Tell me you got into nursing for the paycheck...

[rickbar123]

Funny you should ask that. It shows you know nothing about NSG. Real nurses know the pay sucks, so shut up.

Now tell us who you are Nana? Are you a good little lap dog for admin? Or are you a know nothing from the know nothing American public?

[1greatnana]

I've been an OR nurse for 23 years. A BEDSIDE nurse, just like you claim to be, and I'm someone who neither bows to administration nor takes crap from someone like you. As far as the pay, I support myself very nicely on my paycheck, thank you very much. You must be horribly insecure to strike out at colleagues the way you do. And DON'T tell anyone to shut up on a public forum. If you can't take the debate, don't post.

[rickbar123]

Oh, your such a pro.

Go back to your desk. I am sure you dont bend over for admin; more like a cow-tow.

[1greatnana]

It's 'YouTube', 'wannabe', 'brownie' , JCAHO and HIPAA. You are certainly quite the spokesman for our profession.

Run-on sentences are typical of a third grade education.

[1greatnana]

Who's lost? The reason for the nursing shortage is the lack of nursing instructors. After spending 25K or more on a MSN, most refuse to take the substandard pay that universities offer. Because of that, most Master's prepared nurses work as administrators, consultants, and yes, hospital educators.

Being a nurse is no garden walk, I can assure you. However, if you care about people and the profession, and not just a paycheck, nursing may be the place for you.

[bixxl]

can anyone find out who sings this song i hate it but i need to know for college or i will fail! help!

[mrbabymonkey]

If I were a nurse I'd personally be offended to this video. It's as if Nurses really need bto e reassured they make a difference. give me a break

[joules360]

mrbabymonkey:

This is not for current nurses...this is an ad to bring in new nurses. We know we saves lives everyday.

Joules360

[mrbabymonkey]

As the song goes: YOU'RE a nurse, you make a difference.

It's not: YOU SHOULD become a nurse, YOU'LL make a difference

[GeoffLafayette]

This seems like a much better alternative to my experience at UW. It seems like the teachers want to really help the students. Compare this to my experience in the video "Fatal Lab Accident Caught on Tape! (Buckystein #5)" then enroll here.

[ashishmthw]

nursing is a great profession. there is nothing like the joy that we recieve for caring others.

[rickbar123]

you are a lap dog, i bet you sit at a desk all day

[ashishmthw]

wrong. i'm working as well as pursuing my masters.

nursing in its whole spectrum of services that is rendered makes many smile, personally from my experience. you need to know what is nursing before commenting. next time in a hospital remember with the attitude that you have... we'll still take good care of you.

[rickbar123]

i have been a nurse for 13 years, all 13 at the bedside. "we'll still take good care of you" STAY IN SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU ARE OUT OF TOUCH!!!!! I can't recall when we had the staff to take good care of anybody. i do recall a few dead PTs that did not need to die, but J&J WILL NEVER SHOW THAT SIDE OF NSG

[joules360]

rickbar123:

There is no way you are a nurse. Sounds like your name ....you are hanging out at the bar....rick.

If you are a nurse ....then please find another field as you are burnt out and I dont want you near any of my patients. Hit the road!

Joules360

[rickbar123]

up yours -joules360

NOW RUN IN THE BOSSES OFFICE AND CRY THAT I TOLD YOU TO STICK IT.

I AM A REAL BEDSIDE RN- YOU ARE A DESK NURSE, MAYBE A JACHO QUEEN,

ON THE FEEL GOOD PATROL.

GO HANG OUT AT THE NSG SCHOOL AND TELL THE LITTLE GIRLS HOW GREAT IT IS. "HIT THE ROAD" BIG TALK OVER U TUBE!!!!!!

[1greatnana]

a real bedside nurse...with the unporfessional demeanor that you display here, I highly think that you're not one that I would want to care for any of my loved ones.

[rickbar123]

1-learn how to spell 2 -i have 14 years in ER, ICU,BURN UNIT 3 -i would not want to take care of any of your loved ones 4- i am a BEDSIDE RN 5- THE PROS GET A DESK AND GET IN WAY OF THE BEDSIDE RNs 6- LET ONE OF THE PROS TAKE CARE OF YOUR LOVED ONES......GOOD LUCK

[1greatnana]

1-Learn to spell? Check yourself before you criticize, please. Last time I checked "I" is always capitalized. And typing in all caps is rude.

2-There should be a space after a comma.

3-As I said, I wouldn't want you to take care of anyone in my family.

4-A good administrator works along side his/her nurses for the good of the patients, and I would let any of my administrative team take care of someone that I loved.

[phoenixbyrd2]

@rickbar123 What is it like working in ICU? What makes a good ICU nurse? I'm interested b/c if I become a nurse, I want to work in neuro ICU. I'm idealistic, but I want to know the ugly side so I can psychologically prepare myself.  Have you ever cared for coma patients? How do you deal with death? I'd appreciate any answer you provide - I'm determined to become a nurse.

[rickbar123]

@phoenixbyrd2 I never worked a neuro ICU. I have spent about 8-10 years in regular ICUs. It was hard work. I always had 3 people to take care of, you run all day. I am not bullshiting you- some days I went 12 hours and did not have time to pee. The people you take care of in the units, most of the time are on a vent and next to death when they come in.

[rickbar123]

@phoenixbyrd2 When people die on you it is alot of work. If you run a code on them the room gets trashed and you fall behind with the other people you have. The truth is- you wont have time to feel very much of anything. A good ICU nurse is made in nsg school. Hit the books hard, the units are no place for dummys. Always help the other nurses and be nice to family. Treat the familys of the sick like they were your family. Never rat on other nurses.

[phoenixbyrd2]

@rickbar123 What's the difference between a bedside nurse and a desk nurse? Just pumping you for information - I've been thinking about becoming a nurse.

[rickbar123]

@phoenixbyrd2 A bedside RN is a life saving, ass kicking, get it done right, on time, the first time, hard working, run up and down the halls alllllllllllllllllllllllllll day long kind of a nurse. A desk RN is a fat lazy lap dog that rats her way to the top. Desk RN are not really RNs. They were to stupid to be a real bedside RN. The Hospital owners felt sorry for them and gave them a desk

[rickbar123]

@phoenixbyrd2 Most nurses I see behind a desk are a waste. Hospitals want 5 RNs on the floor when there should be 10. The desk nurse sits around and points out what the 5 missed. They do alot of paper work and check the shit load of paper work the bedside RN gets hit with.

[rickbar123]

stay away from the fent patches

[joules360]

This is a great commercial....we do make a difference...ask my patients.

[m3rma1d]

One of my best friends is a nurse, and whenever she's feeling low, I sing this song to her trying to get her to pee her pants laughing :-D

[idieinelevators]

my friend and i make fun of this commercial all the time. i mean, nursing is a great profession, but the end lyric? WTF?

[PrettyMusicMaker]

YUP! I thanks so much for agreeing finally. When I first saw this commercial I laughed so hard and went onto YouTube figuring other people thought so but turns out people are taking it so seriously LOL!

[xc0jess]

yeah i know! i saw this so i had to go on youtube and find it, and i finally did! and all these people arent even mentioning that part! its hilarious! i know its a good message and stuff, but that is definately the best part

[supa7dan]

This is a great video! I'll be a nurse in 30 days!

[rickbar123]

and in about 30 days you will regret it

[staicee218]

you're a nurse!

[heytheresashley85]

As a nurse, I appreciate this commercial. There is nothing sappy about it. It's reality. Good nurses should be honored for what they do!

[TheSolemnJudge]

Are you kidding??? I LOVE this commerical! It is so lovely and inspirational!

[spartaeus]

How sappy can you get?

And that horrid unmelodic "singing"!

Spare me.
