 Hey guys, so today I'm gonna do a video on what I hate about nursing and I feel like I always am Promoting on this channel like nursing so wonderful. It's great. You're gonna love it You know, it's everything and you know what I do love nursing and it is wonderful But there are things that I don't like about nursing and just like with any job There's gonna be things that you dislike no matter how much you love your job So I want to talk about those things because I feel like you know You always see me on the channel being so happy and positive and nursing is wonderful and nothing's ever wrong with nursing But no, there are things wrong with nursing There's things I strongly dislike and I'm gonna talk about those things one of the hardest parts of being a nurse is When you are short staffed when someone calls off sick when all of a sudden you get a ton of patients admitted and You just are like drowning in the workload and it compromises your patient safety You are just going you know from task to task to task from med to med to med to you know I v start to start doing a foley to hanging a med to doing antibiotics talking to the doctor You're just keeping up with the tasks and you don't really get to do good patient care and things can get easily missed your charting is not ups up to par and Overall your patients are just can suffer from having short staff and that's really hard because as a nurse You're a caring person you want to help people and then some days you just leave not feeling like you actually helped anyone Like you just did the tasky things. You didn't really get a listen to anyone's stories You didn't get a really listen to how someone was really doing because you were just so busy trying to keep up with the demand because you were didn't have enough staff there or Your patients acuity was just higher than what you could really just handle as one nurse and not saying that you're a bad nurse But sometimes your patients are all really high acuity and you just fall far behind another reason why I Don't like nursing is because you get treated poorly quite a bit by your patients now Not all patients there are a lot of patients who are very thankful and wonderful But I would say a lot of times your I mean your patients are sick They don't feel good and that in turn reflects onto their attitude towards you And so they may be yelling at you. They may be short-tempered They may have a shorter fuse as to you know how long it takes for you to go give their pain meds Maybe they can't wait more than two minutes because you know They've had a previous experience where they've been in pain and it's taken 30 minutes to get back to them and so you really have to kind of take the brunt of a lot of things where your patients are Frustrated with you or they may not actually be frustrated with you They just may be Frustrated in general and then it's just gets taken out on you And so it can be hard as a nurse to almost every single day have people who are Frustrated and angry with you or crying or sad or emotional and it really is taxing on you as a nurse and you have to learn to separate yourself and Not take it personally which was really hard for me at first and it still is at times You know it's hard when you have a patient who's really sick and their family members keep calling you and they want information and they're You know questioning you as a nurse and they know that's really hard to deal with but you know It's just a part of nursing and you know We just deal with it another part of nursing that I dislike is you know a lot of shifts I come home And I'm so tired because I was running around. It's emotional. It's physical. You're lifting patients scooting patients Boosting patients, you know moving commodes moving chairs arranging things in the room Pushin IV poles, you know, it's just a very physical and emotional demanding job And so a lot of days I go home and I'm very tired and I don't have a whole lot to left to give You know anyone else let alone myself because I've just spent myself so much during the shift. So These are all things I dislike about nursing but in the end the good does outweigh the bad There's no greater feeling than knowing that you've made a difference in your patient's lives when they tell you like Thank you so much like you have made me feel better today. You have brightened my day I love every time you come in the room because you make me smile. You've helped me so much You know, there's no greater feeling than knowing you're helping people and even on those shifts where I don't feel like I'm helping people I know I am and you know the good it definitely outweighs the bad So don't take this video as being just so pessimistic because you know, it's just the reality of being a nurse There's things that I dislike about being a nurse just like any job, but you know, it is a wonderful career I do love it and enjoy it and I hope that this doesn't deter you guys from becoming a nurse I hope it if anything and inspires you so give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel and I'll see you next time
