 Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. I've got nurse bass here. What's going on? We're in South Carolina hanging out did a little meetup We've been hanging out on the beach and we decided to knock out some content for you guys So I've been getting my questions on here And this one is from Lanna B asked I'd love to hear how you stay in love with your job and what keeps you motivated and I like this question because I feel like There's a lot of days that we go home as Nurses and just feel really defeated and really like I hate my job and I'll admit I mean I feel like a lot of times we're posting about how great nursing is and what it is But like the reality is there's days that you come home and you're like, I don't think I'm going back So like what do you do to like really stay? Motivated in like in love with your job. Yeah Yeah, so, you know, obviously if you're a nurse, well, this is probably This is geared towards nurses. This isn't more. This is more so nurses than nursing students, right? If you're a nurse, you know that you're going to have bad days. You know that that's just part of it I mean no no job is perfect and you're going to have days where you're just Drowning and like you go home and it's just like the hell with this job But you know, that's and that's kind of one of the reasons why there's a very high like burnout rate Among certain specialties within nursing. I think the really the real key thing I've talked about this before is always remembering your why why why did you do this to begin with? That's the biggest question that that you need to hold on to you know If it was for financial security for your family so that you have a nice career and you're Stable you're raising a family or whatever it is whatever your purpose was you really always had that desire to care for patients Always hold on to that and I think remembering that your why can also change You know like maybe what you became a nurse for now your wise are different So like every day you're developing your why it's whether it's like Something outside of the nursing world or maybe you have a patient that just really inspired you and like that's your why we get so many people that I don't say we don't enjoy taking care of that's the wrong words But like they're just really draining patients Good patience and then you get those that you're like, you know you saved their life Or you know you made a difference and like now that is another like little piece that you can put in your why basket of like This is why I do this job. Yeah, it's those moments that I Don't know. I mean that the thank-you's the gratitude from patients can often seem few and far between But I mean whenever you get that it's like, I don't know it makes it all worthwhile So yeah, definitely remember your why and just try it. I don't know. What is it glass half full kind of perspective? Yeah, I'll tell a little story. I had a patient that I took care of three days in a row and very I'm not difficult in the sense of the patient the family just a very sick sick patient and Not doing so well probably was not gonna end up doing so well And I really kind of bonded with the family and they really like respected me and like we're thankful for what I was doing For their loved one and I a few weeks later There's a little letter in my little mailbox at work and they actually sent me a card that said like thank you so much Oh, and like went on and they gave me a little star. That's awesome Because that stuff like rarely happens it does and I was like like I was almost like am I allowed to accept this like this is like unheard of you know, but it was awesome and and also just having like Life balance outside of work, you know, if you go home and just let work eat away at you Then you're never gonna come back like rejuvenated and ready for the next time You got to really have an outlet outside of work whether it's talking with friends or exercising or sitting down taking a nap Watching a movie whatever it is Do what you got to do.
