My name is Arslan and I’ve been living in vehicles for the past few years. My journey of alternative living began after I was fed up with the high cost of rent in the United States. I fell in love with the idea of living on the road, so over the years, I converted a sprinter van, a Camaro and most recently been living in my 2014 chevy suburban camper car. I enjoy making KZfaq videos and recording my different experiences to share with you guys. I’m also a nurse half days of the week because I have a significant passion for helping people.
In This video: I show you what my day looks like while working at a hospital as a registered nurse in the united states and living in my car.
KZfaq Posting Schedule: I usually post on Saturdays 9am EST (NY time). I'm currently posting 1 video every 2 weeks but I'm working towards posting 1 video a week.
I love reading your comments and wish I could reply to all of you but my schedule doesn't allow. But I always reply to SUPER CHATS because they pop up on my phone!
P.S. If I need to tell you guys something, I will comment and pin it on my latest video.

My husband lived in his car in a hospital underground parking garage for four days. Miles away from home he couldn’t afford a hotel room because everything in the general area was very expensive, but there he was living in his car while waiting for me to get through surgery and recovery. He said it was tough at times but being able to visit and spend time with me every day without having to travel so far made it an easy choice. I love him everyday for it.

I am a retired RN living in northern California . I was an LVN for 8 years and an RN for 27 years. I worked as a nurse in 5 states but was certified in 10 states. Luckily for me California finally started paying RNs a more equitable wage for the past decade. But California also has one of the highest cost of living in the country. Nursing is a very exhausting profession. It takes lots of physical and mental stamina to be a nurse. Many people leave the profession after only 3 years due to burnout. The physical toll on body and mind often leads to injury. Nursing is a very stressful occupation, and every nurse is always aware that exhaustion can result in errors which can impact the patient. Nursing is not a profession for the weak. Living in a van at least takes some of the stress away from the problem of getting enough sleep and the anxiety of getting to work on time !

Hey, another fellow RN here. I think these videos are great, and to be honest your feeling of not doing a good job is completely normal! it takes most nurses a year or so to feel comfortable in the job and even longer to feel proficient.

Doesn't mean this guy won't obey orders and do the same for a couple bucks, like most all the nurses did. I hope for the best for him, and real smart move to save.

I told the doc we need pacing. I got him versed, fentanyl, and got him hooked to trans/pacing, called the helicopter and had him flown out. He was going to be discharged with a damn 3rd degree block. No one is ever going to say a word to me about it. I work in rural access ER and no one here has ever paced anyone. I just got that done and no one will ever say a word to me about it. In fact, the guy’s wife was rude as shit to me about the whole thing. I won’t receive a thank you, won’t hear “good job”, no one even seems to recognize that I caught that before he got discharged with a 3rd degree block and died. I don’t go around giving myself credit or asking for it, but I know if one of the managers caught that they’d be getting their picture taken and handed a plaque.

Nursing professors need to teach the importance of bedside manners, empathy and how to calm their ego's. Most RN's I've dealt with especially the newbies walk around with a chip on their shoulder and put themselves at the same level as Doctors. They need to be knocked down a couple of notches. All you see now is nurses congregating around the nurses station, laughing and joking around and staying on their phones while patients have called upon them for an hour. It's the CNA's and LPN's that do most the work with the patients. I've concluded that I'm not fond of RN's.

I'm an EMT and I work 9am to 10pm 3 days in a row plus overtime. I work an hour away from my apartment so I'm doing partial van life on my work days. I head in the night before when my family goes to bed and live outside the station for the next 3 days. It saves me over 100 miles and about 5 hours of driving every week. I don't really miss out on family time since I'd get home after they are in bed and leave right when they wake up. Plus I get more downtime without the daily commute. I have a plug, all the conveniences of home (sofa, bed, toilet, tv/dvd, kitchenette) and a gym nearby to shower. Everyone I work with knows what I do but the neighboring businesses don't. It's a very comfortable situation for maximizing my time and minimizing my expenses and gives me 4 days off every week to spend with my family. Loved the video. Feels like having a virtual neighbor.

Many people have no idea how stressful and difficult nursing is. I was an NP. Even when not "working" I was always reviewing my day's events, thinking about the next day and how my patients and their families were doing, and reading journals. I rarely felt I'd done enough but knew I'd done what I could within the time and financial constraints. I've been a patient a few times and made sure the staff knew I appreciated them (without revealing my secret identity). A good nurse is hard to find these days. Their love for nursing has been drained out by poor management. Keep going and know you are appreciated.

There is a difference between the number of male nurses versus female nurses. Statistically, male nurses are at a record high of 21% in 2021 compared to 7% in 2008 based on "registered nurse" statistics. I worked for a phone company for 18 years, and there was a 20 to 1 female versus male in that industry. So, speaking about an industry that in past years was primarily women IS GOOD. I will not be told what to think or speak about because I grew up in the US in the 60s and 70s. I know the power of freedom of speech. It keeps us free!
