One of them causes the other

This is the truth lmao

LOVE THE BALLERINA END

And old people are no joke to fight off.

Annd, be gentle, aaanndd try to be alive to overcome the shift.

I just thought "I wonder why..."

ha ha ha ha, professional ballerina

😂 I said the same thing.

@@MOMKAT1WV I meant the way he was so sexist about stereotyping women, I wouldn't date him!

Professional ballerina Yeah those fuckers ain’t married

Whoa what? Thats one heck of a misdiagnosis😢. Im so sorry u had to go through that.

What is a hysterectomy

@@e.t.schelin6470 its when a doctor removes the entire uterus and ovaries from a patient. My grandma had to have one after her third child because she was hemhorraging and that was the only way to stop it

@@e.t.schelin6470removal of the uterus

​@e.t.schelin6470 when you surgically remove the uterus.

All of my nurses during my hospitalization were amazing but one of the best was a black male nurse. He worked in the ER and in the cardiac care unit when they were understaffed.

This is an incredible post!!! You have been wonderful to realize how good people can be. We may not think people notice effort or kindness, but they do. I think it saves lives.

I wonder have you ever gone back to let them him know that he made things better for you during this bad time? It might make him feel good to know how much it meant to you❤

@@annabelles1622 I told him when I was off the vent

This is why I’m going into nursing

No shame to ballerinas. It's an incredibly demanding art form.

​@@jamesboyle6134yeah, it takes a ton of strength. Also the males are usually tasked with holding the women while still dancing.

Then he should know that the term is ballador. Ballerinas are the females

I was waiting for Ben to say, "isn't that kind of a girl's job?" Just to throw his own words back at him. But Ben decided to be the bigger person. Good for him!!!

​@@adedow1333 I was looking to see if someone else knew that

Me neither lol what a twist!

😂😂😂

But I don't see how. One must be able to land on one's feet, and Chad's are firmly planted in his own mouth....

I would’ve said “but isn’t that a girl’s job?”

I was expecting him to be unemployed lol

My 6'3" son is an ER nurse and my 6"4" nephew is a private carer for challenged people.

So sorry for your loss 😢❤

(HUG)

It was a gentleman at the lab (bloodwork) who handled my miscarriage. It was the most genuine and kind response anyone gave me throughout the entire heartwrenching experience. I left crying, composed myself in my car, then went back in to thank him.

@@onlytrain2succeed. (HUG)

Yep

Ikr 😅

Facts!

Exactly

Ya, I believe. Never would want to be responsible for people lives like that it so taxing. I have several cousins who are nurses. That job is no joke.

Male cheerleaders should also be normalized. Those dudes lift people on their shoulders that’s not easy!

well on the flip side ppl dont realize how much u strain yourself as a female either tho. anyways, i constantly have my own mental meme image of myself on the daily when i get frustrated ... nevermind, ill do it myself. my short self doing it myself: climbs up everything. if i can even get past my first stepping stone bc that might be tall too. also also kind of random but idk so much about all these random shifts. bc im not trying to kill myself. i already feel like i bring plenty to the table. try talking to me like im replaceable then. ill take my ethics elsewhere where i can actually still be human ... and its not attitude when its common sense. i have a life outside of work. they must expect for me to not have a back at all ... as if that place was fair to begin with

@@ahhwe-any7434 I just saw your reply for the first time today. It seems to me that, if pay generally is or should be a reflection of the value of one's service, then the population shifts resulting from the baby boomers retiring means that everyone has an ethical obligation to be seeking to fill the societal need that provides society with the most value. In other words, all Americans should be looking for the highest paying job they're competent to fill regardless of what their current job is paying. That's "always" been true of everyone making less than 250% of federal poverty level, but now I wonder if that income caveat still applies.

Is he still alive and doing well ❤my dad is a nurse

@@tuna36263 both my uncle and the missing foot guy are doing fine, the best part of the story is that the missing foot guy and my uncle are friends now! His foot got stitched back on because he luckily got there in less than 10 minutes, he was a construction worker on the opposite side of the hospital

​@@Morana-moriWow, that's crazy! 😮 Missing foot guy got lucky.

sooo .... was the slicing intentional?

​@@lunaskissesim curious too 👁👄👁🍿✋

do you go "Suh! HWUH!" with every change of position??? 😂

@@sophronielno 😂

I wish I was a ballerina, cheerleader here,😔 my body is always aching, even if I’m not performing for a game.

At least 3rd grade taught me something.

Yo same that *hwuh!* *hah* was so funny😂

6 cups? not even

@@condemnedd684 I was gonna say more like 12

This! So many people don’t acknowledge that certain things became “mens work” because women weren’t allowed, and/or things became “womens work” because once women were allowed men fled for fear of not being viewed as “manly.” Work is work, if you can do something , kuddos. Even more kuddos if it’s difficult, no matter what the gender.

Nursing and teaching became womens work cause you could pay them less.

Maybe it's just that men aren't strong enough to be nurses? (Except Steveioe)

they made it a women's job so they could keep them underpaid

​​@@antigrace1 believe he was an ER tech, not a nurse, but yeah, nursing is tough work and most jobs don't have sexes or genders (unless it's directly related to the function of the job, like gigolos or... seggs toy testers).

Not sure if you mean cringe or laughing

The old ladies love male nurses too

You need more PEOPLE in Nursing. There is a nationwide shortage of good nurses since COVID. The person’s gender shouldn’t matter so long as they are competent.

@@fluffytail6355 no there’s a national shortage because hospitals keep cutting nurses, benefits and support while enriching ceos. COVID’s just a good scapegoat

@@TheLocomono9maybe where YOU live but in Canada, where I live and as someone who was hospitalized for most of 2022, I can assure you - there IS a nursing shortage.

😞

That's a shame. Men can be nurses, just like women (anyone really) can be pilots, doctors, cops, anything they want. All that matters is a desire to do the job and being qualified.

This is an example of men being negatively affected by toxic masculinity.

@@Shield954 Everyone is negatively affected by toxic masculinity, that’s why it’s toxic

I'm a female ED doc. Please tell your Dad from me that I am incredibly grateful for nurses, especially male ones. People remember that female patients might only want a female around them for certain conditions, but forget that men can feel embarrassed and have "delicate situations", too, where they are far more comfortable with a male - and a lot of those situations fall into a nurse's area of expertise, like wound care, for example. A lot of my older male patients, who come from a time where only their wife would go near them "down there", get incredibly embarrassed if a female has to catheterise them, for example. Seeing the relief on their faces when a male nurse offers to help out is a beautiful thing. It gives them the dignity they deserve. Your father is one of the people providing that, which is worth far more than any sneer. Male nurses taught me an insane amount when I was a junior, they have made me feel safe around more volatile patients, they tend to have an amazing sense of humour and the team would just feel wrong without them. My father-in-law was a male nurse, so I understand the shit they get, but it's uncalled for. Please thank your dad for me for his awesome work and dedication 😎👍

Real! 😊

When I need health care, I am only concerned about qualifications. Nurse, NP, doctor, transport staff, janitors... Do your job well and you're the best person in my life at that moment. And I thank them all every time I see them.

if the patient is sexist they could be a danger to both the nurses and themselves so ig there's gotta be specifications

So that's how you spell knackered! Props to your cousin, working with people who don't really want your help is hard.

Most of the physc ward nurses are men, thankfully. I tried working the dementia ward and didn't like it. Violence u can reason with but when no one is home, all bets are off. It's such a cruel disease.

The patients are sssholes

Yikes! Those psych patients are troubled & can be violent!! 😮

It's hard physical work..

Congratulations to your husband! And yes the profession needs quality providers!

Sorry, I'm British and we may not use the same acronym or name for them, but that's a DNP?

@@ascoadia282 If I remember correctly, doctor of nursing practice or something

​@@ascoadia282I believe it is the highest educational degree a nurse can achieve, at least in the nursing field.

Nurses, both male and female, would knock any bodybuilder outta the park! Have you seen the weight they can lift???? Forget bench pressing...they can pick folks of any size up like they're twigs! 🏋 Nurses ROCK!!! ❤

That's the part that's killing it for me and making me 2nd guess becoming an RN

Rubbing their heads?

Burb?

Yes. He rubbed their tiny heads really fast and very gently, and they just let it out like grown men! Not one pat on the back, just rub the tiny head. He said it had to be over the soft spot, so you had to be gentle. Works, too!

@@angelabarnes7588 Go figure!

@@angelabarnes7588 so rubbing a baby's head makes him/her burp? Wow. I never knew that. My son is too old for that-he's 14 and burps himself now, plenty, lol-but maybe I'll try it someday, if he chooses to have kids, with my future grandbabies. 😂

absolutely agree with Anna here, thank you for your dedication and heart to do that!

Props to all male nurses ESPECIALLY since they’re the ones being asked to assist moving up/transferring patients. Y’all are the MVP’s! One male nurse even said “You’re just using me for my body. What room are we going to”? 😂

@bashlea Haha oh I've definitely been there!! So many times my coworkers referred to me as "the muscle"...helped repo, helped stand/transfer, and even jump in when a patient is getting physical, but I love my job, and I love my coworkers ❤️

​@@bashlea😂

Excuse me! HEY! I SAID EXCUSE ME! I think you're all doing a hell of a job and thank you very much for all that you do. The iv you don't notice to the not making eye contact with a person with sensory issues. I see you. No one seems to notice when you are there but we would all feel you if you left.

The advantage is that many of the men who push past the stigma will be the best for the job. Gotta find that sweet spot. Sadly i think social norms twist the beneficial characteristics in many men. Creating the feminine role.

Oh yeah social norms same for women just different characteristics.

@@lizcollinson2692 Oh, I've worked with a number of wonderful men. Of the three men I recall in my graduating class from nursing school, one loved the heart and wanted to work on a medical unit that doubled as a cardiac step-down, one loved geriatrics, and the third wanted to possibly do something in occupational health and safety (he had previously been a roofer). When I took students to a medical unit for practicum, there was an OUTSTANDING nurse who was a man. He was very helpful to my students and was fantastic at his job.

would it be terrible if they were mostly gay?? what is this supposed to mean 😅 i hope i am not unwelcome, as i wanna apply for nursing school, but i am a queer man 🥴

@@rloach067 There is a common misconception that if a man becomes a nurse he must be gay. My point is that this is not true.

I've had the same experience. I had cervical cancer and it ruined my immune system. Every once in awhile my body just attacks itself and I get a ride to the ER. I go to a local ER clinic and they are always so kind and empathic. I don't even have to beg for help, they always just help me with the pain and fear. I'm always very worried that THIS TIME, the pain won't go away and I will die screaming...luckily, with the help of a tenz unit, I've been doing ok...thank you, staff at the Alamo Heights Emergency room, we really appreciate your time and help!

i work w/ a male cna. in short, i think hes only good at saving face. i mean i guess hes good at being a dude... and always accepts more cred than what he doesnt do. i think he knows what hes doing for the most part and other stuff. but in the same sense, i still think hes lazy & half ass. & tries to make himself appear as if things run smoothly when hes around. bc his flirting skills is on pt.... so, also just no. alotta females dont even want him touching them. not that i think hes predatorial. its just him: its just in the way u approach ppl ... some ppl: walking around with hineys out for a good while :/ some poor elderly ladies: vulnerability & paranoia. also older ladies not in their right minds: dont mind if i do strip. 😅 as a female, i gotta tell all my elders, no. no. you gotta keep yalls gems covered. also the way he proccesses male aggression isnt really the most bright.

I mean, that has actually been how things used to work, once at a time. As in, when my grandpa (retired pediatrician) did his clinicals, there were no male nurses around. There were men whose job was called the male equivalent of a female nurse today - in German, a female nurse is a "Krankenschwester" ("Sick Sister"), and a male one is a "Krankenpfleger" ("Sick Carer" - notice how it's more gender neutral) - but they mainly did the lifting and transporting and stuff, nothing that really required formal training. So yeah, that was a whole thing.

@@NurseGodOfMischief1of24 wow, that's real informative. Thankss

Epistemologically a male ballerina would be a ballerino (dance master)

@@captainwasabi That may make sense in terms of the original language, but that's not what they're called in English.

​@@captainwasabiepistemology?

As a professional ballet dancer- everyone just calls themselves professional ballet dancers
