Hi Guys!
Thank you so much for watching my channel!! My name is Caroline Porter Thomas & I received a video request from Snap Quartimon to do a video about the different nurses have to choose from!
This is actually a more complicated request than it seems because there are so many options! In the hospital alone there are many times hundreds of different things nurses can do & that does not included all of the positions that are available outside of the hospital!
In this video I will give you a brief synopsis... but look at these resources here for more information!!
The Campaign for nursing's future -- Johnson & Johnson
Here is the link I was talking about!!
www.discovernursing.com/explor...
Also here is the link to the Bureau of Labor Statistics:
www.bls.gov/ooh/Healthcare/Reg...
I hope you find all of this information helpful!!
If you liked the video please give it a thumbs up, post a comment & share it with your friends :)
Thank you so much for watching & giving me this purpose ;)
xoxo

No matter where and how you look at nursing specialties... It all suck... the nice part of your nursing day is when shift ends. But, the best is when you get out and do something else.

+Rose Xavier It is truly not for everyone, if this is how you feel most of the time then you should try to find something you enjoy! There is nothing wrong with that... but staying in a job you hate not only hurts your patients, but will be a huge drain on your energy as well. Much love, ~Caroline

This is awesome! I was beginning to give up on going through nursing school because I didn't think I could do it... but this video inspired me. I already work as a CNA on a medsurge and OB floor, I would eventually love to move onto a big hospital after my degree and work on either emerg, NICU, ICU or even do public health nursing part time at a clinic type thing.. thank you for inspiring me Caroline :)

Hi Caroline!! My name is Macy and I am a HS 16 year old but I have wanted to become a nurse for the past few years. i have been watching your videos and live the websites you told me to use. I am still not sure what type of nurse I want to be or if i want to go into medical school and become a physition or paramedic. your videos are kind of clearing a path for me for what I want in the future. Thanks so much. I actually get excited about my education

Hello, I'm so excited to meet you through your videos! Your enthusiasm and excitement for nursing is contagious and I hope that it will be a great second career for me. I realize that your schedule allows you to work for 3 days and then have 4 days off (thats fantastic, btw!) In the nursing profession is taking work home an understood necessity like it is in the teaching field? If so, how much work do you take home and what do you do? Thanks, Christina

@empowern 9 жыл бұрын

Christina Cunningham Hi Christina! It is really nice to hear from you! Honestly, for most of the nursing specialties, you cannot take your patient home... therefore, your work stays at work! It is fabulous ;) Of course if you are a nursing director, nursing educator or something like that... then yes, you could possibly end up doing work from home... I hope this helps!! Let me know if you have any more questions!! Much Love, - Caroline

I love your videos, but in this one you make it seem like it's so easy to just go anywhere you want in nursing. I took me 2 years to find a job and I am stuck in the first place that would hire me, psych. I do not like psych. Also I hate the hospital setting, but I am having a difficult time getting out of this setting. First job out of school so no real medical skills and out of school for almost 5 years. I want to work in a M-F no holiday, night or weekends setting, such as school, Drs office or Occupational Health, however I get no callbacks for any of these positions. Also I don't want to spend thousands to go back to school either. I already have 2 Bachelor degrees, nursing and accounting and I am so close to leaving nursing after only 3 years to go back to the less stressful desk job of accounting. Please don't make it sound so easy to leave a setting you hate, when places aren't hiring those without lots of experience.

@kimberlymej8584 6 жыл бұрын

Fay Nee OMG I feel exactly the same as you. I am not sure if I should quit nursing entirely and star over or look for something else because the jobs I am interested in are not calling me back. For some people is lame to want to have a life after been a nurse. I also want weekends off and holidays to spend eith my family and I know working in a Clinic would full fill that but they don’t consider me. What did you end up doing?

@futurenurseharold5597 9 жыл бұрын

Hey love your videos, I just wanted to ask could you do a video on all the different units in the hospitals and which ones are more positive and which ones are negative and also ur experiences on different units. Thanks so much bye

@rebe12354 8 жыл бұрын

+Future Nurse Harold I think she meant that the people on the unit are either positive or negative. At least, that is how I understood it. The people you work with will make or break the job. If the culture is to not help anybody and play on iphone for hours, then get the hell out of there. But if most of the unit is at the nursing station working on charting/paperwork and communicating, then you can communicate that you need help, or if you are able - to go give help to a fellow nurse/cna. Being a murse myself, I get asked to help move patients a lot, in return I ask other nurses to bring me stuff if I forgot it and I am in isolation - like tape/dressing/IVs/medcine etc.

Rain it depends on your program (both your BScN and medical program) and your country. For my country, it is highly frowned upon because they want registered nurses to become nurse practitioners not MDs.

Hello Caroline My name Is Ajamu I've been watching a lot of your videos on KZfaq & it's has been very helpful to me learning things about Nursing from a Real Nurse. Now I'am a Future Nursing student I will be starting my CNA classes this fall!! & looking to starting Nursing school next year! I'm very excited but I really really struggle with MATH! I've had this problem through high school & even some of middle school & I heard Nursing has lots of math , Nursing is my passion I can't wait to join the Nursing profession but I'm not sure on what to do should I continue on with Nursing or find a different healthcare route? If you have any tips or suggestions I will surely appreciate it Thank you so much & God Bless

I have a question if I remember right you said you usually work on a medical surgical floor right. what do you usually do on a medsurg floor. do you pass a lot of meds. do LPNs and CNA works on the med surg floor with under your supervision I know LPNs can work on a floor such as medical surgical floor. I think the medical surgical floor is the best unit for me to work on I think if I was a nurse right now.

@empowern 10 жыл бұрын

Hi Tim! Long time no see :) Yes on the med surg unit you can pass a lot of medications... just depends on what is going on with the patient. I do think that it is a good place to work :) since I float to different units all the time, I really like working med surg. I hope this helps! Talk to you soon! Much Love, - Caroline

@bimbou3725 4 жыл бұрын

The non hospital specialties jobs that you described in the middle of this video are not easy accessible. I have a BSN AND 5 years experience in acute hospital thru registry.I HAVE DONE A TONE OF APPLICATIONS AND INTERVIEWS WITH NO POSITIVE OUTCOMES. THE HIRING PROCESS IS BASED ON NEPOTISM, FAVORITISM AND RACIAL PROFILING. THIS IS MY CONCLUSION. NURSING FIELD IS BASED ON THE INEQUALITY, AND INJUSTICE AND I AM IN THE PROCESS OF QUITTING THIS HORRIBLE FIELD
