Leena A. Can i ask you a question ? I want to become a doctor but the thing that keeps me off guard is the fact that people day that doctors have no free time and that the only thing they do is working ALL the time. I too want to start a family but idk if you can being a doctor ? May be you know bc your parents are doctors

taehyung sure! You’re right, a doctor definitely has way less free time but that doesn’t mean you can’t start a family! It’s definitely possible you just have to be smart about your timing. I have to warn you, being a doctor takes years of studying so if you want to have a child before 26-28 it may not be the best choice. After that though, you can definitely take a maternity leave, book your schedule based on your children, etc. Pre schools and extended day programs at school are what my parents did to make sure we were supervised when we were younger. You could also get a nanny. There are many options so don’t stress! You can definitely be a doctor and have a family you just need to plan things out effectively. Hope this helped (ps good luck!!) 💘💘

Leena A. Thank you so much !

Oh thank you so much for saying nurses are vital.I feel like that's what I hate about nursing and the only thing I hate. Is when people or doctors think nurses are less then doctors. I come from a family of all doctors and engineers and everyone all ways asks me why I didn't become a doctor.

Thenu De Alwis awe no problem, I hate that stigma!!

Tiara yes girl I feel this whole post 100%

I agree completely

I agree

Yes! I’m glad someone else said it. I also want to be a young, successful person and enjoy life NOW. I went into undergrad my first year with a doctors mindset and now in my 2nd year with a nursing mindset because I realized what I really want! You really have to look into the future and yourself to understand.

Omg I’m exactly the same I’m young but I wanna work in a NICU and like being a nurse you spend more time and are closer with your patients and family etc.

Frandia Blaise what type of nurse ?

Did seeing the nurse more help the lupus flare get better

@@fatimabagayan8756 at first a peds nurse but I’ve grown to love working with geriatrics in the ICU

@@frandiablaise7853 that is so awesome..when my elderly father was hospitalized, it was soo soothing to see caring nurses take care of him and be so kind and even kid around with him. It was the silvering lining of having to see my dad hospitalized. So thank you for the work that you do. We will all get old and to be treated with dignity and respect at that age is all that is asked.

Clodia Frazil I didn’t say I was annoyed. I just simply stated that both medical paths are different.

Same! I appalled nurses hut I couldn't do it. Too much people interaction. I'm moving towards research physician now tho!

CNA's run them. We know the patient better than anyone there.

Nope, unfortunately the admins run the hospital

@@joko3382 lol true

Ahhh I love your channel!

@@kaiwindust7775 aren't we wll omfg I got so hooked when I saw her comment around here!!

It's a stretch, to say the least, to compare a nurse to a doctor.

Diana D why you keep saying this?

You’re awesome thanks for supporting nurses!

Adeyinka Adeshina please tell them, the questions are overwhelming

Hahahahaha

This is officialy my favorite comment on the internet.

Turn it around and ask them why 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 didn't choose to even set foot in the medical field. Then see what they say lol.

Same here in Slovakia, i hate these stupid questions 😑

Doctors take home their work?

Cute Panda yes many doctors work from home remotely, being on call, taking calls from nurses and other hospital personnel. I’m sure they are able to check up on their patients from home. Some less than others. But hospitalists and internists stay busy, I’m sure, because they oversee so many patients and they’re ultimately the decision makers, they’re responsible for putting in orders. As a nurse I only take care of these patients for the duration of my shift. Once I’m home the patient is no longer my responsibility.

Most doctors have to finish charting at home, which takes HOURS. And then like she mentioned they are on call. its like your never off the clock.

BKFutureNP yeah. Calls at home? No thank you 😅😅

doctors with their own practice definitely take their work home

fernando estrella, honestly organic chemist was completely different from inorganic chemistry. I truly did not feel like I needed any of my gen chem knowledge to be successful in organic. But glad you found nursing to be the right fit for you!

Me too! OMG! I found somebody here that's just like me. I hate Chemistry and that's the major reason why I'm into nursing. After taking some chemistry class I was like there is no way in hell I would be able to survive organic chemistry. I HATE CHEMISTRY! Lol good luck to both of us in our journey.

hey girl, Is it easy to switch majors like you did in college or what is the process of switching majors?

Amanda Lynn yesssss relatable

Amanda Lynn yesss

Me too!!

Yeah. I’m a honors premed biomedical student and everything is narrowed down to what you are matched. Whereas the human cadavers, you have to be comfortable with it. However, the downside is being on call and knowing what orders/tests go into a patient. You can literally be on “vacation” and have to be back in a hospital settings when they need you. Doctors aren’t very one to one with patients, rather than being there for symptoms and discharge, but they put in the orders and deal more with paper work. Another downside is the number of math courses you have to take. It’s overwhelming because you have to balance out school, your personal life (e.i. kids, family, friends, bills), volunteer services (community, organizations, clinical), and school to get a “good enough” resume for medical school interviews. Not to mention is the massive student loan debt that accumulated interest.

Psychiatrist interact with their patients often though, so your point is invalid.

I hate when I get asked that.

Anthony Marquez You're a Male nurse too huh? It's all good bro, just being honest with it will never hurt you. Because most likely, 90% of the general public will either want to ask you about it or think in their head about it and wonder. We're curious creatures bro lol

Anthony Marquez My dad used to be a Surgeon and my mom was a Nurse. My dad was always working, he rarely had any time to relax, he was extremely depressed about life. He was so depressed he got his own apartment to be alone from me and my mom. He was never happy because at work he would work, then at home he would review all his patient files and prepare for next days surgeries and consults and EVERYTHING. Having a second hand experience from both sides of the coin, I can honestly tell you man, I never want to be a doctor. So for me it's very simple, I just don't ever want to be a doctor, I've seen what it did to my father & that's not the life I want. Honestly bro, we chose the best profession we could have chosen. Hold your head up high and say PROUDLY "I am a Male nurse. Ask me why I became a nurse, I will tell you why bahahaha" 🤘😁🤘

I am a male nursing student and I constantly get asked about why i am not studying medicine or did I flunk out of med school or something along those lines.

Anthony Marquez Ya just be honest about it fam. As soon as you accept the fact that you're a guy in a female dominated profession, that question will NEVER bother you again. My friends to this day are fucking around and calling a gay dude for being a nurse, and telling me how much they hate me for ruining their "Nurse fantasies" lol. It's all good bro, at the end of the day, it was your choice. You chose it, you're gonna be awesome, you'll do great things, and you'll be one amazing nurse.

Wow you're ahead of the game by watching nursing videos. Enjoy your present moment because before you know it you'll be applying for college.

The earlier the better I say lol

You'll get there!!

Time goes really qk. Youll get there ❤️

You got this honey! It's awesome you have a dream especially at such a young age! Look up lots of videos about anatomy and chemistry is my tip for you. It might seem like gibberish now, but you will be glad you did it in the long run! God bless you❤️❤️❤️

I think people are more so annoyed when people ask why did you become a nurse over a doctor in a way that makes it seem like being a nurse is inferior to being a doctor. Or when then ask it in a way that seems like you're just "settling" for nursing. Like some people will say "oh you're so smart, why don't you be a doctor instead?" It makes it seem as if nurses can't be smart.

Adaeze Njoku (lol i forgot all about this comment!) I totally understand your viewpoint and I agree. I also feel like people are looking at the wage gap between the two rather than the actual skills and qualifications it takes for both professions.

@Bryan W Medicine. I’m almost in medical school. :)

@@juliettexo5013 ahhh girl so happy for you, I'm sure you'll do great. What specialty are you going for?

Anna Zim I also want to become a pediatric nurse, I am currently a senior in high school. How long have you been in school? Have you only been in nursing school for those 4 years?

ana guzman yes it’s four years of undergrad for a bachelors degree in Nursing :)

Anna Handy mom life 😂😂😂

Terea Marie me too 👏🏾👏🏾

Here's a comment I put. Hope it can help: Just to speak for the "doctors don't interact with their patients a ton" remark, my mom (a GP) and a good friend (plastic surgeon) are doctors and they interact with their patients a lot. Even outside of my clinic, my mom does a lot of community events and provides homework help and workshops/events for the kids. My surgeon friend gets a lot of gifts from her patients, too. My mom also never takes work home. I haven't seen her do that in over a year, and even then she chooses to bring it home so she has less work tomorrow. I know there're lots of doctors who don't interact so much, but as someone in med school, I wanted to push that idea. For example, Natalie Crawford, MD is an infertility physician, mom and is soo involved in her patients lives. Dr. Rupa Wong, an ophthalmologist in Honolulu-the same. She owns her own practice, too and spends a good amount of time with her kids. The psychosocial aspect, I loved that you spoke about that. It's so true in many ways, though I feel I know doctors who implement that as well and if they don't, they feel they've failed as doctors. I love nurses, have nurse friends and seriously give my heart to the ones who helped me when I was in Canada

Ula Kalicinska Yass Nurse fam 4life ♥️

the steph awww thank you this is so sweet ♥️♥️♥️♥️

PS Now I know what to tell people who ask "why don't you want to be a doctor instead?" LOL

How are you doing both?

Lola A Whole new playing field for us. Highschoolers get endorsements/pathways to follow in HS. So I picked Health Science Endorsement, and then specifically picked Sports Medicine to become an Athletic Trainer. Im a student trainer and its my goal now in life.

Lola A If you have any questions I have the link too, with all the specifics for my HS course guide

Lola A I’m a highschool student and my highschool is a technical highschool so it’s a highschool and college and in your sophomore year you choose which program you want to go into and your junior year you start working in it I make videos about it if you want to watch !!!

Kimberly Louis I’m doing the same thing! Would that by any chance be excel tecc?

Don’t worry you never will be

@@suereepmeyer6819 there is no problem with that

OMG that is awesome. I start my nursing journey this fall too! I'm nervous and excited at the same time.

Alexis Jack Why not just get a degree in something that isn't as risky and apply to med school? Just asking on why you took this path? Are you worried about getting in?

Why not pursue a different undergraduate degree? I wouldn’t go through all of nursing school just to end up in med school. Nursing school is VERY rigorous and time consuming and burnout is high.

How’s it going?

YESSSSSS I’m currently doing the same

Naomi 777 how did you get this opportunity? I want to be a nurse too and I’m going to be working at the hospital starting the beginning of July, I think I’m going to be in the ER and I’m so excited!

Jose Garcia there’s a hospital volunteering program that i signed up for.

exactly😥😥

Thank you for the comment ❤

Can’t compare the two?? Doctors are more trained and qualified!! Nurses are very essential too!

Like social media lmao
