So pretty much generic things that people routinely have evaluated at an ER or PCP. So enlightening

It doesn’t have to be zeroed at the phlebostatic axis. You are zeroing to atmospheric pressure, so it doesn’t matter where it is when you zero. But it must be leveled at the phoebostatic axis for accurate BP readings. You said it has to be zeroed there at the beginning, not sure if that was a slip up or not 🙃

I work nights and I fell asleep immediately after my shower. I awoke to what I believed was a ventilator alarm sounding and ran into the kitchen to find it was just the microwave beeping. My son just stood there looking at me like I was crazy. lol I told him I thought the microwave beeping was a ventilator. He told me to go back to sleep. 😂

Hello, I enjoy watching your clips its small things like these that make such an impact. I also enjoy your ICU clips I am new to the ICU, and they are very helpful, thank you!! 🌸

i low key really love bedside after 7 years

this ER nurse knows about that carotid and femoral artery pulse checks lol

bro I can help set up for EVD placement but ask me to monitor and drain? i still be having questions lol

depending on the shift i'll either listen to music on the way home or i drive home in silence lol

bro how about i had 1 pt with a ruptured brain aneurysm with no brain stem reflexes so im trying to keep them alive for family to come up and see them before they withdraw care

The scrubs of shame is for real. If I see someone in hospital scrubs I assume they got poop, pee, emesis or blood on them. I also enjoy the holiday work vibe. You are all in the same boat and usually more time with patients like you said. Pot luck is much better than the provided holiday meals at most hospitals.

👁️👄👁️well then…

Thank you for not only your help physically but also being so kind and helpful emotionally/mentally. ❤

You’re an angel

That's really wholesome ❤

Interesting how different hospitals use different vernacular we always called them backers and not chasers or runners

Ok support is amazing. Definitely using

Do you have heterochromia?

Although I am no longer an ICU nurse my word is monitoring. If you ask 10 physicians and 10 med surg nurses what is monitoring you will get 20 different answers.

Your channel is so interesting! I'm not in the ICU but your videos make me kind of want to

Love this take. I'm gonna remove stable from my vocab and using supportive and improving/declining

It's loud in your head that's why you need the quiet.....

You're so funny ❤🎉

So beautiful love this 😊 hi from a nurse in New Zealand 🇳🇿 😊

Ur awesome ❤❤

LOVE UR ENERGY!!

Sometimes people are just destined to their job...The whole ICU staff in Newport Oregon in 2018 made my family whole ...someone who is 9-5 doesn't do a check up call, offer to bring you coffee...stays up on the phone for hours talking me out of a tree and away from a drink!

6 years ago, the ICU nurses were more honest with me when my husband was moving on from pain...they loved his funny T shirts...they came to my home after he passed and I was blessed to give them their favorite shirts...I got more check in calls from them than family..my loss was eased by their kindness 💜💜💜

Good ones!

GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸🎆🦅🦅✝️

Oh, wow😮🎉Happy 4th 🇺🇸But, dang

i’ve had clinical instructors tell me to tap it gently against a surface instead because “you have nerve endings but the COW doesn’t”

His eyes have been open and we needed to treat his eyes. So we not sure how well he can see. So we going to test this tomorrow with flash cards to see if we can determine a suitable flash card size to se if we can make a book to which he can nod or tap to the right letter. Will feedback on this course.

Currently having this challenge. We tried getting feedback with reciting the alphabet slowly and waiting for a tap. Limited results. We can have a head nod. But we have still diff to check comms on trying to spell a word.

this was super helpful

Hi, Ashley! I really like watching your educational videos where you delve a little deeper into a particular area/skill/concept of bedside nursing. I find them so helpful since I'm new to the ICU. I also bought your critical care crash course, and I liked it a lot! Would it be possible to make videos where you discuss what to prepare/things/steps to do when you are having a patient that is currently being intubated/extubated? I know you addressed some of these before, but I just want to get a better understanding of them since I still haven't come across them often enough so I am still uncomfortable about them. Thank you so much!

You make a difference🌈🌎❤ Let your light keep shining on others🫶

Well said🙏🍀 we need more people like you, you have my greatest respect🥰🙏

i don't need a doctor to make me feel inferior- i can do that all on my own lol

You have the best heart!❤

Well said!

Link your tee .. it’s so pretty and colorful

we have to do bedside report when pts go to rooms on the floor/ICU- that ain't gonna go over very well lol like us ER nurses have to take our own patients upstairs and give bedside report for every pt that gets a room. now bedside report on the unit im all for

all the rapids lol

Me too girl, I go insane being home all day

Thank you. I've been learning about chest tube drainage systems from the textbook, but have never seen one during clinical rotations.

Images like this make me remember my moments at the bedside. I miss critical care and bedside ❤

I’m not in the medical field. Does this mean one nurse to one patient ratio bc of how sick a person is?

You do realize this is a HIPAA violation right? Enlarging the screens look what you see in addition to your patient.

stomach intubation is called an og tube lol

I had another encounter with a RUDE orthopedic doctor. The annoying thing is both of them are contradicting each other and they are both rude. They bot CUT me off when I explain esp with the history. They freaking blame me for everything 🙄 Why didn't u buy this expensive injection and even surgery. Then the other would say, you shouldn't get this injection or surgery because that over acting. Like ugh
