This was a whole lot of nothing

Check out the Ishaya's Ascension. It is a great spiritual practice to destress your nervous system and experience more peace and bliss. This is not a belief system like Christianity. Go for your dream artist's instead of being a nurse just for money.

The comment section is very heart warming. I am a nurse from the Philippines and my destiny brought me to USA. I was trying to avoid the health care in the u.s as my 1st job was working as a laundry attendant in a nursing home. I've seen things I might not wanted in my life. Bounced from jobs to jobs and then my destiny bought me back to my calling. I passed my nclex exam and working as an RN in the same nursing home where everything started. I am thrilled, curious, excited and anxious at the same time but THIS IS MY CALLING.

As a psychiatric RN, I really loved this talk. Thank you.

If you take time as a nurse to listen to your patients, each one is a wealth of wisdom. Nursing has thought us so much and we also make amazing entrepreneurs. If you want the best experience as a nurse, go travel. Travel nursing was the best decision that we have done in our careers.

I am 52kilo and everyday I need to wash 136 kilo patient who can barely move and need to be push in a wheelchair. Aside from 3 others .
I feel I can’t get out of the profession cause I don’t know what else to do or how to earn in other means. I feel depressed but I have to go on be strong because I still need to care my kids at home. Many nurses get burn out . Why nobody listens to the grievances of nurses ???

If I can turn back time . I would not be a nurse .

Thanks alot but I want your speech along with your each ward show infront your vedio 🙏🙏

Thanks alot but I want your speech along with your each ward show infront your vedio 🙏🙏

thankyou for voice out !

Check Nurse Radonda first before studying nursing.

nurses are underpaid, overworked and Can be criminally convicted.
our Justice system and care facilities are not designed to protect and keep nurses safe.

I got applied to study nursing last year and i’m loving it. Definitely made the right choice!

Come work free over time 😂

I badly want to study nursing, huhuhu

Nursing sucks. Need unions to change this.

A nurse can become a nurse practitioner which is a form of a doctor and they can prescribe medications and also practice as a psychiatrist.

not in my plans to become a nurse. but I enjoy all the process and get the value of life that I never imagined before.

Thank you for your enlightening talk!! I am currently a critical care nurse; however, my first degree was a BA in theatre and dance. For many years I was a Broadway performer and at that time I could have never imagined my eventual path into the field of nursing. Due to my liberal arts background, I have always envisioned myself as an outsider in the hospital setting, as I see the world and the human condition through an alternate lens compared to many of my peers. I used to believe my abilities and worth as an RN were tethered to skills like inserting Foley catheters, IVs, titrating drips, etc.... but I have since learned that my main asset is the ability to communicate with and relate to others. This is not something I was taught in nursing school, rather it was realized through years of life experience. This career has humbled me to the Nth degree and left me with a deep realization that the human experience is beyond fragile. Somedays, it is very apparent that listening and actively communicating with a patient is by far the most powerful medicine they will receive during the course of their stay.

I’m Korean high school student and I have been thinking to be a nurse. All the people around me including even my homeroom teacher says to me things like “I don’t understand why you want to be a nurse. it’s horribly hard job.” Everytime I hear those things I become more and more scary and afraid of becoming a nurse and my worries getting bigger :( I don’t know what to do..

Thank you for honoring the power of nursing! I am a nurse and you are a shining light. You are sharing with us how we as nurses can make the world more comforting loving and caring.

What a BEAUTIFUL Description of Nurses. You put into words exactly how I feel about this profession I have now been in for 16 years . Thank you for the beautiful representation/ explanation to the world of who we Nurses are.

but for me nursing os like a curse I cant even share with my relatives that I am a nursing student even if I told them they started to show their fu..g face with their eyes down as they always expect me as a doctor unfortunately I became a nursing student I have no motivation at all so getting depressed day by day and also wants to become a MBBS student.😞😞😭

I LOVE this tedtalk! I have my nursing school interview this week and this has been extremely insightful and has even given me some amazing talking points.💗💗

Take it from a American bedside RN of 26 years.
Don’t get sick.

God Bless good nurses , even the not so good and CNA s and helpers . To take on the burden of a flawed humanity is no easy task.

2021 now. How right she was about tele medicine

The first time I had ever heard about Ted talks was studying to become a nurse assistant. I was the top student in my class and have had a thriving career as an LNA for 6 years.

This lady doesn’t look live a nurse 👩‍⚕️

The speaker is all over .. I wish this was better

I have just graduated from college of nursing, and I don't like this job because the stories l hared it before and iam so frustrated now, I will be a nurse after few months and I hope to do my best and like this job in the future ❤

I am 37. I have a BA. I want to go through the challenge. I have arthritis in my left knee. Is this going to make it impossible?

And , damn you are not a story teller !

Sorry, no way to be a real RN in one year. You will be set up to fail. It takes two years to understand the language alone. 35 years later I still learn something daily. Sounds like psych is your calling.

I am a proud student nurse😀

Nurse in a year? That's embarrassing, only in the States.
How such a complex profession can be done in just 12 months? A real nurse or a patient assitance? This is crazy!!!

The nurse stories in the comments are far more interesting, intriguing and inspiring than the speaker ☺️

the crowd looks so bored...like they might just fall asleep LOL

Beautiful Talk! Thank you!

I am 40 years old. Have been doing purchasing in Logistic. Currently, a student nurse in Singapore, in my second year. It is a calling for me when i choose to do nursing. I feel you Sana Goldberg. It is a fulfilling passion for me. I will not stop nursing. My wife followed my footstep and she is a nursing student now. I am proud of all for the nurses.

I am a Korean student who wants to be a nurse. Although it's hard to hear a lot about nursing jobs, working hours increase as soon as you hear about them. It is said that conflicts often occur between people who work in the same profession. Although there are many things under stress because of that kind of work, I am worried that I will be a nurse because I just want to help others, and I will be very tired.

Funny no reference to men in nursing. Try being a male nurse at dinner parties!!. The first nursing school in the world included men only and started as far back as 250 BC in India. Male nurses cared for troops during the Crusades in the 11th century and by 1870 it was still men that “staffed field hospitals” in the Franco Prussian War.
During World War I male nurses served on the frontline, helping the injured. But, though holding the same training and diplomas as their female equivalents, they were known as “orderlies” and were paid about half of what women were. Im a RN of 30 years one undergrad degree, two post grad degrees plus a Master of science. I earn in a year what a footballer in the UK earns in a day. My advice is if you hear it calling. RUN the other way and don't stop running.
