00:00:00.000 i mean usually if there's any job that has any work women just do it for a little bit and they 1.00
00:00:04.320 can't take it and leave we're just kind of lazy what up guys welcome to my reaction series so
00:00:09.440 when i was in school um i knew a lot of women that went to be nurses and they all had a ton 1.00
00:00:16.080 of debt but i think nursing is one of those professions where people do make their money
00:00:21.440 back eventually um because a lot of the nurses i knew were pretty high earning like i knew 0.98
00:00:26.560 a few of my friends' moms made like 150-ish. So as a nurse, it's pretty good. I don't know if
00:00:32.860 that's normal. But I guess now nurses are sick of being nurses. It's like one job where you make 1.00
00:00:39.760 your money back as a woman, women are quitting, apparently, at least on TikTok. So let's look at 1.00
00:00:44.560 these women, talk about why they're quitting their nursing jobs. My name is Sam. I'm an ER nurse. I
00:00:49.860 just quit my first nursing job. I just quit my first job ever, actually, ever in my entire life.
00:00:55.620 i actually have never wanted to quit a job ever i didn't even want to quit this job it was not
00:01:01.540 i'm imagining if nurses are toxic to date that's what you guys are known for they're probably toxic 1.00
00:01:06.260 to work with too usually the behavior just kind of follows the person until i got blatantly
00:01:11.860 disrespected for 10 minutes this is just a special reminder for everyone protect your peace okay
00:01:17.300 because i wish that i could fabricate the story in any type of way like i was in the wrong the
00:01:23.460 The fact of the matter is that I walked into that office that was blatantly disrespected.
00:01:27.860 And not only that, but then you interrupted me and you said, I can interrupt you anytime I want
00:01:32.720 and I'm going to do it again. When I proceeded to say, I don't think that this is a productive
00:01:36.780 conversation. And you said, I'm just having a conversation. Here's the thing also that I want
00:01:43.560 to. Yeah. Okay. Men know that they're going to be disrespected by their bosses sometimes. And
00:01:48.280 it's kind of your job just to eat shit. Women can't take it. They can't take the initial hazing. 1.00
00:01:52.760 so mention i wasn't gonna make a tiktok video about this at all because i am on the other hand
00:02:00.520 uh try to maintain a professional boundary of being respectful to other people and to other
00:02:07.460 businesses yeah you don't get boundaries at work quit rather than just nag hospitals okay 0.97
00:02:13.600 it wasn't until my manager said in this exact mannerism don't want to say that because don't
00:02:20.360 you to make another video about me bruh oh my god you should have been fired well i certainly am now
00:02:30.440 yeah i oh my god i can't believe she's making videos about her managers i think that we're
00:02:36.520 done here i don't think that that's there's nothing else there's literally nothing else
00:02:42.440 you just don't like me and that's fine she also oh my gosh that is crazy so tried to say that
00:02:50.040 she was the one that made the decision that i was quitting no no no baby i'm quitting
00:02:54.200 i'm doing it yeah now i'm gonna head out i just want to say cheers to that and well i look forward
00:03:02.440 to seeing how your unemployment takes you um a lot of times the grass isn't greener on the other side
00:03:07.160 but i hope it is for you okay this is a younger nurse she looks younger than the last girl
00:03:11.480 kind of the same age maybe she looks like she'd be gen z so tonight is my final shift
00:03:20.420 as a nurse and honestly i don't have a backup plan oh my god they know we never have a plan
00:03:31.000 oh i know you guys want me to stop banging on the table but i can't
00:03:36.860 i don't know what i really want to do and i don't know where to fully go from here
00:03:47.160 i quite honestly just feel like there's gotta be more to life than this i've been
00:03:54.640 so sick both physically and mentally and i just need to start taking care of myself
00:04:04.480 You know, I have a 10-month-old son at home, and I miss him, and I miss my husband.
00:04:11.600 Okay, this is an okay quitting story, so she wants to be home with her kid.
00:04:15.760 Okay.
00:04:16.140 That working three shifts a week, whether it's day or night, would be so ideal, but really
00:04:22.100 it just takes everything from you.
00:04:24.320 I currently work in labor and delivery and recovery and postpartum.
00:04:28.720 We do all of it, and it was like my dream job.
00:04:32.020 I kind of unexpectedly landed it.
00:04:34.180 It's pretty rare, actually, for a young mom to quit her job to focus on her kid.
00:04:38.760 Okay.
00:04:39.220 Okay, girl.
00:04:39.780 After I had my son, and it's been so rewarding in so many ways.
00:04:45.700 I work with an amazing team of people.
00:04:48.520 But at the end of the day, I am giving so much more to these moms. 0.98
00:04:54.040 Everything I have goes to these patients, and I'll sacrifice anything for them to the
00:04:59.660 point where I come home with nothing left.
00:05:03.180 I'm not eating.
00:05:03.840 I'm not sleeping. I've lost like 15 pounds in starting this job. My cycle is all out of whack.
00:05:13.320 Before shifts, sometimes I just, I, I feel like...
00:05:17.640 I probably wasn't that bad. She's probably over-exaggerating, but I am glad, you know,
00:05:22.300 should they say it takes everything out of me. I don't really know if working on a farm,
00:05:27.340 it would have been easier. I'm just being honest. That's what most of your ancestors did.
00:05:31.720 um you did have to do something historically hopeless i just know that i'm made for more
00:05:39.320 and i i don't know what that is yet i'm terrified i don't know come along with me on this journey
00:05:44.840 um i'm about to head in now and i am praying because they are already begging for help
00:05:50.840 i don't die tonight so let's do this
00:05:55.920 so i survived my last shift as a nurse it was pretty bad challenging first time labor i'm pretty
00:06:12.340 sure we almost pushed for four whole hours with like some breaks in between i'm so tired
00:06:19.400 maybe it's like an hour and a half later than i should be but i'm done i'm done
00:06:27.520 all right let's see the next one this girl's quitting her job so to everyone who saw my i 1.00
00:06:34.520 hate nursing video and if you didn't hi i'm margaret and i hate being a nurse i just wanted
00:06:39.440 to come on here and let you guys know that i have officially put in my resignation and quit my job
00:06:44.760 i honestly couldn't be more happy i am nurses are quitting so i mean usually if there's any
00:06:50.600 job that has any work women just do it for a little bit and they can't take it and leave 1.00
00:06:54.440 we're just kind of lazy you know um and maybe we're not meant to be under that much stress but
00:07:00.760 again you could say that maybe for like a ceo position but i just you guys tell me do you think
00:07:07.720 nurses really do that much work like it just seems like over exaggerated a little bit
00:07:13.080 it to be transitioning into clinical research and honestly if this does not work out it sounds like
00:07:20.860 it's going to be a pretty cool opportunity but if this doesn't work out I'm done with nursing
00:07:25.580 this is my last chance and honestly a lot of your comments are kind of what got me here and gave me
00:07:32.500 the confidence and like push to really change my life so I just want to thank everybody who came
00:07:38.620 on here and supported me and validated my feelings and i just want to send you guys all my
00:07:45.080 love and i'll keep you guys posted so to everyone who saw my all right let's see how it's going so
00:07:52.000 they always say bigger and better things but then they say they have no plan oh my god now she's
00:07:58.180 going bald that's the bigger and better thing going bald okay super liberal oh my god six
00:08:08.080 months ago i got on this app yeah again half the time when these women are saying their jobs are 1.00
00:08:12.720 so hard they're not that hard they just like whining so again a lot of these women haven't 1.00
00:08:18.240 had canon events yet where like it puts things into perspective like how privileged they are as
00:08:24.400 women and a lot of times it really does take a canon event to do that and they just haven't gone 1.00
00:08:29.120 through it yet um some of them never will you see a lot of boomer women that just really have never 1.00
00:08:33.920 grown up. Um, anyways, guys, I love you. Thanks so much for watching. I talk shit on the internet
