    1. Pag nurse ba abroad nagpapalit pa din ng diaper o di na?

      Delete
    2. Dito sa canada pag sa hospital ka nag wo-work magpapalit ka ng pads pero sa long term care hindi na pero more on medication pass ka. Kung sa hospital 4-5 patients ang hawak mo sa long term care naman 15 tapos taga bigay ka ng gamot saka more on management may psw ka kaya hindi ka gagawa ng care. Ito po ay experience ko dito hindi ko alam sa iba

    3. Nope. Nursing aides gumagawa nyan.

      Delete
    4. May nursing aid or health tech na gumagawa nyan, bec nurses are busy giving meds, entering notes in the computer, dealing with families and doctors and attend critical episodes. They can still give physical care but usually its nursing aids, they just supervised. Nurses gets more vacation times than doctors or other hospital staff. I salute them, it takes someone special to do bedside nursing. Some goes to nursing to do office works with same benefits but not as fullfilling.

    5. Yes, we do everything. I work in ICU. Magpaligo, magpalit ng diaper and everything.! Trabaho namin lahat yan.

    6. Not all nurses in America change diapers. There are soft nursing they work in offices, medical practice and clinics. They earn over 100k a year. There are two types of nurses in the US, the RNs and LVNs/LPNs. Lots of LPNs earn more than RNs not working on the floor, they work in offices and less stressed out. Most RNs are on the floor, they get paid good also. Nurses are paid so well in the US depending also on what department you work. The problem is a lot of Filipina nurses married to men who don’t work or don’t earn well. They are the providers in their home.

    7. I was an office nurse we don’t change pads. Paid so good but sitting all day is not for me. It wasn’t healthy, I went back to the floor.

    8. Nursing goes far beyond just bedside care or changing pads - that’s an outdated and narrow view of the profession. Nurses play vital roles across a wide range of settings. Besides working in hospitals, wards, or nursing homes, nurses are involved in, they also do Advanced Practice Roles like Nurse Practitioners, Nurse Specialists, and Nurse Anaesthetists (especially in the US, where nurse anaesthetists often earn more than UK consultants), Research Nurse (clinical or academia), Public Health Nurse, Mental Health Nurse, Occupational Health Nurse, School and Pediatric Nurse, Dental Nurse, Digital Nurse, Telehealth and Informatics Nurse.

    9. I like her she seems humble. Ang daming pabebeng nurses dito sa America yung napaka show off lalo na new nurses. Halata mo bagong nurse tas nanibago. Showy sa social media tas ang hahambog. Tas waley naman pala pag pinuntahan mo sa bahay nila ang gulo tas may ibang asawa nila naka asa sa kanila. Veteran nurses may mga hambog rin pero most of the time alam na nila mga style na ganyan.

    10. I am Filipino and studied nursing in America. When I went in to the workforce I can see the difference of the ones trained here and trained in the Philippines. Trust me when I say lots of nurses in the Philippines are not trained well, they lag and just in it for the money. They gossip a lot and always in a hurry to leave work.

    11. Yes here in the UK we do everything, mag wash ng patients, magpalit ng pad, mag linis ng poopoo, mag empty ng stoma bag, mag serve ng tea, mag assist ng patient papunta ng toilet, mag assist in feeding kapag may difficulty swallowing, mag change ng linens nila. Take note, nasa hospital kme ah hindi sa care home. I can’t wait to move to the US. Nurses in the UK are not respected.

    12. Nurses still do a lot of patient care especially when there is short staffing and walang care aides to do the personal care of patients/residents in nursing home.

      ICU and ER nurses do everything, ICU one to one usually ang ratio of patients to nurse because the patient is very unstable and critical so hihingi lang ng help from the care aide kapag kelangan mag-turn ng patient, pero they do everything for the patient. Same for ER nurses. They're trained to work under the most stressful situations and they usually do the pad changes themselves instead of waiting for help because things need to be done asap. Nurse/care aides in the ER usually just do the simpler stuff like give the meal trays or help the patient go to the bathroom.

    13. 1:06 mostly health care aides. Pero if busy naman sila tapos un pt is nakaka tayo and lakad naman, if nadaanan ko , I just help put on the pull ups tapos tatayo naman un pt and sila mag hila ng pull ups nila. Hinihikayat pa din maging independent ang pts dito. Pero if heavy care, mostly 2 person assist na un.

    14. Ginagawa parin ng nurse kahit may nursing aide
      Dahil minsan ang patiente ay 2 person assist

      Delete
    15. 1:06, sa US hindi. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and nagpapaligo at nagpapalit ng diaper ng pasyente.

      Delete
    16. @1:45. 30 patients max for long term care… too much!

      Delete
    17. Nurse sa KSA, kami ang nagpapalit ng diaper dito.. walang CNA sa dati kong hospital. Good thing nalipat ako NICU, kahit 10 beses magpalit ng diaper ok lang kasi naranasan ko na mag handle ng adult at pediatric patients

  2. Masarap naman talaga. Lalo pag nakita mo nagimprove yung patient not just physically but on other aspects as well. Yung marinig mo nga lang sila mag thank you sayo minsan nakakagaan na ng pakiramdam...

  3. I’m old enough to remember kung gaano kasuplada si Princess noon. Time humbled her.

    1. True ba na suplada siya? I Never met her so i dunno. Baka naman nag iingat lang siya before kasi galit mga tao sa kanya at may nananakit talaga na fans.

    2. Mabait naman talaga sya, to begin with.

    3. Pinalo sya ng isang old lady ng payong habang naglalakad sa mall.

    4. Parang di naman? Alam ko kontrabida role but not suplada in real life.

      Delete
    5. Sino ka naman kasi para pansinin niya? Magkakilala ba kayo? Di ka lang binati suplada na

    6. Ang naaalala ko sa kanya nagpa abort sya

  4. True if the nurse has the same motivation and dedication as you. Most of the nurses nowadays are only doing it for the money and not because they care about people. A lot of times they’re cold and only care about finishing their tasks without going overtime.

    1. totoo eto 😊

    2. Agree. Ganyan naranasan ko sa mamahalin pang ospital

    3. you don’t know how difficult and overworked nurses are. I understand na you have to be caring and all, but let’s not deny the fact na the world of healthcare is very draining, mentally, physicall, and emotionally exhausting. Try it so you will know

      Delete
    4. Sa lahat naman ng trabaho ay ganyan. Kaya nagtatrabaho ang tao ay dahil sa perang kikitain pambayad ng mga gastusin. Pero lahat ay "next".

    5. Totoo yan. Panay reklamo at gusto umuwi, bakasyon, shopping.

  5. Laki ng sahod ng nurse sa US. They have the ability purchase a house in just a year or two

    1. Ngeh utang yun. Payable in 25-30 years. Hindi yun mababayaran ng 2 years lang dahil ang presyo ng bahay sa Amerika ay nagtaasan na at nakakalula. People can buy everything on credit. Kaya tao kayod kalabaw

      Delete
    2. Oo, Malaki ang sahod, pero mataas din ang cost of living sa US. Pero depende pa din iyan kung saan State sya nakatira.

      Delete
    3. 1:09, hindi naman porket sinabi na “purchase a home” ay ibig sabihin binayaran ng cash. Cash or loan man yun ay kailangan pa ding mag ipon ng pang down payment at ng closing cost.

      Delete
    4. Baka ang ibig sabihin ni 12:46 AM eh makapag- ipon ng downpayment for the mortgage

      Delete
    5. The highest paid nurses are in California. But California has high cost of living. That is why it is a status quo if you own houses or properties here. Not all can afford a house. A one bedroom one bath house ranges 500-600k. They say if you are making it in California you are really doing well coz lots of people move to other states because they can’t afford California. The thing I noticed here is the whites own lots of properties especially in mountain areas, they are lowkey though.

    6. Depends which state and city coz houses in most US states are cheap compare to the houses in Toronto & Vancouver, Canada.

    7. Mahirap trabaho ng nurse sa US. Kung tutuusin maliit ang sweldo sa hirap ng trabaho. And you have to deal with different people. Yung iba sobrang evil like the one who physically assaulted a nurse in Florida and she sustained critical injuries.

      Delete
    8. sa US you can buy a house maski di ka nurse basta u got the right credit score, w/ stable job, may pang downpayment,loan naman yan, 25-30 yrs babayaran ang mortgage.

  6. I worked with her at one point. She’s very very compassionate. The way she cared for the patients nya nakakabilib. She was also so kind and so humble. Far from the character that she used to portray on TV.

  7. Being a nurse or any medical field as a profession very useful sa family mo . You can apply ang knowledge na pag aralan mo in case may nagkasakit sa family mo.
