5
00:00:13,533 --> 00:00:15,700

high-paying travel contracts.

Some nurses are making over 

63
00:01:57,466 --> 00:01:58,967
$10000 per contract, but of 

64
00:01:58,967 --> 00:02:00,433
course, these are some pretty 

65
00:02:00,433 --> 00:02:02,000
high-risk assignments. So is it 

66
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,400
worth it And what comes with 

67
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,900

00:02:05,966 --> 00:02:09,966
better digest. At as well, 

70
00:02:09,966 --> 00:02:11,000
we’ll be talking about whole 

71
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,266
Kobe vaccine roll out. How’s it 

72
00:02:13,266 --> 00:02:15,433
going the goal was initially to 

73
00:02:15,433 --> 00:02:19,466
have 20000000 people um 

74
00:02:19,466 --> 00:02:20,800
vaccinated by January and we’re 

75
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,433
just shy of 5005000000. So 

76
00:02:23,433 --> 00:02:24,800
what’s going on with that and 

77
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,934
how can we as nurses help to 

78
00:02:26,934 --> 00:02:30,000
make that a better situation? 

79
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,432
um and you know what with that 

80
00:02:32,432 --> 00:02:35,466
roll out? I have to say and I 

81
00:02:35,466 --> 00:02:36,199
will get into this later but I 

82
00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:39,599
feel like. Had we’ve been 

83
00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:41,866
entrusted with designing the 

84
00:02:41,866 --> 00:02:42,600
roll out process? I think we’d 

85
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,466
be a lot further along but 

86
00:02:44,466 --> 00:02:45,532

89
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:50,966
share with you um because it’s 

90
00:02:50,966 --> 00:02:51,433

105
00:03:31,099 --> 00:03:32,434
making lots of noises for you. 

106
00:03:32,434 --> 00:03:34,000
I’m really excited about that 

107
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,133

108
00:03:36,133 --> 00:03:38,000

these trends. look at that. 

113
00:03:48,466 --> 00:03:50,933
Last twenty something years

most honest and ethical 

117
00:03:56,899 --> 00:03:58,900
professions, which translates 

118
00:03:58,900 --> 00:04:01,067
to being the most trusted. Can 

119
00:04:01,067 --> 00:04:03,233

just the largest segment of the 

123
00:04:06,966 --> 00:04:08,667
health care workforce. We’re 

124
00:04:08,667 --> 00:04:11,667
there 24/7 365 days out of the 

125
00:04:11,667 --> 00:04:14,000
year holding hands helping 

126
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,234
people to the bathroom you know 

127
00:04:15,234 --> 00:04:15,932
everything and anything that 

128
00:04:15,932 --> 00:04:19,133
you. Due to take care of 

129
00:04:19,133 --> 00:04:21,266
someone we have been trusted 

130
00:04:21,266 --> 00:04:22,167
with caring for people and 

131
00:04:22,167 --> 00:04:23,233
they’re most vulnerable stages 

132
00:04:23,233 --> 00:04:25,599
of life. whether that’s 

133
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:26,866
entering life if you’re in 

134
00:04:26,866 --> 00:04:28,100
labor and delivering to maybe 

135
00:04:28,100 --> 00:04:29,566
sometimes holding someone’s 

136
00:04:29,566 --> 00:04:30,766
hand when they’re taking their 

137
00:04:30,766 --> 00:04:33,133
final breath, we are there and 

138
00:04:33,133 --> 00:04:35,967
we have been the most trusted 

139
00:04:35,967 --> 00:04:38,434
profession. so you know what 

140
00:04:38,434 --> 00:04:39,933
congratulations and we love the 

141
00:04:39,933 --> 00:04:43,199
gals. I mean mind you. there’s 

142
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:45,300
no conflict of interest. We are 

143
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:47,133
not paying the gallops anything 

144
00:04:47,133 --> 00:04:49,000
so it’s truly objective. And 

145
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,900
you know legit legit um, but I 

146
00:04:51,900 --> 00:04:53,232
think it’s very much worth 

147
00:04:53,232 --> 00:04:54,799
saying Congratulations nurses 

148
00:04:54,799 --> 00:04:55,467
you guys have been doing an 

149
00:04:55,467 --> 00:04:57,966
awesome job have risen to the 

150
00:04:57,966 --> 00:05:01,067
occasions and um the poll show 

151
00:05:01,067 --> 00:05:02,400
so it’s all in the data right. 

152
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,399
Everything’s evidence-based. 

153
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:06,767
there’s some evidence um and I 

154
00:05:06,767 --> 00:05:09,066
would think that being that 

155
00:05:09,066 --> 00:05:10,900
trusted profession over so many 

156
00:05:10,900 --> 00:05:12,900
years kinda makes us 

157
00:05:12,900 --> 00:05:16,599
superheroes. I think so um and 

158
00:05:16,599 --> 00:05:17,567
speaking of superheroes take a 

159
00:05:17,567 --> 00:05:20,899
look at this. 

160
00:05:39,432 --> 00:05:41,000
So um have you guys ever seen a 

161
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,567
comic book with nurses in it? I 

162
00:05:43,567 --> 00:05:45,933
think that finally we’re 

163
00:05:45,933 --> 00:05:48,067
starting to see something where 

164
00:05:48,067 --> 00:05:50,000
the real life heroes are 

165
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,999
getting to be recognized in the 

166
00:05:52,999 --> 00:05:55,533
comic book world um superheroes 

167
00:05:55,533 --> 00:05:56,166
and I think that’s great and 

168
00:05:56,166 --> 00:05:58,266
although we don’t wear colorful 

169
00:05:58,266 --> 00:06:00,133
costumes or swing from rooftops 

170
00:06:00,133 --> 00:06:02,266
or climb tall buildings without 

171
00:06:02,266 --> 00:06:03,733
a rope or a single leaf. 

172
00:06:03,733 --> 00:06:04,466
although I think that we could 

173
00:06:04,466 --> 00:06:06,533
cuz you know nurses were really 

174
00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:07,333
good at stuff um and we don’t 

175
00:06:07,333 --> 00:06:09,466
go by. Monitors like Captain 

176
00:06:09,466 --> 00:06:11,399
America, Black Panther or she 

177
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:13,633
hulk, although we might may on 

178
00:06:13,633 --> 00:06:15,867
Instagram but everyday in the 

179
00:06:15,867 --> 00:06:17,366
communities across our nation, 

180
00:06:17,366 --> 00:06:18,933
you all nurses are performing 

181
00:06:18,933 --> 00:06:21,666
heroic work and often a great 

182
00:06:21,666 --> 00:06:23,132
risk to yourselves um and all 

183
00:06:23,132 --> 00:06:24,499
to help take care of patients 

184
00:06:24,499 --> 00:06:26,900
even in very high highly 

185
00:06:26,900 --> 00:06:29,533
contagious endanger situations 

186
00:06:29,533 --> 00:06:31,233
uh nurses work long shifts and 

187
00:06:31,233 --> 00:06:32,800
many of you with young families 

188
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,900
and caring for aging parents. 

189
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:37,467
Uh you pray alongside families 

190
00:06:37,467 --> 00:06:38,133
who can’t be at the bedside 

191
00:06:38,133 --> 00:06:39,000
with their loved ones at the 

192
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,433
end of life. And we go, we do 

193
00:06:42,433 --> 00:06:44,267
some drastic things for our 

194
00:06:44,267 --> 00:06:45,267
patients and we do some drastic 

195
00:06:45,267 --> 00:06:46,667
things to get the job done. so 

196
00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:48,432
some of you all and there’s 

197
00:06:48,432 --> 00:06:49,066
actually a nurse who’s done 

198
00:06:49,066 --> 00:06:50,466
this may even shave your head. 

199
00:06:50,466 --> 00:06:51,432
So that’s one last thing you 

200
00:06:51,432 --> 00:06:53,067
have to worry about as you’re 

201
00:06:53,067 --> 00:06:54,467

202
00:06:54,467 --> 00:06:57,966
and because has swept the US 

203
00:06:57,966 --> 00:06:59,400
impacting millions of people 

204
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,900
and leaving over 350000 people 

205
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:04,632
dead. These are some very hard 

206
00:07:04,632 --> 00:07:06,200
times for you. I know you’re 

207
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,833
working hard you’re working 

208
00:07:07,833 --> 00:07:09,433
with limited resources, you’re 

209
00:07:09,433 --> 00:07:10,966
making a way out of no way and 

210
00:07:10,966 --> 00:07:14,666
not only do I. You but the 

211
00:07:14,666 --> 00:07:18,000
United States the world you and 

212
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,500
the world is realizing that 

213
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:22,266
nurses truly are um some real 

214
00:07:22,266 --> 00:07:23,733
time heroes and I have several 

215
00:07:23,733 --> 00:07:24,899
colleagues who I could name 

216
00:07:24,899 --> 00:07:27,433
that are truly heroes in my 

217
00:07:27,433 --> 00:07:29,233
eyes and because you guys are 

218
00:07:29,233 --> 00:07:31,467
so much heroes. I mean it’s 

219
00:07:31,467 --> 00:07:32,800
captured the attention of so 

220
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,466
many people so much so that 

221
00:07:34,466 --> 00:07:36,966
Marvel has partnered with 

222
00:07:36,966 --> 00:07:38,633
Albany Health Network to honor 

223
00:07:38,633 --> 00:07:41,066
nurses in their new Marvel 

224
00:07:41,066 --> 00:07:42,200
comic book series called the 

225
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,700
Vitals. Now I have. Guess who’s 

226
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:46,167
gonna be coming to chat with us 

227
00:07:46,167 --> 00:07:49,399
about this collaboration? Tracy 

228
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:50,400
Hines. She’s a nursing manager 

229
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,367
at Albany Health Network, but 

230
00:07:52,367 --> 00:07:53,933
first I want you to take a look 

231
00:07:53,933 --> 00:07:56,466
at this very touching video of 

232
00:07:56,466 --> 00:07:59,967
her and her colleagues um with 

233
00:07:59,967 --> 00:08:01,932
their family talking about 

234
00:08:01,932 --> 00:08:04,966
showing the comic book to their 

235
00:08:04,966 --> 00:08:08,699
families. Take a look at this. 

236
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,500
Our mom, my dad, my mom is a 

237
00:08:12,500 --> 00:08:18,333
nurse she takes care of people. 

238
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:21,467
I’m worried as the if Coven 

239
00:08:21,467 --> 00:08:23,033
might get them, sometimes it’s 

240
00:08:23,033 --> 00:08:25,400
like we wake up and see her and 

241
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,366
sometimes we don’t what if she 

242
00:08:27,366 --> 00:08:30,000
gets over, you didn’t see her 

243
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,233
for like 2 months. 

244
00:08:34,066 --> 00:08:36,133
My dad is super brave and she’s 

245
00:08:36,133 --> 00:08:38,233
working her butt off just to 

246
00:08:38,233 --> 00:08:39,933
help other people. She is 

247
00:08:39,933 --> 00:08:42,633
working very hard to help 

248
00:08:42,633 --> 00:08:44,000
people who are really sick. It 

249
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
makes me feel good that she’s 

250
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,200
being able to help. 

251
00:09:09,467 --> 00:09:12,600
Oh my god. 

252
00:09:12,933 --> 00:09:18,000
It’s a comic book, Marvel the 

253
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,966
Bible stories some of my mommy 

254
00:09:22,966 --> 00:09:24,967
today, she says She has a 

255
00:09:24,967 --> 00:09:27,133
surprise and tells me to close 

256
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:29,400
my eyes when I finally take the 

257
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,032
small I see my hand for the 

258
00:09:33,032 --> 00:09:35,366
first time a week just doing my 

259
00:09:35,366 --> 00:09:37,967
job, she replies and she smiles 

260
00:09:37,967 --> 00:09:39,233
at me with those smiling eyes. 

261
00:09:39,233 --> 00:09:42,433
Sorry. 

262
00:09:43,067 --> 00:09:45,099

263
00:09:45,099 --> 00:09:48,767

264
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,232
people better? Yeah, you’re my 

265
00:09:51,232 --> 00:09:54,333
girl. 

266
00:10:17,066 --> 00:10:18,467
Oh my gosh, that’s so touching 

267
00:10:18,467 --> 00:10:19,733
I literally was about to cry 

268
00:10:19,733 --> 00:10:21,400
again. Um I’ve cried watching 

269
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,933
that, but please welcome to the 

270
00:10:23,933 --> 00:10:25,933

00:10:29,532 --> 00:10:31,667
That’s very touching and I 

274
00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:33,733
believe that’s I mean the I 

275
00:10:33,733 --> 00:10:34,800
don’t know sometimes I get 

276
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,100
gives me all the feels because 

277
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:38,467
that’s the you know the art of 

278
00:10:38,467 --> 00:10:39,899
caring that we finally see you 

279
00:10:39,899 --> 00:10:41,600
know nurses. We do so much for 

280
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,434
others but to see you know the 

281
00:10:43,434 --> 00:10:44,266
family members and the children 

282
00:10:44,266 --> 00:10:46,733
with their parents. That their 

283
00:10:46,733 --> 00:10:48,266
heroes was very something very 

284
00:10:48,266 --> 00:10:50,532
special. so um can you tell us 

285
00:10:50,532 --> 00:10:54,433
a little bit about how this 

286
00:10:54,433 --> 00:10:56,133
collaboration came to be sure 

287
00:10:56,133 --> 00:10:57,133
it was actually really 

288
00:10:57,133 --> 00:10:58,699
interesting in the beginning 

289
00:10:58,699 --> 00:11:00,000
because they had asked us those 

290
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,600
of us with children under age, 

291
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,033
like twelve and under if our 

292
00:11:04,033 --> 00:11:05,333
kids wanted to participate in 

293
00:11:05,333 --> 00:11:07,733
like a um kids say the hardest 

294
00:11:07,733 --> 00:11:08,400
thing so they really didn’t 

295
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,400
tell us in the beginning what 

296
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,000
it was about um and my 11 year 

297
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,133
old, he’s usually kind of a 

298
00:11:14,133 --> 00:11:15,000
jokester. so I was like, oh 

299
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,633
hell. Good at this, you know so 

300
00:11:17,633 --> 00:11:19,466
um I really really didn’t. I 

301
00:11:19,466 --> 00:11:20,366
put in and everything I didn’t 

302
00:11:20,366 --> 00:11:21,633
think we were gonna get picked 

303
00:11:21,633 --> 00:11:23,566
but we did so and then they 

304
00:11:23,566 --> 00:11:25,333
send us everything to tape and 

305
00:11:25,333 --> 00:11:26,033
they’re asking questions and 

306
00:11:26,033 --> 00:11:27,800
they started asking the kids 

307
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,233
questions about your mom as a 

308
00:11:29,233 --> 00:11:30,467
nurse or your dad’s, a nurse 

309
00:11:30,467 --> 00:11:33,433
and how is that and you know um 

310
00:11:33,433 --> 00:11:35,566
everything about what they 

311
00:11:35,566 --> 00:11:37,966
thought and then whenever we 

312
00:11:37,966 --> 00:11:40,000
finally they, they told us they 

313
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,600
kept the comic book and a 

314
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,733
sealed envelope when they sent 

315
00:11:43,733 --> 00:11:45,466
us um certain things to film. 

316
00:11:45,466 --> 00:11:47,467
And um cuz everything was done 

317
00:11:47,467 --> 00:11:49,566
by zoom just because of coveted 

318
00:11:49,566 --> 00:11:51,566
reasons, but so they had sent 

319
00:11:51,566 --> 00:11:53,166
in a sealed envelope and they 

320
00:11:53,166 --> 00:11:54,467
told they told us open the 

321
00:11:54,467 --> 00:11:57,133
envelope until they instructed 

322
00:11:57,133 --> 00:11:59,100
us to so um we really just 

323
00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:01,100
found out whenever we opened 

324
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:02,966
it. That’s when it um everybody 

325
00:12:02,966 --> 00:12:05,100
realized what was going on and 

326
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:07,199
we pulled it out and I was 

327
00:12:07,199 --> 00:12:09,367
like, Oh wow a comic book and I 

328
00:12:09,367 --> 00:12:10,167
thought it was it was a comic 

329
00:12:10,167 --> 00:12:10,866
book for the I really still 

330
00:12:10,866 --> 00:12:12,766
didn’t dawn on me what it was 

331
00:12:12,766 --> 00:12:13,232
about um until we started 

332
00:12:13,232 --> 00:12:16,467
looking at it. Reading it and 

333
00:12:16,467 --> 00:12:18,932
as we were reading and I was in 

334
00:12:18,932 --> 00:12:21,400
my head of like wait, This is 

335
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,000
really something I mean, and 

336
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,600
then I had to look at the front 

337
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,866
again cuz I’m like Marvel and 

338
00:12:26,866 --> 00:12:28,767
that’s what the Allegheny 

339
00:12:28,767 --> 00:12:31,166
Health Network um partnered 

340
00:12:31,166 --> 00:12:32,633
together to do this. It’s still 

341
00:12:32,633 --> 00:12:34,566
kind of didn’t dawn on me, 

342
00:12:34,566 --> 00:12:37,133
sometimes I’m not the sharpest 

343
00:12:37,133 --> 00:12:39,566
tech that you didn’t know that 

344
00:12:39,566 --> 00:12:41,400
this was actually going to be a 

345
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,433
comic book now. Wow. Yeah, we 

346
00:12:43,433 --> 00:12:45,733
found out like when you. Those 

347
00:12:45,733 --> 00:12:47,933
are real reactions whenever 

348
00:12:47,933 --> 00:12:49,432
they play that video. That’s 

349
00:12:49,432 --> 00:12:51,333
all real. We’ve we all opened 

350
00:12:51,333 --> 00:12:53,667
it as we were filming and yeah, 

351
00:12:53,667 --> 00:12:55,133
we didn’t know anything about 

352
00:12:55,133 --> 00:12:58,500
it. Um yeah, let me ask you cuz

00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,400
superheroes It’s pretty amazing 

370
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:31,100
cuz like you had mentioned 

371
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:33,300
before it was the year of the 

372
00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:34,566
nurse and I think that there 

373
00:13:34,566 --> 00:13:35,367
was so many celebrations 

374
00:13:35,367 --> 00:13:38,434
planned for nursing in twenty 

375
00:13:38,434 --> 00:13:40,966
uh and then all this hits so 

376
00:13:40,966 --> 00:13:41,833
and every week we have a second 

377
00:13:41,833 --> 00:13:43,966
way of coming now and so 

378
00:13:43,966 --> 00:13:47,100
everybody’s really stressed and 

379
00:13:47,100 --> 00:13:48,866
overworked and emotionally 

380
00:13:48,866 --> 00:13:49,500
stressed and physically 

381
00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:53,366
stressed and. Um so when they 

382
00:13:53,366 --> 00:13:56,033
brought this out they um it was 

383
00:13:56,033 --> 00:13:58,500
like early December, I think it 

384
00:13:58,500 --> 00:14:00,000
was when they put it out it 

385
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,434
just everybody in the hospital 

386
00:14:01,434 --> 00:14:03,233
was just amazed and everybody 

387
00:14:03,233 --> 00:14:04,532
was talking about it. Everybody 

388
00:14:04,532 --> 00:14:07,966
was kind of flying high on you 

389
00:14:07,966 --> 00:14:09,432
know, like thinking. Wow. This 

390
00:14:09,432 --> 00:14:12,433
is amazing that our employer 

391
00:14:12,433 --> 00:14:14,432
would do this. It just makes 

392
00:14:14,432 --> 00:14:16,466
you feel valued and it makes 

393
00:14:16,466 --> 00:14:17,900
you feel appreciated and that’s 

394
00:14:17,900 --> 00:14:19,333
the words I heard a lot of the 

395
00:14:19,333 --> 00:14:22,000
nurses saying yeah and I bet. 

396
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,466
At a time where morale can 

397
00:14:24,466 --> 00:14:26,899
probably be low at times 

398
00:14:26,899 --> 00:14:29,432
considering the work 

399
00:14:29,432 --> 00:14:31,467
conditions, how are things uh 

400
00:14:31,467 --> 00:14:33,867
considering coveted and 

401
00:14:33,867 --> 00:14:34,533
everything that’s happening. 

402
00:14:34,533 --> 00:14:36,500
How are your nurses and your 

403
00:14:36,500 --> 00:14:37,900
staff holding up Well, you 

404
00:14:37,900 --> 00:14:39,800
know, nurses are resilient so 

405
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,566
we are um we just find a way to 

406
00:14:43,566 --> 00:14:45,499
do it. You know, I’m I’m not 

407
00:14:45,499 --> 00:14:47,034
also gonna sugar coat a lot of 

408
00:14:47,034 --> 00:14:47,566
it either. A lot of us are 

409
00:14:47,566 --> 00:14:50,400
stressed and a lot of people 

410
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,000
are um. Feeling it you know and 

411
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,466
just maybe the morale maybe 

412
00:14:57,466 --> 00:15:00,167
isn’t as good as it was, But II 

413
00:15:00,167 --> 00:15:01,933
don’t think that’s because of I 

414
00:15:01,933 --> 00:15:03,400
think that’s just because of 

415
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,433
what’s happening with covet. 

416
00:15:04,433 --> 00:15:05,933
It’s not for any other reason. 

417
00:15:05,933 --> 00:15:08,400
It’s just that everybody it’s 

418
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,166
been going on so long that I 

419
00:15:11,166 --> 00:15:13,499
think here’s a break. What’s 

420
00:15:13,499 --> 00:15:15,100
up? We’re fatigue. We’re we’re 

421
00:15:15,100 --> 00:15:17,700
getting tired. Yeah we are we 

422
00:15:17,700 --> 00:15:20,500
are now um so this initial 

423
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:21,667
comic book came out now are 

424
00:15:21,667 --> 00:15:24,500
there plans for. A series I 

425
00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:25,266
understand that there are eight 

426
00:15:25,266 --> 00:15:29,133
nurses who are followed in the 

427
00:15:29,133 --> 00:15:31,266
superhero story um can you tell 

428
00:15:31,266 --> 00:15:32,699
me a little bit about some of 

429
00:15:32,699 --> 00:15:35,033
the other characters and what 

430
00:15:35,033 --> 00:15:37,966
what we can um expect to see in 

431
00:15:37,966 --> 00:15:40,566
twenty-one when it comes to uh 

432
00:15:40,566 --> 00:15:42,866
the the uh they haven’t said 

433
00:15:42,866 --> 00:15:44,434
anything although you know uh, 

434
00:15:44,434 --> 00:15:46,000
I really think that it would be 

435
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,999
really great if they would um 

436
00:15:48,999 --> 00:15:52,500
also honor the other heroes in 

437
00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:53,333
the hospital setting uh the 

438
00:15:53,333 --> 00:15:56,533
housekeepers. Oh, yeah 

439
00:15:56,533 --> 00:15:57,800
transporters the nursing 

440
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,000
assistant Um you know they’re 

441
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,467
all in there too and we 

442
00:16:01,467 --> 00:16:03,066
certainly couldn’t do any of 

443
00:16:03,066 --> 00:16:05,499
this without all of them so it 

444
00:16:05,499 --> 00:16:07,066
would be really nice if they 

445
00:16:07,066 --> 00:16:08,000
could do something like that. 

446
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,532
Um my son also said maybe a 

447
00:16:10,532 --> 00:16:12,133
movie would be nice Whoo. I’d 

448
00:16:12,133 --> 00:16:13,533
love to see a movie a nurse 

449
00:16:13,533 --> 00:16:15,066
This can you imagine that like 

450
00:16:15,066 --> 00:16:16,233
isn’t that how it usually 

451
00:16:16,233 --> 00:16:17,366
starts it goes from comic book 

452
00:16:17,366 --> 00:16:19,966
and then it go into a movie Um 

453
00:16:19,966 --> 00:16:22,866
yeah, I think that I would talk 

454
00:16:22,866 --> 00:16:24,399
to your boss about um getting 

455
00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:26,267
you know. I don’t know who we 

456
00:16:26,267 --> 00:16:27,833
work with Mark. Yeah, the 

457
00:16:27,833 --> 00:16:29,500
Marvel and I’m like, Oh, could 

458
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:31,366
you imagine that nurses in 

459
00:16:31,366 --> 00:16:33,633
there with I think it’s doable. 

460
00:16:33,633 --> 00:16:39,100
I mean well so um and before I 

461
00:16:39,100 --> 00:16:40,600
let you go just um I think this 

462
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,066
was a great gesture. It’s it’s 

463
00:16:43,066 --> 00:16:44,466
definitely some feel good 

464
00:16:44,466 --> 00:16:45,933
material to help inspire 

465
00:16:45,933 --> 00:16:47,666
nurses, especially during this 

466
00:16:47,666 --> 00:16:49,666
time when sometimes our song a 

467
00:16:49,666 --> 00:16:52,399
little bit low. um I know as 

468
00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:55,033
we’re watching that video uh. 

469
00:16:55,033 --> 00:16:57,100
The nurses was reading the 

470
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:59,400
comic books to the the kids 

471
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,466
they mentioned you know I 

472
00:17:00,466 --> 00:17:02,067
hadn’t seen my their their 

473
00:17:02,067 --> 00:17:03,732
parent in weeks and things like 

474
00:17:03,732 --> 00:17:05,932
that I mean any parting words 

475
00:17:05,932 --> 00:17:08,532
of encouragement for um I know 

476
00:17:08,532 --> 00:17:09,532
you’re a nurse manager of your 

477
00:17:09,532 --> 00:17:10,500
unit, but let’s get let’s make 

478
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:12,400
you a universal nurse manager 

479
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,000
right now on Facebook. What 

480
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,067
would you say to the thousands 

481
00:17:17,067 --> 00:17:19,433
millions of nurses and nursing 

482
00:17:19,433 --> 00:17:21,700
students? uh out there during 

483
00:17:21,700 --> 00:17:24,033
this time? I would probably say 

484
00:17:24,033 --> 00:17:26,466
what I tell myself all the time 

485
00:17:26,466 --> 00:17:28,400
is that we decided to go into 

486
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:29,467
this profession for a reason 

487
00:17:29,467 --> 00:17:32,133
and people need us and we need 

488
00:17:32,133 --> 00:17:34,400
to be strong and we’re in this 

489
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,000
together and nobody’s here by 

490
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:37,600
themselves. and so if we all 

491
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,566
work together we can make 

492
00:17:41,566 --> 00:17:43,166
differences nurses make things 

493
00:17:43,166 --> 00:17:44,566
happen all the time and we 

494
00:17:44,566 --> 00:17:46,467
figure out ways to make things 

495
00:17:46,467 --> 00:17:47,932
happen. So let’s just all go 

496
00:17:47,932 --> 00:17:49,333
out. Let’s make this happen. 

497
00:17:49,333 --> 00:17:50,433
Let’s get this done. Let’s get 

498
00:17:50,433 --> 00:17:53,400
it over with and let’s. Move on 

499
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,000

I wanted to tap into a topic 

552
00:19:36,432 --> 00:19:38,067
before I bring in my in my 

553
00:19:38,067 --> 00:19:40,267
guest you guys we have been um 

554
00:19:40,267 --> 00:19:42,532
obviously amidst coveted. We 

555
00:19:42,532 --> 00:19:44,966
have vaccine that’s been rolled 

556
00:19:44,966 --> 00:19:47,632
out um or at least slowly. 

557
00:19:47,632 --> 00:19:49,000
maybe it’s a trickle that looks 

558
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,434
like more like a slow trickle 

559
00:19:50,434 --> 00:19:52,000
going out. No shade, No disc. 

560
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,733
uh a vaccine is very important, 

561
00:19:54,733 --> 00:19:56,133
um so a very important tool in 

562
00:19:56,133 --> 00:20:00,000
our tool kit in our war against 

563
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,466
Coven nineteen we have had over 

564
00:20:03,466 --> 00:20:07,500
300 uh and 56000 deaths 

565
00:20:07,500 --> 00:20:09,233
21000000 infections here along 

566
00:20:09,233 --> 00:20:10,533
with the United States and I’m 

567
00:20:10,533 --> 00:20:11,899
based here in Los Angeles, 

568
00:20:11,899 --> 00:20:13,667
which is is now being the 

569
00:20:13,667 --> 00:20:15,900
epicenter. Uh I don’t. Fema 

570
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:16,966
said it’s one of the most 

571
00:20:16,966 --> 00:20:17,967
dangerous places to live at 

572
00:20:17,967 --> 00:20:19,700
least that was the headlines as 

573
00:20:19,700 --> 00:20:21,467
of yesterday, um the Kobe 

574
00:20:21,467 --> 00:20:24,999
vaccine is taking a toll not 

575
00:20:24,999 --> 00:20:27,966
only um on the public but also 

576
00:20:27,966 --> 00:20:29,400
wearing down our hospital, 

577
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:30,400
health care system and our 

578
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:31,933
resources and we’ve actually 

579
00:20:31,933 --> 00:20:33,600
began some discussions as with 

580
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,966
other places about rationing 

581
00:20:35,966 --> 00:20:37,500
care and I’m hoping we don’t 

582
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:41,432
have to go there um but part of 

583
00:20:41,432 --> 00:20:43,500
uh in addition to to 

584
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:45,033
encouraging the public social 

585
00:20:45,033 --> 00:20:45,733
distancing wearing your mask, 

586
00:20:45,733 --> 00:20:47,600
washing your hands, avoiding 

587
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,166
large crowds and all of those 

588
00:20:48,166 --> 00:20:49,333
things the stay home when 

589
00:20:49,333 --> 00:20:52,600
they’re sick. Um is a vaccine. 

590
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,932
Now the um Trump administration 

591
00:20:54,932 --> 00:20:56,433
originally had a goal of 

592
00:20:56,433 --> 00:20:59,333
20000000 people vaccinated by 

593
00:20:59,333 --> 00:21:01,000
January. We are at a slow 

594
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,500
trickle of less than if you 

595
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:04,466
look at different resources. 

596
00:21:04,466 --> 00:21:05,466
It’ll let us say anywhere from 

597
00:21:05,466 --> 00:21:07,233
four to to 5000000 have 

598
00:21:07,233 --> 00:21:08,533
received their vaccines. 

599
00:21:08,533 --> 00:21:11,166
However, many of the vaccines 

600
00:21:11,166 --> 00:21:12,966
are here but but haven’t been 

601
00:21:12,966 --> 00:21:15,299
distributed so we gotta figure 

602
00:21:15,299 --> 00:21:16,466
out where the bottleneck is, 

603
00:21:16,466 --> 00:21:19,299
but it’s we have vaccines. We 

604
00:21:19,299 --> 00:21:21,000
have people that wanna receive 

605
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,900
them. They’ll do this but. 

606
00:21:22,900 --> 00:21:24,500
Where in the middle where it’s 

607
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:26,899
it’s not working, It’s not it’s 

608
00:21:26,899 --> 00:21:28,467
not happening. so um I think 

609
00:21:28,467 --> 00:21:30,599
that’s probably the the topic 

610
00:21:30,599 --> 00:21:31,900
to come back and revisit to 

611
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:33,633
talk get into like the weed of 

612
00:21:33,633 --> 00:21:35,300
things as to what’s happening, 

613
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:38,434
but I wanna say this, I know 

614
00:21:38,434 --> 00:21:39,966
twenty was year of the nurses 

615
00:21:39,966 --> 00:21:41,533
Nurse Alice is is claiming 

616
00:21:41,533 --> 00:21:43,032
twenty-one continuation Part b 

617
00:21:43,032 --> 00:21:44,966
year of the nurses. Um I 

618
00:21:44,966 --> 00:21:46,400
definitely would want to 

619
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,000
encourage any nurses out there 

620
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,400
if you’re looking for not that 

621
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,733
you don’t have things to do. I 

622
00:21:50,733 --> 00:21:51,933
know you got stuff to do. I 

623
00:21:51,933 --> 00:21:52,732
know you do and you’re probably 

624
00:21:52,732 --> 00:21:54,700
trying to go back to school 

625
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:57,000
too, but um if any of you. Are 

626
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,532
interested, I think this is an 

627
00:21:58,532 --> 00:22:00,567
excellent opportunity for 

628
00:22:00,567 --> 00:22:02,000
nurses that natural born 

629
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,500
leaders that you are to step up 

630
00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:05,033
to the plate and offer your 

631
00:22:05,033 --> 00:22:07,000
services your skill set and 

632
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,666
your knowledge to your local 

633
00:22:08,666 --> 00:22:10,400
governments, Maybe connect with 

634
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,400
your mayor. Maybe connect with 

635
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,000
your council members maybe 

636
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:14,700
connect with some type of 

637
00:22:14,700 --> 00:22:17,066
community uh partner and talk 

638
00:22:17,066 --> 00:22:19,533
to them about helping to design 

639
00:22:19,533 --> 00:22:22,233
design or lead vaccine. roll 

640
00:22:22,233 --> 00:22:24,033
out. Imma tell you this if a 

641
00:22:24,033 --> 00:22:24,767
nurse had planned this we’d be 

642
00:22:24,767 --> 00:22:26,399
in a whole different situation. 

643
00:22:26,399 --> 00:22:28,933
So again, no shade, no to our 

644
00:22:28,933 --> 00:22:30,467
politicians and our government 

645
00:22:30,467 --> 00:22:31,833
officials and all the people in 

646
00:22:31,833 --> 00:22:32,934
public health. We love you too 

647
00:22:32,934 --> 00:22:35,699
Boo. I get it, but no one like 

648
00:22:35,699 --> 00:22:38,700
nurses knows how to design a 

649
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:40,333
roll out. We know how to roll 

650
00:22:40,333 --> 00:22:43,400
it out. Believe me we do trust 

651
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,966
um but anyways I won’t go into 

652
00:22:45,966 --> 00:22:47,432
anymore detail with that just 

653
00:22:47,432 --> 00:22:49,300
because um it takes gonna take 

654
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:51,500
a lot more time to get into the 

655
00:22:51,500 --> 00:22:52,967
politics and the details of why 

656
00:22:52,967 --> 00:22:54,233
we can’t get our vaccine to the 

657
00:22:54,233 --> 00:22:55,933
end users cuz they’re there. We 

658
00:22:55,933 --> 00:22:58,000
gotta use them them really or 

659
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,599
they will expire and then 

660
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:00,200
that’s wasted federal dollars 

661
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,499
on vaccines. Um but just the 

662
00:23:03,499 --> 00:23:06,000
way governors and folks are 

663
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,400
going about it right now 

664
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:08,766
doesn’t seem like the right way 

665
00:23:08,766 --> 00:23:10,332
to do it. punishment is not the 

666
00:23:10,332 --> 00:23:11,833
thing to do it sounds like they 

667
00:23:11,833 --> 00:23:14,966
wanna penalize hospitals find 

668
00:23:14,966 --> 00:23:17,499
hospitals um for not doing 

669
00:23:17,499 --> 00:23:19,700
their job. Listen sir ma’am. 

670
00:23:19,700 --> 00:23:21,467
We’re in here saving lives with 

671
00:23:21,467 --> 00:23:23,366
you and you want us to do you 

672
00:23:23,366 --> 00:23:23,866
want us to save the lives and 

673
00:23:23,866 --> 00:23:24,667
say Elijah you want us to give 

674
00:23:24,667 --> 00:23:26,267
the vaccine. let’s talk about 

675
00:23:26,267 --> 00:23:28,499
this roll us out and use our 

676
00:23:28,499 --> 00:23:31,466
community partners um our. 

677
00:23:31,466 --> 00:23:33,067
Students are nursing students, 

678
00:23:33,067 --> 00:23:35,333
other health allied people to 

679
00:23:35,333 --> 00:23:36,133
get this done, but I think we 

680
00:23:36,133 --> 00:23:37,066
can get it done, but I think 

681
00:23:37,066 --> 00:23:38,966
it’s gonna be a need. they need 

682
00:23:38,966 --> 00:23:40,400
a nurse at the helm so um 

683
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,567
that’s just a question. That’s 

684
00:23:41,567 --> 00:23:42,333
something that I just wanna put 

685
00:23:42,333 --> 00:23:44,999
out there um but I do wanna tap 

686
00:23:44,999 --> 00:23:47,233
into our next topic guys. I 

687
00:23:47,233 --> 00:23:48,000
think we’re gonna be talking 

688
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,300
about this for quite a bit. I 

689
00:23:49,300 --> 00:23:51,566

bills and doing this in the 

734
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,967
next screen, they’re like hair 

735
00:25:16,967 --> 00:25:18,866
is like this all I’m doing 

736
00:25:18,866 --> 00:25:21,500
looking crazy. Um what are your 

737
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:25,100
thoughts on High-paying travel 

738
00:25:25,100 --> 00:25:26,867
contracts? um Julia Let’s start 

739
00:25:26,867 --> 00:25:28,067
with you. What are your 

740
00:25:28,067 --> 00:25:30,566
thoughts on that? um well for 

741
00:25:30,566 --> 00:25:31,966
starters, I think my sentiment 

742
00:25:31,966 --> 00:25:35,033
initially when the pandemic um 

743
00:25:35,033 --> 00:25:36,933
you know initially happened and 

744
00:25:36,933 --> 00:25:38,733
they were recruiting nurses, My 

745
00:25:38,733 --> 00:25:39,867
first thought was that you know 

746
00:25:39,867 --> 00:25:41,299
nurses. We’ve always worked 

747
00:25:41,299 --> 00:25:42,800
hard. We’ve always busted our 

748
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,900
books um for our patients and. 

749
00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:46,633
We’ve always put ourselves at 

750
00:25:46,633 --> 00:25:49,133
risk of exposure so what we’ve 

751
00:25:49,133 --> 00:25:50,532
been waiting on, you know like 

752
00:25:50,532 --> 00:25:52,700
it’s about time. that was my 

753
00:25:52,700 --> 00:25:53,933
initial sentiment like hey, 

754
00:25:53,933 --> 00:25:55,433
we’re finally getting paid what 

755
00:25:55,433 --> 00:25:58,000
we’re worth right um so 

756
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,400
initially I thought it was 

757
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,900
extremely a good thing um and I 

758
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:03,666
was you know actually shocked 

759
00:26:03,666 --> 00:26:05,233
to see just how well they were 

760
00:26:05,233 --> 00:26:07,366
paying nurses, but I obviously 

761
00:26:07,366 --> 00:26:10,467
wasn’t complaining right. Okay. 

762
00:26:10,467 --> 00:26:12,800
Um what do you think? what are 

763
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:13,633
your thoughts on this 

764
00:26:13,633 --> 00:26:14,666
high-paying travel contracts 

765
00:26:14,666 --> 00:26:15,432
that are out there because I’ll 

766
00:26:15,432 --> 00:26:17,033
say this there’s. And I’ll put 

767
00:26:17,033 --> 00:26:19,700
the story in the in the chat 

768
00:26:19,700 --> 00:26:22,000
box. There was actually a nurse 

769
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,500
I believe um let’s see she 

770
00:26:26,500 --> 00:26:28,532
actually is debt-free. she’s 

771
00:26:28,532 --> 00:26:30,000
sharing her secrets she paid 

772
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,166
over $67000 off in debt by 

773
00:26:33,166 --> 00:26:35,467
taking travel assignments. Wow. 

774
00:26:35,467 --> 00:26:36,900
What do you think about that? 

775
00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:38,833
So I agree with uh Julia. I 

776
00:26:38,833 --> 00:26:41,033
mean my initial thoughts are if 

777
00:26:41,033 --> 00:26:42,699
you’re gonna be home doing the 

778
00:26:42,699 --> 00:26:45,133
same work for far less pay if 

779
00:26:45,133 --> 00:26:46,866
your circumstances allow it 

780
00:26:46,866 --> 00:26:48,833
like Julia said. It’s kinda. 

781
00:26:48,833 --> 00:26:50,532
What we’ve been waiting on um 

782
00:26:50,532 --> 00:26:52,432
if your circumstances are 

783
00:26:52,432 --> 00:26:54,433
allowing for it um and you are 

784
00:26:54,433 --> 00:26:57,167
prepared mentally for what 

785
00:26:57,167 --> 00:26:58,433
you’re going into. I think it 

786
00:26:58,433 --> 00:26:59,900
was. I think it’s a phenomenal 

787
00:26:59,900 --> 00:27:02,133
opportunity now but hold on 

788
00:27:02,133 --> 00:27:04,700
you, said that you’re prepared 

789
00:27:04,700 --> 00:27:06,499
to go into you know so I’ve 

790
00:27:06,499 --> 00:27:07,699
been a nurse for quite some 

791
00:27:07,699 --> 00:27:10,000
time I’ve been in uh nursing 

792
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,967
instructor part of leadership 

793
00:27:11,967 --> 00:27:14,332
and so I’m up without saying 

794
00:27:14,332 --> 00:27:15,100
exactly how long well. I’ve 

795
00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:16,466
been a nurse for 23 years. 

796
00:27:16,466 --> 00:27:17,400
Let’s just put it out there. I 

797
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,900
see a lot of people who want. 

798
00:27:18,900 --> 00:27:20,633
To become travel nurses who are 

799
00:27:20,633 --> 00:27:22,966
like don’t even have that first 

800
00:27:22,966 --> 00:27:24,266
job yet it’s like Oh, I wanna 

801
00:27:24,266 --> 00:27:26,400
be a travel nurse and as soon 

802
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,899
as that 1 year mark hits, 

803
00:27:27,899 --> 00:27:29,633
they’re ready to travel and do 

804
00:27:29,633 --> 00:27:31,267
all these things. What would 

805
00:27:31,267 --> 00:27:32,766
you say to an either be? what 

806
00:27:32,766 --> 00:27:34,499
would you say to that nurse 

807
00:27:34,499 --> 00:27:35,667
who’s been a nurse for 1 year 

808
00:27:35,667 --> 00:27:38,700
and sees that $10000 travel 

809
00:27:38,700 --> 00:27:40,933
contract and says, Oh, I wanna 

810
00:27:40,933 --> 00:27:42,633
do that. What do you think 

811
00:27:42,633 --> 00:27:44,667
Julia you can go first um 

812
00:27:44,667 --> 00:27:48,000
honestly I would uh have to say 

813
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,633
to tread lightly in full 

814
00:27:49,633 --> 00:27:51,633
transparency when. Went to New 

815
00:27:51,633 --> 00:27:53,900
York. It was my first travel 

816
00:27:53,900 --> 00:27:55,333
assignment and travel had 

817
00:27:55,333 --> 00:27:56,400
always been something that I 

818
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,000
aspire to do but never just got 

819
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,467
around to try and get out Um I 

820
00:28:00,467 --> 00:28:02,000
have a ton of uh friends who 

821
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,166
are travel nurses, but me 

822
00:28:03,166 --> 00:28:04,933
myself myself hadn’t gone the 

823
00:28:04,933 --> 00:28:08,533
pandemic um but as a uh 

824
00:28:08,533 --> 00:28:10,900
preceptor for over 5 years, 

825
00:28:10,900 --> 00:28:12,932
that part of me, says tread 

826
00:28:12,932 --> 00:28:15,000
lightly because I know um that 

827
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,899
transition how important that 

828
00:28:16,899 --> 00:28:19,200
is in the first one to 3 years 

829
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:20,133
for a nurse um and so while it 

830
00:28:20,133 --> 00:28:23,600
maybe a great. Uh it might not 

831
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,767
be best for everyone. obviously 

832
00:28:25,767 --> 00:28:28,566
some uh new nurses, advance or 

833
00:28:28,566 --> 00:28:29,699
transition faster than others, 

834
00:28:29,699 --> 00:28:31,132
and it really comes down to a 

835
00:28:31,132 --> 00:28:33,900
personal choice and um one of 

836
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:36,434
uh true self awareness and 

837
00:28:36,434 --> 00:28:39,633
evaluation. um so yeah, okay. 

838
00:28:39,633 --> 00:28:42,133
um so I’ll jump on to that um 

839
00:28:42,133 --> 00:28:44,499
first off pandemic, nursing and 

840
00:28:44,499 --> 00:28:45,500
travel nursing are two 

841
00:28:45,500 --> 00:28:46,967
separates. It’s two separate 

842
00:28:46,967 --> 00:28:48,633
things I mean similar but very 

843
00:28:48,633 --> 00:28:52,466
separate um one of the things. 

844
00:28:52,466 --> 00:28:53,799
I told one of the travelers who 

845
00:28:53,799 --> 00:28:55,466
was a new grad when he came to 

846
00:28:55,466 --> 00:28:57,633
New York is you know he wanted 

847
00:28:57,633 --> 00:28:58,733
to be there to help and I asked 

848
00:28:58,733 --> 00:29:00,133
him the question well. do you 

849
00:29:00,133 --> 00:29:01,600
are you prepared to explain to 

850
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,233
a family? um when they’ve lost 

851
00:29:04,233 --> 00:29:06,000
a loved one of his inability to 

852
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,232
help um so it’s a lot to 

853
00:29:08,232 --> 00:29:09,666
consider when you’re going into 

854
00:29:09,666 --> 00:29:12,534
this type of setting um but 

855
00:29:12,534 --> 00:29:14,000
again, pandemic nursing is 

856
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
different from travel nursing 

857
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,034
in some cases having a new grad 

858
00:29:19,034 --> 00:29:20,067
was better than the 

859
00:29:20,067 --> 00:29:21,000
alternative, which was nobody 

860
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,000
um, but it’s a. I mean, it’s 

861
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:24,800
just it’s just one of them 

862
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,167
things. None of us have 

863
00:29:27,167 --> 00:29:29,199
experienced so you definitely 

864
00:29:29,199 --> 00:29:30,700
need the experience and you 

865
00:29:30,700 --> 00:29:31,400
wanna be comfortable when 

866
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,400
you’re going into these 

867
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,667
settings and there was no 

868
00:29:33,667 --> 00:29:34,900
guarantee that they will be 

869
00:29:34,900 --> 00:29:37,399
used in a tech capacity or a 

870
00:29:37,399 --> 00:29:39,033
new grad capacity. Um so are 

871
00:29:39,033 --> 00:29:40,366
you ready for? That’s the 

872
00:29:40,366 --> 00:29:41,466
question that the new grads 

873
00:29:41,466 --> 00:29:42,833
have to ask themselves when 

874
00:29:42,833 --> 00:29:43,866
they’re going into these 

875
00:29:43,866 --> 00:29:45,599
settings. So you raise a good 

876
00:29:45,599 --> 00:29:46,700
point and I’m glad you said 

877
00:29:46,700 --> 00:29:48,067
this so y’all there’s a 

878
00:29:48,067 --> 00:29:49,967
difference between travel 

879
00:29:49,967 --> 00:29:52,533
nursing and what did you call 

880
00:29:52,533 --> 00:29:54,466
it, he said. Well, I did yeah. 

881
00:29:54,466 --> 00:29:59,432
Well, Where we going a pandemic 

882
00:29:59,432 --> 00:30:01,066
travelling? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. 

883
00:30:01,066 --> 00:30:02,466
so two different things, but 

884
00:30:02,466 --> 00:30:03,433
you know what some of these 

885
00:30:03,433 --> 00:30:05,066
recruiters are very pushy and 

886
00:30:05,066 --> 00:30:06,300
Imma say this and they make it 

887
00:30:06,300 --> 00:30:07,767
seem like this. Oh it’s all 

888
00:30:07,767 --> 00:30:09,933
bells and whistles and you know 

889
00:30:09,933 --> 00:30:11,699
it’s all beautiful and well. I 

890
00:30:11,699 --> 00:30:12,366
won’t say it’s all beautiful 

891
00:30:12,366 --> 00:30:14,000
cuz we we’re we can see what we 

892
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,699
see on television, but you know 

893
00:30:15,699 --> 00:30:17,033
they make it very attractive 

894
00:30:17,033 --> 00:30:18,667
for you and I don’t know I’ve 

895
00:30:18,667 --> 00:30:20,233
I’ve done travel assignments 

896
00:30:20,233 --> 00:30:21,300
before, but I did this quite 

897
00:30:21,300 --> 00:30:22,467
some time uh ago and definitely 

898
00:30:22,467 --> 00:30:26,432
not. Pandemic um and I’ll say 

899
00:30:26,432 --> 00:30:28,932
this I had worked at a like a 

900
00:30:28,932 --> 00:30:31,466
cardio thoracic IA hard really 

901
00:30:31,466 --> 00:30:33,000
really tough unit and I was no, 

902
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:34,700
I don’t wanna travel and I see 

903
00:30:34,700 --> 00:30:35,899
all travel and dole or 

904
00:30:35,899 --> 00:30:38,499
something else um just because 

905
00:30:38,499 --> 00:30:39,667
not every hospital is the same 

906
00:30:39,667 --> 00:30:41,432
you can work in IC at this 

907
00:30:41,432 --> 00:30:43,966
hospital but that I might be 

908
00:30:43,966 --> 00:30:45,333
equivalent to another 

909
00:30:45,333 --> 00:30:47,467
hospitals. Tell your step down. 

910
00:30:47,467 --> 00:30:49,967
so I’ve I’d I’m when Julia, you 

911
00:30:49,967 --> 00:30:51,399
said it best tread lightly 

912
00:30:51,399 --> 00:30:51,967
definitely tread lightly 

913
00:30:51,967 --> 00:30:53,933
because just. Because you work 

914
00:30:53,933 --> 00:30:56,067
in I see here doesn’t mean your 

915
00:30:56,067 --> 00:30:58,600
eyes is the same as this I see 

916
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,000
and then you add a layer of 

917
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,434
pandemic to it. You’re gonna be 

918
00:31:02,434 --> 00:31:04,000
in the corner crying ready to 

919
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,733
go like I don’t care how much 

920
00:31:05,733 --> 00:31:07,000
you pay me and I there are 

921
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,300
times and you guys agree with 

922
00:31:09,300 --> 00:31:10,400
me or not, but there have been 

923
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:11,566
times even at regular work. I’m 

924
00:31:11,566 --> 00:31:13,033
like Oh no not today. I don’t 

925
00:31:13,033 --> 00:31:13,532
care what y’all paying. I’m 

926
00:31:13,532 --> 00:31:15,333
not. I’m not coming in. I’m 

927
00:31:15,333 --> 00:31:18,932
tired so but not everybody 

928
00:31:18,932 --> 00:31:20,766
thinks like that. so what would 

929
00:31:20,766 --> 00:31:24,000
you say if someone? Is 

930
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:24,566
considering let’s say you know 

931
00:31:24,566 --> 00:31:26,732
what I’ve been a nurse for 2 

932
00:31:26,732 --> 00:31:29,667
years Uh I know you know I’ve 

933
00:31:29,667 --> 00:31:31,100
I’ve been at this one hospital 

934
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:32,567
for 2 years and I know I know 

935
00:31:32,567 --> 00:31:35,166
my stuff is this person ready 

936
00:31:35,166 --> 00:31:37,400
to travel What do you think 

937
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,667
what would they need to know or 

938
00:31:38,667 --> 00:31:41,766
do before they step foot into 

939
00:31:41,766 --> 00:31:43,099
the travel world? Uh huh? I 

940
00:31:43,099 --> 00:31:44,500
think they would need to kinda 

941
00:31:44,500 --> 00:31:47,267
assess for one placement. Um I 

942
00:31:47,267 --> 00:31:48,432
think you made a really great 

943
00:31:48,432 --> 00:31:50,900
point, which is that hospitals 

944
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:53,567
aren’t made equally um and. 

945
00:31:53,567 --> 00:31:57,466
Some nurses have the great um 

946
00:31:57,466 --> 00:31:59,133
opportunity. I’ll say to work 

947
00:31:59,133 --> 00:32:01,500
at academic or teaching 

948
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:02,432
institutions, which make a huge 

949
00:32:02,432 --> 00:32:03,033
difference difference when it 

950
00:32:03,033 --> 00:32:05,666
to having protocols and even 

951
00:32:05,666 --> 00:32:07,966
supplies and resources and uh 

952
00:32:07,966 --> 00:32:09,066
clinical nurse specialist at 

953
00:32:09,066 --> 00:32:12,133
your disposal for um you know 

954
00:32:12,133 --> 00:32:13,433
in services and you know 

955
00:32:13,433 --> 00:32:14,932
evidence-based practice so all 

956
00:32:14,932 --> 00:32:16,999
those things really uh make a 

957
00:32:16,999 --> 00:32:18,500
difference in your actual 

958
00:32:18,500 --> 00:32:20,000
training um and like you said 

959
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,300
if you’re going into somewhere 

960
00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:22,900
where maybe your training. 

961
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:25,533
Trump’s you know the position 

962
00:32:25,533 --> 00:32:26,967
to some extent or their level 

963
00:32:26,967 --> 00:32:28,300
of care, then you may be okay, 

964
00:32:28,300 --> 00:32:31,100
but if you’ve not maybe had the 

965
00:32:31,100 --> 00:32:32,500
you know uh opportunity to work 

966
00:32:32,500 --> 00:32:34,500
in a hospital that trained you 

967
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:36,733
to that capacity and and they 

968
00:32:36,733 --> 00:32:39,300
have all of these standards 

969
00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:40,400
that you can’t necessarily 

970
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,600
acclimate to in a short time, 

971
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,000
then you may be in a bad 

972
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,699
situation. so I think first off 

973
00:32:46,699 --> 00:32:48,000
understanding and doing some 

974
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,899
research like okay where it is 

975
00:32:48,899 --> 00:32:50,466
is it that you want me to go 

976
00:32:50,466 --> 00:32:52,467
what’s gonna be expected of. 

977
00:32:52,467 --> 00:32:55,000
Does that you know uh match up 

978
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,300
to what I’ve learned and what I 

979
00:32:56,300 --> 00:32:57,633
know and what I could, you know 

980
00:32:57,633 --> 00:32:59,233
bring to the table. Okay. Very 

981
00:32:59,233 --> 00:33:02,000
good now. Let me ask this um 

982
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
because use them when you do a 

983
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:04,900
travel contract. There’s just 

984
00:33:04,900 --> 00:33:06,300
like a little checklist one 

985
00:33:06,300 --> 00:33:07,532
through five. What has been 

986
00:33:07,532 --> 00:33:08,532
your experience? so it’s kind 

987
00:33:08,532 --> 00:33:09,967
of self reporting. What is what 

988
00:33:09,967 --> 00:33:11,933
do I think my experiences and I 

989
00:33:11,933 --> 00:33:12,766
might be a new nurse like you 

990
00:33:12,766 --> 00:33:14,367
know what I’m all fives because 

991
00:33:14,367 --> 00:33:16,000
I just think that I’m that 

992
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:16,832
great, but then in the real 

993
00:33:16,832 --> 00:33:18,967
world, I don’t know that 

994
00:33:18,967 --> 00:33:20,467
there’s really um what do you 

995
00:33:20,467 --> 00:33:23,000
call that um inner reliability? 

996
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Three when it comes to the one 

997
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,899
through five because my five 

998
00:33:26,899 --> 00:33:28,699
might really be, you know 

999
00:33:28,699 --> 00:33:30,100
you’re three or Julia you’re 

1000
00:33:30,100 --> 00:33:32,933
two because of where you work 

1001
00:33:32,933 --> 00:33:35,900
now these ever he mentioned 

1002
00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:37,300
that if you’re a new grad and 

1003
00:33:37,300 --> 00:33:39,333
I’m for all intensive purposes, 

1004
00:33:39,333 --> 00:33:40,967
I’m gonna say a new nurse is 

1005
00:33:40,967 --> 00:33:43,199
someone with less two or less 

1006
00:33:43,199 --> 00:33:44,433
than 2 years of experience. I 

1007
00:33:44,433 --> 00:33:46,500
think I know we got some really 

1008
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:48,466
advanced nurses you know 2 

1009
00:33:48,466 --> 00:33:49,267
years, but I’m just gonna just 

1010
00:33:49,267 --> 00:33:51,066
for now cuz I think that’s when 

1011
00:33:51,066 --> 00:33:52,432
you look at novice expert 

1012
00:33:52,432 --> 00:33:53,233
Bennett. I believe that’s what 

1013
00:33:53,233 --> 00:33:55,466
she looks at the new the new 

1014
00:33:55,466 --> 00:33:58,266
novice nurses um. You said that 

1015
00:33:58,266 --> 00:33:59,933
they may not be used in that 

1016
00:33:59,933 --> 00:34:02,000
capacity that numerous capacity 

1017
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,366
if they’re gonna travel 

1018
00:34:03,366 --> 00:34:04,400
assignment. So what do you do? 

1019
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:05,966
what if you are that new person 

1020
00:34:05,966 --> 00:34:07,166
you just like you know what the 

1021
00:34:07,166 --> 00:34:09,434
money looks good? I signed. I’m 

1022
00:34:09,434 --> 00:34:11,333
here now what right? so? that’s 

1023
00:34:11,333 --> 00:34:13,466
that’s that’s why I make the 

1024
00:34:13,466 --> 00:34:15,433
distinction between travel and 

1025
00:34:15,433 --> 00:34:17,532
pandemic you know again in 

1026
00:34:17,532 --> 00:34:19,100
pandemic, Sometimes you just 

1027
00:34:19,100 --> 00:34:21,667
need someone they’re capable of 

1028
00:34:21,667 --> 00:34:22,967
watching a patient. That’s a 

1029
00:34:22,967 --> 00:34:25,600
step above a sitter or you know 

1030
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,333
a tech or who have who had the 

1031
00:34:27,333 --> 00:34:28,800
training beyond that of a tech 

1032
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,900
um so. 

1033
00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:31,933
Um 

1034
00:34:31,933 --> 00:34:34,100
Um you would like to be in an 

1035
00:34:34,100 --> 00:34:35,500
area or capacity of their no 

1036
00:34:35,500 --> 00:34:36,966
nurse, but it’s it’s not 

1037
00:34:36,966 --> 00:34:38,633
optional in a pandemic all 

1038
00:34:38,633 --> 00:34:40,000
hands on deck and where you 

1039
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,567
fall is where you fall um and 

1040
00:34:42,567 --> 00:34:44,233
there was a lot of controversy 

1041
00:34:44,233 --> 00:34:46,167
about that when the pandemic 

1042
00:34:46,167 --> 00:34:47,099
travel first started this 

1043
00:34:47,099 --> 00:34:48,000
people were being placed 

1044
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,932
outside of the areas, but I 

1045
00:34:49,932 --> 00:34:51,466
think a lot of people 

1046
00:34:51,466 --> 00:34:52,167
misunderstood what this was um 

1047
00:34:52,167 --> 00:34:54,333
with my background, I’m used to 

1048
00:34:54,333 --> 00:34:55,867
emergency management operations 

1049
00:34:55,867 --> 00:34:57,633
and in those type of 

1050
00:34:57,633 --> 00:34:58,300
operations, sometimes you work 

1051
00:34:58,300 --> 00:35:00,933
outside of your norm. In travel 

1052
00:35:00,933 --> 00:35:02,432
nursing as you mentioned, you 

1053
00:35:02,432 --> 00:35:03,933
do your rating and you end up 

1054
00:35:03,933 --> 00:35:05,432
working in your area of 

1055
00:35:05,432 --> 00:35:07,933
expertise or where you think 

1056
00:35:07,933 --> 00:35:10,767
you have expertise um and you 

1057
00:35:10,767 --> 00:35:12,267
can decline an assignment if 

1058
00:35:12,267 --> 00:35:13,833
you get there and it’s not what 

1059
00:35:13,833 --> 00:35:16,167
you expected in the pandemic. 

1060
00:35:16,167 --> 00:35:17,733
We really didn’t have that 

1061
00:35:17,733 --> 00:35:21,066
option. You know if I if I had 

1062
00:35:21,066 --> 00:35:24,033
extra pay, I see patients and I 

1063
00:35:24,033 --> 00:35:25,167
had nurses where I was full on 

1064
00:35:25,167 --> 00:35:26,533
the floor and I needed somebody 

1065
00:35:26,533 --> 00:35:27,933
to watch these I perks patients 

1066
00:35:27,933 --> 00:35:28,633
and I got the nurses that with 

1067
00:35:28,633 --> 00:35:31,800
their. None of us like it, but 

1068
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,732
that’s again when walking into 

1069
00:35:33,732 --> 00:35:35,434
a pandemic, you have to have 

1070
00:35:35,434 --> 00:35:37,766
that mindset that anything 

1071
00:35:37,766 --> 00:35:39,332
goes, you know the rates aren’t 

1072
00:35:39,332 --> 00:35:42,000
that way because it’s gonna be 

1073
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,233
what you’re used to that way 

1074
00:35:43,233 --> 00:35:45,600
because it’s gonna be an easy 

1075
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:46,933
day on the unit. um it’s that 

1076
00:35:46,933 --> 00:35:49,000
way because they’re expecting 

1077
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,934
you to get an assignment and 

1078
00:35:50,934 --> 00:35:52,499
take it and deal with it. And 

1079
00:35:52,499 --> 00:35:53,966
so if you’re not used to if 

1080
00:35:53,966 --> 00:35:54,967
you’re not comfortable taking 

1081
00:35:54,967 --> 00:35:55,666
care of patients, you still 

1082
00:35:55,666 --> 00:35:57,133
have to learn the charting 

1083
00:35:57,133 --> 00:36:00,433
system the supplies. The 

1084
00:36:00,433 --> 00:36:01,433
operations um so when it goes 

1085
00:36:01,433 --> 00:36:03,600
back to what you’re saying when 

1086
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:04,866
you’re ready to travel if you 

1087
00:36:04,866 --> 00:36:07,034
still get patients that you’re 

1088
00:36:07,034 --> 00:36:08,700
uncomfortable with on your home 

1089
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:11,232
unit, you may not need to go 

1090
00:36:11,232 --> 00:36:13,100
travel because that facility 

1091
00:36:13,100 --> 00:36:14,967
may see a totally different 

1092
00:36:14,967 --> 00:36:15,966
acuity level than you’re used 

1093
00:36:15,966 --> 00:36:17,899
to um you need to be 

1094
00:36:17,899 --> 00:36:19,299
comfortable within your own 

1095
00:36:19,299 --> 00:36:21,199
unit and even floating within 

1096
00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:23,366
your own hospital if you’re not 

1097
00:36:23,366 --> 00:36:23,966
comfortable floating within 

1098
00:36:23,966 --> 00:36:26,400
your own hospital, you probably 

1099
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,400
don’t need to travel. That’s 

1100
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:28,966
actually a good tip and I’ll 

1101
00:36:28,966 --> 00:36:30,900
say this before I took a travel 

1102
00:36:30,900 --> 00:36:32,000
assignment. I was the nurse 

1103
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,199
that so I worked at IC. Um and 

1104
00:36:35,199 --> 00:36:36,567
then I’ve I’ve I’ll be the 

1105
00:36:36,567 --> 00:36:38,199
first to flow nobody ever likes 

1106
00:36:38,199 --> 00:36:39,600
to throw like float float and 

1107
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,466
then I made friends on all the 

1108
00:36:41,466 --> 00:36:42,967
units. so I liked it right. I’m 

1109
00:36:42,967 --> 00:36:43,800
more a social reason why I did 

1110
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:47,432
it, but I also wanted to um 

1111
00:36:47,432 --> 00:36:49,467
stay on my toes with the 

1112
00:36:49,467 --> 00:36:50,934
ever-changing environment 

1113
00:36:50,934 --> 00:36:53,400
because it’s not even just the 

1114
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:54,500
patients that you’re taking 

1115
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:56,732
care of the simplest things can 

1116
00:36:56,732 --> 00:36:58,966
get you stuck. Where’s the man 

1117
00:36:58,966 --> 00:37:01,466
Where’s a crash cart? You know? 

1118
00:37:01,466 --> 00:37:02,333
Where’s the Where’s the tape 

1119
00:37:02,333 --> 00:37:05,499
like? Little things can be 

1120
00:37:05,499 --> 00:37:08,000
barriers so you can have a rock 

1121
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,666
awesome nurse, but just even 

1122
00:37:09,666 --> 00:37:11,433
those little things. so I know 

1123
00:37:11,433 --> 00:37:12,367
that in my experience, I’ve 

1124
00:37:12,367 --> 00:37:13,566
learned to ask soon as I got 

1125
00:37:13,566 --> 00:37:16,000
in. okay Where’s crash car 

1126
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,467
Where’s supply room? Where’s 

1127
00:37:17,467 --> 00:37:18,434
the where’s the bathroom? 

1128
00:37:18,434 --> 00:37:20,033
That’s all I that’s all I need 

1129
00:37:20,033 --> 00:37:21,400
to know all those are the rooms 

1130
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,900
and then the nursing care I 

1131
00:37:22,900 --> 00:37:26,600
could do um but you also made a 

1132
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,932
good point about if you have if 

1133
00:37:28,932 --> 00:37:30,400
you’re on your current unit and 

1134
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:31,932
you’re taking care of patients 

1135
00:37:31,932 --> 00:37:33,700
and you’re still struggling 

1136
00:37:33,700 --> 00:37:36,000
there. um what. You guys 

1137
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,532
recommend for someone who wants 

1138
00:37:38,532 --> 00:37:40,333
to break that and actually even 

1139
00:37:40,333 --> 00:37:41,400
see a different population cuz 

1140
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,233
let’s say you’re on a stroke 

1141
00:37:43,233 --> 00:37:44,966
unit you see strokes all day, 

1142
00:37:44,966 --> 00:37:45,800
you might see some other 

1143
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,400
neurological things, but if 

1144
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:48,966
that’s all that but you wanna 

1145
00:37:48,966 --> 00:37:50,533
travel. so how am I gonna get 

1146
00:37:50,533 --> 00:37:52,934
that experience under my belt? 

1147
00:37:52,934 --> 00:37:55,599
um should I crush? I mean you 

1148
00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:56,499
mention floating but should I 

1149
00:37:56,499 --> 00:37:57,500
should I ask to be cross 

1150
00:37:57,500 --> 00:37:59,932
trained to another unit? What 

1151
00:37:59,932 --> 00:38:01,400
would you guys suggest? uh I 

1152
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,600
think that um like you said how 

1153
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,033
you would travel to other units 

1154
00:38:05,033 --> 00:38:07,500
and meet people um networking 

1155
00:38:07,500 --> 00:38:09,067
is huge for our industry and if 

1156
00:38:09,067 --> 00:38:09,966
people haven’t realized that 

1157
00:38:09,966 --> 00:38:10,566
then you you haven’t been 

1158
00:38:10,566 --> 00:38:13,432
paying attention. But um going 

1159
00:38:13,432 --> 00:38:16,000
to other units uh when I was at 

1160
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,600
one particular facility, I was 

1161
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:19,400
considering going to another 

1162
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,733
unit, so I called or introduce 

1163
00:38:21,733 --> 00:38:23,467
myself to the manager and asked 

1164
00:38:23,467 --> 00:38:25,332
to shadow one of their nurses 

1165
00:38:25,332 --> 00:38:27,366
on their units um and when 

1166
00:38:27,366 --> 00:38:28,000
you’re inside your own 

1167
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,299
facility, it’s a little bit 

1168
00:38:29,299 --> 00:38:30,533
easier to pick up a shadow 

1169
00:38:30,533 --> 00:38:32,866
shift or an orientation shift 

1170
00:38:32,866 --> 00:38:33,966
in another unit so that you can 

1171
00:38:33,966 --> 00:38:35,833
start to learn those operations 

1172
00:38:35,833 --> 00:38:37,366
but uh you mentioned cross 

1173
00:38:37,366 --> 00:38:38,532
training cross training is 

1174
00:38:38,532 --> 00:38:40,000
definitely what you need to do 

1175
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,767
in my opinion. If you want to 

1176
00:38:41,767 --> 00:38:42,900
start travelling, it’s a way to 

1177
00:38:42,900 --> 00:38:43,700
breakthrough that um those 

1178
00:38:43,700 --> 00:38:47,100
barriers. Uh get outside of 

1179
00:38:47,100 --> 00:38:49,033
that comfort zone start seeing 

1180
00:38:49,033 --> 00:38:49,533
different equipment used in 

1181
00:38:49,533 --> 00:38:52,932
different ways uh because if 

1182
00:38:52,932 --> 00:38:53,933
you’ve been if anybody’s a 

1183
00:38:53,933 --> 00:38:55,000
nursing long enough, you know 

1184
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,667
that there’s a different way to 

1185
00:38:57,667 --> 00:38:58,933
do certain things uh that you 

1186
00:38:58,933 --> 00:38:59,966
may not have ever learned if 

1187
00:38:59,966 --> 00:39:02,432
you were only on your unit, 

1188
00:39:02,432 --> 00:39:05,100
okay now um do certifications 

1189
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:06,366
help. What are your What are 

1190
00:39:06,366 --> 00:39:08,934
your thoughts on getting 

1191
00:39:08,934 --> 00:39:10,533
certifications is that if I 

1192
00:39:10,533 --> 00:39:11,966
let’s say I try to flow, but 

1193
00:39:11,966 --> 00:39:14,466
they just spoke me to us truly 

1194
00:39:14,466 --> 00:39:15,533
sister union. I’m not getting 

1195
00:39:15,533 --> 00:39:16,000
that experience um would it 

1196
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,433
help if I? To get a 

1197
00:39:19,433 --> 00:39:20,633
certification um well that 

1198
00:39:20,633 --> 00:39:22,000
knowledge help prepare me for 

1199
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,867
travel nursing Julia. What are 

1200
00:39:23,867 --> 00:39:26,000
your thoughts? I think um it 

1201
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,433
will help you know, prepare you 

1202
00:39:27,433 --> 00:39:29,366
as a better nurse, but if you 

1203
00:39:29,366 --> 00:39:30,932
don’t have the opportunity to 

1204
00:39:30,932 --> 00:39:32,999
um apply it that certification 

1205
00:39:32,999 --> 00:39:33,933
or have that hands-on 

1206
00:39:33,933 --> 00:39:35,500
experience with those patients, 

1207
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,000
then I would say no um it’s 

1208
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,600
kinda like having your CPR 

1209
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,333
card, but you know you really 

1210
00:39:41,333 --> 00:39:42,932
don’t know if you know how to 

1211
00:39:42,932 --> 00:39:45,232
uh do compressions and real CPR 

1212
00:39:45,232 --> 00:39:45,800
or effective CPR until it’s 

1213
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,967
time to do it. Right, Oh, yeah. 

1214
00:39:48,967 --> 00:39:50,967
That’s yeah. That’s everything 

1215
00:39:50,967 --> 00:39:52,433
along the lines of that um, but 

1216
00:39:52,433 --> 00:39:54,999
you know like Everett said 

1217
00:39:54,999 --> 00:39:55,833
Cross training You know lots of 

1218
00:39:55,833 --> 00:39:57,000
times you know on your unit. 

1219
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,933
even if you’re in a specialty, 

1220
00:39:58,933 --> 00:40:00,433
you may get a patient who 

1221
00:40:00,433 --> 00:40:01,000
because you have a bed, you 

1222
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,066
know, not your typical patient, 

1223
00:40:03,066 --> 00:40:03,467
you know, look for 

1224
00:40:03,467 --> 00:40:05,066
opportunities to you know, take 

1225
00:40:05,066 --> 00:40:06,933
those patients or heavier 

1226
00:40:06,933 --> 00:40:08,500
assignments just to kinda gauge 

1227
00:40:08,500 --> 00:40:11,566
um where you’re where you’re at 

1228
00:40:11,566 --> 00:40:13,100
but for those of you are 

1229
00:40:13,100 --> 00:40:14,933
watching we have the para 

1230
00:40:14,933 --> 00:40:17,100
Everett and we have. Julia here 

1231
00:40:17,100 --> 00:40:19,800
with us giving us all the tea 

1232
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,066
the tips that you need to 

1233
00:40:21,066 --> 00:40:22,933
prepare yourself to travel. so 

1234
00:40:22,933 --> 00:40:26,432
I’ve heard floats cross train 

1235
00:40:26,432 --> 00:40:27,700
certifications helpful, but you 

1236
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:28,899
still need the hands-on 

1237
00:40:28,899 --> 00:40:30,500
experience and networking okay. 

1238
00:40:30,500 --> 00:40:31,967
So let’s say I’ve gotten that 

1239
00:40:31,967 --> 00:40:32,900
down. I’ve done some of those 

1240
00:40:32,900 --> 00:40:34,600
things. okay. I’m ready. I’m 

1241
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,967
ready to do travel nursing but 

1242
00:40:36,967 --> 00:40:38,866
as ever pointed out, this is a 

1243
00:40:38,866 --> 00:40:41,067
travel nursing. This is 

1244
00:40:41,067 --> 00:40:43,566
pandemic nursing How does 

1245
00:40:43,566 --> 00:40:46,000
anyone prepare for a pandemic 

1246
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:46,766
because I mean every let’s see 

1247
00:40:46,766 --> 00:40:47,567
you’re you know you have 

1248
00:40:47,567 --> 00:40:50,133
background of. Paramedic flight 

1249
00:40:50,133 --> 00:40:51,732
nursing like all of those 

1250
00:40:51,732 --> 00:40:53,167
things, so I know you know how 

1251
00:40:53,167 --> 00:40:54,833
it’s like a battlefield I don’t 

1252
00:40:54,833 --> 00:40:56,966
know in my mentality working in 

1253
00:40:56,966 --> 00:40:58,533
the ER is like a battlefield, 

1254
00:40:58,533 --> 00:40:59,467
sometimes, especially now I 

1255
00:40:59,467 --> 00:41:01,133
don’t know that I would have 

1256
00:41:01,133 --> 00:41:02,866
been able to do that as a as a 

1257
00:41:02,866 --> 00:41:04,833
newer nurse without that ER 

1258
00:41:04,833 --> 00:41:08,400
experience. I mean how does 

1259
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,466
someone roll into situations 

1260
00:41:11,466 --> 00:41:14,033
that are like really, you know 

1261
00:41:14,033 --> 00:41:16,467
your resources are low. You’re 

1262
00:41:16,467 --> 00:41:17,933
you’re out of ratio and by the 

1263
00:41:17,933 --> 00:41:18,500
way I believe California is the 

1264
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:20,100
only state that has mandated 

1265
00:41:20,100 --> 00:41:20,933
ratios. That’s out the water 

1266
00:41:20,933 --> 00:41:23,600
just. You know, don’t think 

1267
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:24,433
I’mma come to California and I 

1268
00:41:24,433 --> 00:41:26,567
got this nice ratios in em 

1269
00:41:26,567 --> 00:41:27,300
emergency. That’s out the 

1270
00:41:27,300 --> 00:41:28,066
window, but let’s talk. I’m 

1271
00:41:28,066 --> 00:41:30,466
from California. I see two 

1272
00:41:30,466 --> 00:41:33,032
patients te TE unit for 

1273
00:41:33,032 --> 00:41:34,633
patients. maybe top is five I 

1274
00:41:34,633 --> 00:41:37,933
go to another state in I see 

1275
00:41:37,933 --> 00:41:39,933
I’ve heard and let’s there was 

1276
00:41:39,933 --> 00:41:41,933
a gentleman on Instagram and I 

1277
00:41:41,933 --> 00:41:43,599
think I forget his name but he 

1278
00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:45,200
was I see nurse came from 

1279
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:48,933
California went to New York had 

1280
00:41:48,933 --> 00:41:51,000
five. I see patients what do 

1281
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:51,933
you do with that? What do you 

1282
00:41:51,933 --> 00:41:57,100
do? The best you can, I mean in 

1283
00:41:57,100 --> 00:41:59,200
in in pandemic nursing um you 

1284
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,366
know you can say, Oh well, I’m 

1285
00:42:01,366 --> 00:42:02,966
it’s not what I’m used to this 

1286
00:42:02,966 --> 00:42:05,233
is what I do but at home again, 

1287
00:42:05,233 --> 00:42:07,032
this is a pandemic people. I’m 

1288
00:42:07,032 --> 00:42:09,466
not telling you to be unsafe. 

1289
00:42:09,466 --> 00:42:10,866
I’m not telling you to uh just 

1290
00:42:10,866 --> 00:42:13,066
accept anything but I am 

1291
00:42:13,066 --> 00:42:14,999
telling you that this is a 

1292
00:42:14,999 --> 00:42:17,533
pandemic and if you’re not 

1293
00:42:17,533 --> 00:42:18,599
watching them, I mean if 

1294
00:42:18,599 --> 00:42:19,966
everybody on the unit has five 

1295
00:42:19,966 --> 00:42:21,967
um you I mean I don’t I would 

1296
00:42:21,967 --> 00:42:23,867
hope you all would collect. 

1297
00:42:23,867 --> 00:42:25,300
Really decide that you’re gonna 

1298
00:42:25,300 --> 00:42:26,733
only watch these two or three. 

1299
00:42:26,733 --> 00:42:28,167
um I mean it is truly a 

1300
00:42:28,167 --> 00:42:29,466
pandemic nursing, so I’m just 

1301
00:42:29,466 --> 00:42:31,700
doing the best I can and I got 

1302
00:42:31,700 --> 00:42:32,499
asked that question when I was 

1303
00:42:32,499 --> 00:42:33,633
on my way to New York, you know 

1304
00:42:33,633 --> 00:42:34,933
what if you have eight 

1305
00:42:34,933 --> 00:42:36,933
patients, I’ll take care of 

1306
00:42:36,933 --> 00:42:37,566
them one at a time. I mean, 

1307
00:42:37,566 --> 00:42:39,766
that’s that’s all you can do if 

1308
00:42:39,766 --> 00:42:41,500
I have eight patients but if 

1309
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:43,600
it’s not me, then who and 

1310
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,299
that’s it with this, it’s more 

1311
00:42:45,299 --> 00:42:46,567
of a mentality. It’s not 

1312
00:42:46,567 --> 00:42:47,833
anything you learn in the 

1313
00:42:47,833 --> 00:42:49,233
books. It’s not anything, the 

1314
00:42:49,233 --> 00:42:51,600
state has told you about um 

1315
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,333
because none of us have done. 

1316
00:42:53,333 --> 00:42:55,300
Before so, you have to have the 

1317
00:42:55,300 --> 00:42:57,000
mentality that I’m truly going 

1318
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,567
here. sure I’m going. I’m 

1319
00:42:58,567 --> 00:43:00,000
getting paid to go but I’m 

1320
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,600
going to help and if I’m not 

1321
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,367
here to help, then why am I 

1322
00:43:03,367 --> 00:43:06,433
going? okay you you raise some 

1323
00:43:06,433 --> 00:43:07,400
good points and I’ll say this 

1324
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,467
we’ve had some nurses um uh 

1325
00:43:09,467 --> 00:43:10,833
let’s see we have Allison if 

1326
00:43:10,833 --> 00:43:13,033
you’re in Florida, you only get 

1327
00:43:13,033 --> 00:43:14,434
two se patients medical 

1328
00:43:14,434 --> 00:43:16,933
surgical, I have seen people 

1329
00:43:16,933 --> 00:43:19,866
have six patients. That’s I 

1330
00:43:19,866 --> 00:43:21,500
think I think that’s normal, 

1331
00:43:21,500 --> 00:43:22,933
but I think I’m assuming that’s 

1332
00:43:22,933 --> 00:43:25,367
normal because if a pandemic 

1333
00:43:25,367 --> 00:43:26,667
hit that same hospital right 

1334
00:43:26,667 --> 00:43:27,833
now, like you said earlier, 

1335
00:43:27,833 --> 00:43:29,900
that’s out the. I mean you 

1336
00:43:29,900 --> 00:43:32,000
don’t have a choice if I have 

1337
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:33,434
five of my nurses out of with 

1338
00:43:33,434 --> 00:43:35,933
covet and you know now the 

1339
00:43:35,933 --> 00:43:37,467
hospital is full and only three 

1340
00:43:37,467 --> 00:43:40,300
showed up to work that ratio 

1341
00:43:40,300 --> 00:43:43,033
all change. You know yes and 

1342
00:43:43,033 --> 00:43:45,133
let me also talk about this and 

1343
00:43:45,133 --> 00:43:47,000
thank you for helping us uh 

1344
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,967
transition the conversation so 

1345
00:43:48,967 --> 00:43:50,699
you guys you made a good point. 

1346
00:43:50,699 --> 00:43:51,633
you do the best that you can do 

1347
00:43:51,633 --> 00:43:53,399
so have some grace for yourself 

1348
00:43:53,399 --> 00:43:55,100
right, You’re only one person 

1349
00:43:55,100 --> 00:43:56,632
um you can only do what you can 

1350
00:43:56,632 --> 00:43:59,867
do. Okay. I’ll get that. But 

1351
00:43:59,867 --> 00:44:00,467
sometimes in this work 

1352
00:44:00,467 --> 00:44:02,366
conditions, you know when when 

1353
00:44:02,366 --> 00:44:04,500
you’re overworked under staffed 

1354
00:44:04,500 --> 00:44:07,033
um and you can sometimes feel 

1355
00:44:07,033 --> 00:44:08,400
rushed because of the those 

1356
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,434
environmental things you can 

1357
00:44:09,434 --> 00:44:10,966
feel rushed And when we’re when 

1358
00:44:10,966 --> 00:44:12,433
we rush, we know that increases 

1359
00:44:12,433 --> 00:44:15,000
opportunities for mistakes. so 

1360
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:15,933
possibly you know, did you 

1361
00:44:15,933 --> 00:44:16,966
really wash your hands? The way 

1362
00:44:16,966 --> 00:44:17,766
you’re supposed to did you 

1363
00:44:17,766 --> 00:44:20,266
really that mask, you know all 

1364
00:44:20,266 --> 00:44:22,499
those type of things you’re 

1365
00:44:22,499 --> 00:44:23,133
entering into units that are 

1366
00:44:23,133 --> 00:44:26,100
full of patients who are 

1367
00:44:26,100 --> 00:44:26,833
suffering from covid-nineteen I 

1368
00:44:26,833 --> 00:44:28,800
have um. Actually had another 

1369
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:29,900
guest who was supposed to join 

1370
00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:32,200
us this evening and she was a 

1371
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,866
travel nurse and she actually 

1372
00:44:34,866 --> 00:44:37,467
got coveted from a travel 

1373
00:44:37,467 --> 00:44:39,033
assignment. Um she wasn’t well 

1374
00:44:39,033 --> 00:44:40,400
enough to be with us, but we’re 

1375
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,033
gonna we’re gonna wish her well 

1376
00:44:42,033 --> 00:44:45,933
but I mean you’re you’re there 

1377
00:44:45,933 --> 00:44:47,166
are these high paying contracts 

1378
00:44:47,166 --> 00:44:49,467
um some of these work 

1379
00:44:49,467 --> 00:44:51,300
conditions are really beyond 

1380
00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:52,600
what you’re normally used to 

1381
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,966
and you run the risk of 

1382
00:44:54,966 --> 00:44:56,167
exposing yourselves with these 

1383
00:44:56,167 --> 00:44:58,934
environments I. Is it really 

1384
00:44:58,934 --> 00:45:01,533
still worth it? is it still 

1385
00:45:01,533 --> 00:45:03,433
worth the $10000 uh travel 

1386
00:45:03,433 --> 00:45:07,434
assignment. Either for me, um 

1387
00:45:07,434 --> 00:45:09,900
I’m sorry for me, I say it, 

1388
00:45:09,900 --> 00:45:12,600
it’s still is worth it only 

1389
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,466
because at my home hospital 

1390
00:45:14,466 --> 00:45:16,466
would have potentially been 

1391
00:45:16,466 --> 00:45:18,333
experiencing the same workload 

1392
00:45:18,333 --> 00:45:20,633
uh would have potentially still 

1393
00:45:20,633 --> 00:45:22,067
been exposed to the same degree 

1394
00:45:22,067 --> 00:45:24,400
of exposure um and I actually 

1395
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,100
came back positive from one of 

1396
00:45:26,100 --> 00:45:27,500
the travel assignments. I was 

1397
00:45:27,500 --> 00:45:29,366
um one of those asymptomatic 

1398
00:45:29,366 --> 00:45:31,100
folks so um I didn’t even know 

1399
00:45:31,100 --> 00:45:33,200
if I hadn’t taken test um but 

1400
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:37,434
for me. And my circumstance, it 

1401
00:45:37,434 --> 00:45:38,900
was still worth it simply 

1402
00:45:38,900 --> 00:45:41,700
because I would have been doing 

1403
00:45:41,700 --> 00:45:45,633
the same type of work if I was 

1404
00:45:45,633 --> 00:45:48,100
here at home, Okay, so you 

1405
00:45:48,100 --> 00:45:49,766
might as well, you gonna have 

1406
00:45:49,766 --> 00:45:51,267
to do the work anyway, so you 

1407
00:45:51,267 --> 00:45:53,433
might as well uh get the higher 

1408
00:45:53,433 --> 00:45:56,500
salary for that. Okay So II can 

1409
00:45:56,500 --> 00:45:58,532
see that point. Julia. What do 

1410
00:45:58,532 --> 00:46:00,300
you say to that? I have to 

1411
00:46:00,300 --> 00:46:03,233
agree with that 100% initially 

1412
00:46:03,233 --> 00:46:05,500
when um at the time that I 

1413
00:46:05,500 --> 00:46:06,866
decided to go and help out on 

1414
00:46:06,866 --> 00:46:08,667
my uh unit my background on the 

1415
00:46:08,667 --> 00:46:11,267
team and I was working. As a 

1416
00:46:11,267 --> 00:46:13,366
nurse practitioner um in 

1417
00:46:13,366 --> 00:46:14,966
hospital, you know in the 

1418
00:46:14,966 --> 00:46:16,133
hospital setting and initially 

1419
00:46:16,133 --> 00:46:17,667
all of the patients, you know, 

1420
00:46:17,667 --> 00:46:18,932
we weren’t doing any 

1421
00:46:18,932 --> 00:46:20,466
transplants uh and we’re trying 

1422
00:46:20,466 --> 00:46:22,366
to keep patients out but 

1423
00:46:22,366 --> 00:46:23,900
eventually the coveted patients 

1424
00:46:23,900 --> 00:46:25,733
started trickling in the census 

1425
00:46:25,733 --> 00:46:27,433
was low, which is why I decided 

1426
00:46:27,433 --> 00:46:28,600
to go because I felt I could 

1427
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,366
better use you know um my 

1428
00:46:30,366 --> 00:46:32,533
services elsewhere um since our 

1429
00:46:32,533 --> 00:46:34,867
census was low but at the point 

1430
00:46:34,867 --> 00:46:35,933
of the coveted patients did 

1431
00:46:35,933 --> 00:46:37,466
start coming in and became 

1432
00:46:37,466 --> 00:46:39,167
inevitable that all nurses 

1433
00:46:39,167 --> 00:46:40,432
everywhere you know the peak 

1434
00:46:40,432 --> 00:46:41,067
initially was in New York, but 

1435
00:46:41,067 --> 00:46:43,033
you know we have. All may face 

1436
00:46:43,033 --> 00:46:44,867
it at some point and as we can 

1437
00:46:44,867 --> 00:46:46,400
see that’s going on to happen 

1438
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:47,967
we going on to see numbers 

1439
00:46:47,967 --> 00:46:48,700
increase everywhere in hot 

1440
00:46:48,700 --> 00:46:50,867
spots, pop up everywhere as 

1441
00:46:50,867 --> 00:46:53,467
well, so I have to mirror uh 

1442
00:46:53,467 --> 00:46:55,932
every sentimental okay um now 

1443
00:46:55,932 --> 00:46:56,867
let me just ask this question 

1444
00:46:56,867 --> 00:46:59,167
so Everett. I’m glad that you 

1445
00:46:59,167 --> 00:47:01,500
were um that you recovered and 

1446
00:47:01,500 --> 00:47:03,300
you didn’t have any uh didn’t 

1447
00:47:03,300 --> 00:47:04,199
sound like you had any true 

1448
00:47:04,199 --> 00:47:05,833
issues from covet other than 

1449
00:47:05,833 --> 00:47:06,866
testing positive cuz you’re 

1450
00:47:06,866 --> 00:47:08,432
asymptomatic now, but not 

1451
00:47:08,432 --> 00:47:09,966
everyone’s gonna be as lucky as 

1452
00:47:09,966 --> 00:47:12,133
you are, for example, um our 

1453
00:47:12,133 --> 00:47:13,100
other guest who is supposed to 

1454
00:47:13,100 --> 00:47:15,932
be with us uh this evening she 

1455
00:47:15,932 --> 00:47:17,233
um and also in this here in 

1456
00:47:17,233 --> 00:47:20,432
southern California. Our IC 

1457
00:47:20,432 --> 00:47:22,866
capacity is zero like beds are 

1458
00:47:22,866 --> 00:47:25,633
full like they got overflow the 

1459
00:47:25,633 --> 00:47:28,066
other day I was taking I was 

1460
00:47:28,066 --> 00:47:28,833
They followed me to the pools 

1461
00:47:28,833 --> 00:47:30,866
for you and I’m like he’s unit. 

1462
00:47:30,866 --> 00:47:32,633
I get there’s all adults so I’m 

1463
00:47:32,633 --> 00:47:35,900
like, okay so it’s just full 

1464
00:47:35,900 --> 00:47:38,966
right super full um but because 

1465
00:47:38,966 --> 00:47:40,466
our I see she was doing a 

1466
00:47:40,466 --> 00:47:41,267
travel assignment here in 

1467
00:47:41,267 --> 00:47:42,967
Southern California because she 

1468
00:47:42,967 --> 00:47:44,434
knew she was sick, but she 

1469
00:47:44,434 --> 00:47:46,033
could because she knew her Acu 

1470
00:47:46,033 --> 00:47:46,600
capacity was low. She actually 

1471
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,533
got in her car and. Drove all 

1472
00:47:48,533 --> 00:47:51,332
the way back home to like two 

1473
00:47:51,332 --> 00:47:52,933
three states over so she can 

1474
00:47:52,933 --> 00:47:54,399
get care um fortunately, she 

1475
00:47:54,399 --> 00:47:56,432
was able to get there, but I 

1476
00:47:56,432 --> 00:47:58,934
worry that not everyone is 

1477
00:47:58,934 --> 00:48:00,833
going to be strong enough on 

1478
00:48:00,833 --> 00:48:02,900
that good enough health to do 

1479
00:48:02,900 --> 00:48:07,133
that so um if you’re going to 

1480
00:48:07,133 --> 00:48:10,066
roll the dice and go for this 

1481
00:48:10,066 --> 00:48:11,933
high-paying assignment um is 

1482
00:48:11,933 --> 00:48:13,033
that something that you should 

1483
00:48:13,033 --> 00:48:14,266
talk to your family about first 

1484
00:48:14,266 --> 00:48:16,000
before you do it or I mean like 

1485
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,866
are there certain conversation. 

1486
00:48:17,866 --> 00:48:18,933
You should have before you 

1487
00:48:18,933 --> 00:48:22,100
actually say yes to the 

1488
00:48:22,100 --> 00:48:25,932
recruiter. absolutely um and II 

1489
00:48:25,932 --> 00:48:27,500
obviously can’t speak on this 

1490
00:48:27,500 --> 00:48:30,967
in any great detail but um I 

1491
00:48:30,967 --> 00:48:32,733
know for a fact that there were 

1492
00:48:32,733 --> 00:48:35,366
several several um you know 

1493
00:48:35,366 --> 00:48:36,700
nurses who had traveled to New 

1494
00:48:36,700 --> 00:48:38,966
York, who didn’t make it back 

1495
00:48:38,966 --> 00:48:39,533
home to their families um and 

1496
00:48:39,533 --> 00:48:41,699
so I think yes, that’s 

1497
00:48:41,699 --> 00:48:42,600
definitely a conversation that 

1498
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:43,700
you need to have with your 

1499
00:48:43,700 --> 00:48:45,500
loved ones because you know it 

1500
00:48:45,500 --> 00:48:46,232
no different than if you are 

1501
00:48:46,232 --> 00:48:48,966
working. Obviously, you know at 

1502
00:48:48,966 --> 00:48:51,400
a home unit, but to do you know 

1503
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:52,733
we put ourselves at risk? You 

1504
00:48:52,733 --> 00:48:54,499
know. that’s what we’ve always 

1505
00:48:54,499 --> 00:48:56,433
done and unfortunately it can 

1506
00:48:56,433 --> 00:48:57,133
have detrimental consequences 

1507
00:48:57,133 --> 00:49:00,400
so yes conversations with 

1508
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:01,333
family and friends and anyone 

1509
00:49:01,333 --> 00:49:03,400
that you love or care about is 

1510
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,233
necessary. Okay. Yeah. Oh. go 

1511
00:49:05,233 --> 00:49:07,332
ahead. Try to say the same you 

1512
00:49:07,332 --> 00:49:08,999
know I set out um I talked to 

1513
00:49:08,999 --> 00:49:11,233
my wife first um then I told my 

1514
00:49:11,233 --> 00:49:14,000
kids and you know they were all 

1515
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,366
I mean they kinda used to me 

1516
00:49:15,366 --> 00:49:17,166
doing I guess dangerous things 

1517
00:49:17,166 --> 00:49:18,233
you know I was was a 

1518
00:49:18,233 --> 00:49:19,800
firefighter on a helicopter so 

1519
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:20,300
that part I guess they’re 

1520
00:49:20,300 --> 00:49:22,899
kinda. Too, but I’ve never been 

1521
00:49:22,899 --> 00:49:25,400
away from home this long um 

1522
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:27,566
last time my mother actually 

1523
00:49:27,566 --> 00:49:29,432
cried when I told her I was 

1524
00:49:29,432 --> 00:49:31,533
going back again. um so I mean 

1525
00:49:31,533 --> 00:49:32,500
it’s you you need to have a 

1526
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:33,932
conversation just so that 

1527
00:49:33,932 --> 00:49:35,432
everybody is aware uh and then 

1528
00:49:35,432 --> 00:49:37,533
you have to make a decision as 

1529
00:49:37,533 --> 00:49:38,967
to whether or not you know 

1530
00:49:38,967 --> 00:49:39,633
everybody’s gonna be 

1531
00:49:39,633 --> 00:49:44,167
comfortable with it um. 

1532
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,100
Alright, now we I wanted to uh 

1533
00:49:47,100 --> 00:49:48,533
I put this coming up from 

1534
00:49:48,533 --> 00:49:50,000
Courtney, she said. Ask about 

1535
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,467
paid coveted time off and when 

1536
00:49:52,467 --> 00:49:53,833
taking a contract also ask 

1537
00:49:53,833 --> 00:49:55,200
about obtaining the coveted 

1538
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,466
vaccine so in your travel 

1539
00:49:57,466 --> 00:49:58,232
assignments, I mean the Kobe 

1540
00:49:58,232 --> 00:50:00,399
vaccine is new now, but our 

1541
00:50:00,399 --> 00:50:03,567
travel are um travel agencies 

1542
00:50:03,567 --> 00:50:05,466
offering Kobe vaccine to their 

1543
00:50:05,466 --> 00:50:06,067
staff that are travelling and 

1544
00:50:06,067 --> 00:50:10,133
do they imagine um I don’t know 

1545
00:50:10,133 --> 00:50:12,266
I don’t know about this paid 

1546
00:50:12,266 --> 00:50:13,900
coveted time off. uh this maybe 

1547
00:50:13,900 --> 00:50:15,100
it’s if you get coveted on a 

1548
00:50:15,100 --> 00:50:17,133
travel assignment does the 

1549
00:50:17,133 --> 00:50:19,767
travel agency you again? How or 

1550
00:50:19,767 --> 00:50:20,933
is that part of the well you 

1551
00:50:20,933 --> 00:50:22,900
took the 10000? That’s on you 

1552
00:50:22,900 --> 00:50:27,099
so for me um when I when I came 

1553
00:50:27,099 --> 00:50:28,767
back with covet uh I’ve heard 

1554
00:50:28,767 --> 00:50:29,833
that it’s changed. I have not 

1555
00:50:29,833 --> 00:50:31,699
read that in right or read that 

1556
00:50:31,699 --> 00:50:35,000
myself, but when I got back, I 

1557
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:36,999
went straight to the hotel to 

1558
00:50:36,999 --> 00:50:39,500
quarantine until I test um and 

1559
00:50:39,500 --> 00:50:41,000
when I found out, I was 

1560
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,366
positive, I actually got in 

1561
00:50:43,366 --> 00:50:44,167
touch with the travel agency 

1562
00:50:44,167 --> 00:50:47,100
and let them know. Hey, I’m 

1563
00:50:47,100 --> 00:50:48,000
went straight to a hotel that 

1564
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:49,032
was the last place that I was. 

1565
00:50:49,032 --> 00:50:50,567
The only thing that I’ve done 

1566
00:50:50,567 --> 00:50:52,933
is go test and I’m positive um 

1567
00:50:52,933 --> 00:50:55,966
so I have paid for my uh 

1568
00:50:55,966 --> 00:50:57,366
quarantine time and my hotel 

1569
00:50:57,366 --> 00:50:59,900
stay again. I’ve heard that’s 

1570
00:50:59,900 --> 00:51:02,432
changed. I’m not certain um but 

1571
00:51:02,432 --> 00:51:04,232
that’s that was the case for me 

1572
00:51:04,232 --> 00:51:06,967
um and what was the other 

1573
00:51:06,967 --> 00:51:09,599
question? um yeah the vaccine 

1574
00:51:09,599 --> 00:51:12,133
uh where I was. They wanted you 

1575
00:51:12,133 --> 00:51:14,633
to be there for 21 days um or 

1576
00:51:14,633 --> 00:51:16,933
28 days. should I say if you 

1577
00:51:16,933 --> 00:51:18,833
got the vaccine so that you can 

1578
00:51:18,833 --> 00:51:21,333
get both doses there. Um, but I 

1579
00:51:21,333 --> 00:51:23,633
know a few people who got the 

1580
00:51:23,633 --> 00:51:24,800
first dose and then they’re 

1581
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,467
hoping to get the second dose 

1582
00:51:26,467 --> 00:51:28,467
back home. um not sure how that 

1583
00:51:28,467 --> 00:51:30,167
affects everything but I don’t 

1584
00:51:30,167 --> 00:51:31,700
you know I don’t I don’t in my 

1585
00:51:31,700 --> 00:51:33,900
personal opinion like you said 

1586
00:51:33,900 --> 00:51:35,433
earlier if nurses was rolling 

1587
00:51:35,433 --> 00:51:37,167
this out, it would be a little 

1588
00:51:37,167 --> 00:51:38,300
bit different. I think you 

1589
00:51:38,300 --> 00:51:40,466
should be able to get the first 

1590
00:51:40,466 --> 00:51:42,000
dose wherever you are and get 

1591
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:43,700
the next dose back home. I 

1592
00:51:43,700 --> 00:51:45,167
mean, especially if you’re 

1593
00:51:45,167 --> 00:51:46,166
travelling for the pandemic, 

1594
00:51:46,166 --> 00:51:47,466
you know you raise a good point 

1595
00:51:47,466 --> 00:51:48,867
and I didn’t even think of 

1596
00:51:48,867 --> 00:51:50,567
that. What do we do for our our 

1597
00:51:50,567 --> 00:51:52,566
staff? our folks that. Our 

1598
00:51:52,566 --> 00:51:54,933
remote moving around, you know 

1599
00:51:54,933 --> 00:51:56,366
well if you get it at one side 

1600
00:51:56,366 --> 00:51:57,767
cuz I do want you to you to 

1601
00:51:57,767 --> 00:51:59,000
come back to that to get it 

1602
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,033
again. That’s interesting, but 

1603
00:52:00,033 --> 00:52:01,900
I’m sure nurses gonna figure 

1604
00:52:01,900 --> 00:52:03,466
this out for everybody, you 

1605
00:52:03,466 --> 00:52:06,000
know um now there was another 

1606
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,932
question, someone said. Uh do 

1607
00:52:07,932 --> 00:52:09,566
you know of anyone because of 

1608
00:52:09,566 --> 00:52:10,967
these high paying travel 

1609
00:52:10,967 --> 00:52:12,166
contracts? Some people like Oh, 

1610
00:52:12,166 --> 00:52:13,733
I quit. I’m out deuces. I’m 

1611
00:52:13,733 --> 00:52:15,933
gonna get like leave their 

1612
00:52:15,933 --> 00:52:17,333
employer straight out, 

1613
00:52:17,333 --> 00:52:18,932
sometimes not even 2 week 

1614
00:52:18,932 --> 00:52:20,699
notice travel travel assignment 

1615
00:52:20,699 --> 00:52:21,867
comes through like oh they lied 

1616
00:52:21,867 --> 00:52:24,433
to can you start. Next week and 

1617
00:52:24,433 --> 00:52:25,332
they’ve checked the deuces to 

1618
00:52:25,332 --> 00:52:27,699
their current employer who’s 

1619
00:52:27,699 --> 00:52:28,967
still suffering from Kobe 

1620
00:52:28,967 --> 00:52:30,167
nineteen so wherever you go, 

1621
00:52:30,167 --> 00:52:33,099
It’s like Rob Peter to pay Paul 

1622
00:52:33,099 --> 00:52:34,000
Somebody’s gonna be left, but 

1623
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,500
you all know of nurses and what 

1624
00:52:36,500 --> 00:52:37,932
and what do you say to who are 

1625
00:52:37,932 --> 00:52:39,033
contemplating just checking the 

1626
00:52:39,033 --> 00:52:41,066
deuces last minute and leaving 

1627
00:52:41,066 --> 00:52:43,000
I think it’s something to 

1628
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,933
really consider um for me I was 

1629
00:52:44,933 --> 00:52:46,966
on contract at my hospital and 

1630
00:52:46,966 --> 00:52:49,900
I kind of did the math um I had 

1631
00:52:49,900 --> 00:52:51,299
a like maybe four or 5 weeks 

1632
00:52:51,299 --> 00:52:54,500
left on my. Contract um before 

1633
00:52:54,500 --> 00:52:57,300
I would be um you know before I 

1634
00:52:57,300 --> 00:52:58,467
would have to renew if I wanted 

1635
00:52:58,467 --> 00:53:00,866
to so for me, I was already in 

1636
00:53:00,866 --> 00:53:02,466
a position where it gave me the 

1637
00:53:02,466 --> 00:53:04,433
flexibility to make a call like 

1638
00:53:04,433 --> 00:53:06,000
that and you know decide to 

1639
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,732
choose to go to New York to 

1640
00:53:07,732 --> 00:53:09,866
help out um in a different area 

1641
00:53:09,866 --> 00:53:11,533
um, however, yes like you 

1642
00:53:11,533 --> 00:53:14,467
mentioned lots of nurses use um 

1643
00:53:14,467 --> 00:53:17,067
Pto to go uh had friends in 

1644
00:53:17,067 --> 00:53:17,966
different areas that were 

1645
00:53:17,966 --> 00:53:18,833
telling me that they were 

1646
00:53:18,833 --> 00:53:20,300
seeing some of their colleagues 

1647
00:53:20,300 --> 00:53:22,566
from from other hospitals. Uh 

1648
00:53:22,566 --> 00:53:24,000
kinda popping up there and 

1649
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:25,932
they’re like hey, you know I 

1650
00:53:25,932 --> 00:53:27,467
was sick. Wait a minute how you 

1651
00:53:27,467 --> 00:53:30,000
at that type of thing um and 

1652
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:31,733
then I even uh knew people who 

1653
00:53:31,733 --> 00:53:32,533
said they ask their employer if 

1654
00:53:32,533 --> 00:53:34,033
they could go and help out with 

1655
00:53:34,033 --> 00:53:35,600
the pandemic and many employers 

1656
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,100
I heard um from the you know 

1657
00:53:38,100 --> 00:53:39,966
foul cuz they were ten I think 

1658
00:53:39,966 --> 00:53:42,232
maybe you can better help me um 

1659
00:53:42,232 --> 00:53:43,566
but I think it was we have it 

1660
00:53:43,566 --> 00:53:45,932
was upwards of maybe 15000 plus 

1661
00:53:45,932 --> 00:53:46,366
nurses from all over the 

1662
00:53:46,366 --> 00:53:47,467
country. So you heard all kinds 

1663
00:53:47,467 --> 00:53:50,433
of stories but I heard both 

1664
00:53:50,433 --> 00:53:51,866
many people literally thought 

1665
00:53:51,866 --> 00:53:53,367
that because they were trying 

1666
00:53:53,367 --> 00:53:54,199
to do a good thing and going 

1667
00:53:54,199 --> 00:53:55,133
and help out of the pandemic 

1668
00:53:55,133 --> 00:53:57,333
that they’re uh manager would. 

1669
00:53:57,333 --> 00:53:58,967
Welcoming and supportive and 

1670
00:53:58,967 --> 00:54:01,433
say, hey, go go and help and 

1671
00:54:01,433 --> 00:54:02,633
know there were a horror 

1672
00:54:02,633 --> 00:54:03,299
stories where they’re like. 

1673
00:54:03,299 --> 00:54:05,500
Okay. If you go, we know you’re 

1674
00:54:05,500 --> 00:54:07,233
there and you’re done. um I 

1675
00:54:07,233 --> 00:54:09,299
think I met some person who was 

1676
00:54:09,299 --> 00:54:10,433
saying that they’re a manager 

1677
00:54:10,433 --> 00:54:11,000
kinda threatened to call the 

1678
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,000
board of nursing for 

1679
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:16,000
abandonment Um I mean I heard 

1680
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:17,432
some of everything and then I 

1681
00:54:17,432 --> 00:54:18,733
even heard of the manager who 

1682
00:54:18,733 --> 00:54:19,432
said you know what right now 

1683
00:54:19,432 --> 00:54:21,600
our census is low. go. You know 

1684
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:22,833
you have a place to come back 

1685
00:54:22,833 --> 00:54:25,600
to so it really just kinda 

1686
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:26,499
depends. I’ve heard it all um 

1687
00:54:26,499 --> 00:54:28,299
but if you’re you’re in a 

1688
00:54:28,299 --> 00:54:29,167
position um you don’t have a 

1689
00:54:29,167 --> 00:54:31,166
lot of. And what I mean by that 

1690
00:54:31,166 --> 00:54:33,233
is that maybe you’re someone 

1691
00:54:33,233 --> 00:54:34,500
with limited experience or say 

1692
00:54:34,500 --> 00:54:35,866
you’re in a hospital system, 

1693
00:54:35,866 --> 00:54:38,434
for example, here in Georgia, 

1694
00:54:38,434 --> 00:54:39,666
Emory is a huge hospital system 

1695
00:54:39,666 --> 00:54:41,333
and it used to be before a lot 

1696
00:54:41,333 --> 00:54:43,366
of their areas. merged together 

1697
00:54:43,366 --> 00:54:44,266
you had all of these options, 

1698
00:54:44,266 --> 00:54:46,033
but now you know you may wanna 

1699
00:54:46,033 --> 00:54:47,400
think twice before legal 

1700
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:48,933
hospital system cuz you may not 

1701
00:54:48,933 --> 00:54:50,400
you know you’re down the street 

1702
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,100
and you know get another job so 

1703
00:54:52,100 --> 00:54:54,467
easily so just really comes 

1704
00:54:54,467 --> 00:54:56,333
down to um again, you know 

1705
00:54:56,333 --> 00:54:57,933
those personal choices. you 

1706
00:54:57,933 --> 00:54:58,533
know how much experience how 

1707
00:54:58,533 --> 00:55:00,900
comfortable you are. I know 

1708
00:55:00,900 --> 00:55:02,367
people who um who want to help 

1709
00:55:02,367 --> 00:55:03,932
out in New York and they had 

1710
00:55:03,932 --> 00:55:04,966
limited experience, but now 

1711
00:55:04,966 --> 00:55:06,566
they’ve kinda been thrust into 

1712
00:55:06,566 --> 00:55:08,000
the travel nursing area area 

1713
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:09,633
because there’s going back. We 

1714
00:55:09,633 --> 00:55:10,666
didn’t even have a year of 

1715
00:55:10,666 --> 00:55:12,366
experience before you left. So 

1716
00:55:12,366 --> 00:55:13,900
now you’re kinda out there, 

1717
00:55:13,900 --> 00:55:14,833
which isn’t necessarily a bad 

1718
00:55:14,833 --> 00:55:16,366
thing. I think it’s just like I 

1719
00:55:16,366 --> 00:55:19,599
said, Come to that personal um 

1720
00:55:19,599 --> 00:55:21,532
choice and you know the tip off 

1721
00:55:21,532 --> 00:55:22,832
the fall where they may you 

1722
00:55:22,832 --> 00:55:25,833
know exactly so um, which is 

1723
00:55:25,833 --> 00:55:27,100
another question since we’re in 

1724
00:55:27,100 --> 00:55:30,500
um pandemic status. All the 

1725
00:55:30,500 --> 00:55:31,933
rules are are we’re making them 

1726
00:55:31,933 --> 00:55:33,433
up as we go. Let’s just say 

1727
00:55:33,433 --> 00:55:36,899
that um can you grant travelers 

1728
00:55:36,899 --> 00:55:39,067
I mean we’re desperate we need 

1729
00:55:39,067 --> 00:55:41,466
the body who knows how to check 

1730
00:55:41,466 --> 00:55:45,066
a post do a blood pressure will 

1731
00:55:45,066 --> 00:55:47,100
care I can’t work for desperate 

1732
00:55:47,100 --> 00:55:49,600
measures and what I will say is 

1733
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,000
if you know because initially I 

1734
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,566
think um they were looking to 

1735
00:55:53,566 --> 00:55:56,933
what allow nursing students and 

1736
00:55:56,933 --> 00:55:58,700
even me students temporary 

1737
00:55:58,700 --> 00:55:59,600
licenses. So I think it’s the 

1738
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:03,600
if the climate uh. Got or gets 

1739
00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:05,500
desperate enough? Um I think 

1740
00:56:05,500 --> 00:56:06,966
ever made the point earlier 

1741
00:56:06,966 --> 00:56:08,433
that they’ll use you where they 

1742
00:56:08,433 --> 00:56:10,100
can so to speak for. I think 

1743
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:11,599
the climate would just maybe 

1744
00:56:11,599 --> 00:56:13,900
have to call for you know be 

1745
00:56:13,900 --> 00:56:15,466
better It made sense. I’d say 

1746
00:56:15,466 --> 00:56:17,700
the simple answer is yes, you 

1747
00:56:17,700 --> 00:56:21,866
know that would hurt but um I 

1748
00:56:21,866 --> 00:56:23,467
just like we learn so much 

1749
00:56:23,467 --> 00:56:25,967
about delegation in nursing 

1750
00:56:25,967 --> 00:56:27,599
school. uh you have to be 

1751
00:56:27,599 --> 00:56:28,966
willing to know what you can 

1752
00:56:28,966 --> 00:56:29,966
and can’t do if you decide you 

1753
00:56:29,966 --> 00:56:32,532
wanna travel. This pandemic and 

1754
00:56:32,532 --> 00:56:34,000
you find yourself in a 

1755
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,866
situation that um you’re 

1756
00:56:36,866 --> 00:56:38,266
potentially gonna cause more 

1757
00:56:38,266 --> 00:56:39,700
harm than good. Then you gotta 

1758
00:56:39,700 --> 00:56:41,366
be willing to walk away. I mean 

1759
00:56:41,366 --> 00:56:42,933
how important is to check to 

1760
00:56:42,933 --> 00:56:44,766
you um so that’s the only thing 

1761
00:56:44,766 --> 00:56:46,133
that I would say if you find 

1762
00:56:46,133 --> 00:56:47,500
yourself where you’re a new 

1763
00:56:47,500 --> 00:56:48,833
grad and they said they were 

1764
00:56:48,833 --> 00:56:51,099
gonna use you at a nursing home 

1765
00:56:51,099 --> 00:56:52,666
um but then you find yourself 

1766
00:56:52,666 --> 00:56:55,099
with a patient load and I see 

1767
00:56:55,099 --> 00:56:58,200
no. IIII would hope that he 

1768
00:56:58,200 --> 00:56:59,833
would be responsible enough to 

1769
00:56:59,833 --> 00:57:02,000
say. hey look I can’t do this 

1770
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:02,633
and if that means you gotta go 

1771
00:57:02,633 --> 00:57:05,866
home, then you gotta go home 

1772
00:57:05,866 --> 00:57:08,567
exactly um so being honest, 

1773
00:57:08,567 --> 00:57:10,533
rather be honest and upfront 

1774
00:57:10,533 --> 00:57:11,567
versus potentially put yourself 

1775
00:57:11,567 --> 00:57:13,133
in a situation. could you could 

1776
00:57:13,133 --> 00:57:14,367
you could harm someone else and 

1777
00:57:14,367 --> 00:57:16,900
jeopardize your license um and 

1778
00:57:16,900 --> 00:57:17,932
you know before we wrap up. I’m 

1779
00:57:17,932 --> 00:57:20,433
gonna get to it just a few more 

1780
00:57:20,433 --> 00:57:22,000
questions um what is considered 

1781
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,432
a travelers how far away? Do 

1782
00:57:23,432 --> 00:57:24,934
you have to go to travel like 

1783
00:57:24,934 --> 00:57:26,600
what’s? I think it’s fifty 

1784
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,466
miles both agencies. So who 

1785
00:57:30,466 --> 00:57:32,966
contracted was anyways? um 

1786
00:57:32,966 --> 00:57:34,633
there’s I’d say in addition to 

1787
00:57:34,633 --> 00:57:36,766
the rate and stipend 

1788
00:57:36,766 --> 00:57:38,200
independent, you can travel 

1789
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,700
nurse around the corner, but 

1790
00:57:40,700 --> 00:57:42,399
your rate and you’re stipend 

1791
00:57:42,399 --> 00:57:44,467
maybe less than if you were 

1792
00:57:44,467 --> 00:57:45,367
outside those fifty miles. 

1793
00:57:45,367 --> 00:57:46,400
That’s the that’s been my 

1794
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:48,600
experience if it’s greater than 

1795
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,467
fifty miles, it would um come 

1796
00:57:50,467 --> 00:57:53,000
with this stipend or this 

1797
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:54,533
lodging allowance, but if it 

1798
00:57:54,533 --> 00:57:56,433
was within fifty miles, you got 

1799
00:57:56,433 --> 00:57:57,300
the same pay rate, but you 

1800
00:57:57,300 --> 00:57:59,900
didn’t. The mileage mileage or 

1801
00:57:59,900 --> 00:58:02,500
the lodging compensation Okay, 

1802
00:58:02,500 --> 00:58:04,000
so these are all good things. 

1803
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:05,966
Listen. Do you have a travel 

1804
00:58:05,966 --> 00:58:06,799
nursing book or something on 

1805
00:58:06,799 --> 00:58:07,799
this because these are some 

1806
00:58:07,799 --> 00:58:08,967
really great tips. I wish we
