Making a living being a nurse, having a good YouTube channel, no rent AND you can walk to work? Well done, man 👊🏻
-
My husband lived in his car in a hospital underground parking garage for four days. Miles away from home he couldn’t afford a hotel room because everything in the general area was very expensive, but there he was living in his car while waiting for me to get through surgery and recovery. He said it was tough at times but being able to visit and spend time with me every day without having to travel so far made it an easy choice. I love him everyday for it.
-
How is he not contributing to society when he is saving lives.
-
I am so disgusted by that comment at the beginning saying this awesome guy is not contributing to society. More like society doesn't show appreciation by paying most of it's staff enough!!
-
Being in the medical field for over 20years, I can honestly say that the nurses are the backbone of the field. Many thanks for being a nurse:thanksdoc:
-
As a doctor, I always say that a good nurse is worth his/her weight in gold. Take care of yourself and don't burn out. Your service is greatly appreciated and very much needed ❤.
-
Aussie RN for past 18 years here. The patients are the best part of the job; I always have treated them how I would like to be treated in their situation.
-
My son has a dream of becoming a nurse, he's 14 and found your channel. We've been watching for awhile. He is so inspired and I really appreciate you for documenting your life. This is dope! Please know you are inspiring my child. Thank you!
-
It’s awesome you were nominated for the Daisy Award! That speaks volumes for how you treat your patients. Much respect!
-
Your life is too precious to be concerned with negative people. I’m 62 now and came to that realisation, life is too short for these type of people. Carry on being the lovely person you are.
-
There is no way i could live without being able to stand up. You have a lot of patience
-
Years ago, my husband knew a fellow whose daughter was a nurse. She drove truck and camper to Northern Canada. They let her park and plug in their parking lot. She provided a wonderful service to a Northern area that needed nurses. All the best to us all!! 👍
-
As an RN, you must be saving tons of money living in your vehicle while you are young. Nothing to be ashamed of there, you are doing great.
-
What a perfect situation. Parked in a safe place, close to work, no rent, etc. Very smart man
-
Thank you Nurses for all you do. I wish more people recognized the importance of your field.
-
When you said you just love making someone feel special, well that is a true nurse at heart. I just retired after 50 yrs doing family practice office nursing, homecare nursing and wound care nursing . I absolutely LOVE nursing. Now that I am retired I volunteer as a nurse for Mission of Mercy in MD. Can't see me ever not helping people especially elderly and those less fortunate. Great to see there are still young nurses out there like you. God bless and continue the great selfish work you do.😊
-
You totally deserve that Daisy Award. It is so obvious that you really care about your patients. Congratulations!
-
Fellow Nurse here. I was born for this role. It's a hard job though. Living in a van is hard too. Filming and creating content is hard. Sleeping in a cramped area is hard. Living alone is hard. Are you forged from titanium? Could you let us in on some of the gravy of your life? Please don't burn out. The World needs great Nurses. ❤ Big hugs!
-
I know the feeling helping others with nothing in return is the best feeling making someone smile and happy is so me. I have always been a caregiver type of guy to the elderly.
-
You over there living your best life and eating what you want. Good for you. I know you must be an exceptional nurse! bless you
