I love watching his videos, he uses the truth in Nursing with humor...Nursing is very hard and extremely stressful...

I love watching nurse John! I was a cna for about 5 years. The burn out it very real. I’ve taken a huge break of the health care industry. I have not decided if I want to go back because of this very reason. And I also love my current job working on a call center. I’ve learned a lot from the company and I’ve been able to grow within the company.

Thank you Nurse John for your service with the healthcare community. You and others like you are underappreciated. I wish the employers of these tireless medical professionals would pay them what they are actually worth and take heed of their need to attend to their mental and emotional health. I hope you are doing well Nurse John. We love you and all of your colleagues!💖💕💙💜💛💚

[erwinlearns]

Even im not a nurse, i can 100% relate to this. i resigned from my work due to anxiety. i love the work but not the working environment anymore

[cherokeefit]

Too bad he’s the diamond in the rough as the healthcare in Canada is a killer

[gryla]

Jeez louise it's only been 2 years since he became a nurse and now he's on a mental health break? I expected it to be this bad from America but not Canada

[PinayInCanadaThomaschannel]

Me too, , i went home and had mental breakdown. I love being a nurse but the system of nursing sucks! So stressful.
Nurse John did in the videos are accurately true, , no joke! It could be in a comedy form but thats the reality.

He's not from Quebec, he is a Filipino thus he's from the Philippines.

Two years? Tell me how hard it is when you’ve done 25+.

[mashedpotato]

all he got was some camera light, his phone, hiw own bathroom and the scrubs

[Sanchej]

Yay I agree we love the job, but NOT the working condition!

[rubydawn]

easy to do when your in the healthcare proffession.

[SeriousleySpeaking]

There is nothing Funny at this moment with Quebec Health Care System and getting a Family Doctor and proper care and follow ups for so many elderly and patients in General especially after Heart Attacks and so many other Tramas...I think he should maybe do things a little more subtle...Bless his heart for it is in the right place but it is just the wrong time am sure he gives his all to patients and may he continue to be such an inspiration...You our appreciated no matter what you do...
