Ended up passing nursing school. Went to go take my NCLEX. Bombed it on the first one. How did you feel about that? Oh, I felt defeated. Yeah. I felt like maybe this isn't for me. Mm-hmm. Took the NCLEX again. Bombed that one. Damn. Okay. Hell yeah. I think it's worse.

And he's probably going to bring the Mardi Gras in this episode. And you probably have seen him on social media. The one and only Logan. Nurse Logan. What's up? What's up? Thank you for having me.

Thank you for coming in here in Milwaukee. And it's so weird, honestly, guys, because like I just chatted Logan one time. I was like, hey, would you be down to come down to Milwaukee and watch the show? And what was your response to that? I was like, damn, I got to work. I ended up changing my entire work week schedule just to make it out here to come hang out with y'all.

He's so sweet, you guys. I'm such a last minute person. I don't know about you guys, but I'm so last minute. Like all my plans and all my friends are piss at me because I would just randomly text him like, guys, do you guys want to go to like Italy? And they're like, John,

when is this next week and they're like what the fuck are you talking about and i'm just such that kind of person like i feel like it's so bad to be doing that to like strangers because i have not met logan like that this is the first time we've ever met together and like i found him on social media because i don't know he's just so funny and i was like you know what like i want to be friends with this guy

So thank you for coming down in here. Thank you for changing your whole schedule. I hope like none of your coworkers are listening to this right now because they're like, what the fuck? This is what you're probably going to be listening to this. They're going to be listening to this. Yes. Shout out to the medical ICU where Logan works. I hope you are listening to this right now. Hope y'all patient are intubated today to restrain because you don't want them causing you out every single night and day. Love you guys.

But okay. So again, yeah. Thank you for changing. No, not changing. Well, changing your whole schedule, but at the same time coming in here and being with us. And we're actually going to have a MERS weekend. Yeah. MERS weekend. MERS weekend. Like male nurses weekend because Carson is going to come down here. Logan is here. Mikael, Nurse Mikael, Nurse Austin.

And yeah, we're just going to have a MERS weekend, which is he's bringing down the south in here in the Midwest, in the Midwest, in Milwaukee. All right. Well, Logan, they're probably going to want to know who you are. So why don't you introduce yourself? The stage is yours. So my name is Logan. I'm from Louisiana, small town, just started doing social media. I've been a nurse for three years.

Started in ICU, continue to do ICU. No other specialty that I'd want to do. I think they're going to want to know more about you because I can hear the Southern accent. Yeah, it heavy. So Louisiana born and raised. Louisiana born and raised. Your parents are originally from there? Yes. Even grandparents? Grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents.

Holy shit. You are the real deal. You are the real Mardi Gras. Okay, so you grew up in Louisiana. Do you have any siblings? So I have one real sibling and then I have three step siblings. Okay, okay. And like, are you guys all close to age? Like what's the... So we range between... So I'm 24. I'm the oldest.

And then the youngest, I believe, is 13 or 14. 13, 14. OK. If I'm wrong, Lauren, sorry. And then it's just two of them are in the same grade. So they're both 20 right now. And then I have a 22 year old brother.

A 22-year-old brother. Yeah. Okay, so there's one that's closer to you, but it's your stepbrother. Okay, and is anyone in your family in healthcare? I have so many people that are in healthcare in my family. It's ridiculous. From NPs to nurses to doctors. So it just runs in the family kind of thing. Yeah, it runs in the family. What does your dad do? So my dad does...

Crop production services. So he like sells the chemicals to the farmers. Okay. Where they can go and spray in the fields and get all the bugs off the crops. That sounds like a lot of money. And your mother? My mom does. I believe she works for an investment company. Okay. Okay. And who's the people in health care in your family? Aunts, cousins, uncles.

Oh my God, yes, yes. Yes, because you travel nurse with one of your cousin who's also an ICU nurse. Shout out, Kay. Hey, that's my girl, Kay. I know she's working hard right now. Okay, so there is basically a lot of like healthcare influence in your life. Yeah.

Did that impact why you wanted to become a nurse? Or was nursing something you really wanted to do? So originally growing up, every kid wants to be a veterinarian, wants to help animals. So I was going to do that at first. And then it was like, yeah, I'm not smart enough to go and be a vet.

So then I was just kind of like just floating along like I didn't know really what I wanted to do and then realized I'm not built to work outside. No, I'm not going to work out in the heat. I'm not going to work out in the cold. A sassy man, period. So I was like, travel nurses make a bunch of money. Eczema isn't always obvious, but it's real. And so is the relief from Evglyss.

After an initial dosing phase of 16 weeks, about 4 in 10 people taking EBCLS achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin. And most of those people maintained skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing. EBCLS, Lebrechizumab LBKZ, a 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection, is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, that is not well controlled with

prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical therapies. Ebglus can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to Ebglus. Allergic reactions can occur that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with Ebglus. Before starting Ebglus, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Searching for real relief? Ask your doctor about Ebglus and visit ebglus.lily.com or call 1-800-LILY-RX or 1-800-545-5979.

So you just like, you know, I went to nursing school and actually fell in love with it. Fell in love. God damn. This younger generation of nurses be like, oh, my God, I just fell in love with nursing. I was like, bitch, the fuck? I did not fell in love with this shit. I was forced. I'm kidding. We have a love-hate relationship. It is always a love-hate relationship. So then it was never influenced from your family. But at the same time, I guess it's like...

you were not forced to do it or like okay i'm gonna be a nurse because like people in my family are you just like decided that this is what i think is good for me in the future and you just did it i mean and then you also have that extra benefit like you're helping people right for sure for sure have you always been the type to like help people around that was a hard question

What? You're putting me on the spot right now. Yeah, I put you on the spot. I mean, the benefit of watching somebody come into the ICU just completely, not like the benefit of watching them come into the ICU. Yeah, for sure, for sure. They'll come into the ICU. It's literally the worst of the worst that they ever have been. And to watch them literally walk out of there and completely healed.

and going just to med surg just to be taken care of and just making sure that everything's okay and then get out of the hospital that means the world oh yeah for sure honestly like that's so true just because like I feel like us as much as like we like I guess ER and other like

unit makes fun of icu of like having like one or two patient but those patient can feel like it's 10 oh yeah because of all the pumps that you guys regulate and all the stuff that you guys have to take care of and at the same time like you said like this people are in their sickest part of their lives and like the icu is like it's either you survive icu or you don't or you end from there and i think that's a hard part about nursing is that it's so normal for us to just feel numb and

And to be like, yeah, that's fine. Like it's, it's something that happens every single time, even though that experience that you just had is not normal for someone to see. Like someone dying became so normal to me that I feel like,

That's just weird. Like, I feel like that's traumatic. That's why I also cannot do ICU. Not just of the fact that it is true, though. Like, ICU gets the time to, like, sit down and chart and do all those stuff. Because, like, even though it's a heavy patient, you guys also are very meticulous about the things that you guys do. Because the amount of pumps you guys, like, manage is, like, insane.

insane it's ridiculous sometimes like how many pumps and it's the entire night you can't even sit down because all you're doing is chasing drips yeah yeah they're the drip people they got the drip but okay so you started nursing and how was nursing school for you nursing school was hard yeah traumatized from that traumatized okay well spill the tea so i started nursing school in covid

covid so we started doing zoom classes like all of my practicums like doing your physical assessment and stuff when did you start nursing school in 20 2019 2019 yeah i failed a few classes you feel a few classes which is totally fine yeah completely fine because guess what he's a nurse now and he's making money and guess what he's getting paid as like everyone else because like i think that's another thing sorry for cutting you off but like

A lot of people think that if you fail a subject in nursing or like you keep repeating an exam or something, they're like, my God, like I failed this twice or three times. Like, I don't think I'm meant for this. Oh, no, you're meant for it. You're meant for it. You got into nursing school. You're meant for it. Exactly. C's get degrees. C's get degrees. OK, so you started 2019. Started in 2019. So we were the COVID class.

Ended up having to drop one of my classes at one point. I failed fundamentals. I failed my first. Fundamentals? I failed fundamentals. I couldn't figure out how to take the test. Right. Because nursing school, every answer is right. You got to try to pick the best one. The best ones. Couldn't figure it out. Well, I ended up passing it on the second time. And then once we were a new curriculum as well.

So every single semester, they never had a set way of teaching us and everything would change. Right. Because it's COVID. Because it was COVID. And the part about being a new curriculum, they couldn't figure out how to actually set us up and how they wanted the curriculum to be. So...

Ended up passing nursing school. Went to go take my NCLEX. Bombed it on the first one. How did you feel about that? Oh, I felt defeated. Yeah. I felt like maybe this isn't for me. Mm-hmm. Took the NCLEX again. Bombed that one. Damn. Okay. Hell yeah. Oh, it gets worse. Huh? It gets worse. Why? Took the third one. Please. Bombed that one. What?

Wait. I've taken the NCLEX four times. Four times? It took me a year. I was working as a tech whenever I had passed with my nursing degree. I worked for a tech for a whole year before I passed my NCLEX. And that was my last try. That was your last try. Oh, why? In Louisiana, you can only take four tests. And then you have to sit out for three years and then try to retake it. Sit out? You have to sit out for three years. You can't go and retake it a fifth time.

That's insane to me. And my last three tests, I've taken the NCLEX to a full 150 questions. Yeah? Did you study on all of them? Oh, I used so many things to study. Yeah. And just nothing was helping. I couldn't figure out, like, every answer was right. I was trying to figure it out. And then we didn't have this new NCLEX that everybody has and you get partial credit now. Yeah, the partial credit is insane. I wish I had that. It was...

But like that test doesn't define you. It doesn't define what kind of nurse you're going to be. Right. Now, I'm not the smartest person, but I guarantee you my patients are taken care of. Exactly. And I do feel the same, too. Like I keep telling people, I was like, listen, the exams doesn't like you said, doesn't define you as a nurse. Because at the end of the day, it's just a test. No matter what, you're an A student or a C student.

You're all getting paid the same thing in the unit. And you're A's in the goddamn exam, which I'm not belittling or bullying anyone who gets A's because honestly, you guys are the smartest people out there. But listen to this. Once we all started working in the same unit, your paycheck and my paycheck will be the same fucking thing. And we will learn the same exact thing.

Fucking skills. And none of that 99, 100 shit would make any difference in terms of the care that you provide to your patient. Because that is subjective. That is your personality. That is who you are. Let's get one thing straight. We don't actually write care plans. No, we don't write care plans. I'm sorry, y'all. But like the care plans suck. It's irrelevant. Throw it out the window. Throw it out the window. Put it out there. Because honestly...

The only people who can do care plans these days are people who actually have time. And there's no nurses who got time these days. And if you do, tell us where you work because we're going to sign up in that unit because we don't have time. Because you never, you don't draw clouds and put things together and just like, this is my patient's care plan. Fuck that. The care plan is keep my patient stable and alive.

period to seven o'clock make it to 7 p.m to the next shift like that's literally is the plan so going back to nursing school so you passed the NCLEX finally on the fourth one by the time I got to the fourth one I had figured out like okay this is what I need to do I ended up finding this book that was really good

um it's on amazon what book was it saunders uh oh the saunders book yeah and click spread i love like i use you world i used mark clemec i used hearst review and then like adding them into each other trying to figure out a way that i could pass this damn test yeah and then i found that book and i was like you know what

i've done all three already if it ain't gonna help me it's not gonna help me on the next one only did that book and that's i ended up passing in collects flying colors oh period periods i was like okay maybe i'm actually smart i should you're like well for the four fucking time you haven't figured it out maybe it's time to switch the motherfucking thing but honestly one of my good friends one of my best friends took the enclex seven times

And I just want to shout out to Manny. Manny, I love you so much. And he is one of the most amazing nurses now. Like, I can't believe he had to go through seven NCLEX. And that's just to prove you guys again that it's not about this.

that matters. It's how you care for your patient, how you advocate for your patient, how you do your skills and work with colleagues. That's all that matters at the end of the day because I was bad in theory but I was so good in clinicals. My clinicals,

A plus plus plus plus. My nursing instructor literally would bring like I remember it's our psych rotation and he put me in the high risk psych rotation because he's like, I know you can handle this kind of patient. I was like, that's because of the medication I'm taking. Because like I got a story about me. We were in fundamentals whenever we were still like.

We were in nursing school together and we went to the med search floor and it was our first clinical day. Like we're doing our only physical assessments and that's it. Like not passing meds, not doing anything else.

Well, we walk into our patient's room and like we're introducing ourselves and we have like our little papers and we're checking all the stuff. We get to the neuro part and this patient's like talking to us. He's like, yeah, I got struck by lightning like seven times. Got hit by this big old 18 wheeler. I mean, Kate, look at each other and we're like oriented times four. Completely not with it. And we're just like oriented times four. Failed. That was the way I mean, like.

It's so unrealistic, some of these things. Because when you go to labs, the Sims lab. Do you guys have a Sims lab? We do. Like a simulation lab. It's not that good though. The worst fucking thing in the world. Because when you actually go to the real life situation clinical and you meet your patient, you're like, oh God, they...

they are worse than what this simulation labs makes you feel like it's all different like based on each person right and the simulation lab like literally the it's my text for the mannequin is like and they just keep stroked out it's choked out and they got they just got like a mini recorder in their mouth and they're it's it's your instructor speaking to it

I'm having a stroke right now. Like, okay, what the fuck is this? And then you actually see a stroke and you're like, what the fuck did I just notice? I'm like, oh, ma'am, are you okay? Hey, are you okay, ma'am? But, okay, so you did it. You made it to nursing school.

And how was it looking for a job as a nurse? Like, were you excited? Did you jump in right away? I was excited. I tried jumping in right away and then I ended up having to tech. But the good thing about it was my unit allowed me to tech on my floor. So I got to tech in ICU.

Oh, the same ICU that you work at. So I was just working as a tech in our ICU. So I'd help with turns and like we'd get CRTs and impellers. I knew how to use like the ultrasound IV machine before I even became a nurse. So you already had an experience. Did you choose to do that? So it was very easy during preceptorship because I knew what was going on and I knew how like how we take care of these patients and I knew how like our rules and everything. So that's kind of the same thing for me when I I I was like a pre-nursing nurse in

in the floor that I was working at and they just hired me as a nurse when I passed my NCLEX because I already know what's up and what's going on in that unit so it was so much easier to transition. Honestly, it's probably the best thing that anybody can do. If you're a nurse in school, go work as a tech. It'll make you into a better nurse. Right. And if you really like the unit that you're working at,

let's say you're a tech there and you graduated, just take your first job in there. Make your life so much easier because honestly, these days it's just so hard to fit in in nursing because the expectation you have of how it is when you're unknown to it is so much better than you get into a floor, something that let's say you wish you would have worked at. Let's say, oh, I really want to go to Peds. I

I see you and then you get to Pete's ICU and it's like the worst shit you've ever experienced. Now you're traumatized on your first ever freaking job as a nurse. So like, again, just going back, if you're already working in a hospital and that unit that you're working at is something that you already got comfortable with, apply to that as a nurse after.

And just work there for, I don't know, four or five months, six, seven months as a nurse. And when you're really feeling more comfortable about your skills and like what you've learned from nursing school, then move on to the unit or the specialty that you really want to work at. And like if, say you ever have an instructor, I mean instructor, my last one was like, you're never going to make it as an ICU nurse. You need to do med-surg.

Got the ICU position. Damn. Went and told her. She said, you might want to go and interview for Med Surge. You're not going to make it. She told that to you? Yeah. All right. So...

ICU, and then did you start your first ever job in Louisiana, and then you travel? So I started in Louisiana, ended up getting my two years in ICU. And then me and my cousin decided, like, we ended up going PRN, so we had no commitment with our hospital that we were at. We were just picking up shifts. Okay. Which, honestly, is probably the best thing that you can do. Yeah. Be a PRN, princess and king. Make your money.

You only go to work one to two days a week. You can go home, enjoy your life. That's it. Okay. So we went PRM and then we had decided, we knew we wanted to go travel. Since we had started nursing school, we wanted to go be travel nurses. So then we went to Arizona. Arizona? Why Arizona at all? We ended up knowing somebody over there. Okay. Ended up making the wrong choice because both our hospitals decided to...

Cut y'all off. Kate ended up quitting hers, but... Okay. They were horrible. What happened? This is your first travel job, right? This is our first travel job. Okay, spill the tea. What happened? So with mine, they...

I didn't want to resign my contract and they didn't like that. So they just, I was literally working three shifts in a row. I wake up on my third shift that morning, like that afternoon, because I work night shift and I get a text message from my recruiter saying, hey, don't show up at the facility today. They cut your contract. I was like, what do you mean cut it? Like I'm done over there? She said, yeah, I had a month left. And then

I texted her. I was like, what ended up happening? Because there was no like bad blood. Like I didn't do anything wrong. She was like, I'm going to reach out. A couple of days later, she finally texted me back. They said they have no reason. That's fucked up. Which I mean, it's in your contract that they can cut you at any time. You can cancel your contract at any time. But I mean, still, it's like if I didn't do nothing wrong and what ended up happening was that unit was short staffed that night.

So, like, I was supposed to be in the ICU working with them, like, as an extra body. Yeah. And they just... Cut you off. They just let the unit hard drive. There must be something that... These fucking bitches, I swear to God, they... But the manager was petty. Petty? Ugh, yeah.

Anyways, like that's another fucking topic for another day. But now let's talk about social media. How the hell did you start social media? What's going on? Well, I was in Arizona. I ended up coming back for a couple of days just to visit with family. Yeah. Well, I love my unit so much. Love all the people in the unit.

So I was like, let me pick up a shift. So I just picked up a shift. In Arizona? No, at home. Oh, at home. I flew back home and I was staying for like a week. And I was like, let me just pick up a shift. I'm going to work with my crew. Well, one of the nurses that I precepted, she was there that night. And I was like, we were on a lunch break. I was like, let's just make a TikTok real quick. We started the I'm a big dog and I do big dog shit. Yeah. I ended up putting the nurse and the baby nurse that he raised together.

And that's where that trend had started. Right. And we posted that and it went completely viral overnight. Yesterday. It went to like 5.5 million. Damn. I was like, good. Good, damn. Then I started just making more TikToks and getting followers. Did you always wanted to? I never thought I would have been doing this. Are you serious? Dead ass. Never thought. I don't like I never thought I had the personality for it.

Why not? You're literally talking on a podcast, right? I've been doing this. Yeah, but it's fun, right? Do you like social media? What is something that you like about social media? I love spreading the positive energy, trying to motivate nurses like we can all do this. Right, for sure. And trying to make them laugh. And people got to understand that some of the things, because you do humor too, right? Dark humor in nursing is that

Yes, the situation is very traumatic. The cases are very like, oh my God, this is not going to make me want to be a nurse. But at the same time, you laughed at it, right? So you have to understand that sometimes one thing about nursing is that you cannot avoid not having the most difficult situations in it. It will always be difficult. It's always going to be traumatic.

But I think like what you have to learn is that you just learn to laugh at the situation instead of just crying about it every single time. Because crying about it every single time, I'm telling me I did that many, many times. And it's not good. Like you're going to probably want to... You have to stay positive. You got to stay positive. Whether you use your dark humor...

that's it you gotta use your dark humor and yeah you just you still spread positivity by showing them the shit that we go through inside the hospital so yes you started the big dog trend i even hop in on that trend because i saw everyone doing it i was like this is so funny as soon as i saw whenever you did it i was like fangirl and i jumped up i was literally at work and i jumped up out of my seat and i ran to one of the other nurses on the unit that watches you

I was like, Nurse John just redid my video. This is so cool. Oh, that's so... I mean, like, it went viral. It was so funny. It was really, really, really, really funny. So I was like, you know what? Let me just do that. You know what? I'm going to repost that post again. Because it's really funny. It's really funny. So then you just started doing the social media part. And, like, are you making some clout now? What's going on? A little bit. I'm...

Starting to collab with Guard Malad. Guard Malad. Yes. Okay. Okay. There you go. So I'm with them and sold a couple scrubs. I love that. I love that. That's absolutely the best scrub company. I love Guard Malad. Yes. Their scrubs are so comfortable. The best. I love them. They don't fade like figs. Period. Period. I guess in social media, like you just have to learn how to navigate through it. Like again, like first of all, like what kind of person are you? Are you more introverted? Extroverted? Like what's...

I'm kind of like an in-between. In-between. Okay. Because in social media, you have to be so extroverted to the point that you have no shame. It pulls you into your comfort zone. Like you have no shame that your parents and your friends and your family members are going to see you shake your ass in a scrub. Every time my family sees my pose, they're like, yeah.

I'm like just don't watch it just don't watch it that's why like when my mom when my parents are watching me on my live shows I'm like please you don't have to come like I don't want you guys to see all the shit that I do on stage like nobody has to see this right now but yeah you just get comfortable with it and like you learn how to navigate it but because honestly you guys social media does make a difference and I'm not gonna lie like social media does pay good

it pays good but the good pay only comes from how consistent and how hard working you are in pursuing something that is unknown because social media is so like unknown like you don't know if you're ever gonna make it and be like a whole social media content creator

i never want to call myself an influencer because i don't really influence i'm more of like i create and i show it to people and i that's what i do but yes it does make you an income and the income can sustain and provide for you in a way but like it does comes with a lot of like push from your side and do you think you'll continue doing this oh i think i'm definitely gonna continue doing it yeah

It's really fun. Like, it gives you something to do. It makes you get creative and thinking of new content and how something that I think is hilarious, other people might agree with me and they're following me.

And I think like my only suggestion to you and advice to you, like as someone who's been doing this for a while, I talk like I've been here doing this for 10 years. I've been doing this for three and a half years. Three and a half years is that because I have seen many healthcare influencers out there and which I'm super proud and I'm actually super proud to every single healthcare workers, to all the nurses who's been trying their best

and seeing what social media can give them, which, you know, keep doing it. That's what you have to do. But like, I think some social media influencer in the space of healthcare sometimes forget the boundaries you have to put to make sure that you don't cross that boundaries because remember, you're a professional. You have a license. And some of them like completely forget to...

There are intrusive thoughts that you don't have to say. You can get in trouble really easy. The thing about US is they like to sue. They love to sue. Just like what Kendrick Lamar says. I could have played this song, but you know what? They love to sue. And they will sue. Stop filming.

In the hospital. Don't film the hospital. But listen, it is true because yes, you have co-workers who are jealous of the things that you're doing. And when these bitches get jealous, they will do anything to put you down and bring you down. Because when they see you getting popularity and you're doing all of this, they think like the only thing you ever do at work is make videos. But then all your fucking patients are alive, happy, and well.

And that's all I can say. Their opinion don't matter. Their opinion don't motherfucking matter. And you know what? If you don't like the place that you're working at, leave, leave. There's other opportunities. There's so many more opportunities and you can catch that opportunity somewhere else.

Okay, well, that's super good. And I'm happy that you're here, you know, get to spend time with me. I'm so excited to be in here. Yeah, we actually have a show tonight. Guys, you have to go see his show. The funniest thing you will ever watch. Look at you, you're blushing.
