Welcome to my life as a registered nurse! I started this channel while in nursing school and since have grown into a full fledge registered nurse. I am currently working as a neonatal intensive care unit nurse but have experience in adult ER, pediatric trauma and postpartum nursing. On this channel I share not only tips for successful through nursing school and working as a registered nurse but also a peak inside of my day to day life as a working nurse. We love having you here!
“The mom was crashing or the baby was crashing”. What kind of postpartum unit did you work at? I worked Postpartum for years and never had a mom or a baby crash. The charting doesn’t need to be a long narrative. I’ve seen nurses write novels unnecessarily. You need to chart, yes, but I always reserved my novels for any abnormalities, which was rare. Hospitals would do well to have all the charting at bedside, computerized (no questions about times and required information). Great video, happy nursing! 😊
I didn’t get to complete high school because once COVID happened I was trapped in an abusive home and ended up running away. I was an amazing student, I had straight A’s and was in multiple honors classes before I dropped out. I finally got my GED this year and I want nothing more than to become a nurse. It’s going to be so much harder for me to get into a school and get loans but I want to do this so bad.
The result is amazing and suits you very much. I had an open rhinoplasty in Thailand and I absolutely love my nose, it’s only been 3 weeks but it’s taking shape and I can’t wait to see how it looks in the next few months. ❤😊
You would make an amazing nurse educator if you were to ever find an interest in that specialty at some point down the road. I've spent the past two or three days reviewing all kinds of YT videos to gain any and every bit of guidance, expectations, education, to help me decide what I want to specialize in. There is SO much to choose from, and I have found myself consistently back on your channel because you're very relatable and explain in grand depth with easy to understand language and I really appreciate it. It's been difficult to figure out what route to go through in the nursing field, I've always known I want to go the peds route, but even in that specialty there is a lot to consider. I appreciate people like you for helping people like me that are stuck in analysis paralysis!
Hangsxiety if that’s how it is spelt is an amazing marketing term from the alcohol industry because the word withdrawal sounds really bad. If more alcohol makes people feel well then that is exactly what withdrawal is.
Thanks so much for this insight! After switching from Med/surg to ICU, I was wondering what it might be like being a mother/baby nurse in a relatively “happier” specialty. But whew, it sounds like it can be alot of exactly what I was trying to get away from with Med/surg (tons of patients + tons of tasks = little time with my patients)
People who told you that you don't love yourself, have a very elementary understanding, if even that, of what self-esteem is all about. You look much better and now you can really be yourself instead of being self conscious of what was a disfiguring appearance. There are a lot of people, especially women, against rhinoplasties. They might be worried that you will look prettier or have more self esteem (afterwards) than they do. You did the right thing and made a financial sacrifice as well as went through pain. Rhinoplasties have plummeted in the US last I checked the data, and this scenario is due to a very misguided agenda.
If you got a nose job you didn't like the way you looked and wanted to fit a mould you believe was better. That is a fact of your actions. No one changes what they like only what they don't.
I feel the same way. Confidence is an issue big time!! :( However, it make a whole lot of difference when you have a good preceptor who teaches you more than pressuring you to make decisions on spot.
I think the reason nurses who use to be techs are more nice is because they use to be there, in that position. they had to learn to. anywhere you work especially in healthcare, you start some where. I think it's very humbling. god bless those people and the nurses whom never been a tech but don't mind helping new nurses. 🤍
I have my rhinoplasty yesterday, I must tell you it's a struggle for me to breathe, I'm breathe thru my mouth, but my doctor will take the cast inside of my nose till Tuesday, I'm hoping Tuesday comes soon.
I completely relate to everything you said. I'm currently in my sixth semester of FNP school, and I'm seriously doubting my decision. I know I'm a good nurse, but I sometimes feel lost in clinicals. You're right that God wouldn't have given me the idea to go back to school if he didn't want me to see it through. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your experience. I wish you much success as you continue.
I watched your video when it first came out and I was finishing up my first year. It was stressful but doable. I’m in a PMHNP program and just finished a six week summer session with three exams and multiple papers and I feel like I’m going crazy. It takes me about an hour to get home from school and I cried the whole way home 😫I guess over the course of these few months I didn’t realize how badly my emotions were bubbling up and more importantly, my Unknown fixation with the perfectionism that I soon realized I had to let go. Coming back to this video and watching it again helped me so much. I feel seen 😭🙏🏽 thank you girl
I'm 28 went a different path than I should have but now I want to go back on the path of nursing. I know I've heard it's never really too late but how hard is it to go through nursing school and everything that is required before getting into the program with a family?
Hi so i’m wondering if anyone can help, if im working as a nicu nurse will i still have time for my own kids or will i be swamped with work. I just want to be able to still have a healthy relationship with family outside of work.
I'm not a nurse or training to be one. Just wanted to say that I really appreciate all the hard work you all do in taking care of your patients whole heartedly. I've been trying to educate myself and learn more about the profession and it's not an easy career path. Thank you all for what you do and if you're wanting to be a nurse, you can do it! You got this!
