Jackie, we will be a-ok with whatever content you have time to record and upload. Take good care, make long-lasting quality friendships and this is your year to blossom in your new job! Thank you the update, which you are so nice to do.TFS! ❤
Don't worry about us, we'll be here! I know how hard it is making friends as an adult. For me, moving around for work and then eventually landing a remote position made it all the harder. I'm grateful for the few friendships that I've managed to hang on to over the years, though it takes real effort to keep them going over long distances. :( I'm so glad for the job update, been wondering how it was going! Are you able to wear polish at work? It's just something I always wondered. When I was going in to the office I used to amaze my coworkers by being able to guess what polish they were wearing, lol!
It is SOO hard to make friends as adults. And such a necessary part of healthy living. I am able to wear whatever I want in terms of scrubs 🥳🥳 and nail polish 🥳 my nails just have to be short, natural, no chips and no gel overlay. All things I would stick to anyways 😬
Hello my beautiful virtual friend! I’m so proud of you and I’m very happy you are taking care of yourself! Make friends, enjoy life and don’t worry about us! 😉😘😘😘
So kind of you to give an update, but don’t worry about us - do what you need to do to make your life the best it can be! I’ve kept busy watching your old recordings since I just found you a month or so ago. We will be here when you get back 😀
One of my favorite videos was you letting us know about how much you went through to get your dream job. It's so good your keeping your needs for training and new friends top on your list. Your awesome ❤
Jackie, your fans are very loyal and we support you! I completely understand your issue with doing so much all at once. One year ago today I began my 11 month journey to earn my ELL Endorsement. That means I can teach English language skills to students whose first language is something other than English. I have been teaching primarily 4th grade for the past 20 years. I had to continue teaching 4th grade full-time while taking classes for and writing papers, and being a mom and wife all at the same time! For about 6 weeks, Monday-Friday 9am-4pm I was in classes. After class and on weekends I was completing assignments. After a 2 week break, I started the new school year teaching full-time, and also continued my classes on Saturdays and every other Wednesday evening through nearly the whole school year. I was exhausted all the time and had no time for socializing. However, after completing the program of classes, assignments, the certification test and final presentation; I had an interview and was hired for my dream job! It was so hard, but so worth it! Today I am finishing packing up my classroom to move to my new teaching position! I am excited and a bit nervous for the end of August when school starts again! I am so happy for you and will be thinking of you as you complete your training! You are going to be amazing! 😊
That is SO amazing!! All your hard work paid off!! And now you also have your dream job. Congratulations 🎉 I spent six years working on my bachelors while I was working. I did the program online and I was able to work part time so it was doable but it was still a LONG time and so much homework and papers. I was so over it by time I finished 😂
I'm so glad you met some new local friends! Please enjoy your new job and life and don't worry about us, we're not going anywhere! And you know I am never prolific or regular with uploads myself due to health stuff, so I get that it's hard to fit it in sometimes. Time and energy is precious, I know that better than most tbh.
Jackie, I have definitely missed seeing you as regularly on YT, but you need to do what's right for you, and I look forward to any content you're able to upload until things settle down a little. Happy to hear the new job is going well, and that you're making some new friends. I have just a small group of very good friends, and I like it that way. I wish we lived close as I'm sure we'd hit it off 😂💅 Take care, and enjoy this exciting time 🤗
Totally understand. I just left a job right before I hit 3 years of working only nights 40+ per week. It messes up your brain and your life. I don’t really have friends like that either. Just acquaintances from work with whom I interact online. My son 34 yo) is my best friend and we try to do road trips when we can. I finally have a job that I like and it’s no Fridays, no nights, and no weekends. I went to nursing school almost 30 years ago and I remember doing clinicals in PICU and NICU and being in awe of the nurses. You are truly impacting people’s families. 💝
Oh that sounds like a nice job to have after so many years of working. Working nights definitely takes a toll on your body! I’ve been doing it 13 years and couldn’t imagine doing days but also am tired of nights at the same time 😂
Your channel is one of my favorite channels, you won‘t get rid of me that easily ☺️. I did observe longer intervals but frankly was happy thinking you are fully engaged in your new job. In short take all the time, I am happily watching whenever you post.
Thanks for your update, kind of figured you were still in training/classes for your new job. We're not going anywhere, will be looking forward to seeing more of you in the near future. Take care.
Jackie, please don’t stress about your channel! Starting a new job in any field of nursing is intense and a PICU is incredibly challenging! Kudos to you ! And in the future in high demand for your knowledge and training. I’ve been a new for 46 years ( CCU, PCU and Cath Lab recovery) Full time for 43yrs and am finally retiring in September. I’ve worked nights for the past 32 so I know what you’re up against plus weekends, holidays and on-call ! Not a job for most! You have to give yourself credit !!!!!! The PICU !, full time nights and u-tube, WOW I commend you ! Keep up the good work, you’re almost through it ! True friends will come ! I enjoy your videos and will wait for you to do more when you can !
Thank you for the update. When you shared details of your nursing journey and new job I immediately was 1.so happy for you and 2.knew there might be a chance there would be less videos. Working in healthcare myself (oncology) I certainly understand all the training required. Take this time to focus on you and your career you worked so hard to achieve. Was very thankful for your recent video. Blessings and will be here when you return. 😊😊
In the beginning of my career when I knew I wanted pediatrics, I had thought really hard about peds oncology. In the end I knew it wasn’t for me at the time (or now I guess). Maybe someday but I know it would be so sad. Bravo to you
Having started over in a place where I don't know anyone, I totally know how hard it is to make friends as an adult. I admire you for putting yourself out there and finding IRL friends through an app, and then putting in the time to cultivate those friendships. NGL I miss your monthly duping videos because they're SO GOOD, but truly, don't worry about us; we'll be here when you get back.
It’s so hard and we’ve been here for 13 years. So just imagine how long it’s been since I’ve had fulfilling interactions. My duping videos are not going anywhere permanently! They are some of my favorite videos to do and also my most popular. I have lots of plans for expanding the series 😃
Focus on you & don’t worry about us. We will be here. As an introvert, I don’t have friends either. I work 100% remote now since Covid and love it but do miss the social side of interaction with peers. You worked hard for this so keep looking forward, we are all rooting for you 😊
Such a crazy schedule, but you're gonna be so well-trained and ready, when it's time for you to be on your own! 👏🏻 Totally understand about the friend thing and I think it's awesome that you've been able to meet a couple girls to hang out with. ❤ Thank you for the update, don't worry about us, though because I'm pretty sure none of us are going anywhere! 😘 💅
I just retired after 40 years of nursing 👍...nursing is very hard God bless you for doing pediatric icu❤....don't overdue it night work is really rough I did it for 10 years goes against your body clock you never get enough rest. Take care of your wel being you are so worth it. Yes buy your nail polish it's yiur thing and you enjoy doing your nails as do I. Hope you love your new job🤗
@NurseJackie2582 OH I know days in the hospital is a nightmare!!!! Everyone thinks nights are easy...umm no...people think alot during the night especially cancer patients. I tried peds I cried all the time so bless your heart ❤️ for taking one for the team. I can't imagine you don't have alot of friends you are such a sweet person have a good week🤗
Hey Jackie, your first responsibility is getting through this training period, for your dream job! Congratulations! I love your videos, and I will be here, when you are able to upload again!
Totally understandable. Glad things are going well with the new job and hope it continues. I’ll be here looking forward to what you post when time allows. Take care of yourself!
Bless you for the update, and don’t you worry about us. You look after yourself and be happy, I have been watching a lot of your older videos, for inspiration 😊 don’t get me wrong I love your content, but you come first, so you upload a video when you have time and energy to do so. Lots of love 🥰
Thank you for sharing, Jackie❤ I kind of guessed that you are busy with your new job which is totally understandable.. it takes a lot of energy at the beginning, even in the dreamy ones😊 I wish you all the best and for sure be waiting for your uploads and updates, whenever you have the time and mood 🙏🏻
It's completely understandable. I used to work in the healthcare management, I hated how folks treated others and would cut hours. It's true, your coworkers are not your friends. As a central Floridian it can be hard trying to find friends who love nail polish. My closest nail polish buddy is in Tampa-Zephyrhills area, but that's about 1-2 hours away. The Champions Gate/Disney traffic is awful. I hope everything goes well for you at the new job and hopefully soon you'll be able to create your own schedule. 👍🏻
It’s hard to find anyone that understands our love for polish 😆 even when I see people wearing nail polish I wouldn’t dream of telling them about my Instagram or RU-vid.
@@NurseJackie2582 I think it depends. Some ladies out there will give a compliment, but others obsess over polishes/nail art when you're out shopping. (Or that happens to me at least) 😁 That's when I when I mention my handles. It helps to build character and confidence. Which reminds I need to get back into creating content. 👍🏻 Good luck on your new job!
Thanks for the update and thanks for what you do!!! Good for you making a change. Being a nurse is a demanding job, but such important work. Good luck with making friends, not easy but hang in there.
You must take care of you first that’s the most important thing 😊 I am so excited for you about this new job. Take all the time you need we will be here no matter what 😊
your happiness is your priority, not us! 12 hr shift emergency services worker here. totally get it, nights aint easy!! the rest of the world does not get it. and you should be super proud of yourself for getting the new job, learning pediatric icu (cannot even imagine) and even more impressive to me (lol i mean can you top picu?) is that as an adult you are prioritizing your social life. truly. 16 yrs of 12 hr e emergency dispatch shift work and ive NOT done that, burnout caused me to push people away over the years. i wanted the quiet, but in hindsight i realize that was not the healthy way. so kudos to you, dont worry about us, ill watch whatever you put out, and it makes me just go back and watch the older videos before i found you. xo
Ahhh thank you 😊 burnout is no joke!! I never really truly felt it until the last few years. It’s hard to navigate the feelings sometimes. Tired but also wanting socialization but also too tired to actually do anything 😆 that’s how I felt for awhile. Now I’m feeling good and ready to get out there 😬
We will be here waiting whenever you put out videos! I’m so glad that you’ve reached out and started establishing friendships. That’s so awesome! I was thinking yesterday (4th of July) that this is the first time in a long time that we don’t have a visit scheduled. 😭. Hopefully again at some point!
I’ve been thinking about you. It’s totally understandable how little time you have to record videos with your new job and all. I’ve definitely missed your videos but will still be here when you are able to get back to filming. Wish I lived closer to you, you seem like a friend I’d like to spend time with.❤
Hope you like your new job! Sounds grueling - but time flies and before you know it you will be an old pro! Looking forward to new content - but understand the demands of a new job. No worries!!
Lovely to hear you ! You're such as busy bee don’t worry. Truly hope you're loving the new department. I'll check my notifications are on & will check back. Xx greetings from UK , viv_destashuk
I can definitely relate. As on over-the-road truck driver I have a 70 hour work week and then only 48 hours off. Plus every 2 weeks I'm doing the night shift, then switch to mornings, so my sleep is all messed up. What app did you use to meet new people and make friends?
Omg That’s crazy. It’s hard enough switching to days on my days off! I couldn’t imagine having to work and do it. The app I used is called bumble bff. It’s yellow and black
@NurseJackie2582 yeah, it's rough and I'm not sure how long I'll continue. It's tough to quit though, because I love driving a semi and being on the road. It's nice to see the country. If I knew what to do next, I would make the change, but I'm not sure at this point, so. Ah yes, Bumble BFF, I think I have heard of that. Ty!
I’ve definitely noticed your absence and missed you! Totally understand though and wish you all the best!! Congratulations on your new job! What is the app you are using to make new friends? I have heard there are apps where you can make local friends and I have thought about finding an app myself. 💖
Hi and thank you! The app is called bumble bff. It’s for finding local people. You make a profile and then swipe on anyone’s whose profile appeals to you. You only get to talk to them if they have swiped on you too. I made a few friends and then stopped using it because I don’t want 20 acquaintances, I just want a few good friends. So I’m seeing how these few go first
@@NurseJackie2582 thank you so much for the information! I’m the same way, I want a few close friends not a ton of acquaintances so I will probably do the same thing if I check it out! Thank you again.💖
Those babies are lucky to have you. That sounds really intense and it’s good you downgraded RU-vid. Take care of yourself and hang in there. Nurses are our unsung heroes.
