been working as a nurse on nights for 7 years! its takes time but most important thing is BUILD A ROUTINE, always have healthy snacks on hand, water while working. Use blackout curtains if you need too as they can also help with falling asleep. It'll be hard at first, but you'll be fine :)
Omg 7 years night shift is amazing!! I think what yo said about building a routine is actually such a story advice for me cuz I’m a guy that relies on pattern and consistency!! So def will be following night routine now 💖🥹 thanks for being so open and supportive ❤
@@Hwaniiee no worries! And yes, building a routine will take time. But once you do, you’ll have consistency as I’ve been able to do that on nights till today. I’m also one that needs consistency as well so that’s understandable. You’ll have some nights where there’s going to be ups & downs but you’ll learn from them and improve over time! If you need any tips or tricks for night shift, just shoot a message and I’ll help in anyway I can! :)
hello there! can I ask if you can choose your days of work in a week such as 3 days 12 hour shifts? I'm a student nurse and still deciding if nursing is for me lol
@@oblivionade i work full time so i had applied to the night shift line 8hr shifts as I work in long term care so 12hrs are an optional and same with wanting to work 16hrs shifts is an option. If you do rotational, then you’ll have a chance to work 3 days 12hrs or nights. The choice is up to you
My mom is a nurse since the last 29 years. Showed her this video . She wished you the best ❤️ and that don't feel guilty for your time off . Take care of yourself, only then can you take care of others ❤️❤️
as someone that started night shift security about a year+ ago, whats important is sticking to the routine and sticking to the time you need to do things. its gonna be tempting to stay up because you're gonna wanna be social and do things but nightshift requires a lot of sacrifice. find a time that works best for you to sleep but also still have a balance of things you want to do as well. for your first time doing the night shift (or anybody reading this for that matter) my best advice to get adjusted is the day of your first work day, take a nap hours prior to your start time. once you wake up, you'll feel either refreshed or tired but awake, and then go on about your night. if need be def get a celsius/energy drink that can keep you up for the first few days then after a few days you should be fine. its not healthy, but I can switch between third and another shift whenever now good luck people!
Hahaha I def agree with you on the celcius🥹🥹 hopefully I don’t get addicted to caffeine from this tho😅 but truly the balance part you mentioned is key especially with such a hefty and odd schedule that can throw my circadian rhythm off🥲 but thank you for being so open and insightful 💖💖 will def use these
@@Hwaniiee i was not expecting a reply i’m lowkey fangirling rn but you got this bro!!! your circadian rhythm is going to be off but you’ll get used to the new schedule in no time. can’t wait to see what you’ll do in the future!!
As a med-surg nurse that’s been on nights for almost 2 years, my advice is to have a routine on your days off whether or not you swap back to a day shift sleep schedule or just keep the same routine as you would working. Make sure you meal prep for your 3 shifts in a row. Also, in your first year of nursing, Do NOT pick up extra shifts even if you feel like you can. It’ll help prevent burnout in the long run. The first year of nursing is the hardest because you’re learning on the job so make sure you take as much time off as you can to recharge. Leave work at work and enjoy your life outside the hospital. Good luck!
Omggg not picking up extra shifts is hugeeee! Esp cuz I got overwhelmed pretty easy so the goal is to make it as sustainable as possible!! So I will 100% take your advice on that!! 💖💖 thank you for being so insightful too🥹
how refreshing to see someone being so transparent about these early steps in career pathways- big picture, your grades dont matter, its all about how you make the most of each opportunity. Also love how you're open to sharing your journey as you manage the 'boring' responsibilities in life. you've got a great mindset and outlook on life, what a healthy inspiration for young people. go you! it's exciting to be part of your journey :) you'll be going places!
ofccc I love being an open book with you ❤️ it makes the journey i'm on so much more fulffiling and gives me way more hell of a drive knowing I'm doing it with you through the ups and down!! s thank you for doing this with me 💕
Congratulations, Kai! How wonderful. So happy for you. You're not just an ambassador for Fabletics, you're fabulous and will become a Legend. This, I am sure of. Your grades were solid in the end. You learned a lot about yourself during the process and were great enough to share it with all of us. The best thing... you have the biggest smile, now that you have passed that nursing certification test. That loan of $145K+ ... yikes. Just keep working at it. Don't default. Don't skip payments. Just pay a little more than the interest and chip away at it. OMG! You've added a new family member! Makes me want two kitties, also... Good luck with interviews and all!💕
Hahaha I love how you said yikes on the loans😂😂 but yes yes I do just gotta keep at it and maybe pay a little more hehe❤😂 and I’m honestly so touched you said legend 🥹💖 that is very kind of you to say I’ll def work harder now that I got a pocketful of motivation from you hehe❤
@@Hwaniiee YOU can do it, Kai, and also, WE are all supporting you. So feel the power of all our best wishes every time you try something new or are a bit nervous. You got it and we got your back. Keep helping people as you begin your new career! Keep the vlogs coming, too! 😉💕💞 (I love seeing you eat! )
First jobs after finishing school is probably the best, but also not the easiest because you'll be in the real world dealing with so much emotions. Especially on being a nurse, anywhere, will definitely be tough. But I'm sure you'll do great in any nurse job you'll get. Good luck and congrats on passing!
Yesss I think this first job will def be a slap of emotions working such a demanding schedule too🥹 but I’m so glad I have you to vent to thru these videos and we can go through these nights togehter 😂❤ but yes I agree with you anticipating that it may be difficult but we got this!! 🎉
KAI BROTHA, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I love your positive attitude towards life. If trials come your way, even though you may be feeling completely defeated, you always remind yourself to push through by finding new strategies and approaches to tackle it head-on. That's very inspiring and much needed among young adults, especially those transitioning from student life to work life. I hope for all the best on your first interview
yesss i'm a struggler by nature adn that's how it's always been, and through this i realized failure is an inevitable process of life.. so the solution is pushing through regardless of this! and thank youuu for the interview wishes!! I'll keep you updated on the status of it all ❤️
Starting the process for nursing school and I just love how realistic and raw you are with your journey. Refreshing to see the real deal. Thank you for sharing and CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING A NURSE!!🎉
YESS OFC!! I love showing you the reality of the entire journey from start to finish 💖💖 and honestly I feel like being transparent allows me to build an honest relationship with you and everyone and I hope you can feel the same way back too🥹🥹
Hi I love all of your videos specially, the aspects where you show your failures and your upbringing and it’s so soothing and help me realize that I’m not the only one that goes to struggles and sometimes you’ve got a look at the brighter side of things, and I really love your medical related videos because I also want to be a nurse, but a travel nurse and I hope that you do get that job and your videos are so inspirational that it pushes me just driving to better every day. Thank you.❤
Megatron is so cute!!!! btw the weakness question is a actually a low key way to flex your good qualities or growth mindset. For example, if you are bad at time management you can start off by saying, "I tend to loose track of time so in order to better manage it I do x, y and x. I learned this from the youtube channel Professor Heather Austin. She has a video series on interview questions I highly recommend to everyone!! Congrats on getting the job!!! I can't believe the days of watching you study hard have come to an end.
Uwuuuu you’re right!! I shoulda use that trick for my weakness😂😂🥲 def better than what I said hahahaha but next time I get another interview I’ll use that professor’s way then hehe❤and it’s t that crazy that those study days are done… but may be not for long in the future hehe
@@Hwaniiee yup! you can always use it in the future :) And true we're always learning right? Also please keep showing us what you eat. I have lots of food allergies/intolerances so I live my foodie life through others haha
I resonate with you and your journey so much and i really appreciate your transparency. I’m finishing up my B.S. in Health Science and I plan to apply to accelerated MSN programs to become a dermatology NP. I struggle a lot with my gpa and comparing my grades to my peers, so it is really comforting to know that gpa does not define us as future nurses :)
Congratulations Kai, for that great achievement, I've been watching your videos for about 5 months, and believe me, you are a great example of resistance. and perseverance, fighting!
I think you should apply for those med spas and aesthetic nurse positions, they can train you and you will learn quickly if you are truly interested. Don’t let the hype over having to start in med surg make you think you have to do so.
Total honesty here, I've been nursing since 2008, and I've done 1 day of overnight. My body just didn't like it so I've always pushed for days. I'm currently a trauma nurse practitioner, and also work for an Urgent Care which I also only pushed for days. Once you do it, just see how your body adjusts. You might even like it better because you don’t have to deal with admin.
I've dedicated 13 years of my career as a CNA working night shifts, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The secret lies in maintaining a strict sleep schedule. Personally, I aim to be asleep no later than 8:30 am, without exception unless there's an appointment or something urgent. I find I only need 5 to 7 hours of sleep, so I typically wake up around 1 pm or 2 pm. For those prone to FOMO, adjusting to this schedule might be challenging. However, it's important to remember that working nights can be a temporary phase, not a permanent arrangement. Besides, since most people are occupied with their 9 am to 5 pm jobs, sleeping until 4 pm doesn't disrupt much. Weekend shifts might present a slight challenge with sleep, but it's manageable, and again, it's temporary. Congratulations on earning your MSN! That's a significant achievement. Your ambition to pursue further academic and career growth as an NP is commendable and sets you on a promising path. I'll be embarking on my Entry Level MSN program this fall, and your video has left me feeling inspired and optimistic.
Thanks for being so open with us Kai❤ and CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉 FOR BECOMING A NURSE ANDDDD for getting another cute kitten😊❤ Looking forward to the rest of your journey 😊
I’m reconsidering becoming a nurse (it has been my dream job since I’m like 8) and honestly you have been one of my inspirations so (even though I’m late) I’m really proud of you for all the efforts that you’ve put in your work!! ⭐️⭐️
Don’t forget to mention that you are always a patient advocate!! From an old, retired nurse 👩🏼⚕️ you are there for the patient not the doc nor the facility. But you are always following the facilities policy and procedures!!
Hard work, mentally and physically has been a lot but seriously being with you thru this channel made it so much more fulfilling and fun ❤❤ just glad I get to this journey with you ❤❤
Nursing jobs usually have a pecking order. It's pretty common to start out on night shift before being able to switch to another shift. My preferred shift was PMs, but I also worked as an RN for the State of California. There was always mandatory overtime. So I often worked 16hrs (PM and Noc) starting at 2:30PM and ending at 6:45 AM. Even after working 16hrs you still had to show up for work again at 2:30PM that same day. Most places have Nursing shifts of 12 hours. You work 3 to 4 days on, then off for 3 days. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.! Gosh. Could this be why there is always a shortage of nurses and the reason for a profession with chronic, debilitating burnout? Needless to say, I managed to survive 19 years working multiple mandatory overtime shifts a week. And I was even able to retire with a well earned California Public Employees Retirement Service pension. So hang in there. If you survive one whole year in bedside acute care, then your reward will be the multiple opportunities available to you. Stay positive. You can do it!
I wish you the best, my friend. I am very proud, take care of yourself. I am a new follower of yours. It is really fun to watch your clips. I love that you are optimistic and have positive energy. This is really wonderful ❤
Congratulations!! i know you were stressed out over that. Way to Go!!!! nursing is a great career. You can work with kids, or adults or elderly adults. work with wounds or brain injuries or so many things. Good luck with everything!
In Finland nursing school is free. In USA it's crazy expensive. Also in Finland employer gives working clothes for free. And we always change and store our clothes at work.
Congrats 🎉🎉🎉, night shift for me is actually interesting and fun, i work in A&E, but my shift time is kinda different (4pm-8am) i get home very tired and wish i don't wake up, but you'll get used to the time sha. Success on your journey 🎉
Congrats, Kai, on passing your licensure exam. I love your reason for pursing nursing. Most people do it only for the money. Best of luck on your job interview. I worked 4-1 for a year. It was an interesting experience. Some people live by it and would not have it any other way. I prefer to work in the day. You are so modest about your channel. You are a successful UA-camr.
Yesss I think working in the day would be optimal for me too😂 but also maybe working nights might help me develop stamina and just sticking with something even if I don’t really prefer it ❤
Ofccc I love being an open book with you 🥹🥹 seriously it makes me feel a whole lot closer to you and I hope it does the same for you to me❤❤ and my kitty Megatron said thank you too 💕✨
I notice you call yourself stupid a lot and I know we all tends to do that, but the more we say something the more it becomes our reality. Words has power so next time say I’m brilliant even if you don’t believe it, I will becomes your reality. Pace, light and love💜💜
Working third shift is challenging (did it for about 24 years), it’s definitely tougher trying to stay awake at night than during the afternoon. One benefit is, you may be able to save yourself more money 🤓. Congrats on charting this next phase of your life and I wish you well Kai :)
yessss cuz the saving money has been biggest kryptonitteee😭 but i think you're right cuz i'm def not a night person hahah but who cares LETS DO THIS AND it'll be easier cuz i can do it with you 💕
Yayy!! All the best for everything!! 🪄❤️🫂🫶🏻🍀you did the best possible at the interview and that's what matters the most! Being with family right now is such a beautiful thing to do before you start on your journey! Getting all the fuel needed :)) it will all work out! Keep going 💪🏻💪🏻 watching your videos I'm always smiling throughout ❤ thankyouu 🍀🪄 excited to see Spaghetti and Megatron as their bond prospers :))
Oiiiii🥹🥹 you’re smiling throughout the whole video is killing me rn 🥹🦋🦋 and I’m with my sister, mom and nieces and nephew rn in Korea and jsut surprised them with American candy so it was a sight to watch 😂💕
You got this Kai, my one year ABSN program was 90k. Graduated June 2023, got my license July 2023. Started working RN County job in October 2023. As of now was able to paid off over 50% of my loan. On track to pay it all off before end of year. Yes most new grad job or entry job it’s usually NOC shift, but honestly I love it. I was given the opportunity to orient for AM/PM and other units. I work med surg. I highly reccomend med surg/tele to have the nursing skills foundation from there you can work anywhere else.
YESSSS CLAP ON THAT OVER 50% of debt paid IS CRAZY ACHIEVEMENT!! I hope to get there to where you’re at one day!! And yes I totally agree with the med surg and using that as a foundation to develop the most necessary nurisng skills too 💖💖
omg congrats! been binge watching your vlogs a few days ago and i'm so happy you're officially a nurse🎉 i just took my licensure examination for teachers last march. praying and manifesting to be offically called a "teacher" ❤
WHOOO YOU GOT THIS!! We’re gonna only manifest the most positive and radiating energy for you to become the best ever teacher!! And regardless of the outcome if this is what you’re truly passionate about then Godspeed at 200%!! And I’ll be waiting to see your comment later saying how you passed with flying colors too hehe❤❤❤
Yessss it finally did didn’t ✨🤞🏻 and it’s so so surreal that you were he throughout ❤❤ I’m so so greatful to literally show this adventure from the beginning of my nursing school days to LITERALLY NOW❤❤ let’s kill this 😎
i'm going into my 3rd semester soon and most new grads have to start in nights tbh its just how it goes, so i've heard. you can always switch after your residency is over. at least night nurses get shift diff too 🤑
Hey Kai, congrats! I am an adult nursing student and this year will be my final year hopefully all goes well. Happy for you and always enjoy your vlogs :) keep fighting!
best of your luck to your nursing journey! I know you're already deep into your semester and im excited to hear back soon on your comment down the road saying how you're gonna be applying for jobs and you're ready to work!! hehe you got this!! ❤
whaaaa haha nooo im just a broke new grad nurse trying to make it in nyc 😭❤ love the support always and ill try to become someone actually worthy to be your role model❤
You can start working on your own skincare line now in the current moment. As a side passion project. You have some knowledge to help you, a platform, some resources/networkings with skin care professionals (if I remember correctly) and the dream to do it. Everything doesn't need to be in a certain order in life. Good Luck.
I love that actually. That things can be fluid and doesn’t have to follow a strict timeline! Will def take that advice and maybe I can start small like creating a vision board too❤
Thank you so much!! YESSS it was difficult but the fact is you were with by my side throughout the entire damn journey and now we're finally here together !! LETS DO THIS ❤️
Congrats - cant wait to see S’ghetti and Megatron together. As someone who interviews a number of people - always go button up shirt for initial interview. Wishing u well for yr time on Korea
They met but spaghetti was a bit territorial and didn’t like Megatron being there 😭🥲 but I think that’ll take time since they’re both so new to each other🥹 but yes I’m in Korea and I’ll keep you updated with everything going on here 😊😊
I work at a dermatologist office with 7 NP’s. As long as your NP license is in ‘family’ it doesn’t really matter where you start in the hospital. Most of the NP’s I work with have spent time in the ICU. I’m in California, if that makes any difference - NY might have different licensing requires for NP’s to do Derm.
Congratulations Kai!! I love your channel! I was born and raised in Columbia MO and still live here! Hope you enjoyed your time at MU! You are going to do great! M-I-Z….
Very proud of you. I like the way you said that you tried different methods of studying. I was nursing student. Good luck as you start your journey as a RN🎉🎉🎉😂
Hi Kai, Not sure why but so far NO ONE in the comments even mentioned this: WEAR A FORMAL SUIT AND TIE TO THE INTERVIEWS. Not just any suit: Wear matching navy blue suit and pants. Your belt color needs to match your suit shoes. Wear a formal tie; no smiley faces, random weird designs on it. Solid or stripped. This is your first impression before your interview. DO NOT wear that puffer jacket going forward on your interviews.
🎉🎉🎉🎉 woot woot! Huge congratulations 🎈🎉🍾🎊 GPA 3.06 very good for a Master of Science in Nursing. 🎉🙌. Got my MSN in 2020. Probably will choose to go Nurse Practitioner route in 2028. I love working nights. Been on nights for 2 years now and loving it. Cover letter is just as important as the resume.
Awww congratulations!!! That's a huge achievement!! I'm so happy for you❤ I would love to work as a nurse in NYC for a while but kind of hesitant about the pay as it is ridiculously expensive to live there... so would be very helpful and interesting to see the whole financial side of being a nurse in NYC?🤔
It’s sooo fun to live in nyc and there are a ton of opportunities to meet diff connections and ppl but I will say it’s very expensive😭 but I still moved here regardless of that so it all comes down to what’s ur preference and goals!! But you got this and if you do move to nyc I guarantee you will amazing connections and friendships💖💖
i did night shifts for a 1.5 years. my best advice, don't do it. its completely unhealthy for your body but more importantly it throws yours social life and existing friendships into to the toilet. yes the work is easier so i would only recommend part time.
Noooo esp cuz I value my social relationships with my friends so muchhh but I’ll have to make it work cuz that’s the only interview I have rn😭😭 I got THIS PRAY FOR ME❤
Pls save money and not waste I own the school and am on probation😭 I if I miss a payment I have to go to court and they will detain stuff of value that I own. This goes for everyone. Also congrats on getting ur journey of a nurse 🎉
safe travels and i hope things go well with the fam. Congratulation on becoming a nurse and hoping you find the job you want soon. I'm so envious that your going to Korea i would love to go there one day. I love watching live video the cherry blossoms are blooming its so beautiful. And congratulations on the new kitty.
Yesss I actually just arrived here like an hour ago!! Met my nephew for the first time and also reconvened with my nieces❤❤ it was really cute too brought them American candies they can’t get in Korea either 😂😊 I can’t wait to keep you more updates ❤

AHHHHH BEEN SO EXICTED TO SHARE IT WITH YOU SO BAD❤❤
I think you should apply for those med spas and aesthetic nurse positions, they can train you and you will learn quickly if you are truly interested. Don’t let the hype over having to start in med surg make you think you have to do so.
KAIII OMGGG THIS IS MOTIVATING ME TO PUSH THROUGH MY LASTTT TWO YEARS OF NURSINGGGG AAAAAA CONGRATSSSAAA U DESERVE IT SM
Total honesty here, I've been nursing since 2008, and I've done 1 day of overnight. My body just didn't like it so I've always pushed for days. I'm currently a trauma nurse practitioner, and also work for an Urgent Care which I also only pushed for days. Once you do it, just see how your body adjusts. You might even like it better because you don’t have to deal with admin.
I've dedicated 13 years of my career as a CNA working night shifts, and I wouldn't have it any other way. The secret lies in maintaining a strict sleep schedule. Personally, I aim to be asleep no later than 8:30 am, without exception unless there's an appointment or something urgent. I find I only need 5 to 7 hours of sleep, so I typically wake up around 1 pm or 2 pm.
For those prone to FOMO, adjusting to this schedule might be challenging. However, it's important to remember that working nights can be a temporary phase, not a permanent arrangement. Besides, since most people are occupied with their 9 am to 5 pm jobs, sleeping until 4 pm doesn't disrupt much.
Weekend shifts might present a slight challenge with sleep, but it's manageable, and again, it's temporary. Congratulations on earning your MSN! That's a significant achievement. Your ambition to pursue further academic and career growth as an NP is commendable and sets you on a promising path. I'll be embarking on my Entry Level MSN program this fall, and your video has left me feeling inspired and optimistic.
Thanks for being so open with us Kai❤ and CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎉 FOR BECOMING A NURSE ANDDDD for getting another cute kitten😊❤
Looking forward to the rest of your journey 😊
I’m reconsidering becoming a nurse (it has been my dream job since I’m like 8) and honestly you have been one of my inspirations so (even though I’m late) I’m really proud of you for all the efforts that you’ve put in your work!! ⭐️⭐️
Don’t forget to mention that you are always a patient advocate!! From an old, retired nurse 👩🏼⚕️ you are there for the patient not the doc nor the facility. But you are always following the facilities policy and procedures!!
Congratulations! Me and my best friend watch all your videos! Excited to see you win! Rooting for you!
Awww you and your best friend too🥹🥹 def inspiring to read this from you❤ thank you
Thank God!!! May he bless your life 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Congrtassssssssssssssssss nurse kaii all the hard work,mentally,physically you been through has paid off
Hard work, mentally and physically has been a lot but seriously being with you thru this channel made it so much more fulfilling and fun ❤❤ just glad I get to this journey with you ❤❤
Nursing jobs usually have a pecking order. It's pretty common to start out on night shift before being able to switch to another shift. My preferred shift was PMs, but I also worked as an RN for the State of California. There was always mandatory overtime. So I often worked 16hrs (PM and Noc) starting at 2:30PM and ending at 6:45 AM. Even after working 16hrs you still had to show up for work again at 2:30PM that same day. Most places have Nursing shifts of 12 hours. You work 3 to 4 days on, then off for 3 days. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.! Gosh. Could this be why there is always a shortage of nurses and the reason for a profession with chronic, debilitating burnout? Needless to say, I managed to survive 19 years working multiple mandatory overtime shifts a week. And I was even able to retire with a well earned California Public Employees Retirement Service pension. So hang in there. If you survive one whole year in bedside acute care, then your reward will be the multiple opportunities available to you. Stay positive. You can do it!
Congrats on being a nurse! Remember 2 stay humble, & don't 4get 2 breathe! 🙂🙂
I wish you the best, my friend. I am very proud, take care of yourself. I am a new follower of yours. It is really fun to watch your clips. I love that you are optimistic and have positive energy. This is really wonderful ❤
CONGRATULATIONS KAI!!🥳🥳
Congratulations I’m happy for you. Manage your time wisely .You are intelligent person and your personality is amazing.❤
Congratulations!! i know you were stressed out over that. Way to Go!!!! nursing is a great career. You can work with kids, or adults or elderly adults. work with wounds or brain injuries or so many things. Good luck with everything!
I’m glad you passed and accomplished your goal! It’s so nice seeing you happy in the place you’re currently at in your life.😁
It’s so big and I’m so so proud 🥹🥹 but I’m also so happy I get to do this life with you and everyone here ❤❤
CONGRATS KAI! PROUD OF YOU!
In Finland nursing school is free. In USA it's crazy expensive. Also in Finland employer gives working clothes for free. And we always change and store our clothes at work.
Good luck Kai on finding a job I will be praying for you.😇🙏🏾👍
Congratulations Kai! We are all so proud of you for making it this far 🙌
Congrats 🎉🎉🎉, night shift for me is actually interesting and fun, i work in A&E, but my shift time is kinda different (4pm-8am) i get home very tired and wish i don't wake up, but you'll get used to the time sha. Success on your journey 🎉
Yaaa I think I’ll be in your shoes coming home super tired and not wanting to wake up too 😅😂 let’s get thru this together ❤
Congrats ! Nursing is not easy but it's a great career choice that offers endless opportunities. Wish you the best of luck.
congratulations Kai! I wish you all the best and your videos are so inspiring. ❤
Congrats, Kai, on passing your licensure exam. I love your reason for pursing nursing. Most people do it only for the money. Best of luck on your job interview. I worked 4-1 for a year. It was an interesting experience. Some people live by it and would not have it any other way. I prefer to work in the day. You are so modest about your channel. You are a successful UA-camr.
Yesss I think working in the day would be optimal for me too😂 but also maybe working nights might help me develop stamina and just sticking with something even if I don’t really prefer it ❤
Motivating and never give up attitude you have i admire
Thank you for sharing all these personal things with us ❤ Congratulations on being a nurse we're so proud of you like for real
Ofccc I love being an open book with you 🥹🥹 seriously it makes me feel a whole lot closer to you and I hope it does the same for you to me❤❤ and my kitty Megatron said thank you too 💕✨

Congrats Kai! We love nurses and wish you the best. 💕💕
I notice you call yourself stupid a lot and I know we all tends to do that, but the more we say something the more it becomes our reality. Words has power so next time say I’m brilliant even if you don’t believe it, I will becomes your reality. Pace, light and love💜💜
Working third shift is challenging (did it for about 24 years), it’s definitely tougher trying to stay awake at night than during the afternoon. One benefit is, you may be able to save yourself more money 🤓. Congrats on charting this next phase of your life and I wish you well Kai :)
yessss cuz the saving money has been biggest kryptonitteee😭 but i think you're right cuz i'm def not a night person hahah but who cares LETS DO THIS AND it'll be easier cuz i can do it with you 💕
Yayy!! All the best for everything!! 🪄❤️🫂🫶🏻🍀you did the best possible at the interview and that's what matters the most!

Congratulations Kai!!!! 🤗 Hope you achieve more happiness in your life 🎉🎉
Awww only happiness for you too!! We’ll do it together ❤❤
Congratulations Kai you have done you goal/journey!!!!!!!!!
You got this Kai, my one year ABSN program was 90k. Graduated June 2023, got my license July 2023. Started working RN County job in October 2023. As of now was able to paid off over 50% of my loan. On track to pay it all off before end of year. Yes most new grad job or entry job it’s usually NOC shift, but honestly I love it. I was given the opportunity to orient for AM/PM and other units. I work med surg. I highly reccomend med surg/tele to have the nursing skills foundation from there you can work anywhere else.
YESSSS CLAP ON THAT OVER 50% of debt paid IS CRAZY ACHIEVEMENT!! I hope to get there to where you’re at one day!! And yes I totally agree with the med surg and using that as a foundation to develop the most necessary nurisng skills too 💖💖
omg congrats! been binge watching your vlogs a few days ago and i'm so happy you're officially a nurse🎉 i just took my licensure examination for teachers last march. praying and manifesting to be offically called a "teacher" ❤
WHOOO YOU GOT THIS!! We’re gonna only manifest the most positive and radiating energy for you to become the best ever teacher!! And regardless of the outcome if this is what you’re truly passionate about then Godspeed at 200%!! And I’ll be waiting to see your comment later saying how you passed with flying colors too hehe❤❤❤
Congratulations kai Achieve all your dream .so proud of you

Congratulations Kai🎉 I feel like a proud sis..so so happy to see u become what u truly worked hard for and dreamt for!!..❤

best of your luck to your nursing journey! I know you're already deep into your semester and im excited to hear back soon on your comment down the road saying how you're gonna be applying for jobs and you're ready to work!! hehe you got this!! ❤
Congratulations! I recommend you take your ACLS, PALS and NRC certifications.
Just came to say congratulations. I hope everything continues to go well for you 🥳
congrats, kai! you’ve been one of my biggest role models in my life :)
whaaaa haha nooo im just a broke new grad nurse trying to make it in nyc 😭❤ love the support always and ill try to become someone actually worthy to be your role model❤
You can start working on your own skincare line now in the current moment. As a side passion project. You have some knowledge to help you, a platform, some resources/networkings with skin care professionals (if I remember correctly) and the dream to do it. Everything doesn't need to be in a certain order in life. Good Luck.
I love that actually. That things can be fluid and doesn’t have to follow a strict timeline! Will def take that advice and maybe I can start small like creating a vision board too❤
Yeaaah! Well done! It was difficult, but you did it. You are now our nurse, Kai! Proud of you! Many successes in the future! 😉🧑🏻⚕️💉⚕️💯👌👏🍀🌞😘✨️
Thank you so much!! YESSS it was difficult but the fact is you were with by my side throughout the entire damn journey and now we're finally here together !! LETS DO THIS ❤️
CONGRATS KAI !!! ❤
OMG KAIII CONGRATS! 🎉🎊 I knew u could do it anyway BUT STILL CONGRATS 🎉🎉
Congrats - cant wait to see S’ghetti and Megatron together. As someone who interviews a number of people - always go button up shirt for initial interview. Wishing u well for yr time on Korea
They met but spaghetti was a bit territorial and didn’t like Megatron being there 😭🥲 but I think that’ll take time since they’re both so new to each other🥹 but yes I’m in Korea and I’ll keep you updated with everything going on here 😊😊
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I work at a dermatologist office with 7 NP’s. As long as your NP license is in ‘family’ it doesn’t really matter where you start in the hospital. Most of the NP’s I work with have spent time in the ICU.
I’m in California, if that makes any difference - NY might have different licensing requires for NP’s to do Derm.
Congratulations Kai!! I love your channel! I was born and raised in Columbia MO and still live here! Hope you enjoyed your time at MU! You are going to do great! M-I-Z….
AYYYY GO TIGERS❤
To the new nurse...ALL THE BEST TO A NEW BEGINNING...😊😊😊
Congratulations dearrrrrr💛......... So proud and happy for youuuuuu ❤️
It was worth all the hard work in the end….
Well Done You - Clever man!
👏🇬🇧

@@Hwaniiee hahaaaaa wel come oppa😆💜💜😘😘
CELEBRATION!!!!!!!!!! IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU🥳🥳🥳🥳
Thanks for being transparent and sharing your journey. All the best on the job hunting ❤
Very proud of you. I like the way you said that you tried different methods of studying. I was nursing student. Good luck as you start your journey as a RN🎉🎉🎉😂
Hi Kai,
Not sure why but so far NO ONE in the comments even mentioned this:
WEAR A FORMAL SUIT AND TIE TO THE INTERVIEWS.
Not just any suit: Wear matching navy blue suit and pants.
Your belt color needs to match your suit shoes.
Wear a formal tie; no smiley faces, random weird designs on it. Solid or stripped.
This is your first impression before your interview.
DO NOT wear that puffer jacket going forward on your interviews.
Congratulations! Wish you the best Kai!
I love how cheerfully you started this video, it really gave me the energy boost I needed
Oiiii😊 if it gave you a boost in energy then my job is done hehe❤ just wanna put a smile on your face
We are so proud of you Love you ❤❤❤
I know I live in Canada, but if I saw you as my nurse, then that would be sooooo awesome
🎉🎉🎉🎉 woot woot! Huge congratulations 🎈🎉🍾🎊
GPA 3.06 very good for a Master of Science in Nursing. 🎉🙌.
Got my MSN in 2020. Probably will choose to go Nurse Practitioner route in 2028.
I love working nights. Been on nights for 2 years now and loving it.
Cover letter is just as important as the resume.
that kitten is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! so cute!
CONGRATULATIONS IM SO PROUD OF YOU
THANK YOUU❤❤❤
Congratulations Kai ❤️
AHHH CONGRATS ON EVERYTHING❤❤
HOPE YOU GET THE JOB BC YOU WORKED VERY HARD FOR IT
I HOPE SO TOO🤞🏻🤞🏻
Awww congratulations!!! That's a huge achievement!! I'm so happy for you❤ I would love to work as a nurse in NYC for a while but kind of hesitant about the pay as it is ridiculously expensive to live there... so would be very helpful and interesting to see the whole financial side of being a nurse in NYC?🤔
It’s sooo fun to live in nyc and there are a ton of opportunities to meet diff connections and ppl but I will say it’s very expensive😭 but I still moved here regardless of that so it all comes down to what’s ur preference and goals!! But you got this and if you do move to nyc I guarantee you will amazing connections and friendships💖💖
i did night shifts for a 1.5 years. my best advice, don't do it. its completely unhealthy for your body but more importantly it throws yours social life and existing friendships into to the toilet. yes the work is easier so i would only recommend part time.
Noooo esp cuz I value my social relationships with my friends so muchhh but I’ll have to make it work cuz that’s the only interview I have rn😭😭 I got THIS PRAY FOR ME❤
I feel like a proud mom 😭
hope you get the job , our nurse
eid mubarak all muslims ❤
Congratulations, you will be an awesome nurse
You go Kai so proud of you
Pls save money and not waste I own the school and am on probation😭 I if I miss a payment I have to go to court and they will detain stuff of value that I own. This goes for everyone. Also congrats on getting ur journey of a nurse 🎉
Whattt I hope the best of luck for that ❤ truly!! Keep up with the payments you got this!!!
Congratulations Kai!!
safe travels and i hope things go well with the fam. Congratulation on becoming a nurse and hoping you find the job you want soon. I'm so envious that your going to Korea i would love to go there one day. I love watching live video the cherry blossoms are blooming its so beautiful. And congratulations on the new kitty.
Yesss I actually just arrived here like an hour ago!! Met my nephew for the first time and also reconvened with my nieces❤❤ it was really cute too brought them American candies they can’t get in Korea either 😂😊 I can’t wait to keep you more updates ❤
