I cannot wait until i start nursing school. you got this girl!
Lovely Genise starting next semester ☺️
“I wanna be the girl that can start an IV on someone’s forehead.”
😂😂😂😂😂 I am DEAD
Kristine Jeon IV means intravenous. It pushes medication into your veins and throughout your body through a syringe that is attached to your body.
My dream is to be a nurse I’m so happy for you
you inspire me so much to not give up on my dream to become a RN
101monkeyseemonkeful me too!!
Me too!
Your curls are popping in this video . And you make me want to work in the ER . It sounds so much fun and also stressful .
Shanelle Warner thank me girl!
This all sounds so exciting oh my gosh, I can feel your excitement just radiating off lol. I'm in my first semester of nursing school and I just started struggling with my classes and grades, and it honestly made me feel like such a failure because I don't want to fail nursing school you know? This just motivated me so much and I'm so happy for you! Congrats!
How did it turn out?
I’m terrible when it comes to math; but I’m still pursuing pre-nursing. When the time permits can you please do a video on the importance of math and what to expect. Thanks in advance if its possible 😊
I’m in my first semester and let me tell you! Math is so important!!
kat banda 😢 is it mostly algebra or fractions? I just need a refresher on formulas I think
You need math to calculate dosages for medication administration. The type of math used is called dimensional analysis. It’s actually very easy once you get the hang of it, and I hate math!
beautyncurls Im in 2nd semester..math is important. It is doable..with practice and dedication you can be successful. Don't ever let fear take over. You can do it. You can check out some video on youtube or get a book.off amazon.
Med math is super easy don't worry :) I dislike math and I LOVE doing dosage calculations.
I got accepted into nursing school & I can’t wait to start in January of next year 😆 Thanks for the awesome videos, Lexi! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙆🏾
Rin Rivers congrats
Same!!
Lexi I loved your honesty!!! You didn't came out saying everything was prefect, you related to most people that will be nurses in the future. I agree with the stress pressure from the work load but what make you into the best nurse. Stay encouraged girl you will be great at what you set your mind to. The learning process never stop😀.
Hi I'm a retired Nurse. I can tell from listening to you that you are going to be a fantastic Nurse because you have an open mind and you are not afraid to put yourself out there to learn. I like the way you are able to humble yourself. Having that trait in nursing is so important. I would luv to work with a person like you!
I love how you don’t fake the funk making it seem like you know everything already and as if your not struggling with it. I hate when I hear new nurses talking like they don’t need help with anything because I know that’s bs there’s just no way and you proved that completely. It’s reassuring to hear you talk about your experience the way you do because I know I would be feeling the exact same way and it’s nice to be reminded that we all go through that “running around like a chicken with your head cut off” or “looking like a deer in headlights” phase when starting a new job. Xoxo
Thank you for your honest feelings in regards to this new experience. I am a new ER nurse and I have similar feelings, hoping it will get better with time and I will gain more confidence in myself. I work at a rural hospital and I will be the only RN in charge of the ER. I struggle with telling everyone what to do who have already been there much longer than me, as well as the Paramedic-PCT. I'm nervous as well, but excited .
I really love your vulnerability and how you share your experiences with us. It really helps me realize that everyone feels these overwhelming feelings, especially when you said feeling like you’re in the way, I’ve felt that before on a new job. And it’s not a good feeling. But I love how you’re taking everything as it comes and you’re not scared to make a mistake and just learn and grow from being the new kid on the block. I’m so excited to start nursing school next year! I don’t know you but I’m really proud of you and everything that you’ve done so far! Keep it up Lexi! And please keep sharing😊
This is my second time watching this video. Once before nursing school, and now Im about to be an ER nurse in 2 week straight out of nursing school so i need some reassurance lol. You just made me 10x more excited, I cant wait to see what the ER has in store for me !!!
Im going into nursing school and looks so fun and im scared at the same time!
I have worked as a CNA for the past 4 years and finishing up my RN pre-reqs and you make me so excited to get into the nursing program! Love you ❤️
It's actually very comforting that you said you learned more in your three shifts than in nursing school. I'm having such a hard time feeling like I don't do anything in clinical or feeling like I don't know anything.
CONGRATULATIONS on making it through your first week!!! You just expressed all the feelings I'll probably have when I get my first nursing job. I'm in my final semester of getting my associates degree and I'm both excited and a little terrified of what working a real shift as an RN will actually be like. Keep us posted on your journey!
super excited for you!! I just started my rotation in medicine (Geri) and my teacher is a current RN in the ED. she has a million stories about patients/cases shes encountered and it sounds made up sometimes because things can get crazy! its like no other type of nursing. I had never even considered the ED somewhere I would want to work but now definitely thinking about it! keep updating us :-)
I am almost done with my third semester of nursing school and I have decided that I am in love with the ED as well. I had one clinical day in the ED and it was just amazing. I love your videos because I can learn from them as well for when I start my career so soon! Love your videos, they are so real.
Girl I’ve been an RN fer 4 years and finished my BSN this past December. Was a home health nurse with a pediatric hospice client. Only pt I’ve ever had. I KNOW I need hospital experience like yesterday. Watched a handful of your blogs and I am SO grateful you share your experiences. Keep feeling scared I’ll get hired. Now listening to you... I think I’ll be downright mad if I don’t get to start in the ER 😂 keep up your great work!
Loved everything about this video. I've always known ER was stressful and challenging but I also know how much fun it can be with all the excitement and "mystery" like you said, with not knowing what case will come in through those doors. I'm glad you're doing good and progressing as well as learning a lot everyday. You inspire me everyday and motivate me so much to keep striving in the program and to never give up! Much love and wishing you all the best ❤
I was so excited for this video! Please make more as you progress in your job!! Maybe check in again in a month 👩🏻⚕️❤️❤️
I LOVE your passion. Can I just take a second to thank you for being so passionate and hard-working? Many nurses I've come across where I live don't seem very engaged in their job or in compassionate patient care. Maybe they're just burnt out, and that's fair, but I'm always so grateful when I see nurses like you. We need more eager nurses who put in effort like you. Don't you ever change!
Truly loved this video! As "Overwhelming" as you say your first week was, you still managed to make it sound so exciting. I start my First year at Nursing school next year Feb, and as daunting as most people make it seem, you make the end result look like a dream. (An overwhelming dream at that.) Keep them vid's coming!
In mental health , patho and clinical reasoning I can not wait to get the real experience and really learn how to be in the field. We had codes and fingerprints to the med room and some autonomy but I'm sure it's going to GREAT!
I saw this video months ago when I started mentally preparing when I applied for the job.. now I’m watching this video after my first 8 hours on the floor. I feel so much better, I know they might not be confident in me but im trying to do and learn all I can at work and away from work. I love it ! Learned so much
I couldn't graduate from my diploma nursing school without starting 25 Iv"s on real live patients. Everything Foley's, NG tubes, colostomy care had to be done with live patients. REAL patients. Worked whole shifts before we graduated. I feel bad for the students today they do not get enough clinical. I was just has a new graduate care for me after my mastectomy. She had never hung blood before. Really never. Sad. But I tried to tell her that was okay by next week she would be a pro at it. The other nurse and I think she will be great in a week. Smart but not enough real clinical.
Girl yes. Just completed my first week and like.. my gosh.. so much information but watching this makes me feel like I’m relating to a friend 😭🙏🏼
I LIVE for these update videos! I’m far behind, just starting my prerequisites in January for nursing school at my university, but your videos give me so much motivation to keep pushing forward! I’d love to work in the emergency department!
I'm glad you recognize how lucky you are to work with people who are helpful and supportive toward you. I can't imagine doing what you're doing working with the people I have worked with in the past at random jobs who are just so rude and make you feel stupid and talk behind your back.
I'm so excited for you!! I'm still finishing my pre-nursing classes and my dream is to be a CRNA, so I have a long way to go lol but watching your videos keeps me so inspired and I learn so much. Thank you so much girl and congrats on your first of many successful weeks as an ER nurse!! 🤗💛
I freaking love you. "I was staring at the restraint like ....." 🤣I start in the ER once I pass my boards and I feel like this whole video about to be me 😩
I just have to say your curls girl😍😍😍
I'm starting nursing school in January and your videos have helped me so much!
I just wanted to thank you, I started my last semester clinical in the ED and felt very overwhelmed after the first week, but your videos are giving me the confidence to push through! Thank you
You go girl! Congrats!! I just found your video and I’m glad I did! I’m a dialysis tech Right now but I want to start nursing soon ❤️ I’ve worked in the hospital closest to me for 5 years lol when I use to draw blood we’d go to the ER & it is crazy!!! Sometimes I’d go to draw one lab but in my head I’d say “I better get a few more tubes I bet the doctor will want another test” I loved saving people from getting stuck more than they needed to lol I hope you get beast at IV’s ❤️
I cannot believe how much I love to stare at you and listen to your stories! You're simply amazing, your beauty is indescribable, and you inspire me so much! Thank you for your channel and I will always watch you grow and continue to inspire me throughout the rest of my nursing program and into my career. Keep it up! :-D
I'm currently a critical care tech in the ED and I graduate from the nursing program in December! I will definitely be staying in the ED you learn sooooo much so fast!
I graduate nursing school in May and you sound so much like me!! I am sure I wanna start in the emergency department and I am so scared already for what's to come, yet excited! Keep us updated with your journey!
I don't know u but I am so proud of u for graduating!!! I just subscribed U look so nice in the photo u inserted at the end in your uniform I kind of teared up with joy hopefully that will be me too soon God bless all the nursing students and all students in general never give up no matter what crossroads or obstacles u may come up against keep persevering even if it takes longer than what u would like its ok u can do it! xoxo
This is awesome! So happy for you! you are going to be one of the best nurses ever! Having a good attitude and wanting to learn more shows the type of nurse you are, and that is a kick ass nurse! cant wait to hear stories a few months from now!
I'm in the same position as you it's just that I started ER nursing a month ago. This is my first job too after graduating from nursing school! And I totally agree when you said that you really learn more about being a nurse when you're already working! And also agree when you said that you'll forget all the you learnt from school when you're put in such a stressful situation! We can get through this sis! We'll be the best ER nurse! All the best!
I am dying at this video 😂😂 im currently a nursing student & I find this so funny because when I have to do skills its like my mind goes blank too. Looking at the clock at 8 then checking back 5 hours later & its 8:30 girl right 😂😂💀💀
love your insight ! I just got my consolidation placement in the ER, you definitely make me feel confident and excited to get to experience the ER
I love your videos! I’m in nursing school right now and your stories really relieve my anxiety about being a nurse one day and being responsible for people’s well-being:)
Love the honesty! I graduate in April and I know I’m going to be terrified haha
I start nursing school in Jan, im excited and scared lol. I work as a CNA now, and with nursing I think it soo important to have a good supportive team. They take the time to explain things and totally get your learning, then theres some who are are so mean and expect you to know everything and literary ignore you smh.
I’m in the second half of my first semester in nursing school and we just started going to clinical sites. I’m loving it and so excited to become a nurse
I think you’ll do great! You have Wonderful insight. Seam very enthusiastic, and great self awareness of your gaps. Can’t wait to follow your story.
I love how raw & honest your video is, and love hearing about the experiences! You give us pre-nursing students an idea of what to expect! :)
loveeee this! thank you so much for your take on the ER. I'm not sure where I want to be yet but I loved everything you said about your first week. when you told us you got a job in the ER I thought there is no way I could do that, I would be terrified, but it makes sense you would learn a lot and get to use skills. can't wait to hear more about it! so happy for you :D
Hi, I'm also a graduate nurse and you have motivated me!! I was having a dilemma if I wanted to start Med-surg to get a little experience before going to ER or not and I thinking just go ahead with ER because that's really what excites me. Praying to have an awesome experience as you 😊
Interesting perspective. I do agree that it is best that one learns from experience than just reading excerpts from a textbook on Nursing. Good luck in your field.
I’m watching you and smiling like a crazy person lol . That’s awesome you had a great learning and accomplished week !!!
Hiiii! So I'm a new subscriber. I followed because I am hoping I get to start in the ED like you as a new grad! I actually started with the two month update, then the year, then the 9 month, then this 1 week one and it's just funny going back and forth and see how confident you are now and then back to you not knowing what to do. It's honestly super comforting because I'm sure I'll be in the same position so I'm happy to see that you've kept such an awesome vibe throughout your journey!
Wow! I'm so proud of you for actually knowing what meds do! That gives me greater confidence.
Just came across your channel! I’m a pre nursing major and I’m so excited to start in the nursing program. You are just motivation that I can do the rigorous program and be successful! Good luck in your career!! 😊
this is my favorite way you’ve had your hair! you give me so much motivation & excitement for my future in nursing! ❤️
Swear, I love all of your videos! I start nursing school this upcoming Spring, and I am soo excited. Watching your videos throughout pre nursing kept me motivated!! :)
So happy for you! Your facial expressions are so funny. I'm sure a lot of ppl can relate to feeling nervous in the field. I've been there lol
I love your videos. You always give very helpful tips. You're not just talking just to talk like many ppl on UA-cam which I don't have time for. Plus your hilarious. You always be cracking me up... Lol. Look forward to your next video && good luck. You're doing great!! :)
Im a ER tech in a trauma 1 ED. I dont know where I learn more- nursing school or work! I so glad you love it!! Cant wait to be a ED RN
Girl thanks so much for this video! Always dreamed about being an ED nurse and heading into my final semester of nursing school. I have heard lots of mixed reviews about landing a new grad ED job and this was such a great and thourough perspective. This video also just re-affrimed why I feel called to ED. I could related to you so much and my passion for ED. Can't wait to be in the ED soon.
I just had my nursing school interview at AUM and it was way more laid back than I expected. I did great on the TEAS and I graduated a year ago with my biology degree and I currently work for a doctor’s office so I think I have a good chance. I love your channel and especially after this it solidified my interest in the ER. I love fast paced settings and I’m just really excited. I find out at the end of November so fingers crossed.
I love your story times!! You inspire me to keep going as I’m a pre nursing student. So excited for your journey now working in the hospital. 💕
Love the update Thankyou! Laughing at the "start a IV in their forehead"
A true inspiration. Also, please do a curly hair tutorial. ❤️
I love your honestly! I just graduated in May 2017 and I feel the same way at work some days. You just never know what to expect.
Love this video. Even though I will only be starting the LPN program in January it is just a stepping stone to where I want to be. You are so smart and inspiring! And I hope you continue to do well in your nursing profession! ☺️😘
You look so happy girl, you're glowing! So happy for you!
A true testament to Nursing School vs Real life nursing. 😍😍😍 you're awesome!
Thank you so so so much for making these videos🙏 I'm starting nursing school in a couple of weeks and honestly I'm beyond nervous. Your videos give me encouragement❤️
My first week was the same way. You'll get more comfortable as time goes by, don't get to frustrated. Good Luck! :)
I'm just starting to look into the nursing field. This was super helpful. Thank you! :)
I love watching your videos and I’m not even a nursing student, I’m a communication major 😭 but it’s just interesting to hear about the work you do
Thank you SO much for sharing cause you know we are loving it. Someday soon I'll be in your shoes and it helps alot to get a heads up from your experience. Work those skills girl... you are gonna be awesome and it probably won't take you long at all to get comfortable.
I can't wait to start nursing school...So happy for you girlie:)
I'm entering Nursing school after I graduate high school this year. I'm so excited thanks to you.
I love your hair and your videos! You are lucky you got a good preceptor. Mine was horrible and I felt like I was on my own. The ER seems like a scary place but then you work Telemetry and you realize that ER is awesome because you get rid of your patients quick instead of being stuck with a patient that is crashing for 12 hrs.. The ER is the place to be. PICU and NICU! Dont even think about it! Peds is heart breaking and I could not bear causing pain to the little kids. I lasted a week on PICU. But if you can deal with that, go for it. If you want to continue your education, go to ICU and become a CRNA. I would have done that If I could stomach the ICU but I cant. Bleh!
Hate Im just now watching this cause she is the BEST!!! LOVE the stories, very relatable..
Yay!! I’ve been waiting to hear how your new job goes. I’m only in fundamentals but already worried about being a new nurse all alone haha.
Thanks for describing your experience as a nurse. I laughed because II had similar experience in the field of IT.
I’m so happy for youuuuu! I start back classes on the 12th of dec . I failed a&p2 😢 so I’m a little nervous & frustrated. I feel like giving up but watching your videos gets me excited again.
I clicked so fast lol I’m so happy for you go girl
Hi Alexis, can you do a video on your experience finding a job as a new grad? I've heard finding the first job as a new grad can be difficult for various reasons, especially as an ER nurse. Congratulations though!
So happy for you girl. I cant wait to be a great nurse one day.
I graduate nursing school in Mayb with my BSN, and I too want to do ER! Girl I’m so thankful I found your videos lol
Abagayle Cable please message me what nursing school is like
Awesome video!!! Thank you for sharing and being so honest. I laughed SO hard about the restraints!
You inspire me to really take after the nursing career ! 😍
Gahhhhhh Lexi! This literally just reaffirmed that I want to be an ER Nurse. I'm just worried about having some grey's anatomy episode come through though, and seeing some REALLY mangled body.LOL my Biggest fear! but I know its unlikely. SO happy for you girl! You got this.
Can you do a scrubs collection video? :)
I don't get it? You can own scrubs? I am from Europe and we have to put them in a laundry bag before we go home. Not allowed to take them home, hospital property. I am not a nurse but will work in a hospital as sterilization tech(?)
Idellle Most places have color codes so you can wear any style scrubs just as long as it the right color, but some places you can any kind of scrubs.
So the hospital do not provide scrubs so you have to buy your own? I think it is a bit unhygienic to take them home and wash them.
Where I live, and I believe some places in the states, you can buy your own scrubs but some hospitals require nurses to wear certain colours. For example they might tell the nurses to wear burgandy, the doctors to wear royal blue, etc. It's recommended that you change out of your scrubs and shoes before you leave the hospital and put it in a laundry bag or something so you can wash them right away.
Idellle In the states where I live we buy and own our own scrubs. We do have to wear certain colors every job in the hospital has a certain set of colors they can wear.
I'm so happy I found your channel! I want to be a RN I'm ready for the experience. And you'd curly hair is beautiful
Could you do a curly hair routine (products included ) , especially having a busy schedule I know it’s hard to keep up with the natural hair ☺️
I know this is an old vid, but about to start my first job as an RN in the ER! So nervous and excited!
Thank you for keeping it real and telling your Journey. 🙏😍🙏
Never clicked a video so fast lol!Hey 💜
I loved every second of this video!! Omg! I am so happy for you!! ❤️❤️ You give me so much motivation to strive! I love you!! ❤️
I start Nursing school in Jan. You're super motivating. Thank your for the ED insight.
you motivate me to become a RN 😩😂♥️
