I completely understand. I'm an RN in the emergency department. I had so much anxiety during my first 2 years. When I would drive to work I would get so nauseous because I anxious about what I was going to walk into. I struggled to eat and to sleep. It was rough but I started seeing a therapist to help me deal with it. And your right God is greater than my fear I have and he has given us the power. You certainly aren't alone.Thanks for sharing your story.
thank you for sharing yours! but I'm so glad you are in a much better place.
Kirsten S. Anxiety was a real factor for me within my first 2 yrs as well I ended up with an event monitor due to elevated HR and had multiple trips to the ER only to be told I was anxious. This yr I had to make drastic changes to find balance.
Nurse anxiety is so real and true. It's in every area of nursing. I had to make drastically changes to create balance
yes balance is definitely key!
Thank you for sharing. It’s very comforting to know other nurses all over the world go through this. God bless Xx
Aisha yes we all do! Don’t be too hard on yourself
Thank you so much for sharing this. I am a new grad in the ICU and I was generally so confident before nursing. I have been a nurse for about 8 months and I felt that my self esteem really took a hit because I felt like the weakest link on the team compared to the other experienced nurses. I thought it was just me going through. My anxiety would manifest when it was time for me to speak to a Doctor or experienced nurse. I would fumble over words and that made me feel even sillier. SO thank you for sharing.
no problem ! everyone one has gone through this! even the experienced nurses themselves, it just takes time , don't be too hard on yourself.
Hi, I’m a 3rd year nursing student, I searched this video to help me with anxiety before placement, I saw your comment and I just wanted to ask, did you get used to this anxiety or no? 🥹
Thank you for putting up this video! I’ve been a nurse for 2.5 years now on telemetry and cross training into the ICU. I’ve been so anxious, and my anxiety manifests as my mind goes blank and my heart races. I forget tasks or overlook things. I do feel dumb around the experienced nurses because they think of things my mind didn’t during the whole shift. I was just starting to feel good on telemetry too, and now a new adventure begins. Fear is so crippling, so thank you for this.
no problem, it gets better! take it one day at a time, don't be too hard on yourself. Prayer definitely helped me so I will encourage that too.
Thank you for put up this video, anxiety is kind of looked down upon the nursing community. It is a sign of weakness in our field because it does not showcase confidence . Coping is difficult and I thank you for putting your take on coping
yes it is ! which makes the anxiety even worse but I am glad this video gave you suggestions on how to cope with it.
I agree with what you have said completely.
you put it so well; i agree. it’s hard.
Well said I’m a new nurse and I go through this all the time. I always pray before going to work as well
Yes prayer is a powerful weapon
So refreshing to encounter a humble nurse on UA-cam. The fact that you praise God says it all 😇
Thank you for this... I am a hospice nurse (new speciality for me) in training and I needed this. Rough day today and I did well.. I hope to go back 6 months from now and look back at this comment. I found god as a nurse 5 years ago
thank God! you cam do it !
Hey how are you doing now❤️
I am doing well I don't even remember the rough day I was referring to 7 months ago
@@OldCBnGuns oh wow I’m happy to hear that, keep up the good work❤️
Yesssss!! Amen!! I've been an LVN for 17yrs!! Prayer has been a vital part of who I am...especially in my nursing ability. It has made all the difference in my life!
yes!!God is good!
I thank u so much for this video, I’m already feeling the anxiety about nursing school and it’s not til August. I will pray and recite the Timothy verse everyday. Thank you 🙏🏾 ❤
This is me. The anxiety is killing me. I'm constantly hyperaware.
it gets better with time I promise!
Thank you so much for this video. I am starting my medical assistant Externship today and I struggle with anxiety. I’m working towards being a nurse. The Lord has placed this call on my heart. Thank you for reminding me of what I already knew but allowed worry to push aside.
I started out as an Aid, then a LPN for 5 yrs. Went back for my RN and have been working as an RN for 2 months including training. I work at a hospital on a medsurg/peds floor. Stayed on the same floor I worked on as a LPN. I have never EVER experienced the kind of anxiety I have since becoming an RN. It's so bad I break out in hives at times. I even cry a lot more 🤣🤦♀️😭. I hate bedside nursing and dont look foward to going to work anymore with my new role. I know I need to give it time to get comfortable but damn is it hard. I knee the transition from lpn to RN was going to be different, but I did not expect to feel such anxiety and self dout in myself.
im so sorry Jessica! try to find another job for your peace of mind
I needed that bible verse tonight. It is my first night back to work after a traumatic event and the thought of coding someone is sending me straight into a panic attack. Thanks for sharing your wisdom. I will be quoting that verse in my head throughout this shift.
This video is exactly what I needed and what I needed right now. Thank you! 💜🙏🏾
no problem, Im glad it helped!, don't let fear stop you from reaching your goals.
Thank you for this! I’ve always struggled with everyday anxiety as well as social anxiety , currently in nursing school. New sub ☺️
thank you for subscribing! im sorry you go through this but It gets better with time, the more you are exposed the more acclimated you become to situations.
Thank you for this....I am capable
I’m glad I came across this video. Please pray 🙏🏾 for me.
I’m curently a new nurse and it’s very weird but my knees shake when i’m anxious. I didn’t know that I was like that either untill I started working as a nurse. My faith sure helps and my family. I know it’s going to get easier with time I just have to keep patient and perseverent.
Thank you so much for this video. You are a true blessing. I have been dealing with severe anxiety as a nursing student. I will start working as a student nurse on PACU this Wednesday, and have struggled in my mind like what if I make so many mistakes and people call me stupid. Today during a code training, I was so anxious that I dropped the epinipheren medication when trying to use the syringe and the glass broke. I felt like running out of the lab. But I just had to keep going even though I felt fear. Im also a Christian and I loved your bible scripture and what you said about God bringing you here as a nurse. I am well able to do what God has called me to do which is to save lives. Thanks again!!!!
Im so glad it was helpful! it gets better Andrea!
Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I panicked and couldn’t do chest compressions during my first icu code. I panicked and let everyone get in My head. It made me feeling really incompetent and injured my ego. This was yesterday.
Ur definitely not alone sis, thank you so much to this video
no problem !💕
Thank you for this video! I relate to everything you said. I just graduated in January and did my final preceptorship in the PACU. I was so anxious throughout it that I started experiencing excessive hair shedding. Right after my placement was finished my hair went back to normal. I've dealt with anxiety my whole life and nursing has definitely brought it out because of the exact things you said, being scared of being incompetent and not performing well/fast enough. I don't want to let my anxiety stop me from accepting a position there but every time I think about going back I get so anxious, despite me loving the PACU! This video helps a lot!
Anxiety is the worst but please don’t let it stop you from working in the PACU, like i said with time it gets better! You’ll gain more experience you start to feel more comfortable in such environment. You got this. Thank you for sharing your story! It will help someone as well
Ugh that is hard girl, stay positive. I am sure you are a great nurse, as you get more experience also, it will help with confidence which will help reduce your anxiety.
@@DabidRobinson Thank you so much!
Yea girl, this is exactly how I feel. So much going on, so much to learn, so much pressure... it’s exhausting. Not to mention, I’m so anxious about my work I can’t even think about having conversations with coworkers 😒
Im going tru this rnow. Im a nurse for 7 years but i migrated to the UK and im here 6 mths and I have never felt this anxious in my life . Many days I go to work and the nurses constantly insult me like where did u do nursing because I dont know some of their machines or meds that they have but I go home and research alot. Im the only black nurse on my unit and im watched even more than anyone else. I have butterflies everyday I go but it subsides 1 or 2 hours after I start the shift. Thanks for your video I pray I feel comfortable in time to come.
I'm so sorry you've been going through this! with More exposure it will get easier. Ill remember you in prayer. Stay strong
Thank you for making this video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video🙏
no problem! I really hope it helps
Thank you for this video I recently started a job in L&D and it’s so much. I constantly feel overwhelmed and like I can’t do it. I want to keep pushing but in the back of my mind there’s always that voice that says “ you can’t make it” & I begin to discourage myself
You got this!! give it time
Thank you for helping me 😊

I’m a psych nurse and my anxiety is even worse everytime a patient flips. Thanks for talking about it
oh wow, I cant imagine, but no problem! I hope you find healthy ways to cope with it.
Anxiety is new for me, but it really spikes when I have confrontation with patients or family. I just do not do well in the situations especially when they are upset, it can be very hard.
yeah, I can also relate in this situation thank you for sharing, but at least now that you've identified it , try to find ways to overcome it.
God bless you. This helped me so much
Glad it helped!
I am glad I found your channel. I have social anxiety and I am nurse. Right now i am not working but soon i am going to start working again and i am very anxious about it. I have same see symptom as you have fear, heart rate raised, sweating and the worst is shaking.
aww I so sorry!, it gets better with time I promise.
@@Micheleschoicemay i know how long does it takes you to get better??
Thank you Soo much appreciate this 🥰
No problem!
Thank you for this video and great video as always.
Thank you so much for this video . I'm currently having this anxiety when i have procedure in my practicals that friends mock me and even call me aunty parkinson. Is such a sad feeling.
Me too I start shaking god
I'm so nervous about the transition of going from a student to a job like right away. Idk if hospitals have like a training week to learn hospital layout or if ur just thrown into it 😭 definitely scary stuff
i need this right now :(. I would like to pursue RN but I feel like I cant handle anxiety 😩
i’m going to nursing school this year, and i’ve been watching so many videos about nursing to know what i’m getting myself into. i’ve had anxiety for many years and i’m scared that i’ll get anxiety when giving an i.v. or anything intense. do other nurses have this too? does it get easier? or should i reconsider going to nursing school?
Hey Taylor! I felt anxiety too, but I think its a normal process we all go through! with experience and exposure it gets better! You will learn what to do in nursing school in order to be a safe nurse. Right now you are scared because you haven't learned yet but once the knowledge comes, apply it and of course pray and you will do well!
Just want to say thank you 🙂
aww no problem, Thank you for watching.
As a nurse, I don't get how nurses feel anxiety. Just look at your patients. They have it way worse than you. This cycle of anxiety is a millennial thing. Everyone's on some kind of anxiety med nowadays.
