I honestly have been feeling defeated lately after my shifts, you would think 12 hrs is enough time to get things done. But I have to keep reminding myself that Rome wasn't built in one day.
Wowwwww this video could not come in a better time. Matter of fact, it's the perfect time. I just told someone that I don't think nursing is for me (judging from the test scores I've been receiving) and low and behold, this video pops up on my phone. How is that possible.
Lol same here.. finals and I panicking!
I wanted to throw up taking my midterm the other day but I passed it with a B and dug myself back out of the dirt I was in. You can do it just keep hustling.
Feel like I've been in nursing school for 70 years and still feel like I know absolutely nothing. Apparently that's normal. 😂💀
In the year 2000, I was accepted into a nursing program, and after my first clinical rotation I felt 100% the same way you did. I went home and analyzed my day at clinical, and felt so consumed that I actually dropped out of the program. I wish I had someone to talk me out of dropping out, because I regretted my decision. Eighteen years later, I will be starting nursing school again with a better outlook, because now I have hospital experience and I know what it takes, and what to expect. There should be some type of class that pre-nursing students should take, so they could get a better feel and understanding about what a nurse really does. I think this would be great and help some students make a decision on whether or not if this is the career for them....
Agreed
Still agree
Wow, bet you didn't know you were speaking directly to me, huh? I'm in my first semester of nursing school in an ADN program, and my first clinical rotation (which I'm still in, currently) has been on the nephrology unit. Very complex patients, and I have to say that my first real day in clinical with a patient was not necessarily a failure, but very eye-opening and definitely shook my confidence. I just had to go back the next week and hit it even harder. Thank you for sharing. It's a reminder that it was a learning opportunity and chance for growth, and I'm not alone in that! There's hope for me, yet. 😉
Oh buddy, I'm in my last days of nursing school and feel that way.
I am an LPN going through a transition program to become an RN. I am studying so hard and I'm barely scraping by... I literally feel like I'm drowning. I called my mom and told her I'm giving this program my all and I'm afraid its not good enough. I made a deal with myself that I'm going to keep pushing and if I am asked to leave the program, it is what it is BUT I WILL NOT QUIT. Tomorrow is my first clinical day and I really need things to turn around.
First semester student here. I can totally relate! Glad it gets better with time though. That's why we have to keep on pushing! 💪
I just want to say thank you so much for what you do. I found you a few years back when I was a lot less confident in my ability to become a nursing student. Not even taking any prerequisites yet. Watching your videos along with Ashley Adkins videos were so inspiring. After taking some time to reflect your videos on grinding and motivation has helped me tremendously. I had a lot of doubt but your voice replays in my head that its all about the GRIND! I sit here at 4 o clock in the morning studying physiology. (I have a newborn and a two year old its the only time I can study lol) When I need to take a break I watch your videos for motivation and to remind myself why I am doing this. Thank you so much for your honesty and commitment!
So glad I found you. You are so helpful and encouraging to all of us who watch. Thank you for all the support you send to us all. 💕
I have to let you know. I am in my first semester, and I am doing well, getting good grades on exams. However, I have never had any medical experience at all. I took Anatomy and physiology 2 years ago, and I have to study so hard to review and understand FUNDAMENTALS. I have extreme nursing school anxiety, to the point where I doubt myself and my place in the nursing profession almost daily. Your videos really help me when I get to that point, your message of “the grind” resonates with me and you bring my mind back down to earth. I just wanted to thank you. Sometimes my family and friends are tired of hearing how stressed I am and it helps to have someone who has experience share their advice and stories.
I graduate in a couple weeks. This is right on time. Thanks as always.
Thank you so much! I needed to hear that today! it is spring break and I was contemplating exactly what you were talking about. Thanks again and keep doing what you do! God Bless You!
I know that this is an older post, but I am so glad that I came across it. I am just about through my first year of a 2 year RN program and I feel so defeated. I wanted to quit so many times. I just keep telling myself this only for a season and the reward is so much greater. Thanks for the encouragement. Love your videos!!!!
Thanks for posting, I'm not in nursing school but I'm graduating this May from the radiology program. Man does it get overwhelming. Just have to grind. Get up and do it all again tomorrow!!!
Hi there! I've been listening to you for awhile now. Thanks for the content. I always appreciate your humility. It's a beautiful thing. Many blessing, keep striving.
I feel like this all the time and I graduate in 2 weeks and five days!!!! 😬
If you made this far. You are nurse material. This field is way too cutt throat and we need balance in the least. We need good people man. Be proud!
Thanks!
Congrats! I'm almost there!
Dude thanks for the motivation. Im about to finish my second semester and i definitely have been second guessing myself on this path after how poorly i did specifically with exams. Youre right though it is absolutely a grind. I plan on coming back next semester with that in my mind.
Thank you! I am SO AT THIS POINT.
I literally started crying as I listened to you out of relief. I am a first semester Nursing student and we’ve had weeks of lectures. I ace my tests with ease, exceed written assignments, pass every skill on the first attempt, and am always up to date with class materials/deadlines/concepts. Today was my first clinical. Scrolling on the computer for my patient with a dozen corbities, 30 (not exaggerating) medications, limited time, and a spotty head to toe assessment. Overhearing the nurses meeting to give report I asked myself if this is truly where I can be. This video consoled and inspired me. Thank you Nurse Bass

Dmarie ❤️❤️ You’re so welcome!
Thanks man, first semester nursing student. I was feeling the same way my first clinical.
As always, your video is right on point! The topics and content you come up with are so helpful and motivating, and you have such a way with speaking to your viewers. Thank you for another insightful video!
(I'm starting an ADN program in January and have been struggling with self doubt lately, though mine has been more about whether I'll be able to study and apply myself the way nursing school requires.)
I did great in nursing school wanted to be a nurse since I was a small child....but I’m so scared right now (probably just because my nclex is SOON) but it scares me because not necessarily I won’t be a good nurse, but what if I don’t pass, I’ll be a total failure to everyone who said I wouldn’t ever be anything EVERYONE I know knows I’ve been in this program so I’m just so scared! This video helped ease that some!! Thank you for that! Some days I wish I was an engineer or something but every career I know there will be a huge test! And to think.....once I wanted to be a lawyer!!! Lol!
I needed this video. Thank you Nurse Bass.
Thank you, I needed this. I'm almost done with second and it's been a struggle. I'm worried about passing but I'm ready to buckle down and get these last few tests done.
with you. Def can relate. Currently going through those feelings of self-doubt and second guessing myself.
Thanks for the vid bro!
Thanks brotha, tonight’s my first shift on my own and I’m really worried. I got kids to care for and my fiancé. Your right, put one foot in front of the other and just keep coming back. Thanks for the insight
I'm a nurse but I decided to quit and find another career. Being a nurse made me so stressful and frighten. Sometimes I've been thinking I wish I could be that strong not to panic in doing my task as a nurse
This truly encouraged me! Thank you. Oh and you have a really cool voice! 😁
Love the positivity !!! How’s life treating you and the nursing world ??? Tell us about the field !! Lol. I’m working as an lpn now with intellectually disabled residential place. And going to school for my RN. Just started PEDS! 😬 lol congrats on your one year btw 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!! Love your videos!!
As always a solid video. Miss ya bass. Congrats btw.
Love and needed this thank you
I feel like this often. One nurse I work with told me imperfection is part of the reality of being human! We need to focus on doing our best yet recognize sometimes we will be defeated!
Many of us feel our best isn't enough. And sometimes that feeling is reinforced by our managers, professors, coworkers....
It is a calling for a very very small amount of people.
I'm studying my first year of nursing in the UK and I am due to find out where my first allocated placement will be on the 4th December. Even though I haven't done placement yet I am definitely feeling this way. I don't know if I can do what needs to be done, I don't feel like I know enough and am terrified of not being able to do it. This video has popped up at the right time😊
Thank you so very much!!
I freakin love ur hair!!😍😍😍
If you have panic attacks, I will suggest you to figure out what is wrong with you and what makes you fearful. Stop being fearful and stop overthinking. Ask God for His courage and to work thru you. His glory and grace should manifest in you for you are made in His image and creation. Prayer is powerful. If atheist says no, remember he doesn’t knows God’s power but you do. Pray for him positively.
Panic attacks are the enemy that stops from what is really for you. Keep your faith in God. He is our strength! He loves you and your strength is nothing compared to His.
@UA-camr999 yes.
Cari thank you so much! I needed this today
I failed exam 1 yesterday and I needed to hear this. Thanks bro.
Love the beard! Love your hair pushed back, Thank you for the perfect message, I never even graduated high school and it took several times of the teacher explaining for me to understand so I’m terrified but start school soon, I’ve been accepted so it’s a huge deal but just thinking about how hard I am so scared like will I eat will I sleep will I lose hair will I cry in class lol too many thoughts.
Thanks man!
//Thank you for this video. Will start applying to Nursing schools in a few weeks.
Thank you sir. I appreciate your videos.
Absolutely!
Iam just doing my bksb test done the initial one and doing my practise parts the brain get so full I have said to myself today I will put it away for the day to regroup which is hard for me to do but I got to do it because I'll just burn out lol it's harder when you need help with maths at school I'm 41 now and I can say they didn't care much at school to teach someone with difficulty s but I got math level 2 working at level 3 plus thos practice modules I've passed four in the last day by repeating things to show i understand learning never stops figures crossed I get in all I know is I'm going to use a math tutor my literacy is a level 3 working at level4 I hate these test things but it's worth it if I get to work in a different area of health
Funny how I just express my fears today and up pops this video🤔.. confirmation much!
Subscribed! I love your videos.
Thank you my friend. Will have new stuff coming soon :p
Thanks
Thanks. Nice video
I just finished nursing school. I'm a nurse , but I'm so afraid. I don't think I know anything about nursing although I passed every exam and every rotation with nice marks. I don't feel confident because my final paperwork ( a thesis) was very criticized by my teachers actually it was a disaster because the teachers who revised it don't get along with the nurse that was my tutor .They just destroyed me . I feel so bad because I shoud me applying for a job right know, but I completely freeze everytime I even think about it.
Feel like I'm letting my family down.
I haven't told anyone , too scared. Don't know what to do, honestly.
PD: It took me 7 years to finish nursing school ( normally it's 4), I had to stop 2 years because I took care of my boyfriend who had cancer . I'm a disappointment . My parents paid for all those years. I feel so bad, but I can't say anything , and then when I was so happy , I had the opportunity to graduate, thesis happened and I can't recover from that experience.
Darcyness a thesis is just an assignment at the end of the day. Don't let this experience bring you down since you've gotten this far. You are not a failure and you are not a disappointment.
You can do it! Don't let bad experiences scare you away from something you want to do:)
Darcyness remeber why you started. Things must beyond tough for you but that doesn’t mean you should stop, see it through at least. Give it a year
I know this was two years ago and I really hope you're doing well, but this made me want to cry because how beautiful are you? You stopped to take care of your very sick boyfriend. How much more of a nurse can one be than that? ❤️
Thanks I'm starting nursing school I'm so scared
Med surg is killing me! My tests scores are so low.. Im barely passing. They are going hard on us this year to and have it out for certain peeps.. Im scared imma fail! Thanks for this video tho, it helps.
Yes, nursing school is rough man. You will get there!
I'm 36 am I to old to become a nurse ?
Griselda Castillon no u r not
Griselda Castillon NO! I'm 42 and just staring my whole life over and added nursing school to the reboot. If I can do it so can you❤
I'll be 35 this summer and will be graduating nursing school. You're never too old to accomplish your goals and dreams.
You can do it
Amen!
My difficulties have come from fellow students... i can only imagine the work place drama...
This scares me, tbh, more than the job itself. Tell me how it turned out.
bro they let you rock a beard like this? they hiring?lol
Do a video when BEFORE you apply to nursing school and you felt like you suck but life turned the tables on you.
What is going on brother, facial hair, long hair nope! Please give me that baby face please because I am always watching your videos lol. xoxoxoxox
what's with the headband... haha. tanks for the vid.😀
