I worked nights for 12 years. Some things that helped. Ear plugs, eye mask and black out windows. For the windows I actually used black construction bags, and let me tell you, it was like sleeping in a cave. No light came through. Best of luck and I pray that you don’t have those crazy 24 hour shifts.
You icing your eye is me icing my jaw lol it’s crazy how stress and other stuff manifests in our body
People that work in healthcare are something else: "I want my ashes to be vacuumed with a Dyson"
Love u Rach!! 😅❤
Lol the comment about having your ashes vacuumed by the Dyson had me dying 🤣🤣🤣
This should be an hourly/overtime role. I wouldn't have the physical capability to handle consecutive sleepless nights anymore. It's pretty gruesome to your body as you age. Plus you get sick and weaker easier.
I know you are really overworked and im so sorry for that, but I cant stop thinking on all your close up shots about how PRETTY you are!! (even with an eyelid infection..sorry that keeps happening)
Hope your first year ends ASAP!!!
You can do it!!! Good luck!!❤
"And I don't know how to chill out but I need to."
YES, YES, YES. This is me too. Its so hard.
so proud of you queen❤️
As a physician who flips days/nights in a trauma center every few days, I empathize with you! Stay hydrated and ear plugs during the day;
I work nights in the hospital laboratory. I'm starting to love it (minus the difficulty with my social life). Less people, less drama, and sometimes it's so nuts you cant be tired! The shift goes faster.
Switching from days to nights and back is so rough. Can’t wait for the next video. Good luck!
Rachel Queeeeen, are you an ISFJ?
Best of luck heading into night shift week, Rachel!! You'll crush it as always 💪
Hi I'm new to your channel good job I tried a few classes and done nurse assistant job. Have a goodmonth.
I never comment on videos but good luck on nights! I’m trying to get off of them right now! Super rough but staying on a schedule helps!
In the Building watching from Vihiga Kenya 😎😎😎
My trick is having a toddler and a newborn so I don’t have much of a circadian rhythm anyway!
I love night duty as a midwife ❤. There’s something about the hospital not being as hectic (although it can get wild too). Lots of great night shifts with my co workers over the years ♥️
I’m glad you’re back Rachel! ❤I hope your eye feels better! 🎉
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Dr. Rachel- you do you!!! Even as simple as moisturizer brands means everything! Thanks for another great video!
I spontaneously decided to drive from Dallas, TX to San Diego this week cause I’ve never been to California & wanted to see the Pacific Ocean. It’s beautiful out here for sure (although EXPENSIVE!) Also, lots of homeless people in downtown SD, more than I’ve ever seen in Dallas or Orlando where I used to live. I almost want to stay, but I just can’t afford it. 🥲 Drivers go too fast here anyway…😏
Love your videos am watching from Ghana 🇬🇭 😊
neighborhood goals lol
Good luck on nights, it's tough but you will do awesome and learn lots ❤
You’re such an inspiration
All those nightshifts in a row is crazyyyy and Literally illegal where I'm from. DAMN does the US system need to learn about healthy work-life balance🙈 Rachel you are so strong for pushing through and staying focused on your goal🙌✨️ I would not be able to do it, and think it shouldn't be allowed anywhere... but that's a different discussion. Love your video's, really enjoy following your journey will all the ups, downs and everything in between❤
I got a Dyson for Christmas but haven't had the chance to open and use it yet because of holiday COVID. I can't wait for those vacuum lines!
Girllll! Use it ASAP. It will heal you.
Awesomeee video!! Love your content!
P.s. don't forget the sunscreen!
Good job! I can’t believe there are more tests 😮 just keep swimming!
The amount my ego just got boosted as an MS2 who got both those questions right lmao. Can’t be more excited for residency!
Happy New Year Rachel
In the Building waiting from Vihiga Kenya 😎😎😎
Love your vlogs with us all amen
How could people do this I want to learn how to stop being lazy
Saaaaaame 😭
When you said period😂🤣👌🏻
I’ll never use any other vacuum but a Dyson 😂❤
Congratulations!
Have you tried using baby shampoo to do lid washes? I have MGD and my optometrist and ophthalmologist recommended I use it to help with the dry eye. It is amazing at removing makeup and has been a game changer for me. Honestly I started using it on my entire face and it works so well.
That test answer about the ileus is just annoying. I was continually getting obstructions after my abdominal surgery and my surgeon was so arrogant and said that nothing could be wrong because he would have noticed in surgery. I finally ended up in the hospital for a five day stay because he kept telling me to eat fiber. The fact that answer said a perforation was unlikely because the surgery went well is just stupid. I also experienced a perforation that was supposedly unlikely. Got to lay in a hospital bed begging for help for a day and a half. I could just hear my arrogant doctors telling me how unlikely both the perforation was and the ileus.
As a midwife, I shift between day, evening and night shifts, all in one week, and let me tell you, it’s HARD. I actually like working night shifts, I just hate how hard the transitioning back and forth is.
Best of luck to you!
Toedeloe ❤ you've got this. Greetings from the Netherlands
as an MLS, to answer the bacteria question anything that is over 100,000 CFUs would need treatment. the reason why it wouldnt be lactobacillus (since it was also 100,000 CFUs) is that its normal flora of the vagina so it wouldnt cause the uti
also to add, if u see multiple different bacteria then the specimen is most likely contaminated and they'll probably call for another collection if needed
Loved the vlog!! Watching from Chile🇨🇱
Hiii 🫶🤍🩶🤎
Night shift is so amazing once you get used to it. 24s too
As an introverted, DO student who immediately clocked that Dyson vacuum at 2:34 (bc I also happened to have just purchased my own the other day) and who also finds vacuum lines so gratifying… the release of this video couldn’t have been more serendipitous 🤣🤣🤣
You got this love❤!
I was a medical transcriptionist for over 20 years so the "period" tickled me.
🙏❤☺️
Hello Dr. Southard! Thank you so much for all you do! I'm a premed in my second semester of college and have been so discouraged by those around me to pursue medicine. You've shown that time and time again perseverance is key. I loved walking through your exam questions (even though I don't understand everything). Keep up the great work!
Hi Rachel, I'm curious about TrueLearn. Are these question banks pre-made/preset for you based on what year in residency you are? Similarly, if you used TrueLearn (or another question bank program), do the questions get pre-selected based on what year of med school you are in? Thanks!
I had an ingrown hair follicle in my eyelid and it hurt so bad. Eye pain is honestly the worst cause you can never forget it’s hurting since everytime you blink it’s a reminder
I’m a MA at a dermatology clinic and we have a lot of people who struggle with dry skin. One easy, but big game changer that my doctor always recommends is moisturizing right after getting out of the shower before you dry off. Turn off the water, wipe any excess water off with your hands, then put a thicker moisturizer (typically ones in a jar are better for this) then pat dry with a towel. It helps the skin absorb the moisturizer. It’s been a game changer since I’ve started implementing it. You can always put on another round of moisturizer later, but doing this first helps throughout the day. Also sleeping with a humidifier in the room is a great way to help your skin.
❤❤
I’m an NP student. Of course, NP’s get so much heat from physicians and PA’s. However, I love that our knowledge base is truly the same. Seeing the questions and being able to answer them correctly and knowing the explanation before you even show it. I know I deserve to be here with all of you other smart peoples
Where’s your necklace from / name of necklace?
Every time i see you upset tired and complaining about your work as a doctor I question my decision of wanting to become one ( am at my 4th year now ). Idk do you feel like it’s worth it ? I don’t want to cry every single day before going to work 😂
Ughhh night shift is brutal! Do you have a kiddo? I thought I saw a clip where you were carrying one on your shoulders! I don’t know how you do it all😂
I love it!! And no, I don’t have kids hehe
@@RachelSouthard I love watching your videos! So sweet and compassionate 💗
