I will soon be having my 3rd major surgery and as always a little nervous but the last time I remember there was this one Nurse who helped make me feel so comfortable and I never forgot that, after a few days went by I called the hospital and asked if there was any way to speak with them for just a quick minute and they let me I told her "Thank you" and she was so grateful to hear that because she was having a bad hectic day and just that small token helped make her day and it filled my heart that I could do that :) sorry so long but just wanted to share
I love how transparent you are! Letting us new nurses and soon to be nurses know what it really is like! Not everyone does that on their social media platform so thank you 💕
You'd be fine doll....just know that you'd have to sacrifice a lot of the free time you may have and dedicate it to your studies. Once you love what you do, no matter how tough it gets you'd always pull through.
It’s gonna be cool for you looking back at this video in a couple years. It’s crazy how much stronger i feel as a nurse now than when I was in my first year. Nursing is hard af but the great thing about nursing is you learn so much 🧠
Thank you for speaking on the importance of patient education! I'm in nursing school and observed many nurses not giving education even though the opportunity to, and the extra time was there. I don't want to judge because I know every one gets in thier routine but as a student I still have that mindset of doing everything a certain way and I hate seeing patients getting discharged without some knowledge they could use. (I have stepped in and helped with education when I could).
I was an ER nurse for 10 years and stories like this stick with you all your life. You learn so much and soo quickly in the ER, you’ll be able to conquer anything in life. These vlogs are awesome because you’ll be able to look back on them and see how much you’ve grown. Props to you girl..😋 Just wait til you deliver a baby!! Stay in ER for a while and it’s bound to happen 😱
Yasss keep the ED vids coming!! I started orientation last Monday (ED) & the night before STILL feels like the first day of school 😩😂. What Trauma level is your facility!? Also.....🤔 What do you use to slay dem edges? 🙌🏾😭
You’re glowing! 😍 So proud that things are going well for you! You inspire me... I’m just about to start nursing school and I’m looking forward to the journey
Welcome to the world of Emergency Services!! 🚑🙌 You’re absolutely right there’s nothing that can prepare you for the real life moment/experiences😮.. but you get through them.. and soon enough you’ll have your board certification in emergency nursing :) Now THAT is a challenging test! Way to be a rockstar :)👍 - SJT
I think what they’re referring to is the CEN exam. She’s passed the NCLEX, who’s is what makes her a registered nurse, but there’s an optional Certified Emergency Nurse test she can take. A lot of units have some type of specialized cert they push for. I work on PICU, so they want our nurses to get their CCRN for critical care.
OOHHH okay, I knew that she had passed her NCLEX. And as soon as she started to work in the ED, but I also noticed that she was still working on something. But I think that she was just working on her BSN then, not CEN.
Hospice and having to make life or death decisions as a family member is the worst we were trying to transfer my great grandmother into hospice and making decisions a few days ago but sadly she passed before we could make those decisions and the nurses and the CNA’S were AMAZING ❤️
Love your positive outlook! I’m so tired of only hearing horror stories about the first year. I start my ER orientation after Memorial Day and this is exactly what I needed to hear! Thanks Boo 🫶🏽
I love when you update us on your ED journey! And I completely understand what you mean when it comes to getting those hard sticks. I got a job for a new grad nurse residency ED program at a level 1 trauma center last week and I am sooooo excited and nervous. You definitely inspired me to pursue emergency nursing!!! What shoes do you wear in the ED?
I'm so thankful for your videos. Im a semi new nurse going into the ED. I was in med surg for 5 months then decided to find something closer to home. I'm excited to build my confidence and learn a variety of different things. I'm really nervous but I'm hoping the ED is meant to be. I just want to grow into the best nurse that I can be. 😚
girl so glad you got that iv,,,i am a hard stick and a chronic afib patient... plus ms and diabetes and arthritis... so i am in the er a lot.... go you... a good nurse makes allllll the difference
It's crazy how much you learn on the job in such a short amount of time! I feel the same about the med/surg floor I'm on. I was terrified and slow at the beginning, and now I'm comfortable with pretty much anything! How many patients, on average, do you see in your ER? And what trauma level are you guys? I love floating to the ER so I've been thinking about transferring!
I found your channel just this week and I’m so grateful I did! Have you done a video on staying healthy while being an ER nurse? Would people who have chronic illnesses such as Hashimotos and Lyme have struggles being a nurse?
That's awesome (with the IV situation). I've been a MA for 6 years and am still not comfortable staying blood. When I have to do a second draw my confidence just drops. But in other news I'm retaking my math hesi tomorrow so I can apply for the fall session. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
When you said "found unresponsive" I heard dead and was like "well why'd they even bring him in??" Lol, this is why I'm not a nurse. So cool to see you progressing, love the video!
Good afternoon, your videos are very encouraging, for those of us who are still on our journey, or for those who are thinking about perusing nursing. I am going on my second year in nursing school ☺
I saw your channel couple of days ago and I like it so far got me thinking I want to go back to school for nursing plus I work at hospital for few year now.
Does anyone have any advice for a shy/introverted person who has a dream of being a nurse ? 😬 like I really want to pursue this field , but i kinda have social anxiety.
I say if this is really your dream then once you get to practice being a nurse ( school and those things ) and fall in love with it then you'll come out of your shell naturally. I'm still shy to this day but I know what I'm doing requires me to speak so I make sure I fall in love with what I'm doing.
Girl ur so funny!!! I remind me so much of my friend...so happy your doing well in the er. I will be transferring there soon...hope I do as well as you.
Hey gorgeous!!! Love the video Thankyou for all the work you do!! Currently I am struggling on my future, I am taking a CNA class this year at my highschool as a senior and after that I would love to go on to RN. That being said, Do you have any tips for someone who’s not good at math and who struggles in studying? I also feel like I have a lot of weight on my shoulder trying to get a job as a nurse but I’m scared to fail once and not try again out of embarrassment. Please let me know what you think, Thankyou 💖❤️💖❤️
LOVE IT ALL you are living my dream. One thing though just don't call 'em EMS "drivers" to their face cause I've made that mistake and they weren't happy 😬
Girllll! I just started in the ED a month ago and I am still very much in the fearful stage lol. It’s like I know I’m going to be a good nurse it’s just so much pressure and I’m scared of making a mistake. But then there are moments like a code situation or when a patient has a good outcome that you helped with where I’m like ok this is what I’m meant to do for sure. But it’s still scary AF lol
Katelyn hi do you have an associates or bachelors? I’m barely going to start nursing school in the fall but I want to go into the ed too. I was just wondering if they only hire BSNs
How do you ask for help or navigate through a stressful time when your mind goes blank without seeming dumb? I hate bothering people and I put so much pressure on myself to know everything but I do forget during stressful times.
I'm currently taking ged from previous things that happened in high school I've always wanted to become a RN but I don't know the process to become one with a ged education like what type of classes I would need to take or how could I get into a nursing program in college will they look at my test scores or something? can you please make a video about becoming a RN with a ged education
dajag50 I'm in Florida but I will be moving to Massachusetts and I've never been so confused in my life trying to search up everything and trying to figure everything out but thank you so much for commenting
I am in nursing school in Florida, and even within the state each school is different! Go to each schools website and look at the prerequisites required before applying for thier program, that will give you some guidance of what you need to do :)
zullymar rios After you get your GED go to college and talk to an academic advisor/counselor. Counselor will have you take the accuplacer test on reading and math, place you in the classes you need, and answer your questions. It’s kinda hard for someone to tell you what you need to do because each college has completely different requirements. Generally you spend 2 years and college, take the nursing school entrance exam and spend 2-4 years in nursing school. It’s a journey for sure.
Just going to throw this out there, stop calling Ems “drivers” it’s offensive. We are technicians or paramedics with trained skills not an Uber taxi driver.
Dessie Difranks I'm an ED tech and all I can say is to not be afraid to ask questions! Obviously don't be annoying but if there are nurses or doctors willing to teach you, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT! You'll learn soooo much more and it won't be so new when you get into school. Be a sponge. Don't be too scared, all of your tasks will be pretty basic and non-lifesaving besides CPR of course. Enjoy it :)
A nurse is a powerfull person anytype, even if it means, they have the phone number to call a judge, they often litterly have a "judge on call" they call them now and do there nurse shit, theres cops police state and local, private and national the put they have stuff to, most the time its get the fuck out here..like if they wanted to work at a prison or jail, they would applied for it and got money raise, but otherwise fuck off type stuff (in the past) alright imagine having a 12 year old that is having a asthma attack, a lady that wants a baby who is having a surpise miscarrigage (ad just about to find out) bleeding from the vagina, then a kid with cicle cell type stuff and mom, all in the middle of that there is prisoner or a police bloodtest with somebody screaming at the top of there lungs, cussing the world turning all three cells or ambulance bays, hospital hospitaltality in a haunted house creating anxiety medicares int he past... type stuff
organic chemistry is not a require prerequisite for nursing (at least not for any of the programs i looked into). I took organic chem, got a D but I'm in a nursing program now.
Great! It can be challenging and requires A LOT of reading, hard work, and dedication but I LOVE it! I used a lot of online sources to help me study (UA-cam and even things posted on pinterest) but the biggest challenge for me was trying to read every chapter and understand everything. I had to find the best study method for me depending on what was being taught (and I still dont think I have my study method all together yet) but I was able to manage and come out with As and Bs. My best advice would be to ALWAYS ask questioins, go to your professor for help or a tutor, use a RELIABLE outside source, and also ask your classmates about their study methods (some people also learn well in study groups but that wasn't always the case for me). Anyway sorry for the blabbing but I hope this helps and I wish you the best!

😂I love how she said who’s texting us. Making us feel like we’re there with her💞
I love how transparent you are! Letting us new nurses and soon to be nurses know what it really is like! Not everyone does that on their social media platform so thank you 💕
“Girl I sure did got it” 😂😂 I love when your down and more intimidate, it’s dope!
Jennyfer Loza lmaoo
The other day I was helping another nurse who got an ems patient and ems could not get an IV and I got it. Shit felt awesome
I'm a new graduate RN and watching your videos gives me so much hope and calms that nervous feeling I get every now and then. Thank you!
Deniece Pierre girl I start my first year in nursing school in September....I’m so nervous 😭😍
You'd be fine doll....just know that you'd have to sacrifice a lot of the free time you may have and dedicate it to your studies. Once you love what you do, no matter how tough it gets you'd always pull through.

I was an ER nurse for 10 years and stories like this stick with you all your life. You learn so much and soo quickly in the ER, you’ll be able to conquer anything in life. These vlogs are awesome because you’ll be able to look back on them and see how much you’ve grown. Props to you girl..😋 Just wait til you deliver a baby!! Stay in ER for a while and it’s bound to happen 😱
Rockstar Rochelle ten years?! You look so young like you just got out of nursing school yesterday. 😉
kyla neskahi 🤣Thanks! Believe it or not, I get that a lot. I’ve been an RN for 12 years now and loving it💕
Wow she just made a video about delivering a baby lol
"Oh you got it."
"GIRL I SURELY DID GOT IT!"😂🤣

NurseWeekly I think she already has it, she’s had it for six months I believe.
I think what they’re referring to is the CEN exam. She’s passed the NCLEX, who’s is what makes her a registered nurse, but there’s an optional Certified Emergency Nurse test she can take. A lot of units have some type of specialized cert they push for. I work on PICU, so they want our nurses to get their CCRN for critical care.

Hi Lexi! This was an amazing video, can you make one about all the different departments nurses can practice in? Thanks!!
girl so glad you got that iv,,,i am a hard stick and a chronic afib patient... plus ms and diabetes and arthritis... so i am in the er a lot.... go you... a good nurse makes allllll the difference
Love the ER updates !
YAS! Love the person you've become ! I plan on applying to the ED here !
I love your videos because you are honest and real! Keep doing that! You are going to go far.
This situation is when all that nursing school + on the job learning comes into play. Which it is scary. Glad you are doing so well! :)
Lexi I see myself in you!! Lol watching your videos gives me so much motivation. You are so real!!
The excitement you have for getting that IV is hilarious! I’d be jumping up and down.
I freaking love you. I start the nursing program in the fall & you make me feel less nervous about nursing. Love your videos!!!
It's crazy how much you learn on the job in such a short amount of time! I feel the same about the med/surg floor I'm on. I was terrified and slow at the beginning, and now I'm comfortable with pretty much anything!

I love your watching your videos it gives me so much motivation you truly inspiring to me, future nurses and current nurses at here
Would you ever become a nurse practitioner or a traveling nurse?
Btw love your videos❤️❤️❤️
When you said "found unresponsive" I heard dead and was like "well why'd they even bring him in??" Lol, this is why I'm not a nurse. So cool to see you progressing, love the video!
I know exactly what you mean about getting the hard iv sticks. Good job girl!
This makes me excited yet so nervous to become a nurse
I feel the same way when I get a patient who’s a “hard stick” in our ER! 😂😂 yessssssss
I love your ER videos! Please post more ♥️🤗
Good afternoon, your videos are very encouraging, for those of us who are still on our journey, or for those who are thinking about perusing nursing. I am going on my second year in nursing school ☺
watching your videos always motivates me to maybe go into nursing just to work in the ER!
Please keep doing these update videos!! I'm a nursing student and would love to go into the ER😍
8:10 agree!! Also some patients do little to nothing in caring for the illness they have! Not a nurse (yet) but from personal experience with ppl.
Do you get to wear your own scrubs like your own colors or do they provide you with them and you where that one everyday?
Love this! I can feel your strong womanly vibes flowing through the Wifi waves! Thanks for the update!
IV improvement - yay! Good for you! :)
I live in NC (north carolina) and the amount of people that come back and theres nothing wrong with them just to get pain killers is INSANE.
Do you plan on staying in the ER or going in a different area?
i love your channel! i was indecisive on what i wanted to do & i found your channel & knew nursing was it!!!!
alayna eason are you taking your prerequisites now?
Star Struckkk I just graduated high school so i’m starting at the end of this month
alayna eason awesome!! Good luck to you
I saw your channel couple of days ago and I like it so far
got me thinking I want to go back to school for nursing plus I work at hospital for few year now.
As a newly grad nurse I can so identify with you! SO TRUE!
"I surely did got it!" lmao!!!!
Good job with your IV. All your training paid off!
Does anyone have any advice for a shy/introverted person who has a dream of being a nurse ? 😬 like I really want to pursue this field , but i kinda have social anxiety.

I wonder the same!
You so popping!!!! Thanks for your amazing videos.

hey everyone! Who’s starting nursing school in the fall???
2 weeks in!
LOVE IT ALL you are living my dream. One thing though just don't call 'em EMS "drivers" to their face cause I've made that mistake and they weren't happy 😬
Are you still with your boyfriend?
Lol
I want her🤪🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

drop a hair tutorial sis !! 💙✨
I appreciate your channel girl
do you plan on going further (such as becoming a nurse practitioner?) also you're amazing aHHH
I want to work in the ED but I’m terrified!!!
I’m so close to graduating but I feel like I’m not ready to get out there yet ☹️😩
How do you ask for help or navigate through a stressful time when your mind goes blank without seeming dumb? I hate bothering people and I put so much pressure on myself to know everything but I do forget during stressful times.
If you went to college in one state would you be able to take the NCLEX in a different state?
Yes, it’s a national test. I was schooled in ny and took NCLEX in co. You don’t have to do anything special just pay that $$
I know the feeling! Thanks!
New sub here, and I love this page already 🤗🤗
I DONT LIKE THESE I LOVE THESE LOL 💙😘
Do you plan on getting an MSN? if so, in what area?

Hi are you still replacing coffee with Teami Tea?
I'm currently taking ged from previous things that happened in high school I've always wanted to become a RN but I don't know the process to become one with a ged education like what type of classes I would need to take or how could I get into a nursing program in college will they look at my test scores or something? can you please make a video about becoming a RN with a ged education
zullymar rios It depends on which state. But you could go to a community college or university. It might have a nursing entrance test.
dajag50 I'm in Florida but I will be moving to Massachusetts and I've never been so confused in my life trying to search up everything and trying to figure everything out but thank you so much for commenting

Just going to throw this out there, stop calling Ems “drivers” it’s offensive. We are technicians or paramedics with trained skills not an Uber taxi driver.
smilsen aguilar I’m sure she didn’t mean anything bad by it, but I WISH there were more EMS youtubers!!! You guys probably have the craziest stories
Relax. Sheesh.....
Lol am sure she didn’t mean it in any shaming form but yes we aren’t drivers lol we are “technicians” for short or “EMS personnel” . 🤗💜💛💜💛
I just got hired as a CNA in an ED, any advice???
Dessie Difranks I'm an ED tech and all I can say is to not be afraid to ask questions! Obviously don't be annoying but if there are nurses or doctors willing to teach you, TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT! You'll learn soooo much more and it won't be so new when you get into school. Be a sponge. Don't be too scared, all of your tasks will be pretty basic and non-lifesaving besides CPR of course. Enjoy it :)
A nurse is a powerfull person anytype, even if it means, they have the phone number to call a judge, they often litterly have a "judge on call" they call them now and do there nurse shit,
theres cops police state and local, private and national the put they have stuff to, most the time its
get the fuck out here..like if they wanted to work at a prison or jail, they would applied for it and got money raise, but otherwise fuck off type stuff (in the past)
alright imagine having a 12 year old that is having a asthma attack, a lady that wants a baby who is having a surpise miscarrigage (ad just about to find out) bleeding from the vagina, then a kid with cicle cell type stuff and mom, all in the middle of that there is prisoner or a police bloodtest with somebody screaming at the top of there lungs, cussing the world turning all three cells or ambulance bays, hospital hospitaltality in a haunted house creating anxiety medicares int he past... type stuff
Would i still be able to get into a nursing program if I got a D in organic chemistry? im going to retake it
Ella S if you retake it and receive a better grade you should be okay!
Thanks., Im pretty bummed
organic chemistry is not a require prerequisite for nursing (at least not for any of the programs i looked into). I took organic chem, got a D but I'm in a nursing program now.
Thanks. How is the nursing program going for you?
Great! It can be challenging and requires A LOT of reading, hard work, and dedication but I LOVE it! I used a lot of online sources to help me study (UA-cam and even things posted on pinterest) but the biggest challenge for me was trying to read every chapter and understand everything. I had to find the best study method for me depending on what was being taught (and I still dont think I have my study method all together yet) but I was able to manage and come out with As and Bs. My best advice would be to ALWAYS ask questioins, go to your professor for help or a tutor, use a RELIABLE outside source, and also ask your classmates about their study methods (some people also learn well in study groups but that wasn't always the case for me). Anyway sorry for the blabbing but I hope this helps and I wish you the best!
i love you.
Is the er hard to work at
First view and comment❤️❤️
😍😍😘😘😗😗
Ems drivers🤬 really they are called paramedics !
Drug overdose?
