a phrase i was taught by a specialist i saw was that “70% of your effort is more than enough” because 100% is overworking and leading to burnout. it saved me a lot of mental anguish when i realised i wasn’t working to my fullest, i was overextending myself in a way that wasn’t serving ME in the first place. i still journal this to myself every so often

​@@KiaraMadisen Same girl same! I am a nursing student in the Netherlands and I believe it's way less intense than in the US. However, people told me in the beginning I wouldn't be able to get through it. Well, here I am senior year and I might be able to graduate cum laude. Fingers crossed I get to be a pediatric nurse in the future!

My favorite is definitely “if it were easy, everybody would do it.” This quote has saved me so many times. It’s something i’m constantly reminding myself

"What if = fear; even if = faith" I like this quote because it always puts my worries into perspective and instead of spiraling into what if what if what if, I say 'even if x happens, I will be fine.' It has helped my anxiety levels soooo much when I get overwhelmed with school!

I am a RN two years out of nursing school. I just wanted to tell you that you are doing a great job! It is a rarity you walk out of sim lab feeling good, but take these as learning experiences. The point is if you make a mistake, it’s on a dummy instead of a real patient and you can learn. You’re doing great keep your head up!

My freshman year, my psychology professor said something that always has stuck with me. "The only limits you'll ever face are the ones you place on yourself" simple but very effective. I'm in OB right now and it hasn't been the easiest rotation, in fact its been my hardest rotation, but God has sustained me and I always go back to this quote!

I'm on clinical rotations for my final year of Occupational Therapy and I keep repeating to myself "you're on your path" to avoid comparing myself to others and for when I doubt myself, when something goes slightly wrong, etc jajaja So that's been my mantra this year

Studying law has been my dream since I was 14 years old. So, whenever I think I won't make it, I remind myself that I'm literally living my dream and just have to carry on and push through and everything will turn out okay.

Pediatric occupational therapist from Canada here 🇨🇦 A phrase that I was taught in my second year of OT school was “done is better than perfect” . It helped me ease up on the expectations that I had of myself.. the phrase still rings true to this day and I have been practising for two years now. Best wishes to you in your nursing journey!

This week has been my first tests of second semester of nursing and it was full on so intense. Crying and stressed and then I remembered that I’m in nursing school, I fought so hard to get here and my fight is not over even when it gets hard. My children are happy healthy and safe. And for that I can be so grateful

Loved this video! You've got such a friendly, warm manner and you're going to be an amazing nurse!

your video always give me motivation, Kiara!

you are the reason why im obsessed with ur vids YOU GO GURL!

I love this. Now I know what I'm looking forward to, which is nice. Keep them coming😍

I used to do standardized patient work as an actor and I loved it!

The frase that motivates my everyday while studying has been "Being strong and powerfull comes too when you know is the moment to stop".

It's amazing to see your videos and hear about what you learn in school, Kiara! This is a great advantage. You'll make an excellent nurse!😉

Love this! I just got to learn the injection skill last week and my whole clinical group was so excited! We've got this 😃

a quote/phrase I’ve started to apply to my career life to maintain perspective is “brick by brick”. it’s a saying I heard in Will Smith’s recent series on KZread “Best Shape of My Life”. and the way he explained it really inspired me to look at each day, each moment, each accomplishment just like that. brick by brick. focus on one brick at a time, and before you know it, you’ve built a whole house. but you focus alone on the brick in front of you. making it the best quality you can make it in the time you’re presently in.

Throughout my med school journey "Nothing worth having comes easy" always got me through the most difficult times. Love your videos!!! ❤️

When you were talking about the anxiety of surges of cases I really felt that. My towns hospital is full and it’s just so unnerving!

Love this, Kiara! Taken from the Steelers coach, Mike Tomlin, I love the phrase “make routine plays routinely”. Not every football game is won by a Hail Mary, but rather by careful, micro advancements up and down the field. It reminds me that before thinking about the big events, we need to focus on being good at the basics. It’s the seemingly little actions and habits that will add most significantly to our growth over time. Success comes from a million little routine plays that add up to something great! 💕

I’m so impressed with you and I haven’t been watching your videos for long. Keep up the good work! I’m working at a grocery store and I’m a checker. So, I get the working as a front line worker and your just in school doing the career you wanna do!! Yay!!! I don’t know what I wanna do and I’m 24, 25 in November… so I get stuck with those entry level jobs.

For everything, there is a first time. I say this to myself when I’m lacking confidence about starting a new project or a new task at work. This helps remind me that everyone was new at their job at one time and your first time doing something may not be the best or most accurate but you just have to remember to learn from it!

I watched you since before you got into college at the University of Oregon (my dream school). And I can’t believe I still watch you after all your years there. And now you are in nursing school!! That’s so amazing! I’m finishing college soon and I’m heading into nursing school too!! You are so inspiring, keep being you :)

Hi Kiara!! It's my first day back at school today which means my first day of in-person classes in over a year! My last in-person class was in March of 2020. I'm really excited and not really nervous at all, which is good, and I'm watching your videos to hype me up before I go!

I am a pre-nursing student and just submitted my application to nursing school. I can't wait to get started on my journey of becoming an RN.

So proud of you! Stay safe!💕

Thanks you too girl!

Hey girl just found your video! I’m in my first semester of nursing school!! When I first started the program there was a lot of self-doubt & comparison in me seeing some of my peers excel in areas where I felt weak. Now I like to remind myself, “You know more now, than what you did starting out.” It’s easy to forget how much we’ve all grown from day 1!!! Love your channel definitely subscribing! ✨💜🩺

You have always had a knack for making your busiest weeks look somehow organized and put together. Wish I could do that 🤣🤣. Anyways, it is really wholesome watching you do nursing things. In my country, nurses do not really have to go to college and then nursing school but it is really nice to see that this job that many probably do not appreciate enough takes so much effort and time. Teaches you to really be grateful for our medical personnel because you guys really give it your all!

My mottos, that I used during school and say to myself through my work life are: "small steps to a big goal" "not every day is a festival" (=when something doesn't go the way I want or I messed up, well that happens to everybody, that's normal) "experience makes a master"

I tell myself all the time "You got this!" I'll say it out loud when I'm on runs, before something I'm really nervous about, and definitely to hype myself up for something I'm trying for the first time. I also love the phrase Em Carey says frequently; "If you can, you must." It reminds me that every time I'm questioning what I'm capable of doing and if I should do a certain something even though I'm nervous, I should try it. You never know what could happen by going for the things that scare you! Love you Kiara! This is my first semester of nursing school and I love seeing your vlogs about life right now. Keep going!!

I'm starting nursing school next semester and am SO nervous (and also excited), but something I will start to live by that someone in the nursing program told me was that now that I'm in the program, I only need to pass. I don't have to worry about getting all A's because I will be getting paid the same amount of money as everyone else in the end. I just need to learn the material, but not get upset by a bad test grade here and there, and that has helped me not feel so anxious going into the program.

I hope you have a great first week in the fall semester 💕💕💕💕💕💕

I love this...and you obvi🤗 I loved learning how to use a feeding pump and injecting insulin. I got so scared the first time and now it's no big deal anymore. I know it's not the "real deal" in a sim lab, trust we do this as well, but try to get as much out of it as you can. It's a protected space for you to learn and make mistakes. I love how much heart and attention to detail they always put in. Anyways there are so many heart sayings but I probably always come back to a very simple one "PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION!" Helps me everytime with my over the top perfectionism and standards so high no one could ever reach them. In work but also in general life. ❤☀️

Aww girl I hate that feeling...good for you for relaxing...it's such a stressful time. I think my best advice if you're worried about being late is to have a few plans in place to safegaurd yourself and prevent you from cutting it close. For me, I like to wake up super super early and set a seperate alarm every 5-15 min so I must wake up. I also pack stuff I need the night before if I know I will cut it close. My friend used to even track people and knew if they wasn't on the road at a certain time to check in. Whatever works for you, get creative & make it happen. And then don't stress if it happens once or twice... we are all human and sometimes stuff outside our control happens!
