I cried when you told how much the loss of the baby affected you in the locker room, I can imagine what you went through... that baby and mother were lucky to have such a fantastic nurse...

I love this video so much. This is the raw footage of what it’s like being a nurse. Not a lot of people share this info, they only share the best and most perfect parts of a nurse. And i just loved how honest and genuine you were 🫶🏼

Im a med surg nurse in Nebraska and I started around the same time as you. It really hit home seeing you talk about the infant loss you witnessed. My VERY first day of orientation, one of my patients died-- turned out that patient was my (then) fiancé's family friend. I was honestly devastated for literal weeks. Every time I closed my eyes I could see his face, and I had dreams about him. Just know that you're not alone, and it does get better!

I am so very sorry you have to be a witness to those heartbreaking moments. I am so thankful that there are people like you doing this work because your heart has so much love to give. You are so selfless & I have so much respect for you. God has such an incredible plan for you I can feel it. Also on a side note, you said "do people even like hearing me talk?" ABSOLUTELY!!!! I am going into nursing this fall so I love hearing your perspective and tips and encouragement. Every nurse I talk to has tried to convince me out of it but you are so encouraging and supportive & it makes me feel so empowered. You are such a light. I am going to pray for you girly!!! God bless you richly 🤍🤍🫶🏻

Madi, I can empathize with you a lot. I'm in Women's/Newborn's Services as a RN too and it is totally not playing with babies all day. It is alot at times. And you can feel very spread thin. Nursing is hard.

Omg Madi, when I got to the part where you asked if we thought you were boring or if we like to hear you talk, I got so sad! It is literally the best part of my day when I see that you've uploaded a new video. You're my favorite KZreadr and I always love videos where you talk. I'd absolutely LOVE a podcast from you as well. You could make podcast episodes all about being a newer nurse or nursing school tips!!

Please do a podcast! I’ve watched you for so long now and you are such an inspiration

Thank you for being authentic and real, that’s something that’s hard to find these days. I am so sorry about the loss of that baby, I can’t imagine how hard that must’ve been. But it sounds like you have a great support system at work! My unit is like that as well, I’ve met some of my best friends working on it. Madi, you are an amazing nurse and your hospital is lucky to have you!!💗🫶🏼

I love your sit down and talk videos Madi! As a new RN as well it is nice to hear someone else touch on the subjects you do in your videos because I haven’t heard many RN’s discussing struggles that new RN’s and RN’s in general have or how hard it can be transitioning to a RN from nursing school to getting an actual job as a RN. Your videos make me feel understood and like I am not alone because I feel many of the same feeling you are as well!❤ I would also definitely listen to your podcast if you make one!

I’m a NICU nurse in a level 3 unit. I just wanna say, the MDs and NNPs I work with are amazing. yes there are some that are a little more intimidating to speak to. BUT they are very respectful and open to the RNs questions and opinions. so please know and be encouraged that not all MDs/NNPs are like the ones that you are interacting with! i’m so sorry that’s been your experience 😢

“so be confident in this, HE who began a good work in you will continue that work until the day of its completion💜”

i am so proud of you !! been here since the beginning and it has been amazing to see your journey. you have handled everything with grace and love. Good things heading your way !! Love you ❤

hi madi! we LOVE hearing you talk. you are such a joy in everyone’s life and it’s so inspiring hearing your story and watching you grow in your career and life. i think a podcast is an amazing idea! i would definitely listen to it ❤ you’re amazing.

I just got accepted into Nursing school last week. Thank you for sharing the fun, the beauty of nursing as well as the tough times. It’s amazing to see your growth, sending you so much love through these transitions!

Congrats !

I’m doing my pre-nurse classes and as somebody that almost passed away because of a doctor's negligence, I will do my best as a nurse every second. Personal opinion, but I feel nurses are more on hands and caring than some doctors that are just there for a few seconds. It is difficult to this day how the doctor never recognize it was his fault. I had a new nurse during the process and I can thank her enough for how dedicated and lovely she was. We need more healthcare personnel like that. ❤

Madi!! I missed you! I know it’s hard to see the positive through hardships but you always have us in your corner! I haven’t missed 1 video of yours since the beginning ❤️ you are so so amazing and I’m proud of you! Yes to the podcast and yes to more week in my life’s/lifestyle and health videos! Also would love to hear how you get through your depression and rough mental health days, I’ve been struggling lately and would love recommendations on how to overcome those feelings! Love love you 🥰

I loved your videos all these years. I also enjoy when you do a vlog about bringing us along your day and when your sister is in the video too

Hi Madi! I love your videos so much, I am currently in nursing school and have been watching you since you started and I knew I wanted to go into nursing. your videos have encouraged me to keep going and not to give up. You are such a bright light and I know you help so many others too! 💖

Hi my love! Thank you for sharing so much of your life with us for the past few years. I don’t know where I would be without your kind words and amazing vlogs to look forward to. I was at a very low point in my life when I first found your channel, and I can proudly say I’m starting nursing school this fall! I truly would not be here without you and am so grateful for you :) I love you so much Madi, I’m excited to hear more about your future and am always here cheering you on ❤

I just had the hardest shift in a while and this is exactly what I needed to watch, it’s really reassuring that I’m not the only one feeling your exact thoughts ❤ I love these updates

Madi for some reason I don’t get immediate updates when you post new videos I used to don’t know I don’t anymore. I have to tell you it always inspires me when you post as you know I’m not in the medical field and I am physically disabled. But your channel is one of the few that I subscribe to and I always try to post because I think your videos are very meaningful because your warmth and your compassion really come through and as someone who is substantially older than you I went through a period of time where nurses were not as good as they are now nor was medical care.. My personal opinion the best part of your videos it’s just you your warmth and compassion just really come through always even when you’re struggling. You are physically beautiful as well as have a genuine warm kind heart and that’s the most important thing. Don’t get rattled by anybody just be you. Also belated happy birthday. I sent you an E gift card to your business email account because I couldn’t get Physical one to PO Box to you. I hope you received it and enjoy it. Also it’s worth stating that I found your channel at the beginning of Covid and I found it so inspirational and helped me get through hard days so just don’t fix what isn’t broken, you can always add more and change but your subscribers just love you being you. Just my opinion you rock. Enjoy the Drake concert I have a friend that lives in Ohio I wish I could meet you one of these days I know you love Labor and delivery, but if I was younger I wish you would’ve dealt with children. Because I see how you are with Xander and I know you would be amazing with pediatrics also hope you had an excellent vacation please keep posting videos and keep being Madi 🙂😇❤. Remember what it says on the piece of paper next to your desk you are loved. I’m not terribly religious but you always make me feel better about being me and life’s Daily challenges. :-)

Yes I would love a podcast! I think I enjoy the talking over music on clips and I love hearing your nursing stories it really helps as I am going to be a nurse here in a few weeks!

You are Amazing Madi, I have watched you since pre-nursing, i did my ADN, graduated last december, passed my Nclex this January, had my twin girls same month I passed nclex, they were born @33 weeks, I admire all the L&D and NICU RN’s you are amazing and blessed hands. Hopefully I will start my new job soon! Congratulations in finishing one year in nursing❤️❤️

So glad you go over MH! I have that and I’m so glad it’s more known about now.

i personally love love love the talk through videos,like i would absoultely love explanations etc of like what you're doing,how your day is going at work etc etc obvs as and when you can! i just followed on IG too!🥰 i would also love a podcast with you and your sister! i don't usually like listening to people talk but i love your chit chat videos,they're my comfort content!🥹🫶🏻💗

Thanks for being so open and honest about your journey. I know youre a great Nurse so give yourself some grace and just be confident.

Honestly I love all of your day in the lives, week in the lives while working, and your chatty videos they are all so motivational! Also totally interested in the podcast!!

Your videos are so good! I love your video updates on your nursing! I’m a paeds nursing student and I have watched you for years! Keeps me motivated! Your amazing x

I love your videos!! I also love when you do sit downs and catch us up on things. I’ve been watching your journey for quite sometime.

I really appreciate your videos 🤍 I see so much of myself in you and so encouraged by your story. I’m currently a young mama going back to school for nursing after working as a doula for the past few years. Your videos really inspire me to not let my anxiety and depression stop me from pursing my passion of becoming a nurse. Know that your videos matter for many of us and can make an impact on people in ways that you’ll never even know 🤍

I loveeeee all of your videos! We just love you.!! Thank you for sharing your heart with us!! You are such an amazing nurse!!! 💜💜

Thank you for sharing your struggle. I work straight nights (by choice- I could rotate) but it’s been super hard for me. I sleep a lot and always feel very unmotivated! The gym has helped me alot and also reading. Helps me feel accomplished. I hope you feel better and as always sending love your way!

I met Madi at Target and she really is as sweet as she seems in her videos! 💕✨🫶🏻

Madi I love you soo much! I've been watching you since 2018. Every Sunday I watch your videos while I fold laundry. If you don't post something new, I re watch old ones. I prefer you taking during the videos instead of music. You are my comfort KZreadr and motivate me to work hard in school each week. I am going to Uni in September for child and youth studies. I hope to go to nursing or medical school after I get my BA. Thank you for being so open, you are amazing and the opposite of annoying. Also, yes you should do a podcast with Ali. 💕💕💕

i just love how real you are and honest. everyone elses videos they make everything seem picture perfect when in reality nothing is. Can you do a video on the job search, what to look for in new grad positions? I love your videos and you got this!!

Hi Madi! I remember watching your videos before I even started nursing school, and I'm graduating this coming May! I love watching you grow and accomplish things, but I also like that you share your struggles with us. Life is not all rainbows and butterflies, and you're just getting stronger. I'm so proud of you! Sending you all my love

I love love love this type of video! It made me feel better because I’ve been feeling the exact way for the same reasons! I felt so understood 😭

I loved this!!!! you are amazing and so strong. u got this girl!!!

Hi Madi! I am so glad you are coming back to KZread more often. I love watching your videos. Thank you for opening up! I couldnt help but think when watching this that I need a nurse friend to just have these moments where we open up and talk about just how hard our jobs are. Every day is fulfilling but some days are hard and make you just sick to your stomach and anxious. I am so proud of you for pushing through the hard days!! You are an amazing nurse! I am going back for my BSN in a couple of weeks so I hope you post videos of you in school again!

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do! I just had my third baby in Feb, and I can only imagine how difficult and scary your job can be. I had a really wonderful experience with all the nurses and staff and I’m sure all of your patients feel the same about you! 🥰

Hey Madi!! So happy you posted! Sorry to hear about the tough times you've been through, just know you are doing amazing and you got this!! I honestly love anything you post, would love to see more chit chat videos as well as day in the life vlogs. And a podcast with your twin would be everything!! 🤍🤍

Hi Madi! Just wanted to say how much I look up to you and your videos keep me going as I’m currently in my second year at nursing school! I had a baby 5 weeks ago as well and I can honestly say that all the mothers and babies would be so lucky to have you as their nurse because I know I would have! You’re the reason I got into nursing and found something I love so much and I hope that things get better for you soon. We all have tough days but please remember you are so loved from your family here on KZread and we can’t wait to see you come back on the regular soon! ❤❤ sending all my love to you and your family xxx

Hi madi! Loved this video. I am a nurse too and seeing relatable content is my favorite. I love your vlogs during work stretches, day off vlogs, food videos, would love a podcast! Honestly just love the real life content :) . Being a nurse is hard but we got this. Sending love!

So happy to see you back! I’m not a nurse, but I absolutely LOVE your videos and your sweet and upbeat personality. I was an Accounting major and am pursuing the CPA license exam but I always loved watching your videos, especially your studying ones because it helped motivate me!

Hey Madi!!! I just want to first thank you for being so honest about some of the struggles that you’ve endured, because it definitely helps other knowing they aren’t alone. I’m applied for my nursing sequence this Fall, and should know if I get in this June!!!! I’ve truly enjoyed watching all your videos and can’t wait to see what others you make!!!

I’m not a nurse, but a social worker at a children’s ER. Your channel is so inspiring to me. I would love a podcast or just continuing yt videos.

Hey Madi!! I wanted to say that I love your videos, and I appreciate the way you speak openly about your journey and faith 🫶🏻 I just got into nursing school this week, and I was so happy to see a new video from you. Also, I would love to listen/see a podcast with you and your sister. I hope that you are doing well!🤍

So much love to you! You are an amazing nurse and hope to be half of the nurse you are in a few years.

Cooking, vlogs, what’s in my bag, planner setup. 😁 love your videos.. stay strong 💪

I love your sit down talk videos! I’m going through it right now. New grad in a ED… it’s rough. I’m working through bullying, lack of support from management, and transition to nights…. On top of the new grad transition 😅 this video/sit down talk videos make me feel less alone ❤️

I don’t have any questions but I just wanna say I appreciate you and love your videos! You are a inspiration and I look up to you! You are a amazing nurse 🤍😊 God bless you

So happy you posted! I missed your videos! You are one of my inspirations as a student nurse :)

madi you are so amazing & inspiring!! so proud to continually see you grow on your nursing journey. i hope you know your feelings are so valid!! burn out is the worst & the only way to get through it is doing things for yourself, even if it’s something small. everyone’s self care looks different, & don’t compare it to others on social media; odds are, they’re probably going through the same thing, i promise you they’re not perfect! i have also been on the funk of just working & sleeping. and i totally understand your feeling for your patient 🥺 it’s a special type of bond. know that i am here for you if you need anything & i love you 🤍 just a call away!

Thank you so much for sharing

Hi Maddi, I still remember watching your videos when you first started your nursing journey. I am so proud of you and how far you have come! Congrats on completing your first year as a nurse 🤍 Although, you’ve had a rough patch this year I am confident that God is steering you in the right direction and preparing you for what’s yet to come. You’re doing great and sometimes you just have to appreciate the good and bad days and what it took to get here. I watch all of your videos from beginning to end. I love your talk through videos, and would love to see a morning routine, or budgeting as a first time nurse. Take care xoxo

Hey madi been watching since the beginning u are such an inspiration to me ur organization skills and personality soon to be going to my fourth yr of getting into my Bachelor's degree video ideas (what I wish I knew in nursing school , how to deal with bullying,what's in my nursing bag , what I eat through night shift )

First of all congratulations to you on all of your accomplishments! You have worked hard for every bit of it. Congratulations to your sister as well! Love love love your videos! The voice overs are nice and so are your vlogs. I enjoy hearing you talk and tell your story. You are in no way boring. I admire your work ethic. Keep going! Keep achieving and I will pray that you find your peace and confidence. Never compare yourself you are uniquely and wonderfully made! Yes to the podcasts! I am about to graduate as a business major getting ready to start my MBA in the fall. We are in different fields but you are just as much as an example to watch and follow. I truly enjoy your channel and anything you want to try we are with you. Day in the life, q&a’s, girl talks, story times, nurse vlogs, clean with me, moving series, I’m sure others would love to see it as I would!

I wish I could reach through the screen and give you the biggest hug 💗 You are doing such an amazing job loving on these mamas in such a vulnerable and tough time and I am so proud of you! Please never lose that passion and empathy. Take time for yourself when you feel the burnout feeling being a nurse. Lean on the Father for His strength during that time and know that you are such a blessing to those mamas! I will never forget my first patient I lost and the grief that came with it afterwards. Be patient and kind to yourself. You are doing beautifully! Praying for and with you! 🤍

OR nurse here! I just watched this on my way to work and it really hit me how you said that you need to remind yourself how blessed you are when you go into work sometimes. I’m going through a lot in my personal life right now, and honestly was dreading going in my entire drive, but that really put it into perspective for me. I am going to a job that I love with coworkers that are amazing and patients that need me. Thank you for the reminder and for a great video, it was lovely catching up with you!

I love watching your talking videos!! Yes to the podcast!! I am graduating in two weeks and I just accepted a job in L&D on nights! I watch all of your videos and I love watching your journey!

Sending good vibes your way to get back into the program

Yes on the podcast! Love these sit down talk vids, btw. Love the input your mom gave you! You’ve got this, I know it’s incredibly hard at times. We can do ALL things through Christ who gives us strength 💕

I luv your Spirit i feel so much positivity energy from your video❤

Madi. You’re NEVER boring lol, I get so excited when you post. Your voice is so therapeutic. Is your sister also an RN? A podcast will be so cool!!! Definitely start!!! Be confident, you have a whole village behind you cheering you on ❤

I’m in nursing school now and I’d love an updated study tip video now that you’ve gone through and graduated school! Things that worked/didn’t work for you, etc :)

Hi Madi! I have been watching your videos for years now and I love how real you are in all of them! I truly believe god chooses people to be nurses and I am sure you are meant to be exactly were you are right now. Sending you so much love and I have one year left of nursing school so thank you for being such an inspiration 🫶🏼

I love all your videos so much! I even go back and watch old videos! You truly inspire me :))) I think a podcast would be so amazing!!!

Love your catch up videos and hearing you talk and I’d love a podcast! 💖

Hi Madi! 😊 I am going into my final year of nursing school and I really look forward to your new videos!! People watch and love your videos. Thank you for posting! 🫶🏽

Hi!! I’m also a newish grad labor and delivery nurse who graduated from OU. I currently live in Pittsburgh but originally from the Cleveland area and understand 1000% your feelings on all of this. I recently had a preterm delivery that ended in an IUFD. I have been in such a funk since then!! I just wanted to reach out and let you know that you’re not alone and from one labor and delivery nurse to another I am proud of you and you’ve got this!!

I am currently in nursing school, and watching your videos always inspire me to keep going and reminds me why i'm in it 💜

SOME THINGS TO THINK OF WHEN YOUR HAVING A BAD DAY 🌺 This too shall pass, there's millions of nurses going through the same thing, trust your team, trust your intuition, keep your faith, it's not your fault, your doing your best,

I love how transparent you are!! I had NO idea that you were in Ohio. I am as well! Literally just got my ATT# today and hoping to schedule + pass my NCLEX. I love how transparent you have been with this entire journey and just want to tell you that you absolutely DO HAVE TO give yourself credit! You are an amazing nurse and I sincerely wish you the absolute best!

I really like your videos and I have missed you :) Everybody has struggles when it comes to a new job , or new experience. After taking a long break I am going back to school in the fall to become a RN (hopefully). I enjoy your videos because you have been very open about your experience with what your going through The confidence will come with more expience continue to do what you love and be yourself.

Missed you Madi!! 🫶🥺💓💓 Congrats on the Level II!! And all you can do is just take it one day at a time 💪🏽 You are doing amazing!! 💫 thank you for sharing!! Feel like the new generation of med students, nurses etc, will shift some of these old school ways and the disrespect, etc. xoxo

Hi Madi. I’m graduating in 2 weeks and am moving to Cleveland from NY to start in the NICU and I am soooo scared. Moving to a whole new state is a big task in itself and then the idea that I am going to taking of the tiniest little babes and I learned next to nothing about it in school 😬😬😬. I’ve been watching you all throughout nursing school and you have been such an inspiration and I am sure you are an amazing nurse and will become and amazing teacher!!!

yessss please do a podcast i’ve been hoping for this day🎉

You inspire me so much! I take the TEAS in July and then I will be going to nursing school next year. Thank you for sharing your journey!

I am a nurse as well my friend gave me the best advice and I went part time I pick up an extra day when I feel like it and when I need a break I only do 2 days so that might help as well!!!

Yes to the podcast!!!!🥹

I’ve watched so many people on KZread go through nursing school and start off night shift and say the exact things you are. Night shift sucks the lives outta people! I lost my baby when she was a week old from a heart defect, we had no idea she had it until 2 days after she was born. It was hard to go thru, but I’m ok now (this happened in 2012). I know it’s hard to understand why things like that happen, but that’s part of that person’s journey. I’ve learned a lot about life after my daughter’s passing. It’s so hard on parents at first, but it gets better over time. I hope things look up for you! I’m in nursing school now and I’m dreading night shift 😫 Hang in there!! ❤

Your videos bring me so much joy hope you can upload more

I have loved watching your journey and this was so special to hear your perspective! I would love to see daily vlogs, ask me anything get ready with me, travel vlogs, you and your sister asking each other questions! Also always love your cleaning vlogs

What you said about doctors and such is so true! I’ve heard about times when people told my mamaw that she wasn’t a nurse because she is an LPN. It broke my heart because it hurts my mamaw so bad. But I understand that as well, I used to be a CNA at my local nursing home and the RN’s were so rude to me. I asked my assigned RN to help me with something I have to do and she literally told me that she went to nursing school for a reason and that it was my job now. Luckily, an LPN who had finished one of her jobs came and helped me, but still. I had not been working for very long when that happened and it bothered me a bit. 😊

Missed you Madison love you💖you are a fantastic nurse

Talk in all your videos, I enjoy listening to your calming voice 😊

I love your videos so so much! I am currently majoring in biological sciences but your videos motivate me even with having a different major . You are so so sweet and genuine literally the kindest person I have ever ever seen on KZread/ Social Media. And we are both Aries I love it!! 🌸❤️

Keep talking you're not boring at all inspirational u are ❤

Maddie. I haven't been around in so long! You're a grown up nurse now 🥹

I literally have 3 videos to catch up on and I freakn love it ❤

I feel you on the being night shift and sleeping all the time. I try so hard to have a life but I’m literally drained all the time 😭 there has to be a cheat code to this.

I’m so proud of you ❤

Omg??/ I turned 24 on April 10th-- happy super belated birthday madi! I just completed my second semester of nursing school and I'll be starting my third sem in a few weeks and I just want to say I've always enjoyed being a silent viewer and just seeing how much you enjoyed life while persevering through nursing school. I'm so proud of everything you've accomplished and while I can't understand your feelings just yet because I haven't gotten to the RN position yet, I think all of your feelings are very valid. For me, your personality has always been super inspiring and I really hope you get more time to enjoy things outside of work and sleep!
