There is ALWAYS something you can be working on 🥴

As someone who has graduated from nursing school, I found carrying around a little pocket book and writing down medications, procedures and anything else I didn’t understand was incredibly helpful. It’s come in handy now as a RN.

I take nursing school one day at a time . I am a mother of 2 kids and I have learned the hard way that if I start to focus on everything at once my anxiety kicks in at 1000% and my mental health goes out the window . I have 8 months to go for my BSN and this has been one of the hardest things to accomplish but keeping positive thoughts and asking god to help me has gotten me to this very point .

Loveee getting new school supplies it’s the best feeling 😂 especially in nursing school you need all the motivation you can get!

It may sound weird but I stock up on candles before school. I do a quick clean and light a candle before I study so I can be completely relaxed and motivated - definitely worth a try.

A favourite way I like to ask about urination and defecating are: “How are the water works?” “What about back passage/number 2’s?” Mind you this is in Australia and sometimes depending on patient I will actually say “how’s your poo? Any changes etc” if you say it with confidence people will generally accept it with confidence too

Hi Kiara! I quite enjoyed this vlog! So chill yet exciting cause starting a new semester always is (not so much when it’s time to study haha) anyway, I have those pastel markers from last year and they are so good. Much cheaper than other well known brands and do the job! Hope you enjoy all the school supplies you got 😊😊

Think of it this way with the expensive pens you like: you need something reliable because one of the worst things is to be taking notes in a fast paced class only to have your pen fail. And if you don't have to think about your pen while using is, that's less stress. Because when you're stressed, even a pen being glitchy can tip you over into overstressed. It's an investment. Yes, I'm good at rationalizing stationary, office, and school supplies purchases because I love it 😅 Are you finding it easier to get organized now that you have a full desk to use again? Or does that not make a difference to you? And my favorite assignment was research papers. I always ended up learning something interesting that I wasn't even looking for and I got ideas for other paper topics that way sometimes. I just loved the whole research process and weeding out the not so great articles in the process.

A dying pen had me crying one day trying to take notes for an upcoming exam 😂 I had to walk away on that one.

I can totally relate to feeling behind when your actually ahead. I am a perfectionist when it comes to college because it is too expensive for me to be wasting my time. I want to absorb everything related to Nursing or health that I learn.

Good luck with the new term Kiara! I'm sure you'll do great 💕 I'm going to med school in October and I'm a mix of stressed and excited. Watching your videos always brings a smile to my face and I rewatch your videos to motivate myself to study during the school year 💖

I’m starting my 3rd year of anatomy in 3 weeks and I’m freaking out, just hit me how quick it’s came. (For perspective, 3rd and 4th year grades for my university count towards my degree😬)

Definitely do drug cards with your index cards you bought! that way they're small enough to fit in your pocket at clinical, easy to jot notes down, etc. another tip with drugs, when trying to think of what side effects go with what drug (because there's so many and you'll never know it all!), think of the route of administration. for example, if it's a PO drug, it's gonna pass through the digestion system and so a side effect would more than likely be upset stomach. hope this helps! with love, from a new RN 🤗🤍✨
