Thank you for keeping things so honest and real. I feel like most nurse-tubers show the good and how they spend their off time instead of talking about real-life situations and how shifts can beat you down. Obviously you don't want to talk about only the bad either, but life is a balance in every aspect. You are doing your best and that's what matters. Sending love and light your way!

Thank you Angela! Sending love & light right back at you

We appreciate you as a nurse we need nurses without nurses the world would fail 🙏🏼🫶🏽💕💕💕

I'm an RVN and I always work 7, 13-hour night shifts in a row. I have a 7 on, 14 off schedule. It was nice to see someone else do it and realize it's very hard to do. I work over 90 hours in that week. Its easy to forget that cause it's only 7 days. It's very tiring and make sure you take adequate rest before doing it again. My 14 nights off are definitely needed!

@@SierraLyn Thanks! I think the hardest part is not having any time off between shifts. All I do is work and sleep in those days. But I make up for it in my time off 🥰

The clip after talking about your difficult shift straight into the clip of packing your stuff for the next shift was really powerful and shows just why nursing is so difficult and draining

I really appreciate that you vlogged your most vulnerable moment on your drive home. I felt this last week- I work in peds and CRIED all my way home. I see you 💕 sending you all my love! This is truly a hard job but also very rewarding 🥹 you’re doing amazing

omg so cute, the fact that your fur baby stayed on your bed all night because it wasnt too hot LOL. I'd say the bed sheets are a win :)

We appreciate you as a nurse 💕

Sooo happy you’re back!!:) gonna watch now!

Enjoy your mini vacay! Well deserved!

Thank you for being a nurse I appreciate all nurses 🙏

Missed your uploads! Glad to see you back on here.

Thank for sharing. Well deserved camping vacation. It looked beautiful out there. Enjoy

I love how positive and upbeat you are! Please know what you do is so important and appreciated! ❤

I loved this video. So raw. Nursing is very hard but I like what you said although it’s hard for you imagine how hard it’s for the patient.

You go girl! I hardly do my 3 in a row because it’s so hard on me, I couldn’t imagine 7!

It’ll get better keep your head up 🙏🏼

You are amazing and wonderful❤️your patients are very lucky to have an awesome nurse with such a kind heart❤️

Your such a lovely human ❤ it looked beautiful where you went camping 🏕 your videos always make me smile especially camper 🐕 keep being amazing

I love how nice and stocked your fridge is! I had to go back and pause the video like what that's so cool with all the drinks 😊

Missed your videos! I love watching the perspective of a new grad, I will be one soon so it helps to have an honest person giving their perspective.

I’ve missed you, welcome back 😭

Seven 12’s is insane! Look at you go. Take care of yourself too❤

I love your videos so much. You can tell how much of a great nurse you are and you always spread positivity that I am sure is so rewarding to be around especially as hard as this job is. Thank you for spreading your kindness and compassion 💓

It's nice to see the raw moment you shared as hard as it was to watch. People who don't work in healthcare never understand this. It's absolutely devastating and what's even harder is we have to get up and do it all again day after day. It's a massive privilege but also traumatic. We do become desensitised to it as we have to to cope but moments like this are important to reflect on to remind us of why we became nurses xx

I love your videos!! you're so honest that made me so drawn with your channel. I can relate with the night shift struggle. I work as a Clinical lab scientist in the hospital been on night shifts for 3 months now but I've only been doing 8 hrs and I don't feel like a have an actual life besides work with that schedule seeing your vuideos got me having an idea of doing 10 or 12 hours shifts now so I could have a somehow a week off I just wanna have a work life balance. Your videos just makes me happy!! I hope you continue making more night shift videos :)

Thank you for sharing! So inspirational. I can definitely appreciate how hard these shifts are😣😣 I’m a GI fellow and in fellowship and residency have had to work 7 nights in a row and go straight back to 13 hour days with sometimes not even one day off in between :((

Holy moly that’s so wild and amazing you can do that. I’ve been in medical telemetry for a few weeks and I already don’t like it the craziness of being pulled in every direction non stop, I can’t imagine the ER

You are a great nurse! Just you showing you truly care about your patients ❤ Just show how great of a human you are. I wish my mom had you as a nurse. Her ER nurses could care less that she was dying. We never imagine we get such a diagnosis that day. It was devastating experience. Still hurts me the way they treated her. Now she is a better place, where there is no pain ❤

You have a great voice for narration and podcast ❤

That’s amazing, four knocks me out! But the overtime, bonus incentive, and holiday pay probably made it worth it!!!!! 🎉

I’m so not ready for what’s to come but it’s what I want to do I just hope I stay focused and keep a positive mindset

Jesus I barely can with my schedule! You did amazing

This was a raw and beautiful video. Thank you for showing us your life. ♥️

I could never work that many shifts in a row. I work in adult medsurg right now (just hit my one-year mark as a nurse) and I do not like it all that much, so that is probably why the thought of working more than 3-4 days in a row sounds terrible, lol. I want to move on to the ER soon.

I'm currently getting my prerequisites done at a community college to apply to a nursing program. Did you get your ADN OR BSN? I'm hearing conflicting comments on those degrees. Some say to go straight for the BNS. My plan was to get my ADN to become a nurse and continue my education, and receive my BSN.

I went to community college and got my ADN first. A year later I did an online RN-BSN program and got my BSN. I would say it depends if you want the full college experience and are no rush in getting your degree go for the BSN. If you don’t care so much about the college experience and want to start working as a nurse sooner go for your ADN. I wanted to start working as a nurse faster so I went with my ADN and got nursing experience while getting my BSN at the same time. I would just recommend getting your BSN sooner than later if it’s something that you want to do.

@SierraLyn

ADN! You can begin working as a registered nurse sooner & then get your BSN online while you're working. A lot of hospitals offer tuition reimbursement too! That has just been the better path for me!
