Me too! I used up all of my toner in a month! 😂 Thank you so much! ♥️

Hey! So I got this hands free neck device that has a magnet on it that I put my phone on! It’s on Amazon! ☺️ Thank you for watching!

Aww thank you so much Nicki! 🥹💕☺️

It really was, I was surprised by the combination of the lavender with the matcha taste! 🤗

Thank you so much for watching! 🥰💕

🥹🥹🥹 Oh my gosh, thank you for your kind and thoughtful encouragement! This was definitely a vulnerable video for me but I knew it was needed for others like you to feel safe in wanting something different and outside of bedside nursing. God has a plan for us all and those early nursing years were meant to help build me but now that my life has changed into marriage and kids one day, God opened another door for me to walk through once he felt I was ready. 🙏🏽💕 Thank you so much for watching my video, it means the world! Building a community of nurses is so important to me, and you are never alone regardless of how you may feel in those dark times. There is no amount of darkness that God isn’t able to find light in. 🥰🤗 I pray that you’re able to find the right fit for an outpatient opportunity! 🫶🏽

Hey! I infuse immunosuppressant IV infusions to patients with lupus, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. ☺️ Take a look at my channel, I show a lot of day in my life vlogs of myself at work! I hope you enjoy them!

Heyy! Thanks for watching!🥰 Are you asking if you have to go back to school for infusion nursing? If so, then nope! ☺️

@@iamnursechelsea Yes thanks, because I was misinformed that I'll have to go back to school for 6 mths to be an infusion nurse

Of course! And nope, you may have to get some IV skills experience but that is the main part. Most roles will train you on the job as well. ☺️

Thank you for subscribing babe! 💕 Yes Leviticus was an intense read for me but I purposely started from the beginning in the Old Testament to see how things started. 🤗

Thank you so much babe! 🥹🤭💕

Girl yes! That is nasty not to! We go through those wipes because we have a lot of patients in a day, but yea I don’t play about cleanliness! 🧼😂

@@iamnursechelsea exactly

Thank you so much Tracy! You are so kind! I appreciate you always tuning in and commenting! 💕🤗

Thank you!!🥹 I’ve been changing up my editing and camera angles! 💕

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much!🫶🏽🥹 Welcome, I appreciate you subscribing! 💕 Yes, anywhere in Atlanta is a challenge to park 😅 thanks, I love a good target find!

Definitely do it! Even if you just window shop for inspiration, it’s an instant mood booster! ☺️ Thank you for watching too!

Aww thank you so much for watching babe! I’m happy you enjoyed my content! 💕🤭🥹

Hey! Great question, we do get 401k benefits matching! But if you are speaking more of a pension, then no. I don’t know of many companies that still have pensions, especially in the healthcare area. I hope that helps! 😊

Heyy girl! 🤗 Yes! That upload is coming today at 4PM! Make sure you tune in! Let me know if you like it too or have additional questions! Thank you so much for watching 💕

@@iamnursechelsea Yay! Thank you so much! Looking forward to it!

Hey girlie! The video you requested has been uploaded! Its called "Prepare for your DREAM nursing job: Infusion Nurse Perspective". Check it out and let me know what you think! :)

@iamnursechelsea Yes, I watched it and I loved it! I've been an LVN for 15 years and I graduate from RN school in December. I want to be a NICU nurse, but I'm genuinely interested in almost every field of nursing. You really give a lot of good information on infusion nursing. I'm glad I found you on TH-cam and I'm looking forward to all of your future videos!

Thank you! 😊 I’m planning on filming one today and posting either Thursday or Saturday!

Absolutely I can! I’ll have to do my research but I’m excited to bring in that perspective for my LPN girlies! 🥰

Hey Q! So, fortunately I never had acne much growing up, besides the occasional period pimple. So no, actually I think my skin has been a lot more hydrated since being off the pill. In addition to diet changes like cutting out dairy, it’s also added to my skin health! ☺️

@@iamnursechelsea you’re a life saver 🩷 I’ve never had acne growing up as well, nor did I have it when on the pill so I’m hoping that when I’m off of it I don’t have that issue! My older sister stopped taking them years back and she didn’t have any acne breakouts from stopping either. I’m praying my journey goes similar to yalls 🩷

Omg you are so kind! 🥹🤭 Yes same for both my sisters, they had teenage acne but not bad and they both got off birth control. My older sister was on the pill and got off maybe after 5 years of being on it and had no issues. My little sister got off the depo shot and had some bad periods for a few months, but recovered back to normal after about 6 months. She gets acne still but very little similar to how she was as a teen. ☺️ I also lost like 30 lbs after getting off the pill. I was about 170lbs 5’6” and got down to 135lbs in about 6 months of being off the pill. A lot of it was water weight but my normal weight is about 150lbs. Getting off birth control has a lot of benefits and I hope you experience them as well! 💕🫶🏽 Thank you for watching my video and supporting my channel babe! 🥰

@@iamnursechelsea aw thank you! I really appreciate you for even responding! I’m definitely going get off this pill, I desperately want to feel back to myself again lol. You and my sister are giving me the push I need, after this last week on the pill I’m never going back! Thank so much again love 💖

You are welcome girlie! 💕 You are going to flourish even more being off of it! Your mood is going to be better, water weight loss, skin improvement, feeling more like yourself again! 🫶🏽

Heyy girlie! Thank you for commenting and watching!! 🫶🏽💕 GIRL SAVE your back, the hospital foundation isn’t going to change, it’s too far gone. Use the hospital to your advantage for the skill growth and then leave. Yes, so as an infusion nurse I make $50/hr. But I also am married, but even in the hospital, my base rate working as a staff nurse was like $35 at the most not including the night shift diff. But it’s honestly about the same with shift diff that I was making as a staff nurse. I was making $65/hr as a PRN float nurse in the ED before I left to do infusion nursing. But truthfully, it wasn’t about the money for me because I have my husband for that financial support, really he just wanted me to mentally be okay. And the hospital was deteriorating me drastically. So something had to change. ☺️

@@iamnursechelsea awww I’m glad you met someone that cares about your well being! Hoping I can meet someone like that one day 🤞🏾 lol. And that’s honestly really good. I live in Florida and pay is truly trash here. Hospitals here pay between 30-34. And for the work I see nurses do needs to be more!

Thank you so much! And you will, I assure you!💕 Yes I hear Florida and how they pay their nurses is trash, which would probably encourage you even more to leave the hospital sooner. I would look into the infusion nurse jobs on indeed (that’s how I found mine) and just see what their requirements regarding experience are. It wouldn’t hurt to apply to a few! ☺️ I hope you’re able to find a good fit, but in the meantime definitely get at least a year experience doing IVs and working in the hospital. It’s a great foundation to start with and use to your advantage! Let me know if you have any more questions and if I can help in any way! 🥰

@@iamnursechelsea thank you so much my love, you have been extremely helpful 🫶🏾, I definitely will start looking just to see how the requirements are

You are more than welcome babe! ☺️🫶🏽 I am super excited for you too! Keep me posted on what you find, I’m sure it can help a lot of other nurses who live in Florida. I know many of them are probably looking for something different outside of bedside too! 🤗

Yes! I just ran them by gravity depending on the infusion. ☺️

I agree, a few minutes is the key. Most people in the world expect much more than just a few minutes though which nurses can’t always give to each patient especially in the ER. 🙂

@@iamnursechelsea yeah I have had many patients, especially of the elder community. Want to chitchat just had a pure loneliness. But, I had to explain to them that as much as I would love to sit there and talk with them I would have to leave their room and take care of other people. I found that my honesty with themwas excepted by them and I think they appreciated it all at all. It just takes a few minutes of a nurses time to communicate to make eye contact maybe even touch their hand. Medicine goes a lot deeper than just pills and shots.

I’m happy you’ve been able to make it work for you! 😊

Say it louder for the people in the back! I’m so happy to have moved on from that portion of my career experiences. 😅

Hi Darnelle! I’m so happy to hear that you have found the best fit for you! ☺️ It truly is a blessing to be outpatient and out of that toxic bedside environment. I didn’t realize how much it was taking a toll on me until my husband pointed it out honestly. Yes, look into infusion nursing if you ever want to do a PRN or something! 😊

Hi babe! Great question, so some hospitals we had to print EKG strips every day when we came on shift and interpret and chart them. But in the ER, as nurses I look to make sure the EKG is normal but the doctors have to sign them immediately and they interpret them more in depth. ☺️

@@iamnursechelsea okay got ya! That’s good to know because they’re not my strong suit just yet, but I know I’ll get better with practice. Thank you so much 💕💕

You’re more than welcome! 🤗

Yess girlie! 🥰 I pray you get the job love! Best of luck to you on your journey!!

Hi! Yes you should! I’ve been a nurse for 6 years, and 7 years of IV experience. I have a background of ER, and Cardiac Stepdown. You would be perfect for the role, my job required at leave 5 years of consecutive IV experience. I found my job on indeed by searching for infusion nurse. ☺️

​@@iamnursechelseaThanks for the response. Seems like you've got it pretty good with a flexible schedule and the ability to work independently. Many thanks!

It’s truly a blessing honestly! I hope you get the opportunity to experience the same if you decide to apply to a few infusion nurse jobs! ☺️ I wish you the best!!

@@iamnursechelsea Thanks, Chelsea. Likewise!

Hi there! I’m sorry, I don’t feel comfortable sharing that information. But I encourage you if you’re interested in infusion nursing to go on indeed and search for those jobs in your area. I’m sure you will come across many options! ☺️

Hi Sophie! Thank you for watching! ☺️ Great question, so the relationships with all (about 300 or more) patients that I see in a year are awesome. I’ve probably only had an issue with two patients who are no longer infusing at my suite. But the issue was never to the magnitude of what I encountered in the ER. I actually love catching up with my patients with our gossip, girlie chit chats (because most of my patients are women), life chats! They bring me candy and doughnuts lol! It’s really a 180 experience from the hospital, and the physicians support us as nurses which is something I didn’t see often in the ER. 🥰 I recommend you look into an infusion center, I don’t work with oncology, just rheumatology and some neuro patients with MS. But all my patients are truly sweethearts and have been seeing the physicians for over 15 years, so it’s a close relationship. The nurse previous to me that I took over for worked here for 10 years, so that says A LOT! 😁

Yes ma’am I do! Ask and you shall receive! Let me know some more additional questions you have about infusion nursing and I will make a separate video! ☺️ I will definitely spill the tea, we don’t gatekeep around here for the nurse girlies! 💗

Aww thank you for watching babe! 💗 So, great question! I live in Georgia and as a RN you could own your own medical spa in collaboration with a physician. So you can own it 100% with a supervising collaboration agreement with a physician. Hopefully that makes sense. ☺️ I know in California you have to be a NP and I believe you can only own 50% and have to have a physician who owns the other 50%.

Thank you babeee! I use the mielle edge control gel! It hasn’t steered me wrong! ☺️🥰

Omg seriously!? Maybe I need to make an update to this video because the girls need it! ☺️ Thank you for your support and watching! Thank you so much babe, may God bless you and yours as well!🫶🏽💕

@@iamnursechelsea please! I’m begging you to make an update 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️

You got it girl! I’m adding it to my list as we speak! I’ll come back to your comment and let you know when it’s up! ☺️

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! 🥹💕 It’s definitely a vulnerable state to be in but if I can help just one person who may be going through the same thing and feel they have nobody to turn to, I pray that they know they aren’t alone. 💗

Girl it’s the soft life at its best! 🤭 It’s definitely the best kept secret because I never knew what an infusion nurse was or that it even existed!! I was truly missing out for YEARS! I love this little life now! 🫶🏽

@@iamnursechelsea right! When I say I’m never returning to the bedside AGAIN!

Thank you so much! 💕 I appreciate you watching girlie! ☺️

Girl! It’s rough in these nurse streets! 🤭 No but seriously, nursing definitely isn’t for the weak.. it takes A LOT of sacrifice truly. Thank you for watching and commenting babe! 🥰

Okay, super exciting! Yes I would get at least 2 years of IV experience before doing infusion nursing because the patients sometimes don’t have the best veins. I found my job on indeed! I typed in infusion nurse to find different openings near me! ☺️ Hopefully that helps!

Definitely look on indeed and search “infusion nurse” or even medical spa nurse because some med spas do Vitamin Infusions and you can gain more experience that way, in case you don’t want to go back to the hospital! 😄
