    Night shift nurse here, i work in trauma. During those stressful moments, I remember that I am one person and I have two arms and two legs. I cannot do more than I physically do and freaking out will not make things go faster or help me grow more limbs.

    The hill I will die on is that you shouldn’t have to pay to park at college or the hospital…and I am a university employee with a chronic illness so I have to do both 😂

    I've worked a variety of shifts & my fave is 12 hour nights. I like to just do all 3 in a row and be done. Plus, the night shift differential makes it worth it!

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I also like working 3 in a row, makes it so much easier!

    To me the whole shift system the US has is so interresting. I worked in a hospital as an intern for a year and in Germany it's so completely different. In my hospital we had morning shift from 6am-2pm, late shift from 1pm-9pm, then there was also a late-late shift from like 5pm-1am to support during evening care, preparing all the meds for the patients for the next and help the night-shift nurse for a few hours and then ofc night shift from 8pm to 6/6-30am. Also every nurse that worked full time had to do a few nights each month, except for 2 mothers that worked limited hours and only worked nights by their choice. There was a frequent change between morning and late shift, which was exhausting somtimes, especially when it was late to morning switch. Also just working 4 shifts in a row sounds like a dream! Even as an intern I worked up to 12 days in a row...

    I'm a PA and switch between day and night shifts and I agree that switch is rough! been doing it for 6 years now and while it's easier, that 3am/4am slump on nights still hits hard

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you so much for talking about sleep anxiety!!!! I’ve never heard anyone talk about it but mine used to be a really bad and I’ve worked really hard to heal my relationship with sleep.

    • @KiaraMadisen

    • @bhnurse16

      One of the hardest things for me is picking up day shifts as a night shifter because I'm always afraid of oversleeping and the anxiety keeps me up longer. Grr!

    Well done on getting through those day shift days.
    The meals looked great.
    I try to take a deep breath and count to 10, then decide how I am going to tackle the problem.

    Hello! I’m from Canada and I find it interesting that you got hired for a straight nights line. it’s might vary across Canada but where I am all nurses we work the day day night night rotation you can swap your shifts to try to get all nights or all days but for the most part we all do days and nights equally. Anyways love the vids 💜

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I honestly wish more hospitals in my state did that but I haven’t really heart of that happening…I think so other hospitals in the US do offer that schedule which is nice!

    I just got back to Northern Ireland yesterday after a trip to Seattle and Portland! The hot days nearly killed me lol and I walked 30 mins to go to Salt and Straw in the heat. Their flavours are so different but the one I had was delish and it’s a really cute neighbourhood.

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  ปีที่แล้ว

      Aww I’m so glad you came to visit! Sorry it was so crazy hot here…it’s usually not that bad 😂 glad you got the salt and straw experience though, I go there way too much ;)

    I am a big list person and very logical about things but I can also be a big overthinker so when I am stressed I let myself have a moment and then try and be logical about what I need to/what I can do and make myself a list to get myself feeling more organised

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  ปีที่แล้ว

      THIS. I totally relate...that's why I feel like writing down my list on paper actually helps me sort it out 😂

    I don't know how to keep myself calm during a stressful period. I just lose my appetite, can't sleep and get irritated and angry easily & quickly. But I think time heals everything so the more time gets by the less stressful I become.

  • @eringuerard501
    @eringuerard501 ปีที่แล้ว

    I do a month of days then a month of nights!! They both have pros/cons it’s so hard but normal sleep for me always wins over nightshift lol

    Kiara, you really should think about becoming a doctor. You have such an amazing bed side manner just in general that it seems it would be such a natural progression for you in your career and imagine what a blessing you would be to not only your patients but to their families. Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your life!

    My office changed my work hours from the morning to a 2-10 pm. I love my job but I´m a morning person, the time I have the most energy is in the morning so going to work early wasn´t a problem for me. Now is hard not to take my 5 pm nap or not to drink coffe after 6 so I can be able to sleep. I´m still getting used to this new routine. I enjoyed this video, hope yo are having a great week

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  ปีที่แล้ว

      wow that is quite the switch and I can see how that would be a challenge....it is amazing what we can rally through but it can be very rough at the same time!

  • @VejenTilSygeplejerske
    @VejenTilSygeplejerske ปีที่แล้ว +2

    As a danish nurse student I find so wild that you work 12 hour shifts and don't rotate regularly between them. In Denmark we work 8 hour shift (7 - 15, 15 - 23 and 23 - 7) and we regularly rotate between shifts. And we don't draw blood. We got Medical Laboratory Technologists for that. The only time we draw blood is if as patient is really bad and we need a artery puncture (Arterial blood test)
    Also In night shift on a small hospital on the medical floor we 3 nurses and 3 nurse assistants for 30 patients😅
    It’s normal that 1 nurse is responsible for 5 - 10 patients by herself on day shift 🫣

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I wish we did shift rotations!! Luckily on my floor we don’t really draw blood from a poke, all our kids on treatment have some sort of central line so it’s so easy to get good blood return from them! So fun to hear the nursing differences in all the countries!

    Hi Kiara I’m so curious are all your scrubs from Figs? Also your compression socks and under scrubs, like your long sleeves? Also does your hospital have their own scrub color for nurses but you guys are allowed to wear any scrub color you want?

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  ปีที่แล้ว

      All my scrub pants and compression socks are! But the long sleeves tops are a mix of lululemon and figs! We can wear whatever color we want so it’s fun to mix it up in peds world!

    That is the map of Portland and there you have highway 26 that goes to banks and vernonia and the other route goes to Pendleton and the other route that goes to Salem I-5 SB And I-5 Northbound to Vancouver Longview Olympia Tacoma Seattle WA and Vancouver BC. And I-5 north becomes BC highway 99A which takes you to the Trans Canada Highway from Vancouver BC to Halifax NS. Through British Columbia Alberta Saskatchewan Manitoba Ontario Quebec New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

    Some viewers will criticize my comment * they hate your moving videos) : Since you will be at this hospital for the next three years, is it possible for you to live much closer to the hospital so you could walk for 15 minutes to get to the hospital?

      Hahah those haters need to chill. I actually live a 10 min drive away which is basically as close as you can get to the hospital. I've thought about living in another spot that's walkable, but I'm also so happy in my apartment now and hope my next move will be into a house :)
