Guys if anyone deserves to be a Nurse it’s this woman right here. She worked her tail off in the Nursing program & still is even now being a New grad RN 👩🏾⚕️
No one ever talks about the nursing blues and all the self doubt. I'm always thinking about quitting nursing and just get a job at target or something. Lol. Nursing is stressful.
No one ever talked about the depression that comes. Going from working full time and going to nursing school at the same time to only working 3 12 hr shifts .. there is too much time on your hands suddenly and with no new goals.. it’s like a WTF do I do now? I wish someone could have told me it was normal to feel the way I did and understood. I felt like there was really something wrong with me and me alone. It was almost 20 yrs ago and still remember that first year as one big downer.
It is so weird. You go from being nervous about school to happy it is over. And now depressed. smh. The only thing I get is the nerves of being a new grad on the floor. But having too much time? wow
Good thing you left obs. Because being an New Grad RN on that floor is torture when you first start. Everything is so fast paced and you'll feel like you're literally drowning. It gets better as time goes on but thats months later after orientation.
Sis I’m the same . I work nights and I feeel tired all the time. I also feel like I’m not as smart . I have been a nurse for 5 months and I still feel like I know nothing. We need to be friendsssss sis I have no nursing friends
I’m in the same boat as you!! A new grad RN, just feeling clueless and burnout, just putting my trust in God each shift to help me. Nice been thinking of going part time but just not sure yet.
Don’t feel guilty that your dream disappoints you! We’re meant to work to be able to live, but if work takes up all your life, you’re not living. These are not good working conditions. I would be depressed too if I had no life outside of work. I’m sorry. Keep fighting ❤
I graduated as an LPN and started out in the hospital. I doubt myself a lot too. But the hospital wants you to give your life for the job. When I started the bridge program and switched to working in nursing home. Mentioned I couldn't work a day because my kid and the manager was like ofcourse your kids come 1st. I was shocked. Like ok I like y'all. It's not like how the hospital did where they guilt trip you b/c we short staffed. So they act like they care about you but they really only care about you being there. I liked the hospital but I felt like they expected you to put the job 1st. Also, I've only worked med surg neurology. Which is a very heavy floor and the turnover rate on that floor was bad. I was there a year and only a hand full of ppl been there longer than I have. My preceptor left like a month after training me. It was crazy. But now my life hectic because I'm juggling my 2 toddler children, work and school. I do want to go back to the hospital. Im thinking about going into surgery when I finish the program. If not surgery maybe PEDs. Idk but I do have to finish the program 1st because I feel limited were I can go and what I can do as an LPN.
You all are focused on the stress and the pressure. Remember that is with anything you do. Just remember why you wanted to be a nurse and where you want to go. These are feelings they change as you grow in your arts. Keep moving ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Correct, our brain get so used to new normal-like stressful life during nursing school, which is absolutely nothing like anything else, then when we graduate and pass boards and have nothing to do our brain gets so confused and it does feel so depressing:)
I relate so much to this. I just passed nclex and I’m starting my job in a week and I just don’t feel ecstatic about it. Maybe I’m depressed. I really think nursing school traumatized me and I’m scared how bad the job might be.
Hey honey, I’m planning on doing a vid on studying tips for you but I don’t understand what you mean by time management. Are you speaking of how I managed my time with nursing school or at work? Please let me know.
it feels so relatable listening to your video girl nursing school has made me feel the exact same way! so much stress and pressure and for WHAT?? to not even know anything so far into it or even when its done!! and then after the grind is over its a relief, but then there isnt much purpose anymore! and the jobs are stressful. all of this sums up how i feel about nursing school and nursing as a career, and why i always question if its something i really want to do. its a stressful career and asks for a lot but gives so little ... i must have come across your video for a reason because i can relate to you!
I can co-sign what you’re saying. I’ve been an LPN for 5 months. I was traumatized after finishing school. I graduated in May and didn’t take my NCLEX until September. Not because I didn’t know the material but I just was so turned off from Nursing. I was also sad knowing that I had to go back to school for my RN. Fast forward I’m bridging over to RN and I’m just taking each day one day at a time.
The depression happens to anyone who gives there all to something then it ends .it's like your body is physically telling you to relax. But being a new grad is tough being on a med surg/tele unit with my preceptor I would leave feeling like my brain was mash potatoes. I never felt like I was dumb ,but nursing is alot your not just trying to understand what's going on but the atmosphere is also physically draining . There's alot of factors that play into nursing being alot sometimes its not even you it can be other nurses stressing you out

This is so true you do fall into depression
It's sad but it's true...

Thank you honey ❤ I’m sure it will get better ❤️🩹 I am planning on leaving night shift so hopefully that gives me a breath of fresh air 😅

I feel exact the same way and I'm still in second year nursing school. I feel so dumb and I'm asking myself if I'm up for this.
I’m telling you !!!
Ke Bondye rive pi lwen avèw ma cheri
Rule number 1 never give your all to nothing and be assertive. Always be willing to say F you to ppl.
Yup I feel that 100%!!! Thank you 💕
