  • Well the moment is here. I am officially employed with my first nursing job & I'm lucky enough for it to be the one that I've manifested all along. Here's the story of what I have been up to the past 6 months, my job searching journey, advice & tips for you, AND the big reveal of which unit I'll be working on!

    So happy for you! I started infusions at age 19 but had started treatment at 16 so I stayed in peds and the 5 nurses on my floor helped me become the person I am today. I'm still friends with them on FB (since I'm at a "big girl" hospital now).

    Woohoo!!! Congrats girl!! 🎉 I started as a new grad in the ER on nights and have worked night shift for a year and a half. I actually really love working night shift. I feel that because you don’t have the typical resources as day shift that the teamwork is better and you become closer with your coworkers. Night shift is also typically less busy (not always the case) so that can help make the transition from student nurse to RN a little easier. Blackout curtains are also a MUST!

    Congrats Kiara! I knew this day would come, your hard work paid off! Thanks for sharing your journey.
    Advise: Remember everyone (including the most seasoned professionals) had to start from square one. At the end of the day, you know what you know, and it is wise to always ask for assistance, guidance, and the answers when you don’t know something. Enjoy the process and even on the rough days you are learning and developing professionally and personally! Finally, there is no need for imposter syndrome, since your colleagues know that you are a new grad and this is your first job. In most cases showing compassion to your patients and their families, contributing to your team, and alway maintaining a willingness to learn and grow will open more doors for professional opportunity and relationships. Lastly, develop a least two relationship mentorship relationship with people that genuinely care for and about you, and that will provide diverse perspectives!

    Peds Onc nurses are by far the most amazing people on this earth. Backstory - my daughter was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma in Dec 2020, just one month shy of her 3rd birthday. During her treatment, those nurses were literal angels. The level of compassion they gave to my daughter as well as me and my husband is something I don't think words can express. She had to receive a BMT and we lived out of the hospital for 7 months. Those nurses became our family. We never felt like we were in it alone in the process. You have chosen a field that I don't think you can comprehend the positive impact you will have on Hem-Onc families. Those nurses held our hands, gave us hugs, laughed and cried with us. We will always be forever grateful for their compassion and care!

    Congratulations Kiara!!! It's been so exciting to see you go through your whole journey. I am an RN in Canada, worked on an inpatient surgical unit for 2.5 years and just switched to the OR last month. My advice for new grad you is to take advantage of the time with the preceptor, use it as time to learn and ask tons of questions!!! As someone who has orientated lots of new grads and students, know that you are definitely not expected to know everything!!!! Something else I'm just finally starting to accept - know that it is not your job to fix everyone and to know every little thing that's going to happen to your patients before it does. The human body is unpredictable, and sometimes the warning signs arent there. Sometimes, the warning signs are there, we do everything we can, and it still isn't enough. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. ❤You will be such a great nurse!

    Regular night shift worker:
    Have a “prep day” the day before to simulate your night shift as much as possible.
    Keep your meals the same way as much as possible eg breakfast in the morning and dinners in the evening. Switching the meals I found wrecks my bodys Rythym
    Keep up the fluids as much as possible!
    Time your caffeine intake so you don’t get the 3/4am lull!

    EDIT: Not a nurse but aiming for Clinical Psychology, UK require doctorate level ed for this and it's v.competitive. 1yr+ experience working with folks with different physical/social/mental/learning needs as well as tons of research assistant experience are base level expectations - we have to love what we do right?! 🥲

    Congratulations Kiara!!!!!! I am so dang proud of you for sticking to your passion and getting that dream job. You deserve this so much. I’m SOOOOO excited for the nursing content that is coming. Your future patients and their families are going to be well taken care of and I am over the moon for you on this. Anna H. is amazing and so are you! You can do the things that you want with nursing AND coaching/TH-cam!!
    Not an RN, but I am an MRI technologist in Seattle. My best advice would be that you will probably have days where you experience imposter syndrome. Golly, I sure did as a new grad. There were days I would drive home and cry from the stress and overwhelming feelings of it. What we do is so important, the mistakes we make can cost another human being their life. And that can be scary… but it makes you good at your job in my opinion. I’ve never let the weight of what we do down, it keeps me constantly checking myself. Making certain every single decision I make is 100% about the patient in my care and for their best interest. The imposter syndrome will fade and one day you will feel so confident and comfortable in your position. Get on a sleep schedule. Meal prep. Have snacks that keep your energy levels up. Do self care when you need to so you are taking care of your own mental health. Especially working in pediatric oncology. You will never forget your 1st patient that passes away. They will all hurt to lose, but there are people you bond with more than others and those ones are hard. I lost one of my all-time favorite patients to cancer in September. It broke my heart, absolutely gutted me. Talk to your fellow friends in healthcare. Because they will get it, we have all been there. Gosh, I think those are all the biggies. If you have anything that you are curious about I am happy to elaborate on any of my own personal experiences for you.

    Night shift nurse for 2 years now! Definitely blackout curtains that are THICK and block out all light. I love to use a sunrise alarm clock in combo with my blackout curtains, otherwise it can be super disorienting waking up in totally dark room. Sometimes I go overkill and wear an eye mask too. Love the Olly muscle recovery melatonin gummies (with tart cherry) for the days I'm flipping back and forth. ALSO I know it can be expensive but invest in high quality shoe inserts now, as well as compression socks. Nursing is SO demanding on the body and I ended up dropping a few hundred on shoe inserts about two months into my first job and the back and leg pain I was getting after a 12 just didn't exist anymore.

So nap when you can and drink lots of water to help your body adjust!!

    Congratulations Kiara!
    My first nursing job was in paeds. I started in intensive care but it was too early in my career (I needed to consolidate my training first) so I moved to oncology and orthopaedics. I LOVED paediatric nursing. That led me to primary care nursing, then into hypertension and endocrinology nursing back in a hospital.
    Now I’m a nurse practitioner. My scope of practice is diabetes education and I work for myself.
    Night shift is fine if you can sleep when you need to. I found sleeping straight after a shift worked for me, but I know other nurses who preferred to sleep later in the day. It’ll take a while to get used to, so be good to yourself ❤

    After so many years, I’ve always loved acute care, post surgery, and ICU patients. Pediatrics is a given for me, but I always loved the more intense atmospheres. While stressful at times, I always felt like I was helping so much at people’s most vulnerable times. It is, was, and always will be rewarding to me. Yay for all our healthcare heroes!

    Congrats! Night shift is a lot of fun! When I worked nights, I would get home around 7:45 am and sleep until 12-1(ish) and then get up and work out, do some errands, meal prep, and then go back to sleep for a bit. My hardest part was that I taught myself to sleep in small chunks of time. But, I ended up really liking the shift! My biggest recommendation would be to be kind to yourself while you adjust to the schedule change. Don’t schedule too many things for the first few weeks while you’re making the adjustment! Also, invest in black out curtains and a sleep mask! The sleep mask was such a game changer for me!
    Wishing you all the best in the transition and with the new job as a whole!

  • @dianaaltman5026
    @dianaaltman5026 ปีที่แล้ว

    Night shift I feel like allows you to learn more. You don’t have so many people calling you and you have more time to critically think. I’ve done night shift as a cna before and honestly would prefer night shifts as a new grad as well. Definitely recommend getting some black out curtains. What I did before my night shift was go to bed around 1-2am the day before and wake up around 10am to eat and do some things I need to do before work and then go to bed again around 1pm or 2pm and then wake up again around 4-4:30pm. I lived like about 30 minutes away from work and my shift started at 7pm so it gave me enough time to get ready, eat, pack a lunch and anything else I needed to do before work and be there on time. Many people prepare for night shift differently but this is just how I did it. I would say it took me about 2 weeks to get used to. I also recommend, if you can, to request not having island off days for night shift because your day off is essentially just you sleeping and it really messes up your sleep schedule. Hopefully you can request a consistent schedule or pattern!

    Kiara!!!! Congratulations, so excited for you!! I graduated nursing school 2 years ago and I’m a nightshift NICU nurse!
    I remember feeling so terrified to start on nights because I had never done it before but I promise it’s worth it if it’s in your dream specialty. Definitely stack your shifts so you work 3 nights in a row and have 4 days off to flip back to a normal schedule. Before my first nightshift I’ll try to stay up late the night before and sleep in the next day or even try to take a nap in the afternoon before going in and that always helps! Once you get through the first shift of the week your body usually adjusts for the rest of the stretch! Keep yourself hydrated and rest when you need it, nurse hangovers are so real. And I’ll be honest, the nightshift crew is typically SO fun, you’ll get super close with your coworkers and become such a strong nurse since the resources are often different at night. Put your time in and before you know it you’ll be transitioning to a dayshift position! Can’t wait to see you succeed!!

    Wow! Congratulations, I have a friend who’s kid passed when he was 4 years old of leukemia. I was there the night they disconnected them and I remember thinking…these nurse have to have such a heart for this because this is soooo hard! So congratulations! Here’s to hoping you become the best nurse you can be and those kids need!
    I went into High risk Labor and Delivery and I wouldn’t have it any other way…I absolutely found my niche and it’s the most rewarding job ever. I had a patient come up to me the other day (on my OT day, a day I really didn’t want to be at work) he came up to me in the elevator and told me “you were my wife’s nurse and you gave us so much hope and now look at my baby, he survived.” The wife had delivered at 24 weeks. That made me ball like a baby but that’s why I became a nurse to be that hope and light for patients. I hope you get stories like that along the way and reinforce your purpose!

    So proud of you Kiara!!! Congratulations! You're going to be such a light and joy for these kids and their families! ◡̈ I've been a night shift NICU nurse for almost 15 years now. In my personal experience as well as the experience of being a preceptor for many years starting out on nights was better because it typically is a bit slower paced without all the extra staff/specialties/family around so you can spend more focused time dedicated to learning and reviewing. Its also great to get a handle on your time management which is the most important thing to learn and the hardest to teach!

    I found out I got into vet school around the same time you got into nursing school so I really feel like I’ve felt every emotion along with you during this journey! I’ve never been so excited for and proud of a complete stranger before lol 😅 Congratulations 🎉💗

    My dream was to be a pediatric nurse! I also had a lot of interest in oncology and would have loved pediatric oncology. I became a nurse during a time that they didn’t actively hire new grads throughout the year but only twice a year during hiring events. So I pretty much had to take whichever unit I was offered, which was PCU (progressive care) The longer I worked with adults, the harder it became to make the choice to start all over with pediatrics. So, here I am still an “adult nurse” 😂 I have switched from pcu to ICU and I love it. But a small part of me will slightly long for pediatrics and what could have been. Also, I’ve been a nightshirt nurse my entire career (12 years) and really thrive on it. I can’t ever imagine having to work days 😆

    Ahhh congratualtion!! This is so encouraging as I've been watching you for encouragement, motivation, and inspiration. Although I am currently in my first year if undergrad, I know that I want to work in Pediatric Oncology Nursing. I appreciate the honesty and advice while working towards your goals. I wish you nothing but the test in this new chapter

    @elisabethadams1531 ปีที่แล้ว

    Congrats! You’ll be such a good peds nurse :) I started peds nights back in September and I try my best to work 2-3 shifts in a row(we get to self schedule) and then before my first shift I have a normal day but nap from 3-5 and then after my last shift I sleep for around 7 hours and have no trouble sleeping that night too because I’m so tired lol. Nights is definitely a transition but I love the shift and the people I work with! Drink lots of water and don’t overdo it on caffeine :)

  • @lindsaycrn2841

    You are seriously the cutest!! I have been watching your videos for the past year and love your positive happy attitude! I love that you got your dream nursing job. I am currently half way through my RN BSN program and I literally have NO IDEA what area of nursing I want to go into and it is stressing me out! lol! It seems like everyone else in my cohort knows where they want to be, but I am so picky and haven't liked any of my clinical rotation areas so far (med surg, CVU, ortho, nicu, icu). I'm hoping it all clicks at some point and I have some direction. Thank you for sharing your journey, and I can't wait to follow your peds journey!

    So excited for you! I started in adult oncology and moved to the OR. Don’t let that bad interview with the OR scare you. It’s such a great change from the bedside if you’re ever ready to make that move. However oncology will give you a great set of skills to take with you wherever you want to go

    I’m working on my last year of my LVN program and I’m getting so nervous about the process for NCLEX and finding a job. Especially because not a lot of places hire LVN. It’s definitely my first steeping stone but my end goal of my nursing journey is to be a ED trauma nurse. It’s all I think about.
    Again congratulations 🎉😊

    I'm excited for 2023 and what it holds in store!!! 💖 sending u all the good wishe, luck, and happiness!
