I just finished nursing school last year April…and I already feel like my brain is rotting away…the feeling of not intentionally learning something …just like how intense it was during school… I’m feeling motivated to learn something because of this video… maybe Spanish because I have so many patients in this community
I love this! I graduated with my BS from UCLA in 2015 and after working for 5 years and doing what I thought was my dream job, I went to law school in 2020 at 27!
Wow! Inspiring
what was your gpa?
I finished my master's last year and I ended up feeling the same way! While I only did it in order to recieve a raise at my job, I found that I really enjoy learning and being in a classroom community setting! I would love to take a japanese course!
Miki's 5 reasons to keep learning as an adult
1. competence leads to confidence (charisma = competence + warmth)
2. it sparks new ideas and opportunities
3. it changes your perspective
4. it keeps your brain active and healthy (use it or lose it!)
5. it helps you stay connected to your community
keep learning, keep growing
Thank you for the video! Whether enhancing language or refining tech skills, it's always worthwhile. Your growth in nursing by staying updated and working is inspiring. I'm learning cooking skills. Best of luck with Japanese classes! 😊
Speaking from someone who is also from the bay area and having studied nursing at Arizona State university I can finally appreciate my education at a similar level as you. I'm 21 years old and honestly I'm think of pursuing elementary education and perhaps pursue nursing later on in life. I had to stand up to a lot of people and really voice my thoughts and opinions even if it hurt the other person. I learned that I can't preserve everyone's feelings. I want to have the courage and confidence to continue living life happily while keeping good relationships with people. I also struggled to sign up for an art class at a local community college. But I eventually figured it out with the help of my family :)
I resonated with this sooo much and it really helped me!
I graduated with my BSN in 2018 as well. I applied and got into a couple BSN-DNP psych NP program, and got an amazing scholarship for the program I chose. Unfortunately, I suddenly got very sick and my life completely stopped.
I am determined to return to work remotely by the end of the year, but I want to be able to work a full year before going back to school.
Over the time of being the patient, I’ve realized I do not want to be an NP at all and I’m highly considering changing career paths. Although, I am super interested in nursing informatics thanks to my IS/IT husband 😂
I miss learning so badly. And you just opened my perspective of ”going back to school.” There are endless opportunities and It doesn’t have to be nursing related! I still plan to go back for informatics or a career change, but in the mean time I could do something related to things I really want to learn about.
I apologize for the long comment, but this video really hit me hard in a good way! Miki, I appreciate how much you share and the variety of things you talk about.
8:49 I totally get u! When I was younger, I did not care about college or have much interest in studying (although I did fine academically) but now I'm taking an online programming course and I'm the best student I've ever been and have so much genuine interest in actually learning and growing for my future. Crazy how things change.
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts in this video. I’m 37 and I just went back to school for my Masters and I agree 100%
The opportunity to continue learning is such a blessing! Enjoy every moment! 🤗
Her email really did have good intentions! And on the other perspective, would you want an FNP treating patients with one 1 year of experience in one unit? 😅
Good for you! I’m doing the same, and it’s never too late to learn
That instructor’s email was very good advice. The NP profession is full with naive nurses who have 3 months of experience, lol. Not to mention the over saturation is stagnating NP salary and it is very common for RNs to get paid more than NPs with less responsibilities and better work life balance.
i have never resonated with a video more. thank you for being so vulnerable and honest with us
I really enjoyed this video. You have a lot of insight. I love the honesty & vulnerability!!
Ahh this was so fun to watch and sparked inspiration in me! I am half Japanese (born near Osaka and moved to US when I was 6) and want to improve my Japanese as I have lost it over the years. When I go back to visit my family I feel self conscious of how I communicate. My school goals are school nurse credential, masters in public health, and Japanese school!
that's awesome! you got this!! 🫶
Miki san, this is great! I’m working on my 3rd language too. This is so cool! I keep telling my mother never to stop learning English because it stimulates her brain. She lives in Japan.
yeah continuously learning gives meaning to life, it's very fulfilling. I'm a physician and just finished a neurology residency, and clinical neurophysiology fellowship last summer. Felt the same way, hitting a plateau. So I started a personal finance CZcams channel to learn about scripting, filming, editing. Currently taking the real estate salesperson prerequisite courses to take the real estate licensing test in May to get a CA real estate license to be my own buyer's agent when buying our first home. Some time in the future, going to save up tuition money and go to an online law school to learn more about law, not necessarily practice law.
This is a great video! I subscribed back then when you were going to school. I got my associates degree a bit ago to become a certified vet tech. This year I want to study more, and finally take the VTNE. Especially the math stuff, I suck at math lol
I definitely resonate with this video. Great work Miki!
So funny- I got my nursing degree in 2015, and felt the itch and got an MBA in 2020 as I wanted to maybe open my own healthcare company- then that was not IT for me. I became obsessed with wanting to learn Japanese- lots of books as I was itching to grow and learn--which recently took me to Apply to NP school, and I just got accepted in fall 24 at Duke. My dream program. I'm closer to retirement age and just want to keep GROWING. I love this message! Never stop exploring life! Enjoy your studies! To anyone out there who struggles---just keep going!
I'm so happy for you! I agree with you that learning keeps our brain active and functioning better. I'm graduating this Spring semester with a bachelor's degree in Human Services, Mental Health. For this reason, I have learned that nourishing our souls and boosting our brains with meaningful things in life can help us have good mental health. I enjoyed watching your video because it motivated me to continue learning and thinking about applying for a master's program. Also, as you said, it's good to rethink what things we really need to learn to help us move forward. Thank you so much, Miki!!! 💖
Miki!! 日本語の勉強頑張って、楽しんでください☺️
そして、また日本を訪れてくださいね❤
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. That was brave and inspiring for people who need an upgrade in their lives ❤
inspiring! proud of you for taking a leap for something you're passionate about :)
You’re so wholesome! My commitment to learning is by reading nonfiction books, not necessarily self-help books but studies, scientific research, things like that.
Yes! Yes! Yes!!!
You are definitely doing something meaningful with these videos for all of us young and old!!!
Thank you!
I will be coming back to this video in times I feel like the hard work is too hard!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Big hugs!! 🥰❤️😍
This was what I needed thank you!
I'm so happy for you, and I'm wishing you nothing but the best! I watched this video during my lunch break from studying, and I'm feeling a lot more motivated now, so thank you
My final semester in uni is starting next week so this is perfect
Omg Miki I can’t wait to see you in Japanese language school!!! I want to learn Japanese and I’m so excited to see your journey.
YAY to learning!! :) I love that you took time to reconsider and realign with what makes sense and what felt right! Same girl
Im so happy for you!! Im also studying Japanese again with a friend right now. Ganbarou!!!❤
This is awesome! I have always wanted to learn Japanese but Duolingo just isn't cutting it lol.
This year I am learning to tuft/punch needle wall art/rugs! super excited about it
That professor was SO polite actually! I think Americans are so oversensitive cause most Europeans are so direct, hahaha. I swear some of my professors would be like: "So bold of you to assume you can do that with basically no experience. Do not reccomend but to each their own. Good luck." lmao
I agree with the instructor’s email. Good luck going back to school 🙌🏼
Back to school! Always something to learn! Mind growth 🧠. Physician assistant is another good route or pharmacist.
Definitely not pharmacy. My wife is a pharmacist and the burn out is unbelievable
@@znag008 is she in retail? retail is brutal. I did it for 10 years. There are many options though. Inpatient, amcare, geriatric, business, mail order, etc.
Although I'm not a pharmacist, all your suggested options are very close to retail settings minus customer interactions. You are still under metrics, filling, reviewing, under fast paced demanding environment. Do you have other suggestions?
@@Fishingbayarea
PA and pharmacist are not good routes. Burnout is too much. Retail pharmacy is the primary option for most pharmacy grads as well.
Hello Miki! It is impressive! I am also back to school right now in the US. I hope to meet you someday and teach Japanese! I'm Japanese and the process of transferring my Japanese RN license to the US. Actually Washington State.
Omg can you talk about a top 10 list of anime. I am currently loving solo leveling (read manga also), a sign of affection, buchigiri, apothecary diaries, sasaki and peeps, JJK, te weakest tamer, etc..
I am a paramedic in Australia (which means I have a degree). I am thinking of doing my masters in nursing so I can work as a dual registered. I have considered one day going for NP but it might be a bit later once I have more experience. I love working on this field as there is so much to learn - yoyre never doing the same thing
Im doing the same thing but with Mandarin! I learned 2 years of Mandarin in college and lost quite a bit. It's so inspiring to put yourself put there and commit to learning something you always had a passion in but never fully pursued.
your happiness is legit radiating in this!! 😄 so excited for you. i have been looking for an online japanese school i can enroll in here. do you still have the list of schools that was recommended?
Awesome Miki! What are you taking up now? It is refreshing to see young people like you being practical while being young at the same time..
I think you and Kevin are good role models. Please don'r stop being the bright and sunny Miki that WE ALL LOVE..❤
Great job Miki!!! Japanese is my first language and English is second. And they are completely opposite grammatical structure, so I get the struggle!! 頑張ってね！！応援してるよ！！
This video made me emotional! It home 🏠 more than I expected
Really enjoyed the video ❤❤ in 2024, I’m committed to learning computer science!!
That's amazing Miki!
I started learning Japanese this year too! Hope to be able to understand basic conversations by the end of the year!
totally agree with you about how well the year has been going; same here - definitely feel more happier and i'm actively been consistent with my habits (usually I'm only ever consistent for 2 weeks, so this feels great!!)
omg when i saw in this video you learning japanese again, i was like omg such coincidence because i pick up my japanese book again and told myself this year, i will commit to myself and learn japanese that i left off 3 years ago. I am so happy for you and I hope you make video of how you study Japanese.
Love your energy
I LOVE YOUR VIDS😭
Are you taking the taking the classes at the Japanese cultural and community center of Washington in Seattle? If so, I used to pass by that place all the time to go to Chinatown
Hi Miki! I am a first-year nursing student at the University of Alberta, aiming to becoming an RN! I just started my second semester & I'm loving every moment of it. What would be your top tips for succeeding in nursing school as it becomes academically more rigorous? Thank you and best wishes! 🙂
Ayeeee UofA!!!
Go for NP, have you heard the news, they’re planning on paying NPs $300,000 in Alberta, my mom’s an RN too and I always bring that up to her. I’m a first year science student at UofA ✌️
and here i am, I have 1 more year before i Graduate… 😅and it feelssss like forever 😂i cannot wait to work and earn $. school is ok but as an adult, i am so done with studying
@@Bagellatte I feel you, I just started and it still feels like forever
i am 13 years a nurse and Id say having hands on experience is so important. i have tinkered w the idea of NP school because im smart and hate sometimes the limitations as a RN. i am still thinking . i also preferred a downpayment for a house instead of more school. i realized school is great but i dont want to pay more money for higher ed. the cost benefit doesnt make sense. i will just be in a debt hole.
This news is soo cute and relatable :)
頑張ってください😆📣📝！
応援してます🥰
Competence leads to confidence 🌟
Learning sth new keeps ur brain active🌟
I'm first year nursing student em going to film my journey

Hi Miki-Chan🎀 I’m Japanese living in the U.S, and learning English every single day. 日本語の勉強がんばってください😊みきちゃんが日本語を話しているビデオ、とてもかわいいです🩷また作ってくださいね😊Also, as the principal said, your Japanese is already awesome👍🏻✨
That's awesome and very inspiring. I've also been wanting to continue learning a language I started a while back, Mandarin. Anyone know where I can learn this? Any good schools? I want to learn using the simplified Chinese characters.
You could contact a university college that teaches Mandarin.
7:38 2023 was so much better for me then 2020, 2021 & 2022
watching you learn Japanese inspires me to start learning Chinese :). Just no motivation
Kanji is so so so complicated but once you get to know them and memorise them, the power you feel in your hands when you can read japanese texts is impeccable. Good luck with your JLPT and school!
In the hospital from getting my appendix removed. Wish it was you and Kevin that was taking care of me
More social media personalities should do something like you did. Education/college series are really inspiring and cool for you and your followers. Since you graduated so long ago we never got a college period from you. When you complete this language course and then take advanced Japanese, maybe you could teach us some Japanese and/or Taiwanese in new videos or in a new separate channel dedicated to Asian language and culture. Great video! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🧧🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am 20, and I am a Taiwanese! Because I want to be an exchange student, I am now trying to learn English. This video just gave me a lot of inspiration. Thank you. Hope we can all move forward, being happy at the same time.❤
Best teachers I had were the ones that were brutally honest with their assessment of my capabilities.... and are the most challenging in the classroom....
so inspiring
I graduated college in 2017, so 7 years ago. I’m going back to grad school, for MS in criminal justice.
What kind of job do you want
I would have just gone for it anyways. Always move forward even against resistance. (Your prof not giving you a reference)
I need to do this with mandarin lol..I spent every saturday at Chinese school but I retained VIRTUALLY NOTHING
OMG YEAY ANOTHER LIFE UNFILTERED
Would you be able to disclose which school you're attending? I've been looking for Japanese classes to take online and am considering attending Coto Academy but it's so hard to really vet some of these places!
Im also studying while working
Would you say a MBA is a good degree but wasn't right for you? Would you consider getting your MBA?
Not gonna lie, I only want to learn Japanese just so I can understand anime without subtitles 😂
You should become an md !
Homeworks are not always predictable nowadays. There're weekly homeworks that took me 14 hours a day, 6 days a week to get them done. Sometimes it's due but i am at 70%, and i do this with full speed. Everything is elevated up. In the US, we have to be super women, super men just to survive 😅 😭😭😭
omg we need a collab with @Dogen 👀
You should learn fishing! Art of knot tying to cleaning fish is a lot to learn!
How long did it take you to study nursing? I’m looking into it and I’d like to know. :))
What is the name of the school? Do they offer French?
日本語喋ってるの可愛すぎー！I was born and raised in Japan and am currently in nursing school in Canada. I was also an RN back home ;) I wish we lived closer so we could be study friends! Enjoy learning Japanese ❤
What about business analyst / financial analyst certificate- it’s cheaper than an mba
cool I already updated some videos about basic Japanese of chapters 1 to 18 maybe I can help a little bit(?)
Wahafukin nerd 😂 love you ❤ my son is a nerd love lol
I wanna go back to Japanese language school 😭😭 but I want to learn korean, coz my bf is korean so i have to learn for his family
This is the reason why I learned History and Spanish. I wanted to be proficient in my cultural language so that I could better serve the Spanish-speaking communities here in the states.
❤
also does anyone know the pen she was using?? it was so smooth and pigmented.
It won’t let me link it but it’s the Pilot Mechanical Pencil Dr. Grip CL Play Boader
