    Hey Luvvvs,
    Welcome back to another weekly vlog! In today's video I am bringing y'all along with me to my very ever first clinical (super exciting), as well as how I cope with failing an exam. This semester has been pretty challenging, but we will get through it!
    Love y'all as always,
    Mikala Lyne

    I've been a nurse for 27 years and some days, you will question why you chose this career. But in your nursing journey you will come to love some of your patients and that simple 'thank you nurse' will make you feel so good.Just know that you will not remember everything but before you do anything always,always double check. Don't ever assume. I wish you all the best in your nursing career and hope to see RN behind your name😊

    I'm about to graduate from an accelerated MSN program, and the thing that has brought me the most success is rewriting notes and talking the material through with classmates until we feel good about it. Whenever you're answering NCLEX-style questions, always go with your gut! Do not go back and change answers. For questions about prioritizing care just think about it as if you can only enter the patient's room once, what would be the one thing you do? YOU CAN DO THIS! I failed my first med-Surg exam, and I will be graduating with a 3.9 this coming December. It's overwhelming but manageable. No one will ask about your grades after you have that RN after your name!!

    I love how you read your devotional and make your bed in the AM. I’m getting better at making my bed every morning 🫢 & reading my devotionals.

    I just finished my first semester and understand what you are going through. Fundamental was a struggle for me but I made it through. Amen! My School is doing ATI and that exam was hard. But you can make it through! I am about to start level 2 next week.

    I’m currently in semester 1 and you’re making me excited and anxious all at once. I hope you pass your exams girl! You motivating a lot of new students like me to keep pushing thru ❤️

    You may think that you don't like Med-Surg now but that may change. Never say never. Don't give up !!! You will have days that exhaust you and bring you to tears. Other days will be so satisfying. Nursing is a calling ,not a career. I am a retired nurse. I loved it. Fyi you have no idea how much more you will learn after school. Your school will give you a good idea what is coming but some of it is not how it is done in all the hospitals. Your enthusiasm and that smile will help you. Good Luck and Do Not Give Up!!!!!!!!!

      @Yes you're correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves, try studying if you can't study then get yourself a good help

    wow Mikayla, you are such a beautiful soul. I have come across your channel a few times and always enjoy, but this time I am here to stay and am about to subscribe. So good to know that you are a Pk, well I suppose, since your dad preached. I am here to watch your journey and to become apart of the community you have built. Thank you for your transparency. I am taking pharm right now and can resonate with your feelings and praying I pull through well for the third exam. Okay I am about to binge watch your videos lol

  • @cierra_laquin

    Nice vlog! Finishing my last week of an accelerated BSN program. This has been a struggle but I made it! You can rock it too!

  • @champaynemarte9011
    @champaynemarte9011 Před 2 lety +1

    Sis ! I was a nursing assistant for about 2-3 years off and on. It helps with knowing how to handle patients of all types! But let me tell yooouu!!! Those wounds baby! They give a really sour smell so brace yourself; also keep in mind they are human just like us and need help. So when you see them, try your best not to say “eww” or “it stinks” 🥺it’s hurtful. I know it may seem obviously but I’ve heard all types of mean things from peers and nurses thankfully I am becoming a LPN so I can help be that change I wish others would be. Hopefully you can too 🫶🏾♥️

    @jshacorro Před 2 lety

    Hey from a new grad to a new student don’t worry about the first exam it’s always ruff because you’re being introduced to a while new testing style. Find little mnemonics that help you remember key pieces of information. Don’t get discouraged. Nursing school is literally a roller coaster. Utilize your resources. YOU GOT THIS❤️

  • @indiajackson7349
    @indiajackson7349 Před 2 lety +1

    Don’t stress hun God has gotten you too far for you to feel like this isn’t for you or any of that, I hope you passed your HESI exam & my prayers go out to you because you expire me so much… keep doing what you’re doing I hope to be in your shoes soon🙏🏾💕💕

    You need to get some hokas! They are a little pricey and the sole looks a bit chunky but I swear they are so worth it, my feet have NEVER hurt even after 10 hour clinical days, & they have a specific shoe for nursing school that is all white and liquid resistant :)

  • @auroraautumn8764
    @auroraautumn8764 Před 2 lety

    I’ve always opt for student nurse, both genders. Students need the experience to become professionals. I thought I would say during my first child birth, but surprisingly I wanted students to learn. I also hoped the doctors / senior nurses would take caution being that students were shadowing .

    It’s crazy how they don’t let some students on the Covid floor just 1 hour to see what it could be like when they start working. They sure will float a nurse to Covid floor from a non Covid floor. Nobody safe if they floating nurses. At my hospital we had non Covid pt on a non Covid floor come back with Covid 😒. I know you happy you don’t have to deal with it.

    • @accountforwastingtime
      @accountforwastingtime Před 2 lety

      It probably has more to do with the school- I'm sure the hospital would love to have anyone they could on that covid floor. The school prob doesn't want to risk a covid breakout among the nursing students since they really don't have the time to have a bunch of students out sick.
