- Thank you to EVERYONE for following my journey through other ports of social media while I was gone... I just wanted to keep this video short and sweet to let you guys know that my beginning point as a Registered Nurse was not easy at all. I was placed in some of the most challenging and scariest moments of my life as a nurse and I'm here to share that with you in hopes of encouraging YOU that it will not be easy, but you must NEVER GIVE UP. I love you all, thank you again for watching and for all your love and support. xoxo - Rona

HI MY BEAUTIFUL NURSING FRIENDS!!!! I MISSED YOU GUYS!!!!.... Please ask me any questions in the comment section below for a NEW upcoming video! I will create a QUESTION/ANSWER video and would LOVE to share your questions with everyone!!! Thank you again for following me on this crazy ride ahahah! LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH
You are awesome! I followed ur nclex videos. I am an old nurse. Was a CCRN, took time off with kids for 10 years. Returned via a Return to Nursing program and had to write the NCLEX! !!! ahhhh!!!!!! I am Canadian and had heard about the NCLEX way back in the 90's when I graduated, from fellow nurses wanting to work in the USA. Omg I was in full panic mode and delayed my test a week. Then I found ur videos. A huuuuuge confidence booster! I wrote the exam. Was so bummed out. Went home and started studying for a rewrite. Nothing I studied was on my questions. I wanted to scream. I knew my gases and electrolytes and Parkinsons and myasthenia gravis and...I knew nothing at the exam....then I got an email....I passed! When that computer turned off at 75 questions I swear I knew I failed. But I passed! In 75 questions! And u were such a motivation! ! so thank you!!!. From an ooold nurse. So for anyone who is told experience doesn't help. It does. And hang in there. Chin up. March on. It takes about 5 years to get a good solid foundation of skills and confidence. You Go Girl!!!
Hi u give me cardiac questions.
Could you make a video about different nursing shifts? It's possible to choose how many hours you work and how many days you get free? I have heard some have 8 hrs shift, others 12 hours.
I would appreciate information about schedules and I am glad you are back! ❤️ all the best
Did you know that someone stole your identity and is passing your name and photos around the internet ? Just wanted to let you know that I received a photo of you with someone using your name and photos today !
I just found your channel and see that you haven’t posted for FOUR YEARS!🥺 You are such an awesome person! Thank you for being so generous and helpful and vulnerable with us! I pray all is awesome in your world, no matter what path you’re traveling. Love and blessings on your journey!🙏💗💫
I remember watching your videos years ago. I'm so glad you're back! It's so encouraging to see how much as happened the past couple of years. I earned my BSN, RN. Thanks again for your advice :)
I'm a huge fan and so grateful to have you back! You're amazing in every sense of the word and can't get enough of you so definitely ecstatic to have you back sweetie!!
Hey Rona ;)
I'm so happy to see that you're doing well and that you're loving your job and night shift crew! I honestly appreciate you taking some time for yourself and sitting on the job before posting videos because for sure I would be anxious and questioning my decision to be in nursing school if I heard you were (confirmation bias!). And thank you thank you for planning to be a great preceptor that takes a new grad/nursing student under your wing! We will surely appreciate it, your desire to be better already means you are in my book.
You're amazing, please keep us updated!! 💖💖💖💖
Question: what is your schedule like weekly?
Woah, Rona! I learned so much from your videos and I plan on re-watching them now that I'm starting my program this Fall. I'm glad you're back. I hope we get to see more of you.

Hi Rona!! I followed you from the time I needed to learn about how to pass my psych nursing semester, I'm now an RN and will graduate with my bachelors this fall. I'm not working yet, and I really appreciate this new perspective of what it's like to be an RN in action. Thanks so much for sharing what your experience has been ... ..❤️
Yay!! I'm sooo glad you are back! I watched you through my nursing school journey and couldn't wait to get all the tips for the new grad nurse... and then you vanished 😔. I look forward to advice on the struggles of fitting in with the older nurses that give you the evil eye LOL when you just have questions. yessss. I aggravated them through nursing school and now I suppose I'm aggravating them as the new nurse... ugh. By the way, thanks so much for the nclex video you made way back when and offered your notes! They helped me alot 😊.
Hey Rona, I wanted to tell you thank you for your channel. I passed nursing school and NCLEX years back. You were an inspiration to me. Thanks again. ❤️🌹😊
Yay!! So glad your back. I just graduate nursing school in May of this year !! I just started my new grad nursing job this week and boy is it overwhelming. We have so many many classes to take and things to get done.
Thank you!! Congrats on landing a new job! I know is super overwhelming at times, but YOU CAN DO THIS!!! :) Hang in there!
Rona, I watched all your videos when applying, now I am starting my second semester of nursing school and boy am I glad that you're back! You are making such a difference in people's educational journey and you really are an inspiration!
Aaah Im soooo glad your back!!!! Thank you for your honesty!!!😊
Thank you so much!!! xoxo!!!
Hi Rona!! Sometimes I feel so alone in this journey as a new nurse. like I'm the only one that struggles at times. I know that's not true and we all struggle as new nurses. Hearing your journey gives me faith that each new day will get better. I'm glad that you are talking about this issue because its something we should be talking about! there needs to be more support for new nurses... Thank you so much for this video!
It's great to see you back with videos!! We've really missed you (and your kitchen background :) ) Well, first I want to say thank you for all the videos and time you take to make them, they're so inspiring and always help us at any moment. I also love you personality and that joy you put on them even when this journey may be difficult but also beautiful and your videos make us learn a lot. Thank you very much for all your work and advices and just a pair of questions, hope you can answer them:
- Any advice in how to manage scary or stressing situations?
- Which kind of patients are the most difficult to treat? Like kids, grown-ups, elders.
Thanks a lot and I hope you continue improving in this wonderful journey and also, whenever you have enough time, hope you continue with your videos :)
Love your name 😉 new to you and am excited to see what you have..stay strong!! ❤️
It's nice to see you making RUclips videos again! I would definitely love you as a preceptor when I graduate nursing school lol! Will you start making advice videos for student nurses? Especially those entering their first semester like me haha :)
Hi Rona, Good to see u after so long. Bundle of best wishes for your future endeavors 😊👍💐
God bless !!
you are awesome in so many ways. I'm sorry that you had such a hard time at your last job. I know what it's like. you seem happy now. I am hoping it stays that way. I am depressed and stressed right now trying to study for the pharmacy tech. exam. you made me feel better. thanks.
Yay! You're back! :) New Grad! 🙌 4 months in, Night shift! 🙌 Would love any tips
You're so funny! I missed your videos!! I hope to have a good experience as a new grad! I start work in two weeks! eeeek
Yay!!!!!!! I'm sooooo glad your back!!!
SOO HAPPY YOUR BACK!!!
Hey Rona! I followed you through nursing school the same time I was trying to swim through my program. I'm on a skilled nursing unit. Welcome to the dark side aka night shift!! I began on nights!! I felt a lot like you and some of my family didn't understand my nerves and depression. Its quite an adjustment. Initially I felt I had so much on my shoulders I questioned if I even liked nursing. I realize that was just part of discovering what kind of nurse I am. Now I know there's no question that I love nursing. I look forward to more learning and finding the position that will fit me best!!! Thank you for being so real about the stress and letting us know it's ok to feel this way as long as we address it. Love you girl! You were meant to be the best nurse!! You helped me!
Thank you Rona for sharing your personal experience. I'm a new nurse here.
Yay you're back! I just graduated nursing school and this couldn't have come at a better time. :)
Omg congrats to you! So happy to hear that!! :)
I feel you! I can totally relate. Thanks for being so honest. All the nursing RUclipsrs are all, "I love every single part of Nursing, it's the best Job ever." There are so many things that need to be fixed. Feb 2018 makes 3 years for me. I does get a little better after the first 2 years. I know for sure I don't want to be a nurse forever. Currently I am loving my job as a neonatal/ infant pediatric nurse.
hey rona glad to see you back. i remember asking you on snap to come back!
I love my night shift crew, too!!!! Having a great team backing you up when you are all having a tough shift is amazing! I work in nursery and we get busy!!! It's tough taking care of those babies especially when you are charge and have to make sure everything is in order and tasks that need to be done are done! But I love my job and love being a nurse even after those crazy, tough nights! Lol
So glad you are back!!
I'm so sorry to hear that you had to pass through this such a tough period. I SO understand you. A few years ago I was in the same situation:I was at the university,shortly after my graduation from high school. I was taking the career of a Dental Hygienist. I studied hard and a lot of time and still though I couldn't pass 2 very important exams which came prior to clinics. I was broken,disappointed,tired and depressed .After pretty long time that I was in this condition regretfully I had to quit because I couldn't anymore. It was really hard to get to take the decision of leaving but after a while I saw that it's not so bad. Now I'm looking to something new. I'm going to try and be accepted once more to university,to another career. Hopefully this time everything will end differently and all will be fine. I'm glad to hear that you haven't given up. You're such a great inspiration to so many people. Keep going!
Awwww Rona!! Missed you girl! ❤😘
Omg your back yay!!!!!!❤️ I love you so much girl you have no idea . Your spirit and energy is so contagious I can't get enough lol . I'm currently in OB and I sometimes underestimate my knowledge. I get really good grades but, I feel that I won't be smart enough or have the ability to be a great nurse on the floor if that makes sense. Did you have that feeling lol ? ( Just finished watching you video and saw you went thru my worst fear , being thrown out in the field like a lost puppy as a new grad)I look at nurses and am like how do you just know what to do (I guess experience)I mean school helps but during clinicals nurses don't really let you do much 🙁. How do you feel school prepares you as a nurse? P.S snoopy is so cute and such a team player in you IG stories 😊
Thank you soooo much for your kind words and for following along with my journey! YESSS I totally know what you mean! Hahah! I still feel like that at times myself, however with time I feel that we will too be strong nurses on the floor and pass on our knowledge to the next generation of nurses. We still have all the time and years ahead of us to grow and to learn :) Snoopy enjoys all the attention he gets hehehe ;)
Thank you for replying 😊 I have a few more questions lol
Top five things you wished you knew about nursing?
Also did you volunteer during school? I want to start so I can build up my portfolio but I don't have time. When you did interviews where they looking to see if you volunteered during school?
Hey love bug 😊 just wanted to say thank you so much for all your content!!
Life update, I graduated nursing school🙏 and got into a DOU new grad program 🤗 I start in 6 days and I'm going crazy lol I'm so nervous and decided what can I do to distress and that was to rewatch your videos. Love your positivity and energy!! Also congrats on your engagement 💜
Rona!!!! Girl, you are part of the Best of the Best of youtube. authentic, humble, earthy and spiritual! you helped me get through school, been out on the floor for just over 1.5 years. short staffed, the struggle is real! but there is nowhere else I'd rather be. welcome back OG!
p.s I started on day shift too right out of nursing school and I don't regret it but recently moved to nights and what's really cool about it if you learn a whole different set of skills
Thank you sooo much!! You are so sweet!
im glad to see you backkkkkk :)
Hey Rona! So happy to see you back! I've watched your videos while I was getting my BSN, and you have been a huge help in my own success, so thank you! I have been a nurse almost 2 years now, and I can feel your struggle! I feel like when I've watched this video you were looking into my situations as well... haha. Totally relatable. Sometimes we all need some time to mature and figure out our lives. It would be unfortunate to see you all depressed in your videos... as you've said! You came back at the right time. You seem like you're figuring it all out in this nursing world. I am still trying to figure out some things on my own, I started out in ER for 6 months, left there, and am also in Med-Surg/Tele. From here, not sure what's next but I do also have a great team at my side right now. Best wishes and so glad to see you again!
So nice to see you back Rona ♥️ I remember I would watch your videos before I got into nursing school. After graduating nursing school I watched your NCLEX prep videos. I passed the NCLEX with your help! I watched your nursing portfolio video in preparation for my first nursing interview. I got the job and I am currently working my first job as a Neuro nurse! I can't thank you enough ♥️♥️♥️
Wow! Thats so amazing! How do you like it!? And thank you kindly for following along this journey with me! :)
thank you for sharing realness, as a new nurse, it can definitely be challenging especially when you are in a non ideal situation. We missed you 😉
Also sooooo excited you're back!!!
Hey Rona!!! Hope all is well with you you!! I miss you on RUclips!
welcome back!!!!
I work on a MedSurg Tele floor as a CNA! This will probably be my first job as a nurse! Your positivity in the light of all this is amazing! "Keep swimming", love it.
Nice to see you've overcome your challenges and kept such an optimistic perspective on everything! Congrats on your ongoing success, Rona!
Thank you so much!
You're a wonderful person Rona , thank you for simply being who you are 😍😘
I liked before I watched the video lol, welcome back!
Hahaha! Aww thank you so much! xoxo! :)
That is true, there's no perfect hospital/workplace but if you got a great crew, daaaamn we all be ballin'!!! Nursing is a stressful job hell yeah!!! But it is wonderful when you save lives. A very rewarding profession! ☺
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I watched your older videos for support all the time... Currently I'm in nursing school going 3rd semester. Yeah love your videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you sooo much for following along my journey!! Means a lot! xoxo :)
You are such an inspiration!! I love how you are down to earth and funny. I am fairly new to your channel and am looking forward to watching your other videos. I am a new grad getting ready to to take the NCLEX RN. We were told as a class not to submit any applications for jobs untill we pass the NCLEX. I know of other schools who gave different advice telling students to start applying early with some getting job offers contigent on passing the NCLEX. I have not applied for any jobs as of yet but I have been looking in my area to see what type of openings there are. It seems that jobs for new nurses are very few and far between. Almost every job opening I have come across are asking for at least one year of experience. This has me worried that I may have difficulty finding a job as a new RN. My question to you is how hard was it for you to land your first job as a new grad? Did you encounter any difficulties? If so what advice can you give.
You have a light about you..look forward to more videos.
Thank you for making this video Rona! I can definitely relate to the anxiety in my first year as a new nurse. Your video gives me hope that it gets better! For Q&A How did you cope with the anxiety, depression? What are ways you were able to come out of that? Was it by switching jobs or with time?
Yes it definitely is something we need to discuss, especially in our line of care. Thank you so much for your questions, will be adding this to my next video! Hang in there! We will get through this together!
Yaaaaaaay you're back!! 😎🎉
Here's a question!:
How did you stay motivated during your final stretch of nursing school? I'm a senior now and just trying to keep swimming 🤣 I make good grades but it sure does take all of my mental energy lol! Just looking for ways to find that high motivation level I had during my freshman year. Helpppp 💕
Heyy i loveee your content i hope you come back!!
Oh my, I was so scared and was only able to last 6 weeks, I was nurse bullied and became very depressed and to this day I am still scared. I am not doing bedside currently and would love to get back into it for the experience. I feel like I am too old though. I admire you.
Hooray!!! I thought you were gonna be gone forever!
Wow Rona.. What a story
welcome back... we really missed u
Your hair is beautiful as you are ❤️🤗
good to have you back
Today I randomly thought "What happened to Rona?" and I see you made a video! its great to see you make videos! You are an inspiration :)
No wayyyy! Perfect timing ey? Haha! Thank you soo much for the love Jennifer! xoxo! :)
Hi Rona, I am a new Follower to your RUclips channel. Love you for being so Honest and pretty thankful to you for exploring About NCLEX Program in your previous Videos... God Bless
thanks & Regards
Glad to have you back! I got offered a med surg night shift position; not to sure if I should accept. How do you manage night shift? Do you sleep different on your days off or continue to sleep during the day?
I hope you are having a great time as an RN :)
Hi Rona! I completely understand the emotions and why you left youtube. I am a new grad and just finishing up precepting in my new grad program on med surg-tele on days. I cried everyday after work and I was so depressed on my days off and was so unhappy. I thought how this was not what I signed up for and I felt overwhelmed, stressed, unhappy and depressed and Ive only been working for 6 months! But i recently sat down with my manager and asked him to switch me to the night shift and I am finally starting to gain happiness again and not be depressed and no more panic attacks during the day. I am able to learn at such a better pace and my mental health is becoming healthy again. Im still adjusting to being up all night and tired on my days off, but Id much rather be up all night than to be a new grad back on the day shift on a med/surg floor with 5 patients. I am hanging in there and I wish more people would have prepared me for what to expect as a new grad on a med surg tele floor during the day shift and how I was not the only one crying and feeling depressed thinking is this what nursing is? Thank you for sharing, it is good to know I am not the only one with a similar experience. Be blessed :)
Thank you, it's important to take time to send the message from a positive place.
What are the top 5 tips you can give new grad nurses who are starting their first job as an RN? I got a job on an Integrated Stroke and Rehab unit, which I will be starting soon. I'm really nervous. Your tips can definitely help! Thanks Rona!! So good to see you back in the game 😉❤️
Haha thank you sooo much!! Congrats on your new job! So awesome!! And thank you for your question! May be a good video idea ;)
Thank you!! and yes that would be great, too! :D
Please never delete your RUclips page!!! It has saved me on tones of stress!!!❤️❤️❤️😊 please and thank you!!!!
HI Rona, I've been watching since you started and I still have yet to finish, will be getting an acceptance/denial letter soon. I have a question, what made you want nights or did you just have to being a new grad!
missed you and your kitchen lol
q/ What is the best department to work in? why? 🤔

Glad your back!!!
Thank you sooo much!! xoxo :)
Would you ever consider doing travel nursing?
Hey Rona! Welcome back! 😊 how long did you go to nursing school for ?
congratulations.
I vow to keep the promise,,,,,, Nora
So I was supposed to graduate in May 2017, however I failed nur 206 last fall and had to repeat in the spring... passed and about to pass nur 216 final tomorrow and start my last (short) semester in the fall get pinned nov 5th. I'm a little scared due to some issues with the school I won't be able to test for nclex until mid January or feb. However I will be starting a position at my job (currently I'm a cna/ unit secretary) on a oncology med surg overflow I'll be star what is called a nurse student extern so I will be getting on the job training before I graduate and start my RN training. But like I said I'm scared because I have a lot of time between end of school and nclex... advice
So cute and talk as well
I want see more videos from your channel you are so kind and beautiful
i missed u so much ! i m pakistani RN
Welcome back, DON'T LEAVE AGAIN... Just kidding (not really) we missed you. Everyone has obstacles and we truly understand. So glad you are working some where you enjoy. What do you do for fun?
Please come back again!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Starting Maternity and Psych rotation!
I hope you make a video about what's inside your purse as a nurse :D
Hey girl!! I was just wondering how well does the Pearson View trick work? I got the bad pop up and I have been stressing because everyone said it means I failed the Nclex. I took the test on Thursday afternoon and this weekend is holiday weekend!! So I'm not sure one way or another!! How long did it take you to get a response the first time you took the Nclex? Thanks
@HeyRona are you from California?
Hello Rona. I am a Canadian ESL teacher, teaching English to nursing students in the Sultanate of Oman. Is it possible that I could make a request for a topic for one of your videos? Please please. Could you possibly make a video about your experiences working as a nurse in the first few months (or year). I would like to show students all the different types of problems they might experience when they start working. I don't mean specific medical issues, but simple stuff like problems with patients, difficulties with experienced nurses, communication problems, working shifts, trouble juggling family, friends and work, etc. etc. I am NOT a nurse so I have no idea what problems you encounter. I appreciate the videos you are making, I know they are helping a lot of nursing students out there. If you can help me, thanks in advance. Thanks for being a nurse...you're our heros. :) Kelly
😂😂😂 the meme!!
Hahaha YASSS! xoxo!
I'm curious as to what is your nurse:patient ratio on the DOU you work on?
Are you coming back to RUclips?
you love nursing and also nersuing love you..isnt it? :))
I loved this video!!! I'm a clinical instructor and like your vids for them. And you're right, take them under your wing. Maybe you should get a masters in education!!
Are you going to post the NCLEX notes and charts?? because the link doesn't really work anymore
