- Опубликовано: 12 апр 2022
- We are officially halfway through my third semester of nursing school and that means it's time for another week in my life. This week we play a bit of catch up, finally get some new hair, take two exams, start a new clinical rotation, help Doug, and celebrate my mom's birthday with some incredible food. Thanks for coming along for the ride...how your week is going as smoothly as possible.

hiii! some advice i have as a frequent patient is to always introduce yourself to the patient even in rounds and to always tell them what you are doing! even if it is just vitals! i know that seems pretty simple but it is the little things! especially having so many people in and out it is just nice to know who you are!! i am sure you are going to make a great nurse!!
THIS 👏 such an important reminder thanks Katelyn!
your hair looks so good!! (also we've all missed miss Katie)
Aww thank you! & I have too
Hello Kiara, on your graduation video I replied and you answered to me, and it was the kindest of answers! Your words had an impact on me.
You have been "there" when the people that were supposed to be there weren't, you helped through my battle against depression, your videos bring me immense joy, I really want you to know that you are loved AND HAVE AN IMPACT ON PEOPLE!!
love from portugal
oh my gosh you're going to make me cry! You have done it all yourself & should be so proud...I just feel lucky to be along for the ride. Never forget how strong you are. Sending you love ❤️
I’ve definitely had vastly different experiences in clinical depending on the nurse that I’m with. But some things I always try and do that usually help is to let my nurse know I’m here to help them in any way I can and to check in with them throughout the day, to check on their patients often to see if there are any small tasks I can do instead of the nurse having to worry about them, check in with the other nurses and CNA’s to see if they need any help as well or if there are any nursing tasks I can practice with them (finally got to do a catheter last week and I wouldn’t have had the opportunity if I didn’t ask!), and lastly going into rooms with my fellow students if they need help with something or there is something I can watch i.e watching them start an IV or helping them bathe or move a patient. Remember that while sometimes it feels like we are unhelpful or like we are a burden to our nurse, we are their extra hands right now and when we seek out those opportunities it can make it better for everyone! Also it was your first clinical day and it’s totally okay to feel the way you do, I hope the next one leaves you feeling helpful and wanted in the hospital!!
Aww thank you Sarah! I love these ideas...hopefully when I get to know the nurses on the unit more I can bounce around more too and help others out if my nurse is on break!
I love it when the person at the salon washes my hair, it's so relaxing and they do so well at cleaning the hair lmao. We love when Doug makes an appearance in the vlogs haha! Ya'll are so cute!
Same! It feels so so good ❤️
Summer officially starts next Wednesday for me and I can not wait!!! I’m ready for some rest and sun ❤️
Happy Belated Birthday to your mom. I cannot wait to see the treehouse. I’m so happy for you with starting on your nursing clinical.
Thanks Amanda ❤️
Love this and your last video..keep up the good work Kiara! 🙌🏽

Love your week in my life videos! I came up to Portland from Eugene last Thursday and the warm air/sun felt so nice! I'm looking forward to future concerts and spending time with people I love & care about who live up in Portland.
So fun! I agree...this snowy week has been interesting, I know there is more sunshine to come!
@@KiaraMadisen Yes! We love the sunshine, especially when it comes time for some boat rides!
Way to go, Kiara 👏👏✨ Hard and consistent work always pays off. You look amazing and really happy. Greetings from Spain!💖
Aww thank you! Miss Spain ❤️

Congratulations on doing so well on your test 🫶🏻
Thank you!! 😊
Hey Kiara! I am going to be a sophomore in college with my major in Nursing, and your videos help give me a glimpse into my life in the future! Also I was wondering what products you use in the morning for your skincare routine (it looks like you use a tinted sunscreen and I've been hunting for a new one for months)! Thanks for sharing your life with us, we all love it
Hey Kiara, your hair looks beautiful 💓
Thank you!!
OMG Im in love with your long videos 💕
Aww yay! I'll have to make more!
in the next month, I have two concerts that I’m so looking forward to seeing!! so excited but also trying to enjoy this period of spring!
Love that so much! I've been trying to go to more concert especially when I find cheap tickets!
Going on vacationnnnnnnn in less than a month, my first real break since Christmas and I am so so excited :) Hope you enjoy your trip as well!!

Aww thanks Cassandra! Best of luck on all your work...hope you have something fun to look forward to once it's done!
Good luck, am so happy for you
Thank you so much!
love love loved this vlog !!! starting my accelerated program in june and am so nervous to juggle school work again after a year off after my undergrad & watching you organize your social life and school AND work on social media gives me so much relief ! ALSO i am 90% sure your clinical day was at my work!
Wait that's so cool! I'm so excited for you to start...I know it seems impossible now, but when you're getting through each week and looking back on how much you accomplished, you're just going to be so proud and empowered to keep going!
@@KiaraMadisen at this point im most nervous to just START.. the anticipation is what’s getting to me 😂
I get to see my best friends soon, what makes it more exciting is that we've not been in the same room all together for nearly 2 1/2 years now because of covid. I can't wait!!!! Glad to see everything is going well for you girl! x
aww that makes me so happy! You guys are going to have the best time...a big group hug is definitely called for!
Great Video
That sounds like a blast!
I'm sorry to hear your first day in the hospital wasn't that great... I hope you will find your place and flow and the next days will be better!
Luckily the last couple weeks I've had the best preceptors thank goodness!
I’m going to see Hamilton within the next month and I’m sooo excited!
That sounds like a blast! Have fun :)
Taking my TEAS test. Super exciting especially since I’m back in school in my 40’s for nursing.
Ahh you got this! Keep pushing for your dream to become a reality! Lots of steps, but it will pay off (literally) in the end!
Love your videos! By the end of the month I’m moving to Arizona for nursing school 😊❤️
That is so exciting! Hope you enjoy studying in the sunshine!!
I am finishing up my first trimester of OT school at the end of the month! Feels so surreal and it flew by! Going to visit knock off some national parks off my bucket list during our 2 week break!
So glad you are going on a trip to celebrate such a big accomplishment! Congrats on making it through...the rest of semesters are going to fly by too!
Thank you for always being my favorite video to watch on a much needed break from work! I am going to the wedding of one of my oldest friends at the end of the month!! We've known each other for probably 20 years and I get to travel out of state for the weekend to see the ceremony. Have a good day sweet girl!!
What a special moment! Hope you have the best time...thanks for watching & commenting!
I'm supposed to be defending my Masters thesis in the next few weeks (may have to push it off for another month...) AND presenting a study at this big scary conference around the same time- your videos help me feel a little less stressed and inspire me to get my ass in gear! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us :)
Such big accomplishments! I know it much feel overwhelming, but you can achieve it one step at a time...you go girl ❤️
At the end of this month, I am finishing my BA in Creative Writing! so excited to be done with uni. It's so fun following your journey, I've been here since your first move in vlog in uni and I know your gonna be an amazing nurse Kiara!
Ahh congrats on graduating! That is such a big accomplishment & I hope you are planning some fun things to do to celebrate all of your hard work! Thanks for watching & for the sweet comment ❤️
This video was so realistic and fun to watch! I'm moving to Wyoming to work on a ranch at the end of this month!
I love it Erin! Hope you have the best time!
@@KiaraMadisen Oh my goodness thank you!! :)
I don't know why I haven't seen your videos in a while but I'm really glad I watched this :D So good to be back!
So happy to have you back ❤️
I love your videos soooo much and good luck❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching them!
yes! love the video!
I'm so glad! ❤️😘
The weather in Portland looks good. We had a tornado warning, a fire watch, and a thunderstorm warning all in one day yesterday in Omaha. We also the sirens for tornados go off because of tornado warning and we had seek shelter 🥺🥺. I guess one thing that I am excited about in the next month is moving into my apartment style room on campus and summer preview where we get to meet the students from Class of 2026. Also, your and yours friends hair looks good.
Thank you! And don't worry you're not alone suffering from this crazy weather...it has been snowing and hailing in April all week here...what a mess 😂 Congrats on your move! I am so excited for you to decorate and settle into your new space!
kiara! i recently just found out i got accepted into 2 bsn programs! i kept doubting myself but it finally happened, i love watching your videos and seeing you on your journey
Ahhh you go girl!! Best of luck on you decision, proud of you...that is such an accomplishment!
So random but your food for work looks sooo good. 😍
thank you! It really was delish.
I totally get the clinical experience thing, definitely depends on what nurse I get. Hopefully as you gain more experience you feel like you can help out more and feel less in the way(such a universal nursing student feeling lol)! I always find that creating relationships with the NAs on the floor makes a huge difference, they can be a big help when the nurses are overwhelmed. Wishing you luck on this rotation! You got this :)
Aww thank you! And yes I love the CNAs...made respect for them & when I was doing my CNA clinical they were way better teachers haha
I’ve definitely had my fair share of nurses who didn’t want a student. I had one unit make me draw straws to see who I was stuck with :(
But thankfully, I’ve also had some amazing nurses that were willing to let me help out a lot! I’ve found that the more things I do to proactively help out, the more they trust me and are willing to teach me. I’ve also had some nurses who need a break so I’ll ask if I can observe a procedure or learn a skill from another nurse
It's always such a toss up! Luckily this week I got the BEST nurse. So grateful for her ❤️
It's always so nice to get to catch up with you in your vlogs, Kiara! Watching you be productive always motivates me to be productive, too! I'm excited because my last day of school is tomorrow and my mom told me I could take the summer off, and barring my two exams at the end of the month I'll officially be on summer vacation tomorrow! I can't wait to sleep and become nocturnal for who knows how long
I am so excited for you! Sounds like you deserve this break and can actually relax! Proud of you & a bit jealous you're already on summer break 😂
@@KiaraMadisen It has always stunned me how late your university goes, it goes as late as my high school did lmao. I couldn't imagine having classes until June. I don't know how I managed my high school schedule...
I know it's so funny how late we end and start!!
Your hair looks amazing! 💇🏼♀️💇🏼♀️💇🏼♀️
Thank you!!
@@KiaraMadisen You should be on the cover of Vogue! 😜
I'm excited for my mom to come visit me! She is back in Mexico and I'm a student in the US. SO excited to spend Mother's day with her!!
Aww stop I'm so excited for you guys! Hope you have the best time together!
@@KiaraMadisen Thank you so much, Kiara!!!
4 days to go before Easter, Kiara!🐣🐣
So much to look forward to!
We love the iconic duo that is Doug and Kiara!
Dream duo ❤️
more so the beginning of this month , I am starting my new job in the hospital as a health care coordinator ❤ I'm so excited just got my parking pass and all of my labs done today
Omg you are amazing!! So excited for you, congrats!
@@KiaraMadisen thank you so much :)
When you were talking about how warm it was there for April I had to laugh because I’m literally in the middle of snowstorm right now! Like, everything is canceled everywhere today and lots of schools and universities have already canceled tomorrow as well. It’s kind of fun until you realize that the snow was just over halfway gone and now it’s going to take another month to melt 🤦🏼♀️ lol. Love the new hair and hope you are all having a great week! ❤️
Lol this video was filmed last week and two days ago it snowed in Portland! The weather is a roller coaster right now 😂 Hope the sun comes out and melts all the snow soon so you can enjoy spring & summer...thanks for watching Scarlett!
@@KiaraMadisen Weather is one of the most unpredictable things in the world 😂 I just have to learn to deal with it!
I am graduating with my masters in civil engineering in 1 month! Your videos are always the perfect transition for me to watch during lunch while I shift from working to being a student.
Ahhh Claire! Congrats! So hyped for you epppppp
7:41 and 14:46 made my lil heart happy
At the end of this month I will be done with my BA in psychology and will begin working at the children’s psychiatric hospital. I’ll also be spending the next couple of months applying to graduate school. A lot is happening 😊
A season of exciting change! You go girl... we need more people in children's psych!
I'll be graduating in May with my undergrad in Criminal Justice! Super excited and looking forward to my next chapter and being done with school (for a little while, at least)! xx
That is so amazing! You go girl...hope you have plans to celebrate!
I am excited to get my lashes tinted, nails done, and hair done in the beginning of May. It makes me feel like a full person again when I do this stuff lol.
we love the self care 👏👏
First time watching you and I really enjoyed the video.
One exciting thing happening is that am graduating from uni
That's so exciting! Congrats & thanks for watching!
I see you reside in PDX!!! I live here too and a this fall or winter start nursing student :) positive vibes to you...just found your channel not too long ago. Small world ❤
That's amazing! It's such a beautiful place to live :) Hope you love your program ❤️
I’ll be moving to Arizona for 3 months for my second PT clinical rotation! Btw, hope your clinical gets better… I know nurses are so stressed right now. ❤️
So exciting! Enjoy the sunshine! I went yesterday and got the best nurse ever thank goodness!
Happy Birthday Kiara's Mom ;)
She says thank u!!
Hi Kiara! This month I’m looking forward to moving to a new apartment on Friday, my birthday is on the 30th, and preparing for my trip to Maui in May (which was my college graduation gift)
This is your month Danielle! Congrats on graduating and the new apartment (DM me pics on insta!!) and happy almost birthday! Soak up all these big memories! ❤️
My baby will be born within the next month and I can’t wait to meet him! Also I graduate nursing school!! Loved the vlog girl!
Oh my goodness congrats!! So many big things happening!
For the question of the day, I’m most excited about finishing nursing school this month! 18 days left!
18!!!! Anna!! I'm so excited for you! Get ready to celebrate! 👏🥳
Can I just say it is so nice to see you be less hard on yourself when it comes to studying, test taking, etc. In undergrad, it really seemed like you pushed yourself hard to get perfect grades and often felt guilty for enjoying yourself. At least that's how it came off to the "outside" sometimes! Seeing you just do your best and be satisfied with that is such growth!
Aww Madi!! Thank you. This is so true. I have worked really hard to find that balance ❤️
You’re doing so great Kiara! It can be hard when your nurse isn’t up for precepting. In an ideal world where we are well staffed with good assignments, it would be a different story. But most of us are on survival mode, and sometimes taking a student just adds to the stress. I’ve found that nurses that I’ve worked with that were initially closed off, eventually apologized and said they were stressed and were then willing to teach. Respect their boundaries, offer to help in small ways. We need nurses like you and and it’s so important to precept! Just know it’s rough out there right now, and don’t take it personally!
Aww thank you for this. Needed this reminder ❤️
Make use of that time in the supply room.you will often need items from there in a hurry.
HAHA Keegan making her special appearance in the vlog!!! Glad to hear you passed and I will be using your stylist. I need my hair done.
hehe she's the best! & yay! Everyone at Yello is SO talented and nice :)
Love your videos! I really hope your clinicals improve, but you’re exactly right that some nurses are burnt out, don’t want to precept, or just don’t have the time/energy to teach.
As a fellow RN, don’t take it personal. It has nothing to do with you and your ability to “nurse.” It’s just unfortunate for everyone involved bc students are there to learn and don’t really have any say with whom they’re paired!
Again, loving your videos- gives me nostalgia of my experiences in nursing school. You got this! 😊
Aww thank you Brie for this reminder...It's a rough situation for everyone...every nurse needs a vacation of their dreams as a retention or precepting bonus 😂
In the next month, I’m excited to graduate with my masters and begin my cross country move to Portland!!!!
Ahhhh Sam!! Welcome to the PNW! SO excited for your new adventure. Let me know if you ever need any restaurant or activity ideas!
@@KiaraMadisen thanks so much Kiara!!!
Oooo within the next month, there is so much exciting stuff happening! 1) gonna complete the first year of my 2 year masters degree 2) my brother is graduating college (nursing actually) so my family is coming into town (bro and I live near each other) 3) my best friends sister is getting married 4) I am starting a payed internship that I am so excited about. I’m currently in the onboarding process for that. Exciting stuff. It’s just getting to the end of the school year that won’t be so exciting, but lots of celebrating stuff to come!
Megan is going to be busy and THRIVING. Let the summer celebrations begin & congrats to you and your brother on getting those degrees 🥳🥳👏👏
@@KiaraMadisen definitely thriving!!!
My boyfriend graduates with his Masters Degree in Teaching a month from today!!! So excited to watch him walk the stage 🥺❣
You're the best girlfriend! Tell him congrats from me...hope you guys are celebrating 🥳
@@KiaraMadisen Oh my gosh I will!!! Thank you!! 🥰
😍Great videos, may God give you good health and success
Thank you!
@@KiaraMadisen No thanks to duty
I’ll be passing my 2nd semester of nursing school by the end of the month and boosting my gpa 😌 (manifesting it)
YES GIRL 👏 so proud!
Hi! I was wondering what products you use in your skincare routine at the beginning of the video.
Today is bengali new year in west bengal ,India ... so happy bengali new year to u kiara ❤
Thank you! Same to you!
I am most excited in the next month is - I make handmade jewelry and am doing a pop_up
I love honest people as long as they don't say "I'm just honest" to get out of being mean. So...long story short....I think Leah (I don't know how to spell it) is a good friend, and I love her.
Totally agree...leah is truly the most amazing friend ❤️
Your hairstylist really did magic with your and Katie's hair, don't let her go.
I could never. She is a true artist.
Also - answer to your question of the day - I'm going to Italy in a month today! It's my fiancé's 30th birthday and I've planned a 10 day trip to Naples and Sorrento and I cannot waiiiit. My first holiday since 2019 yayyyyyy xxx
Stop that is going to be the BEST trip. So happy for you guys...take lots of pics!
Thank you.
❤️
To my favorite future nurse and my role model: ily endlessly ❤️
I could literally cry at any minute now, I feel tears in my eyes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always bringing me so much joy and happiness and for being there for me. I appreciate you taking the time to read and reply to every comment. You seriously deserve a warm, tight hug. ❤️
aww thank you! Hope your day is going well!
@@KiaraMadisen You're welcome. I hope yours is going well too. 😘 ilyyy
@@KiaraMadisen I seriously can't wait to meet you and Keegan in person someday.
high school graduation!!
¡Hola Kiara!! 😀 Great week! and you look beautiful with new hair! 😊
🤔 Maybe your next trip is to Spain to continue flamenco classes? 💃🏻😁
Best regards!! 🤗🤗
Thank you! I would love to go back one day! Still on my bucketlist :)
Awesome video
Thanks for watching!
the thumbnail is everything ;)
Thank you! i woke up early just to make it!
That green drink looks good. What was it? Are you settled in on your move? Looking forward on another Moving Diaries.
It was an iced matcha latte! So good! My furniture got delayed again ughhh so more moving diaries to come!
My boyfriend and I bought our first home! We get the keys and start the move at the end of the month! We are also starting to research different shelters in our area, as in the summer when we are moved in and settled, we want to adopt a dog! We are coming up to our 5 year anniversary in May and I have a feeling based on hints he dropped and my sister has that he is going to propose... don't worry I won't be disappointed if he didn't, we JUST bought a house. It's also my nephews FIRST birthday in May. I also work for a radio station and we have so many really cool events coming up!
My dad passed away at the start of the year and it's been the best worst year of my life. A lot of amazing things have happened that I would love for him to be here for, but I can't let that get away of enjoying the big milestone moments.
I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I am sure he is smiling so wide thinking about how proud he is of you & all your accomplishments! Congrats on the house that is literally a dream come true and you better keep me updated on this dog and ring situation ;)
hey kiara how are you? Sorry i did not do anything last video i was so busy with my apartment that i did not have time to do anything and go on youtube im so sorry but im here! so im so happy!
Glad you're here now! Thanks for watching!
@@KiaraMadisen Np!
ahhh I can't wait to be a nurse
So excited for you!!
My son applied to 12 colleges, was admitted to all except waitlisted at one but he did not really care about that one. After visiting so many etc it's down to Oregon State or Willamette or Albion College in Michigan. My excitement will be him picking one......lol
That is so exciting! You'll have to update me on what he chooses...those are all great options!
I’m looking to move to Portland and I was wondering if you have any areas that you recommend to look for apartments :) love your videos!
I like northwest, south waterfront, and multnomah village!
I saw you Instagram posts about the supply room. At least you have an idea of where stuff is now so if a nurse needs something you can go grab it for them and be helpful that way.
I have no idea what the rest of this month will be like so 🤷
i grabbed a box of tissues so fast yesterday cuz I'm a supply room expert now 😂
As a recently retired nurse,I’m sad to hear your experience of not being needed or made to feel needed by your preceptors. I loved mentoring students and hope these nurses get their act together.
Aww thank you 💓 it got better the next couple weeks thank goodness. Thanks for being patient and kind to us students, we appreciate it more than you know.
It’s NOT 74 anymore here in PDX… Kiara will have to update everyone in the next vlog..of the snow and the rain …nasty crap weather.
hahah yea throwback to last week when everyday was sunny and this week has been a MESS
watching Keegan's video 🤩
We love our girl ❤️
