    Cutting out social media was a big one for me. I am retaking pharm and I am in an accelerated program so I need all of the hours I can get. Cutting out social media has given me at least 5 hours of study time for the week.

    As an Australian nurse of 9 years, a video like this when I was studying would have been incredible! Although Australian nursing degrees are quite different, I did do part of my degree at Georgetown and it was fascinating to see how competitive everyone was! Amazing video Kiara! x

    My nursing school set the first year students up with 2nd year mentors. I am beyond grateful for my mentor as she's such a little angel but now I feel like I have 3! You are both so inspiring and down to earth at the same time. Thank you!

    I’m a 3rd year OT student and I always would write on the PowerPoints on my iPad. After lectures I’d rewatch videos and take notes and draw pictures on content. Then I met with friends and we’d order pizza and talk through every lecture slide to slide! It definitely worked for me

      Hang in there...I know it's hard to see in the moment, but conquering this challenge is yet another step to building the confidence you need in this profession and you will tell other nursing students this story one day and be an inspiration to them! Keep you head up and pumping out practice questions, I believe in you.

      Hope you’re moving right along in your program! Sorry for the late reply, but I am a big fan or breaking it down week by week in a todo list that reminds me when things or due or a part of a project I want to get started on! A lot of people love google calendar and I utilized a friend group chat to remind each of random things that were due and checked our online site calendar for a good overview of the big things that were coming up :)

    Hi Kiara and Erika! Absolutely loved this video. As a May ABSN grad who is taking some time off before getting a job, one of my biggest concerns is losing my skills during my time off and not being able to transition smoothly into the working world. At the same time, I know that I need this time off in order to be the best nurse I can be, and to successfully start PMHNP school in the spring. Kiara- how was your experience taking time off and your transition into practice? Would love to hear more ❤

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  8 месяцев назад +5

      I did the same thing as you! I graduated end of August, passed NCLEX in September, and didn't start applying till Nov/Dec, started working end of February. I swear it was the best thing I ever did for myself, I came into the profession refreshed rather than burnt out, I became a sponge, and it is true what they say, you learn everything on the job anyway. My preceptors were so encouraging and helpful when I legit only felt confident taking vitals. It's amazing what time allows you absorb with the frequent repetition you get. Don't be too hard on yourself and be a question asking nurse, not a guess and go one :) Enjoy your break, you 1000% earned it.

    • @KiaraMadisen
      @KiaraMadisen  8 месяцев назад

      Wow! It was a little different for us because I know we had to get quite a few hours, but during COVID many of those hours were made by spending time in the simulation lab or watching videos of nursing related topics, not actual time spent with hands on patient care which was a bummer :/

    • @jazzharris-urlich2069
      @jazzharris-urlich2069 8 месяцев назад
