I’m 2 years in and felt the exact same way you did at the beginning. All of your feelings are valid and so true. A new grad who asks the questions is the BEST coworker. Showing humility shows that you want to learn and get better. We don’t expect you to know it all. Imposter syndrome is so real. The first few months are very overwhelming. Trust the process - you’re doing great! You’ll look back on these days and be like “wow I’ve come a long way” ☺️
Nervous poops are so real. Also don't be downplaying yourself like "I barely got through nursing school" more like you got thru one of the hardest paths through college. You are the man!
I remember how anxious I felt every night walking to my floor. I still sometimes get anxious when I’m going to work. It took me over a year to finally start feeling comfortable working as a nurse. You get hit with so much information, policies, and the reality of what being a nurse is. Don’t feel bad for asking questions. If you don’t ask, you won’t know. I’m still asking questions even after 5 years at the bedside. Good luck and welcome to the nursing world!!
Kai, this is just food for thought...but, sometimes when we start something new it is impossible to successfully juggle everything.."you" time, gf, friends etc. Sometimes, for just a while, we have to put more energy into that new endeavor in order to be successful. If you can understand that it will take so much pressure off yourself! And know that your gf and friends will totally understand this and be supportive. I've been an RN/CNP for what seems like a thousand years, and I STILL remember feeling like you are as a new nurse..this too shall pass! I'm sending an abundance of positive vibes your way!
At 1:13 i could already relate to you SO much. Whenever I get stressed out or really anxious, it always messes with my gut. I get nausea, but mostly stomach cramps which ofcourse set things off. You are not alone, you got this!
A few days ago I started as a crew leader for my summer job as a building painter (I’m a 5’0 22yrd old girly whose also a poc) working with all men 😭 I was sooo nervous but after getting through the first week I feel so confident in my job. Even though it’s not my career path and just something for the summer, it made me feel way more confident in myself and my future career after graduation! We got this king.
Congratulations Kai🎉🎉I'm so proud of u I have always seen u as my elder brother who helps me navigate challenges and different aspects of life.. one thing I always loved about u is that how you're so transparent with us and never hesitate to share all your ups and downs with us which truly encourages me so much..hope u achieve everything u want in life Kai❤🫶
Was so anxious and always had upset stomach for about a year until I felt more confident and comfortable working. I worked as an OR nurse for 10 years. Now I work for my husband at his clinic as a sedation and recovery nurse. To be honest, anxiety will come and go. I still get anxious at times. It’s a sign that you want to do well and you care
You have no idea how much I needed this video. I had just come back home from my new PCT job crying my eyes out (I’m currently in nursing school and working part time on the side). I feel overwhelmed in my new job sometimes, but seeing your video is so inspirational to me and it definitely cheered me up. I can’t thank you enough for always being so transparent with us. God is teaching us so much through these processes. Thanks Kai! ✨
The fact that your still so positive is very inspiring for me. I’m a slow learner also and sometimes still am. But we can have confidence that once we master it (the turtle slow way 🐢) we will have nailed it better than most people! You got this Kai ☀️✨!!
Greetings from Amsterdam. Just came upon your vlog, you’re doing great! Any new job is stressful, that’s part of the process, you’ll learn new things & yes, you’ll make mistakes too but you will learn from them. It will get better, down time is important , which you are also taking care of. Remember, you are doing great. Big hug
New grad nurse here, just work for 4 months and still have lot of things to learn, learn how to cope with the anxiety, the pressure, feeling guilty for days after making mistake, plus I work abroad as my first ever experience which 180° different environment and language, watching your video is giving me strength and feeling secure (I almost give up hahah). Thankyou for making this video❤❤
hello, im a final year nursing student. and im graduating in about a month, which means im going to be a new nurse soon too. tbh this transition phase is so overwhelming, and i came across your video and immediately clicked it. thank you for all the good words, positive thinking and vibes you expressed. i wish you all the best in your nursing career and hope it goes smoothly for me as well. may God bless us ❤
congratulations kai! you’ve come a long way. i just wrote my nclex a couple days ago and i’m still waiting to hear back but i’ll actually be starting a grad nurse position next week. thank you for sharing your experience. it’s been both motivating and relieving to know that this is a normal feeling to experience completely. you got this man!
hey kai! just a small word of encouragement but i firmly believe that life is all about making mistakes and i think that the word "mistake" shouldn't be a negative connotation because you have to make mistakes to know what you are good at and what you are not so good at in life and even in work and other things as well. don't stress too much and its okay to make mistakes and as a new grad nurse you should be making mistakes in fact because we are all human :) just a small word of encouragement LOLL i am also a pre med student right now in cali but this is also what i try to tell myself a lot while i move on with life HEHE goodluck!!!
Beginnings are overwhelming... Stress = break outs - yes, check! Try not to stress too much. I know, I know... easier said than done. It sounds like you are in a supportive work environment.Great that you have experienced nurses around who know the ropes and are willing to share. (Nurses are so important.) Sorry you got picked on... or felt you got picked on... yah, I absolutely hate being put on the spot. (Ahhh... a Kai vlog is not complete without eating scenes! Yay; we had several! )Yes. Back to nursing, you will be great because you're compassionate; you're curious; you're humble; and you're smart! Please ask your friends to be patient as you adjust to your new work schedule. Your "little brother" friend seems very understanding! You have lots of friend support, lucky you. Congrats, Kai, and thanks for the great vlog. (We'll be understanding, too!)💖
Nursing is a really tough job. I’ve been a nurse since 2012 then I just moved here in the UK and is working in the ICU now for 2 years. A nurse coming from a different country with no ICU experience gave me anxiety and panic for the 1st year I’ve been here. It’s been 2years now I still have this anxiety but getting there. Hopefully with experience and more trainings I will overcome this! Goodluck! There’s no greater satisfaction than saving lives for us nurses!
It gets better! It’s definitely very nerve wracking being a new grad and trying to get all the knowledge and skills down, but it will all make sense over time and it will flow for you. You’re asking the questions and making sure you’re doing things right which is what you should be doing. Better to ask and get it right than fake your way through it. Good luck I’m sure you’ll do great 😊
💜🥳 Congratulations namdongsaeng!!! Keep climbing!!! 🎉... side note... that fight or flight our bodies go through when you get scared, anxious or nervous is no joke!!! I have been in the Army for over 20 years and I still hate whenever I PCS and have to literally "start over" every few years!!! But you got this!!! Now that the day 1 jitters are gone it will be smooth sailing from here as you continue to learn and grow in to this new chapter of you!!! Keep sharing to inspire those kids watching, so they know they aren't walking this path alone either!!! Su su na krub!!! Hwaiting!!! 💪🏽💜
Don’t worry Kai, the beginning of a new job is always the hardest since you’re still adjusting, but over time you will build confidence in your skills and training! Just keep pushing through and you will do amazing ❤
Just keep doing your best, and ask as many questions as you need to, your there to learn an gain experience and it’s also their job to help you with whatever you may have doubts with, you got this,
Hey. I feel your pain. Been there, done that. Good luck. Grit your teeth, move forward bravely. You know you can do it. Believe in yourself and be good to yourself.
Brother, I passed NCLEX and got registered in May but I’ve been SOOOOOO SCARED to actually start working. I commend you for putting yourself out there and knowing u gotta get through this uncomfortable period. On top of that, documenting it and putting it out there inviting viewers to watch. I really admire your bravery, faith, trust in God, and also ur RUclips hustling. So cool. Praying for you through this period, and please pray for me too if you could. So glad I came across it channel 🙏🥹 Keep going!! You’re doing great and you got this
Hang in there!! It takes time to adjust to nursing. I been a nurse for 24 years and i still feel insecure and nervous about new situations. As long you have a loving heart towards patients and family the rest will come naturally ❤
I've been working in a hospital as a nurse for the first time, almost 4 months ago, and I still feel super anxious. Real life is sometimes very different from what we learn during classes. We don't know everything and every day is a learning experience. The intubation of a patient in the first week was a trauma, the first death too. but then it passed. I still continue to study a lot. When I come across something new, I will study it. I know that more study will help reduce anxiety.
thank you kaii for being true. I admire the influencer like youu, i really learned a lot from you and your friend andrew ❤🎉 keep going may God strengthens you and give you peace of mind even though the things are really overwhelming rn
A new beginning always feels like what you are feeling. Don't panic remember to breathe, take a moment to think before you answer. On your way to work and home, listen to music as it feeds the soul. It also has the power to energize, shift moods, and get your body moving. At the end of the day take time to journal what you learnt, it will help you remember. Bullet point important things and remember everyone else feels the same. They might not show it. Fighting ❤❤
U can do it! Just take a moment, close ur eyes, think of something happy, & remember 2 breath! We still send u hugs 2 help u! Awe.....we luv ur kitties! U know, even tho they may not talk, they r great listeners! Pour ur heart out 2 them 2 get whatever anxiety off ur chest, & remember 2 breath! 🙂🙂
Its normal to be scared and panic, but you have your education to back you up. Here in Hawaii, new nurses train under a preceptor who supports and encourages you. You'll find that you are stronger than you think you are and that you can handle an emergency even through your panic. My 1st emergency I was able to handle calmly (at least outwardly while inside screaming). But you find that your mind set changes and you start thinking more about your patients. You can only do the best you can, you are you and comparisons can hurt but you need to take it in stride but also stand up for yourself. I promise it will get better. Good luck!
I was once in that position when i was doing my work experience and I thought I fucked up and all the negative thoughts getting into my head, thank u for letting me realise that I'm not the only one.
I was a RN in uk so I think we’re slightly different to USA, but it took me a good year to feel more confident and like I knew what I was doing 😂 this is when the real learning starts for you. There’s no way you can fit in what others learn in 3-4 years in a masters course. You will feel terrible like you make mistakes a lot etc just try to think first then do it. I wish you all the best and tons of good luck 🤞🏻
Thank god, another person that is open about their bowel habits! Congratulations on passing the NCLEX and starting your career in nursing. I have been a nurse for 7 years and will start my first Nurse Practitioner job later this year. Don't put too much pressure on yourself (easier said than done) and soak up all the new opportunities coming your way. The beginning can be overwhelming and I think it is so easy for imposter syndrome to kick in, but you got this!
Haha ofc gotta be transparent with my poop 😂😂 but yes yes the start is soooo anxious for me but I know the longer I get new experiences the easier it will come ❤
I can tell I understand your feeling definitely even I'm still a year 4 nursing student. My graduated nursing friends told me their hard times to overcome the freshman period, and I know it's not easy. So I appreciate your effort! Hope you can maintain work-life balance and find your comfortable way in nursing!
Oh buddy❤❤. I understand your worries and anxiety. Relax I promise everything will be alright and you are an Awesome nurse, even if you make mistake, no problem😊. You are doing great. I appreciate all your hardworks, we are with , you're not alone. Just be happy and smile a lot❤❤❤❤ don't be too hard on yourself. Enjoy it
Try to make a new friend at work. Preferably someone who's new like you, and really smart. Then, you can help each other out, and work will be less stressful.
Kai, you are going to do great! I'm a nurse practitioner, and your video just reminded me of myself in the beginning. Word of advice, I know you want to be in derm but it's imperative to get your basics down as a nurse. Working in the hospital is definitely a good move. Hang in there, keep going. You'll gain confidence overtime. Goodluck!!🎉🎉🎉
@keroro_hi hello! I would recommend atleast 2 years bedside. Then you'll really know exactly what you want to do but it also sets you up well with your basic knowledge. You'd be surprised that you may also need your nursing skills in derm. People may pass out, you'll need to know life saving techniques that you would already know because of your bedside experience.
Hi Kai, I know right now it may feel extremely overwhelming… but remember there’s a reason why u are in those rooms with ur other peers. You all are doing your best! We are all humans and we’re all just trying our best
I love your positivity and that you find positive things in any situation you're in I'm sure you'll get through this and that you'll be able to balance your life perfectly even if you'll do one vlog every month or so it's fine as long as you're not pressuring yourself to do more things Just follow your dream and I'm sure you'll be the best at your work you just need time to get used to it 💗💗
I'm in the first semester of grad school too. Although we are from different careers (I am a teacher studying for a master's degree in Literature), I felt exactly like you described. I guess it takes time to adapt to this new routine and to feel like you're there to learn. Since I have anxiety disorder it makes everything worse because I am always pressuring myself to be perfect and learn everything fast, but that does not happen at all. However, we should not overthink our habilities over those little mistakes because our desire to learn is the first step to actual learning. You are doing great!
i always enjoy when i get a notification that you posted a new video! thank you for uploading these, it makes my week start good! trust me, i started a new job like 5 months ago and i was a wreck so i understand it takes time, patience, some bathroom stops haha and figuring out the best routine. you are gonna do amazing and can’t wait to follow along on your journey through your first job!!!
🎉I'm so glad for you Kai! Is amazing watching you in this nurse vlog, finally in your new job as a Nurse!!🔥🔥 I'm so proud of you🙌 I hope everything is going well there. With patience, perseverance and faith you will get your dream job. Congratulations on this new era for you✨ 💪🫶
You're anxiety made me feel anxious 😭 . Btw my mom's a nurse and she had a pretty similar experience as she told me. Best of luck for your upcoming days!!
I hope you are relaxing into your new job!! Have fun in Dallas with Lena❤ hope she kicks ass and has lots of clients. Relax and enjoy yourselves 😊🥰 You got this!! Vlog was great can't wait to see more!!!
Hey Kai.......🫶🫶🫶 First of all Congratulations 🎉🎉😊😊❤❤❤ I could really feel the ecstasy through the screen at the beginning of the video...the way you couldn't stop laughing and couldn't find the correct words to express the feeling....Really saw some butterflies 🦋.... It's OK to be anxious about stepping into something new....there will be so many changes that in many ways compliments your life.... You'll never know if you never try.... The last few vlogs were about so many doubts and anxieties but you are standing right in that position which you feared the most...and now you know it wasn't that bad.... Trust the way soon you will overcome the fears about compromising your time with family and friends.... As a student who is about to get into college I've been kinda weird and nervous lately...meeting new people, making friends, all the college stuff,always worried about how people see me or which part of me should I hide....but at the end its just me taking my next step...it's like being happy and excited but a microsecond later you find yourself nervous and anxious....I took a drop year to prepare for my entrance exam but couldn't performance sa expected due to anxiety and homesickness...now I'm healing from all the mistakes I made and scars I did to myself.....that's OK healing is a beautiful journey....☘️☘️☘️ Lots of love to you Kai ❤❤❤❤❤take care
Love that you keep us posted - your video always starts a great week for me 😊 Thank you.. Wow - You’re doing really well - we as fans are very proud of you!!! Keep going!! Sending hugs from Australia 🇦🇺 - Chell.
Unexpectedly I saw one of your videos..wow I really like your video quality..I'm a science student n i want to be a nurse I'm motivated by your videos..good luck Kai keep going ❤
You need to relax if you don't you are going to be no good to anyone. You are a great guy, sensible, sensitive, caring I have said this to all my students If you don't know something ASK and FOLLOW YOUR TRAINING welcome the challenges and be positive. I know it's easy to say and not always to do but you will . ❤
Curently im an intern nurse, and im graduating in few months from nursing school I have anxiety about things like am i ready to be a real nurse, can i be a good nurse Internship shifts gives a glimpse of real nurses work but it is nothing compared to being a working nurse Watching your videos motivates me so much, I see how you manage everything and enjoy your life while I know how stressful of a job nursing is I try to do the same Watching your videos i realize that its similar for everyone, the work stress is crazy But i know i can do it Thankyou for posting such relatable videos, a videos with real feelings, a pure content You have no idea how much your videos motivate a nursing students like us❤ Much love 🇮🇳
Always a smile and good vibes when seing the notification. Congrats for this New start i Can relate on you I am also a stressed person but let's put this stress out and enjoy every moments. Your followers are proud of you.Iam sure will find the right balance and get a lot of sucess. Seing the kind friends you have sure they will understand you and be their for your. Wishing you the best and you will continue this job in the field you want❤
hi Kai, congratulations and don't worry at the beginning we all feel that way and yes you are going to make mistakes but those mistakes will make you much better, just enjoy your work ok, that's what it's all about 🎉🎉❤
I’d rather have a nervous nurse who wants to do their best than a know-it-all. You’re already so compassionate you’ll do great. Maybe PRN is the best for you look into it because creating your own schedule is amazing.
Watching yours vlogs is such a great energy boost , getting to know about your hardships and the way you overcome them makes me proud of you. And all the best on your job as a new grad nurse and I know you can do it all 🎉🎉🎉.Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I love new grad nurses, I've precepted man new grad nurses and one big advice I can give is if you don't feel encouraged by whoever is precepting you or your preceptor is making you feel like you are not doing your best, don't be scared to let your nurse education know that you want a different preceptor! Just say you want to see how other nurses work, no one will take offense to that. We want to create confident nurses, no one should make you feel stupid ok? I hated seeing experienced nurses bully new nurses, there are plenty of nurses who are willing to help you throughout your journey so ask all the questions you have!. Nursing is all about teamwork, we are supposed to be helping each other. Good luck and I hope to see you in the future as a fellow coworker!
kai congratulations I have been busy sorry for not commenting on the past videos I just also recently graduated from my transfer College and it took place may 28 the graduation took place I'm also gonna be nervous in the far future when I'm waiting to see if I passed the bar exam to become a lawyer glad to see you again
It's crazy how your video upload notification makes my day. I'm actually stuck in the cycle of mindless scrolling and phone addiction that I just don't like being controlled by silly procrastination thoughts. I'll eventually get the control back. *not something you need to know* You're such an inspiration for me. I like the way you're real in the content. with respect, your fan + subscriber
I’m a new grad OR nurse and I just got off orientation a week ago (which is crazy, I did my orientation in 5 months and most do theirs a long time like 7 months to a year). I had my “first big mistake” last week but it’s weird because in the OR it’s very team oriented so it was really a joint mistake. Luckily it was caught and able to be fixed. Other than that killing it. I would say if you like consistency, the OR may be good because for the most part surgeries are the same with the same surgeon, short of emergencies or complications. Like I do mostly ortho and total joints and spines are like the same across surgeons, it’s fractures that may be a new experience every time. I’m also from California and relocated to Tennessee for nursing school and am staying for work and man I miss the melting pot of food and being surrounded by people like me. Sounds stupid but I am one of 2 Asians in my unit and only Korean (we got a Korean surgeon though). Also the south might as well be its own country, so different from the west coast.
Maybe give yourself a vlogging/ editing break for first few weeks of work and give yourself some quality relax time while adjusting to new schedule. First adult job is always an anxious time, you feel like you should know everything and feel like a bit of an imposter. We have all been through this stage.
you got this bro! you are doing really great and strong. And that's so sweet that your brother and your girlfriend and friends are always there for you. congrats on your new chapter!
I’m 2 years in and felt the exact same way you did at the beginning. All of your feelings are valid and so true. A new grad who asks the questions is the BEST coworker. Showing humility shows that you want to learn and get better. We don’t expect you to know it all. Imposter syndrome is so real. The first few months are very overwhelming. Trust the process - you’re doing great! You’ll look back on these days and be like “wow I’ve come a long way” ☺️
I’m asking a ton of questions rn!! And although I feel like a nuisance sometimes I’m fighting through it to learn!!❤
Nervous poops are so real. Also don't be downplaying yourself like "I barely got through nursing school" more like you got thru one of the hardest paths through college. You are the man!
IM GOING THROUGH IT RN❤
I remember how anxious I felt every night walking to my floor. I still sometimes get anxious when I’m going to work. It took me over a year to finally start feeling comfortable working as a nurse. You get hit with so much information, policies, and the reality of what being a nurse is. Don’t feel bad for asking questions. If you don’t ask, you won’t know. I’m still asking questions even after 5 years at the bedside. Good luck and welcome to the nursing world!!
Ayyy 5 years congratsss!!! Yes I gotta always ask cuz I’m a hands on learner!!
Kai, this is just food for thought...but, sometimes when we start something new it is impossible to successfully juggle everything.."you" time, gf, friends etc. Sometimes, for just a while, we have to put more energy into that new endeavor in order to be successful. If you can understand that it will take so much pressure off yourself! And know that your gf and friends will totally understand this and be supportive.

You’re right maybe trying to balance everything is simply impossible!! And certain things in the beginning really do take more investment ❤
Kai and Andrew friendship is so beautiful!
At 1:13 i could already relate to you SO much.
Whenever I get stressed out or really anxious, it always messes with my gut. I get nausea, but mostly stomach cramps which ofcourse set things off.
You are not alone, you got this!
IDK WHY IT HAPPENS TO US😂😂
@@Hwaniiee dude we're anxiety poopers🙈🙈🙈🙈
You survived the first week! Great job and stay confident . It is good that you share your fears and triumph with people you love 🎉😍
I’m finally on the floor now too!!🎉🎉
A few days ago I started as a crew leader for my summer job as a building painter (I’m a 5’0 22yrd old girly whose also a poc) working with all men 😭 I was sooo nervous but after getting through the first week I feel so confident in my job.

I commend you for putting yourself out there and knowing u gotta get through this uncomfortable period. On top of that, documenting it and putting it out there inviting viewers to watch. I really admire your bravery, faith, trust in God, and also ur RUclips hustling. So cool. Praying for you through this period, and please pray for me too if you could. So glad I came across it channel 🙏🥹 Keep going!! You’re doing great and you got this
Hang in there!! It takes time to adjust to nursing. I been a nurse for 24 years and i still feel insecure and nervous about new situations. As long you have a loving heart towards patients and family the rest will come naturally ❤
Wow 24 years all the respect to you!! Jsut gotta keep a positive attitude!!
I've been working in a hospital as a nurse for the first time, almost 4 months ago, and I still feel super anxious. Real life is sometimes very different from what we learn during classes. We don't know everything and every day is a learning experience. The intubation of a patient in the first week was a trauma, the first death too. but then it passed. I still continue to study a lot. When I come across something new, I will study it. I know that more study will help reduce anxiety.
thank you kaii for being true. I admire the influencer like youu, i really learned a lot from you and your friend andrew ❤🎉 keep going may God strengthens you and give you peace of mind even though the things are really overwhelming rn
A new beginning always feels like what you are feeling. Don't panic remember to breathe, take a moment to think before you answer. On your way to work and home, listen to music as it feeds the soul. It also has the power to energize, shift moods, and get your body moving. At the end of the day take time to journal what you learnt, it will help you remember. Bullet point important things and remember everyone else feels the same. They might not show it. Fighting ❤❤
I def have been listening to a specific song to calm me oh and also gospel has been really comforting ❤❤ thanks for the pointers 🥹
U can do it! Just take a moment, close ur eyes, think of something happy, & remember 2 breath! We still send u hugs 2 help u! Awe.....we luv ur kitties! U know, even tho they may not talk, they r great listeners! Pour ur heart out 2 them 2 get whatever anxiety off ur chest, & remember 2 breath! 🙂🙂
Its normal to be scared and panic, but you have your education to back you up. Here in Hawaii, new nurses train under a preceptor who supports and encourages you. You'll find that you are stronger than you think you are and that you can handle an emergency even through your panic. My 1st emergency I was able to handle calmly (at least outwardly while inside screaming). But you find that your mind set changes and you start thinking more about your patients. You can only do the best you can, you are you and comparisons can hurt but you need to take it in stride but also stand up for yourself. I promise it will get better. Good luck!
I was once in that position when i was doing my work experience and I thought I fucked up and all the negative thoughts getting into my head, thank u for letting me realise that I'm not the only one.
I was a RN in uk so I think we’re slightly different to USA, but it took me a good year to feel more confident and like I knew what I was doing 😂 this is when the real learning starts for you. There’s no way you can fit in what others learn in 3-4 years in a masters course. You will feel terrible like you make mistakes a lot etc just try to think first then do it. I wish you all the best and tons of good luck 🤞🏻
been waiting for thissss. so exciting, i've been watching since the first nursing vlog. the payoff is satisfying lol. 😭
Omg OG friend!! Thank you for being with me through the thick and thin 🥹🥹
Thank god, another person that is open about their bowel habits! Congratulations on passing the NCLEX and starting your career in nursing. I have been a nurse for 7 years and will start my first Nurse Practitioner job later this year. Don't put too much pressure on yourself (easier said than done) and soak up all the new opportunities coming your way. The beginning can be overwhelming and I think it is so easy for imposter syndrome to kick in, but you got this!
Haha ofc gotta be transparent with my poop 😂😂 but yes yes the start is soooo anxious for me but I know the longer I get new experiences the easier it will come ❤
I can tell I understand your feeling definitely even I'm still a year 4 nursing student. My graduated nursing friends told me their hard times to overcome the freshman period, and I know it's not easy. So I appreciate your effort! Hope you can maintain work-life balance and find your comfortable way in nursing!
Yess the work life balance is so key to being sane ❤
Oh buddy❤❤. I understand your worries and anxiety. Relax I promise everything will be alright and you are an Awesome nurse, even if you make mistake, no problem😊. You are doing great. I appreciate all your hardworks, we are with , you're not alone. Just be happy and smile a lot❤❤❤❤ don't be too hard on yourself. Enjoy it
Thank you for being with me on this🥹🥹 truly truly it makes life so much more fulfilling 😊
Try to make a new friend at work. Preferably someone who's new like you, and really smart. Then, you can help each other out, and work will be less stressful.
Kai, you are going to do great! I'm a nurse practitioner, and your video just reminded me of myself in the beginning. Word of advice, I know you want to be in derm but it's imperative to get your basics down as a nurse. Working in the hospital is definitely a good move. Hang in there, keep going. You'll gain confidence overtime. Goodluck!!🎉🎉🎉
I love to be a nurse in dermatology too, can you recommend how long atleast I need to working for bedside before I move to dermatology/aesthetic
@keroro_hi hello! I would recommend atleast 2 years bedside. Then you'll really know exactly what you want to do but it also sets you up well with your basic knowledge. You'd be surprised that you may also need your nursing skills in derm. People may pass out, you'll need to know life saving techniques that you would already know because of your bedside experience.
@@drealeong5975 thank you so much
Hi Kai, I know right now it may feel extremely overwhelming… but remember there’s a reason why u are in those rooms with ur other peers. You all are doing your best! We are all humans and we’re all just trying our best
I love your positivity and that you find positive things in any situation you're in
I'm sure you'll get through this and that you'll be able to balance your life perfectly even if you'll do one vlog every month or so it's fine as long as you're not pressuring yourself to do more things
Just follow your dream and I'm sure you'll be the best at your work you just need time to get used to it 💗💗
Yess it def is a time thing❤ let’s do it together on my journey!! Promise you won’t leave me hehe❤❤
@@Hwaniiee I promise 😂🙏
epi- goes to almost every situation from cardiac to allergy. enjoy your orientation but learn as much as you can at the same time.
I'm in the first semester of grad school too. Although we are from different careers (I am a teacher studying for a master's degree in Literature), I felt exactly like you described. I guess it takes time to adapt to this new routine and to feel like you're there to learn. Since I have anxiety disorder it makes everything worse because I am always pressuring myself to be perfect and learn everything fast, but that does not happen at all. However, we should not overthink our habilities over those little mistakes because our desire to learn is the first step to actual learning. You are doing great!
YES THE CURIOSITY IS OUR BIGGEST WEAPON!! Love that ❤
i always enjoy when i get a notification that you posted a new video! thank you for uploading these, it makes my week start good! trust me, i started a new job like 5 months ago and i was a wreck so i understand it takes time, patience, some bathroom stops haha and figuring out the best routine. you are gonna do amazing and can’t wait to follow along on your journey through your first job!!!

Hey Kai.......🫶🫶🫶
First of all Congratulations 🎉🎉😊😊❤❤❤
I could really feel the ecstasy through the screen at the beginning of the video...the way you couldn't stop laughing and couldn't find the correct words to express the feeling....Really saw some butterflies 🦋....
It's OK to be anxious about stepping into something new....there will be so many changes that in many ways compliments your life....
You'll never know if you never try....
The last few vlogs were about so many doubts and anxieties but you are standing right in that position which you feared the most...and now you know it wasn't that bad....
Trust the way soon you will overcome the fears about compromising your time with family and friends....
As a student who is about to get into college I've been kinda weird and nervous lately...meeting new people, making friends, all the college stuff,always worried about how people see me or which part of me should I hide....but at the end its just me taking my next step...it's like being happy and excited but a microsecond later you find yourself nervous and anxious....I took a drop year to prepare for my entrance exam but couldn't performance sa expected due to anxiety and homesickness...now I'm healing from all the mistakes I made and scars I did to myself.....that's OK healing is a beautiful journey....☘️☘️☘️
Lots of love to you Kai ❤❤❤❤❤take care
Love that you keep us posted - your video always starts a great week for me 😊 Thank you.. Wow - You’re doing really well - we as fans are very proud of you!!! Keep going!! Sending hugs from Australia 🇦🇺 - Chell.
Unexpectedly I saw one of your videos..wow I really like your video quality..I'm a science student n i want to be a nurse I'm motivated by your videos..good luck Kai keep going ❤
You need to relax if you don't you are going to be no good to anyone. You are a great guy, sensible, sensitive, caring I have said this to all my students If you don't know something ASK and FOLLOW YOUR TRAINING welcome the challenges and be positive. I know it's easy to say and not always to do but you will . ❤
Curently im an intern nurse, and im graduating in few months from nursing school
I have anxiety about things like am i ready to be a real nurse, can i be a good nurse
Internship shifts gives a glimpse of real nurses work but it is nothing compared to being a working nurse
Watching your videos motivates me so much, I see how you manage everything and enjoy your life while I know how stressful of a job nursing is
I try to do the same
Watching your videos i realize that its similar for everyone, the work stress is crazy
But i know i can do it
Thankyou for posting such relatable videos, a videos with real feelings, a pure content
You have no idea how much your videos motivate a nursing students like us❤
Much love 🇮🇳
Always a smile and good vibes when seing the notification. Congrats for this New start i Can relate on you I am also a stressed person but let's put this stress out and enjoy every moments. Your followers are proud of you.Iam sure will find the right balance and get a lot of sucess. Seing the kind friends you have sure they will understand you and be their for your. Wishing you the best and you will continue this job in the field you want❤
Yess the importance of just enjoying the moment and stop worrying so much about the dam future!! Haha we’ll do it together ❤❤
Love you kai❤❤ you're very inspiring to me ❤keep it up❤❤
And also can you please make a video about your haircare routine? cause it looks gorgeous❤❤
Ahah thank you ❤❤ will do!!
Congrats Kai!! Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉
hi Kai, congratulations and don't worry at the beginning we all feel that way and yes you are going to make mistakes but those mistakes will make you much better, just enjoy your work ok, that's what it's all about 🎉🎉❤
Yesss I agree!! I need these mistakes to learn and become more confident in the futr❤
I’d rather have a nervous nurse who wants to do their best than a know-it-all. You’re already so compassionate you’ll do great. Maybe PRN is the best for you look into it because creating your own schedule is amazing.
wow..congratulation dear Kai!!! hope you have great experiences and success for your new Job! lav uuu
you'll do great. just make sure to put your heart into everything that you do
When one door closes, another one opens! Congratulations Nurse Kai🎉❤
We all love Kai’s videos ❤
I just found out I passed my Nclex!!! I can’t believe I am officially an RN!!!! Your journey really inspired me!!!
When you look back on this uears from now. Don't forget to pay it forward and don't lose patience with new nurses.
I remember when i was starting. I was crying before going to work 🤣 nursing is not a joke, it takes a toll on my mental health
Watching yours vlogs is such a great energy boost , getting to know about your hardships and the way you overcome them makes me proud of you. And all the best on your job as a new grad nurse and I know you can do it all 🎉🎉🎉.Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Congratulations Kai Shine Bright ❤
I love new grad nurses, I've precepted man new grad nurses and one big advice I can give is if you don't feel encouraged by whoever is precepting you or your preceptor is making you feel like you are not doing your best, don't be scared to let your nurse education know that you want a different preceptor! Just say you want to see how other nurses work, no one will take offense to that. We want to create confident nurses, no one should make you feel stupid ok? I hated seeing experienced nurses bully new nurses, there are plenty of nurses who are willing to help you throughout your journey so ask all the questions you have!. Nursing is all about teamwork, we are supposed to be helping each other. Good luck and I hope to see you in the future as a fellow coworker!
Everything is going to be fine . Own it like a Boss .
Kai u r so amazing and i know u can do this. You got this don't give up. Keep up the good work. Lots of love from mary
All the best!
Aw! Congratulations 🎉 wish you all the best
I’m in an anxious era for about almost 2 months, I get how you feel but it’s okay, you will get better, hopefully me too😅take care✌🏼
Yes, you can be proud of you.
kai congratulations I have been busy sorry for not commenting on the past videos I just also recently graduated from my transfer College and it took place may 28 the graduation took place I'm also gonna be nervous in the far future when I'm waiting to see if I passed the bar exam to become a lawyer glad to see you again
It's crazy how your video upload notification makes my day.
I'm actually stuck in the cycle of mindless scrolling and phone addiction that I just don't like being controlled by silly procrastination thoughts.
I'll eventually get the control back. *not something you need to know*
You're such an inspiration for me.
I like the way you're real in the content.
with respect,
your fan + subscriber
I’m a new grad OR nurse and I just got off orientation a week ago (which is crazy, I did my orientation in 5 months and most do theirs a long time like 7 months to a year). I had my “first big mistake” last week but it’s weird because in the OR it’s very team oriented so it was really a joint mistake. Luckily it was caught and able to be fixed. Other than that killing it. I would say if you like consistency, the OR may be good because for the most part surgeries are the same with the same surgeon, short of emergencies or complications. Like I do mostly ortho and total joints and spines are like the same across surgeons, it’s fractures that may be a new experience every time.
I’m also from California and relocated to Tennessee for nursing school and am staying for work and man I miss the melting pot of food and being surrounded by people like me. Sounds stupid but I am one of 2 Asians in my unit and only Korean (we got a Korean surgeon though). Also the south might as well be its own country, so different from the west coast.
I’m so proud of youuuu ❤ I’m terrified for nursing school 😭
Congrats you did it!!!🎊 🎉
Hey Kai... worry not. You got this.
Congratulations 🥳❤❗️
Congratulations l hope the things keep goings-on don't worry you are doin good ❤
Omoo,congratulation Kai..
Awesome 1st week 🎉 ypu can do it, over time it will get better😊 im still waiting to grad in my final year😅
I am a medical rep that has to teach surgeons how to do surgical procedures. I had to do a lot of studying and reviewing over and over to learn it.
i love how fast i clicked on the notification
can you please make a video on what you did to prepare for the NCLEX?
Did you choose the night job then? You will do well, you just need time to adjust and to learn ❤
Kai~If you have free time I suggest that you can go watch the movie “Inside Out 2”🙌🏻
Not just about the anime cuz there’s a new emotional “anxiety “
1:03 I totally relate to that 😅
Maybe give yourself a vlogging/ editing break for first few weeks of work and give yourself some quality relax time while adjusting to new schedule. First adult job is always an anxious time, you feel like you should know everything and feel like a bit of an imposter. We have all been through this stage.
you got this bro! you are doing really great and strong. And that's so sweet that your brother and your girlfriend and friends are always there for you. congrats on your new chapter!
