Thank y’all for all the sweet comments 🥰 So excited fir this new journey
I quit my my job as a registered nurse last two years ago after almost 12 years in the field. It was not an easy decision, but life is too short to dread going to work everyday. No amount of m oney can b uy real happiness, but friends I'm not asking you to resign from your job or abandon your business but be wise!!
I don’t love my job but I love what it provides for me and my family . This pandemic has p eople rethinking working
You're right ma'am!! Were you a bedside nurse and how did you plan yourself before quitting
@@cyrilleduverger3416 while I was still in service I planned towards early retirement, my first Income I do a normal 9-5, my second income I put it back to work to make more money because I'm not just after the money but the freedom to live on my terms Lol
@@julianluke7280 yeah and 9-5 cant give you the freedom you need. An extra income stream passive income is a great option keep it up
@@gracedaniels6172 yes I was able to make about 2/3k weekly as extra income from my Inve sting trying so much to build more side hustles and extra income
Og subscribers know she’s been talking about this since she was in school
A real one!
Exactly! Bummed as hell after clinical that day! Look at her now!
I did Adult ER, Peds ER, and now in the NICU and absolutely LOVE IT! I love my little babies. Congratulations on your new position!
Aww babies are soo precious
Yes girl, so happy you found your forever home. I'm a fellow Level IV NICU Nurse as well...three years under my belt and I have loved every second of it. People always have a misconception of NICU nurses and believe that all we do is cuddle and love on babies and our shifts are a walk in the park. In some instances we do, when they are on their way to reaching more milestones to get ready to graduate from the NICU but...majority of the time we are caring for very fragile and critical micropreemies and preemies. I can't wait for you to give others a glimpse of what an actual day in the life of a NICU nurse truly is. Looking forward to following your journey into transitioning into becoming a NICU nurse. If you have any questions, hit a girl up. Congrats girl!
I always felt like you didn’t like postpartum much.. glad you found a home!
Congratulations. Keep elevating. Houston, TX was a good move for you!! I could tell in some of your videos regarding postpartum position you were not as cheerful but now you seen more cheerful, happy, excited!!
Congratulations! I love that you never gave up on your dream position. Also love that you weren’t afraid to switch jobs because a lot of people discourage nurses from leaving jobs because they don’t want to seem like a job hopper. I wanted to be in the ICU and I started as a new grad. I am deciding between FNP & CRNA.
I love how nurses can try many jobs. You can do so many things as a nurse!!
Exactly why I love it
Where have I been? All these beautiful nurses in you tube! Oh yes! Follow your passion. I left the bedside and never looked back. Becoming a Consultant has been the best decision that I ever made
Traveling Nurse is my guess.
Nope I was wrong
😂😂
I knew it was NICU as soon as you talked about a job change on the instagram live, my mind!! I could tell postpartum wasn’t exciting for you, but like you said, it was a purposeful step in your journey. Whoop whoop!! Congratulations! 🎉
Whoop whoop! I love NICU and that’s my dream position as well. Currently I am a CMA and a CNA and I work in a pediatric clinic. Love it! My ultimate goal after nursing is NICU. How ironic that this video popped up today! Congratulations and I know you’ll do great and amazing things! ❤️
Yayyy!!!! I knew it! Congrats!! I was a new grad in the NICU! Now I'm over 1 year in and I love it! its amazing! You'll love it!
I’ve been a nice nurse for a year now, it’s a lot of hard work but definitely the most rewarding 😍 congratulations 🎉
Am a NICU nurse here in Kenya and a recently passed my NCLEX exam so I can work in the USA. I can’t wait to continue my NICU nursing in the USA. You gonna love being a NICU nurse ❤️
Congratulations sis😍🎉🎉. May i ask, ehat resources did you use to study for it and how long did it take you to prepare
Congratulations
I used uworld Saunders and mark k.
Congratulations!!!! That’s so awesome! I always felt like God was helping you make your way to the NICU. All the experience you have, you are going to be great!! ❤️❤️❤️
Good luck on this new position! I’m sure you will excel ❤️
I wanted to do NICU when I was in nursing school & I thought I was going to love it when I finally got my “dream position” in the NICU 4 years into nursing but it wasn’t for me, I did it for three months and ended up hating it 😭 good luck I hope you love it!
Can I ask why you hated it ? What about it didn’t you like ?
Replying because I also want to know
I was similar to you! I been in a level 4 nicu for about a year now. I wouldn’t say I hate it overall. Bc sometimes I like it. But overall I just think bedside isn’t for me! I think working nights makes it worse. But some people on my unit love it! The idea of being a nicu nurse sounds cool to me, but actually being in it can be rough and stressful. And I often feel like I don’t have enough time to provide the care I would like to provide bc of all that I have going on in one shift. What did you end up doing that you liked?
Well when I usually feel like I got enough time when I have 1 or 2 patients but not when I have 3 or 4! Lol
dreamergirlbaby I worked in a level 3 NICU. it was ok in the beginning, definitely a huge learning curve in comparison to adults. What was most challenging for me was starting over as if I were a new nurse and feeling like I knew nothing. It made dealing with parents especially difficult. It was also pretty slow, I think, compared to working with adults (I did telemetry/PCU fast paced units before NICU). In my NICU I was required to work nights for a year prior to working day shift so it was quite uneventful a lot of the time, mainly just monitoring the babies overnight. Most of the stuff happened during the day. And over the course of just a few months, I found it started to get repetitive. Aside from that, I didn’t really appreciate the culture of the place I worked. Catty nurses at night living up to the “nurses eat their young” stigma that I hadn’t experienced elsewhere. I work in critical care now, with adults. I definitely feel a lot more confident/competent in this area 🙂
Congrats! I did a year of med surge but NICU has always been my dream. It was so hard to get into the NICU but I can say NICU is amazing! You are going to love it!
Did you go to NICU right after your year of med surge? Lol idk why I was thinking that I can just go straight to NICU as a new grad.
@@neshabaexo you can. my cousin passed the nclex and was hired on a nicu unit weeks later
@@neshabaexo You can definitely go to the NICU right out of nursing school. I wish I had done it to be honest because I absolutely HATED adults. But at the time the hospital I applied to had no NICU positions available. But don’t settle like I did! That’s the best advice I can give new grads. You DO NOT have to do med surge first. If you want NICU please go for it!
@@neshabaexo Some people have the privilege to get into NICU right out of school. Some hospitals even offer residencies in that area.
Amazing!!! I hate working with adults too and I’m dreading my first RN job cause I keep getting told by professors that thats the way to go..start med/surg and then elevate..I’m dreading that so hard
Congrats!!! I’m a new grad that just got hired into the NICU 🥰 I’m so excited!!
yayyy congratulations i’m so excited for your new journey!! 🥳 i’m a new grad nicu nurse and i love it so much! those babies bring me so much joy! you’re gonna love it! i can’t wait to see all your new content about nicu nursing!
Yay! I'm happy you found your happy place! I plan on working on the float team for a couple years amd eventually settling onto a ICU floor.
OMG!!! Congrats! I am SO excited for your future content about NICU. I'm in nursing school with the intention of going into NICU when I am done. It is so great that my favorite nursing youtuber is in NICU.
You give me so much motivation to continue nursing school! I’m currently in my first semester & it is brutal lol but I find myself coming back here every so often to get myself motivated again & I’m so proud of you! Congrats 🎉
👏🏽👏🏽😭😭 you have kept me pushing in my nursing goals. Thank you for showing that the sky in the limit ♥️♥️
Congratulations love. I’m glad that your hard work paid off and your in a position that you love.
Congratulations😊. Can't wait for your NICU videos.
As a NICU mom thank you! NICU nurses are so amazing
I just love your willingness to change and take on different positions to get to where you are in your dream job!!
Yesss welcome to the nicu nurse life 💞 you’re going to love it!!!
i just started in the NICU too! I transferred units, started in the SPCU/SICU. Congrats girl!!!
CRAZY!!!! I started watching your videos when I started nursing school (you had just graduated) and now I am also a nurse and started working in L&D!!
Omg level 4 that's big! Congratulations girl!! I can't wait to be there one day 🤗🤗
OMG!! That’s amazing!! Kudos to you for striving for your dreams and making it happen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I know it will be so rewarding and a Great experience for you 😁
Best job ever! I’ve been a NICU nurse for 30 years! 🥰
I have two weeks left of nicu orientation. I’ve been dreaming of being a nicu nurse since I was super young. I’m in love with it!!!😍 please give us plenty of nicu videos
YAYY! I’ve been following you for so long to help me through nursing school and I just started a couple months ago as a new grad in NICU ❤️
Congrats Alexis. I remember how much you wanted to get into the NICU. I loved my time spent there. Now I’m in the ER and I’m loving it too. Best of luck!!
I have been watching you since you were in nursing school...I graduate in August, I love to see it!!! Congrats!
Congrats! I’m so excited for you!!! I’m in my last semester of nursing school and currently applying for new grad NICU RN positions. NICU is my dream, but Mother Baby is my back up plan. This process is stressful bc the NICU specialty is super competitive! Pray for me please and best wishes for your new job! 💕Can’t wait to see more NICU videos 👶🏽🍼
I have watched you foreeever and have NEVER commented on any videos but OMG congratulations!!! This makes my heart so happy!! I graduated last May and went straight into a level IV NICU which was my dream job. I can't wait to watch your journey in the NICU. I know you're going to be amazing. So happy for you!! NICU nursing is stressful but it's the absolute best, so worth it.
NICU is my absolute dream job too!! I'm so glad I get to watch you go through this journey!
Congratulations, girly!! So happy to see your dream realized and actualized 😊
Congrats on getting into the NICU! I just started in a Level 3 and I already love it❤️🥳
Congrats on your move! Labor and Delivery is my thing, but when we did clinicals in the NICU I was seriously considering it. It’s amazing seeing how hard those tiny babies fight ❤️❤️
Yayyy!!! That’s so awesome and I’m super excited to see this part of your Nursing journey.
Congratulations! 🎉 I have been watching your videos for years and it is amazing to see how far you’ve come. You are one of my favorite nurse you tubers!
You DID THAT!!!! Congratulations beautiful! There’s nothing you can’t do 🤍
NICU nursing is the best job ever! I'm one in Atlanta, and it's literally the best decision I ever made post nursing school. I literally haven't taken care of anything but babies since 4th semester of nursing school LOL welcome to NICU life!
You went for you asn or bsn
I remember seeing you in the pedi ER when I was a nursing student! Congrats on your new position!
Omg this is amazing and what I want as my future career as well!! I hope this new path is everything you hope for❤️❤️
I’m so excited! I’ve been following you all throughout my nursing school journey and I’m currently precepting in the NICU! Your content is always so helpful, I can’t wait to see all the helpful advice you have to share. This is an awesome reminder, that you should always fight for what you want.
How exciting to hear that you finally made it to your dream position 💕 I believe that everything happens for a reason. I'm super exciting to watch your journey in the NICU.
Wow amazing! Congrats! Just shows keep pushing forward in life even if you feel you're at a stand still, nothing in life is permanent, you can get to where you want to be with hard work.
Congratulations! I just applied for a tech position in the NICU 🥰 I’m so nervous. Best of luck to you ♥️
WAIT.... NICU!?!?!? YASSSSSS! So excited to see your day in the life and learn more from you!
Congratulations. When is your passion , u will excell and God almighty will bless you. I am a nurse-midwife. I love what I do.Following up pregnant women at the ANC, conducting normal vagina deliveries in the labour ward and following up both mothers and babies in the postpartum ward.
Omg congrats girl! You’re gonna be a bomb nurse to those babies 💕
♥️♥️♥️
Started NICU at a level 3 and I LOVE IT!! 😍😍 good mix of cuteness, adrenaline, and fulfillment.
Congrats!!!! So happy for you Lexi🎉 I’m so excited to follow you along in your journey as a nicu nurse , I’m also an aspiring nicu nurse 🙏🏻❤️❤️much love from Cali 😘
Yes!! Welcome to NICU nursing! I am also a NICU nurse and I love it so much.
Congratulations!! I have been a silent viewer for years. I would love to see a video on interview tips. I am applying to a few hospitals in Houston but I get very nervous when it comes to interview questions. Love to see your take on it 😄
Goodluck with your new position!!
Congratulations on your new position my friend has been a NICU nurse for 7 years and she loves it
I definitely was wanting to start in the NICU as well but also was considering to gain experience elsewhere like l&d & er first before just going straight in. This was so refreshing to watch & I look forward to hear about your experience in NICU 💓
I would apply to a NICU residency or work as a postpartum nurse if you want to the NICU. Postpartum-> L&D nurse here! I started in postpartum and I worked with well babies and occasionally floated to the special care nursery. But as L&D, we just deliver and most hospitals assume you’re not comfortable with sick babies only well babies because if a baby is sick after delivery, a NICU nurse will come to your delivery and take over. ❤️ Hope this helps
@@SweetTee20121 thank you! I’ll keep that in mind 💓
I start Nursing school in May and I want to be a Neonatal/ NICU nurse 😍 so happy for you!!
IM SO EXCITED FOR YOU. NICU is my dream job too!
Congrats!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m excited for you!! i want to go into NICU as well! Would love to hear about your interview process 🤗
YAY congrats!! You're going to do so well you have so much passion, can't wait to see upcoming videos about your switch to the NICU 🥰
Congratulations! Welcome to the world of NICU nursing. I've been watching your videos for years, and I'm so glad that you finally got your dream job!
God always has a plan for everyone our story is already written but it's up to him when we see his blessings.. Congrats it was your time🤗😇😘
Omg hell yeah!!! I've been waiting this video since you were in nursing school. When you said final move I knew already. I started working in the NICU this past October and I absolutely love love love it. Hard work but truly worth it. I'm so happy for you Lexi!!!! Love you lots and please update once you're settled. 😍❤
Congratulations on your dream position. I just started my job as a nurse!
SO proud of you!! My dream position has always been in peds hem/onc and God blessed me with a position in just that, right out of school. I love peds in general, but there's something about treating kids with critical illnesses like cancer that makes the job even more fulfilling. Couldn't be happier for you that you are finally in the specialty that brings you the most joy!
I’m so happy to see that you didn’t just quit nursing to do full time social media like most influencers are doing! Nursing is the main reason I follow and I love that you are experiencing all fields of nursing
Why do they think people are watching them? For sponsored videos? So ridiculous. Go Alexis!
Yessss! NICU is my goal specialty so I’m too pumped to watch you on your journey ☺️💗
Congratulations 🎉🍾 you have wanted this for a long time!!! May you continue to receive blessing from patience and God’s Grace.
Congratulations on your dream position! This will be so rewarding. I love watching the growth ❤️
Yayy, I’m so happy you got your dream job🤩 I’m a NICU nurse also, and I absolutely LOVE my job. I could not have asked for a better specialty. You’re going to be awesome girl 🥰Congratulations 🎉
Wow i’m so happy for you!! I remember when you were in nursing school you said that you wanted to be in NICU nursing. I’m a 2nd year BSN student and I’ve always wanted to be in neonatal. Congrats girly!!
Soosoooo happy for you! CONGRATULATIONS 🤍 I had my NICU rotation 2 weeks ago and I LOVED IT. L&D was fascinating too. decisions decisions 😭
NICU is my dream too! Would totally do it if I wasn't traveling as Mother Baby - Kristen. Good luck!
Congrats on making it to the NICU!!! I watched your live the other day and knew it had to be the NICU. I love that you pointed out that each step in the journey is important. As a nursing student, sometimes we can get so caught up on our desires and try our best to avoid detours. But all of it contributes to your personal and professional growth.
How exciting! I've just accepted a position in a level IV NICU as a new grad and I am so excited!
Same here NICU is a dream job for me too that was my favorite clinical so happy for you. I'm still on med-surg but maybe someday we'll see again so happy for you and good luck
YASSSSS so excited for you!!! Been following u since nursing school days/ baby nurse
The NICU has always been my dream job. I did step down with adults for a year, and then 6 months on a pediatric unit before I was offered a position in the NICU. Now I am almost one year in and I love it so much. I am grateful for my past experience regardless. Congrats ! I'm so glad your dreams are coming a reality.
I’m soooooo happy for you!! I’ve been watching you since you were in nursing school, and I also want to go into the NICU. I’m in the first block of nursing school so I have a ways to go.
Congrats girl!!! I’m always following but never commented I’m happy you got your dream job. I’m taking prerequisites for nursing, I’m a PCA in postpartum and my goal is nicu as well. There always pulling me to med surge cause there short staffed which makes me wonder if I should stick it out I work 5 days out of 2 weeks part-time and they don’t allow mother baby pca’s to be contingent. I’m afraid that part time would be to much when I get accepted to a program. I don’t want to lose my position because I’m already so close to the nicu. I’m going to start a phlebotomist program this summer to better my skill and it will be a back up job as well. That’s my dilemma right now. YOU ARE SO INSPIRING FOR GOING AFTER YOUR DREAM I AM DEFINITELY FOLLOWING IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!❤️
So many years in the making girl. So happy for you!
We’re gonna need a follow me around as a NICU nurse😍
Congratulations👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. Everyone has there niche and like you said everything isn't for everyone. That's why I love nursing so much.
Congratulations on you’re new job can’t wait to see you’re day in a life as a NICU nurse vlogs and videos 🎉🎊🎈🥳 and great video as always 👍🏾👏🏾🤗
Ahhhh I've been subscribed since early on...Girl, I am so happy for you!!!!
IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!! I just graduated in December and I’ve been working in the NICU as a new grad!
CAN YOU DO A VIDEO ASAP ON ORGANIZATION AND PRIORITIZATION AS A NURSE? HOW TO GET AND STAY ORGANIZED AND HOW TO ORGANIZE/PRIORITIZE THE CARE. PLEASE!!
Fellow NICU nurse here! Good luck girl!!
Congratulations we are proud and happy for you. Thank you for sharing. Wonderful update🙌🏼
