What are your current goals? I wanna hear them! They can be short or long-term. 🤗
I either want to be a psychologist or a psychiatrist. In my second year of college ❤
I want to be Sterile Processing Technician. 😊
I want to be either a dermatologist or a cardiologist, And for now I want to Ace my exams
To become a principal or special education supervisor.
Fingers crossed to passing my certification test this summer 🤞🏼
I want to be able to pick myself up and never give up my dream in my premed journey ❤ you are my an inspiration and I hope to follow by your example 😊
I'm 45 years old and am entering nursing school in the fall. Once I've acquired my BSN, I will be applying to medical school. Am I older? Yes. Will it be hard? Also yes. Am I determined? Hell, yes!❤
You're YOUNG! You've got all the time in the world. Go do the thing. That'll be so amazing. Lmk if you have questions!
Nursing is a noble profession, but if your goal is to be a doctor, why don't you just go directly into med school? You will need physics, chemistry, and organic chemistry classes and prepare for the MCAT. Then there's 4 years of med school and anywhere from 3 to 7 years of residency.
As a nurse, I am wondering why not go straight into med school after pre-reqs?
@ChrisSadowski-pp1np med school loves to see clinical experience on the applications submitted to them. I was told growing up BY physicians that they thought RN/BSN programs were excellent clinical experiences for future physicians. I also think the classes would be more hands on and beneficial for MCAT studies.
Go for it!!
Hi Dr Rachel
I'm almost finishing second year med student and studying abroad
I feel weird , exhausted, I don't know I'm trying to do what is the best like always, so whatever I feel so much better when I'm watching your videos and it will remind me what I'm doing and I will achieve what in next three years, so I love you ♥️
I am a pediatric resident doctor in Germany. I finished medical school in Syria and came to Germany to start a new and better life. My ultimate goal is to be the best pediatrician I can be, to complete a specialty in general pediatrics, and then to subspecialize in neonatology and newborn intensive care. Eventually I aim to work as an Oberärztin (equivalent to an Attending in the USA) in Neonatalogy. To achieve that, I need to work hard and improve my language skills as well. Although I speak German well, it's not enough in my eyes, especially for a specialty like pediatrics where communication with worried parents is crucial. So becoming fluent in German is also a goal I’m working toward.
Besides my professional goals, I want to improve my hobbies, especially photography. I also have a very humble RUclips channel and I plan to focus on it one day to share my views and my life with others but it's not my priority now, as I'm more focused on work, medicine, and my new life in Germany (I’ve been here for about two years now). I also value freedom and liberty and I want to be more active in this area in the future. Currently, I am expressing my philosophical viewpoints and appreciation of liberty humbly on my Instagram.
Love you, Rachel, and I wish you and Patrick all the best.
How beautiful. I think i would've chosen neonatology if I didn't love OB/GYN so much. I'm excited for your journey.
And always make time for your hobbies! If you love it, do it. That's what makes you YOU.
@@RachelSouthard hi how tall are you
What is your RUclips channel?
@@Joannula96 it’s the same account I’m writing the comment from.
I start family medicine residency in 1 WEEK from today (!!!😬), and I think my biggest goals will be to fight the inevitable imposter syndrome that I know will be peaking after nearly 4 months since my last clinical rotation 🙃. Also, prioritizing exercise and sleep (as much as I can). Thank you Rachel for being so real and inspiring, even when I'm sure it's really hard to show up and share in front of a camera every week. We appreciate you, and I also just wanted to say congratulations on Patrick moving in and on starting 2nd year!! woohoo!
I LOVE noteworthy for note taking/studying on my iPad. It has so many neat features. I’ve been using through my bachelors and now my master’s program. Noteworthy makes it easy to organize notes by class & semester. Add photos, images, files and take audio notes. Converts writing to text. I just love it. I also use it for mood boards, journaling, and drawing.
Congrats on almost becoming a 2nd year. You should be so proud of all you overcame this past year.💛
Ooooh! Okay it sounds versatile! I’ll check it out. Thank you for the recs :)
AND THANK YOU🥹
First, I just want to say that I adore your vlogs, you are so genuine and I truly appreciate that! It is very hard finding anyone online that is real!! So, thank you! ❤
I used to set goals for myself all the time, then I became lazy and my kiddos and husband took priority. Now that I'm 36, almost 37, I have realized that I can still set goals for myself and be a good momma and wife. My goals are to work on being more present when I'm at home with my family - leave work at work (I'm terrible at bringing home thoughts and emotions from throughout my day and I notice that it really affects my family), and to spend more time doing things that make me happy (reading, working out, being outside) and not feeling guilty about it. For the longest time I felt so guilty if I spent time alone because I felt like my kids and husband deserved all of my time and attention. I am a better mom/wife/person when I dedicate even 10 minutes of time to myself each day. I want to increase the amount of time I am getting but for now, I'll take the 10 minutes...
I’ve used Notability for about 8 years. Love the ease of use and layout and features
I love how happy you are and how much you love Patrick. ❤️
🥹💕
Long term goal: I am a Nurse and midwife. And my long term goal is to build a strong relationship with Jesus and hopefully make it to heaven 🙏
Amen
Hi Rachel :) I am starting my last year of medical school in Germany in November and I also want to be an Obgyn. I always think that its so interesting to see the differences between the US and Germany hospital-wise, for example no one here would wear their own scrubs to hospital, no one here even has their own scrubs :) we all just take the ones the hospital provides and it also gets washed in hospital. Also, residency here is so different, its crazy.
Anyways, I am so happy for you that Patrick moved in and I really could feel your happiness through the video :)))) sending you lots of love from Germany! Hannah
I am 26 and applying for medical school right now! I'm applying to all three application services, so am in just a little bit of hell rn :) I love the idea of going into OB/GYN or primary care in the future!
Goal to stop the scroll - love that! I have screen time limits set up, but I want to challenge myself to get the numbers down even lower.
Currently applying to medical school and studying for the MCAT! I remember watching you starting medical school when I was in high school and now I just graduated college, so it's kinda like we watched each other grow up lol! But anyways, I just want to say I am so proud of how far you have gotten. I am also a first generation college graduate and will be the first doctor in my family. You inspire so many people including myself. Whenever I am studying and just need a break (before I go crazy) I watch one of your videos and I get right back. You've been a huge motivation and inspiration in my journey! My goal is to also stop scrolling and I deleted Tik Tok until at least I finish the MCAT. Thanks for everything! :)
Do Kaplan for MCAT. You will be competing with people with that high level of prep
I have never commented before but I love you so much. I have been watching you for years and I rewatch your old videos when I am sad or need motivation to study. You have given me so much confidence in myself and I have just applied to Med School here in Australia for next year. You are my goals and if I do get in I would love to have the courage to document my journey to becoming a doctor like you. keep doing you 🤍
Short term goal: Finish upcoming final year of undergrad, take MCAT, get accepted into med school. The academic CV is already on fire!
Long term goal: To become Dr. Gregory in Psychiatry.
I’m not playing. I am not stopping.
Hiii, I am also taking the MCAT this summer. Good luck 🌷
I just finished Eve a few months ago!! I regularly think back to the facts I learned and the insight it provided. It made me think of you multiple times & I think you will LOVE it.
Hi Rachel! I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning! It was around the time when I started working, I’m not in healthcare but it’s been great to see our careers grow for the past 4 years. Just commenting to say hi and that I’m glad you’re feeling better 😊. My goal is to also stop doom scrolling 😅
I loved notability while in PA school! It helped my brain be organized and it was very aesthetically pleasing haha. Definitely recommend it!
I had to go back and watch this blog when I saw your recent one with Patrick and I was like “what did I miss?” Love seeing you so happy and I love that he can help take care of you and meal prep with you!
Hi Rachel, I love love love your videos:) opening up about mental health and having a partner not in healthcare is super relatable and I love that you share those aspects of your life! I will be going to medical school soon and hope to specialize in Ob/Gyn ❤
Good notes is perfect for your iPad
I second. I love Goodnotes
Okay okay! I’ll snoop around. Thank you!
I third this! Goodnotes CARRIED me through school!!
I love Goodnotes!!!!
I really like notability! It’s cute! 😊
Applying to med school this year… 😵💫😅 I love your channel so much! Thank you for always being so real about the good and the bad! ❤
I had some back pain for a couple months and I lost my exercise habit. I'm currently back to 4 days a week for the past 4 weeks, and I'd like to get that number to >= 6 with more walking outside. That will be harder to do since summer is very hot here. But I'm proud of the progress that I've made, and I always make sure I pack gym clothes so that I can go on the way home from work. And I know it takes patience, perseverance, and compassion for myself when I opt out.
Hi Rachel- I have also said I want & need to stop scrolling- I bought a kindle because I love to read & thought maybe having books always available would help me stay off IG! So far it’s definitely helped and I am more relaxed ! Definitely feel like the scrolling contributed to my anxiety and stress levels!
I loved this clog, it’s nice to see the “outside of work” every day life side if you!
I’m so happy for all of your success! Also happy that Patrick moved in! You guys are too cute! Keep trucking along through Night Shift. 1st year is almost over! ❤
You look so happy and that made me happy!!! So glad that Patrick is with you now! Also I actually noticed that your enunciation was really good in this video before you mentioned that goal so you're doing great! :)
Will be obtaining my bs next year, then my MS, then my MD-phD
Happiness looks so good on you! Happy for this new chapter. For notetaking on the ipad, I like "Kilonotes". Its FREE and very aesthetically pleasing.
Hi rachel!! I just submitted my ambassador and aacomas application! My current goals are to continue working out 5x a week and to submit secondaries within 2 weeks of receiving them!
My current goal is to finish my last semester for my undergrad. I am graduating in August with my Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Clinical Track. Then starting my master's in clinical mental health counseling for the fall!!! I am so excited!!!! Watching your fortitude and motivation has helped me tremendously throughout the years. Thank you for all that you do! Keep doing what you do🤩
When you know, you know…I love that!❤️
I use notability on the iPad to take notes. As always, love the videos Rachel! glad to see you smile and happy.
Girl you are absolutely glowing. So sorry to hear about l&d floor, hope that gets better. It's really nice to see how smiley your are in this blog though.
So happy to see all the joy that patrick brings to your life!!! Wishing you guys all the best things in the world, luv u baby
GOODNOTES!!!!!!!
You deserve all the good things. I’m so happy for you and Patrick ❤
Your spirit is so much lighter -- seriously, you look like you could just cruise a couple of inches above the floor, grass, whatever. It's so great to see. And July 1 you become a "big kid" with the opportunities and challenges of supervising 1st years! Yeah!!! Would you mind listing the brand and screen size of Patrick''s monitor? I'm likely to buy a wide-screen (thinking LG and 34"), but not curved, and whatever his is looks ideal, so it could confirm my research or suggest I keep open to a different brand/size. Have a great new month with the partner (even tho' you're on nights).
The monitor is an Apple Studio Display, 27” and works nicely with Apple products. I had a 32” HP monitor that was excellent as well (which I’m going to put on eBay if you’re interested, it’s quite good!).
So excited for the new era of Rachel! My short term goal is to settle into south Florida when I move there in august and really make it feel like home. My long term goal is to form routines with balance before med school next year.
It fills me with so much joy to see you doing well! Congratulations on this exciting, new chapter of your life. I'm twenty-six and have only now decided that I want to pursue a medical education. So far to go and it always seems so daunting but seeing your authentic self show up every week to show not only the positives and negatives but that it does get better and even when it seems a million miles away, we can still do hard things encourages me to try anyways.
I love notability for study/note taking!
Short term: savor my last full week before residency orientation, create a monthly budget & a realistic workout routine I can maintain during intern year (tips please!)
Long term: thrive (survive) in intern year
WOOO!!!! I LOVE THIS. Keep your head up. It's going to be tough, but REMEMBER...IT CAN BE DONE! Put yourself first.
I love hearing about your more domestic life and your updated goals! I definitely took the time to look at my own more closely and update them after this video!
Your talk about not doom scrolling was such a wake-up call! I’m about to start medical school in July and this was such a good reminder that the time we have outside of work and school can be spent well rather than scrolling forever. Thanks for the good reminder💗
Best of luck!!! Exciting!
Hey!! Ive used both notability and goodnotes, but goodnotes is the best!! You can do so much with it, import, export things very easily and its also very cute. It also has a lot of features for active recall :) sending xoxos from romania, i have my residency exam this year and i hope to get into neurology!
Hey bestie! I scroll a lot at night when I’m in bed. I tend to scroll on Amazon and place orders (kinda like last night). Some of my goals are: lose weight. This is my top goal! I was in a car accident in 21 and have to take medication for the nerve pain down my arms and the medication has made me gain 20 pounds. I just started going back to the gym. I’m doing no impact cardio (arc trainer). My other goal is to read more. I’ve read 7 books this year so far. I’m into thrillers😊. I love page turners! I have bought so many books (from Amazon) to read😂. Another goal is to catch up on my CE Credits. Currently have 7 more to go. I have some time though. Anywho…love youu❤.
I’d recommend using notability on your iPad! I just finished undergrad and am starting med school in the fall and I’ve found that notability is the perfect amount of aesthetic for the perfectionist in me but also minimal and useful for STEM/medical materials. I also know a lot of people love good notes but I found it too complicated! Love your videos so much!
Omg ❤ thank you, thank you, thank you Your video just gave me motivation to start working out (recently diagnosed as diabetic). The whole issue of scrolling is one of my baddest, losing time and wasting my 🧠 brain habit I have formed that only has negative outcomes for me and addicting; I been trying to find motivation to start reading and loving books again ❤ those are my goals
I loved notability throughout med school!!
Starting residency in 2 weeks, so my current goal is to find a routine and try to not get overwhelmed by things I don’t know. Also need to stop the scroll!
Girl I’m constantly scrolling too and it MUST stop!! Been wanting to get back into reading too and expand the genres I read
Also, going to a clinical placement in Australia in haematology and am really excited about getting the most out of this experience since I still have some time left as a medical student in my country
So happy to see you happy :) As far as reading, my friend and I are reading the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas. HIGHLY recommended! I'll also begin this year as an M1, I've been watching you all throughout undergrad!
Thank you for taking the time to talk about how addictive scrolling is!! I wish more people talked about it and how hard it is to stop, I liked the gambling analogy.
I am watching your video on the treadmill (yay working out) and was smiling so hard listening to you describe your partner :) so happy for you!
It might have already been mentioned, but I love notability for note taking! GoodNotes is also very good (:
Hi Rachel happy Saturday afternoon to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter
Goodnotes is great for notes!
Rachel, I love your videos so much!!! I’m in med school, and watching your videos make me feel inspired and motivated❤
I LOVED this vlog and I'm so happy for you!!
Thank you so much!!♥️
Currently in medical school and I love using Concepts. It's basically an infinite canvas... great for making mind maps and brain dumping. It's my main form of notes. Tough to look back through and find specific words as there is no "find" function since they are hand written notes. Something to keep in mind. I also bought a giant white board and it's probably my favourite investment. My program is PBL based and has very little didactic learning... so I assume it would be similar self-driven learning that you are currently doing!
Any powerpoints/lectures I download into Noteability.
Happy studying!
Navigating the obgyn system and finding a physician who is empathetic and has emotional acknowledgement in patient facilitated care. It’s hard navigating the system as a patient and accessing a safe support system within this kind of field. Ive learned alot about some ongoing invasive standard in medical protocol that create emotional stress.
My goal is to find alternative solutions to give patient autonomy and control and form a relationship .
Those vocals !!!!
😦😦😦😦 no way!!! Just a lil singysing
Just found out I’m pregnant and hope my OB will be as great as you :)
Congratulations! Wishing you a beautiful pregnancy experience
Re note-taking apps: having tried out Noteful, Goodnotes, and Notability for general note-taking, I find Notability most consistently works for me (I've used it since 2019). I'm currently an ecology/plant biology grad student, and keep things organized by term/season and then colour-coded by subject or topic within those folders. While I don't necessarily love the changeover to a subscription model for payment, I do really like the drawing tools and handwriting functionalities of the app--useful for making layered figures as well as taking notes. Being able to import and annotate documents is also quite useful.
Another app/program I also like for note-taking or more often paper writing is x-mind, which is a "mind-mapping" style software. My usual preference for notes in a class is writing by hand, but sometimes it can be useful to type out ideas in a fixed-layout or free-floating topic tree. And outside of live classes, using mind-maps/webs (which can also include pictures) helps clarify relationships and scales of concepts really well for me.
I love seeing you so happy with Patrick and how you’re trying your best to make sure its both your space and not just yours. You’re just so beautiful inside and out Rachel!!!😊
Omg stop it you’re so kind 😭
i'm so glad Patrick is there!!!!! You shine when you speak about him
🥹I really do
If you have to start little you can start by disabling notifications , then enabling a time to turn it on screen time.
Aww! Congrats on the move in :) Wishing you guys all the love and happiness together ❤️
Thank you so much!!🤗
Loved this vlog! So motivating for me, I would love to do OT, which is different from medicine, but so cool to see how you balance life!
Know you are loved and seen!
Notability App is what I used for school!! I love it
Thanks for the rec! I’ll check it out!
Congratulations on being a 2nd year resident. Excellent video ❤
It fills my heart SO much that you have found someone who makes you feel like the star of the world 🥰
Me too😭😭♥️
So happy that Patrick moved in with you! Been watching you since day 1 cant believe ur first yr is almost over! Do you have anymore big tests coming up?!
Thank you! I’m so happy he’s here.
I have a laparoscopic exam thing this week actually!
I love Notability!! Has changed my life and studying habits throughout med school🤩
Okay! Good to know!
Rachelllll you’re my motivation! Love youuuu
Have the same bubblegum pink pair and absolutely obsessed with them!
So happy for both you and Patrick. Congrats on taking the newest big step. And Happy 2nd Year of residency. Wow!! Be well and enjoy your time together 🎉❤😊
Thank you so much ♥️
I have a short term goal of getting a good FT job. I graduated vocational training in Little Rock on Friday. Moving back to St. Louis to start job searching 🙏🙏🙏 LOVE your videos ❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you for sharing these and congratulations on graduating!🤗
I been a massage therapist for 10 years. I’m training for a half marathon in November. My goals is to get in shape and travel. It’s really hard because of my career.
Good notes is the best for taking notes on the iPad
Goal: I became a medical writer because I am fascinated with medicine, but I am mostly a document pusher. I'm teaching myself the fundamentals of medicine not for any reason, except it's fascinating. There are so many educational resources out there, including your channel!
I love your videos!! I love your honesty about your profession with the ups and down’s. So happy your boyfriend moved in.
Thank you 😭 trying to show it al
It’s beautiful to see how happy you are talking about moving in together 😍 I just moved in with my human 6 weeks ago and it has been life changing to feel loved and supported every single day. So happy for the two of you!
re: 10:55 ive been doing monthly resets with small goals and they have been so nice snd helpful
My current goals are to pass the NAPLEX and MPJE. I have been studying for the past 2 months and I am burnt out.
You’ve got this!!!
Hey, Rachel! Really enjoy the vlogs!
Thank you!!
My long-term goal is finishing and passing 6yrs of med school. Im actually starting in a month
Evernote I've heard is great for super cute, customizable notes. I've always used OneNote since it syncs across all my devices through my Microsoft account, though, and I liked being able to pull up my notes on my Windows laptop (probs not an issue since you use a Mac).
Wow your voice is beautiful Rachel, i want to hear more!☺️
L&D nurse here! How do you deal with the emotion of hard days on the labor floor? Sometimes I handle it well and others crush me a few days.
u r great Dr. Rachel keep working hard u remind me of my goals for the this year
Thank you ♥️♥️
We love Rachel in Love
OMGosh, you and Patrick are so cute! I'm happy for you. ❤
Thank you 💕
Microsoft One Note and Good Notes!!!
To improve my health by exercising and losing weight. I am retired (for the 2nd time) and have lost all my immediate family.
Have watched your videos for years! And now I’m starting pediatric residency in 1 week. I am terrified haha 🙂
Good luck!! Exciting!
What does Patrick do for work?
Try noteability! And congrats to you and Patrick!
My goal is to pass my A levels, get the grades I need and start med school!
What note taking app did you decide to go with?
