This week also is the start of summer and after some hiccups, I am finally able to return to my happy place after a full, yet rewarding week.

As a long time subscriber I just wanted you to know how RIDICULOUSLY proud of you I am. I spent 3 years at a children’s hospital for my infusions (aged out at 22) and I promise you I am still friends with my Peds infusion nurses to this day. Your ducklings are going to love your energy and your spirit sweet girl ❤️
I absolutely relate to the pre-shift anxiety, especially stressing myself out the night before and not being able to sleep. It's something I'm working through too, so I don't have much advice. The best I can say is that distraction helps me, and to remember that you can do anything for 12 hours (or whatever it ends up being.) You can absolutely do this, and thank you for being so open and relatable! :)
Kiara! I'm so entirely excited for you as you start your senior capstone! I remember watching you even before you knew you wanted to be a nurse and I can see the joy radiating from you as you work towards such a rewarding job that seems to suit you so well. Trust me when I say it goes by all to quickly! Just passed my NCLEX last month and I start a peds RN job this month, can't wait to see what you do post-grad :)
Don’t be hard on yourself it takes months to be excellent!
My favorite activity is birdwatching and hiking.
I’m not a nurse, never been in nursing school but I do have anxiety. Drinking a crap ton of water helps flush out the anxiety producing hormone and it also makes you get up a lot to go to the bathroom aka keeping yourself moving. I also will go on a walk or workout just to tire myself out. Hanging out with friends is also amazing!
I’m starting nursing school in the fall and your videos are so inspiring to me! Thank you for sharing your journey
I just got accepted into nursing school and watching your videos has me so excited to start! I’m already so nervous for clinicals but watching your videos makes me feel like it’ll be okay. Congratulations on being a senior!!!! You’re going to make an incredible nurse 💙
I can totally relate to you i also have this overthinking thing and I take things to the extreme in my head. I distract myself with something that calms me down like writing down every bad thought .
I also have first day anxiety when I go into schools, I am an Elem Education major and when I go into a new school for the first time I am so scared and anxious but once I''m there and I get to know the kids its so fun and I'm doing what I like... but reminding myself that never helps the anxiety. So it's relatable.
Congratulations!! I’M SO SO PROUD OF YOU! 🫶🏽🙌🏾
I’m in optometry school, but something that has helped me in my clinical internships is that a lot of the conditions I see I’m literally seeing them for first time IRL (not just a textbook photo). I was really hard on myself at first for missing things but I had to reframe my thinking so that I could stop overthinking about my mistakes and spend my time learning from them. This reduced my anxiety a lot, as well as more and more clinical experience helped lower the anxiety as well.
Good luck cam! As a former FA, it can be a great life. Celebrate your intellect & keep in touch with your grounded friends
I loved this so much! Also just watched Kam's vid yesterday and saw the same charcuterie scene so I enjoyed seeing your perspective! 😀
Huge well done on taking your fears in stride - you seem to have a pretty awesome balance of working hard but also giving yourself breaks to be with friends, eat the delicious food, get out on the boat etc, which honestly is possibly the most inspiring part of your videos because getting balance in life is something I struggle with a lot!
Sending all the love, keep up the amazing work Kiara xx
And jfyi, if no-one told you, love such videos from you. Not at all all over the place. Happy for you that you get to live near your two loves, water and mountains 💙💙 and a family close by ❤️❤️
Glad you had a good two practicum days. You will be a great nurse and your patients will love you.
You’re videos are always so inspiring to me. I’m getting ready to move across the country soon and you saying “you will never be fully prepared” and to reset your mindset to look for learning has helped a bunch
I just came from the video you posted in May of 2021 where you shared your experiences getting into nursing school & finding out that you'd be starting nursing school in 2 weeks... and I'm currently experiencing the exact same situation!! I was on the waitlist and expected to start nursing school in January of 2023 and now I start in just a few weeks!! The tears and reactions from my friends and family members were all so relatable to yours, and it's awesome to see that you're thriving and on the home stretch to officially becoming a nurse. You & your story are so inspiring and you give me so much hope that I think I'm gonna be okay. :) Thank you for doing what you do & sharing your experiences!
the way I screamed when I saw it on her instagram story 🥰
😘😘😘
Oh the pre-shift anxiety and especially the antecipation of not being able to fall asleep hit really close to home ahah The first two years of med school I had to take medication to help me sleep during exam season so you're definetly not alone! I really think its something you just learn how to deal with and with time and experience you become confident enough to be able to manage the anxiety. For example yesterday I had an exam and couldn't fall asleep the night before but I reminded myself that this had happened before and I still was able to do great the day after, so I made some tea, watched some confort youtube channels and eventually fell asleep. There's this really good quote that I read somewhere and it kinda changed the way I think and experience anxiety, it's something in the lines of "up to this point in your life, everything that has needed to get done has gotten done so there's no reason to expect that it won't get done in the future".
Also a reminder that overconfidence is the number one cause of medical error (at least where I'm from :) ) and that this anxiety is also a sign that you are aware of your capacity and limitations which is really important in our field!! You've got this
wow Maria thank you for this. I couldn't agree more. This is a relatively new thing for me so I am hoping it will just become easier with time!
I just graduated from nursing school and the pre-shift anxiety is REAL. I feel like I got more and more comfortable after every shift and having a nice preceptor really helps! Congrats on your last semester! Currently watching this video as I study for the nclex 🥲
I couldn't agree more! Happy studying...you're going to crush it!!
I love your vlogs so much, Kiara! 💓
I needed some study motivation thanks kiara, sending love from Egypt ❤️
You got this!
I love how real you are with us! Makes me feel less alone with my thoughts spinning through my head some days.
For summer plans: I really just want to enjoy life for the rest of this month! I just moved to a new town and will start my apprenticeship in august, so I have one month to get settled, get to know the town a bit before it all starts. I am also gonna meet a friend again I haven't seen since before rona and we are gonna go to free concerts on friday and saturday, which I am so excited about! I know I can still do things after I start working but it's just different bc now I have as much time as I want to do those things!
Summer activities as grown up, not many. But as a kid it was board games with family, staying with cousins, having sugarcane juices, mangoes 🤤🤤🤤 sleeping in late, ahhh. Those were the days. Now it is just staying in mostly and painting or reading a bit in late evenings
Have a great time with clinical. I have been working over summer break but I generally go to local bookstores or coffee shops
i love you and am so proud of you!!!❤️❤️❤️
I am going into my 3rd year of college but have completely switched schools to a tech school and majors so it’s like I’m starting over and I get a lot of anxiety over that. Also I’m going into respiratory therapy and I get anxious about not knowing if I am going to like it or be smart enough to for it. I totally get the whole anxiety of starting new things. You are not alone
Love ur videos so much!!! Fav summer activity is definitely swimming 🏊♀️
Your nursing school grind vlogs always motivate me!! Also my fav summer activity is hiking through the woods, I moved from the countryside to the city for nursing school and I seriously miss the smell of pine trees and dirt!
I am dying to go on a hike soon! Thanks so much for watching & commenting Amber!
as always, loved the vlog !! def more vids of your week of clinical !! During the summer, I always love going swimming, esp being at the beach with loved ones :) and this summer, I went to two concerts which were on my bucket list !!!
So fun! I need to go to the beach this summer...more videos to come, hope you have an amazing weekend!
Hey Kiara, your nursing school week looks pretty nice! You did a great job 🙂👍
Thank you!! 😊
i’m so proud of you. I love you!!!!! ps thanks for always celebrating life with me 🤍
I'm even more proud of u!! Miss you already ❤️
I have 2 boats and one more thing I need is a net to pull behind the two for fishing.
I'm so proud of you and happy for you!
Thanks Hailey!
This was so relatable. I just had my first week of my job out of school. My favorite summer activity is going to baseball games and farmers markets!
aww I love a good farmers market!! How did your first week go??
@@KiaraMadisen it was really good! My squad is great and so understanding and helpful in this transition time.
You and Shelby posting a video on the same day. YAY! Love it! ❤
Aww I love it! I'll have to go watch hers :)
Just Graduated nursing school! The boards is giving me anxities. But i wish you all the best of luck in finishing nursing school❤️❤️
Ahh I totally get you, I live alone too and have been ill the last couple of days so am feeling pretty socially starved! I've also only got 2 months left until my masters thesis is due and I've still got lots of experiments and writing left to do so was probably making myself more sick stressing out about potentially missing time in the lab. But I'm feeling a lot better today and after watching this video I'm feeling super motivated to get some writing done today and smash my experiments in the coming week. We've got this!! ❤
The food you make looks always so delicious and healthy 😍 I want to try your recipes some time :)
Thank you! I'm a big fruits and veggies gal...I'll have to do some more cooking videos soon!
The overthinking is a big thing for me too. Chamomile Tea with honey before bed. And I have a comfort audio book I listen to to fall asleep. Also Brown noise helped me alot and I try to only worry about the things I can control. Doesn't always work but I try 😅
Definitely going to have to try! Thanks for the suggestions ❤️
love watching your vlogs!!!
I love all your videos and your personality. I get the anxiety thing but it’s hard to give advice cause everyone is different but I just got a new job as a bank teller after only working in restaurants the past few years and I always worry about doing something wrong before I actually do something wrong. But I have learned to try not to stress until something happens and even then it’s a learning opportunity and people will understand or if they don’t oh well you are still trying your best and learning as you go. Rome wasn’t built in a day. And congratulations 🥳
Sounds like a big week for you! Have fun!
Thank you! You too!
Summer have been really chill. Visiting my parents and enjoying the time together before I go back to uni. Also trying to fix my sleep schedule after exams season is hard. Trying to go back into a good routine
so relatable. Hope you settle into your routine soon!
I enjoyed the video Kiara I hope that your week went wonderful and I’m glad that your first day of clinical went good also my favorite summer activity is swimming in the pool
Thanks so much for watching! I love a good pool moment!
@@KiaraMadisen your welcome and me to
Kiara, thank you for sharing vulnerably. This video can at a perfect time as I am entering my practicum in my field of study (mental health care) as of Tuesday!! I totally relate to you on all that you shared, and it was nice to remember that I’m not alone in this. SO proud of you as you take these big steps!!
Ahh I cannot wait to hear how it goes!! So proud of you too! look at us go :)
If I can't sleep the night before I'm nervous for something the two things that help me sleep the most are meditating before bed and listening to ASMR to fall asleep. ASMR literally changed my sleep after a stint of insomnia and it helped me so much! Both of those combined will put me out like a light, so I hope either one of them helps you!! Also, my favourite summer activity is definitely going to the lake and camping with friends or family, bonus points if ice cream is included at some point!
ICE CREAM!!! Yes. I am going to try this ASMR thing...thanks for the tips Jodie ❤️
Awww what a lovely video... congratulations on your first week, always have the best snacks & food to get you through a long shift. Summer activity going to the river to SUP with my kids or to the beach 🏖️ ...xo from ur UK NHS pal
Hi Kiara!!! Congratulations on everything you are achieving! 🤗🤗
And Happy 4th of July!! 🇺🇸🥳 🎉 🎊
All the best from Spain!! 😊
In therapy I learned that when you are stressed or have anxiety that I’ve got to think about what the worst thing is that could happen when doing the activity. It really has helped me to reflect on things😊
The anxiety is SO normal. I wouldn’t expect a student to not have pre shift anxiety. I still get some as a nurse. It helps to stack shifts together. So I only get anxiety before my first shift and then my next two are pretty much anxiety free.
Happy Independence day weekend, Kiara!🇺🇸❤️
Same to you!
Awwww that bathroom selfie looked familiar, I did my senior practicum at the same hospital! You’re almost a nurse, so exciting to see nurse content on RUclips!
No way! So fun. I love it so far!
New subscriber here. I'm also in Oregon 🙌 Im taking my prerequisites to get into the nursing program at UCC. I love these nursing vlogs 💞
Good luck!! I was placed as a new grad nurse in a paeds ward with ZERO experience with children, never changed a nappy or held a baby no experience. I was terrified and didn't really like kids at all!! It was an okay place to work but the staff where I worked were bullies and one of them made me hate it! Loved some of the kids and parents and not some of them! It definitely has ups and downs! Hopefully you like it!! (This is in New Zealand, I have a BSN and was straight out of high school!)
This vlog made me realize Kiara is the most wholesome vlogger I watch
stop you just made my whole day.
ok super colorful dress girly!!!
Love you 😍 thanks 🙏🏻
Love you too! Thanks for watching!
so, i get anxiety when I do something for the first time.... like a presentation or a test or in a more recent case for me is that i"m gonna be flying by myself for the first time EVER in my life and when i think about it to much I will spiral in my head when I even want to talk about it... I know I''ll be fine I've flown before but I also have a transfer flight so that adds to the stress...
How do you prepare for the NCLEX? Can you make a video about it ?🤩
Love your vlog :)
Thank you!! 😊
@@KiaraMadisen you’re welcome ☺️
My fave summer activity is paddle boarding. Clinical anxiety is legit brought on by nursing school...lol
So proud you made through the firsts of your new chapter 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love watching clips of the lake. Nothing like an Oregon summer! I get to cross off one of my Summer Bucket list items tomorrow. I am going to the Palm Springs Museum. It will be like 105 degrees out there… no biggie 🥵😂
Cool viewfinder effect from 19:26 to 20:00 You got hearts coming out of your head. LOL. Looks like an old VHS video effect. Did you do that in Final Cut Pro?
I use to have a lot to do at the hospital. My mom was in there and I was fighting with my insides bleeding to. The last time I was in the hospital in Missoula the dr said he thought I only have 2 years to live. He was going on having 10 pints of blood put in me and what he saw others go through who had the same thing done and what they went through. They all ended up getting cancer and the grave pulled them all in, in the end. I should get my resting place ready.
You're so adorable
Where did you get your bed frame from?❤
i’m starting the nursing program in the fall and i would love to know if you still use your ipad and if you would suggest one for notes!
Where is your tank top you wore on the boat from???
I don't watch often, but everytime I come to your channel you're starting a new day of school 😂😂 are you done yet? Are you a nurse now? Lol ❤️
Hahah I feel...my terms are short so I am in my final one! Yippie!
Not you and Lauren Norris uploading at the same time. 🤣🤣🤣 But I'm going to watch your first.
Aww so fun! It will be a marathon weekend!
To whom ever that is reading : You are fearfully and wonderfully made and you have a purpose ! Don’t let the temporary pleasures steal what God has eternally given you . You are loved by the most High 🤍
Is that a surfboard at the end of your video, behind you next to the HDTV? Do you go surfing? I don't recall seeing you do this on any of your videos. I tried this not any good at it. Fun though. Have you tried water skiing or jet skiing? So much fun.
I actually wakeboard, but have never tried wakesurfing so I got that to learn this year!
Just finished nursing school, i work part time as an extern, which i think is like a CNA in the US? After a week of not having worked and coming back, i literally get so anxious. Let alone fourth year placement i felt soo anxious both before and during shifts, i think u never rlly feel ready, but thats part of the process!
It really is so apart of the process! Congrats on being done! I can't wait to be right there with you!
Hey Kiara
are you doing capstone at dornbecher?
❤️
❤️
Kiara you will be a wonderful nurse. Cheese doesn’t really go bad.
can you show us hairstyles for working hospital?
I’m confused about your nursing program! It’s only your 7th day in the hospital and you’re already on your practicum? How many hours or hospital time are you graduating with? My program graduated us with 800 hours in the hospital.
What is capstone?
I miss you and Keegan together in your videos. She's so adorable. I follow her channel. Will you two ever do a video together again?
Yes of course! Miss her so so much ❤️
Doug is dope
Hi kiara 👍🙋
Hi!
Since I've been following your channel, you've always posted a video on a weekday not a weekend. Busy week? How long does it usually take you to edit a video? Have you ever considered using a wireless microphone that you can clip to your clothes while recording? It's easier to hear you and not hear so much background noise.
haha yes very busy week....it depends on the amount of footage but usually at least 7 hours...I haven't because it's not really practical for vloging, but I should but my mic on my camera when I am home :)
@@KiaraMadisen Your microphone doesn't do a good job picking up our voice and has a lot of background noise. I'm an editor and sound design. You could always hide the microphone inside your clothes.
Is this your first time at clinical, it seems so late since your in your last year
Is that an “I’m sweating” sweatshirt I see 👀 miss Hannah wya
Hi
hey hey!
Hi Kiara, How are you doing?
I'm good...trying to get through each busy week, but doing well!

Isn't anxiety in your head, like fear and depression? Don't we create that in our own mind? I took a Psychology class in college and the other students debated me on this. My professor agreed with me that most people who have anxiety, depression, and fear is in your head. Some people it's really a chemical imbalance but a low percentage. Maybe you should ask yourself why you have anxiety, depressed, or have a fear of something. These things can be overcome. Everyone has a different way of overcoming these things. This is my advice.
Such a good point! ❤️
I think people realize these things are in one's mind. But saying this to yourself isn't going to help. So your advice is kind of worthless.
Your microphone doesn't do a good job picking up our voice and has a lot of background noise. I'm an editor and sound designer. You could always hide the microphone inside your clothes.
I might have to think about investing!
You have a habit of calling your dad, Doug. My dad would have smacked me if I called him by his first name and wouldn't matter how old I am. I guess they're from different cultures. You replied back to me saying it was cute to call him Doug. But never explained why? Why do you think that's cute?
it's just easy to say and kinda stuck as a habit because my dad is such a Doug 😂
