It's always ✨The Best Day✨ when Kiara and Keegan post a video on the same day.
I couldn't agree more :)
HI Kiara! I am a physics student and I am specializing in medical physics. I worked for my final project working in proton therapy, where we mostly work with pediatric patients. So I can understand your feelings and excitement to be in this part of medical field.
We as physicists do not directly interact with patients, even though we directly work on patients when designing their radiation treatment. So it is really nice to see your side of our field and see what you nurses and doctors do all day long! I really enjoy your videos and you are such an inspiration!
Loved the video as always!! I totally agree with you, having a hobby or skill you’re building outside of work is so important. Playing tennis and painting are ways that I still get to grow my skills and find fulfilling milestones even if other parts of my life feel stagnant at times.
YES 👏👏👏 proud of you!
Always love watching these videos to wind down after a rough day!
How do I not stay complacent? I’m an English prof, so I am teaching the same essays/ content every semester. I love to change up my teaching methods or the way I teach/ approach a subject. It’s such a joy to hear students go from “I hate writing” to “wow writing can actually be fun”
You are amazing! Thank you for what you do and for keeping it exciting. I still remember my teachers who helped me improve my writing skills and I thank them every single day!
It sounds like your unit gained a great nurse when they hired you. So organised, caring and thoughtful. You're the ultimate role model!!! Answer to your question: celebrating the small achievements and really sitting in those moments, not chasing the next straight away.
Hey Kiara! Fellow Peds Hem/Onc nurse here😁 This video was such a refreshing reminder for me about the awesome highs that we experience in our field, especially since my unit has had a lot of emotional lows recently. Thank you so much for being a light for our profession and a great example for students who want to join our AWESOME specialty (the best specialty😁)
Aww this made me tear up! Proud of all the wonderful work we do, it has also been a particularly hard summer on my floor so I hope you are taking care of yourself on the days off!
Yep the mosquitos this summer are ugh. I’m an outdoor girl so I get to deal with the itchy spots when I get the bites.
I relate to this. like it was worth it for the mems but SO annoying.
AHHHHH you answered my question!! ❤️ I love your answer, giving the life saving chemo would be such a powerful skill to practice. You sound like the kind of nurse I love working with! It sounds like you are appreciated on your unit and it is well deserved ❤️
QOTD: rereading past journal entries! Reflecting on those anxieties and where you were at when the next mountain seemed impossible to climb, but you did it anyways. It shows you how much life is always moving, despite not always feeling that way on the day to day.
Thanks for asking such a great question! I gave some chemo today and it felt awesome :) I LOVE your QOTD answer. I feel like my videos do that for me, but journaling is so powerful too and it's so personal and special to celebrate your wins ❤️
I just found your page I’m also a Portland native going into nursing school for the pediatric oncology nursing. I wanna work Los Angeles and travel nursing in Canada
Thank you Kiara, I hope that you enjoyed your days off after
Oh I have been!
Hi Kiara! I am so happy I found your channel! I just had knee surgery and I have never hit subscribe so fast, I've been doing nothing but watching your videos while I recover. I am also highly active and outdoorsy (I am also a skier!) and a prospective ABSN student starting prereqs in the fall. I absolutely love your content and it's been so motivating!
yessss kiara just when i needed something to watch, def my comfort youtuber fr fr 💛💛💛
awww ily I love to hear that! Hope you have a good monday :)
One way I try not to become complacent in my nursing job is to try and improve my workflow or knowledge by doing (at least) one thing better every day!
Love this!
So awesome that you stuck with it! Congrats! ❤love watching your videos!!
Thanks for watching them!
That’s so so cool that your hospital has a break nurse! On the unit I work on (adult med surg/tele), our charge nurse breaks us for our 30 min lunch break, but since they have other responsibilities, they usually don’t help much with the nurse they’re breaking’s patients unless there’s some crisis. Legally we are supposed to get more breaks than just the one 30, but since we don’t have someone to break us, we realistically usually just don’t take any other breaks unless it’s a slow day (which is rare), or they’re interrupted quick breaks. I really love my coworkers where I work, but I wish we had more resources like this!
Wow yea 30 min is NOT enough and such a heavy burden for a charge to carry! I hope you can get more resources soon cuz that is simply not sustainable!
Kiara always has a good soundtrack to her life.
I spend so much time tryna find music so thank you!!
My unit has three "flex nurses" every shift. and their role is to walk around the unit & help us. Honestly saves the day, especially when things go south
3!? That is so amazing wow.
When kiara and Keegan post a video on the same day, it's a good start for the beginning of the week.
YES 👏
your cherry pajamas are SO cute!
thank you! i am obsessed with them!
I have never worked at a job with women that didn't have at least one mean girl. Your videos always bring me joy. You so remind me of my best friend of 44 years. She also skies. You are such an inspiration to young and old. You make me feel better about the future. Hugs
yea sometimes it's just sadly the reality and you can't let that change your experience overall!
I just try to live by the rule if it scares me I have to do it. Last week I took my first solo trip, spent a weekend exploring Athens. I also just got into uni so i'll be starting in a month and I'm terrified but so excited. Finished high school during covid and I've been unmotivated to continue studying but 4 years later I've decided to just go for it and major in english like I've always wanted to.
I am SO proud of you. This mindset is going to get you so far in life :)
That Keegan's video is so long I will watch this one really quick and then go back and finish hers :)
I'm gonna put hers on while I clean my room hehe
I ❤ these kinds of Q&A videos. How often do you make them?
I'm so glad! I love filming them so maybe I will make some more :)
I'm so excited when get notification
you have pure and innocent beauty
Great answers to those questions. Can see why you are a great nurse and I am sure you are motivational to be working with.
Have a great 7 days rest and relaxation.
My answer to your question - I try to choose one or two tasks that I wish to accomplish every day depending on how my energy levels and body aches are. If I am feeling not good I give myself grace and tell myself that my body is telling me to rest. Can be very frustrating through.
What an incredible mindset you have to be able to balance listening to your body and healthy challenge. Thank you for the sweet comment & support, hope your week is going smoothy & you have been getting some good rest to feel up to what you wish! 💕
@KiaraMadisen have been resting most of this week as head off on holiday tomorrow.
The cherry pj's are so cute! 🍒 😊🍒
tiktok shop did not disapoint 😂
Good morning, Kiara. Can’t wait to watch this video!
Yay! Hope you like it :)
✨Yay I think you also answered my question with your RUclips channel , I definitely feel like I can make it through nursing school thanks✨
You got this! Sending you the best vibes :)
Loved this video, ty for the great Q&A!!
Glad you enjoyed it! thx 4 watching 💕
You're so busy, even on your days off. How many days a week do you spend with your family?
" And I don't have to write a discussion post." Best line ever!
I never want to write one of those things ever again!
Put pimple patches on mosquito bites, best trick to do before going to bed! Saves me from the itchiness and they go away so much faster!!
i've heard of this and need to try!
Happy Monday
Same to you!
lovee work vlogs 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Yay! Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you modeling mask wearing for your patients' safety! I'd love to see you wearing kn95 respirators or better, especially in this current surge, but the surgical works in a pinch. hope you have a good week off and stay well!
Thanks! Yea it’s required on our floor and sadly they stopped stalking the KN95 ones I like :( I do a thicker one than the typical surgical mask cuz I like it more, but anyone visiting or working on my floor cannot come sick, so that’s helpful in keeping our kids safe too :) N95s on planes for me though….will not be getting sick from traveling and bringing it home!!
I had 2 intense surgeries and almost didn't make it in bottom them. I am lucky to be alive. I lost so much blood the surergon was surprised I made it.
I'm so glad you did too! Forever grateful for those who can act quickly in times of need in the medical world :)
My dream is to be a pediatric nurse. You are literally my inspiration 💞
keep chasing that dream!bit is SO worth it!
The last 3 days of July, Kiara!❤
This year is going by so fast it's wild!
Girl I love your videos but PLEASE don’t start them with an alarm it triggers the hell out of me 😂
hahha noted 😂
I checked your profile to see if you posted and I was right on time! Love your content 🤍🤍
You rock!! Thank you for watching :)
I think you would be an amazing MD. If you ever get the bug to go for it, you definitely should. Your bedside manner and just genuine caring person, would be ideal.
Omg link to the cherry PJs please
Do you have any specific things you use or recommend for mosquito bites? I’ve tried so many things and nothing has worked😭😭
Where did you get those pajamas??? Sooooo cute!
Tiktok shop! Just type in cherry pjs :)
When I’m really really tired I do a half coffee half hot chocolate that does the trick for me night shift CCU at UCSD is where I learned that🤪☕️
This actually sounds so good right now...
Hey what’s that you put on ur hand in the first clip?? I wanna try it!
Hii!! I had a question about school, when you were in highschool what clubs and classes were you in that helped you be a pediatric oncology nurse? im a sophmore in highschool and Im scared that im behind on the track that I want to be on. Thank you if you answer this!!
I feel like in high school It was nannying and interacting with kids of all ages that really helped me! I wish I did more like volunteer at a hospital, so you're never "not on track" doing things you're passionate about. I took 2 science classes a year throughout high school so I definitely had a strong science knowledge going into it!
Mosquitoes love me too. I don't like we get called mean girls either. I am not a mean girl. Great video.
Hi Kiara,
Any chance you can link your iPhone case? It’s super cute and I love seeing it in your videos! Also I have watched so many of your videos and you are such an inspiration to me🧡🧡 Getting ready to start nursing school in January 🙌

@@KiaraMadisen Thank you so much!!🧡🧡 Keep up the great content and also you are such an amazing person!
I heard of factor. Are the meals any good? It looks like a good portion. But that's like a snack to me. I can eat a few of those in one sitting.
I love them! Surprisingly very filling even though the container properly looks small on film, but especially the chicken dishes are more than enough for me :)
I’ve got a bunch of mosquito bites at the moment, they’re the worst!
So annoying! Still itchy a week later!
Hey Kiara
Hey!!
Hi Kiara, How are you doing?
I'm good, enjoying these fun summer days!
Do you get annual raises or bonus?
Not exactly, I work at a union hospital so my pay increases are based on a tier system. But since our new contract I do get a raise yearly, it just depends what each deal is.
Does u get any alveolar soft tissue sarcoma cases ...
we do see those!
@@KiaraMadisen👍
Nice video
Thanks for watching!
I don't know if you would feel uncomfortable answering this question but, as someone in health care are you advised to have patients veer away from any natural treatment or even things to just help with pain etc..? Like tea, castor oil, etc on top of traditional medicines and treatments? I have just had a lot of healthcare providers seem almost mad if I mention or ask about any of that or tell me its pointless even when I truly have felt better from things like that (of course with any medicine, physical therapy, treatments etc that they advise and prescribe). I've just been curious about that. Also I love your commitment to patients and ALSO being so creative and committed to your craft of doing youtube videos!
@@haleyherzog1089 I’m not personally advised to do so, and I’m all for if it makes you feel better and compliments western medicine, then go for it! But so many of our patients are told to try things that actually can interfere with their treatment working, so in that case it’s our provider’s responsibility to educate. And if there’s not data to scientifically back it up, as trained professionals, we are less likely to support it. Hope that makes sense :) everyone’s opinion is really different on this topic!
@@KiaraMadisen Thank you for that! I also understand especially a lot of your patients are enduring much more serious stuff than some gut discomfort, hormonal stuff or things like that which are also not as dire situations needing more serious and clinically studied treatment. That definitely makes sense :)
so sick of discussion posts in school haha
never having to do another one was the highlight of graduating 😂
❤
😘
Hi Kiara, Jesus loves you 🤍
Pro tip: Hydrogen peroxide gets blood out of sneakers very well!
yes 👏👏
It's good to start off a week when Kiara and Keegan post a video on the same day.

Jesus loves you❤
I can't leave dishes in my sink. I have to wash my dishes, pots, and pans before I go to sleep. My sink has to be spotless.
I usually do to, but all breaks loose during a busy work stretch lol
Kiara, you really inspires me to be more in routine🫶🏻🙏🏻
Happy to hear that, routine helps me keep my life together!
Kiara, I just started volunteering with the Ronald McDonald House (in Bend) and I get to visit the peds floor with our hospitality cart! I always think of you! 🫶
awww you rock! that organization plays such a HUGE role in our families lives! thank you for bringing joy 😘💕
