I’ve been thinking about being a nurse and going into the medical degree and you have really inspired me to do so! Love what you do girl:)
I have sat for NCLEX Exam for the 9th time now and still failed , i guess licence isn't meant for people like me🤦♂️💔😥
Believe me , what ever you do never give up, finally l've become a licensed Registered nurse on my 3rd attempt , I can't believe I almost gave up after not making it for the 2nd time, fortunately for me I was recommended to a tutor by my friend's
Well, I've taken the exams for the 6th time now and still didn't succeed, i wonder how those who succeeded did it. 😥💔
So sorry to hear you guys complain deeply of failing the exam. But I will assure you that NGN nclex exam won't be a problem to you anymore,if you work with someone like Mrs ELISABETH HELEN. She help me through my exam and I made it through. 💪❤️🎉🤗
Took my NCLEX -RN test last week and passed with 150 questions on my first try!! Huge Thanks to Mis ELISABETH HELEN, she is a game changer 😊✨
Your positivity is like a breath of fresh air! Thanks for spreading love and light wherever you go. 🌟😊
I’d love a in depth video on agency nursing! I’m entering my second semester and looking for more information on positions that aren’t talked about
I've currently become a soin nurse in specialty fields of mental health and clinical training and education, I thank you for spending the time to show the health community your aspects of your career, we all love it and hope to inspire more astounding nurses or clinical nurses to the team!!
I love the way you styled your fit & your claw clip in your hair.
I love your confidence!
Being a nurse floor manager director interesting facility allows nails over 3 inches infection control per CMS but it’s a memory unit maybe an ALF OR B SBC C SNF still ironic nails
Keep doing this videos you are really helping people who are thinking about being a nurse 🤍
Videos make me so excited for ejen i start school in the Spring ❤
I am just saying this because you are still a fairly new nurse. Please be careful with potential HIPPA violations and blur out patient information on med labels.
The video is very interesting. I am a student who would like to obtain a degree in medicine. Thank you for this energy in the video ❤❤😊
GO FOR IT GIRL! 🩺🫀
u are cute and pretty wanna be friends?
omg just goals, this is my dream life 😩😩
No matters what kind of nurses we are indeed is one of the most dedicated , hardworking job ever . Our patience or clients depends life really depends on us but we just never get the credits we deserve or pays what fair for our dedications on the job . We inherits just about ever sickness our patients or clients have . I am a full supporters of all the nurses all over the country and hopefully we’ll get a good pay soon for our hard works through the years ❤
Those nails are a health and safety hazard and in the UK would be banned under our infection control policies. Also you put patients in danger from scratches and cuts especially those who are frail with fragile skin.
She doesn't have to do much hands on as an LPN.
@@spacebabe it doesn’t matter it is against regulations and infection control.
What’s an LPN . Also I’m a nurse in the uk and I agree even in outpatients they are not allowed nails
you are right suzan!
Aww. Fingernails too long...😢
i love your personality!💕
Great work..your best day goes supper cute ❤️
Thank you for this amazing video. Could you tell me how long did you have to work full time to be competent enough to have a PRN job?!
Hey Lorena I’m in school to be on my way to be a nurse. I have learned a lot from your videos :) Where are your scrubs and the black zip up jacket from ?
I work for island too… I love agency!!
I’m studying to become a doctor, and i’m in love with your videos 💗💗
aww good luck, I know you’ll make it!!
we watched your video in class haha very inspiring
The Nclex exam is very difficult to pass, I can't believe i failed after studying with so many materials😞
Sometimes it doesn't matter how hard you study you also need to pray to God for success
@ very correct
I have a cousin who never studied much, we studied together but she gives most of her time to her phone than her studies after writing the nclex exam last month she passed and i failed😢, i asked her how she did it, just found out she got help from Mr Richard
Please does anyone know who this Mr Richard is? I really need to speak with him I'm frustrated 🥺
Wow so sorry you failed, i have heard so much about Richard but I don't actually have his info
Great video
I have been working as an ESL teacher abroad for the past 6 years. Recently I registered for fall semester 2024 to start my nursing school.
I would love to know what ALF this is! It seems very laid back. I too am an agency nurse. I worked at an ALF where I was left as the only nurse for a total of 5 fl’s. 4FL’s for AL and the dementia unit and it was out of control!! I didn’t finish my morning med pass until 11am. That med pass included some wound care dressing changes as well. Then I had to restart because all my BS and insulins were due again at 11am alongside noon meds. Take it from me, not every ALF is as laid back. Some feel as though you are working in a skilled facility.
definitely agree. i am a nurse for 20 yrs now, licensed in 3 countries, nails like that for nurses is a NO NO sorry
Your doing great.❤❤❤
Nice room 🎉
Hi! What agency do you work for and what should you look for when picking an agency? xo
Nice video! Nursing is something l really want to do but currently I'm studying public health in school and l haven't seen nursing on my degree planner... hopefully l get to do introduction to nursing within my school year.
Hey just found this cool nurse shirt I found on Etsy! Isn't this cute? WizardsofTees
hi fellow nurse! just very curious since I'll be moving in the US hopefully next year- is it okay for us to have manicured extended nails? 'coz I want mine pretty too but I dont wanna be reprimanded
I don’t think most of them allowed it, you would have to ask
Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lorena Ohh everything from top to bottom huh😊 anyway is nursing home hard?
Awesome video Lorena love you 😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I start my schooling for nurses aide next month!!!
Where is that watch from at 2:48?! Beautiful ❤
Where is your screen background from?
I’ve always wanted to be a nurse, how old are you now and what schooling did you have to do to get where you are now?
I am currently 20 years old, I did my LPN in high school my junior and senior year so there weren’t any entrance exams, just had to have a good GPA. Then for my RN I had to take the TEAS exam and I chose a school that included the prerequisites so that it would be faster!
@@LorenaNicolwhat school did u attend?
Was it absn
@@LorenaNicol If you already did lpn why do pre requisites again??😅
@@bhumilama7745you still need prerequisites as LVN for any RN program
Beautiful 😍,,but the nails are long how do you manage it while attending to ur patients???
i want eveyone who’s a nurse to be completely honest with me before going through this journey
is this job hard? like mentally hard? will i find myself crying because i feel stupid and useless?
Will i get in trouble if don’t know how to do something?
is this job mentally stressful everyday?
and do people actually like being a nurse rather then for money ?
hi! first, if you don’t have a passion in helping everyone and literally EVERYONE, nursing is not for you and you’ll catch yourself working just for the money (which eventually will drain you). the job requires TONS of responsibility because the patients lives are in your hands. nursing can be very mentally draining, but if can also be very rewarding which is why it is crucial that you find a balance between work and your private life (so that it doesn’t drain you). Personally, when I was first a nurse, yes I passed school and my NCLEX but it’s completely different once you’re on the floor. yes I did feel like I was useless and didn’t know anything, but that’s just part of the beautiful process. You learn based of experiences and set backs but at the end of the day, it’s 100% worth it! I will be uploading a video this upcoming week on tips on how to balance your life while being a nurse and what you can do so that it can be the best experience!
@@LorenaNicol you are actually the sweetest for this 🥹 thank you
hey, can someone tell me how do I go to nursing college? im from Brazil and I want to move to another country
Hi. I’ve been a nurse for 2 years (still considered a baby nurse) and want to give you my perspective on the job. Is the job hard, yes. Mentally? Yes. Will feel stupid and useless? Yes, at first. If you don’t know how to do something, always ask someone who has more experience than you, coworkers or charge nurse. Is it stressful everyday? There will be good days and bad days. With all that said, I LOVE THIS PROFESSION. I chose this job not for the money, although you can get great money by traveling, but because of the FLEXIBILITY. If you don’t like the job (floor, specialty, shift) you can can go into something else with the same degree. I was on a cardiac stepdown unit on nights for 20 months ( went part time due to burnout) and just started my new position in the operating room and I LOVE IT. I always knew I wanted to go into the OR since school. For all aspiring nursing or nursing school students, know yourself and where in nursing you will best fit. How do you figure that out? Shadow a nurse, watch RUclips videos, that shows what different types of nurses do on a shift. I see a lot of newer nurses coming into the profession with different expectations and end up hating and leaving the career altogether and didn’t even exhaust all of the nursing specialties/opportunities that is out there. Hope this helps.
@@n.pierrehello, I choose the nursing major but now I'm thinking about switching to psychology cause it's hard for me to deal with feces and all other bodily fluids. I'm a squeamish person and I don't know if I can handle cleaning other people's private areas and such. Are such things unavoidable in nursing? Please give me some advice if you can, thank you.
Hi Lorena, many thanks for your response very kind, I ask you another thing please.
I followed some videos in which it explained that there are some agencies that sponsor care givers with Visa EB3. Do you know something about this.
Where do you live extacly just out for curiosity.
Many thanks. Hi.
I don’t know anything about EB3 and I live in floridq
@@LorenaNicol It's ok. Thanks
My dream job❤
I really wish I had pursued nursing when I was in high school. Now I’m working as a resident assistant at a nursing home, wanting to go to school for nursing but it being expensive and having a 2&1/2 year old makes it feel impossible.
Hi you can do anything if you put your mind and heart into it
what brand is your watch from?
Hi, How's it going? I hope you're happy on this day and I hope your family is doing well. Wow, I love the place where you live and The neighborhoods here are beautiful. Well, You're a successful woman because You know how to organize your activities and You're a great example of discipline. Yeah, You have good habits and You know what you want from life. Thank you very much for this video, keep up the good work, This is your thing. Greetings from Lima, Peru. 🇵🇪🦙🙂👍👏👏👏👩⚕️🧑⚕️👩⚕️🧑⚕️👍
Lots of love from India. ❤
May I know where is your bottle from? ❤
how do you keep your sky light on? mine turns off after a certain point.
hi, mine turns off after 5 -6 hours and the night before I had gone to bed around midnight so that is why it was still on !
Jesus loves you.
Türkiyeden selamlar...Bende hemşireyim...Yaptığımız işi seviyorum 😊❤🙋♀️
What agency do you use? I’d love to look into using an agency as a nurse. 😊
I want to what you do I one day I will I really respect what you do
📬 Good video👍💯 You might want to move your bed away from window. Especially during spring time. Small bugs got into my bed and I ended up in hospital😖
your nails look so good but have you ever gotten in trouble for them? I really want to keep mine
thank you my love and no I have never gotten in trouble or have been told to cut them
Wow I’m impressed you can do nursing with such long nails 😮
Even if she’s allowed to at her job, she shouldn’t it is very unsanitary and dangerous for her and her patients.
99.9% of places don’t allow this. It’s probably ok because she goes through an agency and gets away with it.
So many nurses or CNAs have them in like long term care facilities and I don’t understand how it doesn’t gross them out basically having a night club for these germs to come and hang out on your hands
This reminds me of my first clinical ever in nursing school, there was a CNA was really long nails, longer than hers. It’s gross, just get dip or gel on your natural nails.
I don't think it works like that in Canada 😅😅
Nice scrubs girl
i recommend getting some reef rock for the clowns
Girl, I could not be a nurse lol. I'm working towards becoming a veterinarian, and I have to say: I do NOT have the patience for people.
do u feel like having three long says in a 7 day week makes having four days off fair? i would hope u dont get too bored
I work 50-60 hours a week and I never get bored :)
I would really love to study nursing, as an international student I find it difficult to pay, any advice? :(
Don't go for it
Do you have to change diapers?
How do u put on gloves on those nails?
It looks difficult but it’s completely not. I always wear gloves when I am with my patients
❤
where is join hospital??? Same I'm nurse in india
can someone tell me how do I go to nursing college? im from Brazil and I want to move to another country
first you have to transfer any educational credits that you may have from Brazil and then find a school that you like. You also have to have a US green card to be able to study here. When you start school you may have to complete some prerequisites but that’s just part of preparing you for nursing school 🫶🏼
@@LorenaNicolhello after pre requisites what is the duration of RN program?
Love you mam 🎉🎉❤
Hello!
How many patients do you usually have on a day shift?
hi, it depends on the facility that I attend. I usually have anywhere between 12 and 30 patients
❤ So cute
My like is the transition from 4.1k to 4.2k😂
are you a RN or LPN?
Hi, where did you get the brow honey?
I got it from my lash tech!
Im trying to figure out how you are allowed to work with those nails
❤❤❤❤❤
What that light in your room
Hi! It’s the bliss sky light, you can get it from Amazon
How many years does it take to become a nurse
It all depends on if you want to be an LPN or an RN and if you are full time or a part time student. My LPN took me 2 years because I did dual enrollment and my RN program is 15 months full time!
😊@@LorenaNicol
Le me doctor: wish I had this luxurious life😂
Hi, I am a new member, I follow your video is very interesting, I am Italian and I am a caregiver with experience, I would like to come in USA and working as a Caregiver, at your advice, I ask you is it difficult to find a job as a caregiver msybe askung to an agency.
Many thanks.
hi love, in the USA it is very easy to find caregiver jobs either through private or agency. right now there is a huge shortage of caregivers, CNA’s, and nurses so the facilities definitely need some employees. I would just come fully prepared financially just in case but personally, I don’t think you’ll have an issue finding employment!
I am a nurse just duty lots of hard working 😢😢
Which university...?
What in the infection control are those nails
Are nurses allow to have nail extensions?
It depends on the hospital ig
Hi
Gotta say I’m happy to see the nails. I just got back into nursing and I refuse to get rid of mine.
do you go to nursing school?
Like nurses have their uniforms at home ? Here in Denmark the uniforms are at work and you leave them their after work. I think you will even get in trouble for coming dresses in your uniform because they are afraid we are being germs 🦠 with us. On the other hand we are not taking germs 🦠 with us at home. But Americans have cute uniforms tho😊. As we mostly only were white in the hospital.
Oh and she can even have king nails and nail polish? We are told already at nursing school, no long nails, no nail polish and hair has to be tied up. Amazing how it’s so different.
hi! there is a common misconception about nails and uniforms. In nursing school we are taught as if we were only working in hospitals. in hospitals you aren’t allowed to have nails, long nails, nail polish etc. and uniforms are usually taken off when leaving. I don’t work in a hospital, I go to assisted living facilities and rehab centers which are completely different settings than hospitals :)
@@LorenaNicol okay. Right now am working at a rehabilitation center and the rules are the same. But good for you. I have to keep my nail short😊
Which Country Is This Sister?
Please read EBP on long nails in healthcare, it’s not hygienic.
What is your salary as a Nurse?
Come with me❤
oh no girll those nails are toooo long. & pls dont use too much perfume :[ pts can be very sensitive to smell & can trigger a lot of stuff (esp cancer, respiratory, & neuro pts & a lot more)
Buenos dias
How you can work with these nails
Girl get you some compression socks 😩 you won’t ever go back to normal socks for a shift
What kind of nurse are you?
Are you a RN or LPN? ❤
Nail 😂😂😂😂
are u agnecy nurse or travel nurse?
Nails
O god, how do you wear gloves and do task aseptically
Her nails 😮.
Do you think 26 years old is to late to start nursing?
Absolutely not!! it is never to late to start!!
I'm 36 and just graduated last November as a PN and will be taking my NCLEX this month. It's never too late
How do you get away with having long nails?
