    found your page at the end of last year when I found myself unexpectedly hospitalized for almost a month. I loved seeing the “other side” of what I was going through through a nurse’s eyes. It’s so true that being a position where you are really caring for people creates a special if temporary bond. I am so grateful to people like you who come to work every day with grace and compassion and the desire to do good by your patients. Keep doing what you’re doing.

    New grad RN here! Loved your video 🥹 I’m exactly one month in of working in an ER and wow has it been a journey already. Sometimes I get a knot in my stomach the night before my shifts, I’ve just felt so incompetent. But like you said, some days are better than others and I have those moments where everything just clicks. Then I go back the next day and I’m back at square one lol. I’m just pushing through and trying to learn as much as I can so I can be a great nurse for my patients. Again, loved the video because it’s nice to know all these feelings are normal. 🥹🫶🏼

    Im nearing the end of nursing school with one semester left. Im still struggling to figure out what area of nursing I want to go into but ER is an area i'm interested in but am very nervous, the first clinical in the ER I was so so scared but I think it was because it was very important to me and a big interest of mine since a kid. I would like to ask you, how did you know ER was where you wanted to go and did you have other areas you were considering or was it an immediate feeling of "ER is it"? Thank you for sharing your experiences and tips !!

    Hello, I worked about 10 and half months at Kaiser clinic residency program and resigned three weeks ago, I wasn't enjoying the nursing jjourney and am not sure which area of nursing area that I want to work in. Do you have any suggestions of how I can find my niche and enjoy being a nurse and also, how did you know you wanted to work in the ER?

    I have questions as a father sending my kid to the University to earn her BSN just last month. Thank you for the videos and update.
    1. With an associates degree how much is the pay in all 3 different shifts.
    2. With a BSN how much more will be earned.
    3. What is the name of the school you will be
    earning your BSN
    4. Where did you earn your Associates degree.
    5. Is there a nursing simulation training online that you recommend.

    Hi Sierra!! Been watching you for a long time and I’m so glad you’re back! TOMORROW (9/7/23) is my first day as an ICU new grad!!! I’m in the ICU support pool (not float pool), so this means I get to be in cardiopulmonary, neuro, surg/trauma, medical, and burn ICU! No peds for me thankfully lol, not for me. So exciting, and thank you for your words of wisdom!! Much love from NY! Though I’m a new grad nurse, I’ve been an ICU tech for a few years and you’ve got the ICU touch I can tell. I cannot believe we have the same love for flight too! I got to do a rotation in school with a local flight crew and it genuinely changed my life. I did that as a student so I’m sure you could shadow as an ER nurse!!!

    • @SierraLyn
      @SierraLyn  7 месяцев назад

      I totally get that & you are not alone! I'm fortunate enough to be able to take him to my parents when I work! I'd suggest Rover, talking with others that you will eventually work with about helping, getting a pet camera, or checking in on your lunch if that's feasible!

    I just graduated nursing school in June and started my residency in the medical ICU and it’s been quite the learning curve but I absolutely love it! I feel like you would flourish in the ICU! The patient care and connects you get to build with them and their family during the worst/scariest moments of their life is priceless. I know you get the same type of situations in the ED but you definitely get to build more of a connection in the ICU. So excited for you and your upcoming ventures!!! 💕💕💕

    Hey Sierra, I am just starting my LAST year of nursing school and have been working as an undergrad on a post surgical floor for 1 year. I am an aspiring Labor and Delivery Nurse! It is SO important to take care of yourself. I also gave this advice to a first year nursing student the other day: Call your mom and each semester or season of your life will push you in different ways. I never could have imagined the experiences that I've gotten in nursing school and as an undergrad but I am so glad that I have. Thank you for sharing!
