Hi lovely! Thank you for watching my video, I completely understand what you mean because this was me with pharmacology! You do use anatomy and physiology quite a lot, but I would also say that once you're working or doing your placements, I find that you'll remember things easier and for longer because you have the practical experience to support your knowledge. Another thing to remember is that when you're on placements or in your first nursing job, your colleagues will be really aware and understanding that you're new and still learning, and won't judge if you have to ask questions or for help. So try not to stress! You're doing a wonderful job and will be an amazing nurse xx

You’ve always been so lovely and supportive of me Faye and I really really appreciate it! I’ll be catching up on your vlogs this weekend, can’t wait! 💖☺️✨

Thank you so much for supporting my channel lovely! Faye is just amazing and I love watching her vlogs, they just inspire me so much :) Congrats on starting your nursing journey! You've totally got this xx

Thanks for watching! Good luck for your next placement!

Hi lovely, thanks for watching - I think this question would best be put forward to a dietician or your GP as it is actually quite complex. Everyone is different and so needs different things to nourish them, you would have to take into account what non-veg or veg foods you were eating, how much, when etc to properly answer this question, which I am unable to do. Sorry that I can't help more!

Thank you very much!

I’m so grateful for all your support Faye! ☺️💖

Thank you Hamza! ☺️

Thank you so much Faye! And huge HUGE congrats on finishing nursing school! You must be feeling so joyful 🥳🥳🥳

@@charlottemiriam thank you it honestly still hasn't sank in 🤣❤

I did! I got my job at a general practice clinic :)

@@charlottemiriam great 👍

It is frustrating that the netp program is being paused in hospitals - hopefully they will re-evaluate!

Hi there lovely! Yes :) You address all netp coordinators listed for the region of health NZ you are applying for (eg: for Health New Zealand - Te Toka Tumai Auckland, there are 5 coordinators listed, so you address all 5 of them). Hope this helps!

Thank you Hamza!

Thank you so much for supporting my channel lovely, it means so much to me! And big congrats on being almost there - you've got this and I'm proud of you!

I love this so much! And that's so reassuring to hear because it does get difficult when I start comparing myself to my colleagues and how much knowledge they have :) I am loving practice nursing and feel so grateful for getting this as my job, so the task box is worth it hehe

@@charlottemiriam you will do well!!! (ps I still compare myself and I'm nurse lead 🙈😂)

Hi lovely, not entirely! In hospitals I think from next year they will be pausing the new entry to practice programmes, which is the new graduate program you do for assessments and extra support in your first year of nursing. So new graduates will still be able to apply for jobs and get hired, but it won't be for entry into the NETP program, which kind of sucks :(

Hi lovely! Thank you so much for supporting my channel :) I totally understand where you're coming from as I also worry deeply about getting things right and passing. My best advice is that sometimes you just have to do it and push through! I went through a hard time in my second year where I had lots of self-doubt and I fell behind, I really wanted to drop out, but pushing through led me to an amazing third year and now my career! I also think talking to others really helps because they can give advice or new perspectives, and working with others - I had a group chat with a couple of nursing school friends where we helped each other through. My last thing that has helped me since high school is making study schedules, because I feel like it calms me down as I feel more in control of the situation. When I do that, I know exactly what I have to get done and when, and it makes me feel more prepared. If you're worried about falling behind, you could start off with a small study schedule prior to starting just to brush up on some basic anatomy and health, so you walk into nursing school feeling a bit more confident. I loved Lecturio (which has a free platform) - they do bite sized videos which explain health topics really well so maybe start with something like that? Sorry I know that's all such bleurgh advice but that was what genuinely helped me through :) Nursing school is a roller coaster ride but I am so grateful that I did it, so I hope you're able to go and start your nursing journey! You're so capable and I know you can do it xxx

@@charlottemiriam Thank you so much! I am looking into different avenues I can take to become an RN in the States. You only need to have 2 years of school to be eligible to take the NCLEX boards and I already have a lot of prerequisites done for my bachelor's degree in psychology. I am applying to be a nurse's aide so hopefully, that will give me more experience. I really appreciate your encouragement. Best of luck on finishing your diabetes seminar it seems really interesting.

Thank you so much lovely! I really appreciate your support :)

Hey lovely! Thank you so much for supporting my channel! I really appreciate it :) I always tell people not to worry if they haven't done any science in school - at uni, they will tech each paper from scratch, under the assumption that it is entirely new information to everyone. There is also a mix of students, like some people will be returning to uni after a career change and may not have come straight from school, so the lecturers kind of have to teach everything from scratch anyway! I think the most important thing is that during the semester you put a little bit of time aside to study for your papers, and then you will be totally fine :) You've got this!

Thanks for watching and supporting my channel lovely! Thank you for your brilliant suggestion - I'll definitely add this to my filming schedule :)

Thank you so so much for watching my video and supporting my channel! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it :)

@@charlottemiriam Hi, Charlotte. Btw What app are you using for flashcards? I forgot the name.. I've already downloaded a few apps that you recommended. I also like the "I am"👍 Thanks Have a good day🌸

It's called Anki! :)

Hi lovely! Thank you so much for supporting my channel and a huge congrats on starting your nursing journey! I chose AUT because I got the impression that it was less competitive and slightly more hands on than other universities, which suited my character and way of learning. My second choice was University of Auckland because of the quality of teaching you get there. Hope this helps!

Thanks for watching, Hamza!

I'll add it to my filming schedule lovely! Thanks for watching :)

All the study days I've been on have either had costs covered for by my practice such as the immunisation training, or we get paid for to attend them (like the diabetes one). It may vary practice to practice, but I think the general idea is they're paid for which is pretty cool! Hope this helps :)

@@charlottemiriamHmm.. Thank You So Much🙏

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words - have a wonderful day :)

Thank you so so much for watching and supporting my channel lovely! I'm so glad you enjoyed :) Practice nursing is the best so you've made a great choice hehe

I will do my best lovely! Thanks for watching :)

I feel like as long as it is relevant/transferable or you can link it a little to nursing, that would be a great idea! At the end of the day, it is your resume and you are adding what you think best reflects your skills and your character, so it is up to you what you want to add :) Overseas experience would also be an amazing talking point in interviews for them to get to know you :) Thanks for watching, lovely!

What a lovely team! It is such a thoughtful and brilliant gift for nursing students :) Thanks for watching, lovely!

Green is such a vibe! Love it :)

Dark brown and copper sounds like such a classy combo! Thanks for watching, lovely!

The light blue is so pretty! Thanks for watching, lovely!

Thank you so much lovely, you're so sweet! I'm so happy you found the video helpful :) I personally would definitely add your midwifery skills because not only does it showcase your experience but also creates another talking point for interviewers. Even if you didn't add it in skills, I would still talk about it somewhere in your CV like in your personal summary or even your clinical placement history if you had any midwifery placements. Hope this helps and best of luck!

Hi lovely! Thank you for watching my video :) I think the main difference is that polytechnics tends to focus more on practical hands on skills than universities do. Another difference is the type of programs offered, like at polytechnics, it is unusual for them to offer papers like classics or law, while it would be unusual for universities to offer papers like hairdressing or makeup artistry. I think also class sizes at polytechnics are a lot smaller. I really hope this answers your question!

I think things just get a bit hectic in your last semester because you juggle your ACE application, transition placement, your assessments and might start thinking about the states, but aside from that I always found that there was plenty of time to study throughout my nursing school journey! When preparing for the states exam, at AUT we had a whole month where we had nothing else going on aside from states study, so no placements, other assessments or lectures, it was just one whole month to prep for the exam. I didn't mean to scare you lovely! You'll have plenty of time to study xx

Big congrats on starting your nursing journey at MIT lovely!

Congratulations on starting your nursing course

Thank you Hamza! Glad you enjoyed it :)

Thank you so so much lovely! I really appreciate it :)

You're so close and you've got this! Thank you for watching lovely :)

Thank you lovely! I'm glad you found it helpful :)

Thank you so much, Faye! Your support means so much to me :)

Thank you very much Hamza!

Hi there! In New Zealand, nursing schools will teach you content under the assumption that you have no-little prior knowledge about the topic, so they will start from the very basics to make sure everyone understands!

Thank you! Literally my dream stethoscope :)
