a week in the life of a nursing student | passing an exam, emotional breakdown, super chatty

[@emmacatherine7986]

Nursing school is so difficult, breakdowns are normal!! I am in my final semester of nursing school and I have had so many myself but it will all be worth it in the end!! Keep your head up girl you got this

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Thank you so much! Proud you, you’re almost there!!💗🎉

[@mirriammutti5683]

If you haven’t had a little cry than are you even in nursing school? Glad you felt better afterwards ❤️

[@crystalmendoza3411]

I start my first semester soon, not looking forward to the emotional toll it's gonna take on me. Crazy how I'm aware of how hard it's gonna be, and I still choose to put myself through it. But I'm really passionate about the medical field and I've never seen myself do anything else. :)

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Very true! Thank you 💗

[@perrythomas2343]

I like the dog and the cat playing in the background.

[@LilyVillegas3]

I was looking at that too!! Too cute!

[@madeleine2103]

They’re the cutest 🥰

[@KatieSev]

I couldn't stop watching them 😂 so cute!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

😂😂

[@catnicole09]

Honestly the crying session/breakdown before the exam is SO real and I appreciate the transparency!! nursing school is tough and that is literally me before almost every exam!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

I’m glad you appreciate it! It’ll all be worth it 💗

[@k_m_m23]

You don’t have to apologize for having a breakdown! I’m still doing nursing pre-reqs but I completely get it! I have had many lol. Our journey is not easy and I like that you show that 💕

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Thank you!! Good luck to you!😊

[@altinaboney7636]

I always love the realness in your vlogs, not that I love to see you get emotional, but its relatable and COMPLETELY understandable. We get it and have your back.

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Thank you so much!! I love hearing that 💗

[@alexiswhitener8681]

Girl the shit your going through is so normal. The breakdowns will come and go. Nursing school is such a roller coaster. Your doing amazing and your passion continues and I’m super proud of you. Go easy on yourself and be proud when you look down at all the effort you have put in!:)

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Thank you 🥺🥺

[@aaronrn2721]

The dog and kitten in the back playing is so cute 😍. Crying is like the first step of nursing school 🙈❤

[@AshleyTaylorr]

They crack me up. They’re the best!

[@lizzie5381]

Please don't ever apologize for having a breakdown, it is so relatable and normal! I am feeling the same way this semester and am really feeling a lot of added stress due to the global pandemic. You are so resilient and are stronger than you will ever know! :) Congrats on destroying that exam, it is your time to shine!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

That is so sweet. Thank you 🥺

[@000MonicaMusic000]

You're my favorite nursing related vlogger! You are so real and genuine. You're so inspiring, and seem to have such a good work life balance. Your videos help me stay sane during this pandemic.

[@audreawilson4334]

I’m about to start pre-nursing, thank you for not only showing the positive aspects but also the hard moments. You’re videos inspire me and get me so excited for nursing school!

[@JuliaKristine]

aw Ashley :( I can't tell you how many mental breakdowns I had during x-ray school where I felt like I knew nothing and nothing I did was right. BUT just know, from an outsider's perspective, you're absolutely k.i.l.l.i.n.g. nursing school, on top of putting out kick ass, genuine content

[@AshleyTaylorr]

I adore you Julia. Thank you ♥️

[@saniasherlivelyvlogs5171]

I am also a nurse from Pakistan... Just finished my final year n doing job... Happy to see your blogs

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Amazing!!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

That makes me so happy to hear!!😊

Girl I cannot believe you are almost done with school!!! That’s so exciting

Ahh thank you for posting this! I can’t wait to watch this when i’m done studying ! it’s okay to break down every once in a while, we are all human ❤️ love you & praying for your little family always ❤️

I love you C! You always make me smile

[@genessisrn2778]

Be strong we’ll get through! Just started second semester and can’t tell you how many breakdowns I’ve had since the beginning of the first one! It’s so tough and definitely not as easy as I though it would be getting into it! Praying for you and good luck on your journey 💛

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Thank you girl! We will make it and it will all be worth it!💗

[@CarterSullivan]

i literally just want to hug you when you cried... thanks for being so real with us boo!!!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

I love you 💗

[@KtotheB1218]

The breakdown is the beginning of the breakthrough. You’ve experienced the lows to get to the highest part. You go girl!!!

[@lenaann7691]

I’m sorry I disappeared for a while ... I certainly am going to catch up on all the videos 🙂 so excited to watch them and get motivation for school that starts tomorrow!!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Missed you Lena!! Happy you’re back💗💗

[@jeannelle_]

Never apologize for a break down! You got this! It’s always okay to cry it out! My last semester of grad school I cried like once a week for a month because I was so stressed & anxious! Definitely relatable! You are strong! Your best is enough ✨💪🏽

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Thank you so much 💗

[@katsch]

Had our "boot camp" week last week in nursing school. It felt like I didn't see the light of day I was sucked into paperwork and overwhelm. When you started crying I just wanted to reach through the screen hug you. You're not alone. 💖 You're doing amazing!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Thank you so much!💗💗💗

[@Sophie-km7cb]

I am a relatively new subscriber and when I tell you I have been binging your videos I am not lying!! I just graduated as an RN here in New Zealand and I love seeing how other countries nursing schools work!! love your work and I can not wait to continue watching you and see you succeed!! xx

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Awh thank you for being here🥺

[@jodianne4619]

The only thing with the scrunchie band is it holds onto a lot of bacteria, especially when you're in the hospital. Id say a band thats easy to wash would be best. Also I had a mental breakdown last week! i think we are all on the same page when it comes to nursing school

[@AshleyTaylorr]

A lot of the nurses I worked with this week at clinicals had scrunchie wrist hands for their Apple watches and said they felt more bacteria was likely with the silicone ones cus water would get trapped in the overlapping areas and they didn’t always have time to dry it all. Plus, I ran these through the washer and they washed perfectly. I will switch off between shifts and wash them every time :)

[@iamjazmierajanayy]

I encourage you to go back and watch your video that you did after applying to nursing school! You had no idea in that moment that you were going to get in BUT you did it!!! So proud of you, shed those tears and keep going girl! I’ve already submitted my application for Fall of 2021 but I have 3 prereqs left and I need to retake my HESI in April so I won’t be finding out until June if I’m in!! 🙏🏽💕 wishing you all the best!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Thank you darling! I hope you get in and sending you so much love and luck!!💗

[@ceragray2908]

Do you have a video about how you do your notecards? I’m currently in nursing school and in need of better study habits. Love the vlog!

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Yes! I go over them in the vlog uploaded before this one!

Your amazing !! I love you! ❤️ I love your talks and your such a true person . You’d be my friend girl ! ❤️

[@taylorjock874]

Sometimes you just need to cry and regroup 😂 I've literally started crying before because I had so much work to do and my eyes were starting to kill me looking at my computer screen.

[@AshleyTaylorr]

True 😂

[@kimberlycrane8484]

Sven and marvel playing in the beginning of the video was the cutest thing 😂

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Hahaha I love them

[@emmaelsea8048]

You should do a video on how you make your notecards

[@AshleyTaylorr]

I included that in the weekly vlog before this one!

[@victoriacastelline4384]

Loved the chatty vlog!!! Listening to your vlog while studying today. I don’t really like the silicone bands either but feel like I can disinfect them easier. I really like the scrunchie ones you bought. I’ve never heard of those.

[@AshleyTaylorr]

I washed them in the washer and air dried them too incase I get anything on them at work and they’re awesome!!

[@Clintong5150]

girl do not feel bad about including clips of you crying! we can all relate lol

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Thank you 😊😂

[@juliakruzan4452]

I’m in my last semester of nursing school and I have an Apple Watch as well and love using it at work and during clinicals however I do recommend having a band that you are able to wipe down and clean easily! You never know what you’ll get on your watch🙈

[@AshleyTaylorr]

These actually wash in the washer! Silicone rubs on my wrist band weird and it’s very uncomfortable. They’re super affordable too so it they get ruined by something or stained to the point where washing won’t help, I’ll just get some new ones!😊

[@juliakruzan4452]

@@AshleyTaylorr ohh then that’s super convenient! And honestly much cuter than mine🙃

[@MehanaLee]

This is exactly how I picture nursing school to be like 🥲 thank you for being so transparent ❤️ you inspire me to do well in my pre reqs for the nursing programs I’ll be applying to next year! Xo

In ireland the student nurses placements got cancelled due to covid. Theyre bringing in professional tutors instead.

[@AshleyTaylorr]

Tutors are amazing love that they are doing that for y’all!

[@Febzpassion]

@@AshleyTaylorr Honestly so sad that our placements got cancelled, would love to still get hands on experience as a nursing student! but I feel so bad for tutors aswell, they're probably handling a lot of students and having to do two jobs!
