"I was like...I don't know how to wash your blood" 😂😂😭

[@nursetamika]

You’re so AWESOME!!! A prayer to say daily...”Lord help me to remember that nothing is going to happen to me today that You and I can’t handle together.” Because of your great tips, my first semester of nursing school has been a breeze. Thank you!

[@whitneyg1294]

This video has me in tears. Especially seeing how far you have come from here. I’m 12 weeks from graduating and I’m so anxious about starting my role of a nurse. I’m so afraid of hurting a patient. I just really want to be the best nurse. This video is very encouraging and just you saying you drive to work and your not scared and you feel confident makes me feel better.

[@leneescott]

I just passed my NCLEX Monday, and will be transitioning from a Critical Care Tech to a Nurse in the ED April 9th, and I'm scared as hell 😭😭😭

[@peridot2k]

I love how you’re always so honest in your videos! Nursing has been something I’ve been interested in for a while now, and it’s nice to hear first hand what it’s like. So thanks for posting!

[@irockstar7744]

Love the ER updates! I have about a year left of nursing school and honestly I don't know what field of nursing I wanna go in but I'm currently finishing up with my maternity clinicals and I have definetly started to fall in love with any nursing mother baby related. Labor & delivery, NICU, postpartum. Love love love

[@shaniagamble5717]

I plan to be a midwife💖💖

[@sarac.2601]

I have a pretty complex medical history and I’m sixteen. Sometimes I feel like nurses tiptoe around me but it’s the ones that ask questions and ask ME for help that actually do the best job.

[@Jasmine-kg5zc]

Congratulations girl, you're on the trending page for Creator on the Rise!!! You're so inspirational and I wish you more success and good vibes, continue to do great! ❤

[@RachelEye]

Im about to refuse this ER job right after orientation but your video is making me reconsider. #conflicted. I'm just scared to jeopardize my liscense because I have no idea what I'm doing sometimes. If my assessments are 100% accurate, etc. Update: happily working as a pulmonary nurse, vent pts etc.

[@cjzele7906]

Hey! Did you end up enjoying your job as an ED Nurse? I’m a New grad who feels the same way and I don’t know if I want to take the job or not.

[@katbodyxo3]

Me too please reply how is it ? 😮

[@adirayasharahla984]

Nice!!! I'm. Happy for you

[@hudarabah6069]

New fav channel! I'm a 4th year nursing student and I've been obsessed with your videos. Just from watching you I can tell that you care for your patients and that makes you a great nurse. Can't wait to see what new videos you come out with!

[@poetictype5248]

Graduating in a few weeks, so nervous about getting ready for NCLEX and getting my green light, but seeing you make it this far sure gives me hope!!!

[@newblessings4610]

Beautiful video! I knew from the first time I started watching that you’re going to be awesome. ER is probably one of the last places I would like to work. I love pediatrics and that’s where I work now. Like the saying goes, you have to have patience with your patients, lol! Continue to shine bright!

[@sognams.1062]

I feel like a proud little sister lol. I remember you being in nursing school and having like 27k subscribers. Now you’re in your career, you have increased your subscribers by 30k+, you’re giving crash courses. I’m beyond proud of you sis🙌🏾 I wish you nothing but success in anything that you choose to do because you honestly deserve it, with all the hard work you do while keeping up with your KZbin channel. You’re just an amazing human being❤️

[@MsBrittneyJ1]

Loved this! You really sound like you know your stuff. And I’m loving hat hair color too. I’m starting my prerequisites this summer. Can’t wait to get into a BSN program. Watching your videos keeps me motivated

[@reneelewis9346]

This video was very inspirational!! I am graduating from the RN program next year, and I am terrified as well!! Videos like these, give me hope! Thank you!!

[@jenniferwalter5233]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I'm one week into being a new grad ER nurse and.... words don't do justice to tell you what this video meant to me. It gave me hope. It's very encouraging to know things get easier and see you become more confident on your journey. God bless you and keep you girl.

[@JoeMama-tl4tr]

You might be the prettiest KZbinr ever

[@gunchief0811]

Your channel is squared away, your honesty and your vulnerability is excellent. Keep GOING! Ur inspiring me to go into the E/R for sure when I graduate Nursing school.

[@wmedinaful]

I think its totally normal to be scared and nervous as a new nurse, but its nice that you've had a lot of great nurses to help you out.

[@ashleyjonelledenam4082]

Thank you for this video! I graduate the end of this year and I want to start in the ED but have been very nervous about it. I really appreciate your optimistic outlook.

[@bsarazoo]

Your the best! I am fresh off orientation and relate 100%! It's amazing what you can accomplish at the end of a shift!

[@happygay8240]

Just discovered you today, so inspirational loving all your videos!!! You are inspiring me to finally get my life together and stop being such an alcoholic and maybe be a CNA or nurse!!! Thank you 💙😘

[@artsyfartsymagic]

I just graduated nursing school and passed my NCLEX. I was a tech in the ER, and now I start as an RN at my local trauma center next week and I'm so scared! This video seriously is helping me with my anxiety. Thanks so much!!!💕💕💕 "Its not crazy in a bad way, like I can still handle it." Haha this quote is seriously my life. 😂

[@aar1782]

Love this video, I am about to go to an interview for ER Nursing as a new grad and I have been so nervous and panicky. I’ve really been trying not to get cold feet and this KZbin video has calmed me sooo much! Thank you 😊🙏🏽

[@kourtney8944]

Amazing!!! I’m so glad you feel more comfortable! I feel like I’m going to do the same thing, once I graduate! ❤️❤️❤️ Love this so much!!❤️❤️

[@Boynamdsue]

Ugh 🥺 bless you for this. I come off orientation this week and needed to hear this. You’re so pretty btw

[@Life_with_babye]

Your first day sound EXACTLY like my first day!!! I had someone go to the OR and didn’t know the proper charting/paper work process, someone who needed blood because their hemoglobin was 4.7, and a pt who had laid over a bed rail at home for 13 hours and has so much tissue necrosis that they were turning septic. All things I had never had to do while on orientation! Haha you seriously learn something new each day in the ED.

[@courtm9950]

Congrats! So happy for you!!💗

[@Tallithaxo]

so proud of you!! love your hair too

[@Alifestyle2016]

You look so relax and you make me feel like i can do this do!!!! Love the hair and make up!!❤️😘

[@quiaradesiree]

[@ElizeteYr12]

Such a helpful video! Im a Grad RN in Australia and ill be starting in Emergency in February. Im currently working on a surgical ward and have PLENTY of surgical experience in all sorts of fields but nothing in the emergency department (other than being a patient myself). I'm really nervous but also incredibly excited for all the new experiences I'll have!

[@Keana43]

This is amazing good job girl.☺💛

[@PATRYAN84]

I think the ER is the best place to be. My orientation was only 3 months which is not a lot at all. I started not to long go alone, I was scared but figured hey I’m in the ER, we are a team and if shit hits the fan there is staff everywhere you are never alone, we are there to help each other.

[@dympiece]

I love your channel, especially with me majoring in nursing wanting to be a registered nurse in the nicu/labor&delivery department, thank you!! 💗

[@dandrewilliams9963]

I used to work in a lab where where we washed red blood cells. It is a pretty straightforward process, we just add saline and centrifuge the RBCs to remove any plasma from the RBCs. This is done because plasma usually has antibodies that could cause the person to have a bad reaction, especially if they had received several transfusions before. So to be safe and prevent the chance of a reaction, we will "wash" the RBCs.

[@NurseMamaLuxuries]

"omg like.. idk how to wash your blood" lmaooo . Im starting ER nursing orientation in 2 days! Wish me luck!

[@aubrey0324]

How is it going?

[@lofi4935]

[@katiesanchez4056]

I always give you a thumbs up before I watch bc I just know your video will be great 😊💕 Thanks for sharing ur experience, it helps so much to get a perspective of the real life as an RN.

[@andreacruz663]

Love this!! Thanks for sharing!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@fagodax]

This is so reassuring! I'm currently on my second month of orientation in the ER and I'm dreadingggg coming off orientation. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@nailar.952]

Yess i feel like nursing school needs to teach about paperwork because it's so much n big part of being a nurse

[@ebab4christ]

Beautiful Bronz3 you better preach!!!!

[@courtneymaudena-pelkey9343]

It does! Alotttt atleast in Canada lol

[@nailar.952]

[@annastorm1374]

I've been an ER nurse my whole nursing career and I'm soo excited to work as an ER nurse in another hospital, though I'm a bit scared because another hospital's protocol , procedures and/or practices are different from another hospital.

[@unolowmanta7508]

Hi there, I want to be an Er Nurse. What's the most routine nursing interventions in the Er and your most cases

[@Noodlezzzsss]

It is so nice to see how you are growing as a nurse. I have been following you for over a year now. I am so happy and proud of all your progress. I have about 7 months until I get my BSN. I have a couple questions regarding clinicals. How do you get over the fear of starting an IV? I am terrified whenever the opportunity comes up. I am also so scared of the IV pumps and iv medications. What do you recommend to get over the fear?

[@rodrekatolbert136]

Alexis your personality is awesome girl, keep doing a great job! What do you use edit your videos?

[@irisimnida915]

Same here... I've always been scared, afraid of my duties coz literally I don't know what to do, even though I've learned a lot of things from Nursing School. Lucky you, you have such an amazing and helpful colleagues that will make you feel secure and at ease and that's very different from my situation. Anyhow, your video did a lot of help and encourages me to believe to myself that I can do it ^_^

[@evanmerworth7830]

I am a new grad nurse about to start my second week off orientation. I work in a small 16 bed ER, which is in fact the smallest ER in the city I live in. While it is the smallest ED, it is also on of if not the highest acuity ED due to the close proximity to many nursing homes and psychiatric facilities. (I include the psych hospitals because we have a contract for all the EDOs from the police department which means that frequently 2-4 of our beds are already minimal capacity are taken up by psych patients for hours to days at a time). I got a 10 week orientation after having a 4 week internship in my last semester of nursing school. I share your super scared mentality. I have found solice in that my former preceptor and charge RNs, as well as the other RNs on the unit are always available to help me should I need it (which is frequently) as well as an educator assigned to my unit which conducts frequent office sessions with me and reviews my charts at random to conduct PI teaching sessions with me and make sure I am not vulnerable from a legal standpoint. All in all, while I feel like I have alot of learning to do and progress to make, I feel like my facility is the perfect place in terms of high acuity exposure and new grad support as compared to other classmates I have spoken to who feel like their facilities are letting them drown.

STEMI it’s a ST elevation myocardial infarction. It’s a heart attack that is caused by a complete blockage of a heart artery. The ST is the last segment on an EKG wave.

After I graduate in a month I wanna be an ER nurse but I’m so scared idk if I should do med surge for 2yrs to gain skills then go to the ER or jump right in what’s your opinion?????

[@okolionyekachukwu3262]

You were so lucky to have had a preceptor and orientation. I was literally thrown into ER in a hospital after my BSN and I' m not even an ER nurse. It was so hard because I was expected to know everything and how to handle everything. It was so hard but I survived. I guess that's the difference between practising in US and Nigeria. I live in Nigeria BTW

[@alloniss]

Hi, why didn't you get any orientation? were you an international nurse?

[@okolionyekachukwu3262]

@@alloniss no, I wasn’t but in my country, there’s nothing like a mentor or preceptor, you are just thrown into areas and expected to figure it out. I moved to England and the support system given to newbies is way better.

Hi! New subscriber here! I’m loving your videos ❤️ Personal question but how many days a week do you typically work and does work interfere with your continuation of schooling? No worries if you don’t feel comfortable disclosing that question, just curious because I’m interested in applying for nursing school one day! ☺️❣️

Can you do a video about how you record your videos and how you edit them and what apps you use?
