NEW NURSE AND NIGHTSHIFT: WHAT HAPPENS IN MY 12 HOUR DAY

[@shelbiee-97]

I GOT MY ACCEPTANCE INTO NURSING TODAY !!! I’ve been watching you for about 3-5 years now !!!!!

[@SoNgBiRd63100]

Congrats!

[@SarahRumley]

Me too!!!!!

[@Kayla_Nicole]

Congrats

[@lilyphillips__]

Good for you!!

[@taneriapollins9225]

Congratulations

[@tammybelgrade5799]

I love the fact that you started out as a CNA. I think anybody who is going to become an LPN or RN, should become a CNA first. Basics count in Patient care. You're doing great Holley!!😊

[@kaylabrewer9738]

I graduate nursing school in 23 days and this video helped me so much!! Please make more!!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Kayla Brewer working on it💕congrats on almost being done!!!

[@Worldseesnormal]

Congrats. Welcome to the nursing family

[@drennamcclure2932]

If I'm in a hospital again...I want you as my nurse. You're an amazing person...you love what you do and that's huge. Praying for you and I love the song Amazing Grace. It was sung at my mom and dad 's funeral and holds a special place in my heart. I'm thankful for nurses like you that have a true God given passion for nursing. God bless. I love watching your videos.

[@heidisheppard2570]

I am a CNA and work nights and go to nursing school in the day. your videos are always so inspiring. i appreciate and learn so much from them.

[@genevieverolon1134]

I️ actually prefer the longer vids! Love seeing you and your day and your energy girl!!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Genevieve Rolon aww yay! Thanks for the comment & love💕

[@cyndiotwell2067]

I got acceptance letter for BSN program today!!!!!!

[@jaymekilgannon_]

I love your videos. It's really cool to get perspective from a nurse and hear your story and your feelings about it. I spent over two weeks in the hospital after almost dying from pancreatitis and the nurses were and are my absolute heroes. You guys are the true badasses of the industry and I'm so thankful.

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Jayme Galash this comment is everything to all nurses everywhere >>> so glad you are okay! Thanks for sharing that piece with me💕

[@xxooLaurenxxoo1]

I'd love to hear your routine outside of work as well!! How you handle working night shift, what your sleeping schedule looks like and how you prepare yourself for night shift. Like for how long and when do you usually sleep on days you work, how you sleep on days you aren't working etc!

[@darby4828]

I would love this video!

[@wellno3731]

You took the words out of my mouth !

[@aubreyb3479]

As a new nurse I reallyyyyyy appreciate this video. It’s nice to hear another nurse not at my hospital talk about the important parts of their shift. Thanks!!!

[@melindatorres80]

I’m not even a nurse but LOVE your energy! I bet you’re an amazing nurse!!!!

[@madysonjones5070]

I graduate this Thursday and I’m so thankful I’ve found your channel! This helps so much and even your day to day life in general is so inspiring! 🥰

[@queenb23r]

I graduate May 10th and I've accepted an offer in the ICU! Can't wait! You should do more videos on night shift. I've never worked nights and it's going to be a big change.

[@priscillanavarro6704]

I just applied to the nursing program friday, and you have no idea how much your channel has helped me get through my prerequisites cant wait until I start the program and can go back through your channel. Thank you for always being so raw and real and keep me in your prayers! :)

[@brittaneyfisher1830]

Girl everything you said 100%!!! I go on my own May 11. This is my last week with my preceptor, but WE GOT THIS!!!!!!! We are the nurse!!!!!

[@alexalyons3876]

THIS VIDEO WAS SO HELPFUL! You explained perfectly what it is like for a nurse on a day to day basis! Love your videos!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Alexa Lyons thank you so much!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@alexalyons3876]

You’re welcome! Also, as a suggestion for something viewers might like has Sam ever thought about being in a video? It would be nice to hear about his nursing journey and yalls together 🤗 or maybe a Q&A! Any who thanks for responding to my comment 💕

[@samblack1726]

I’m a fourth year medical student and it’s awesome to see your perspective! You should post a video about your perspective on doctors - residents and attendings - and med students !

[@Allorakate]

I’m in my first term now and this gives me more validation that you will never be 100% comfortable, which is good. We as nurses and in the healthcare field should never be 100%. Thanks for sharing. I’m always nervous when I graduate to be on my own. It’s interesting to hear your experience. ❤️

[@j21589m]

Thanks for the detailed description, I can tell you are an excellent nurse, very inspiring. 💚

[@sarahsmith1031]

I love that you are so dedicated! The scary thing about new nurses are the ones who are NOT scared and who do NOT ask questions. I’m a charge ICU nurse in South Dakota (for 1 more month then CRNA school 🤗😬). Wish we had more new nurses like you!

[@msbeautiful60]

I absolutely love you Holley. I found you before I took my NCLEX and watched your video about your NCLEX. experience and I am a new nurse now as well, on orientation until the end of the month and I relate to you so much and I just love your content on KZbin and instagram. Please never stiop being you!

[@rebeccacomac5529]

Please keep doing videos about nursing !! NURSING EVERYTHING! And fitness 💕 I am entering the nursing program in the fall and so so excited I found you before I start

[@emilykurzeja1933]

I’m also a new medsurg nurse on days and it is so busy. I’m so thankful for night shift because they constantly reassure me when I can’t complete everything for 6 pts that nursing is a 24 hour job and they’re always willing to help. 4 to 5 patients sound amazing lol

[@marlencruz132]

It’s crazy because everything you’ve said about starting out is exactly how I felt the first two weeks of being alone with my patients. My last two shifts I began to feel more comfortable due to all the tips the veteran nurses have been teaching me. I started to get a routine. I’m also a night shift nurse.

[@mariaialcantara]

Thank you for this video! I’m in my 4th semester and the biggest thing I’m worried about when I graduate is having to prioritize and schedule things by myself 😅

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Maria Alcantara it all comes with time I am learning💕being patient with yourself & knowing you CAN and WILL figure it out! Best of luck finishing, girl!

[@boombuleh2149]

I'm a nursing student in my final year and the thought of being a fully licensed RN and all alone next year terrifies me D: The facilitators on my clinical placements are no help either when I don't know something they make you feel bad "you are 3rd year you should know". Never mind the fact that each placement is only 2 weeks, by the time I get a good grasp of how things are run it's over and time to move onto the next placement (with a good 2 months gap between). So every placement starts off slow with re-learning/refreshing old skills again.

[@Addielovesobx24]

We use Epic as well where I work in Virginia. I’ve been an ER RN for three years, wouldn’t change it for anything. When I first started watching your videos I thought you were a seasoned nurse, you’re very educated and informative as a new grad!! ♥️ #teamepic

[@memoboules760]

Can you make an updated morning & night routine. You are such an inspiration girl 😍💪 xoxo

[@crysb5099]

The saying is true - if you can make it on a tele/med-surg floor, you can make it on any floor.

[@jamiewashere16]

I lol'd when you said, I want to help you with your pain but don't code on me! Lmao that's how I feel too. It's so scary

[@cheergirl1728]

I’m an LPN hoping to go to RN soon. This video was so informative and helped me so much! You’re so inspiring to me.

[@torif7984]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for prioritizing insulin timing for diabetics

[@lexxxs7464]

I graduate in less than a month and I’m finishing up my capstone right now. I’m looking forward to being a safe nurse my patients like!

[@alimefford8613]

Great video! Can you go into detail about your weekly routine with work, working out, grocery shopping, sleep etc. Basically how do you prioritize everything! Lol

[@lisalouiseangonese9134]

I work at Home Chef in the production line. So, this is ironic because I am watching your video to learn how you get through your shift. I work on the third shift. It's the night shift but I will tell you everyone is working very hard all day to put together these great meals. Shopping can be very stressful. Ironically, I came from working at a grocery store. After work, I would shop at the store I worked at to save time. Working at night is very new to me. Home Chef is great, too. I'm so glad you like it.

[@EricaElayneRN]

Thanks for sharing! I am a nursing student documenting my journey! Nice to know what I have to look forward to!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Of course!

[@peytonburke732]

I have been a night shift nurse for 2 years now and just started my first travel assignment!! I still feel like I don’t know anything some days! Keep grinding girl!!

[@AllAboutE1128]

I love how honest you are! I am in school for nursing! Thank you

[@KC7UAM]

Well I guess I am staying in Wyoming for nursing school. Nobody thinks I can do this . Too busy, very physical work, too much responsibility, etc. I am glad to see others are scare too, and still get the patient care done.

[@taneriapollins9225]

Don’t give up on your dream. You can do this

[@KC7UAM]

Taneria Pollins thank you. I have always had a desire to help people. Funding is the main problem now, but that can be dealt with.

[@nataliennewman]

I'm also a new nurse on nightshift. This was such a great video!!

[@DashOfDefiance]

ABSOLUTEY LOVE THAT SHOE SHELF

[@bernyortiz7940]

I’ve been waiting for this video! 😁 love it! I’d love to hear some story times at the hospital regarding patients 😊

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Berny Ortiz as time goes on I can & will! Have to be very careful obviously due to HIPAA💕

[@autumnd8608]

I graduate in December and am scared shitless to be by myself lol! This video seriously made me a little more calm hearing how you set your self up for success! Please make more videos like this, you are amazing 💓

[@addiprice7976]

I wish all of you luck and congratulations to the class of 2020

[@kristabaker8507]

I love your videos I watch them over and over ! 😊

[@delorasampson4567]

Thanks for the inspiration and encouraging, channel!! Have a blessed day ☺️

[@tayandkel00]

It’s funny how it sounds like you’re day has so much in it but really you just get so used to doing it every day and everything gets planned out in your head lol. Just started my new RN job on October and have been by myself for awhile so watching this was like holy crap i think about a lot when i come into work 😂

[@chideraagu8433]

I bet some of u guys who watch Holly would also like watching America Revere she’s a 3rd year in med school and her videos r great just like Holly’s.

[@hayleyblew702]

Have you ever considered or thought about becoming a nurse educator some day?

[@J1conti]

Just finishing my first semester of nursing school. So scared for when I have to pass meds and be on my own next semester!! I’m glad I’m not alone!!!

[@MelloneeKecia]

That nacho chicken flatbread look so delicious 😋 and really great advice I can’t wait to become a nurse 👩🏽‍⚕️ one day.

[@kaitlandwriggins3747]

I would love to hear more about what you include in report and how you like to do your assessments!! Love your content, I'm graduating nursing school next spring and your content makes me feel a little less nervous! (still terrified tho lol)

[@natashas6319]

my hospital is switching to epic next year and i'm feeling all the emotions about it lol worried/excitement and everything in between!

[@rosegarcia1887]

So happy you uploaded! ❤️

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Thanks, love! Hope you enjoy the video!

[@kendall_kay716]

best part of staying home today🤩🤩

[@HolleyGabrielle]

WOOT WOOT!

[@emilyfelske]

Where did you get that headband? Absolutely love it! 😍

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Emily thank you💕aerie!

[@alyssalong3441]

You are amazing!! Thank you for sharing all of your inspiration and insight! I am about to finish my first year of nursing school. I am interested in hearing about your biggest learning curve as you entered the work force.

[@backkab7]

I love your videos Holley! Just graduated and hopefully starting on the floor soon and you've relieved my anxiety so much! THANK YOU !!:)

[@kathrynjohnson4482]

I love that headband

[@CharleysAquaticNook]

Yes every hospital has a low down on a tracking board for basic info per pt.

[@darienvelez2767]

how was the transition from being a CNA to a nurse, and now being able to delegate? I am a CNA now, but also in nursing school, so i feel like once i become a nurse i’m going to feel super uncomfortable delegating tasks! Absolutely love your nursing videos!!!

[@shannonhardimon6875]

Thankyou for this video, I graduate in December and this video was so informative and awesome to see a RNs perspective ❤️

[@nayeliperez5373]

The explanation was great! At our local hospital they also use epic! Could you elaborate on what you were going to say about knowing their code status please ☺️

[@savannahwilson313]

This was so helpful!! I'm in nursing school now and I always struggle with scheduling things out. I like to plan my day out, a lot like you do. But I could definitely improve on my assessment speed and scheduled meds

[@lilyphillips__]

Thanks for answering my questions!!

[@annmarie9155]

"Strangling" lol 🤣❤ Question: for the home chef plans. How many meals do you order? Like 2 meals a day for you and Sam for 5 days? I'm looking into home chef vs hello fresh.

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Ann Marie hahaha I think I meant “stragglers”. We order 4 meals, 2 servings each! It’s perfect & the meals last into the next week if we don’t eat them ASAP.

[@DarkShadows1031]

Been watching you for the last few months, glad everything is goin good. Thank you for all your videos, they really help. I hope to start nursing school soon.

[@sydneymencer7140]

5 patients? Dang girl killing it!!

[@annieg906]

I am a new subscriber. Definitely loving your videos. Do you have an example of your charting sheet that you use?

[@danielaruiz841]

Love your videos❤️ Please say a little prayer for me as I prepare to take boards at the end of the month🙏🏻

[@kaylapeterman5154]

I just took mine on the 6th. You got this!

[@gabrielaguillen3485]

Watching this 15 min before I have to get ready for nightshift 😭.Thanks for posting this❤️❤️

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Sonia Cobalt woohoo girl, get it! 🙌🏼😊

[@KM-xo3eb]

yes please do a more in-depth video! I would really appreciate it and especially now that you have a good flow.

[@angelpradhan8809]

I love your work. Appreciate it a lot and the reason I watch you is because you radiate positive vibes. 😘😇😇💞💞love you

[@sara_reid]

Loved this! I am currently in nursing school (I graduate next year!!!!) and I also work as an aide. We use Epic at our hospital to chart as well! This was just helpful to kind of get a better idea of what my nurses are doing while I'm doing my aide things and to know somewhat of what it will be like for me after I get that degreeeee lol I've been watching your videos for a while now, it's awesome to see you go through it all and now you're doing the damn thing lol

[@susanwatts99]

I'm planning on going back to school for nursing. This video was super helpful!!

[@heatherdevore8778]

I'm graduating in December and this video was very inspiring!! Thank you!!

[@autumnmurray1568]

Love your videos so much! I've been watching you for a while now and it has helped me so much! I have doubted myself about being a nurse but watching your videos has gained my confidence. But I'm starting nursing school in the fall and I couldn't be more excited! I'm so thankful there are such great nurses like you with such a positive attitude and encourage other people! Thank you for all your encouraging words!😊❤❤

[@Baristabarb617]

I love long videos, it’s like watching a movie!

[@natalie2]

I live in GA and work as an X-ray Tech and we use EPIC as well!

[@laurencourtney2418]

80 different directions is accurate! 🤣🤣😅😅 Super similar routines. Interesting to hear different processes at diff hospitals. I work in the quad cities! I think we’re pretty close!

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Lauren Courtney 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼can be 90 directions sometimes 😂

[@gymnaastxoxo]

I just started orientation as a new RN too (:

[@ccdance0806]

I’m about to start my 3rd semester (of 9) and watching this makes me so excited for clinical! Love your videos. Honestly helps me through school being able to see your life after!! ❤️

[@Shimamba]

idk how i've found your channel, but its a lot of great stuff. can i ask, for a video, can you speak like maybe a couple minutes on your thoughts about Respiratory therapist

[@annabeltemple230]

Epic is pretty cool for communication and documentation, in my experience.

[@juliet5413]

One more year until I graduate nursing school!!!

[@britneyhamlin6342]

Super helpful as a student going into preceptorship

[@Aleena8700]

Your my fav! Thanks for always keeping it 💯 💘

[@audreymarkland9158]

Where did you get your shoe rack? I love it!

[@OS-nj8gn]

Man I wish you had +40 minute long videos lol 😂 Even ones you don't have to edit or very little editing involved!

[@AlyssaAllDayVlogs]

Pushing any opioid or benzo makes me paranoid 😂😂

[@AleesaHopkins]

I also work on Epic. Gotta love it lol

[@druggiesgo55]

Meal prep rocks!

[@eighteenhearts]

You're so descriptive I love this

[@sabrinasilva-cz8vy]

love your notifications !!! 💞💞

[@HolleyGabrielle]

Awww thanks, girl! Hope you enjoy!

[@RNScrub]

that nightshift life, i can never do it. good video, keep on nursing

[@daytoy45]

30 min vlog yaaaaay!

[@sarahbader5256]

I’m a nursing assistant on an oncology floor and honestly it’s a lot of work and I’m questioning if I really want this to be my career 😳 Is being an nurse better than being an assistant? Obviously the pay is much better but the work lol

[@LizMariesFashion]

Great overview of a nurses night! As a more experienced nurse always remember the patient not the tasks! When you were mentioning your priorities (hanging antibiotics, pain and dressing changes) those are more of tasks to get done however priorities when seeing a patient first are airway breathing and circulation, see the most unstable patient first! just a pointer! Keep up the great work!

[@MsNVBaby]

liz marie i think ABC’s go hand in hand with your initial assessment which every nurse will do on during bedside report and mainly during initial rounds when you get your assignment.

[@kendraeccles9245]

Once you start on days could you post a routine video?

[@juliakruzan4452]

Would you suggest getting a tech job so you get more experience in the hospital? I am a sophomore in nursing school
