NURSING SCHOOL IS DIFFICULT | How I deal with the effects of burnout

[@TheDanielleDenise]

I was going to apologize for not remaining as upbeat throughout this video because I did not want to sound ungrateful for being in nursing school, but that wasn't the message. I really just want to help us all out so that we don't lose ourselves in the pursuit of something we see as a passion! Promise me you'll take care of yourself too!

[@nicholeknight1893]

Facts!!!! We are teaching ourselves. The struggle is so real. 😫

[@TheDanielleDenise]

Sooooo hard on us!

[@nicholeknight1893]

Thank you so so so so much! I'm so glad that I get to share topics like this on my platform and that people receptive to it!

[@TheDanielleDenise]

What are some ways you guys deal with burnout??? For me it's been exercising & my new hobby of painting!

[@titilayow9580]

Yoga and outdoor roller skating!

[@nishi8326]

For sure exercise!

[@kadrayajohnson8277]

I felt the proving yourself party because some people always assume that your where you are academically because of affirmative action or because the school is required to reach a certain minority quota

[@allisonclaire4090]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video. You're honesty is so refreshing and made me feel less alone. I completely relate to everything you said and lately have felt just so exhausted and mentally checked out. Nap time is calling my name ALWAYS!

[@boujeebelle]

I usually binge watch American Horror Story, and do my makeup, but you are beautiful and it’s awful that we are so under represented in the medical space, and I’m glad you made this video, because this is happening to so many of us, especially now, but you got this, just remember you’re an educated black woman you can do anything💕 #BlackGirlMagic🪄

[@TheDanielleDenise]

Thank you beautiful!!! Same back to you!! Also, I took it out during editing but I binged like 3 seasons of a series in one weekend and I had no regrets lol, so I'm right there with you hahaha!

[@NewbieQT886]

I know all of what you are speaking on. Everything you hit on is what I go thru. At the end of each semester, I experience burnout. It’s crazy but I just let it happen and get it together for the next semester.

[@vktweed]

I so appreciate your honesty and sharing this with us! I experienced such bad burnout last semester, my first semester of nursing school. I didn’t realize what was happening until I had fallen into deep depression and felt like I lost who I am. However, I have thankfully realized this and am starting to make a game plan for next semester. I refuse to prioritize school over myself ever again! Thanks for helping me not feel so alone.

“Pan pan, pan demy, panny, panorama...” 💀💀💀💀 you got this girly!

[@Deepbrowneyes]

Thank you for making this video!! I really needed to hear this. I'm currently I'm my junior year and I'm struggling with burnout and anxiety so much.

[@dramaqueen9299]

DANIELLE When I tell you I am going through all of the same things down to losing exactly 3 family members and also totaling my car. You are so brave for doing this. I can’t even tell my mom what is going on. Prayers to your health and to mine🤞🏾💙

[@bloombby]

Girl, I feel you and I’m keeping you in my prayers because I know that stress all to well. You got this!

[@ebonyroddy4473]

Loved video “ I feel this currently “

[@colorkouture_llc]

I am the only black female in my ABSN cohort. I feel you on that and all the other things. The pressure is real.

[@kaylahood1000]

I am a pre nursing student and I am taking anatomy and physiology this summer and I’m like God I feel so defeated and dumb. Plus I am the only black woman taking this class during the summer. I live in Austin Texas it’s not a large population of African Americans out here. The imposter syndrome is real. I’m like God am I really made to be a nurse 👩🏾‍⚕️. I had to give myself a tough love talk today. Do I really want to be a nurse how bad do I want this. I need some friends who are going into the healthcare just like me or something. I feel like giving up. I had an advisor a couple of years ago tell me that nursing may not be for me. I want to prove myself wrong and others also that told me I couldn’t do it or that I am not smart enough. I put a lot of pressure on myself. These are my pre req classes I have to make a certain grade. F is unacceptable I am paying for this class out of pocket. Lord you all pray for me that I get through A&P. Love the video by the way. I am not in nursing school. Just a pre nursing student.

[@Cake1848]

I want to cry because I haven't been able to sleep that well and I'm tired at work which is not good and I have a lot of homework. I'm tired, can't sleep, and don't wanna study at the moment even though I feel like I should. I need to do laundry and I think that I have a test tomorrow 😫😩😭😢 and this is only the first week of school😱.

[@shimashiehzadegan2643]

Thank you for your honesty you beautiful soul

[@titilayow9580]

This came at a perfect time especially since I'm doing finals this week. I'm apply for nursing school for fall 2021 and I'm already stressed. Thank you for reminding me to be patient and forgiving of myself, especially during this panoramic lmao❤

[@sierrajones7528]

Thank u for this. ❤️

[@cheronna7675]

You are in my prayers 🖤✊🏾🙏🏾

[@nsanenthembrane]

[@AntoneyaCarhart]

First time watcher great video I just started nursing school in September 😊

[@mperezgumperezgu3021]

You’re amazing and show such perseverance! Thanks for being so REAL about this , it’s scary to hear but I’m thankful for your honesty. do you take a break or summers off at all for your program ? Would they let you take a break after you get your BSN before MSN course work ?

[@atelly22]

Omgg This video is everything! I identify with you so much. Nice reminder that there are people literally going through the exact same thing you are. Thanks for being so open and honest about your experiences ❤️

[@TiaraDear]
