[@beccabraswell135]

I think it’s very important to admit the moments where we affected other people negatively. So thank you for admitting that you weren’t the greatest person to hang out with during finals. I think in this day and age, we tend to really focus on helping our selves rather than looking at how we effect or treat others.

I am also on spring break! The past few weeks, I have been feeling burnout from my accelerated grad program (not in the health field, so def not as intense as yours), and I'm lucky enough to be studying in Thailand, so I took myself on a mini-vacation to reflect on my life and school to probably the prettiest place I will ever go in my whole life. It was exactly what I needed to help my burnout, self-reflection and some distance from school is key for me!

What went well for me this past week? I know this may sound cliché… I got through ALL my work shifts last week. Working at a grocery store, being a checker IS ROUGH. Especially when it’s a job that a therapist who I don’t see anymore, said it’s not the best for me.

[@Courtney-Alice-Gargani]

How many times have you moved since you started making videos on KZbin? You mention about buying a house. That is such a fun process. I had to move out of California to afford a house. I did well in stocks and I used that money for my down payment. Moving out of state from West Coast to East Coast to buy my house was such work but I'm happy that when I got settled in. Portland houses are so expensive. If you had a good opportunity as a RN in another state would you consider a relocation?

[@KiaraMadisen]

I probably will never relocate...I would feel so alone and because I am so close to my friends and fam I would be so depressed. I rather just be patient for something in Portland and work some overtime to save more! I have moved 3 times in college and twice out of college!

There are some people who like living alone and some people who don't. When I lived in my apartment I hardly ever saw roommate and it felt like I was living on my own. I can adopt to either way.

[@viiperbiite]

I wanted to be a doctor. Failed the first year entry. Now, I regret nursing school to get into medicine tbh. It’s hard, my country isn’t equipped to look after nurses and I found I’m just not equipped to deal with people all day. I’d much rather be in a laboratory.

[@KiaraMadisen]

I hope your situation gets better too...know that you're never alone...nurses are having to be so resilient right now.

[@stephanielacoco]

Finding a full time days job as a 1st time RN historically is very difficult. Most people in healthcare start off evenings/overnight for their entry level jobs. However, with the pandemic and staffing shortages you may actually be able to step into a day shift role somewhere. Just keep applying and looking. You also do NOT have to start off in Med Surg. That is a lie they will tell you lol. I am not an RN but I do work in healthcare and have friends who are. Use clinicals to learn, grow, and find what area of nursing you are passionate about. Then apply everywhere you can for those roles.

[@KiaraMadisen]

Thank you for this advice! I am hoping i might get lucky so we shall see...I for sure do not want medsurg lol 😂

[@stephanielacoco]

Houses are way too OVERPRICED right now. A lot of people can't really afford a house right now. Why over pay for a house right? Ever think about buying a house outside of Portland?

You actually like nursing school!? I'm 24, in my 3rd year of med school and completely hate it. 3rd year was not what I expected, and it absolutely sucked. On medicine you’re nothing but a social worker; on surgery you’re just a retractor and punching bag; on OB you’re simply there to watch the residents deliver babies; and so on. I expected 3rd year to be so much more hands on, but instead you didn’t get to do anything real yet had to still stay there ridiculous hours. I had 2 rotations where I actually got to do the kind of stuff med students should be doing, and both of them were elective rotations. The bumbling bureaucracy medicine has become, where we have an administrator for the administrator of administrators, has led to complete and utter ruination or clinical curriculum for medical students. Instead of being part of the team, we feel like a nuisance, there to be seen and not heard, and to make sure our number 1 goal is to not get in the way of the overworked residents. If there’s any one thing I could change about medicine, it would be to fire 95% of these completely worthless administrators. Sorry for the rant

Never apologize for the rant! It feels good to get it out of your system and you bring up some important points! This is kinda why I thought med school was not for me....I feel like it differs from nursing school in the sense that you live breath sleep med school, so when you're stuck in this less than ideal learning environment, it's extremely frustrating. I hope you can find an activity that brings you some joy or a professor that is a good mentor to you and can allow you to learn what you really want while in school. Thinking of you ❤️

How'd you even find time to date? I can understand a casual hookup here and there, but a serious long term relationship consumes way too much time. Edit: Just noticed you're the same age as me

[@KiaraMadisen]

It is hard, but I don't want to be 30 and never tried to get to know someone or explore what I am looking for in a relationship!

Are you more of a academic reader or enjoy reading fiction? If you like fiction what genre?

[@KiaraMadisen]

So I rarely read fiction...I'm definitely more of a non-fiction girl...but not a fan of textbook reading lol!
