Some of the Nurses behave that way because they believe tge nursing students are going to be watching everything the nurse does and reporting it to their instructor .Ex: reporting the nurse not Washing hands and just using sanitizer or not doing a med exactly on time or checking the patient ID band. Nursing school is an ideal atmosphere not reality but as a student you only know the ideal way not the rush and demand. The best nurses will be smiling when students come because they see the future and they also know if they are wise this student is going to help me today. I do you do and that's the best one to be with because you will actually learn. Nursing is very demanding and at the end of the day everything is the Nurses fault. Dietary , housekeeping , the doc not being available , a bath being late , it's raining . Everything but you do it with a smile and compassion.

[@shantaeevans9471]

yes a shortcut is not being a bad nurse there's the real world and what you get taught from a book as long as you know the skill if you were asked fully nothings wrong with that.

[@DominicanMeridaLife]

I remember when I was first being trained on the job as a cna, the cnas wouldn't be rude but I could tell they were annoyed. As a cna that has been working for almost 3 years, i completely get it. Students get in your way and slow you down. Most people in healthcare have a routine set up and having to stop and tell a student what to do in the middle of your routine is annoying and draining. That being said, they should still be nice to you regardless. Being rude and all that is unnecessary and unprofessional.

[@Lifedisabledd]

Just off topic. Would you rather be a CNA or a Nurse? And why?

[@Nancy-gf4ox]

Aww I'm sorry to hear some students have had bad experiences following nurse on the floor. I work in the ICU now and when I had students on the floor, yes it requires a little extra effort and patience but it really is the circle of life and everyone was a student once. I always remember that and so I took students on enthusiastically. I hope you and your fellow students remember this and can provide good experiences for your future nurses. And so true you guys really are helpful. Don't let the downers get you down!

[@DailyDoseofNursing]

Thank you so much for your comment!! I completely get that nurses are tired and overworked already as it is and that students (whether we’re helpful or not) still tire them out as well. I appreciate your input as a nurse. 💗

I love this! I had a talk with my mom's nurse friend and she said "wait until you get on the floor. Your passion will die, things will be late, you will lack in policy regulations. Everyone does" I was livid! Everything was so wrong... and If you lose your passion, move on or quit!!! Long story short she got terminated 2 weeks later for insubordination on the floor.

[@brittbritt0789]

On paperwork: welcome to nursing. As a nurse, you do more documentation than spending time at the bedside. It’s sad that we have to spend so much time double and triple charting in order to validate the things that we do that you don’t have much time to spend with the patients....

[@michellewoocoad9511]

I just discovered your videos. This all brings me back to my days as a nursing student and I definitely agree with a lot of the things you mentioned. Now on the other side of things with my RN, I can at least touch one of these topics with a bit more understanding. RNs who are bad to students -- shame on them, because the reality is, we will one day take care of them if they ever become in patient, or outpatient for the matter (I'm an FNP student). It's nice to learn from nurses who care about the next generation of professionals. However, that said, I also understand why some nurses run the other way. Some nursing students like to be independent, and in many ways, that's great. But some students are know it alls, and these are the ones that make mistakes. Like you, I had a REALLY bad nurse in peds, and I'm like, DUDE, care for your patients, what did I ever do to you? type attitude. Then I learned a bit later on in my preceptorship, that she did have a student, and she doesn't take students outside of preceptorship because a student who was with her and stopped an IV that had been running a course of chemo treatment without letting the nurse know. She went through a lot for that and her license was on the line. I share this story because I understood why she was the way she was. My goal is to have that opportunity to precept students and allow them to do things, but if they do something, even if it's getting juice, I ask students to let me know and to never do a med pass without me. Patient safety is always first, and I want students to learn, but not at the cost of my license that I worked so hard for. Just some insight. ;) Please don't take any offense to this, it's just something I'm now understanding on the other side of things.

[@DailyDoseofNursing]

Thank you for this comment! I love to get responses like this, especially from nurses to get the other side of the story. It puts into perspective that we (as students) also have to take it easy on our nurses! I never take offense to nurses that don’t want me- I’ll just ask them if they need the day away from a student and that I wouldn’t mind changing to a different nurse. It’s the nurses that treat their patients badly that really get to me. Thank you for your input I really enjoyed reading it and I’m sure other students will too!!

When I go to work I literally remind myself my coworkers are NOT my friends. I’ve been talked about and had people throw me under the bus it when it benefited them. I trust one person and that’s my damn self lol I’m hoping to go back to nursing school this year, but we’ll see TYSM for your videos I’ve enjoyed almost all of them already!

[@jeniferquintero1651]

When I started my prerequisites I never intended to get amazing grades but my first semester I got all A’s. I started realizing how competitive getting into nursing school was so I kept striving to get A’s. I have had so many mental breakdowns and feeling like I wasn’t good enough. I was doing bad in Anatomy and Physiology I and I had to drop the class. When I took it again I tried so much harder but it was still so draining and I felt terrible when I got a bad exam grade. This makes me scared for actual nursing classes :-( I’m happy to still have a 4.0 and almost done with my prerequisites but I’m just mentally and physically drained. I cannot imagine nursing school

[@amberking7922]

I am in Nursing school, this is our 4th week of clinicals and I am SOOO stressed out! Every single thing you said I can already relate too! I would like to add one thing though, ontop of having awful nurses who hate students, having a really mean preceptor ontop of that isn't fun either. Her response to me asking her what to do about my assigned nurse not wanting a student, is that I have to tough it out and that I need to work a lot harder. I agree that learning to work with people who do not like you is a necessity especially in healthcare, but I also think there where a lot better responses she could have chosen. I cant force someone to teach me. I ended up sharing a nurse with another class mate, and this nurse LOVES to teach! So it worked out.

hii fellow bts stan, lol. im in highschool going to be a junior and im reallyyy confused on what happens right after highschool. we cant go straight to nurse school because we need the pre required class. how long does that take, is it only about year or less?? i know it takes 4 years after highschool to become a nurse, and 2-3 of those years are spent at nurse school. is the “freshman” part of this journey just get the pre required courses and then sophomore- senior ur in nursing school?? sorry if this didn’t make much sense😖

[@lifeisrosyyy]

kiana heyy I’m so sorry, I’m late at responding! But what I did after graduating from high school is I went to a community college for two years to complete all my pre requisite courses such as anatomy, microbio, history and calculus. I spoke with my counselor and she helped me come up with a plan during my time at that college. She told me all the courses that I needed to take to transfer to a university and apply for their program. I strongly recommend attending a community college to complete your prerequisite courses. The tuition is so much cheaper and you most likely won’t spend any of your own money because financial aid will cover the costs. So if you can, go to a community college, get your associates (2 year degree), then apply to the university nursing program that you want to go to :) good luck!!

[@lifeisrosyyy]

kiana and by the way, your freshman and sophomore year of college is the two years you will spend taking your prerequisite courses. Once you enter a nursing program, you will complete your junior and senior year.

[@gracem7506]

Omg I relate to the first point so much. I had a 4.0 after finishing my prerequisites and I still got rejected. I talked to my advisor before applying and she said there was a chance I could get rejected but I didn’t believe her. Turns out she was right lol. Thankfully I got into a different program and start in the fall.

"nursing changed everything" thats the understatement of my life! nursing exams are SOOOO hard for me. and I did have straight A's getting in.

I don't understand it because we are all going to be nurses together at the end of school. I really hate this part of nursing school. honestly, its the most stressful part of school for me

[@budgetrebelgoals]

I hear many nurses here on youtube that say a big part of the shift is paperwork. documentation is EVERYTHING

[@paigegrant9243]

You have to remember that these patients are scared and in their most vulnerable moments. Even though us students are knowledgeable and everything is fresh, it may just make them feel better to know that a “professional” is taking care of them. Especially parents who’s children are sick. Those children are their greatest love and they want the experienced nurse taking care of them.

[@briann.1237]

How do you avoid being burned out in nursing school because lately I feel really unmotivated. For example I noticed that in clinical I used to go above and beyond for my patients but now I just make sure to do what's required and I now have the feeling of wanting to leave my clinical site just when I get there. Any helpful tips on how to stay motivated?

[@DailyDoseofNursing]

I think reminding yourself why you started is really important. Having a vision board. Remembering every time you step in the hospital how YOU would want to be treated and how you would want your mom or your loved one to be treated especially in their time of need. Remembering that patients in the hospital are people that are weak, and not feeling at their best. Its hard, but even writing it down before you go into the hospital or having a journal is great. I do that now because I don’t ever want to get burnt out and those are habits I also want to carry when I become a nurse!

[@nataliedeyton6829]

If your getting “burned” out and you haven’t finished nursing school I would reconsider if nursing for you.

[@jojot1641]

The comments about “considering if nursing is for you” is uncalled for. As a nursing student I can relate to feeling unmotivated. Im in my second semester and you do feel burned out 12-13 weeks into the semester. Sometimes you just want to be done already and catch a break. It’s a very hard program to keep up with and there are days where you will feel as if you want to give up. Everyone has those days but that doesn’t mean “nursing isn’t for you”. Just find motivation to keep going and remember why you started! That’s all I can say about that. Good luck finishing the program Brian!

[@amberking7922]

Everyone has those moments when they are so stressed and tired from nursing school! Self care is really important to practice for this reason! Try to focus on yourself whenever you can do you can be at your best for your patients! It’s hard sometimes but keep going, you got this!

[@jenniferlopez2850]

Do not listen to the comments about “nursing is not for you” because that’s a lie. You are ALLOWED to feel unmotivated you are ALLOWED to be stressed. Every human is going to go through this. Just remind yourself WHY you’re doing this & think of the end game. You can do it, I promise

Turns out he was an EMT and had tons of experience administering IVs.

I recently started adult health one clinical and this video makes me feel more validated about how I felt with my first nurse. She wanted nothing to do with the other student and myself included. She assumed we knew what she does. I know we are a guest, and lucky to be following the nurses yet I felt terrified to even ask questions. Going into my second clinical this upcoming Saturday I want to run away from her and find someone else and go solo to get the best hands-on experience. I felt useless and just roamed around the rehabilitation site, so we aren't switching floors, ill see her every Saturday. Other students with prior experiences are doing skills that are far more than mine, so yes It's discouraging and I judge myself for not having prior experience in this field/knowledge. I don't want to be in that toxic competition mode with anyone other than myself to be better but I know it will all work out. I get that nurses are overworked, and not everyone wants that extra burden of teaching students

[@Beburn]

SOO relatable!! I also went to my nursing advisor with so much hope and excitement asking her how to apply for the program and she looked at my grades and she told me this "we generally accept gpa of 3.5 and up... I think u need to have a backup plan" I'M gonna tell you leaving her office was like the world has frowned upon me type of thing but you know what I am still here and still trying to get into the program. ^^ Girllll I wanna ask for some tips about retaking classes? lol It might change the game for me too! New subbie!!

[@DailyDoseofNursing]

It’s ridiculous how much they try to stray people away!! It just ended up motivating me more honestly. If you’re planning on retaking classes I would re-assess what went wrong the first time you took it! I’d probably move to the front of the class so you can concentrate more on the material, watch YT videos (this is my fav way to grasp material), you can always find practice questions online for extra practice, make friends in the class to study with, etc. I feel like I always kinda know where I went wrong the first time I took a class and I try to fix it to kill it the second time. 😊

I’m glad I watched this video bc I’m planning to go to nursing school and in my family/extended family there are a ton of nurses. my one aunt who is a nurse isn’t the nicest but thankfully my sister in law is a great example of what a nurse is suppose to be. there’s also a ton of sm buz recently about nurses making vids about patients faking symptoms etc and the way they go about that is very disheartening. To hear nurses not wanting other student nurses shadowing them is so discouraging and really sad. Is it not bc they want to be held accountable or what? What are they afraid of? Are you suppose to have great bedside manner and treat people w kindness and patience? It’s almost like they are in the wrong profession. I’ve gone to the ER where male nurses were really mean and short with me while I’m scared and didn’t know what was going on. Anyway thanks for this video

[@martinafazio3219]

Hi Jackie! I am starting nursing in the fall! I was wondering if you could tell me the best way to study and get good grades!!! Love your videos! Thanks to you I am super excited for nursing

[@DailyDoseofNursing]

Hey girl!! I have sooo many different ways of studying. I use concept maps (especially for my med-surg semester), LOADS of practice questions (especially your first semester), I watch YT videos (registerednurseRN) and I feel like all 3 of those ways involve different ways of learning: auditory, visual and hands-on so I grasp it really well!! Really depends on your learning style but honestly I try to incorporate all 3 and of course trying to write down notes is key, but given sometimes you just don’t have time! Hope this helps and congrats on starting! 💕

Girl what lipstick are you wearing? 😍

[@haleykj13]

The care plans are the absolute worst!! 😩😭

[@emillllysfreshbytch7]

Use nurseslabs.com! That makes my care plan so easy. Done in 10-15 min.

[@moonlightandstaryeyesbestr6061]

@@emillllysfreshbytch7 does the site do the labs for you? do you find examples of the care plans that they give you in school? I am applying for nursing school thats why i am asking.

[@diomerisbeatovelasquez941]

It is really difficult, especially with the entrance tests like the ATI TEAS exam

[@isaiahjackson3444]

who else is patiently waiting but not so patiently waiting for more videos ☺️😁

[@MelichaHidalgo1003]

Thank you for this video! So helpful an knowledgable 👍 Keep up the great vibes.

[@nursemj1278]

honestly I got into nursing school with a 78%. I'm doing fine in the program. I needed a 75% to get in though

[@asiamaepura5063]

Lol when i was in nursing school, my professor had me go find a nurse that he had assign me to. when i got to her, she told me to stand in the hallway and wait for her while she had to go get "water" and i literally didn't see for like like 15 minutes so i went to my professor and i had told him she never came back for me and he told me to still wait for her... i spent another 10-15 minutes waiting for her and when i had enough standing in the hallway, i went looking for her and she literally just kept ignoring me. i went back to my professor and told him and he finally switched me to another nurse.

[@EdenPalmer]

Thanks for this video I needed it. It’s nice to know the things I think about and go through I am not alone on!

[@faith_made_me_strong]

You are so pretty nurse Jackie!! Love this!! 😇😇🤩🤩

[@mightyme_]

I have a question can u make a video about how u got into nursing once u graduated high school because as a students who wants to go to school for nursing i am confused how to sign up or get into nursing school

[@emmalengyel2771]

I would love to see a video about dealing with a bad nurse/ bad clinical days! :)

[@user-mk8ov1qn3n]

I am so glad I found ur channel! Im gonna start nursing in September, and I love to watch videos like yours to prepare. BUT i am SO confused about how tough it is to get in nursing school where you are from. Here (the netherlands) EVERYONE will get in nursing school, you just need a certain high school diploma. They dont check grades, they dont check your CV, nothing. The only thing they do is that you have to take a standart little test with some maths, and spelling etc, and based of that result, they will advice you if nursing school is something for you or not. They cant refuse you. bamboozled.

[@thesunnyedge]

Is that the same for every program or just nursing?

[@laurenleopold3138]

Girl I get it. My nursing program gpa average was a 3.85 - 4.0 😩

[@DailyDoseofNursing]

Omg whatttttt 😫 girl!!!

[@jeroomme]

It is so hard to get in to nursing school!!!

[@mollywright7921]

I'm also a nurse and I don't know about your country, but in Australia it's literally in the nursing standards that as a nurse you will teach students. Even in saying that, i've still come across a lot of nurses that don't want students. I really think they forget they were students once too...

[@thesunnyedge]

That’s crazy it’s in the standard. In the US where I work, I feel as though they typically ask if you would take a student.

[@tilton-foggfamilyblog977]

I always let students do everything. Always have

[@Kimoja1]

I hear a lot of people going for nursing have to be accepted? My school we just take a placement test and we’re are in no waitlist or waiting to be accepted

[@DailyDoseofNursing]

Omg! I’m so jealous of that 😩 that’s amazing!!

[@bernyortiz7940]

I feel like your channels blowing up! Woot woot! 💕😊 can’t wait to hear how your last semester goes! 🤓

[@DailyDoseofNursing]

Thank you so much 🥺💗

[@purnaization]

Just started watching your videos. They are super helpful. Wondering in which country you are attending uni?

[@DailyDoseofNursing]

USA 😇

[@gersonlantigua6383]

My schools requires a 3.7 and i have a 3.5 😭😭😭 so the nursing advisor told me to look someplace else!

[@toni19292]

Yes girl. I love nursing school, but I hate being with a nurse who I can tell doesn’t want me. I have had really great nurses and one bad one (so far, two more rotations in semester 2/3) and that one bad one was miserable.

[@Jessica-zq7mx]

Hi, I'm new to your channel. I'm starting my prerequisite for nursing school at the end of August. I have a question that you can help me with... What are some books you use to study the practice questions that you talk about, to get in the mindset of the exam questions that will be giving in nursing school. Thanks, Jessica. Love your videos

[@ooMONKEYoo]

For right now get a TEAS study book and go over that.

[@Jessica-zq7mx]

ooMONKEYoo Yeah I’m about to get a few of them for the TEAS test.

[@unapologeticallyme8941]

And a HESI book bc each school requires a different entrance exam.. My advice is to apply to at least 3 schools😃

[@Jessica-zq7mx]

Unapologetically Me Ok. Thank you

[@DailyDoseofNursing]

I love the Saunders book, but there are also NCLEX-RN apps that are amazing in the App Store!

[@collectivesoul8084]

So after you get all the patient info of 30 pages. Do you go home use that patient information to do your clinical assignment ? & then send that to your instructor for grading ? Or how does that all work?

[@SaraRuss-gb8sg]

I truly thought I was the only one that felt like this wow

[@marlenimedrano205]

Interested in learning more about the field h you are God sent 💞

[@bellas_adventure_s]

Uhg nurses not wanting students is the worst! I’m always anxious for that.

[@deergreentea2847]

can you maybe do a video on the positives of being a nursing student??? im starting in two weeks and all i see is negative stuff online and it’s making me really scared and nervous ):
