I really appreciate your honesty, don't be too hard on yourself, but I strongly agree with your reflections about the situations you mentioned. Thanks for sharing your experiences, future nurses like me can learn a lot from a caring nurse like you.

Took my NCLEX -RN test last week and passed with 145 questions on my first try!! Huge Thanks to Mis ELISABETH HELEN, she is a game changer 😊✨

[@lorientheresa4844]

Nclex test is really frustrating, I can't believe I failed again after studying so much. 🤦‍♂️💔😭

[@kathleennelson4551]

Really, you'll know her Too? I even thought I was the only one she has helped walk through the fears and falls of NCLEX Exam, Mrs ELISABETH has brought me out of the trenches and to a better living, I encourage repeat test taker to work with her.

[@MaryAnn-jd4fo]

Wow!!!! congrats and thanks for the encouragement words for all the people who have not take the NCLEX yet. yes, it is a crazy test for sure. I also used Mrs ELISABETH HELEN review material's. - I studied for 1 week and my test shut off at question 78. I cried too when I got my results. PASS

[@susandorothy9883]

I'm really frustrated and need help and study guard on my NCLEX exam which I will be taking by next week please can I get her info from anyone she has help, pls guys🙏🙏🙏🙏 I'm interested please 🥺

[@harmonyelena]

Appreciate you always being so raw and hosest! Shake it off, learn, grow and continue your positive spirit! 💛

[@SierraLyn]

Thank you girly 💛💛

[@Katthenurseee]

Currently watching your video at 4am as I get ready for my NICU rotation, I got so excited I couldn’t click fast enough lol! ❤thanks for posting girly!!!!

[@SierraLyn]

Oh my gosh Kathy 🥺🤍 That means more than you could ever know, truly. I hope your NICU rotation went amazing!!

[@Katthenurseee]

@@SierraLyn thank you so much!! It was amazing! ♥️

[@barbaraness4507]

I’m now a retired Rn , and I worked ER/ICU for over fifteen years on nights. I rarely had time to sit down to eat, and I’ll tell you to do whatever you can to make sure you get your nutrition! Even if you don’t get a full lunch break you can eat when you get a chance,because something is better than nothing.

[@jenniferortiz9553]

That happens to all of us nurses . It makes you feel bad .. the ONE thing you did wrong but did 99 right . When we are busy and multitasking as a good nurse it’s very difficult.

[@SierraLyn]

Ugh yes!!

[@millioncookshwaba4876]

Nice hard working girl keep it up, good luck on your three 12 hour shifts

[@rose4982]

My facility is finally going back to pre-covid workflows as of May 1st! It will be so strange to finally not wear a mask. Thank you for being so transparent with your flaws/learning experiences. I have just finished all of my pre-reqs and will be officially starting nursing school next spring. I am doing all that I can to prepare, as I work full-time and have two children 3 and under, as well.

[@SierraLyn]

You got this Jennifer! So excited for you to start school next spring

[@PharmTech_TN]

When I watch your vlogs and you come out of night shift. Makes me feel tired for you lol. I use to work night shifts (not comparable to a 12hour shift) for 8 hours and wow it takes a toll. I'm very impressed to those who do it whether for their kids and schedule etc 🙌... thanks for sharing your stories! 💗

[@SierraLyn]

Definitely takes a toll but grateful to have a good crew that makes it enjoyable! Thanks for sharing your story too! 💖

[@incubus_the_man]

I've done 7 back to back 12 hour shifts overnight as a factory worker. It's exhausting af. It's mandatory so there's no getting out of it without getting attendance points or using PTO. You're required to work standing at all times three 10 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch. I see people with ace bandages on their hands all the time because of carpal tunnel. Achy hands, feet and knees are common. Even with 20 year olds. It's HELL.

[@Aleena8700]

Your such a lovely woman. Your very inspiring! ❤

[@barbaraness4507]

Good luck on your career. The best advice I can give you is to take care of yourself, especially your back! That’s what caused me to have to retire early.One good way to take care of your back, other than good body mechanics is to buy a new pair of shoes every three months. Make sure they’re ones with good support for posture.

[@hamzaibrahim1541]

watching ur videos just brightens my day!! thank you for your content

[@MegaMissChrissy]

Don’t be too hard on yourself. We’re only human, live and learn.

[@SierraLyn]

Thank you Christina!

[@user-ui1zv8bd4y]

I will tell you protect your work and license to make sure every medication, insertion, oxygen addition, and action such as restraints has a order before you chart it. BUT you are learning it took me 10 years as a ICU nurse to say I know what I know and I do not know what I do not know and I am very clear about this. I still learn everyday in my role today. Be safe and learn from what you miss. God bless you

[@Nurse_JahairaDamary]

29:49 thank you for your transparency!

[@SierraLyn]

Always!!

[@kristiinky]

Tbh when I work 3+ days in a row I skip the shower in between too lol I’m just too tired to care.. I just make sure I’m out of my scrubs right away.

[@SierraLyn]

I knew I wasn't alone hehehe

[@amachlis1991]

Camper is so cute 🥰

[@Julissa299]

Thank you for being honest

[@SierraLyn]

Always will be!!

[@amysoto5029]

11:10 yes !! I will never forget when I saw a person go through cardioverted, kinda scary but oh my !! Never forget that

[@LOSTobsession1415]

Oh my you take ALOT of vitamins and supplements!

[@maddiesws]

Best day! Missed your vidoes :)

[@JennCrafts]

I’ve been really enjoying your videos. I’m not very familiar with medical procedures but I’m curious about the fact you mentioned that a patient had SVT and had cardioversion done. My son was in the nicu a few years ago and had SVT. Sometimes they could shock him out of it but once they had to do an emergency infusion. It was 2 nurses and they both infused a medicine at the same exact time. It seemed pretty technical. I’ve always wondered what that was or what it was called. Would you happen to have any ideas? Also, I don’t know how you go to the gym after work! I wish I could be that person lol

[@seapinkoyster]

Hi Siera, where did you get that jacket that you were wearing over your scrubs at the beginning of the vlog? It's so cute

[@SierraLyn]

Tjmaxx!

[@tikikiki14]

I know this is so random but since you’re in an apartment, do you have noisy neighbors? I’m scared to sleep with ear plugs in and not wake up to an alarm 😅 it’s a struggle!

[@SierraLyn]

I always sleep with a fan on & that definitely helps!

[@annieleighton7836]

At your hospital is there a new RN program? Thanks for sharing your experience 🩷

[@yunzhu4815]

wondering what u were using that pink ish balm for , that goes under and around your eyes?~~~

[@SierraLyn]

Brightening eye balm!

[@Jailynn1]

I want to be a nicu nurse and I go to community college in this summer💁🏿‍♀️🙃

[@SierraLyn]

Yay!

[@drivethrutours1916]

Have you ever fired someone else from their job before?

[@jfguerrero2772]

My record is 90 days in a row with a mixture of 12 and 16 hour shifts… not impressed. I’m former ER nurse, I’m not the record holder in my facility.

[@ryleepearce7866]

What was the song you were listening to on the way home out of night shift 2/3? It sounded really pretty!

[@SierraLyn]

Got you girl! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYCadpuQmsyYec0

[@aheilman6]

We stopped wearing masks on Tuesday. So weird feeling….

[@tf4496]

I love your videos so much!

[@coziness_cutie12]

HI!! I am young but I wanna be an RN nurse when I'm older and been studying nursing so I can be ready:) but when I look at every RN nurse passing the NCLEX exam. I think I won't pass because I'm not smart.

[@fionaokeefe1906]

Study hard! Try volunteering at a hospital or get a tutor for help. Good luck!

[@elizabethwright7979]

If I’m a sitter even if I’m a nurse I was sent to sit not take over care for that patient. you’re technically still responsible for that patient as to provide care. Yeah I can do vitals and change them or whatever but yeah it’s still your patient. Can’t leave the room anyway. Lol

[@fionaokeefe1906]

A sitter isn’t a nurse! Anyone can apply to be a sitter! You sit by the patient watch over them make sure they’re breathing doing ok through the night! However nurses techs come in and out of a patient’s room constantly so all you’re doing is sitting with a patient just to monitor them if they need anything like water or snacks you can provide that for them but always ask the nurse if it’s ok for the patient to eat and drink cuz sometimes doctors order no food or drink cuz of surgery or something! But in order to be a certified nurse you would need to enroll in a nursing school!

[@ryanhartig6038]

When would you no longer be considered a new grad RN

[@SierraLyn]

Probably when our new grad residency program is completed which is after a year of working!

[@mikepearson2756]

SO Pretty 🙂

[@786TYPE]
