WHO AM I:
I'm Jay- an RN, creator, athlete, and student of life from Minnesota, USA.

I am fascinated with the human body and how we can optimize to function at the highest level possible. Special interests in functional medicine, longevity, nutrition science, and holistic view to health. I strive to deeper understand the connection between the mind, body, and spirit.
I grew up playing sports all day, every day. I played football, basketball, and ran track in high school, playing a bit of basketball at the collegiate level. Ran a marathon. I have always been a hard worker, and I will continue to pursue challenges, play sports, get outside, mtn bike, ski, etc.
I love to travel and experience the world.

In dialysis we worked 13’s but with two half hour breaks and 3 fifteens. And it was not like in the hospital where nurses eat their food at the desk. You have to leave and go to the break room and nobody can bother you. Our 15’s we often just condensed them into a late afternoon break. I think it’s important to step off the floor and units should do a better job at supporting breaks.

@@StudentNurseDaryl Hi. For me I knew early on that nursing wasn’t for me. Understaffing and high pressures here in Ireland, it was too much for me. I was 22 and I felt burnt out. But I have a keen interest in both patient care and the field of sciences, radiation therapy provides both. For me, It’s a better fit. Definitely having my nursing background is so beneficial because now as a student RT I have found communicating with patients and dealing with their side effects from the radiation very natural :)

Best wishes to all that select a career as a RN, BSN. I just retired after 35 years as an RN, BSN. It's doable. Just find an area of nursing you really like. Keep exploring until you find it. It is extremely important you achieve a good work life balance and don't become burnt out. It's a lot of time and money to becoming an RN, BSN, so make it work. If you can't make it work give some thought to crossing over to a physician assistant. For some strange reason the PA's earn more anyway. Good luck to each of you. We need good nurses.

[@Wilkins325]

Thank you so much for this comment. Ive been considering becoming a nurse for a while, and seeing all of the negative posts online makes me feel hesitant to make the leap. I know nursing is a very broad and flexible field, so theres got to be good areas, and some bad ones. i feel like we hear much more negativity about nursing then positivity because all of the happy nurses arent ranting online about it haha.

[@wjsb437]

PAs earn more money because they have a 4 year bachelors degree and then a masters in physician assistant studies on top of that. They can also move further and obtain a doctorate. Being a PA can be a great occupation, but quite a bit of work to even get accepted into a program and is extremely rigorous. You can’t work during PA school and often student loans are hefty. But, well worth it when all said and done.

[@peanutsassyathena]

@@wjsb437 I'm aware of all of that. RNs can do the same thing, have a masters and a doctorate. My point is, an RN can transition to a PA if desired instead of advanced nursing degrees. PA programs were not offered in my local universities until years after I had obtained my RN, BSN and ongoing education for a Masters in Nursing. Had a PA program or a MD been offered at time I would have either gone for the PA or MD. I had already completed all classes necessary for premed except for four classes. Had there been more medical educations options at the time my choices would have been different. Today more choices are out there and I'm trying to educate RNs don't feel locked into being an RN. Consider becoming a PA and even consider becoming a MD. After 3+ decades working as an RN I'm finally retired, but still here to encourage RNs to reach higher. I remember being very frustrated because I wanted to learn more than what was being taught at a RN level. I really wanted to learn at a MD level. For those of you that have the academic ability don't short yourselves - reach higher.

[@wjsb437]

@@peanutsassyathena I understand what you’re saying! I didn’t mean for my comment to come off rude, I just wanted to offer more info as sadly many people are unaware of what PAs are. And I agree, if you have ability and want to put in some time, go further with your degree! I don’t generally see too many RNs moving to PA nowadays, just because NP is so much more accessible.

Soo freaking cute!!! Im in my last semester of nursing school in CT, I use to say oh I'm never going to date another nurse, but that's BS, I def have no prob dating other nurses. Male nurses such as you are mad attractive. Especially here on KZbin😝😝😂😂
