Why are nurses leaving | the state of nursing | the future of nursing | nurses are tired #nurse

This morning, I woke up with a headache, I was going to call out from my part time job as an ICU nurse but decided not.
My morning routine is pretty simple, shower, skincare, light makeup, pack my meals and head out. Today I opted for ginger tea instead of coffee. Ginger tea helps a lot with headaches and nausea.
If you’re a perfume lover, you’ll love the scents created by the Harlem Perfume Co. All of the scents are amazing.
I’m working a lot but that does not stop me from preparing healthy meals for work. Check out my @wholefoods grocery haul to see what $157 got me.
I also finally got some hair extensions installed. I was tired of the same old look and wanted to switch things up.
Thank you all for you support. I am forever indebted to you all for taking the time to watch my videos.

This video explains my stance on my working as an ICU nurse is easier than working as a nurse on med surg.
For med surg RNs wanting to transition to the ICU, this video is definitely for you.
Thank you for watching.
I hope this vlog finds you well.

Also, I am officially back working in the intensive care unit (ICU). I am very happy with my decision to become an ICU nurse again.
I also want to share with you the shampoo and conditioner I've been using lately from @Redken . If your hair is dry and needs moisture and. hydration, @Redken All Soft Shampoo and Conditioner will get the job done (not sponsored)

I unintentionally had a no call, no show for my part time job as an ICU nurse. Yikes!!!!
Today, I was able to get a few things done. Returning Verizon’s equipment was the most important.
I’m also creating a vision/mood board to have some more clarity on my goals and vision.
I also took a trip to Barnes and Noble for a new read.
Mother’s guilt always gets the best of me

I get a lot of compliments on my skin. I’ve been using @LilyAnaNaturals Retinol face cream lately and it’s been working wonderful.
I will not eat watermelon that’s seedless. I don’t care, seeded only, lol.
I started working at a new hospital, in the ICU. I am happy to be challenged again and to use my critical care thinking skills.
Thank you all for the support. See you soon in another video.
I used my iPhone 16 pro to film this vlog & iMovie to edit. It’s my first time using iMovie to edit, it was okay. A little too basic for my liking.
I hope you all are well and enjoying the summer.
In this video, I am sharing the challenges faced by med surg nurses. I recently quit my prn med surg position.
I will be going back to ICU nursing for a little bit & updates on my nurse practitioner journey.
I am not full time at the bedside but I do pick up shifts once a week at a local hospital to help maintain my clinical skills and practice.
I like sharing stories of things I have encountered in my practice as a nurse because it can help another nurse or nursing student.
This video is for educational purposes, a way of paying forward. As a nurse and educator, safe practice is a top priority. I hope you find this video helpful.
Please share with a #newgradnurse or #nursingstudent .
As always, thank you for watching and thank you for your support.
I recently celebrated my 44th birthday with a trip to Italy.
I flew solo and met up with a group of women I met for the first time. We spent time in the Tuscany region and Rome.
I never imagined doing this but it was so amazing. I cannot wait to start exploring the world some more.
Hope you are well!

I’ve added using a gua sha to my daily skincare routine. The oil I’m using with the gua sha is from @DrunkElephantSkincare . Check out their #marula oil. It is amazing
The gua sha is from @Sephora
I also cook quite a bit, I like eating healthy so you will see some of the meals I prepare throughout the week. I use a #castironskillet for a lot of my meal preparation.
13:56 is the voice of YouTuber @moniquespeaksandreactions . Please go and subscribe to her channel. I’ve been listening to her videos lately and I love her commentary. Keep them coming girl. I was rushing to put out this vlog, I forgot to put your name on the screen. I will in my next vlog.
Thank you all for your support.
Hope you all are well! This is sort of a #chattyvlog. I share my thoughts on the recent election and why #kamalaharris did not stand a chance.
Check out @thecommunityledger recent video where she summarizes how I and so many other people felt about the recent election.

Maybe it’s the seasonal changes or my perimenopause symptoms, I don’t know but I recognize and I am working to be better.
In this #vlog, I am just running around, trying to get things done. There’s never enough time in the day.
Thank you all for watching and the constant support❤️
We celebrated my good friend Sheena’s birthday with a cooking class. It was so much fun and I hope I was able to capture the friendship we share since meeting in nursing school.
Anyway, I spent a few days in beautiful Jamaica. As always Jamaica was wonderful to me. I opted to stay at an Air BnB this time and enjoyed more of the local living.
Here’s the Air BnB info if ever you’re in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. The host is Gordon and he is very responsive.

In this video, I share my thoughts on the ongoing 50/50 conversation. The idea that a man should pay for everything, not limited to bills but the woman’s maintenance, upkeep, vacations and luxury items.
This topic is controversial and I wanted to share my perspective on reality, economics and dating.
Please be respectful in the comments, no need for rudeness when sharing thoughts, ideas and perspectives. 🖤🖤🖤
Also, shout out to my girl @fromcnatonp for finally coming back to YouTube and putting us onto the bioengineered ingredients found in Aldi’s foods.
I had so many issues uploading this vlog but finally I did it. Many of you know that I am originally from the Spice Isle, Grenada. I spent a few days there in July and even though I didn't vlog much of the trip, I was able to put together this vlog with some of the galavanting that I did.
#grenada is beautiful and I am at my best when I am there. Hope you all enjoy. Thank you for the love and support. @puregrenada #grenadanice #travelvlog

Please watch as I thoroughly explain why she was wrong. Some med surg units do admit patients on ventilators. I am also missing being an icu nurse, I am getting the itch to go back.

Of course I’m back with another vlog, sharing various thoughts. The title gives away what was on my mind over the past few days. Nursing topics are important to me but I have interests in so many other things that I’ll share occasionally.
Thank you to @curalife for sending me their Curalin Glucose Support Supplement. Health and wellness is very important to me, so I know I will benefit from incorporating their supplement into my diet.
Also, thanks to @morgansandiego She inspired me to share my thoughts on nurses choosing to become mental health nurse practitioners. Go check out her channel where she is spilling tea on nursing as a career.
Thank you all for watching and thank you for your continued support ❤️❤️❤️

I am trying my best to get back into vlogging. I finally had an entire weekend off and decided to record some of the things I do when off.
Y'all know i love a good Farmer's Market. I am also still very much a Pilates Princess, who is trying to get fit and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Thank you all so much for your support.
Glad to be back. In this sit down video, I share my journey on how I ended up becoming a nurse.
I also want to thank @kevinjubbalmd for the amazing commentary he recently did on one of my videos. I am grateful for the exposure. 💯🙏🏾
To anyone thinking of becoming a nurse, go for it. Do not let anyone or any content seen on here deter you. Nursing gives you an opportunity to change your life and future generation. You just have to plan accordingly.
