Hello everyone. And welcome to my channel. My name is Maria and my channel.
I create videos around everything
nursing, I also have a handful of lifestyle content,
also make sure you subscribe to my channel.
I am trying to get to 10,000 subscribers and also make sure you give this video
a, like, not only does it help with the growth for my channel,
but also tells YouTube
that you guys would like to see more videos like this as always.
This video is in partnership with www.nursingpersonalstatement.co.uk
So make sure you check that website.
If you haven't done so all ready,
I'm going to be sharing about four or five things that, you know,
if this is you, then nursing school is basically not for you.
If you're not a people's person, then nursing is not for you.
And I don't mean people's person in terms of you step into the room and everyone
like hey Maria or, you know, you step into a party and you know,
you're the first one to dance, I'm not talking about that.
But if you literally cannot talk to people,
then nursing is not for you. I've actually heard of some people saying that, Oh,
you know, when I finished nursing school, when I work,
I'm going to go straight to ICU because I don't have to talk to patients.
And it's like, how does that make sense? Because yeah, fair enough you know,
most of the patients in ICU don't talk because a lot of them you know are heavily sedated
but it's like, are
you not going to have to talk to their husband, their wife,
or you're not gonna have to talk to their family members,
or you're not going to have to talk to like other members of the team who are
also helping to care for the patient. If you can't talk to people,
if you can't hold a conversation down, if you can't get your point across,
you know, effectively, without sounding as you know,
just without being like rude or nasty about it, then, then nursing is,
is really not for you.
I do want to say that a lot of the points that I mentioned in,
obviously you don't have to start nursing school
having a hundred percent of these points.
Cause a lot of them you will learn to develop if you are generally a shy person
then trust me you know,
nursing school will honestly bring it out of you if you've got it in you.
And if you don't have it in you, then, you know,
you you'll find out along the way,
whether nursing school or a career in nursing is still for you.
If you cannot take an L if you can't take a loss, because
if you can't, you know,
just sometimes be the bigger person that nursing school is not for you.
A career in nursing is not for you.
I don't even want to say people will try you, but situations will be trying.
And if you're the sort of person who always wants to come out, like, yes I'm right?
Oh yes, I want this conversation. Oh yes. What I say is final.
You will lose. You will actually lose. Like it's not everything that happens.
Or it's not everything that someone says to you that you have to react to.
Sometimes you just have to, it's not even taking the L.
Its not even being the bigger person, sometimes you just have to let it slide,
let it go. It doesn't mean not being a mug. It doesn't mean, you know,
kind of just sitting still. And just to let things happen to you and just,
you know, basically going with the flow, cause only dead fish,
really only dead fish constantly go with the flow.
In nursing practice we're always taught about prioritize and prioritize and
prioritizing your patient care. But you also need to prioritize your energy.
You also need to preserve your energy. Yes. This may have peed you off.
This may have annoyed you, but you know, let it go.
Like you don't need to take every single situation up on its head.
If you cant even act as an advocate for yourself,
how on earth do you think you're going to be able to act as an advocate for your
patients? Because oftentimes, you know, some people think, Oh no,
it's just the nurses that do that. It's just the nurses that do that.
No every level, every type of healthcare professional,
whether you're registered, whether you're non registered, when you're qualified,
whether you're non qualified, whether you're a student,
whether you're in a nursing profession,
everybody acts as an advocate for their patients because that is the number,
probably the number, the number one thing. And like I said,
a lot of these things you learn and you develop if you have it in you
some people have in them, but they've just not realized it.
If you have the new then yes, nursing school, the training, the education,
all of that will help bring it out of you. But if you don't have it in you,
if it's never been in you, then you will realize that early on,
A lot of us do know that nurse profession in the UK isn't paid very well.
That being said, there are some nursing specialties.
There are some nurses who have kind of, you know, put relevant things in place.
Are doing certain things, meaning that they can make a lot of money.
I'm aware of some nurses. So making about 800 pound a shift, you know,
in certain specialties working, you know, certain bank holidays. So yes,
nursing can be very lucrative, but if you're just thinking, Oh,
I just want to be a nurse. So I can become one lucrative nurses. Who's making,
you know, in excess of like 400, 500 a shift
you will lose every single time because there was,
there's so much that you have to sacrifice to get there.
And if money is your main goal, then nursing, isn't nursing.
Isn't the best way to get there.
I can think of so many professions where you can make so much money
as soon as you graduate. So if you want to make a lot of money,
go into other professions, start a business. That's how you can make, um,
you can make money nursing in the UK. Isn't, isn't where it is, where it's at.
It. It actually, isn't where it's at. So there we have it.
