 Hi guys. So I wanted to do a nursing rant video. I guess it's kind of different from videos I normally do. I don't know. Maybe it's gonna be the same. We'll see how this goes. But here's my rant. I am tired of nursing students saying or nurses saying like it's okay. Like I don't have to do my best on this. I just need to pass or I just need to get by or I just need to get through my shift. Because why settle for that minimal standard? Why set the bar low to where you just have to be above the bar? When you could set the bar high to strive to be above the bar. Going through nursing school I had a lot of fellow classmates where we had taken an exam and maybe they didn't score as well. And they'd say like oh why didn't really study my hardest for that exam. So that's why I got that score. Or oh you know it doesn't really matter that I got a C. You know it's still passing so I'm fine with that as long as I get through this course. And you know I think that's just a way for a lot of people to cope with you know maybe not doing as well as they wanted or knowing that they should have done more and they didn't. But why settle for that when you know you can give more? Especially in a field like nursing where you are literally involved in like a patient's life. Like you can make the difference between life and death literally. Like that's how much responsibility you have. So why settle for like oh it's okay I didn't have to do that well. Or I'm just trying to get through this shift just pass by. So quit with the minimalist attitude. Be better. Be bigger. Be stronger. Be more motivated to do better. And not just do better but do your best. You should be able to walk into every single nursing exam and say you know with everything that's going on in my life right now I know that I studied my hardest. I gave everything that I could for this exam. I did everything within my power to study and prepare. So even if I fail this exam in my head I know that I did everything I could for this exam. And if you fail then you know for the next exam well obviously what I did last time didn't work. So now I need to do everything differently. And have that attitude. That's one thing that really helped me with anxiety during test is knowing that I was walking in saying yep I literally studied every day. Yep I literally did flash cards on you know every single medication. I read the entire chapter. I went to all the test reviews with my friends and with the teacher. I was emailing the teacher blah blah like I literally did everything I could for each exam. And so do that. Don't settle for you know just passing by. Do your best and that will carry on with you into your nursing world. Your patients may not ever say thank you to you but your patients will thank you for being smart. For being well prepared. For going that extra step for them. And really that's what makes the difference between you know a really really great solid nurse and someone who's just there who's just has a job. It's not necessarily their career it's just their job that they show up to every single day. So that's the end of my rant. I hope you guys enjoyed this video.
