 You can't point out your own question. I went too hard on your question. Squawks, what is the happiest memory you have? Cycling to my grandma's every Saturday and playing the Sims. Literally, I am a gamer today because of my grandma. Those of you that don't know, she passed away. God, when was it now? It was a year ago, literally like the first of September 2017. I was with her the entire night before she passed away and she is the reason I am a gamer because when the Sims... We keep pulling this down. When the Sims 1 came out, my grandad used to build PCs and my grandma used to love those type of strategy games so she was mental into the Sims. She loved the Sims and every time back then you had to download it from a disk and then when you got the upgrade you had to get another disk and then download that but then because you had the upgrade you didn't need the original disk. So grandma would then give me the original disk when she got an upgrade so I never bought the Sims when I was younger. And it was literally just going to my grandma's every weekend and we just played the Sims together. It was like my favourite memories ever. Here we go. You saw that face, guys. Maths. I did do a maths vlog so go and have a look at the maths vlog. Is the work 4 slash assignment hard? Do placements have to...? There's a couple of questions on one thing, yeah. Okay, so basically is the work 4 slash assignments hard? Well, okay. And twice on first placement. Them two would work together. Yeah. There you go. Okay, so maths, if you go and have a look at my vlog you'll see that the recent maths exam I took was not hard. It was really simple. To be fair, I'm yet to watch all of them. But then it depends on who you are and what you like. But I struggle with maths personally. She does. She thought she was born in like 1990? Exactly. You're not. I'm an 83 baby. So I really struggle with maths and I found it incredibly easy and I did it in like seven minutes. So that's just... Seven minutes. Good girl. I mean it was 10 questions and we did get a calculator. Nobody knows that yet. I'm a genius. So work and assignments hard. The thing is with things like exams and things that only hard if you don't know the answer. Yeah. Like if you know the answer it's easy. So if you revise and put in the work you're going to get the rewards from it is the shorter answer of that. Then I've got a question to add to that though. What if, because if anyone's like me I really struggle with revision because I try so hard to remember stuff and I just lose, I'm like a sieve. Yeah. So how would you retain that knowledge? Good question. So a top tip that I was given for that was by using the different elobes of the brain I know. Interesting fact. Getting technical now. Are you ready? Yeah. So basically you can't just read and read and read. You have to read, write, watch videos like YouTube, listen and speak. So you have to talk to people like bounce off each other get a work group together, bounce off questions to each other so that it jogs all the parts of the brain because during an exam apparently when your mind goes blank you're going to have other sections that backs it up. Oh yeah. Does that even make sense? Yeah, I guess, yeah. So your mind goes blank but your whole mind doesn't go blank it's just that one little piece of the memory that's gone blank but because you've used every section of the lobe it's refreshing and it pulls forward that information. Interesting. So are the assignments hard? Again it depends on what the assignment is. I found my very first assignment a real struggle because I didn't understand it and... Was it nervous about your first one? Yeah, because it was my first one and I wasn't very academic anyway but once you get that first one out the way you take on the feedback you go to your personal development department if you've got one of those at your university every university you should have one of those and get some tutorials and you'll be fine. It's not that hard. I'm not academic at all. I left school without GCSEs and trust me I'm the worst person at academic and I've done it and if I can do it any of you can do it. Good advice. Oh, advice on first placement. So I'm gonna do a whole vlog on placements just purely for placements because there's been quite a lot of questions about placements so I'm gonna cover that in a different vlog. Sounds good. In the next couple of weeks. In the next two weeks, okay? Okay, so what have we got on here? If we've run out of that we can go onto YouTube. Do you want any plans on coming to America one day? Oh yeah, go on then. Any plans on coming to America one day? That is for Rene. Yeah, Rene, yeah. Rene, sorry Rene. I would love to come to America. It's just at the minute I don't really have the money and this sounds pathetic but I have one big issue meaning that I can't really leave the flat for more than one night and there are two little fluffballs that you guys love so much. Yeah, I mean my neighbour could probably look after my cats to be fair but I would get really paranoid and really anxious about how they're doing and I'd want to call up my neighbour and go, you alright? Can I speak to the cats? Face time. Yeah, with the cats, you know. I'd love to. It's just really hard because of my little babies at home. So, yeah. I like this question for you, Claire. Yeah. This is from Cez Francis. This is from Cez Francis, yeah. Hi Cez. She won't mind me saying her name. We know that you're doing a collab with Claire soon and I have seen all your comments I know who I've just hit myself in the face. Yes, you do. I know who you are. See, she knows who you are. So, one thing you love about gay men, I like that question. This is relevant to EX. Yeah. So, come on in, Claire. What's the one thing you love about gay men? I love gay men but I love retro gay men more than... She does. Like, I don't do card and things like that. You played Mario today. I played Mario. Old Mario on an old Nintendo. It was so exciting. There's a SNES. She's amazing. I'm so happy. But I love proper retro video gaming. And to be honest, I think it's just... I don't know where it's came from in my life because I've always had a computer or a console or as far as I can remember, like since I was tiny, tiny. I don't know where it's come from or why I'm on that side. They kind of came big when we were younger. Yeah. I think they first came into households when we were kids. Yeah. So... So, for me, it reminds me of my childhood and being young and innocent and playing video games with my nan and... Yeah. The short answer was it reminds me of a childhood because it's what I grew up with and it's what I love. And it's nice to just take your mind... Like we said before, it's nice to take your mind off nursing and just to distract yourself from real life. I think it's just nice to get away. Being a nurse is important but you also need time for yourself. And I know that from working in sort of health. A lot of hate for the pineapple. Nice one with you. Yeah. The pineapple question. I love this one. Miss Lucky Ducky. Hashtag Pineapples Forever. She's a streamer by the way. Yes. Pineapples Forever. Real question from William Thompson. Hey William. What made you start doing YouTube and live streaming? Well, funny question actually because I never wanted to be a live streamer. Never did. I wanted to be like a Jacksepticeye character. I wanted to do pre-recorded content. I wanted to be like funny because I think I am. I'm really not. But I didn't have the equipment because you need like a proper PC and it will get a game capture card and it can be quite expensive. And I got impatient because I was on a minimum wage job working at a nursing home. Working five days a week, minimum wage and I was just keeping my head above war. And it was just really, really hard. And then I discovered that if you live streamed you can just press the share button on the PlayStation. And ta-da! You go live on YouTube. So I thought, do you know what? Screw it. Let's give it a go. And do you know what? Even if this became a full-time thing I would never go out streaming. Streaming is my number one thing now because it's so interactive. And it's so good. It's nice. It's so nice. And I would still do like let's plays on the sides but I'm so happy that I just kind of got the guts to do live streaming because it was never what I wanted to do but I don't regret it. At all. I don't regret it. Okay, I like this one. Oh, that's from Kyle. Which one? Both of them. Oh, okay. So your ultimate goals? Towards me guys. Oh, hi! I know them. Yeah. Yeah. Kyle for towards me guys. Yeah. I think they subscribe to me. Hi! Yeah. Which one's Kyle? The blonde one or the other one? The blonde one. The blonde one. Oh, he's cute, bless him. He is a cute. They're both cute, though. Yeah. What's your name? Claire Carmill. Claire Carmill. What was it he called you? Claire Carmill. He's gonna hate us about any. Thanks, Jacob. I saw that. Yeah. So your ultimate goals? What's this professor? Professional person. Oh, I get it. A professional or person. That's had the biggest impact on your career. Okay. So your ultimate goals or the professional person that's had the biggest impact on your career? Ultimate goals? Well, it depends what sort of goals like work-wise, personal. My ultimate goal in life would to be to save the world. But we all know that's not gonna happen. Yeah. So if I can just literally inspire and motivate one person to be a person or encourage them to be themselves, that's my life made. That is the ultimate goal to me. But work-wise, I want to work with students. I want to mentor students. I want to work in a general practice. I want to keep my sexual healthness as well because I love it. It was so joked when you first got a sexual health job. I know. But it's great fun. And I just, I love it. I love it all. And what was the next question? The personal profession that had the biggest, I guess professor actually, that had the biggest impact on your career. Oh. Oh. Oh. Let me just think. Take a moment. It's gonna have to crop this video. Actually, it's getting to 24 minutes now. That's a really tricky question because so many people have had such an impact on me throughout my life, not throughout my life, but throughout this nursing journey. So I think, I mean, it started for me when I was seven years old and my granddad was dying at home. That's when I first come into contact with nurses and I thought, you know what? These people are amazing and they're a massive inspiration to me. And that's my first ever memory. So I think probably those nurses back then, the district nurses that came out, it's probably why I've got a massive love for the community because that's all I've ever known is community. So actually, no, do you know what? I'm gonna, do you know what? The biggest thing that's had the biggest, I have no idea. Okay. Sorry. In my head it's making sense. I know exactly. I'm reading my mind. Honestly, the biggest impact on me was during my first year of nursing, the first six months I've got my head. I've said this before in a vlog. I've got my head down. I just wanted to work. I wanted to pass the course. I didn't want to do anything else. And then halfway through, after the six months, we had a staying successful event which was put on by Rob Map. Big shout out to Rob Map, our program director. Because if it wasn't for him and he didn't put on this staying successful event, I probably wouldn't be doing half the amount of stuff that I'm doing now. Because of that event and the things that people said during that event about, it was really motivating basically. And there's this one guy that was there. What's his name? David Keeling. Don't look at me. Oh, I don't know why. I think his name was David Keeling. He's like a comedian slash motivator speaker. Motivator? Motivational. I won't change it. I'll help. Motivational speaker. And he was saying stuff about do you want to get through these three years with your head down? Just getting by or do you want to make something of yourself and make the most of these three years at university? And just literally from that moment, I don't know what happened, but literally something just clicked. And I was so motivated from that second. I was like, whoa, okay. I need to change because I can't just be getting by and need to do something. So those are the three things, top things I think that have really impacted on my career. And me. I'm Kim. I helped her YouTube. Obviously, obviously. Oh yeah, and you. She helps me so much with my channel. So we've come off the discord now for mine, but Renee did have another question and she basically asked what age would I ever give up streaming? I will play as long as I can. My grandma had a muscle wasting disease and it never stopped her from gaming. It stopped her from doing the games that she liked to do, which was PC games, but she went on to things like Facebook games. And did like the first stuff. So cool. Yeah, because she still wanted to play games. That's so cool. And she did it into her 70s. So I don't think I ever will. There is no age on things. No, honestly, there's no age. It doesn't matter. If you like doing something, don't ever stop. Unless it isn't making you happy anymore. Don't ever stop. Or you physically can't. Yeah. But here's the thing. My grandma had a muscle wasting disease and she found my granddad and she messed around with her mouse settings and it was really sensitive. So if I touched it, the cursor would fly off the screen. But if she touched it, it was like a normal mouse because she was so like, because of her muscle wasting disease. That's so lovely. But just a quick one. What's his name? What's his actual name? My nephew Michael. Say hi to Claire. Hi. Hi. There you go. Hi Michael. Did it. My nephew everybody is Tuga. Tuga. I don't know. Tuga. But yeah, say hi to Claire. Hi Michael. Hi Claire. Hi. Tips on passing first year. Yeah, that's your question. This is hilarious. So basically your first year is... Get a good mark. It's a practice year. Let's face it. First year is your practice year to make your mistakes and learn from your mistakes. Make mistakes. Don't listen to her. Get good marks. Study hard. You want to get good marks and study hard but you are going to make mistakes. Yes. You are going to make mistakes in first year because it's all new. You're finding your feet and for me, I mean my first assignment, I got 55%. Okay, that was a pass but I was gutted and I made a lot of mistakes. But I took on board the feedback and I changed. And it was a pass. And the next, my next assignment, I managed to get 75%. So just take on board any feedback, you get on exams and assignments. Take them on board and put them into practice for your next one. Also, top tips for passing first year is... Make a YouTube channel. Make a YouTube channel? Why are you YouTubeing yourself? Sorry. My brain's gone. This is why you shouldn't vlog with me. No. I actually can't be going on. Claire's a serious vlogger. I'm a gamer. I'm a gamer. I'm a gamer. What was this? Oh. I'm a gamer. I'm a gamer. I'm a gamer. I'm a gamer. What was this? Oh. Look up Manchester Phrase Bank. For assignments, Manchester Phrase Bank is amazing. And the book? The B&F. Yeah. You need a B&F for first year. See, I know that and I'm not even a nurse. Top tip for first year, get yourself a B&F. You can get it free from any pharmacy. Just tell them that you're a student nurse and they'll give you one. It's because I hear you talk about it all the time. The B&F, it is your Bible. Let's face it. It is your Bible. I watch your vlogs and I hear you talk about all the drugs and medications, and I hear you talk about B&F. She's lost it. So first year is literally about finding your feet, finding your style of writing, how you write assignments, how you revise, finding your room number of where you're going to go in the university. And just don't feel so overwhelmed the first year because it can feel overwhelming as well at times. So, yeah. That's fine. Big school. It is big school. It's big school. Right. Look who the next question's from. It's me. We each gave each other a question, didn't we? What was your question? Okay. I don't remember it. Okay. If you had to play one video game for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? Okay. So I'm going to expand on that. Which PlayStation are we talking about? One, two, three. Any one you want. Because I've got different games for each PlayStation. Any game. Any console. So PlayStation 1, back in the day, PlayStation 1, when that came out, I was really into racing games. So probably Grand Theonin. No. It's really late guys. It's like half past midnight. Yeah, it is. But yeah, PlayStation 1, I've got very good memories of Gran Turismo. Love that game. Neve Speed Underground 2 was amazing. PlayStation 3 is Far Cry 3. You guys know that I replayed that on the PlayStation. And then PlayStation 4. I only asked for one by the way not. Yeah, but I said which console. So then, so Far Cry 3, I'm going to continue. Far Cry 3 on the PlayStation 3 and on the PS4, I don't know. Maybe Cod World War 2. That's very controversial because a lot of people would hate that game. But I love boots on the ground. But did Cod copy Halo? Apparently most people said no. Another Wi-Fi war's vote, don't ask. So yeah. So Gran Turismo, Neve Speed Underground 2, Far Cry 3 and World War 2. On each PlayStation. There we go. Advice on what you wish you knew when starting second year. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. They're getting good now, guys. Ooh. That is a good question. How fast is going to go? Whoa. That's it. That was something new. How fast? People always say, you know, you blink and it goes fast. I mean, they tell you some first year. No one told me that second year was going to be the fastest year of life. My late 20s went fast. 25 to 30 just vanished. But this last year, I've literally blinked and it's gone so fast. It's been crazy. I don't know what difference that makes. I would say is that it? It's just sounding like she was finished there. Is that it? Advice. Oh, be organised. Yes. Advice for second year. Oh my God. Sorry. Can we just quit and start again? Yeah. So, okay. So Claire. This is the first time we've asked this question. My brain's gone. Honestly. This is not the second time we've asked this question. Advice on what you wish you knew when starting second year. Okay. This is our second take of this. No, it's not. Just remember. It's not at all. It's the first take. It's just absolute lying to you. Okay. My advice for second year is literally be organised because the workload goes up in second year. The level goes up in second year. Everything is intense in second year. But if you're organised and you're doing the work as it comes in and as it's launched to you, you're going to stay on top of it and you're going to manage just fine. Good advice. I found it just fine. First time round. Good advice. Thanks. Yes. I smashed it. Advice. Be organised, prepare, prioritise your workload as it comes in and you'll be absolutely smashing second year. Green Day Richard says... Hi Green Day. So Green Day Richard says when did you start playing video games and what game did you first play? Oh my God. I'm going to give up my age right now. Okay. So when I was a kid we were very poor. I've played every PlayStation but I never had a PS1. My best friend had it. However, my granddad being an electrician he would often get old and I mean really old stuff from like the 80s fix it and give it to me in like the late 90s. So in like sort of 1993 I was playing an Atari and my first ever game that I ever played was Pitfall and we spoke about it today at EGX. It was basically the colours in this game. It was very pixelated so everything was in square blocks and it was green and black and the sky was blue. It's like the old Amstrads. Yeah. So yeah. Like because the sky was blue the grass was green and you had to jump over logs. It was like You have to do this on the keyboard. It was a joy pad thing. I think it was a joystick. Sorry I was thinking about my Amstrads. Oh yeah but I had a Commodore 64 with a tape. You had to rewind the tape to start the game. Oh my God. But Pitfall was I used to come home from school and I used to play Pitfall non-stop. Claire. You ready? Yes. What was your best thing about second year? Lots of second year questions. Oh this is easy. General practice placement. Oh I love. Simple. My general practice placement. To be fair I watched your vlog. You loved it. I absolutely loved my general practice placement. It sounded like an amazing place. And I cried so much when I left. It sounded like such a good place to work though. But oh no. But then I did do the Buddy International week last week. And that was possibly one of the best weeks of my life. It was such an amazing week. I met loads of international students. One of them was at EGX. We had a great time. One of them was at EGX. I saw her on Instagram and I was like What? It was yesterday wasn't it? We weren't there yesterday. She went yesterday. Yeah I saw it and I was like oh I haven't actually commented on a thing. I'm going to have to comment. But yeah. There are two moments from second year that really stand out. Emma. Yes. How long have you had Saber by Lettuce? I got them both on the same day. I got Saber from a town called Corby. And then I took him. I got my... Isn't that by Liverpool? No. It's in Northamptonshire. I don't know. She's not a geography person. No I'm really not. I got them both on the same day. And I think they're 10 and 8 in February. Because I think... Yes because they're only young when I stayed at yours. Yeah. I don't know. 5. Mystique was... 6 years ago. Mystique is 2 weeks older than Saber. So I just kind of give them the joint birthday to run about the 10th. February. And so yeah it'll be 8 years this February. I can't believe it. You're yawning. I can't stop yawning. Terrible. I'll say terrible. I've started now that's it. Yeah. What will you do after you graduate work... I thought I said mattress then. It doesn't look like mattress. It doesn't look like mattress. It's just like a glamor. It's your handwriting. It's not you guys. Masters. Masters. So yeah what will you do after you graduate? Work, masters etc. I think I've sort of covered that. I've told you the areas that I want to go in. General practice nursing. Helping students. Sexual health. But I am in a bit of a debt. I am in a bit of a debt. Sorry she's just showing me the question. I'm in a bit of a dilemma because I don't know what to do first. I don't know whether to do a teaching qualification when I qualify because I do want to do maybe teaching at the university or do I want to do something else that's like a mentoring course. I think you're so passionate you love teaching. Yeah I would. Or do I want to do my nurse prescribing because I want to do nurse prescribing. I mean I'm in a dilemma with what I actually want to do now when I qualify like what's the first thing I want to do. But you can take a year out. No I don't want to take a year out. Okay. There's no chance of taking me out. No gap here guys. There's no chance for a gap here. It's taking me ten years. Don't go to Fiji no. It's taking me almost ten years to get to where I want to be right now. I'm going to email the careers guy Alex who's amazing at Birmingham City University and speak to him about all of this. I saw it on the train. This university? Yeah you did didn't you? Sorry interrupting.
