How to feel better after making a mistake? What mistakes have you made?

I made a mistake today, I wouldn’t even call it that, it was just me being unknowledgeable about a patients health conditions & giving them a kind gesture (a cup of regular tea). I did call and ask beforehand if I could get them a cup of tea from the cafe, the nurse just said yeah, but from what I understand now the patient shouldn’t be having caffeine due to heart problems. I did immediately tell the nurse, and say is this okay?? but I didn’t really get given any clarity on the situation. Feeling guilty but patient was ok 4 hours later & chatting with me. This degree is eating me up I feel like I can’t do anything & everything is stressing me out. :(

I messed up

2nd year student here,
I am panicking, I’m on my 3rd placement (1st of 2nd year) I was put on the off duty for today but I thought I was due in tomorrow. I’m obviously panicking because I’m like omg I’m gonna fail. I’ve rang up and said I’m so sorry, they’ve said don’t worry about it and put me in Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Should I be panicking? Am I being dramatic? Idk

I’ve never done this before it’s like week 5/10 of my placement

Has anyone hated a placement so bad they want to drop out so they don’t need to go?

Currently me rn. Started a new placement in the slowest care home humanly possible, all of the staff are bitchy and miserable, constantly bitching about other staff workers. Not the most welcoming environment and it has really disheartened me. The residents are lovely but none of the carers want any help and the nurses don’t either :(

can’t finish by my partner touching me

hi sorry for the awkward title. It is a bit misleading. basically I got sexually assaulted 5 years ago prior to meeting my partner, and after that have never been able to finish at all whilst someone else is touching me. It’s like my mind is like ‘someone else is touching me and I physically can’t settle’ if that makes sense. I’ve been with my partner 4 years and we have figured out that I can finish when I use my wand during sex which was quite a relief as I thought it would never happen at all after the assault to begin with. that was really nice to discover. Anyway, my question is, has anyone experienced this before? I feel so left out when my friends talk about their sexual lives and how they finish so easily. And I wish I could finish without using any toys and purely just by my partner :( I feel robbed of my pleasure in a sense because of what happened to me and I am just looking for advice if anyone has overcome anything like this? sorry if this is too tmi, I just needed to ask as none of my friends can relate at all.
Thankyou :)

first 2 weeks!

Very happy with my progress overall, I’m just struggling for content I believe. I haven’t settled down on a niche this is purely just for fun, but I’m just looking for any advice :)

Ahhh! Progress!

I posted here about a week ago? About how I was first starting my journey and was looking for advice on my thumbnails. I am happy to announce I just reached 23 subscribers and my most recent video is doing very well! Exciting times! :)

very proud of my progress so far.

hi all :) I am looking for some constructive criticism if you will, but I am very proud of the way my channel is going. I am having the thumbnail dilemma at the moment, like I think they’re good considering I’ve never really edited before, but do they actually look clickable? I’m not set on a niche or anything at the moment I’m just kind of having fun with it as I really enjoy simply making videos. I’m not thinking about making this a full time-thing, I’m just having fun! anyway, point is, are these fun thumbnails or any tips to make them better? Thank you! I know the text looks rather small on mobile which I plan to improve on

New creator help: what is this?

It says on my YT studio I have 3.8k impressions. Now, I am very new and have NO CLUE what this means. My impressions click through rate is 1.1% and my most popular video (the only video I have published) is at 57 views. Is this good? What do I need to know about impressions? Thanks in advance.

looking for feedback:

Hi all! I am a newtuber and wanted some unbiased input (not my boyfriends ‘I love it!’ Feedback) on my thumbnails & channel banner & pfp. I use canva for everything, I have a pro subscription as I use it for my nursing course aswell, but wanted some new eyes to judge my layout. I am very happy to be starting as I have always wanted to since my childhood.

Thanks!

is this thumbnail appealing?

I used my own photographs & outlined them aside from the background (from Pinterest)
title is ‘What’s in my bag? - student nurse edition!’

What is the opinion on my channel layout?

Hi! Just made my new YouTube channel & uploaded. Just wondering on peoples thoughts on my thumbnails & my channel banner?
I did not use AI for anything as I genuinely despise it, any images used aside from my own I got from Pinterest :)

Mistake in 1st year

I made a mistake yesterday, I did obs for a fellow student as the ward was so busy and there was barely any staff, the patient was unknown to me and I had no clue of their history ect.

The first time I did obs was when I started this placement (2 weeks ago) as I got no experience on my last placement. I reported back that the patient scored a 6 on NEWS and values were very poor. I failed to mention the actual values, but I thought that their chart would have been checked by their nurse as this was not my patient.

Around 5 hours later the patient rapidly declined into Peri arrest & I am beating myself up because I didn’t say an actual value, but many other members of staff had visited the patient since and failed to pass the information of the chart on

edit: because of this, I got told I should have immediately told someone the values instead of saying ‘they have scored a 6’ & noted that they scored a 3&3, which I will definitely be doing in the future.

I just feel like I have failed

Will this get received badly?

I’m currently uploading a video discussing my experience with losing my mother due to alcohol, alongside my feelings around alcohol because of this. I’m just worried it’s going to be received badly due to being such a vulnerable topic.
The title is ‘navigating around grief and alcohol in my early twenties’ but I’m just wondering if you think this will be be received well and I’m not just setting myself up to be flamed online lol

What videos do you most commonly see from a new YouTuber?

Hi! I started my channel around 3 days ago and have published 2 long form videos with about 60 views in total, why in my eyes isn’t bad as I understand is a slow process.

What videos do you move commonly see from new YouTubers? And which ones do you actually engage with? What about a video draws you in and makes you want to stay?

I already know it will probably vary from person to person depending on what content you like to absorb, but are you more likely to click on it because it is a new creator’s video?

Opinions on my thumbnails?

Hi guys! I am a new member of this Reddit community, and I started my youtube channel yesterday. Since then, I have uploaded 2 videos and just want some opinions on my thumbnails and the overall aesthetic of my page. What do you like about it? What would you suggest me change? I am not an experienced editor so this is very new to me :)
Any constructive criticism is welcome :)
