That’s awesome! I’m glad you found what worked for you ☺️ I think everyone’s different and has a different learning style. It’s important to find what works best for you and I’m glad you have!

Congratulations on starting nursing school this fall! I hope you love it and that these tips help you ☺️

Chassitti Lincoln me too! 💕

Good luck!! I find out tomorrow if I did well enough in exams to get in, hopefully I'll be starting in September

Congratulations beautiful

Chassitti Lincoln could you give an update hun?

Yes absolutely!! It takes sacrifice but is going to be so worth it ☺️

Wow thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and found it encouraging and honest at the same time. That’s a standard I try to hold myself too, I know anyone can do it if they’re willing to work for it 🙂

I’m so glad & you’re so welcome!! ☺️

Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching :)

Ahh I'm so glad to hear this video was encouraging for you! Nursing school is so hard but you can do it! Just remember - every nurse was in your shoes and they survived it so so can you! You've got this girl :) So excited for you!! Also enjoy your last few years of High School, thats such a fun special time in life!

Congratulations on getting into your program!! Yay so glad you’re here ☺️🎉

Study pharmacology, and lab values too if you can,good luck and may the force be with you.

Yes! Pharm and lab values are sooo helpful to have memorized!

Thank you! :)

Wow how sweet of you to take the time to watch and better understand their experiences. I love that!! I’m so glad you enjoyed and you’re welcome ☺️ thanks for watching!

It is tough and I’ve heard the same thing! Thank you I appreciate it ☺️

How exciting!! Wishing you the best of luck in your program ☺️ and you’re so welcome!! I hope you find them helpful!

You’re going to do great 🥰

Oh my goodness! That's such a big compliment, thank you!! 💛

Try not to stress! Just be ready to learn a lot, work hard, and you’re gonna do great ☺️

You’re welcome!! I’m glad you found it helpful ☺️

Elise Thomas Please take it again. Everybody has a bad test day. I took my tease for the RN program and I passed everything but physics. I got so mad at myself that I went home and did some Google research and studied and went back and scored 25 points higher than what I needed. Don’t give up!!

Monterey Harris yeah I failed mine by 2 points I was literally right there! Thanks for the encouragement

Elise Thomas oh that stinks! You can do this. I know it’s incredibly frustrating, but if you get that far I think you can do a lot better the next time you take it.

Ahh I’m so glad to hear this video brought you motivation!!! You can do it girl, don’t give up!!

I failed the first time too, but just do a little more studying and you’ll get it right the second time around. You got this!!❤️

Yes absolutely!!

Ya it's pretty intense! 😅

Many high schools even have a 94-100 A etc, grading scale.

Wow! My grading scale is different too. The lowest C we can get is 80%. 80 or higher to pass! 93+ to get an A.

We need a straight B or higher to pass which is 86%

You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Congratulations on being almost finished!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :) So actually my program doesn't allow us to work more than 15 hours a week (part time) due to how much time and effort the program demands. So I don't have much insight to offer on that, i'm sorry!

Aww yay! That makes me so happy :) I hope it helped!

I’m proud of you for not letting that stop you!! Its really inspiring that you’re continuing nursing and starting over this fall, good for you! 🎉 wishing you nothing but the best moving forward!!

Wow thank you!! I’m glad you found this helpful, factual, and thank you for the support ☺️💕

Congratulations on getting ready to apply for nursing school! Don't feel dumb! You can get through it and practicing/performing assessments on real people should help remind you the important pieces of A&P. Don't let your fear discourage you - you can do this!!

Abby & Connor Thank you so much! I’m applying this Wednesday and I’m so excited!

Thank you for watching and subscribing :) I'm glad you enjoyed it and I'm so excited you're sticking around!

Congrats on starting your 3rd year, you're getting so close!! Ya I think grading scales tend to vary a lot from school to school. Thats nice your clinical days are 8 hours!

You're welcome!!

Thank you! Haha well I’m glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching ☺️💛

Caroline Mori lmao, because medical assisting is a cakewalk compared to nursing! I mean you can complete it during high school and you can’t start nursing school until after you’ve had two years of college.

It definitely can feel overwhelming! Thank you, God bless you too :)

Try not to worry! You can do this 😊

I think that’s a great option! Obviously it’s your decision, there’s pros and cons to everything, and you have to do what’s best for you but I personally think it’s a great idea. It will save you money on prerequisite courses for sure! One thing to consider - some universities will accept you right into the nursing program if you agree to start at their school as a freshman, and do prerequisites with them. Then you don’t even have to apply to the program you’re already in! So if a school is offering you that I’d take it, nursing programs are so competitive to get into that that could be really helpful ☺️ otherwise I think doing prerequisites at a community college is a great option!

yes YES YES!! I just graduated from high school in June with all my prenursing classes done and I’m starting a nursing program this winter!! It’s so worth it and you’ll save literally thousands of dollars! Also if you’re applying to a BSN program, use your age/getting things done early to your advantage in your transfer essays :)

I completely agree! Rules are rules even if they feel strict sometimes. Good luck to you too!! 🙂

Woo hoo! Thanks for your support! :)

Ahh thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful!

@@Abigaellanai Yeah im in nursing school right now and everything you mention in the video is exactly right. Im sure it will help alot of people. 👍

Nursingstudent805 thank you!! I’m glad to know someone who is in nursing school agrees ☺️ best of luck in your program!!

That sounds like a little extreme. We must always do our best to make time for them, we never know when it will be the last day we get the chance to be with them

M Vp I know :( I live 2 hours away and it’s just hard to see them as much as I want to 😪 I can only go home during the breaks

@@clarene2121 yes it's understandable 🤗 you can go once a week then if that works for you, I just thought I'd remind of the blessing it is ❤️ im glad you know 😊 thank you for not taking it in the bad way

Face time

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching ☺️

Try not to stress! You'll get the hang of it over time, and if you're struggling theres a bunch of resources with practice questions online to help you get used to the way they're worded/what they're asking :) If I can help at all let me know! Best of luck :)

I HIGHLY recommend the Saunders NCLEX book! The key to being able to answer NCLEX style questions is to PRACTICE them over & over & also know your core content. If you really know & understand the content you can answer any question. Memorization won't really cut it in nursing school! You have to be able to apply your knowledge and critically think. It is 100% doable!! Good luck.

I also highly recommend MARK KLIMEK review..He is awesome...Along with REMAR review

Relax, dude

Hey girl! Ahhhh congratulations about your NICU position that’s amazing! 😍 so long story short - senior year of high school I was torn between teaching and nursing. I went with teaching, got into the courses and hated it and immediately knew I needed to change to nursing. And I’ve loved it since then! I’ve always been good at science and loved healthcare so I’d say that’s a piece of it. Also, I am thinking NICU! I wasn’t at the beginning of my program but now I can’t imagine being anywhere but with babies + Peds 😍 I’m also a preemie so it feels really special to me to be able to give back to a community that is a huge piece in why I’m alive today ☺️

Are you still in the NICU?

15😭😂

I highly recommend the NRSNG app! ☺️

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) You can definitely keep working out in nursing school you'll just have to stay committed and manage your time well!

Thank you! :)

Thank you!

Ya every program is a little different!

Hi Kayla, I’m not a mom so I can’t answer this as well as a mom could but there are ladies in my cohort that her moms and I think it just comes down to balance for them. Sometimes they have to sacrifice time with their kiddos, and other times they don’t! One Mama in my class tends to push her homework/studying off until her kids have gone to bed and then she’s a night owl! So i think it just comes down to managing your time and finding where you can fit studying and kiddo time in here and there.

Absolutely you can!! You might have to learn to push outside of your comfort zone a little but you can definitely do it! Work hard and don’t let anything stop you 💛

You totally can! Remember that there are MANY different types of nurses and jobs. Maybe you would like something that it more one on one like home care, or something.

Absolutely! Everyone has a different role in nursing, there are so many avenues you can go down, even jobs that aren’t in hospitals as a nurse! Medical equipment sales, forensic nursing, nursing law, school nurses! There’s a bunch of options ☺️

Abigail m definitely!!!💙

Oh interesting! I hadn’t heard of that, thanks for sharing.

Congratulations, thats amazing!!

Oh shoot! Ya nursing school exams are all scenario based. I’m glad you found the right fit for you though ☺️

Hahaha but later I might go back for nursing tho. MA makes 18. Can't live the America dream if gotta live kinda cheap. Anyway thank you for replying lol have a blessed year🙏🙏🙏

Hi there! Always send your comments, it’s never too late for me to possibly see them ☺️. That’s a hard question for me to answer as I don’t know you personally or how hypochondria effects you. I think if you feel it’s something you can manage that wouldn’t impact the way you provide care for patients, then you could be a great nurse! But that’s a decision you’ll have to think on for yourself and decide what works best for you ☺️

@@Abigaellanai you're right , thank you so so much !! 🙏🙌

Wow thats tough! My high school was a bit more lenient (90%=A, etc.) but if you're already used to that grading system thats awesome!

Wow I’m so sorry to hear that! It sounds like a pretty intense program if 1/3 didn’t finish.

They truly don’t care about their students, I thought the students who failed out and told me not to do it, were just bitter or didn’t try their hardest.......

Madi Barlow what school did you go to?

Congratulations!!

I’m from Colorado!

Whatttttt???!! So nobody should get kicked out or be struggling 😯😯😯😯

I don't think I ever said that?

John what school is this?

Oh wow thats difficult!

I think I’m confused about what you’re referencing to. Could you explain?

I believe I was replying to a video before yours and yours automatically played...but I'm watching it now. Great advice. Anyway, I was replying to the previous nurse student video...she said that there one would have no time for close ties, friends, or family....not sure how my comment ended up under your video, but Im glad It did. Thanks.

How exciting, congratulations!!

That’s just the grade scale that came up when I googled “grade scale”. I should’ve paid more attention and researched the most commonly used grading scale but that was the first one I saw! It was strictly for reference that an 80% is much higher than “passing” in a non-nursing program. Hope that helps clarify! ☺️

What do you mean?

I’m sorry you weren’t able to hear!! Next time I’ll try to make sure the music is softer ☺️

mslittlekris05 ummmm the music is not loud at all lol

I’m sure you’ll do great! Try to hang in there and stay positive ☺️

I'm going to apply to my nursing program for the spring 2020 semester. I'm excited but also extremely nervous

@@A_J100 its definitely something to be nervous about! I'm excited to start but terrified!

Best of luck!! I totally get being nervous, we’ve all been there and felt that way! Just be ready to work hard and remember how worth it it’ll be in the end ☺️

Woo hoo! So excited you're here :)

The Coffee Nut there are schools you don’t have to do pre-reqs. Like mine, my program is 20 months, I start clinicals my second semester. I graduate next December and take the NCLEX, then I go back for 3 semesters for my BSN. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@amandamack9897 I wish nothing but the best. Unfortunately here in CA there are so many requirements and hoops.

I’m sorry to hear you had a hard time! Unfortunately nursing school does come with a lot of tests. I hope you find what you’re looking for somewhere else 😊

@@Abigaellanai I became an electrician. Pay is good and there is little to no stress on the job. I think I would have been a lousy nurse since I'm a bit of a joker.

Amanda Mack what is the name of your school?

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) wow thats a busy schedule! Hang in there :)
