I’m a social work student and we literally have the same problems. Like unrealistic expectations, hard exams, and being graded extremely hard in seminars.

I think nursing school is meant to instill discipline. I completely understand why. If you can make it through nursing school then you have shown your ability to be a competent nurse.

SOOO true in nursing school they made it out like we as nurses had to know everything when it came to taking care of the patient or catching critical things when in real life the whole team is there for you and your never alone! but at the same time school made it seem more clinical but as you said at bedside I feel like a servant!

Thank you for your videos! Nursing school is really hard, the expectations are so high, and some professors make it nearly impossible. You’re video gave me hope to keep going !

Hi! I’ve been watching your videos since I started nursing school. I am currently in my last semester and I’m super excited and nervous at the same time. Thanks for always being positive just know you are making an impact! ☺️

I completely relate to feeling like a “glamorized server” 😂 During one of my clinicals in nursing school I came to the realization that we are just “professional maids”. Still believe it now working in the ER because I am on my feet all day and basically answering all call lights, changing patients, meeting family requests, and just following orders. For this reason I am going to go back to school to become a provider.

Thank you so much for this video. I will graduate in 2023 and constantly worrying about the future. This was a breath of fresh air.

Thanks for sharing your story. My mom is a nurse in UK and she's the strongest person I know, I've never realized how much work and stress she goes through everyday, now I appreciate her even more

This was probably the best video I’ve listened to! At first I was applying for jobs and accepting contingent positions based on where my classmates were going because of the comfort and security but it was not the unit I was really interested in. I decided to accept something that fits my personality and the environment I really liked. Now I just need to pass the NCLEX😅

Thank you for this very realistic insight into nursing. 👏🏾👏🏾

This was so encouraging. Thank you!

girl. I went into nursing because I hateeddddd serving. so when you mentioned that nursing seems like a “glorified server” my heart broke, that’s far from what i want. I have one year left and everything I see on social media is negative(besides the influencers who glorify nursing). i chose nursing because I can become an RN in 2 years, stable income, comfortable life, flexibility, and so I don’t have to wait on tables anymore. it’s like I chose the wrong thing :( this is something I thought I wanted so bad and I can’t just quit and turn around. please tell me nursing is better than serving because having 8 tables at once every single day was the most stressful thing ever.

Thank you!! I am 55 yrs old and I have worked with some of the best nurses and doctors in the world, I have learned so much more doing that, then going to nursng school. Not that I don't appreciate the school and classes," the education." In my community there is not a fast track, hands on school that teaches world experience. In college they don't teach this. They don't teach the real experience, rather they teach you to fear the experience of it all. The most annoying thing they do is have "weed out" classes to help control the amount of students that actually get in to the nursing programs! really! with the shortage of nurses going on in the world! Rather than working together with surrounding communties that have colleges in their cities to accomadate and spread the potiential nursing students around , they decide to drop you from the get go! As if you are not good enough! So then you choose another profession instead of waiting another semester to try again! Just plain stupid, because some of us older people were fortunate to be able to work in a world that allowed us to be trained on the job and we worked as medical assistants and pharmacy techs as well as medics and we could stand on our own two feet and make decisions and follow orders. we had real worldly experience and great bedside manners and weren't afraid of hard work or long days. We didn't need college to teach us to give injections, do ekgs, take vitals, take histories, and work side by side a doctor and actually assist in procedures, give medications, make refills, draw blood, all of it can be safely taught and can be learned with assistance! and this was in a time that nothing was premeasured and computerized.Everything was done manually! It is so much easier now with all the premeasured doses and computers. A child can do it as long as they know how to run a computer and machines. The doctor makes all the decisions and a nurse takes the orders. Empathy and staying calm allows you to make common sense decisions as you work your patient load. And yes experience is the best when it comes to working, but the worst when it comes to school because it is not taught that way.

A girl in my clinical group had a small nose ring that was 100% covered by her face mask which she obviously kept on at all times in the clinical setting. We had our lunch break in a small room completely away from all patients or staff, and she pulled her mask down to eat. The instructor saw her nose ring and wrote her up. 😑

Just passed NCLEX and looking for my nursing job and honestly terrified of not remembering enough so it's nice to hear that things will click and stuff I was a CNA previously though for 10 years so I'm used to the call lights, poop, ect. I'm more worried about making sure I am being safe

Preeeach! Sis thank you!

I’ve been watching you since last year and now I just started my general education classes for nursing and I’m so excited but so nervous 😩

For some reason I had a feeling to check if you posted and now I can finally say #EarlyGang 😎. Time to watch the video nowwwwww

I’m in an accelerated nursing program and this is so true!!

After 6.5 years, I recently left bedside. Thankfully found a job that uses my RN license but not bedside. You definitely get burnt out. Your pay is no longer worth it. One time me and my coworkers were talking and we were reminiscing, “Remember in nursing school when you’d follow someone in clinical and they were so grumpy and you didn’t understand. You now understand. You are THAT nurse now.” Definitely learn and understand what all those nurses you followed were going through.

My husband has been a program we for about 8 years and his life&work balance with his pay is always getting me sooo jealous! I was thinking of learning medical coding last year and hope giving some nurses an idea of shifting a little bit but still in the specialty

Also which specialty are you in ? Great advice thank you

I’m almost done with nursing school and all of these frustrations are already starting for me. Where I live, nurses get payed between $14/$16. Some nurses that aren’t at hospitals are only making $8.50hr. It’s actually ridiculous seeing how much responsibility we have and we don’t get a fair salary. Each nurse has so many patients and hospitals don’t have enough supplies for us to do our job. It’s so depressing.

Random question..... How many medications for Pharm is there in the LVN program??.. I hoping to go to nursing school next month. I would like to start studying the medications before I start. Will you please make a video of the list..

❤️❤️❤️

Mag should be one on one

Where are you located at your not in California?

Thank you for this video

did you lose weight? it looks good

How many years did you do clinicals for in nursing school ? I start nursing school in a couple months I feel like I know nothing 😣 I'm going in to a two year programs and they are going to start us in clincals right aways which I am happy about because I have no experience lol 😅

Let's talk pharmacology I hate the damn formula and all white 😒 everything and test every damn week.

Talk about the racism and the lack of diversity in nursing school . Is terrible!

Nursing school these days is only to prepare you to take the NCLEX. You only go to school M - F day shift. Back in the day the students worked all shifts and weekends including leaning to be charge nurse as a senior student. We didn't have computer assisted devices and needed to know pharmacology, dosing and solutions. I recommend that you stop referring to your viewers as "you guys" and talk to people as mature adults. Stop whining and consider ways to contribute to make your job more satisfying.

your basically doing more than a doctor lol

Hello I advise you to contact Dr Luther if you are preparing for your nclex be it RN or PN. He is the reason I and my husband are very happy today working as Rns
