That is the way to do it for sure!

Pls what’s your email? I also attend chamberlain, I have questions pls

H

How was studying at Chamberlain college for nursing school?

Is Chamberlin university accredited?

With such shortages it, is crazy that there is such a waiting list to get into nursing school. I do like the idea of nurses being CNAs first, this way they can really get a perscpective and be more respectful of their peers. There could be a shortage for CNAs because they are underpaid, and the expectations of them are high. That is good that you were and LPN and now have your RN.

Capella- the New University of Phoenix lol

Never heard of it, did you go to this school?

@@DabidRobinson yes. It’s true

I do agree with you, that community college is the best choice, but it will take longer to get a degree.

@@DabidRobinson Not necessarily. Depends upon where you start, one can get a ADN and follow with a BSN in a program that guarantees a seat in a local UNI for a BSN.

It depends. The community college here has an outline for FT VS PT & FULL time is 15 months accelerated for a BSN here. So it really just depends.

@@juletaurus but how often do you find unis that guarantee a seat?most nursing schools have low acceptance rate. do you know of any with higher acceptance rates? if so pls share.

I don’t understand why you say that, you still need to attend an university for 3 year and pay for that program… avoid community colleges if you can, it will take you 2 more years if you are lucky…

3 years is quite a while for the BSN. That is nice that you were able to get your associates in only 18 months.

Yes. Only 18mths for ADN. I think the 3yrs is one year of prereqs and two years nursing classes.

@@TheNursesVlog What school?

Thanks :)

Thanks for sharing!

You have to complete prerequisites prior to joining a nursing program. You can usually find the prerequisites required at the college you wish to attend on their website or by calling their nursing-admission staff. For the second part, I’d ask your counselor and do research on your own time.

It's really a lottery!

I'm thinking of doing this too

You should look into colleges, or even a community college that does offer an RN or BSN. Otherwise, find out a college that does offer it and see what their pre reqs are and then take those pre reqs at the college you are looking into.

I also looked into PMI when i first started looking into nursing schools but they quoted me so much money, it was ridiculous. Unfortunately, for those programs, this is how you are able to skip the waiting list. It does come with a cost...

That is something i have not really given much thought of. That is true, so you are skipping the waiting list and paying less.

Were you taking the asn/bsn during that time?

Which college was that? I am in the same boat and not seeing nursing programs in Globe in online searches. Thank you.

@@brookeeyherabide2667 No waitlist for eastern Arizona college. It’s in globe county.

That is true... I want to start at 40 in Arizona lol

Hey! I'm in CA, too. I'm thinking of going out of state to Nevada since I love so close and applying to Roseman University. Just might have to work in Nevada for a year or so to get back into CA. They have ABSN program but you don't have to have a whole bachelor's degree, just a lot of credits.

I’m in privatE lvn it’s costing me $29k here in Costa Mesa 😭 but I got to start right away no entrance exam. I’ll bridge my lvn to RN 30 unit option it’s the cheapest and I have a bachelors already or might do it in AZ if I can transfer back to Cali not sure tho

@@hellokittydimaggio if you bridge for 30 unit option, won't you be stuck in AZ only and unable to use that for a bachelor's??

I’m unsure about the Banners but I know At least Mercy Gilbert and Chandler regional are partnered.

Thank you, would those hospital you mentioned be the ones that are partnered with chandler - Gilbert community college? Do you know of any hospitals partnered with Scottsdale or gateway community college by chance?

You definitely want to make sure whatever you choose is accredited, and if it is not, then don't do it

Hi I am going to be doing a MA program in the Fall. I looked up a lot of info on this and everyone says don't do the degree program, it's longer and it doesn't change your pay. Employer's are only interested if you went to an accredited program and got a certification AAMA/CMA or AMT/RMA some employer's except the NHA, NCCT, or the AMCA or no certification just proof of completion from an accredited MA program. Doing the MA program at a Community College is much cheaper than a trade school/private school but the program is longer and you might have to complete a few prerequisite classes first like I had to. You can always reach out to the head of the nursing department at the school you're interested in to find out if the MA program is accredited and see what exam you would be eligible to take once you complete the program in order to get certified. You can then reach out to that organization they tell you by email to confirm if that school is infact accredited with them. That's what I did. With Community Colleges though you don't really have to worry about that. With some of the trade schools/private schools however I believe you have to watch out for and really make sure that they are accredited. Best of luck to you.

In Arizona, an LPN position in a hospital is not very common but it is very common in nursing homes. Make job opportunities there for sure

I wish I did... but I am not all that familiar with what that process entails.

Hello Dany, did you get in eventually. I am currently looking forward an admission into a nursing school as an international student.

Oh my god I was thinking about signing up to Carrington too! Either that or Unitek

@@Auxiliariebb carrington is better according to some of my peers that went to unitek. They are not organized. Carrington is highly competitive tho. We have to have A's and B's.

What is Carrington

Sorry for the late reply... I don't believe you can go from a LVN to BSN. Although you could do an LVN/LPN transition to RN and then join a duel enrollment, where you can also get your BSN.

@@DabidRobinson I checked called some schools, there is definitely about 15 programs from San Diego to the Bay that are LVN>BSN, wish me luck. Thank you for the video very informative

Honestly, i am not 100% but having a couple of friends who do injections... I believe you minimally need an RN in order to do so. Even those RN's who do it, need to work under at least a nurse practitioner.

Do you live in Arizona? Or are you moving to Arizona?

Thank you! I live in Gilbert

Hello, I follow a nurse aesthetician on instagram and she is allowed to do botox/fillers after working under supervision of dermatologists and plastic surgeons. So you can!

I honestly do not think that world apply towards your NP. The route of nursing is very straight forward. In order to work as a nurse, you must get your ADN. Then you can’t get a BSN or NP without it

@@DabidRobinson thank you very much i actually meant an RN because after the Masters program I'll sit for the NCLEX exam,although I'm beginning to see more reason to do an Accelerated BSN instead of that .

Very nice!!!!

Girllll!!! Where do you live? I’m taking the same route. Just started my LVN program.

@@jessicamorga1283 CA! Currently living in LA but i'll be moving in the bay area this year! How's the LVN program??

@@mikaellaumali3750 hey girly, I live in California too and want to just get into the nursing program already but it’s been tough especially with where I live. Thinking of moving to some close to the Bay Area like Sacramento, where there’re schools

That seems unusual unless it’s an accelerated program or the person has already done pre-reqs. If it’s true then I can’t imagine the tuition will be extremely high. Be careful with some of these private nursing schools because a lot of them end up being forced to shut down. If they are saying a lot of classes are being held online then that’s possible because of Covid but of course clinicals need hands on practice so they can’t be done online.

@@itsmimi3154 thanks a lot ... myself my chi is not agreeing to it as well I will just go to Amg Nd do lpn program over there

@@kaddytouray681 yes, do not put yourself into debt for a nursing degree or any degree. Most 2 year associate RN programs are under $10k at community colleges. I don’t advise anyone to spend upwards of $50k or more on a nursing degree. A lot of these private schools are predatory and some aren’t even accredited. Nobody should ever pay a quarter or more of the cost of med school on a nursing degree. It doesn’t make financial sense to be that much in debt for a degree that pays new nurses $24-$27/hr on average. I’ve witnessed way too many new nurses spinning their wheels, living beyond their means and hating their jobs all because they got too far into debt while in nursing school and after nursing school (buying a home, new car, luxuries etc) I highly recommend a community college and if you can’t go that route at least make sure the school is accredited, has a high NCLEX pass rate, and the tuition is affordable.

Its ok, theres a lot of school doing that now. Just make sure it’s accredited

My sister was trying to get into ultrasound and that was also a point system.

David Robinson I’m in the ADN program for 18 mos. After that I’ll have the option of RN to BSN. I gotta say I love my local college.

Estrella is a community college right? I went to Chandler Gilbert and they also had a ADN and BSN program but I did not know that back then. The people in my class that did that still had to wait on the waiting list... Unless Estrella offers a more private/exclusive where you get into it right away. I would look at the price that each program, because some times these programs want to charge 50-60k which I personally think is wayyyyyy too much because nursing pays good but... that will be a hefty price to pay off..

Yes it’s a community college. There is no waiting list it’s just competitive. I’m scared but I feel like I can do it if I just get A’s and B’s lol.

I say go for it!!! I remember before I got into nursing I was not that focused so my grades were not all that great lol

Okay thank you!! I’m glad😭also one last questions was the NCLEX or Hesi exam really hard? Like did you study a lot for them?

I school I always found the Hesi to be rather hard but I never knew how to study for those lol. The NCLEX was actually not as hard as I thought. Prior to the NCLEX I did hundreds of nclex questions and read their rationals. I used the NCLEX mastery app. That is the only thing I did to study for the test lol

As for LPN, they do not usually work in the hospitals... But if you are okay with nursing facilities then there are plenty of opportunities. Also if you want to go back for your RN later on, then you can.

2-3 years. It would of been less if I was more organized lol

@@DabidRobinson and then you get to start the actual nursing school?

@@sweetestvein4805 yes that’s how it usually works

@@konchogxo that’s a couple years though. What if I die before then 😭

@@sweetestvein4805 lol don’t worry we’ll die together then. I’m 18 and this nursing thing is getting me ready for retirement already.

Western Governors is a university a couple of my coworkers have used. They have a program where you can work on school work at your own speed.

Thank you

You may have to work at honor health for a certain amount of months? Before they will submit your information to get you on the list. I suppose you could quit honor health shortly after joining, just don’t tell them your intentions on interview. Honor health probably has spots reserved, so you shouldn’t be pushed back any farther but those who get in through honor health will get in much faster than you will.

That is crazy, it really can get competitive…. The process to become a nurse is a lengthy one for sure!

i feel you!! I got reject from all the cc's despite having a 3.9 gpa. I even got rejected from ucla's program. I am trying again for spring 2022 so here's to hoping i get into one!! i hope you get in too (:

Technically you could do an all inclusive program at a university. Depends on what you are willing to take on financially

It really depends on the school. So my school put us on a waiting list, some people waiting 2-3 years. Some schools go off of points, so if you have more classes or tasks under you belt then you have a better chance of getting in over other people and then some schools are so expensive that if you pay then... you'll get in quickly. So i would research the school you are lookin into.

Depends on which school you go to

Classes that you need to take before you can be elegible to apply to a program

Hello Sylvia, I had the same question, did anyone give you answers

Which school is this please

There are schools that bridge your bachelors and can do an accelerated nursing program and be a nurse much faster. You should look into that.

@@chevyevol2882 you should look into it as well. (My above comment 😊)

Here in cali, go to Samuel Merritt, accelerated bsn only a year, i think. You can research it. But that school is expensive but my friend graduated there , she said its a good school.

Yay congrats!

this is so great to hear, what community college and if you could expand on this further

I’m starting the process with them now... My friend goes there now and she hasn’t said anything negative Just that it’s HARD lol

i mean it’s an accredited school so i don’t see why it’d be a scam

@@perfectlyimperfect4508 that’s so awesome ! So am I ! But I’m not going until fall. What state are you in ? I am in Las Vegas and they have mixed reviews. But so does the chamberlain campus out here too 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@burnt.norton thank you Samuel ❤️

I meant hospitals partnered with community colleges?

I am not familiar with California. Sorry my friend!

From my experience… I would say being a CNA in a hospital is much better

My mom is gonna kill me when she find out i have to wait years to get on it.

Every school is different! Not all schools you have to wait years to get in. Reach out to an advisor at the school that you want to go to and see what their pre reqs are!! Don’t loose hope!!

I had no idea some community colleges made their students wait. That's horrible. I completed all my prerequisite courses, sat for my TEAS, and 3-months later I started my core nursing classes. I was all done 2 years later with my ADN, & now I am pursuing my BSN. I hope this goes smoothly, *and quickly for you.

@@nyla2408 hi nyla, where are you going to nursing school?

I like that idea! I will for sure thanks

Honestly, I do not...

I went to Annenberg School of nursing for LPN which required no pre-reqs, if you're in Los Angeles! It is a private program so it costs more but not compared to most private programs.

@@mayalynne1599 thank you 🙏🏽

Lil D does not know anything unfortunately.

Thanks for watching, and did you hit the like button? United States, in Arizona :)

I honestly do not know.

I like that haha. Theater sounds a lot more fun than nursing

I agree lol it is stupid. Universities are crazyyyy expensive and to be honest. The school you go to, does not matter to anyone. Majority of nurses I know, went to community college.

No

That may not cover all of the pre reqs that a nursing program would need... An advisor at the school you are looking into, would be able to tell you if you are missing classes.

Hey babe, have you found an answer ? I am in the same situation and I don´t want an Associate Degree, you can´t work everywhere with this. Bachelor is much better

@@roxanashb2198 i changed my mind. nursing aint for me haha

@@fauzianezam246 I understand, any ideas about what to do next ? fingers crossed and God bless

💀💀💀

Some people got to work while they get the credits... While I get the title of the video is important for people with means in a rush, some people are just trying to speed up the process with what they have to work with. Now im not personally going for nursing degree, Im sponsoring someone who is. Free room and board etc. but University isnt an option at this point and she is working in the field as a certified CNA which in the end at her pace is a slam dunk for nursing school as her GPA sits comfortably above 3.5. When shes done she will have no debt. So I get what you are saying, but some folks want to come out the other side with no debt. :) I manage rock stars, not put people into debt. :)

lol numb nuts

I agree 100%!
