Nobody should ever knock vocational training. If you are smart with how you market your skills and training the sky really is the limit. I know a truck driver who spent $3,000 for 8 weeks of schooling and walked out day one with 80K/yr job as a STARTER job. I know an HVAC tech who spent 6 thousand on training 25 years ago and retired last year at 53 years old who is worth 5 million and now living at the beach. What you don't want to do is go 140K in debt at 23% interest for a $22,000/yr job

Yes, yes, yes being an LPN is worth it. I was an LPN for 8 years. The knowledge I got took me through RN school. I am now in nurse practioner school, and I am still using the knowledge I got in LPN school. It is worth it.

Lol I love your vidoes!! You are so funny!! My bff is a Lpn and she is a NURSE.. I hate when I hear pple say that a CNA and Lpn are the same..i am a CNA and I don't do no where near as much as I lpn.. but on 5/07/20 I will graduate from RN school!!

My foundation was being an LPN and that was the best experience! Was an LPN for 8 years. Now I'm an RN and being an LPN while in RN school made clinicals a breeze!

Shid that like 27 bucks and hour. Sign me up bae 💪🏽 Starting LPN program 2020 summer and plan to bridge over from there. Thanks alot for your videos and how human you are.

To make 20 plus dollar's a hour for a vocational ptogram is very good.People with 4 year degree's start out making less alot of the time.If you can handle nursing..best believe there is money to be made.You can also pick up and go to another city and work

Love this! I’m a CNA but girl you encouraged me to keep going!

Lpn is a nurse I've been a lpn for thirteen years and I also make a lot of money, people will put down anything.

Congratulations, girl!!! I am a CNA, going to school for my BSN. Will graduate in December 2018. I can tell you that it pays to try other things!!!

Some of you are right. Some LPN'S do make more then RN's, depending on experience. This is why some LPN'S do not want to go back to school to obtain their RN.I'm speaking for myself.And by the way, there is not much difference between an LPN, and an RN.

$21 per hour is decent...girl I'm making $9/hr (shame) as a CNA... Thanks so much for the insight!

Loved this! Motivated me so much! I’m 23 years old and a mother of one currently in school to get my LPN license. My goal after a couple years is to become an RN as well. ❤️

Speak Bevvvvv! I done had co-workers and school advisors tell me “do RN, LPN is a CNA” whatever 🙄 I want ALL THE TITLES UNDER MY BELT!!!

I really enjoyed your video ☺ I have 5 wks until finals & in school for my LPN. Thank you for shining your light on LPNs. We're still nurses and can do very big things with our LPN license. Congrats to you for sticking it through and finishing. Its not easy but so worth it. Can't wait to hear from u again ❤

Loved this! I just finished my CNA program last month🙌🏾start my new job this week! Thinking about starting LPN school this fall!

Love this. Single mom here that have been a CNA for way to long and need to take a step up

Thank You For This Video I Just Took My HESI EXAM Today For LPN And Passed. I'm So Ready Its A Step Up From CNA. Keep Going RN You Got It 😘😘😘

Florida in the house ! Ayyeeee !!! Im currently a CNA & Thinking about going back to school to become a LPN. I know it'll be a challenge but I know i'll get threw it. #YouGoGirl

You just motivated more. I love your personality keep it up and keep us all posted.

Great video, great attitude. I'm looking into taking the LPN program next year. LPN is NOT a waste of time. Granted, yes you should go for your RN if you're going to pursue nursing, but by doing LPN first, you're building a foundation, you'll go into your RN with some experience, and you can see if it's a good career fit for you, before investing more money and years into the education for it. Also, for people who live in poverty making $8-$12/hr, hell yeah 20+/hr is awesome.

Thank you so much for this video. Lord knows I need reassurance. I'm hoping to go to school to be a LPN. I've also been a CNA since 2010

Loved your video. Love your personality. I am a CNA thinking of going for my LVN.

Thanks for setting time aside from your studies to make this video, lovely!

Hey girlie!!! Im so happy I found your channel .You`re very inspirational...I`ve been a CNA for a year and a half and Im ready to go back to school

Thank you so much for the encouragement, please keep the videos coming.

Thank you girl I needed to hear it I'm a single mom lpn and trying to go back to school for my RN

i just needed to say thank u sis i have 8 kids and am starting my process and your attitude and positive vibes made a difference keep us up dated😍

Seems like people who start out as LPN are smarter than people who go straight to RN. It helps a lot in your journey as far as knowledge. Also its better to have an LPN license while you in RN because you can make more money.

Thank you so much for this video it was very encouraging. I pray that have great success becoming an RN.

I luv how down to earth u are!!! Plz dont change that authenticity. #BlackGirlMagic

I just found your channel, I like your personality. Can’t wait to see how you act once you pass your RN program lol. Keep pushing! New Subscriber

Thank you so much I was contemplating LPN as a single mom and I don't have any support system knowing that I might waste my time and money cause pple are saying it's a waste of time. Listening to you make me jamming up right now to go do this. Thanks alot You have yourself a new subscriber!!!! Thanks again

Thank you for your video! I love this video and you have encouraged me to continue on the path of LPN!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! for this video! I just finished getting my HS diploma with Penn Foster because I was not fortunate enough to finish school the traditional way but I did it! this gave me life this video I have been a STNA for years I actually got out the field for awhile because I feel they don't treat nurse aides well they don't get paid well at least not here in Cleveland ohio! so I said you know what its time for a change! And I love the fact of you saying taking baby steps because almost every female I know who wants to be a nurse goes straight to the RN course. To me being a STNA then a LPN and then RN is the best route because just like you said even with that LPN on your name you will still always have a job, always have income and just like you I have three children as well. I have an 11 year old girl, 7 year old son and 10 month old son! I am very blessed and I just turned 30 so im very excited to continue my healthcare career and also utilizing this good ole grant money I was just awarded!

I watched your video over a year ago still in LPN school...now I'm an LPN! 💖💖💖ThNk you lovely

Felt like my soul left my body when I seen I passed my nclex..I feel yooou

That really helped, because I’m looking forward of becoming an LPN

I Love this. You are so real, straight up, hardworking and honest. 💘

You betta roll out this resume!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

DO IT FOR THE CULTURE 😂😂🙌🏿 IM A NEW GRAD FOUND A JOB AS SOON AS I WALKED IN IM A PROUD #LPN GOING BACK TO SCHOOL IN THE FALL FOR MY RN THO

Friend you betta break down these numbers!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Girl you be having me crack up so bad with ya colorful self. I love it. Had to subscribe. Keep up the good work. Waiting on my acceptance/rejection letter for the LPN Program. So watching your videos are giving me life.

love your energy!! 💗 this video was very helpful for me thank you!

You make me laugh.. i love your positivity and just the way you deliver eveything from start to finish, it's making me more encouraged to go for an LPN program first before I go straight to RN. :) keep ur vids coming.

I'm so glad I found this channel please keep them coming, you are a great motivator, I'm empty nesting at this time and I was thinking about going back the seed was planted years ago. I just need to nurture it and watch it grow.

I can't wait untill I start my LVN in April thank you for sharing this inspration video

Thank you for this video!

I love this channel. " Do what works for you boo"

Congrats! You're a hard working mother being of service to others!!!!

Very helpful video! Thank you for taking the time to make it. 💜

Single mom of 2 here going to school for LPN in the fall in Canada and your video is Awesome!! Thanks for the support!

I love your energy. You are very inspiring!

This is the first video I've seen on your channel and I HAD to comment to and tell you how impressed I am by you! My mother (no longer with us sadly) would have LOVED you as well! Any woman, let alone a woman of color, who can work, get an education AND raise a family is someone I'd be proud to give a giant hug to and I hope life blesses you with success in all you do :-) Don't let mean RN's or MD's keep you down because you're awesome and using your life choices to care for others (sick others, often the least of us!) and it takes your kindness and patience but also physical strength. You just seem so balanced and together and as a woman whose career plans were cut short by mental illness I admire your strength and it helps me to see that you can succeed in this world. Thank you so much for sharing this glimpse of your life with us!

Loved this !!! This motivated me 10xs more to go ahead and get back in school for my baby !

You are soooo right!! To each's own! I'm in Wisconsin and they pay LPN's decent. My nephew started at $26 right outta school almost 3 yrs ago as an LPN, he is now at $30, FT hrs plus OT as an LPN! I start Jan for LPN and no I'm not stopping there! I always can appreciate views and opinions, but sometimes it can discourage others. It's all about God's timing. What's for you is for you and vice versa! This video made much sense tho..thank you, God bless love..do you and let God!!!

Love this video. I’ve been a cna since 2014 and in college working on my aa degree so I can get into the rn program. This February (2018) I applied to the lpn at Fscj (Jacksonville fla) and I got accepted into the summer start term. I start June 14th and I’m super nervous but hopeful. I applied to this program to see if I can get through a nursing program plus I know I will learn a ton and I can make more money once I’m licensed. Congrats on passing your pn-Nclex I hope I’m as successful as you. I have 4 children (1 is a foster baby) and a ton of support from my mother and boyfriend. I’m not a single mom like I was in 2010 thankfully but it’s been my dream since I was 15 (now 28) to become a nurse. Thank you for sharing this video.

Christen you are speaking Life into me and other people who need to hear this message.

I was telling my mom that before Rn school I wanted to get my LPN license 18+ dollar and hour while I’m in nursing school working as a nurse. Thank you for the video. It was very helpful

You have inspired me again I’m gonna enroll for sure! #singlemotherof2 You rock Chile🤗

You got a like and I subscribed. I just applied to college after 3 years of running my own business. It’s been good but not as good as the job Security and training you’ve already received. You will always have a job in any economy and under any presidential administration!!! You should be very proud that you are taking care of you and yours and not looking for a handout. You go girl. Future nurse right here.

Girl you did that!!!! Good for you I’m 6. I tha away from. Graduating my LPN! Good for you your the reason for a lot of us

Yass honey love you personally and humor new subscriber here! Thanks for keeping it all the way real

I'm starting an LPN program in September 2018 and this video was so refreshing to watch. Thank you for reminding me that this career path is what I want to do then eventually become an RN :)

Love it how real this was !!!!!!! Thank you !!

Goirl dont stop until you get your BSN!! #BigUp to yah!

I just passed my entrance test to My LPN program, this video just made me feel like I’m definitely going down the right path by leaving college & doing this.

LOVE YOUR SPIRIT! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS AND THANK YOU KINDLY FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS! ♥️♥️♥️

I'm so glad I found your channel! I felt like you were speaking directly to me. I want to my lpn!

Great video ! Congrats sis!

I love your honesty, and real ness

Thank you so much for this for this inspirational video. I listened to others instead of following my dream. Now I'm listening to you lol!!

I looove this video!!!! You are so right about at least starting with can and going upward like you just really made me wanna get my lpn!! Thank you thank you 😘😘😘

You're a bright young lady. Glad you got your license. Living your best life!!

I applaud all the single mothers for not giving up... not only on the kids but on yourselves....many blessings to all.

Loveeeee this video. You’re so relatable. Most of the videos I’ve watched I’m like blah ok but yours I feel like we friends 😂😂 especially wit that Kodak black reference 😌 I graduate wit my LPN summer 2019 after taking a break to have my third child. So glad I watched this to get me back motivated to start back.

I love your video🤗🤗 your story is so inspirational. I have MA, Phlebotomy, Cna and i am currently in school for MLT. I love working in the medical field and there is nothing wrong wanting to advance in life, just follow your passion...

Rite after you said you had a good support system, I liked your video! Facts are important!!!

Legit subscribed just because she said Tallahassee. Gotta support the hometown ✊🏽. Keep pushing .. much love ❤️

This woman was the one person who made me decide to go for my LPN. Tomorrow I'm going to St Petersburg College to apply and all that. Hopefully I'll be starting in January!

VERY helpful , and you're funny. I LOVE IT .

Very helpful!! I want to be a cna then patient care tech. Hopefully Lpn after that. If all goes well a bsn. Baby steps. Thanks for sharing your income. Not many people share that info.

Love your honesty and personality!! Definitely subscribed..I’m about to get my CNA license in a couple of weeks and I was so fixed on going straight for RN but your girl is struggling so going for an LPN first may be what’s best for me too!

In the area I live in they make around 30-40 an hour 🤑. In California.

loving the confidence :)

I GOTZ U !! I will be an LPN in June 20 at Grad Day. Then off to take State Test.... Your man Jimz in NY

Thank you for the vid, this is helping me with my decisions. Honestly, $21 is pretty damn decent. I'm currently working as a dietary aide in a nursing home, making $11/hr. So it's a huge step up, honestly. Plus it's a good way to get my foot in the door, and if I do this and really decide I like nursing, I know of some LPN-RN bridge programs in my area. I just don't want to jump straight to getting my ADN or BSN without getting my feet wet first.

You have such a great personality, love your videos 😄

You're an inspiration 💕🙌

Your videos motivate and encourage me... I start lpn program 2ma along with working atleast 40 hours a week and providing for my 5 boy's i have been a cna for 20 years and ive procrastinated but im ready with a plan and knowing failure is Not an option. Im about a take a road less traveled and expecting hard Hard times. My Journey starts in the am.

Congratulations my dear for taking that step forward, we need more black women working hard to grow themselves. I am proud of you and you did that with two kids? girl, you are a strong woman. Let me tell you please don't stop there take it to the RN level. don't worry you will still make it through. keep it Up. I am new to the states and I am taking a CNA training now. If you have the way never take a student loan you will leave a free life. keep up girl. Luv Ya

I needed this. Thank you.

So proud of. You thanks for the encouragement I drop out of highschool and I set my classes back up on aug 26 it’s going to take me three months to graduate and then I plan on going to school to be a Lpn thanks so much for the encouragement and I work part time at Denny’s so I be able to manage my schedule to focus on school

Lpn is so worth it my sister got her bachelors degree in health services administration 4yrs studying and makes $20 an hr I took my lpn in 14 months and I’m making $21.50 anyone who think lpn is not worth it is clueless.

Honestly this video really encouraged me. I received my CNA license in 2014 at Atlanta Job Corps and I had no experience whatsoever in the medical field. when I got my first job working as a CNA, I struggled my first couple weeks but after getting the hang of it.. I became a lot of the nurses favorite assistant. my CNA license has expired since and I've gone through a few different career fields but the pay wasn't good. now I'm expecting my first child in January & I am looking forward to starting this certification program to become an LPN. Working as a CNA was hard work and I just wanted higher pay.. to know that this will at least pay you more than what a lot of other fields will, especially without having a degree its a blessing. thank you so much for the video!

Thank you! I needed this

Thank you so much for you clarity. There’s so much negative to LPN’s. But your right, when your a single mother there’s nothing wrong with baby steps to At least be able to provide a roof over our babies head. Thank You again so much

Thanks sister am almost done my program, February i graduate it is totally worth it. I can’t wait

I cant thank you enough for this video thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fuck! My LPN program is $25,000. I’m about to come down there. I’m halfway done. My out of pocket portion alone was $13,000. You are so lucky. Philly is expensive for no reason....

girl i’m from ft myers too! this makes me feel so much better about starting in august
