non-nurisng classes need to be taken seriously because they are amazing GPA boosters!!!!

Just an FYI to any high schoolers that have done badly on the ACT and want to go into nursing: that score doesn’t define you or your ability to become an amazing nurse!! I had a 4.0 in high school but a 19 ACT score (I have severe test anxiety hahah). I did very well in all my pre-nursing classes and my nursing school accepted me and granted me a scholarship only given to 3 incoming nursing school students. I just want to put this out there because I remember feeling as though I wasn’t good enough because of my ACT score; I hope those encourages anyone struggling with the same thoughts as well 💜💜

You said so many things in this video that really hit home, especially the part about not feeling like you're smart enough for nursing school. I entered a pre-nursing program at a university and had to change majors because I didn't do well enough in that program. Retaking the classes I did too poorly in wasn't a viable option because the school cost too much for me to not graduate in 4 years. A couple summers after graduating, I still hadn't really gotten anywhere with my degree, so I started going to my local community college for some one-year program and take their CNA course. In my summer class (2018), I learned the community college had LPN and ASN programs, and it was like the nursing world was calling out to me again. At first, I really didn't think I should even attempt it because of how poorly I had done in physiology (and sort of anatomy) at the university. Well, I decided to shoot for it after all, "retook" the first half of A&P in fall 2018, and got accepted into the ASN program for fall 2019. I've gotten A's and B's in all of my classes so far. No one can tell me God doesn't have a plan for me.

The number 1 thing I can say is that it’s okay to have a longer timeline for college than others! After switching from university to community college I was set back at least a year for when I graduate from nursing school and that’s okay! 4 years is not a lot of time to complete a whole degree program and to anyone who’s stressing over it, in the end you’ll have that degree and become an amazing nurse:)💞

I was a very non-traditional student...and I definitely felt that pressure of "the timeline" and having to do everything by a certain time...well, I'm a testament to the fact that time legit does NOT matter! I think I took a total of 5 years out of high school to finish my prereq courses! There was quite a bit of retaking (cause initially I didn't take my classes seriously), there were bumps in the road...but honestly guys, I have people who are younger than me, around my age, or way older than me in my nursing school cohort...It truly doesn't matter if you're 20, if you're 30, or even 60 (yes, I have seen 50-60 year olds taking prereq's!), if nursing is truly what you want to do...GO for it! Also, take as little or as much time as you need (and that you can handle!) when completing your classes. Your prereq courses (especially science classes) are some of the most important courses to do well in...not just for grades but for comprehension. I cannot express enough how grateful I was to get a full grasp of my A&P right before nursing school started.... Do your best now! The hard work will all pay off when you get that acceptance letter! Trust me!

being in nursing school having some free time, or time to yourself is extremely important. I realized if I never gave myself time off I burnt myself out and that didn't help me with my exams. Now I encourage everyone to have free time just to themselves it will make you so much happier

For any high schoolers, I graduated high school in June 2019 and I’ll be done with my pre reqs after this spring term!! I shaved off a whole year of pre reqs by taking dual credit college courses at my high school, as well as took a CNA course during the summer of my junior year!💗 I highly, highly recommend if you know that you want to be a nurse from a young age. This video was so informative and I loved hearing about your nursing journey 🥰

I love how much grace you give to yourself and others:) It's refreshing! Love your vids; they're so helpful!!

Thank you so much for this video! Setting time aside for self care is so important! I used to feel guilty for watching a movie when I could be studying but I realized that taking a break goes a long waaay!! Your recommendations are so helpful! ❤

I graduated in 2016 and planned on being a doctor of emergency medicine, so automatically enrolled in pre-med. Went to school for a while, then took leave for a bit (my brother passed away suddenly), and realized that I don’t want to be a doctor anymore. So now I am going to be going into nursing school here in the fall and am undecided as to whether I want to stop at RN BSN, or go on to be an NP. I always feel like I’m behind, because girls that I graduated with are graduating nursing school this year and I always feel like I should be too, but have to remind myself that I was on a different path and changed my mind, and that it’s okay and it’s never too late! I’m currently a CNA honestly love it. Can’t wait to keep moving up the ladder. ❤️

Yay another madi video! you honestly give me so much inspiration for motivation! currently a 3rd semester nursing student in a BSN program! i know you're gonna make an amazing nurse girl, keep on keeping on!!

Hey Madison! I just failed one of my classes of second semester, which was devastating. I failed by less than 2 points, and it hurts to know I’m not going into my senior year of nursing now. I know you have had a similar experience to this, I’m just trying to remember everything happens for a reason, and like you said in this video, there is no rush to be a nurse. I’m taking my free time now to study up and work as a CNA. Best of luck to you in journey! ❤️

I live in Canada and the process of becoming a nurse is so different! We can go straight into Nursing School from high school, and our prerequisites are completed in grade 11 and 12. And we have to get our Bachelors to be an RN, the two year program here is to become an RPN! It’s so interesting hearing the differences

Wow, we graduated the same year! That’s so cool. I started college in the Fall of 2017 with a major of pre-nursing. I took Nursing while I was in high school at a tech school and graduated with a certificate in health science. Initially I was very excited about nursing but after I graduated, I was just so burnt out on school so when I started college, I didn’t take it seriously. Long story short, I failed all of my classes and had to drop out in May 2018. But after taking some time off and getting myself together. I realize how much I love nursing and how much I want to be a nurse. I’m planning on going back this Fall and retaking the classes I failed and hopefully getting accepted into the nursing program. I do often feel like a failure because I should be a junior in college, instead I’m still considered a freshman because I didn’t even make it one year but you have been such an inspiration to me and I love watching your videos. You seem like such an amazing person and I get such a good vibe from you!

I loved this video, thanks for your words. I had a bad day but definitely listening to you made a better day

You look so much better with your more natural complexion. The dark tan was too much. You’re glowing.

Thanks for all of you informative videos Madi! You’re awesome, keep up the good work

Your videos always brighten my day and watching them makes me feel like I’m watching my best friend! Such an inspiration! ❤️

Thank you so much for this video! You helped clarify a lot of questions I had about nursing.

excited to watch this tonight !!

It seems nursing is so highly respected in the US wish I could say the same in the UK. Literally UK pay nurses so bad

Madi so happy that you are staying safe and healthy and that you chose to be a nurse and God bless you and all your fellow nursing students and hope you guy's stay safe and healthy. Love you, Matthew Carrubba from Oklahoma

Thank you so much for this girl 🥺🙏🏼 I know I’ve told you what I’ve been going through & I can’t thank you enough for the advice. You are amazing & I love you!! Let’s talk soon 🤍

Very helpful! Thanks Madi! 💕

thank you for saying there’s no timeline to it. i’m transferring universities and changing pre-nursing programs(for BSN) so i might be behind. the reassurance really eased my doubts. often people, my self included forget that nursing is a COMPLETELY different field than business, premed/med, liberal arts; the path ways for nursing careers work so different. also you’re gorgeous and good luck on your nursing endeavors!

Loved the video! And girl I am with you, I loved A&P and HATED statistics too lol😝💕

I am also on the five year plan at YSU. Makes me wish I took my ACT more seriously. My advisors aren’t the most encouraging either because of it but I’m working hard ☺️ nice to see someone else that was in a situation like me.

Awesome video and so informative. Love your vibe Madi!

Hey I love your channel since I’m going into nursing next year!!!!!!! Would you post your workout routine!!!!!!!

Thank you for the discount my love! Just ordered the chocolate protein powder & tumbler and pre ordered the portable smoothie maker which is going to be perfect for my busy schedule 🙏🏻💖

I am a junior standing in college and completely started over to pursue a BSN in Nursing this past January from originally being an Early Childhood Education major. Although it may be nerve-wracking to starting a little later in my college career, I know that this is what I want to do! One good tip for anyone starting Pre-Nursing or entering any Nursing Program, make sure you have a good understanding of yourself, what you want out of this journey, and a support system you can lean on when things become unbearable. For those who are current high school OR college students wondering if they should take the plunge into Nursing School - DO IT! If it is something you are passionate about, please do yourself the favor and go for it!

Thank you for all these helpful tips! I love your videos

Hi Madi ❤️ Thanks for doing this video 🧡. I passed NUR 150!! I’m done with my freshman year of nursing 🤎🤎 I have one more year to go!! I’m sure it’ll be crazy but it’s worth it. Never give up.. even when you WANT to

I’m going to be a freshmen in high school this fall!! this helped so much! thanks madi 💜💜

I’m still in highschool, I graduate next year and i’m off to college. My dream is to become a registered nurse and work in the hospital. It’s like what I really really want to do. And to watch these videos to see how she studies and how her experiences is just makes me so excited and impatient to get to where she is. I cant wait. Keep it up love! ❤️

i am in pre nursing right now and just finally completed statistics... i totally agree. i didn’t think it was going to be so bad but it was just annoying 😭😭 I’m just happy I’m FINALLY finished with my chemistry classes 🙏🏻 at my school we don’t have to take a test to get into the upper nursing or anything, you just apply and they take the highest GPAs so it’s just work time right now hahaha. love your videos:) (and absolutely like you said try to take a chem class in HS!! it will get you familiar with the information)

Your hair is gorgeous and looks so good on you! How did you get it like that (:

So pretty, love your hair!!🌹❤️❤️ madi I wanted to ask you on the day of the teas exam what would u recommend to someone who feels super nervous about taking it? I started study last week and the nerves had been flowing in my mind 😩

And thank you for the advice, I go to community college as well!

I love your nursing school videos! You are so pretty and sweet🥰💗💗

I view motivation as more of a feeling and feelings are unpredictable. Sometimes we are happy sometimes we are sad sometimes we have energy sometimes we don't. What you need is routine and to have stuff planned out. If you make doing work at a certain part of day a habit you will do it (like brushing your teeth). You shouldn't rely on motivation but on making things habits. That's how I stay 'motivated' and do work early and on time.

Yes, I’ve been waiting for this video, as I’m dual enrolling to start my pre-requisites next year (senior year), never disappoints. Also, you’re so pretty!

You’re so pretty!!

Hi Madi, I love watching your videos, you're so pretty! keep it up love from Canada ♥️♥️

I feel like this video was made for me or something. I just graduated high school and planning to major in pre-nursing next fall. This video was very helpful and it gave me hope that I could pursue nursing, and the video was posted on my birthday HAHA!! I also loveee taking anatomy and struggled in AP stats in high school!! Wow crazy.

Thank you for encouraging so many people. 😊I really needed to hear it because I have been doubting so much later because of fear that I’m not good or smart enough for nursing. I am taking an extra semester already and I tend to compare to people who aren’t living my journey (not fun). But it’s God’s timing too, not when I want it. I’m also a CNA because our high school offered that and knowing that I was called to nursing.

Nursing school in the US seems so complicated. I am a nursing student in Scotland and we do a three year program and then we become registered nurses.💕💕

I graduate this year in June but I will be going to my community college and doing 2 years and getting my adn and I would like to work as a rn at my local hospital can I do that or that’s not possible

Where is all ur furniture from ?

OML..... THAT HAIR THOOO.....

Girl I am taking statistics now and I dread it!!!

your headbands are so cute!

I’m an Ohio girl too! Going back to college starting in the fall 2020!!! So exciting and scary!! Especially since I’m in my 30s!!

Where’s your headband from? I’ve been looking for some good ones

I noticed you didn't have any videos for studying microbiology? Maybe I missed it. Is it safe to say we can use your same study tips from the Anatomy video? I guess at my local schools the prerequisites are a bit different, the main ones needed being human anatomy, human physiology, and microbiology. That's pretty much what your nursing application is dependent upon so the pressure to get A's in these classes is real!

I luv your videos, all the time

36 mins of madi 🤩🤩🤩

I’m doing Pre-nursing and I also suck at Math unfortunately haha 🙃 was there a lot of math related questions on the tease test? That is definitely the section of the test that makes me most nervous...

It’s funny to see how different school systems are all over the world. In the Netherlands there is no such thing as “pre-classes”. Here there are different levels in high school. We have vmbo(there are different levels within)-mavo-havo and vwo (low to high). There are 3 different levels in college/uni. Mbo (there are different levels within depending on your highschool level)-hbo-wo. If you graduate mavo you can go to mbo nursing school and become a level 4 nurse. And if you graduate havo you can go to hbo nursing school and become a level 5 nurse. Everyone who applies to the school will be admitted. I just graduated havo and will be starting level 5 nursing school at hbo in 2 weeks🤗🤗

I loooovvve your hair like this you should do it more you look gorgeous 💕💕💕

"I am in god's timing, not mine" What a lovely statement 💞. And sooo true! You get so worried about life that you forget such simple truth.

Hearing you say statistics was your hardest class worries me. I am taking behavioral statistics online this summer. Hopefully it’s not too bad! 😬 love your videos btw! 💜

I can just tell we’d be best friends if we knew each other in real life. Is that weird to say that? 😂 love watching your videos! I’m starting the nursing program next spring!

You are STUNNING. Where did you get your rings??

I’m selling a lot of nursing stuff on poshmark if you need anything for school or nursing. Can you do quarantine related videos do you have masks and gloves and hand sanitizers for yourself?

I am a pre-nursing student rn and I am doing dual enrollment.

My pre nursing classes were such a mess lol mostly because I did not know what I was going to school for, for the longest time

Do you have any tips on Statistics? I’m taking it this summer and I’m beyond nervous!

I’m on the brink of failing Ob/peds! Tomorrow is my exam I spent hours studying and I’m exhausted with me luck !!!

Good content 👌🏽

I hate statistics as well. I took it last year and had to withdraw from it. I’m now taking Quantitive Reasoning. I’m horrible at math but I’m hoping QR will be a little easier then Statistics

You did good my daughter got 15 on act. She going to retake it

i just recently went back to school to do my pre-reqs for nursing and i had a quick question! my counselor wants me to take intro to chem, and anatomy in one semester, then microbiology and physiology in another semester. since you’ve take these classes before, in your opinion, do you think this is doable? should i maybe revise my plan and take one science per semester with other g.e’s, or should i continue with just two sciences per semester, as he suggested? any and all info/opinions are appreciated :)

I just finished the ADN program at Kent and I never even realized some nursing schools require an interview and look at more than the ACT of SAT 😂

Thanks for another great video! What are your plans for the summer?

where's your shirt from???

Your top is so gorgeous where’d you get it??????

Are you working as a CNA during Nursing School? Is it hard if you are?

Stats has been my least favorite for sure!

😘😘❤️🔥
