Omg hi!! So I just started the video but first I wanna say a few things. I just graduated my nursing program this past May and am now a new ICU nurse. I’m gonna tell you upfront, nursing school was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. But I promise you with my entire being it is so beyond worth it!! No matter how hard it gets, and with every roadblock you hit, please keep pushing forward. Remind yourself all the time how much you want this. It will be feel so slow and then boom all of a sudden you’re towards the end of the journey. I just love seeing new students. I remember the excitement of starting and I wish I had someone to talk to when I was a new student. Best of luck to you friend! It will be great!:) Sending calming vibes from upstate NY🤘🏻

I loved nursing school, but I felt that I was going to fail the whole time. You will do great. I graduated in 2016. Just remember that they are there to teach u not to fail you. Help them help u, help yourself, ask questions and study a ton. Nothing will go wrong tomorrow lol. U r amazing u got this also make sure u get a good group of friends to study with (pick the smartest ones) and you got this

I tried going into nursing right out of high school and 2 years in I had to drop out due to family issues. I’m 27 now and thinking about going back but I’m also feeling like I’m too old to go back at this point 😅I know I’m not old but it just feels like I’m behind in life

I find myself watching nursing videos just because I’m scare to start school, I’ve been a CNA for over 8yrs and I want to take the next step to LVN or LPN cause I don’t think I’m ready for the RN.. and just by watching this kind of video encouraged me to keep going. Wish you luck on your Journey 🖤

Honestly i want an opinion from someone who actually is taking nursing. So could you possibly give your opinion on the difficulties and things? Ive seen so much online about how horribly hard it is and im quite scared that i wouldnt be able to get through.

@LaurenDykstra 7 ай бұрын

I totally get it! I thought the same thing before I started and now that im almost 2 months in, I can say its overwhelming at first but once you get your groove its definitely manageable! I think the most important factor that determines if someone can "make it through" is if they really want to become a nurse because if its something you REALLY want then you will find a way to make it through!! There is a lot of work, but its not incredibly hard!

@user-fp7ds1yh1e 7 ай бұрын

@@LaurenDykstra That honestly makes me feel a lot better. Thank you so much! Hearing those things online made me pretty scared to say the least, but you having felt the same way and giving me some clearance soothed my nerves a lot. It shows that nerves are normal. Can I ask what kind of nursing you are pursing? I was thinking about perhaps pursing RN.

Hi! I’m starting undergraduate nursing in September, and I was debating if I should get a iPad for note taking and for studying. Would you recommend??

Hey! From Canada! Just wondering the difference between the accelerated and the 4 year BSN? We only have the 4 year BSN program where I am from. :)

@williamfournier176 13 күн бұрын

From what I understand, it’s the same. The accelerated program is just the 4 years jam packed Into 2 years. (Literal hell)

@TheJasminBest 12 күн бұрын

The accelerated BSN is for those who already have a college degree, but want to pursue nursing. It’s mainly all your clinicals, and nursing classes since you already got the general courses out of the way. The 4 year track is the “normal” route.
