!!!! Get it gurl! So how has the transition from LPN to RN been? What type of nursing do you do now? I can not wait to get into a program, I know that the career opportunities will def expand?

yourfavnurseb Thanks for the video, can I do the LPN if am not a US citizen?

DivaNurse405 3000$ ??? Please where ????? Mine is about 14k 😑😑

Sweet. what school did you go to for LPN to RN? Thanks!

Perry Froze I believe you can as long as you’re a legal resident, not need to be a citizen

Lakiya Brookins Great testimony, thanks for sharing. Do u like being a nurse?

Lakiya Brookins OMG!! I’m really glad I read this comment. I needed this. Congrats to you love!!

Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story.

lala fewulzr Wow that’s great it’s not about how you start it’s all about how you finish. Do you have a email or anything? so maybe you can help me.

Congratulations, I'm so proud of you and I don't even know you... do you and to continue?

April Hudson My dear, your words were powerful! It gave me chills and moved my spirit. I too, will be a nurse. I'm going to become a CNA, and work while going to school to be an LPN. After that, I'll work as an LPN while going on to be an RN. I think of nurses as being like that certain Samaritan Christ talked about (Luke 10:25-37). Know that Christ not only use us to be there in the greatest moments of life (child birth), and comfort those in the saddest moments (death), but to speak the word of God to those in need, and to show the Spirit of God through our duties as a nurse! I believe that you'll be a great nurse, and I will pray for you and many other nurses/nursing students as well! God Bless!

Grant the White Owl thank you so much. I love the way you have your goals set. I'm excited for you and pray God give you favor with teachers, students, etc. Yes a nurse carries many loads and the amount of work, dedication, constructive criticism is what makes you an awesome nurse. May God continue to bless you. PS continue speaking into the existence of your life.

April Hudson very inspiring!

Very motivational... What about work , did you have to go part time

Constance Daniels Yes I did have to work, but I was terminated for taking off too many days due to school. I was a CNA at my job for 6 years. It was very devastating to know that your own job wouldn't want to see you succeed and better yourself. If your job will work with you, work on the weekends if possible. During the week you will need your study time. Good luck and God bless!

Congrats to you for staying focused on your goals!!! It’s always good to show that you are a real person during the school interviews. Let me know when u graduate!!! And let me know if u have any vid requests once u start the program

yourfavnurseb thank you sooo much!!!

@@nursekaitland9410 where school did you go for your LPN program?

BuffyCones good luck, I took the test 6/26... Hoping to get my interview scheduled soon! Maybe I'll see you when school starts in September 🤞🏾

Thx gurlie, I've been an LPN for 2 years and I feel like the road to RN is taking forever but I know I'll get there. Congrats, do you have a specialty that you want to pursue? -yourfavnureseb

why 4 years for lpn?

Shauntay Belton right?

It changed mine too. ☺️ I’m glad you listened and believed in yourself enough to go for what you want.

Thanks and good luck. I'll be doing a video soon on the things to do before starting nursing school. -yourfavnurseb

stayforevertrue Appreciate it, and I'm looking forward to your next vid

Dominique Daugherty Congratulations

Omg!! Kesha is so sweet! I talked to her for an hr before I even took the test! 😂 And I’ve already joined the Facebook group!! Keep up the videos, you’re blessing a ton of people!👏🏾✨🙌🏾

Darlene Paul that’s awesome! I live near Charleston

@@redevous Turns out my program is more like $11,000.I failed a&p last semester.I passed this semester but with a 72 and I need a 75 for nursing so this coming Monday I will be taking a&p for the 3rd time ..aarrrgh.Hopefully 3rd times a charm.

Darlene Paul Congratulations keep God first and study hard, you will succeed

Chantay Wadlington ! congrats. Ill do a vid on what to do before you start nursing school.

You will get it! Have you identified what you need to work on? Nurse B

Kelsea Bee where do u live?

Kelsea Bee mine was FREE

yourfavnurseb Mississippi

Erick Rosa same for me 🙌🏾 but it's still relatively cheap.

Kelsea Bee mines 4.5k

Good topic, will do!

I agree I start in August as well

Hey did you finish lpn courses. I start in September of this year

Np, it really helped me. Unless the school is doing hesi or teas but I think they are all similar as far as the material esp for math

MizzShron Yea Im going for my LPN also. People ask me that too why I'm not going for RN. What people fail to realize is that some people don't have 2 to 4 years right now. I just simply tell them this is MY life and this is the road that is best for me. Good luck!

Hope everything worked out for you! Hope you have your LPN and a great job! 💕

Renee Lewis congrats gurlie. Keep me posted on how it goes.

Amina Oliver ! thats exciting! good luck. yea, so many people are going through financial issues/ slumps. im just so fortunate to have become a nurse. its a good choice.

Wow, thanks for such a quick response. You are an inspiration, I subscribed to your channel for future motivation and encouragement ☺

Amina Oliver lol. im on vaca from work. so ive been on over drive with my channels. more vids to come. please keep me updated on ur nursing journey.

I sure will

Omg that’s what I’m saying. Prices are so hiked up here 😖

No way. My community college in ca asks about 10 k

Unicorn Horse community college is significantly cheaper. My local cc is about $5K. But general classes plus the LVN program are really hard to get into where I live. Even if you have all your prerequisites, it’s basically like playing the lottery. If you don’t get picked, you have to try the following year. If you’re lucky, it’d take 2 years at the very least. Private schools know this, so unfortunately they hike up their prices and take advantage. Time is money. So it may cost more up front, but getting done a lot faster might be worth it for some. If you have the time, definitely go the cc route! :)

I paid 7500 for tuition and all supplies at an adult school in northern Ca.

same thing in MA

Money is the one things that holding me up when it comes to pursing my RN. What state are you in there might be govt programs. I know here in STL you can get something called WIA its like 5,000 towards school for doing job readiness classes. They go by income so if you have kids it helps. But for people like me with a two household income and no kids its tough. But hey the degree afterward will be worth it. Maybe look online and apply for scholarships or find an employer that will help with school. -yourfavnurseb

stayforevertrue thank you for all your posting, they are very helpful.... I have found a school that will accept me, the advisor and I have been internet searching for funding and we have found some, I'm in Detroit, Michigan so it's some stuff available but it's mainly for low income, I'm not considered to be low income in their book, and because I have a degree the really don't wanna help... but I'm still working my two jobs and saving so I will get there soon. thanks again

Yea it really puts you in a jam, I def feel your pain gurl. But being adult students you have to deal with life and learning and that a whole other issue. $5,000, such a steal, you can pay that out of pocket. Keep me posted, future nurse!

Which school is that? I'm in South Florida and interested in a lpn course.

jlmfred60 right! I’m weak!

Didnt know they had one. I would do it

Yes

I know it's crazy. It's around $6000.00 in South Florida.

you might as well go to r.n school

my local cc is 23k

Jasmine Smith do u know the name of the school in tenn. looking to attend nursing school

June's Corner hey, may I ask where in South Florida?

Thanks. Congrats to your wife, how did she score such a good deal, OMG 5,000 I could pay that out of pocket. But there is an RN program about an hour from my house that's 5,000, I'm still debating if it's worth the commute.

yourfavnurseb My wife attends to Cuyahoga Community College and all of her prerequisite were complete prior to being accepted into the program and their was no waiting list at all, please don't stop your education...she failed the Lpn program twice at another school, but I didn't allow her to quit on herself at all, she just complete her first semester in Lpn This fall I completed chemistry 1010 with an A, in the spring I'll be taking chemistry 1020, then all I have to complete is English 2, Micobiology, Anatomy & Physiology 1&2 and Statistics, then I'll have all my prerequisites for both the A.D.N & BSN will be completed. Afterward I'll be taking the entrance Hesi A2 exam which I only need to take is the English and Math portion thats required for both the Lpn and R.N. and I must pass the exam with a 75% commutative for either program, I'm doing the A.D.N once I complete the program I'm transferring to Cleveland State University for my B.S.N, which both colleges are right across from one another, makes it super easy when it comes to transportation, skip right across the street...lolo, also Cleveland State University give a $2,000 scholarship when you attend to their B.S.N. program.

yourfavnurseb Hey I'm in the area can I message you more info about this?

sorry for the late response. Congrats to you and your wife, you two are going to be bringing in the big bucks together and you'll both know how it feels when you come home from a crappy day at work. I'm also taking my prereqs for ADN and BSN until I can get into a program of my choice. -yourfavnurseb

Im so sorry I didnt see your post. yes please message me, I would be happy to help

A nurse is a caregiver. We give bed baths and do patient hygiene. You have to love caring for the sick in order to be a successful nurse.

goldn rosee Yes it is hard when u are trying to "find" yourself. But God will lead u. How long do u have to complete ur AA? Have u worker in the healthcare field?

yourfavnurseb I have roughly 3 more semesters or 7 classes in total.I go to school part time and work full time and my job is in Sales + Business. I've been thinking about getting in the medical field for a long time because I LOVE helping people and always have put others before me. But like I said I'm so indecisive of what to do 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Girl you young! Im 28 and on here wondering what to do with my life.

Yes

Adina Bailey I'm in Ohio my program is 12k

what school is that?

Am I Too Old to Be a Nurse? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7JifcqJ0LPFYHU.html

Lee Elias No I was married and working fulltime however, I will be a mommy in nursing school soon! Im trying not to freak out about it.

yourfavnurseb You got this, don't freak out. Just understand that it's only a short time inconvenience, for a long term career/financial benefit. You can do it. I'm starting and I have 5 children and a husband. We got this 💪💪💪👌😘😘😘

You def do gurl, one of my coworkers is single mom of 7 and she went through the same program as me. You're right its possible

Hey gurl! Im glad another St. Louisian found my channel. When she says "they give you a lot of patients", is she referring to the school or jobs that hire LPNs? I work at a large nursing home, so the stress and work load is a lot, but I get a lot of support from my coworkers, plus I've been at my job for 5 years and started as a CNA so it's different for me since I started off already familiar with the facility. But, is there money to be made? YES, esp since there is a huge nursing shortage and companies are willing to start LPNs off with higher wages. And there is always over time and (my job even offers bonus and double time) In nursing you will never have to worry about finding a job unless you have something against you on your license and even then some places will still hire you. If you havent done any prereqs yet, I would say do the Met Center first, and work as an LPN while taking your classes for RN. While in RN school after you finish your first semester, UMSL has a RN to BSN program that you can do one day out of the week while still in RN school. So there are alot of options, but if you are kind of starting from scratch like I was, LPN first is a great start. The money is good, you will have leg up on other nursing students too because you'll have that clinical exp. Long response, but let me know if you have any other specific questions, stay positive, at least study and take the next entrance exam for the August LPN class and the met center. Finish the application and just see if you get in. If not then try again or enroll in nursing prereqs. Just keep your options open do research and in the end do whats best for you and your future. -yourfavnurseb

yourfavnurseb THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH ... I'm going to be hounding you with questions , when I start lbs

From what I've seen that's a decent fee for school. I would definitely see about going to a community college for your RN if you choose to go further and also see if your employer will help pay for school. Get as much help as you can for school, cause paying off student loans is no joke. Good luck!

Hey girl! Yes and I'm still in STL. -nurseb

Pamela Mcrae Go for it girl.I'm 58 and will be starting my 2 year adn program in August.I'm pretty excited.If I can do it you can do it too!

Darlene Paul thank for encouragment im in process of getting everything done for my PN. You go, for your 2 year☺.

me too

I didn't pay anything for RN school. Grants covered it all

I only had to pay for like $2,000. Scholarships covered the rest. No grants for me cause I already had a bachelors.

Brian Wood I had a bachelors too in psych but I still got grants

You were lucky. All I qualified for was scholarships and loans. I didn't have to borrow much thank god

You choose what’s best for you. “They” will always have an opinion, even the ones who haven’t even done it.

Right. Lol You are very beautiful by the way. :)

St. Louis college of health careers. You can also look at applied tech which is cheaper

Damn! My medical school was half of that.

Hi, start with CNA and see what you feel about it. You will only do as well as you think you can. You can do it and even more, you just have to believe in yourself. I have a video about this titled: "Don't get lost in the sauce stay focused." -nurseB

Rn is way harder.

Renee Cunningham Before nursing i worked at a daycare too. Everyone gets worried just make sure your ambition out weighs your doubts. You can do it.

yourfavnurseb thankyou!

Sonia Donahue Hi Sonia sorry for butting in. There is a 1 year LPN program in Columbus, OH that's been around for 60+ years. The tuition is $15,000. Google Columbus School of Practical Nursing and you'll find what you're looking for. Hope this helps!

Sonia Donahue

thank you so much for the tip

no sorry I didn't know I posted that. I watched you video and must have accidentally posted that, sorry again....an congratulations

There is another PN school called Hondros School of Nursing in Ohio. Maumee to be exact. You have to take the HESI entrance exam. It’s 12months. They also have a bridge program. Athena is another school. Good luck.

Hey there, I know that you can make more working as a certified medication administrator, but if you are saying can you work as a cna and also be a phlebotomist and get paid more as a CNA just because you are a phlebtomist, but you arent working as one, then I would say no. But I do know CNAs that have gone on to work as phelbotomist and CMTs and now get paid more. I also know some CNAs that are certified to give insulin but they do not make more at my job because only nurses give insulin.

yourfavnurseb Thank you love!

Hi, im in Saint Louis, MO. Are you in a part of IL where you can come over to MO for schooling? I've heard that its easier to go to school here and get your license here, then apply for it in IL, that way you can work in both states. But I've heard that IL doesnt have CMTs...that sucks! Let me know if I can be of any help for you and if you have any video requests. Also join my fb group, its under your fav nurse b

Future LPN Licia you got it. And at least the income u get from being an LPN will help pay of your loans

yourfavnurseb and I also have a Bachelor's degree....ok I hope so :(...praying

Future LPN Licia wow, maybe you could go straight into an accelerated BSN once your tuition is payed off and your transcripts are released

yourfavnurseb I should but I'm not really sure

You are blessed so go to LPN school and become a nurse

Hi, I'm in Saint Louis MO. The prospects for nurses and CNAs is very good, you can put your resume on indeed and get a response in the same day. I would encourage to relocate to a bigger city, even if its only like an hour from where you are now. Also, look into travel CNA. You will get a job! -NurseB

The school that I went to for LPN did not require me to show transcripts. So i was still able to get it. Nurse B
