Hi Casey, So I am currently taking AnP 1 and am lined up for AnP2, bio chem, and organic chem online while I'm getting ready to apply to a few bachelors programs throughout illinois with a 2.92 GPA. These classes are the first college classes i've taken since 2019 when I got a bachelors of science from Illinois State with a tech major, so getting back into the academic mindset and actually studying has been really hard for me, especially alongside holding a 40-50 hr/wk construction job. I'm struggling with retaining information when trying to read through textbook chapters even when I take notes. It really feels like i'd need to make AnP a full time job to actually soak up all the information and memorize it to be competitive. Do you have any advice on retaining information when studying, especially when medical terminology is so foreign and you need to know so many specific little things and interactions? I may honestly quit working soon to focus on getting better grades on these pre-req's, so that should help. Best, Mike

Mandala is good, i don't like their regular pants, their fit is very wierd but the highwaisted ones are perfect. They do stretch alot so if its too loose when you fit it is going to stretch during the day and it can be very uncomfortable.

I’m 21. Trying to get into ADN programs here in southern Cali. I have one more year of pre reqs (this fall, and next spring) I’ll be 22 turning 23 when applying to ADN programs. Praying I will get in with my A and B’s in my pre reqs and overall 3.0 GPA. I’m also going to get my CNA license to get extra points.

Thank you so much for your vulnerability 6 min in. Congrats on all your opportunities. Im kinda in that boat myself where I’m trying to pick myself up.I failed out of school too. But thankfully i have work opportunities coming up and even though I’m 34 I’m gonna back to school this fall to get my LPN after putting it off. You’re gonna be a great nurse Casey!! Keep up the awesomeness.

I want to be a Nurse and my undergrad GPA was very low. I graduated with a C average GPA. I'm a teacher which is a very terrible field. I was a caregiver to my grandmother for 5 years up until she passed away. Now I am at a community college. working towards becoming a Medical Assistant and after that I want to apply to an LVN program. To be a Medical assistant I didn't have to worry about GPA requirements at all. It was easy for me to get in. And also with getting into the LVN program there is NO GPA requirements but I get extra points towards have training as a CNA or MA. Well I'm in a medical assistant program and I am doing great in that program. Yeah getting into Nursing school is so competitive nowadays. Glad that you got into Nursing school that is awesome. It's been a hurdle for me as well. I prefer to work my way up and just do it that way. :)

Casey, I hope you’re getting this message but you have an amazing way of expressing what you have been through in the trauma medicine and emergency medicine. I’ve learned a lot from listening to you. I am applying for emergency room technician programs if I as I continue pre-nursing courses this was a very educational video and I definitely feel your warmth and compassion for patience. I am wondering the pediatric patients that you asked. I’m wondering if it was due to a car accidentare you able to disclose that to me and also where do you work? I’m not sure if you’re able to disclose that. Thank you so much.

its sad how they made nursing schools soooo competitive in the united states...here in new york at least, I've been waitlisted for many programs...the dream school i wanted to get in, kept adding new requirements each year....man...after all that work and after entering the work force...seeing how easy it was for foreign Philippine students to get into nursing school and get a work visa to work here just boils my blood...hospitals just hire foreign nurses when they is a shortage and students in the US, have to go through this grueling process of getting into nursing and THEN WORRY ABOUT TUITION!!! oh man.....

I don’t know man. I got accepted for ABSN for 15 month program. I start September 3rd, I’m also in NY. My GPA wasn’t crazy either just a 3.3 in Hospitality. I do however already have experience in patient care because I took care of my grandma. That probably is the only thing that put me above others. I also applied really late. 2 weeks before deadline.

@@dumplings769 its def not city or state, youre probably entering private for all i can tell...i had 3.7 GPA back in undergrad...and I also live in NY. just be careful and make sure your school is CCNE accredited ...once you become a nurse, getting accepted to graduate and doctorates is easy. im finishing up my doctorates now...but that level of competition was UNCALLED for...

Hi I’m a pre-nursing student going into my sophomore year. An inexpensive choice is the Lenovo yoga 6 it’s a 2 in 1 tablet and laptop. I’m able to use one side for my textbooks or PowerPoints and one side for notes. This should be under $800 or less. Hope this helps the nursing chica’s out there❤

Casey look if the hospital does any tuition scholarship also the government has scholarahips for nurses, if you work in *at need areas* which is normally also.in your state. Im doing the full process right now i start in August. Also see if your nurse associate chapter has scholarships.

Ummm... I mean.... I don't know what that says about the standards of healthcare training in your country. Someone who fails in academics but still somehow gets into a profession that requires cold hard intelligence is actually concerning. 😮
@CaseySmithOfficial2 ай бұрын
Just because someone fails in one aspect of academics doesn’t mean they will fail the rest of their life. People are resilient and can always make changes for the better. Sometimes you have to fail first to succeed.
