Tell them Alexis! Nursing school is not impossible. I graduated nursing last year in August and I had a baby halfway through my program and I also had two other small children. I also graduated during a pandemic. You have to be dedicated and organized. But if I could do it, you can too.
Girl yes! Congrats to you!
That’s amazing, congratulations!
How did you manage all that, did you have a support system
@@sherenehilton3134 yes I had a good support system. But I was also very organized. I would plan my day by the hour, I made a study plan where I would study certain topics for a specific day, I would study at least 4 hours every day, I would meal prep dinner on the weekends, and my newborn was a perfect baby. He was very relaxed and would sleep most of the night, so I could get some rest.
You go girl ! I aspire to be you !
We used to group study. That helped me alot. Got some really close friends in school to vent to, cry it out, whatever.. if i can do it anybody can.. im a single mother of 5 and made it through.. against all odds.. graduated cum laude and was inducted into phi theta kappa. ive been a registered nurse 3 years now and am in nurse management.. God makes the impossible, possible...
That is soooo motivational. Yassss against all odds. I was in my LVN program which was very fast paced with 3 kids my youngest a 2 year old and wooooo was it hard. But we made it. 🥰
Group study is everything!
Hell yeah!! I literally have 0 excuses. 5 youngins?! Wow.
Wow amazing!! Did you do your ADN or Bsn? How long did it take :)
@@nursejones63 hey girl, what do you mean by fast paced? How long was the program? I had no idea this existed!
I got C’s in all my science classes and I just started my 3rd semester of nursing school!!!! Remember YOUR WHY!!!! You want to be a nurse for a reason so hang onto that whenever you feel discouraged and press on!!! Nursing school isn’t for everyone but remember we got in for a reason ♥️
Got a c on my first 2 tests in nursing and my advisor told me I should be scared and that it might not be for me. Ended up with a high B in the class... don’t be scared of what negative things they might tell you! Take it day by day
Yes love that! Day by day
“I have beef with counselors..” 😭😂
I surely do!
That's how I get thru life " if they can do it, I can certainly do it too" lol.
I was always a B and C student doing my pre reqs and got As and Bs in nursing school. I was always terrified of failing out but nursing school is doable and I worked part time . It’s a short term sacrifice :) Goodluck to you all you got this and you CAN do it !
Okay I definitely needed to hear this cause I’m a b’s and c’s type of student in my pre reqs as well 😬 but I know I can push myself harder in nursing school 😄
So grateful to hear someone who worked through nursing school! All my professors are discouraging us from working, but that’s not an option for me. I’m definitely stressing about that part!
🤍🤍🤍
🤍
Same here! A in anatomy 1, B in Micro and C in anatomy 2. Have 4 As and 1 B in nursing school right now. Like it’s hard but I don’t feel like it’s as hard as it’s made out to be
I failed fundamentals and I am feeling discouraged. I shouldn't let that define me! Thank you, I needed this!!
It’s a learning experience! It’s up from here
Back in 2017, my counselor told me to change majors after getting a C in intro biology.. flash forward to now I graduated from nursing school with honors. Don't ever let anyone tell you to give up on your dreams!
Just got accepted to a bsn program start fall 2021. I have 4 semesters to get through.
1) planner ✅
2) study group ( will get one )
3) motivated / serious/ determined / positive attitude
LETS GOOOOOOO!!!! Thank you !
I failed 2 semesters and was told perhaps I should look into something else. I’m a PCU nurse right now lol 👩🏽⚕️
Sis, follow your dreams
Yes! I said the same thing! Nursing school isn’t necessarily “hard”, it’s just soooo much info to learn in such a short amount of time. That’s what make it difficult.
I think God is really talking to me . I’m applying to nursing school in the spring of this year and I see all these videos about nursing school and I started to get discouraged. God sent you at the right time . Thank you I needed this!!!
Don't get discouraged! You can do it!!
🤍🤍🤍
You got this! And for the days you don’t, His grace will carry you through. Rooting for you!🤍
I was a terrible student all throughout middle and high school, and now I’m get all A’s in nursing school. It’s so doable and you are beyond capable. Wishing you the absolute best of luck!
Im about to start my last semester of my RN program jan 25th... Im not excited...at all. Im dreading it honestly. 3rd semester was sooo hard, and draining so now im scared for 4th semester😩😩😩
I am in a BSN program now. I received my Associates in Science and struggled with some of the sciences classes like A&P but I am doing amazing in nursing and even made the Dean's List. I completely agree with everything you said!!
Congrats!!!! The deans list! I’m impressed
Yaass! This video is right on time! I didn't get into my university's nursing school back in my undergrad. Counselor told me to change my major or drop out. Sooo, naturally I changed my major. Fast forward 8 years and a career change later...I'm now in nursing school! Started on Tuesday! 🥰
Yesssss! So happy for you
Congratulations! Similar to my story so I can totally relate. I changed my major because I knew I wasn’t going g to get in at my university. I graduated in 2017 and now I start nursing school on February 2nd. We got this!
@@KodakkMomentt congratulations!! Yes we sure do!
@@Kelseysherri thank you
Wow thats amazing! Congratulations! Your story really goes to show that what is meant for you will always find its way to you. Good luck in nursing school you've got this!
I’m in my last semester of my BSN, & I wouldn’t do it again if someone paid me a million dollars 😂😂😂 it’s just super rigorous, and it’s so hard to not be hard on yourself. & never compare yourself to your classmates!!!
I failed a whole bunch of classes and had so many withdrawals. I got diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and ADD and got help and retook all my classes and got A’s and B’s and got accepted into nursing in May 2020! I’m in my first semester and it’s a lot of information but I love that everyone who told me I couldn’t can now watch me make my way to the end of nursing school 🖕🏼👌🏼🙌🏼👋🏼💁🏼♀️❤️❤️❤️ YOU CAN DO IT!!!! She’s not lying when she says it’s possible!
Congrats you go girl!!🎉
@@GrowthPeaceHealing ❤️❤️ thank you 🙏🏼
The pep talk I needed 💓 you’re the best.
🤍🤍🤍
4:35 is where she tells truths ya’ll! The amount of information that gets thrown at you in 8 weeks courses are literally the most difficult part! Retaining it seems almost impossible sometimes. Perseverance is all imma say after that 😅
Yes, I've heard medical students and nursing students say the information isn't hard, it's just the amount to memorize. I was so relieved .
This almost made me cry. I’m literally stressing over A&P, at this point I’m hoping to receive a C for the class.
OMGGG i was just saying this today😭. I’m currently in my second semester of nursing school and I feel like the work load makes it hard not really what I’m learning.
Im about to start nursing school and im kind of terrified😅 Pray for me yall lol
Prayers!
You got this!!! We can do and we will do it!
@@flexiblewh0r328 Yes! Thank you❤️
lol
Thank you chica! I’am 44 yrs old finishing up my prerequisites to enter the RN program. A&P have been my challenge but I’am done worrying! I’am doing this, because I know this is my mission in life. Thank you soooooo much for being so positive overall ❤️ blessings to you Babe 🙏
This week was my first semester of nursing school, and let me tell you, DOUBT has already crossed my mind. It is very much a great workload!! You posted this video at a perfect time, I really needed this!! 🥰🥰🥺
2nd week of nursing school for me! 1st semester! We got this!
I'm in nursing school right now as an S1 and I feel like you hit all the points! WE CAN DO THIS GUYS
I literally opened RUclips so I could find a nursing video to motivate me to study, and you had just posted this! I applied for nursing school today as this is my last semester of prerequisites. I'm so excited, thank you for posting this!
Period, This boosts my confidence even more and I am not stopping until I become I succeed.
I just started my first semester of nursing school this week after a being rejected the first time i applied because I had C’s in anatomy and chem. These 2 grades ended up causing me to be uncompetitive for my university’s program the first time I applied. I retook those classes and ended up with A’s in both the second time. Now that I’m in the program, I’ve been trying to process the fact that what I’ve been working towards for years (including high school) is actually here along with how much work it I have to do lol. Thank you for saying this! I really appreciate the words of encouragement!!
Oh yes the work load is alot. I am on my secong semester . Its all online and being a visual learner but i am motivated
Just finished my 2nd week of nursing school and u hit the nail on the head when you said the course load is a lot!! We have a 22 chapter test Monday in Fundamentals. I'm taking Pharmacology and Fundamentals this semester and we have 2 book per class!! Its a lot of info but pushing thorough because ain't know what my end goal is!!
Idk why they do this for fundamentals!
Our first test was on 17 chapters . Idk if they want to scare students or what? But why make students so stressed or give them impossible tasks like that off the bat?
Thank you for these kind and encouraging words! Means a lot!!!
I went to nursing school in the 80's and much has changed since then. Academics was the primary skill admissions sought. High SAT scores and mostly A's in all the prereqs. There was a military atmosphere which forced one of the students to cut her eyelashes because they were "too long for a nurse". I had a thirty year career in nursing and encourage others to enter this field.
Omg thank you so much for this! Since the semester started, it's been so overwhelming 🥵😫 especially, when after every sentence, professors say "If anything, you'll get kicked out!" Really needed someone to give some positive motivation, not just scare the heck out of you.
I start my RN program on Monday . I am so nervous and excited. I have three little ones and work full time. My husband is an incredible support system so I won’t have to do this alone 🤎 thank you for this content !!
How is it going?
Step one: get into nursing school LOL waiting on a response for this Fall 💫💕
Same here ❤️
@@lifeofnell1454 yay good luck 💓
same here omg!
I wanted to be a nurse from I was 5 year old and I'm still working towards that thank you for sharing your experience with us!❤️🙏
Go for it!!!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I needed this talk from someone who completely understands what I’m going through right now.♥️
I watched this video as I cried out of frustration of how difficult my nursing program is. As many conversations as you and I have had and all the videos I have watched of yours, you still make me want to just continue and keep going. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and creating this platform for yourself where you can motivate other people.
@thenursenook girl I needed this so bad. I was going to call my LPN school tomorrow and tell them I was going to drop out of the program before it even started, because I was scared I was going to fail. You just gave me the best reassurance, thank you!!! 💋💕
Beautiful advice nurse Nook love this type of positive feed back because now a days these folks are on RUclips talking about “nursing is not the deal” or “nursing is not what I thought“ I’m a nursing student almost done and damn me if I graduate after all this hard work and give negative feedback to students knowing that the nursing field is versatile and you can move up from there so I appreciate this thank you ♥️
You are AMAZING 🌟 I started following you in 2017, when I decided to apply to nursing school. I took my NCLEX two weeks ago, & passed in 75 questions !! I already have 2 job offers. Your support & encouragement has meant the world to me 😃 I used your code for quizlet, I had never heard of it before ! I started taking classes to go toward my BSN while getting my ADN. Your advice and sharing your journey has helped me so very much !!! I can never say thank you enough ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I was crushed after getting a C in my intro to pharm class...looking back at last semester I realize how disorganized and unmotivated I was. You are absolutely right when it comes to organization!!! Had I been more organized and strategized my studying, I wouldn't have been so stressed in the end praying to the lord I passed that class lol..btw it was such an excruciating 3 days of waiting for grades to post. Self care is also SO important, exercising and eating well have made such a huge difference. Thanks for reminding me that this isn't impossible, here's to starting fresh in my peds/OB rotations!!! :)
Thank you very much for this sincerely. Hearing this from a completed RN is amazing ❤️
Now that times are different the only time I see people are during sims & clinicals 😂...these zoom study sessions aren’t cutting it 🤦🏾♀️
I needed this, thank you!!
I graduated nursing school a month ago and just wanna say this video is ON POINT!
I wanna try but my high school grades aren’t so good 🥺
Thank you! I needed this
just finished my first week of my bsn program. i’m so scared but so glad this video popped up when it did. but definitely trying to stay positive about the next 2 years!
I start Nursing school Monday. REALLY needed this, thank you beautiful 💗
Ok! This is exactly what I need it to hear from someone...thank you💜
Thank you for this video I really needed to hear this. I’m currently taking my pre reqs and have gotten all A’s so far but I do get overwhelmed and discouraged when counselors and even some family members remind me how competitive and hard nursing school is and I even doubt myself but this motivated me and I know I’m doing it all for the right reasons. Thank you again.🤍🤍🤍
I’m in my final semester of nursing school & everything you mentioned was spot on! I am not a type A student & I have bad habits of procrastination and low motivation, but organization & study groups is truly what helped me succeed! Thank you so much, love your vids!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I'm in my third semester and felt overwhelmed. Thank you!
I have been watching you since before I finished my pre reqs for nursing and now I’m in my second semester of nursing school!!! crazy how time flies but I stay watching your videos
It's the "I failed Anatomy " for me! Sometimes you gotta take a step back to break the ceiling! Insightful video
Thank you for this video. I'm in my last semester of my ABSN program and before starting I kept watching videos that emphasized that nursing school was hard but never really elaborated. Which made me doubt myself and fear school. But you are 100% right, the material isn't necessarily hard, it's all the other things they throw on top of it that makes nursing school difficult. Having to balance lectures, reading, assignments, quizzes, exams, and making sure you're actually retaining all the info is what makes nursing school hard, in my opinion. I hope your video helps relieve some anxiety for those going into nursing school. It's been very validating for me.
Girl!! Thank you for sharing your nursing journey. I started watching your videos I’m 2017 and I FINALLY started nursing school this month!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I’m on the struggle bus y’all... pray for me. I ain’t young no mo Lololol
love this video! I appreciate the positive energy you are projecting to your followers and people like myself who are currently on the road to nursing school. I remember during my LVN school there were a lot of people who had doubts of me reaching my goal to becoming an RN. I silenced those voices, worked in silence, and now I am a step closer to taking my RN courses. Grades to not define you.
omg thank you for this !! I’m currently applying to nursing school for the fall and I’m....so scared >.< but hearing your story and watching your growth is so inspiring and motivational
Currently in my first quarter of my LVN program and I definitely needed to hear this as I’m studying at 1 am and struggling because I’m already so overwhelmed with the amount of information being thrown at me so thank you!! 🥺🥺💗
thank you ! im starting my nursing journey as a second career. i was putting it off for years because i already have a BA and i was nervous about getting back into school but now im more focused.
I swear I needed to hear this
Thank you for this video 🙏🏽
Literally what I needed to hear! Thank you, you inspire me so much ❤️ I’ll be taking my TEAS test next month and applying to the nursing program in the spring 😄🤞🏻
Thank you so much!! I needed this! 💗 new subscriber!
Thank you so much for this!!!!! Blessings to you and yours! 🙏🏼😌
Here I am still watching your videos and I have 4 months left of nursing school! Time has flown by and your videos have definitely helped get me through it! ❤️
Thank you thank you so much for this video. I'm on my journey towards becoming an RN and really appreciate you great advice and motivation.
Thank you for making this video! I’ve been feeling really unmotivated and burnt out lately! You gave me a little hope ❤️
I totally agree that the hardest part about nursing school is the workload! You have so much to learn in so little time and it can be so overwhelming. The material is really not too bad if you study enough
I definitely needed this video !! I’m in anatomy and physiology 1 and it’s tough because we’re learning a lot. Anatomy isn’t really hard it’s just A LOT of information to take in with very little time and remember and actually learn it. But I’m gonna keep pushing I know I’ll get through 😌
I changed major a long time ago from nursing to Hr but I love watching your vids! You make me want to be so organized!
Omg yes. I’m 7 months away from graduating with my ADN. I agree it’s difficult from the amount of things that come with it. It’s draining but I know I’ll thank myself later. Thank you for this video ❤️❤️
after being told that i should think of a backup plan bc it wasn’t looking to good for me, i’m in my first week of nursing school 🥳 thank you for this video. i NEEDED it 😭❤️
I completely agree. Take it seriously, be organized and prepared, and participate in class whenever possible.
Approaching my last semester of nursing school & what you said in this video is extremely relevant! Thank you for the motivation throughout my nursing journey!
Thank you for this!! I had a counselor tell me they didn’t think I was smart enough and should consider to change my major I was feeling down because looks like I’ll be passing with a B in A&P and I was feeling down because it’s me 2nd time retaking it but after this video I feel so much motivated again! Thank you for this 💕
I had to retake both A&P 1 and A&P 2. I also felt discouraged but I ended up passing both the second time around. What people say about you doesn’t define who you are!! I respect your hustle and congrats on passing!!👏🏽🎉
Thank you for this pep talk girl I really needed this ! 🙏🏾❤️ God bless you
I am about to graduate from my BSN program in just a few months and I cannot believe how the time in nursing school has flown by! I want to encourage anyone in the comment who reads this that you CAN do it no matter what anyone says. There will definitely be challenging times and lots of hard work, but try not to listen to all the nursing school rumors out there. You will get through it and Y'ALL GOT THIS! Also fully agree that it is not impossible, it is essential to have a support system, and you do gotta be organized :)
Thank you 💖💖💖 I needed this 💕
COULD NOT AGREE WITH THIS MORE!
I’m applying for an ABSN program in April! Thank you for this video I feel like I really needed the encouragement! I’m so excited!
I agree with EVERYTHING in this video. I don’t sugar coat anything you when I tell people about nursing school but I always tell them IT IS POSSIBLE. And that’s funny I had a counselor like that too when I went to college the first time. And the support system thing is what got me through nursing school.
Granddaughter graduated 4.0 number 1 in Uni of Houston. Wrote the NCLEX in 75 questions and is employed new nurse L&D Houston Methodist.
I start my accelerated RN BSN program in April😁 but I'm so nervous because I have no nursing experience 🥺 pray for me!
girl same but we got this! prayers 🤍
Thank you for making this video 💕 I am in my third semester of nursing school and I am trying to start enjoying the experience from now on 💕
i hear back next week from my top nursing school that i applied to!! wish me luck yall 😭🤞🏽🤞🏽
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! ❤️ You motivate me not to give up!!
Soooo true. I had 2 C’a and 1 B in my science classes. Never took prerequisites as serious. Was able to get into the program and did better in the classes inside the program than the prerequisites. Which I find crazy because my load was wayyyyyyyy heavier in the program than just taking prerequisites alone.
Thanks for spilling the tea boo. I’ve always loved watching your video. I think you did a video before talking about you had C’s in your prerequisites and still was accepted. That motivated me And boom ya girls a nurse 🎉🎉🎉🙏🏽
4 semesters in and my organizational skills have improved so much from that first semester
Right one time with this video! I start my accelerated nursing program next Tuesday for my ADN 😭 really needed to hear this ! Thank you ❤️
Yes congrats!!!
Yesss, it's never impossible to come out great it nursing!!
Thanks very much for this motivation...You're the best!!💕
Thank you!! I needed to hear this!
Can you make a video about how to construct a resume for nursing? Please😊
Wow I really needed to hear that especially the part about grades. I earned a B in A&P 1 and 2 and retook both and ended up getting a B again in A&P1 and a C in A&P2. I cried so hard and felt so defeated I couldn't stop thinking maybe this was a sign that I shouldn't be in the nursing field. I wish someone had told me hey if you don't get in this time just reapply because a B is not a failure and you don't need to retake the class. Awesome video!!
Love the video!!
I have my nursing school interview coming up this week for an accelerated 15 month master's program and this is the pep talk I needed. The imposter syndrome is real sis 😔
You got this girl!! Coming from someone who felt the exact same and is now in my final semester of nursing school- you are capable and you will succeed!
The video I didn’t know I needed. Thank you beautiful 🤍
Yess!! that 1st response is so true. Counselors and professor either intentionally on unintentionally discourage the student if they see a C or even a B. I had my community college professor discourage me to go into nursing because I was going to get C in her microbio class.
Currently retaking 3rd semester of nursing! Thanks for this video ❤️
