Listen to her, you guys!! I applied her video about study tips while doing my pre reqs 5 years ago !! I am now graduating with my BSN in 3 days. Nurse B is the truth.
The title of the video was "Know your learning style....."
Oh wow, that’s def an oldie but goodie, I forgot I even made that video
Congratulations!!
@@evolvingshan7970 Thank you
Sigh.. I completed all my prerequisites for my BSN straight out of high school..Fast forward got pregnant..my courses (that I’m paying off) EXPIRED due to life and having kids turned single mom..LPN 3 1/2 yrs now..I need Jesus and ALL HIS DISCIPLES… for strength to re do these prerequisites so I can bridge
Go for it, look at a few schools requirements and when classes expire, it may not be as much as you think. Either way sit down and plan how long it will take, go for it and you are going to look back and be like, that time went by. It took me 7 years from pre reqs to completion of my RN. But hey it’s done. The time goes by.
Ok same
What time frame do they expire? I did a lot of the pre-reqs straight outta high school back in 2009. And I just retrieved my transcript from the community college, but it's been so long I'm thinking they might not accept it & I'll have to redo. Not too worried about having to take a placement test though...might have to just brush up on memorizing some of the algebra formulas is all...
I’m taking my pre reqs at a community college. Make sure your classes transfer. I want to be an LVN and bridge over into a ADN program that way I can still work and get my BSN online.
Can we do pre requisite courses from private, because I did my associate from private with technology major. I don’t know where to start from !!! 😢
Yessss!!! They be money grabbing with the pre- prerequisites
I can’t believe I’m back on this journey I used to watch you years ago! I start the lpn program 5/20❤
Oh wow. No time like the present, best of luck!!!
I also want to joint but what’s the pre requisites for this I already do graduation through business is this line is tough
Thank you for all of this great information. Times have changed recently, pre requisites are no longer needed here in the state of GA for LPN. Need TEAS and orientation now. Still Need preqs to bridge to RN later though. Previous CMA or CNA licensing earn points toward score sheet as well.
This is a great video. I also recommend taking advantage of taking a withdraw versus failing the course or not doing well. The loss of money short term is better than having to take semesters worth of classes to show improvement in GPA. Also, if you’re planning for a nursing degree that doesn’t include all of the hard sciences do yourself a favor and take them anyway if you want to give yourself the option of NP, PA, MD, routes post-prerequisite/ or nursing. Sciences and working full-time is a recipe for disaster most times.
What you said!
For my prerequisites, all I had to do was complete the science prerequisites (Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology). I had to learn the hard way on not taking 2 science classes in a semester. I took anatomy and chemistry at the same time to get it done. I highly don't recommend it. At the school I was going to, chemistry was a prerequisite to get into physiology and microbiology. I did feel like I did better in chemistry than I did in anatomy, but then I did better in physiology and microbiology.
I'm taking my intro to A&P class in the fall of this year. I'm not taking it for 8 weeks. I am taking that course for 16 weeks. Science isn't a strong subject of mine. I have to really concentrate. I really like my community college. it's affordable and the payment plans are great. Plus i enjoy paying in-state tuition. Out of state tuition is so high. I am sticking with a community college.
I'm so glad I ran into your video. I have been searching schools regarding nursing because I want to become a nurse. I'm a full time worker and single mom and searching for classes hoping I can find a night class but needing to check out prereqs. Thank you so much for all the tips
Good luck.
yet but, I have watched several others. My fiancé has been has been in my ear regarding enrolling in nursing school for quite a while now (no he is not a nurse) however, it has been a little intimidating. I graduated high school 13 years ago. I have no college education but have contemplated furthering my education. After subscribing and watching several of your videos I feel like I’m ready to make the leap. I’m 31 years old now and while I have a great job with excellent benefits, it will not afford me the growth I/We are looking for. You have given me the motivation and drive to really go for what I want and I want to thank you for it. I find your videos clear and relatable. They make me feel that I can do it too and I should do it too. What you are doing means something and I’m thankful to have you as a reference! I have 3 community colleges in the chicago area that I am now considering. I have requested information from all three and am completely eager to get my feet wet! Again thank you for what you do and have done!

How's it going for you Shaun?
I just got my LPN license I got all of my pre requisites and I have an associate degree I just don’t want to be in school over a year but am going to check the junior college like you said I just want to get my RN and I will go back to get my BSN after all of my friends are telling that I can get my BSN online but I will deal with that once I get my RN! Thank you 🙏 for your advice!!!
I'm going for LPN first then RN too. How did your prereqs go? I have to take Gen Biology, Gen Chem, A & P 1 and 2 and Microbio to get into LPN. Ughhggghgg. I am so nervous
NurseB I love you. My butt is on a detox/fast too. I actually went to dinner with coworkers tonight and survived drinking just a glass of ice water while everyone downed pizza and loaded fries. Our waistlines will thank us!🥑🌱🍎🍌🍋
Ha I'm 36 and can ear pizza and fries all day n waist still stays slim
Graduating with my LPN in 2 weeks! Taking a couple classes this summer and fall that I need to bridge over to ADN, than bridging over in the summer of next year only needing 2 more semesters. I say do LPN route first if you plan on continuing! Even though I’ll be seen as a “tech” in the hospital, I want to work in the ER and I’ll learn so much there. 3rd and 4th semester are centered around MedSurge so me working as a nurse/tech in the meantime will help me grow my skills.
Hi. What kind of math is in the LPN ? Thank you.
@@pankajjoshi2032 Dosage Calculations. That’s like the first thing you learn entering in nursing classes because you have to pass the dosage calculation exams before you enter the clinical setting and administer medication. :)
@@TerezGemma So, it's just basic math: + - */.
I have a question for you is it hard doing pre requisites classes while doing LPN courses. I wanted to get my LPN license first so when I get in the actual nursing program I can make money and get experience at the same time. Any advice
@@TheVelenciaDenaiit is hard but the school you attend determines the classes you take… a community college will require all those extra classes like pre reqs… a smaller private school like Fortis is fast track they won’t even require those pre reqs for LPN but when you get your RN you need those English maths and sciences anyway…. I hope this helps you good luck
Life got in the way and i couldn't get my lpn license when i was younger and im 48 now. Im planning on relocating and going next fall
No time like the present, it’s great that you are pursuing a long time goal, too many people give up on having what they really want. Good luck with EVERYTHING!
@yourfavnurseb9699 I wanted to be a nurse a long time ago. I have been a caregiver for my adult life so I figured I'd use that as a foundation and relocate. I'm thinking Memphis Tennessee. I have a few cousins up there and I saw a lot of nursing schools in that area. If I need more information I'll just use your videos as a guide. Being 48 I might need them.
@yourfavnurseb9699 I hate to bother you but I have a question. Do you recommend that I take some prerequisite classes before I go to nursing school.?
@@linettedavis1573Every school has their requirement so better check with the schools you would like to attend and see how they go about their work. I believe for community colleges you would have to get prerequisites done before you can start the main program.
I’m gonna start my prerequisites next year I’m sooo excited I’m saving money now lol😭
Also putting that petal to the metal is useful😂 I had a C in chemistry two left in a fast track, push that gas and got that B.
Sis it took me a year to get through my prerequisites. I passed the TEAS this past summer and will find out if I get a seat for this fall. I am so excited. The only reason I didn’t apply to multiple school is because I didn’t want to take the TEAS over.
Yay! I wonder could you use those TEAS scores at other schools? Good luck with everything, pre reqs is really one of the biggest hurdles, so congrats on getting that done so fast!!
I like these tips!
Theres also programs that pay for nursing school like the un-employment office..which in Texas they gave gas cards and paid daycare and paid for school and supplies.
I went to a career college for lvn here so I might do a bridge there but get it paid for.
That’s SO awesome thanks for sharing. There are SO many resources, so glad that you learned about them and actually used them. Good luck on your next move in your career!
Hello I'm here in Houston looking to get into nursing. Currently working as a CNA. Do you have any more information on the programs here in Texas that may provide asisstance in paying for college?
Hi, do you mind elaborating more on the Texas program that helps to pay for nursing school. I’d love to look into it.
I love all your videos! You're the best. I am applying for Fall 2025 nursing program at my community college. They want me to take Elementary Algebra I, B minimum. Essentials of Chemistry, B minimum. Biology of the Human Organism, C minimum. I can't believe they only need 3 pre requisites. Then the HESI entrance exam, which is 70% in all main subject areas and 70% cumulative score.
I wish I had this video years ago
We don't have math as are prerequisites, thank God❤ besides the placement test OR you have to take the ACT.
Planning out a schedule made me want to snatch my hair out 😂
Girl, I was accepted to SCC nursing program. I’m exited and nervous at the same time . I’m finishing up my last two classes of prerequisites. I only applied one school so I’m glad they took me. I’m really scared that I wouldn’t survive in Nursing school even though I’m currently honor student this same community college. I will be keep watching your videos for encouragement 🥰
What school is SCC?
@@authoralexuscsmith8997 st charles community college
St. Charles Community College
Located here in Missouri
Congratulations!
@@leah130 Thank you!
Sick to my stomach about this. Have not been in school since 2015. I have all this science to take, don't know a LICK of it. Have no idea how I am even going to study etc. Jesus
We're on the same boat
Thanks for the knowledge!
that would suck so bad if that happened to me! Two and a half years from now I'll be almost 70 years old. I literally don't have the time for them to be jacking my prerequisites all up
Bingo! Thanks nurse B! 🤔🤗👍🎉💫
dang mama B ❤you laid out the whole truth.. I’ve gone threw 20 videos and the other girls wanted to to keep on the info to themselves…😢Thank you ..
Thx, glad I could help
I found out I have 6 pre-reqs (Anatomy and Physiology 1&2, English Comp 1&2, College Algebra, Microbiology, Gen Psych, and Chemistry for non majors) to take before applying to the nursing program, but Im determined to get through them and become a Nurse❤ Thanks for the info.
You probably have to also take biology if you haven’t already, it’s typically a pre req for micro and A&P. Some schools also make sure you have a certain math completed (I believe mine was intermediate algebra) before you start the chemistry class. It’s crazy that there are pre reqs for your pre reqs. I would check with an advisor to see if this is the case at your school.
Good luck with everything, it may take a lil time to get these class done but it’s worth it. Make a plan and it will be done before you know it.
I saw a video from a girl that attends Chamberlain she states Chamberlain has a minimum of two years of school no matter if you have completed the prerequisite or not.
Damn!!! I’m a 3.0 student with B’s, C’s and a few A’s lol in my pre reqs. Trying to bump all my C’s into A’s
Thanks so much.. this information was so so helpful ❤
Can I go straight to RN without LPN and with No Degree?
Im insane I have like 5 prerequisites and 4 of them are science 😢.
Can you do a video on chemistry please I'm so nervous about it. Love your videos. P.s I know it's been awhile since you took chem but if you can give pointers and an idea of what to study I'll very much appreciated it❤
Hey there, I have NOTHING to offer about chemistry except take it with ‘easier’ classes or even on its own, get a tutor, do any and all extra credit or lil fluff assignments if they have them, so you can make up for tests you may score bad on. I had to take this class twice and get a tutor. It actually becomes interesting once you can dedicate enough time to it but boy oh boy if you get behind it’s hard to get back on track. Also, if you feel like you can’t get a B or better just withdraw (don’t wait too long to drop the class or it will drop your GPA, drop the class during the add drop period…if you have to). Do some research on the best teachers to take, you can try rate my professor or ask some of your classmates that may have taken it or your advisor. Good luck!!!
I been in a lccc college for too many years they took me into the program and scrub me; took me for the pm class and I can’t no so pm class because religion; they even care, at this point I’m the one lose time without applying somewhere else; thinking that others program won’t take me, because I have foreign curse.
English is my second language. Please wish me luck
"Drink your greens, Drink your greens hunny" we love Nurse B ❤
Thank you 🙏 you are the best ❤
My first and only classes for next semester is A&P 1 and A&P 1 with lab so its two classes. I was thinking about taking Psych with it but i heard A&P is so difficult i should just take it alone😭
I think it’s very smart to focus on A&P alone. This course is the backbone for nursing in general. You really need the info in this course so just take your time and really work on making it stick. Maybe do some easier classes like psych over the summer or as a half semester course of your school offers it.
But yea you are def doing the smart thing!
Is this for LPN also
It depends on the program you go to. My lpn program didn't take prereqs from otthwr schools and other schools didn't take their prereqs either. It was all buildt into the program.
This is the most helpful video I’ve watched so far! Thank you so much.
I’m so glad it helps
You....are.....the...BEST!!!🙄🙄🙄
Thank you
How do you feel about schools that offer , the prerequisites within the nursing program ? I just recently moved from Rhode Island where there was only about 4 nursing schools. Now I’m in Florida and there’s so many options and many of the schools will let you do them while in the program.
BE CAREFUL IN FLORIDA! Make sure the school is accredited
@@DevTheDudeRN yea I know , the schools I’m looking at are accredited , Jersey college, Rasmussen, and Galen.
Make sure the school is regionally accredited. My current situation, completed a program with prerequisites included, it's accredited, but not regionally so I have to complete prerequisites all over again for the next program.
@@nolabae okay , what’s the difference between regionally and nationally accredited?
Rasmussen….yes i’ve done some serious thinkin and researching bout them but they are so pricey.
plus look at all nurses reviews on them and the BBB on them…kind of made me pause however apparently each state is diff. ea program in each state.
Thanks for doing this video ! Also, any suggestions for getting into Teas testing without procrastinating🤦🏾♀️
Have you paid for it yet? To light a fire under me I always pay for my tests, that way I feel the pressure to start studying, cause you do not want to waste that money. It’s the first step on your next path, go ahead and take it.
I already have a bachelors in another field every school I try to go for the bachelors program they send me straight to the masters program nursing is hard and general and i don’t feel comfortable jumping straight into a masters I was in two lpn programs and left as that was hard I’m just trying to start on my prerequisites now and a community college is very hard for me any recommendations everyone is saying portage
Mine was called a accuplacer I scheduled but I only had 3 days to study but I passed reading, writing,and algebra all at college level! Knocked half a year of prerequisite classes 🎉 now I can start on the ones for the actual lpn-rn program
YES! I always tell people to take those placement tests seriously, they can save you SO much time and money. Good luck with those prereqs
I’m from Stl too! Thanks for sharing!
Any advice you can offer me? I am trying to get LPN? I am a Working mom with enough savings to take off a year and not work. Should I take loans go to school full time fast track LPN program and throw myself into it all the way or work part time/school part time? The job I’m at now pays for tuition reimbursement but I don’t think I can focus on school working as a mom.
Hi there, you could start off as part time and see how that goes and if need be you can quit to focus on school. If you can avoid loans that’s always great, but look at the numbers and see what’s best for you (maybe even consider paying half for school half with loans, you can also get financial aid too right?
Also check and see if they have a wioa program in your area. I know a lot of students got like $5,000-$10,000 to pay for school when they got into this wioa program. Also, remember that some jobs will offer tuition reimbursement once you graduate and get ur first nursing job.
Either way you won’t know what you can do until you do it, get in and see what you need to do as you go. It’s great that you have a good savings, you can do it!
Good luck!
Sorry if you answered this already. What GED books do you recommend to study for the placement tests?
I don't have a specific one I recommend, just make sure you do the practice exam and time yourself like you are taking the real test. Good luck!!
The jc colleges in Sacramento,ca go by gpa and not placement exams, but they still have pre reqs for the higher classes
I know it’s so competitive in Cali, but that pay!
these pre reqs are a painnnn
That's really half the battle, a lot of people can't make it through, but you got this!
5 years is wild
It was and if someone would have told me it would have taken that long I probably wouldn't have gone for it, but hey the time went by and now I'm done and working as a RN.
Thank you so much! I was confused on if I had to do prerequisites or not because I took calculus and science in high school but I’ve been out for almost 6 years lol and thank you for not rambling and getting straight to the point. I need to do my taxes and then apply for financial aid and I can start this journey. Thank you queen!
Good luck with everything, hopefully you can get through pre reqs quickly, they are one of those things that can take forever to get done but once you’re in the nursing program time flies.
Thanks for watching
Have anyone took rn associates program online? If so is it worth it❤ or any difference in person
Very helpful thank you
On point! Thank you!
Main reason why I'm going to Iowa is for Nursing School.
What’s going on with iowa nursing schools?
@@yourfavnurseb9699 Nothing special. I need a new environment. Somewhere with no distractions.
Thank you! ❤
U are so welcome. Good luck with everything
