I'm 16 and I'm lost. I wanted to be a doctor but I'm not down for all those years. I also want a family and i just don't see myself working like that and being on call etc. So I'm glad for you giving methis information
it's Kaceyy I’m 17 and pregnant.. I want to be a nurse so bad.. but you’re right about all those years. I’m not sure if I can do it with a baby but I’m gonna try. You have your whole life to start a family.. get those coins so you can take care of your family. I wanna see more black doctors 🥼
My college offered me guaranteed admission for their nursing program through a fast track program that I applied for in high school so definitely look out for that guys 💞
BrixChanel is there certain grades I️ would have to make in college in order to be eligible for that? I’m in my 3rd semester well almost in a few months
mariah milburn I’m going thru the same thing. I personally think it’s randomized and you MUST put nursing as your major when applying to your university.
Im 35 and i want a career change i have step 1 which is my GED .. ive beennin tge beauty firld but with coronavirus showing me how inessential i am im thinking hard about attending nursing school and becoming RN
Great content. Remember when looking at a ADN or BSN RN program. Look at your financial status, living stutation, accreditation of the school, the school NCLEX pass rate. I am a new grad RN with a ADN. In my state I got a position working in ICU at a large magnet hospital. Plus the hospital will pay for me to get my BSN. I have a friend in the same state and we work at the same hospital. They are RN with BSN and works on Med-Surg floor. They are 60K in debt and make about a dollar more than me. Remember nursing school is hard. Not everyone is successful in the nursing program. Please do your research and pick a program that fits you. STAY ON YOUR gRiNd.
@@keritzaf6346 I am not sure about L/D because that's not my area..However the hospital where I work does hire RNs with ADN in L/D. The incentive pay as a new grad BSN is only a dollar more. Contact your hospital HR department. They will be able to answer your questions..remember every state and hospital has different criteria..
Hi there! I’m in SC too and considering going into the nursing field. There’s several schools near me that offer the ADN program and I was wondering if you would recommend that? I’m currently in college for another degree and realize that’s not what I want anymore. But I also can’t afford to be in school for another 3-4 years doing the BSN. Do you think ADN would be a good route? I’ve heard so many people tell me that nowadays most places only hire BSNs so I’m nervous
Bless your heart! Seriously , you are precious. I'm over 25 and just figured out what I want to do with my life. I wish I had the motivation to figure it out when I was young. It's better to get the school part done in your 20s.
I also recommend taking AP classes in high school for chemistry etc it will take off your prerequisite loads Also if you work in a different career or couldn’t get in you can turn your bachelors into a nursing masters degree in accelerated nursing program. You also can become a LPN and turn that into a bachelors... You can also take your prerequisites at a technical school to save money and then apply to universities nursing school
Yes more hospitals are moving towards hiring more BSN nurses, but feel out the area you live in. I live in rural Maine and i have my ADN, the new grads I was hired with that have their BSN only make 50 cents/hr more than I do. I think as long as you stress that you plan on going back to school in your interviews, you have a pretty good chance getting hired with an ADN! Also, you enter the work force sooner and most employers will pay you to go back to school. Once i go for my BSN i can do it all online too!
I graduated with my ASN 3 years ago after a 16 month program & getting a job as a new grad was thankfully a LOT easier than I thought it was going to be. Getting a job in specialty areas like Peds, NICU, Mother Baby, L&D is damn near impossible without a BSN, period. Have you applied for your multi state license? That’s the compact licensure you were referring to. I believe Texas is a compact state. Useful for anyone looking to do travel nursing.
At my school you can get your CNA senior year of high school which is what I want to do but the classes are small and split between 3 schools soooo fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Actually, “diploma nursing” aka LPN isn’t being “phased out.” There are quite a few LPN programs in the surrounding area in which I live. LPN’s in my area can work pretty much anywhere that an RN can. I just don’t like that people aren’t considering LPN’s nurses anymore. I’m currently waiting to get into an LPN program, then plan on bridging to RN when I get to that point.
Gunner Carter it’s because LPNS are practical nurses meaning that they still aren’t real nurses. Just like one step behind. And they make way less money due to them having less responsibilities
Actually I think what she meant by diploma nursing is a program where you can obtain a actual diploma in nursing, not LPN. I heard of one hospital in CT that had it, the program just closed in 2017. So it is being phased out
LPNs are being phased out in many states. Programs lie and say LPNs can work anywhere an RN can and do everything an RN can do. It’s all fluff to sell an extremely expensive 1yr diploma, which if you think about it, isn’t actually worth the weak salary and workload. If you want to be an LPN take it for what it is or you’ll be extremely disappointed.
Picture Girl Lpn are not being phased out they work in LTC, Home Care, Doctor Office, Prison, Jail, and Mental Health faculty. I know LPNs and LVN who make good money. Diploma nurse do the same course as regular RN; then they go to hospital for Nursing school. After that program you can do you BSN in 12-16 months
I was wondering if it’s possible to get my prerequisites at a community college then transfer to a university to get my bsn? Then I would go to nursing school right?
Yes you can do pre reqs at a community college they will transfer over to a university. After Pre reqs (if you’re trying to get in to nursing school) you will have to take the HESI entrance exam and then you can start a nursing program. I recommend getting an ADN so you can get licensed as an RN then transfer to a university to get a BSN which makes school and life easier lol. That’s what I’m doing (: hope this helped.
Yup. I recommend applying to both BSN and ADN programs to increase your chances of getting in somewhere. Nursing is impacted (at least in california) and you need to get in where you can. Good luck as you begin your journey.
I'm going into my junior year in high school and I just found out that my school has an Anatomy and physiology class so I'm definitely taking that class my senior year, thank you Alexis 💜
i’m literally a sophomore and want to be in the medical field and i love watching your videos to give me so much advice your so helpful and i love that you explain everything!!
Itzabel Vargas You can look up different colleges, there’s more than one school who have this program. Sometimes some schools won’t have this program for BSN but will have it for MSN, it depends on the school and if you have previous nursing school experience and are transferring or you’re done and just going back to get a higher education, it all depends so definitely look into it. 😊
This is a big question that I had and it really helped . I’m in high school and my mind is set on being a nurse . Your such an inspiration and your videos help so much you don’t even know 🤗💖
Great points! I'd definitely recommend getting a job in the healthcare field, department specific if you can, at any point prior or even during nursing school. Whether that be a transporter, unit coordinator, receptionist, medical records, nursing assistant, etc, etc. Even if it's a couple hours a week. Volunteer if you're able to. Being in the atmosphere of the hospital is invaluable experience you just WON'T get from school, and it will give you a definite LEG UP throughout the program. Once you graduate, you've already established a, hopefully good ;), reputation somewhere-- and landing a job should be a breeze. Just be sure not to carry bad habits you may observe in the hospital/facility OVER into nursing school, as the didactic curriculum will expect you to answer 'by the book.' Thanks so much for taking the time to explain all of this Lexi. It's EXTREMELY important information for prospective nurses!
The diploma or certificate applies to Practical Nurses, and as a soon to be LPN myself we are MOST certainly needed and are not phasing out. Anyone wanting to be a nurse but because of time, finances or family/work balance Practical Nursing offers a solid foundation to create a career.
Susie Says So I agree, i'm in nursing school in Texas to become a LVN. There are a plethora of jobs here in the Dallas area. The job my cousin works at as a lvn pays her 33/hr and she has a company car. Not everyone wants to work in a hospital setting!
lasondra wolf I agree love. The hospitals in my area are becoming over saturated due to the amount of new nurse grads, largely because a lot of hospitals offer the RN program and students hope to just go right to work there. The hospital setting is GREAT for gaining knowledge and experience but there are so many other avenues to consider as well.
Susie Says So I'm going to start my rn program in a month.Forty years ago when I passed my lpn nclex they said they were phasing out lpns.Guess what? We're still here!
I know here in the Dallas area that the nurse shortage is real! I wish people stop making it seem like lvn/lpn are not nurses. We take the NCLEX too! I personally don't want to work in a hospital cause I value my time. Like I said my cousin is a travel lvn nurse and she makes more then some of the RNs she work with. Anybody can get a degree but experience is priceless! BTW here the only thing lvn can't do is make a care plan or administer drugs via iv. But everything else is pretty much a go.
I would like to add that 7:40 when you say you can “only work as a nurse in Florida” that Florida is a member of the eNLC. AKA: the licensure for Florida is actually usable in other compact states. Some states are non-compact, however, as of January 19th, 2018, the eNLC was implemented and Florida (the license you received) is apart of this. Therefore, you are actually able to practice and travel in all compact states as a registered nurse. Please like this for the information.
Just to name a few... If you like to smell poop all day, then go for it. If you enjoy saving a life and get cussed out by that very person, then go for it. If you like to be under staffed and under paid...go for it. You can have it, there are better ways to make a living. RN
Wait I'm confused? Is "nursing school" just the nursing program your university offers? Or is it at a different institution? I want to get into nursing but im in my junior year of college in criminal justice... can I go to nursing school after getting my bachelors? I can't chang my major to nursing rn because I would literally have to start over lol
The only requirement for nursing school would be to get your prerequisites done. Usually the prereqs are physiology, anatomy, stats, chem, and microbiology. Some nursing programs require more, like calculus. Doesn’t matter if you have ur bachelors already or not, u still need to take these specific classes to get into nursing program. So yes, u can get ur bachelors, and still get into nursing school but u have to take the pre reqs, too. Hope I helped, possibly? :)
I finished my pre-reqs all A's only one B+, Currently studying for the entrance exam and I'm FREAKING out :( can somebody give me any tips for the NLN ?
I️ have a question I’m at a 2 year college 2nd/3rd semester for nursing but I️ wanted to start as a pediatric nurse I️ actually want to be a Pediatrician I️ graduated high school with a child care certification is it possible that it will be easier for me to get into pediatric nursing or harder? And any advice? I️ want to take on a few titles though. And can you do a video on what a nursing resume for applying to certain positions should look like and questions that will be asked during an interview?
mariah milburn Hi Mariah truthfully if you apply to hospitals that have opening or even Dr. Offices you can be a Pediatric nurse on the Peds floor or in an office. I believe it depends on what positions are open during the time of your graduation, but like she said start early you got this
When I applied for college, I put my major down as nursing and they accepted me as a first year. Not every college will do this depending on your grades though. I start my 1st year of college in the fall 😋
I’m thinking about becoming a RN after I finish my pharmacy technician certificate especially since I’m literally taking the same classes you need to get into the RN program
Helo! I am an aspiring nursing student from the Philippines! Please make more videos because your videos inspires me to pursue nursing kn the nerar future! I just have a question. Can you take a master's degree in nursing if you're already a RN? my plan is to work first so that i can save money to get my master's degree. is that possible? and can you still practice nursing at a hospital and be a nurse educator at the same time? Thank you very much! All the love from the Philippines ! Mabuhay!
7:28 Transferring your RN license to from state to state, may not be as complicated as you may think. Thanks to the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). ... Nurses will have the ability to practice in both their home state and other states that participate in the NLC.
Omg!! Yessssss my girl is back thank God lol I'm so happy I just walked out of work to see a notification saying you posted a video. This made my day and the fact that it is even a step-by-step way to become a RN makes it even better since I'm on the road to becoming one.
Some community colleges are teaming up with their local state colleges in a dual enrollment program, meaning you can apply and enroll to get your ADN at the community college and your BSN through the other state colleges via online at the same time, saving a lot of time and money. I know MD colleges have done this, not too sure about other states.
I have a low gpa from high school and ive been out of high school for 3 months but I’m becoming a medical assistant in tech college will this help my nursing chances ??
therealdess ٤ hs shouldn’t even matter lmao. It’s how you do in community college. Tip don’t waste time doing CMA, I did this at a tech college, long story short got in debit, CMA pay is trash. Now I’m applying to the nursing program this year. It’s really impossible to work as a CMA and do community college since you’re obligated to be there in class.
This video was very informative but I wish you went into more details of the different pathways to becoming a nurse because not everyone decides to be a nurse from high school. You didn't talk about ABSN programs or maters of entry programs and those are very helpful for people who already have a bachelors degree not in nursing.
I need some advice! I just graduated high school and don’t know how to get recommendations letters if I’m not in school. I’m the first to graduate in my family and regret not getting help since I thought for the longest time I wanted to join the military. What should I do??
You can get your adn, qualify to become a rn. For 2 years. Then find a school that offers rn to bsn program. That usually takes up about 1 year. So instead of going straight to get a bsn.
Omg i really wanna be a nurse but im so dumb 🥺 when i study I forgot the stuff lol😂plus if you are just starting to learn English is really hard someone help me if has the same as me
I am a 31 year old sahm of two. A four year old and two year old. I have been thinking a lot lately that I really wanna get my ged and then go into nursing.
I start my program in the fall and I’m super nervous....sometimes I doubt my capabilities did you ever go through that? From what I’ve seen so far (during cpr training and scrub fittings) my cohort is not necessarily people that i could see myself ever really collaborating with outside of school. It makes me feel self conscious!
Karla Membreno first complete prerequisites in college, apply to nursing school, pass nursing school entrance exam, graduate nursing school, pass nclex get licensed, apply to a job in that specialty and then the hospital will train you. But you could’ve googled that lol
Karla Membreno once you have your BSN, work for a couple years as an RN so you gain experience. Then you can apply to masters degree or DNP programs with a focus in midwifery
I'm about to be a high school senior, and the reality of life is hitting me right now. I'm Filipino, and if you already didn't know, Filipinos are stereotypically all nurses. All my life, I rejected nursing as a career, but now I have come to a realization that it is something I want to pursue. If I think AP courses are hard, I am in for a ride becoming a registered nurse. Thank you for this video.
Do you know anything about getting a license in another state? I'm in my last 2 years of nursing school in nc. I plan on moving in with my boyfriend after I graduate. He is in the military (currently in Virginia). Any advice would be appreciated.
Ok I’m soooo confused how do you take prerequisites? Do I apply to a nursing program like a BSN one after high school? Do all programs have a direct admin? Could you tell me if the University of Florida has it?
I m from India and i have done by bsn and also done IELTS scored 6.5 overall. Want to do my masters in Melbourne,australia. Can u plzzzzzzzzzzz suggest me a better college where i can get my registration done easily?
Hi, I love your videos and I also want to become an RN but I'm still struggling on what to major in , so with that being said what did you major in while in college?
Has anybody here done direct admit nursing schools or know how to get into those? I am a High school junior at the moment but have a 4.2 gpa a decent act score but idk what else I should do to get into. I live in Texas but don’t know if there more I should to to get into direct admit?
Hey I’m 18 and I just graduated from Highschool I enlisted into the army but when I went to basic training I got medically discharged but before I wanted to become a RN nurse but I’m lost I feel dumb that won’t be able to do it
What if I’m doing my prereqs but I’m not in an ADN program? I’m planning to transfer to an upper division program to get my bsn but should I get my ADN first or just straight to bsn?
Hi question so in total if going the traditional route how long does it take to be an RN if you are about to graduate Highschool and have to get your BSN and then go to nursing school. To get your BSN & graduate nursing school Is it 4 years or 6 years? thank you
So im a junior in high school and i want to become a pediatric nurse practioner. After high school i plan to go to a community college and if i did my 2 years there after my 2 years id become a RN? Then apply to nursing school?
I'm 16 and I'm lost. I wanted to be a doctor but I'm not down for all those years. I also want a family and i just don't see myself working like that and being on call etc. So I'm glad for you giving methis information
Kacey-Ann Moulton maybe consider becoming a nurse practitioner!
alyssa yeah! I'll consider that
You can look into physician assistant
How do you want to be a Doctor and have a relaxed life. Maybe medicine is not for you. You don't seem wanting to work hard for your white coat.
it's Kaceyy I’m 17 and pregnant.. I want to be a nurse so bad.. but you’re right about all those years. I’m not sure if I can do it with a baby but I’m gonna try. You have your whole life to start a family.. get those coins so you can take care of your family. I wanna see more black doctors 🥼
My college offered me guaranteed admission for their nursing program through a fast track program that I applied for in high school so definitely look out for that guys 💞
BrixChanel is there certain grades I️ would have to make in college in order to be eligible for that? I’m in my 3rd semester well almost in a few months
BrixChanel wow you’re blessed baby girl! Lol
mariah milburn I’m going thru the same thing. I personally think it’s randomized and you MUST put nursing as your major when applying to your university.
Step 1: GED Step 2: 2 years of prerequisites. Step 3: apply for nursing program Step 4: 2 years of nursing education and graduate. Step 5: NCLEX
can any of those steps be completed simultaneously? Whats the difference between a nursing program and the 2 year of nursing education?
Robert Green nursing program is faster
Im 35 and i want a career change i have step 1 which is my GED .. ive beennin tge beauty firld but with coronavirus showing me how inessential i am im thinking hard about attending nursing school and becoming RN
I'm finishing my associates of science degree this year. how do I get an ADN, or where do I apply for a nursing program?
@@jawbone6907 how is it?
can you do a video of literally how your interview went?? like the questions that were asked and how you answered?
Shannon Creech Have you seen the interview videos that she already posted? I believe she has 2 posted.
Great content. Remember when looking at a ADN or BSN RN program. Look at your financial status, living stutation, accreditation of the school, the school NCLEX pass rate. I am a new grad RN with a ADN. In my state I got a position working in ICU at a large magnet hospital. Plus the hospital will pay for me to get my BSN.

If i can ask what area or state do you live in ? because I also might have to get my adn instead of bsn due to many schools long waitlists.
Kaylee Cruz in am in SC.
Is it possible to work in L&D with a ADN and how did you manage to get same pay as your co worker with BSN

Just passed nclex! Now tackling my resume, any tips on what it should look like or anything?? (possible video on this? lol)
Anjali N Any tips or topics the nclex really touched on? Was there a million meds? Im going into last year of nursing school
Everyone's exam is different but mine barely had meds. Focused more on prevention. Start studying a bit from now!
Can you please share studying tips for NCLEX
hey it’s been 3 years… how are you doing, how is nursing

Do it sis! I knew I wanted to be a nurse at 8, I’m 23 and start nursing school tomorrow. If it’s your passion, go for it.
aye same im 13 nd know i wanna be a nurse to help people
slimblackfbc ok
I also recommend taking AP classes in high school for chemistry etc it will take off your prerequisite loads
Also if you work in a different career or couldn’t get in you can turn your bachelors into a nursing masters degree in accelerated nursing program. You also can become a LPN and turn that into a bachelors...
You can also take your prerequisites at a technical school to save money and then apply to universities nursing school

Do you still want to be a nurse?
senior now I'm a sophmore..update?
The nursing school I’m going to the BSN program is 2 years, and when I get my BSN I’m going back for another 2 years to get my Masters in Nursing
What school is this ?
Itzabel Vargas You can look up different colleges, there’s more than one school who have this program. Sometimes some schools won’t have this program for BSN but will have it for MSN, it depends on the school and if you have previous nursing school experience and are transferring or you’re done and just going back to get a higher education, it all depends so definitely look into it. 😊
BSN for two years wow 🤔 crave to that school.
its mean she already took her 3 years programs so she will get to the next step for 2years in another school to fill her bsn program
I got my GED and I'm trying to go to college for RN.
Im trying to do the same thing
Same here😊
Same here, but I don't know if I have to go for my ADN or if I can go for my BSN... lol the school I'm looking at isn't very clear.
Did anyone have to take the TEAS Exam ? if so what are some good study habits i’m in need of help!!!

I personally don't want to work in a hospital cause I value my time. Like I said my cousin is a travel lvn nurse and she makes more then some of the RNs she work with. Anybody can get a degree but experience is priceless! BTW here the only thing lvn can't do is make a care plan or administer drugs via iv. But everything else is pretty much a go.
I wanted to be a RN ever since I was 5, 16 now and still want to be one, I will strive to become one, you are so inspirational I love it😊.
Updates?
@@isabellacastillo3315 I’m actually studying to become a personal injury lawyer now haha!
It’s smart to actually get your ASN before BSN, work while you are getting your BSN, that will get you some experience to add on to your resume
I suck at math but I love science and all that stuff
I would like to add that 7:40 when you say you can “only work as a nurse in Florida” that Florida is a member of the eNLC. AKA: the licensure for Florida is actually usable in other compact states. Some states are non-compact, however, as of January 19th, 2018, the eNLC was implemented and Florida (the license you received) is apart of this. Therefore, you are actually able to practice and travel in all compact states as a registered nurse. Please like this for the information.
Just to name a few...
If you like to smell poop all day, then go for it.
If you enjoy saving a life and get cussed out by that very person, then go for it.
If you like to be under staffed and under paid...go for it.
You can have it, there are better ways to make a living.
RN
I start the nursing program next month and I’m so nervous 😩😩😩
ebonirice43 🙋🏼♀️me 2. Im so scared 😔
I start in September! I'm nervous but so excited! 😄
Same 😬
I feel you girl, I start in January and I am still picturing it all, and yet at the same time I can't help but be excited
I have orientation tomorrow 😩😭
If I get my degree in California then move to another state for example like Las Vegas Navada. Would my degree still let me work over there ?
Wait I'm confused? Is "nursing school" just the nursing program your university offers? Or is it at a different institution? I want to get into nursing but im in my junior year of college in criminal justice... can I go to nursing school after getting my bachelors? I can't chang my major to nursing rn because I would literally have to start over lol
Jennifer Aileen I hope someone answers. I am In the same boat.
The only requirement for nursing school would be to get your prerequisites done. Usually the prereqs are physiology, anatomy, stats, chem, and microbiology. Some nursing programs require more, like calculus. Doesn’t matter if you have ur bachelors already or not, u still need to take these specific classes to get into nursing program. So yes, u can get ur bachelors, and still get into nursing school but u have to take the pre reqs, too. Hope I helped, possibly? :)
i liked before i even watched because i knew it was going to be super amazing- like all of your other videos. you’re my #1 inspiration! love ya 💗
I finished my pre-reqs all A's only one B+, Currently studying for the entrance exam and I'm FREAKING out :( can somebody give me any tips for the NLN ?
I loved this so much!!!❤️❤️🤗😍 The beginning was everything!! Haha ❤️❤️❤️
Im 12 and I want to become a Registered Nurse
I️ have a question I’m at a 2 year college 2nd/3rd semester for nursing but I️ wanted to start as a pediatric nurse I️ actually want to be a Pediatrician I️ graduated high school with a child care certification is it possible that it will be easier for me to get into pediatric nursing or harder? And any advice? I️ want to take on a few titles though. And can you do a video on what a nursing resume for applying to certain positions should look like and questions that will be asked during an interview?
mariah milburn Hi Mariah truthfully if you apply to hospitals that have opening or even Dr. Offices you can be a Pediatric nurse on the Peds floor or in an office. I believe it depends on what positions are open during the time of your graduation, but like she said start early you got this
Cati Baby Thank you very much Cati
She has a mix of Chantelle and Catherine Paiz all together😍.
When I applied for college, I put my major down as nursing and they accepted me as a first year. Not every college will do this depending on your grades though. I start my 1st year of college in the fall 😋
I’m thinking about becoming a RN after I finish my pharmacy technician certificate especially since I’m literally taking the same classes you need to get into the RN program
Helo! I am an aspiring nursing student from the Philippines! Please make more videos because your videos inspires me to pursue nursing kn the nerar future! I just have a question. Can you take a master's degree in nursing if you're already a RN? my plan is to work first so that i can save money to get my master's degree. is that possible? and can you still practice nursing at a hospital and be a nurse educator at the same time? Thank you very much!
All the love from the Philippines ! Mabuhay!
7:28 Transferring your RN license to from state to state, may not be as complicated as you may think. Thanks to the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). ... Nurses will have the ability to practice in both their home state and other states that participate in the NLC.
Omg!! Yessssss my girl is back thank God lol I'm so happy I just walked out of work to see a notification saying you posted a video. This made my day and the fact that it is even a step-by-step way to become a RN makes it even better since I'm on the road to becoming one.
Can you do a video on what to put on your resume once you finish nursing school?
What should you major in for college if you want to be a nurse?
Some community colleges are teaming up with their local state colleges in a dual enrollment program, meaning you can apply and enroll to get your ADN at the community college and your BSN through the other state colleges via online at the same time, saving a lot of time and money. I know MD colleges have done this, not too sure about other states.
Damn you’re gorgeous. 😍 Pretty and smart.
I have a low gpa from high school and ive been out of high school for 3 months but I’m becoming a medical assistant in tech college will this help my nursing chances ??
therealdess ٤ hs shouldn’t even matter lmao. It’s how you do in community college. Tip don’t waste time doing CMA, I did this at a tech college, long story short got in debit, CMA pay is trash. Now I’m applying to the nursing program this year. It’s really impossible to work as a CMA and do community college since you’re obligated to be there in class.
I’m on high school and I want to take AP classes but I’m not cut out for it sadly
isterp fara it be like that :/
This video was very informative but I wish you went into more details of the different pathways to becoming a nurse because not everyone decides to be a nurse from high school. You didn't talk about ABSN programs or maters of entry programs and those are very helpful for people who already have a bachelors degree not in nursing.
I need some advice! I just graduated high school and don’t know how to get recommendations letters if I’m not in school. I’m the first to graduate in my family and regret not getting help since I thought for the longest time I wanted to join the military. What should I do??
You can get your adn, qualify to become a rn. For 2 years. Then find a school that offers rn to bsn program. That usually takes up about 1 year. So instead of going straight to get a bsn.
You look exactly like the girl from season 3 of love is blind!!!! Raven :) seriously. The resemblance is crazy!
Am currently doing my nursing degree, and they phasing out the associates in 2020, so I will be doing a dual major so I can get my BSN faster.
CHECK OUT ANY GAP PROGRAM OFFERED BY HIGH SCHOOL FRFR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m going to be a senior this year and really want to be a nurse and this really helped me 🙏🏽
Update?

Anyone here completed RN after LPN.? I heard we can study online and get degree. Can someone explain that..?

I start my program in the fall and I’m super nervous....sometimes I doubt my capabilities did you ever go through that? From what I’ve seen so far (during cpr training and scrub fittings) my cohort is not necessarily people that i could see myself ever really collaborating with outside of school. It makes me feel self conscious!
How do you become a pediatric nurse, er nurse or like a midwife nurse?
Karla Membreno first complete prerequisites in college, apply to nursing school, pass nursing school entrance exam, graduate nursing school, pass nclex get licensed, apply to a job in that specialty and then the hospital will train you. But you could’ve googled that lol
Karla Membreno once you have your BSN, work for a couple years as an RN so you gain experience. Then you can apply to masters degree or DNP programs with a focus in midwifery
I'm about to be a high school senior, and the reality of life is hitting me right now. I'm Filipino, and if you already didn't know, Filipinos are stereotypically all nurses. All my life, I rejected nursing as a career, but now I have come to a realization that it is something I want to pursue. If I think AP courses are hard, I am in for a ride becoming a registered nurse. Thank you for this video.

Hey I’m 18 and I just graduated from Highschool I enlisted into the army but when I went to basic training I got medically discharged but before I wanted to become a RN nurse but I’m lost I feel dumb that won’t be able to do it
What if I’m doing my prereqs but I’m not in an ADN program? I’m planning to transfer to an upper division program to get my bsn but should I get my ADN first or just straight to bsn?
So... what advice would you have for a 33 year old trying to start her life over by changing careers that hasnt been in school for 12 years.....
