I thought my journey to nursing school was over my first semester of college when I failed literally every class I took. I was honestly a terrible student in high school, I was one of those people that just didn’t put the time in. I took a semester off and thought I was going to go and do cosmetology or something like that because there was NO way someone like me would be accepted into nursing school. But then I went back, got A’s and B’s in all of my classes, and I’m starting my program at the end of this month! IT IS POSSIBLE. If you are reading this and you’ve been putting yourself down over not getting the grades you need or whatever it may be, it’s okay. YOU CAN DO THIS.
Wow I really needed to read this today!! I totally bombed my final A&P lab practical today and cried like a baby when I got to my car! Tomorrow is the final in A&P lecture and I'll probably fail that too.😢 I've been studying SOOOO hard for A&P but I can't pass the exams for anything and its so frustrating! Its so hard and I'm so afraid I won't get accepted into the RN program. Next semester I take A&P 2 so maybe I'll do better in there. Anyway sorry for the long post lol but thanks for what you ssid even though it wasnt written specifically for me, its definitely what I needed to hear!
Jessica Michelle good luck on your test just have faith
@@emilys9498 Thank you 😊
Made me cry with your motivation! Thank you ladies 😭♥️
This is LITERALLY my situation rn and this helped me so much. I did horrible in hs so i almost feel like i wasn’t ready for college. So I’m gonna take a semester break or take 1-2 classes. Tysm
Preach. 🙌🏼 It took me 7 years to get my BA (many years ago) and it really got me down. Now here I am, over a decade later, back at city college taking pre-reqs so I can get in to nursing school. If I can get in, I’ll be over 40 by the time I’m actually an RN. There is no timeline other than your own, don’t compare and just keep going.
Im 28 and getting bummed cause I'm competing with girls who knew what they wanted at the age of 16... But your absolutely right. No timeline other than your own. Everyone has their own journey.... Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for posting this. I'm 36 preparing to take my prereqs to apply a second degree BSN program. I keep thinking that I'm so behind and old for starting another career. But as you said, I'm not competing with anyone other than myself. I'm blessed to have a family and supporting husband.
It's never too late darling. I'm 30 and most of my high school classmates have already become nurses or have masters degrees and I feel so behind. I'm holding on to faith that I will become successful too and I stop watching others time line, I'm loving my own life in my own race.
Reading this has given me so much hope ! Thank you guys !
Sierra Elizabeth You go girl!
Definitely me! You do not need to have all A’s to get into Nursing school. Anatomy and microbiology are hard and I have failed an embarrassing amount of classes. I thought I wasn’t smart enough to become a nurse and I would never get in nursing school. My GPA isn’t the worst but it isn’t the best, definitely not a 4.0 and after failing all of those classes and retaking them( I still did not get all A’s but the minimum grades required to get in) I just validated for Nursing School the other day! I feel like I’d always watch people videos on RUclips about their journeys to becoming a nurse and how they’ve never failed a class and got all A’s, it really brought me down. Even though that can happen, some people just aren’t the best students and have to study 10X harder than another people and somehow still get a worse grade. It’s an unrealistic expectation for everyone to have a 4.0 and I’m here to tell you, don’t give up because you will get into Nursing School even without straight A’s☺️
Elizabeth Castanier it depends where you are in my college and many others in New York City if you have anything less than A or a couple Bs your application will not even be looked at , for anyone reading this just make sure you do your research on different programs
Can you please share what school you got into? Or dm me or something? 😩
Elizabeth thank you for being so real!!! this made me get back up. I was recently NOT accepted from the school that I applied RN program at. I was devastated because my GPA was 3.48 and passed my HESI, they said my HESI score wasn't high enough. I was so frustrated that I want to switch majors, but reading your story made me think and feel a little better. Hope you're doing well at school or whatever you're pursuing.
This is the exact thought on my mind “not smart enough for nursing” then I remember if I was able to pass the science classes when I gave it my A then yes I can do this “With God ALL things at possible” I just need to stop listening to the doubt in my head.
💕
I graduated high school with a 1.5 gpa.... and I got my associates degree with a 3.1.. I don’t know how but, I am currently a nursing student 😂 if I can get in then ANYONE can get in. Don’t give up!
What did you get your associates degree in. Can you expand on your career path to becoming a nurse?
@@karlarios5609 I got an Associates in Arts just by taking all my nursing prerequisites at a community college and then once I was done I started applying. I looked for nursing schools that had a low gpa requirement. My school required a minimum of 2.7 GPA, and my gpa was 3.1 so as long as you did good on your TEA test for entry then I was good.
@@jccoss5052 Could you tell me what college that is? The community college I am attending is highly competitive to get into a nursing program,even tho the requirement GPA minimum is only 2.75 but there's a lot of people are applying for the program.
@@AK-fh4qq hi! Don’t know where you live but I graduated from palm beach state college in south Florida with my associates and recently graduated South University located in west palm beach Florida with my Bachelor in nursing. Not competitive at all to get in. It is a private school so the tuition is a bit higher than a community college. But as long as your grades are ok. You’re almost guaranteed in. Good luck!
How’d you “graduate” high school if you had a 1.5 GPA?
I got a C+ in anatomy, and now I’m starting nursing school in September 2018 😊
Lourene Oseguera how are you doing in nursing school?
I hope I get at least this letter grade for A&P2 🤧
Whatttt
She probably paid to get into private school or placed high on the entrance exam
That is so good to hear omg I’m in Anatomy now and this class is no joke 😆
Seeing all the success stories in the comments in encouraging me so much. I'm starting nursing school next month, but I struggled SOOOOO much with my prerequisites, and I don't feel smart enough to be able to actually get through nursing school. Thank you for this video.
Did you have to retake classes to get into the nursing program? Or did you apply based on your original prerequisites?
LadyAmour I only retook anatomy because I failed that class, but I kept my original grades for everything else
How's nursing school going?
Why is it that I came across this video right when I started to think about another career path cuz I’m failing anatomy? Lol... 🙃
Victoria Nunez dude saaaaaame i be crying everyday😩
Omg, same! I think I may not pass Anatomy, but after watching this video I realized I just gotta keep going!
bro fr bc ive been crying the past couple days bc i failed ap1 lab
Don't give up. You can do it
Update: I ended up getting a C... Sigh... I am going to go ahead and retake it. I’m not giving up! Best of luck to all of you. ☺️
I had almost an identical experience. My first two and a half years of school I did horrible. I thought I had no choice but to change my major because i thought I’d never get into a nursing program. I changed my major for a semester and fell into a huge slump because I knew I wanted to be a nurse. I also had a “coming to Jesus” moment and was like “you know what, i know i want to be a nurse so i’m gonna do it” and I worked my ass off in school to raise my grades. They still weren’t anywhere near perfect, BUT I just accepted into an amazing BSN program in my area!! TRUST ME, if i can do it, anyone can!! ❤️ if this is what you really want to do: do not give up!
t m 🙏🏾
Yessss
Thank you for this comment 🙏
I appreciate you sharing your journey✊🏽‼️
Amen
Its funny you say that cause for me it was quite the opposite. In high school, I was always failing and didnt even graduate. Five years later I returned to school and got my GED in college. Now I am graduating from the nursing program and from college with honors. My explanation for this? I hated school, I never before cared for it at all. I didnt think I was smart or good at school, but I was wrong.After high school I worked in hard and low income jobs until I realized I needed to get an education. Get a true career and make good money. I went back to school and got my GED. This time I actually cared about school and Ive done an outstanding job. So, if I can do that, anyone can. If you care and you do what you gotta do, you will succeed.
yes!!!!
I’m close to get my GED, I come from Mexico i have to start from 0 because the lenguaje I been working at low pay jobs for 5 years now I know what I want and it help me and motivate me a lot read testimonials and watch videos from people that get through the hard and longer road. Thanks 🙏
I failed my first anatomy and physiology class and felt so bad about myself, then retook it and passed. I thought "how could i be a nurse when i cant even pass A&P." Went onto A&P 2 and passed for some reason it was a lot easier for me. Now im starting my nursing classes next semester!
Everything you said was what I am dealing with. "I'm not smart enough", I don't know how many times I have thought that. I am so happy I watched this video. I am good enough and I am confident.
I’m failing A&P right now so I really needed this❤️
I am like this as well. I made a C in A&P 1 and I failed A&P 2 because the teacher I had was so hard and was very detailed when it came to her tests. I was so sad and really thought about changing my major. I decided to still be a nursing major and I took A&P 2 again and I made an A!!!! I studied my butt off and when I made an A in Anatomy, I knew there was a chance that I could get into the nursing program. I’m currently in microbiology and I have a B. I’m gonna try hella hard to make an A but if I make a B, then I’ll still be happy. I’m glad u said that there is nothing wrong with graduating a year late. I feel like ppl try to graduate on time because they don’t want to graduate late, and end up messing things up for them. I apply in August because I want to take my time and study for the hesi in August.. Hopefully I get in!
Stephanie Ekezie did you make it in?
I know this is a old video but I just got accepted after so many battles trying to get into nursing school. Your testimony is so beautiful! Literally almost made me cry lol
Girl yess. I was so devastated when things didn't go my way and it was going to take me longer to graduate. But I feel like the journey helped me grow as a person and now I'm going to graduate from my RN program this December 😊
Breezy Bri congratulation girl I wish you all the best in life
Congrats!!✌
Lexi is right - I graduated high school in 2012, went to three different colleges, had no idea what I wanted to do and eventually dropped out. It's now 2019 and I just decided to go into nursing school and started this semester and I won't graduate until December of 2021, almost 10 years after I graduated high school. I get down on myself sometimes for this but everyone does things in their own time and everyone follows their own path - there's no "normal". Do what's best for you!
Me and my Bestie both applied for two Schools of Nursing. I finished A&P I and II, Psychology, and Microbiology with a 4.0. I graduated 4th in a class of 189 in HS, and he had 3.4 in Prereq’s. My ACT 28, his 19. He got into the preferred program, I got into my second choice.
Point, the interview, confidence, and social skills/life experience are very important in the process. I don’t care what their point system says.
I honestly teared up a little bit watching this because I feel like maybe it's not meant for me to become a nurse. I try to motivate myself to push harder in my classes but Anatomy has me stressed out like crazy! & I'm just so anxious to get into nursing school already. Thank you so much for making this video! You're an inspiration to me!
Just an update guys: I ended up passing Anatomy & Physiology with a B+ 😄
Currently taking A&P and I’m struggling 😭
_shesatiger I’m struggling with AnP2 right now and I have to apply in June 😩
_shesatiger im taking it this semester 😭 any advice?
I’m taking A&P1 and I’m feeling like I won’t be able to pass it 😭😭😭😭
Here I am almost crying studying for my final knowing I'll probably get a B. So thank you ❤
Hannah Mason my final is tomorrow at 8 am and I have been stressing all day but have no motivation to keep studying 😔
Hannah Mason good luck on your final ❤❤❤
NEEDED to watch this. Please do more of these kinds of videos!
Girl I've been binge watching your videos. I'm doing all my prereqs right now and im in A&P 1 now averaging 85 its hard work. But if all goes well and God willingly i get accepted i will start fall 2019. I've been in a community college off & on since 2010. I have 3 kids 2 which are toddlers so you can imagine the stress im in. My dad is also sick and undergoing chemo. But im pushing through it all. Your videos are very motivating thanks.
HelloWilzy good luck! I really really hope that your father will get better, you’re in my prayers, and so is he.
Wow, I'm sending prayers your way, good luck with everything. You are SO strong for continuing to fight through. Your hard work WILL pay off.
Wow! Same here. I have been going to college since 2011 on and off again due to the ups and downs and being a single mom of 2. I know exactly how you feel! I am finishing up my pre-reqs right now, and hopefully I too will be applying in the Fall of 2019 to go to Nursing school. God has called me to be a nurse so I will never give up! Keep pushing; I know it's hard, but we will get there! God Bless!
I hope your Dad gets well soon. Hang in there!!! Everything will pass and your hard work will pay off! You'll be a nurse b/c there are so many nurses out there that went through the same stress and struggle. Be strong girl you can do this!!💪💪💪
Girl, I just submitted my application to my number one choice of nursing school last week and I am definitely not a 4.0 student ;/ I'm so nervous for these next couple of months but I know that God will place me where I need to be. Thanks boo for being such an inspiration and motivator
Cecilia Mendez keep the faith girl! That’s exactly the right attitude! God will put you where you’re meant to be! I submitted my application and just waiting to find out, I know how you feel the waiting process is nerve wrecking!
God's Favor.🙏
Cecilia Mendez You got this, we don't depend on our understanding but in Gods favor!!!!
Did you get in?
Cecilia Mendez update?
You’re so right! It’s not about how fast you get there, as long as you get there. Everyone has a different journey. I remember getting my acceptance email too. I ran into my boyfriends office hysterically crying, he thought something was wrong. 😂 now, I’m about to finish level 1!
Stopped watching your videos for a while because it was getting me down due to me not being in nursing school yet. But I'm back because I GOT ACCEPTED INTO NURSING SCHOOL!!🤞🏽❤
I completely relate to this. All my life nursing has been my absolute passion. I took Anatomy & Physiology NOT ONE, NOT TWO BUT THREE TIMES! (thank god they were just withdrawals for the first two times) but the third time I finally got a B! I worked my butt off I am telling you. I have always been so determined to be a nurse for however long it takes me because I believe it is God's plan. This summer I took Anatomy 2 & microbio ONLINE and ACED both!!! I worked my a** off! I now am planning to take my TEAS twice in the next few months before I apply in January to my program. I started tearing up when u said u got in because I cant begin to imagine how that felt for you.. my heart will be so full when I get in. I am a new subscriber and I am already loving your channel! You are so inspiring and real! Keep working on you girl, staying motivated is the key! I hate when people I know change their majors because it gets too tough if it is your passion and what you see yourself doing in your life WORK! You are amazing! Please wish me luck with applications in January!
How was the A&P 2 and Micro online. Any tips ?
Best of luck girl! You got this!!💪💪
when you talk about how graduating is not a race, but a journey. YAS KWEEN. stay on your grind, focus on yourself, and you will get there. I apply for nursing school in August to begin in January and I was upset cause I would be graduating later than I expected and now I'm just happy because I have a 3.8 GPA and I start my job as a PCT next week on a post-surgical floor. I've been watching you for so long and you've inspired me so much. 💕
143!
Frankiee Wegner yes queen! GPA goals
I'm not proud to say it but I'm failing A&P 1 right now. I am so grateful to God that I came across your video, you give me soooooooo much hope to keep going and THE KEY IS TO NOT GIVE UP! Thank you for sharing! #BlessYou
Yasmine Scott yess Im not doing good in AnP2 either and it’s the end of the semester 🤦🏽♀️ but I can’t give up and she just gave me encouragement to go study now! 🙏
Yasmine Scott did your grade improve by the end of the semester or did you retake the class?
You have no idea how much I needed this video. I am currently at the point of "in the grand scheme of things, what is an extra two semesters?" I know i can do this! thank you so much for this
The feeling of being home and living with parents gives me the drive to get good grades!
Thank you so much for being so transparent and honest. You are a true inspiration and I love watching your videos ! You give me sooo much hope! Thank you ❤️
I absolutely love your videos ! I’m planning on going to college to become a pediatric nurse when I graduate high school. Your videos really help me know what I’m getting myself into so I’m not lost . I really appreciate you and your channel . THANK YOU💖
You don't understand how much I needed to hear this!! Congrats to you and your journey !!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I'm currently in anatomy 2 and its been the ROUGHEST semester. I did very well in my first semester but this time around has been a struggle. It's been weighing heavy on me that I haven't been doing well, but this was just the encouragement I needed! Thank you for expressing the fact that there is no shame in taking longer to finish out your courses. I know nursing is what I am meant to do and I won't let one bad course grade keep me from carrying out my calling. Thank you so much.
Watching this motivated me to go to college & graduate. With God things are possible 🙏🏻❤️ Congrats on your journey !
I needed this! I recently had to drop my anatomy class and have been feeling so defeated and this has motivated me to keep pushing forward! Thanks so much for the helpful and insightful videos ❤
Okay so I just found your yt channel a couple days ago and I’ve been watching your videos and let me tell you, you have gave me hope tbh. I’m currently in college and I’m not doing well and it has brought me down so much and I just feel so unmotivated and I feel like I just want to give up. After watching a couple of your videos I feel like I’m not alone. I feel as if I can get it done no matter how long it’s gonna take. Thank you so much for making these videos 😭
I couldn't have found this video at a better time! Your experience is literally me in this very moment. Thank you for the encouraging and motivating words. Bless you and your journey, I can't wait to finally achieve this same goal
Recently I've been thinking about starting my journey to become a nurse, so I searched nursing videos on youtube and that's how I found you! And I am sooooo glad I did! You have completely inspired me to pursue my dream of nursing. I feel like I have gotten so much better of an understanding of nursing school and the job itself than I would have without your channel. So THANK YOU for all the content you have put out! It is so appreciated!!
You are an inspiration, to be able to share your setbacks is really amazing! You are so motivating, I had a major setback during my pre reqs and was devastated, but now I’m doing well in my first semester of nursing school. Thank you for being so honest, you are humble, smart, and beautiful. I want to be just like you!
I love you, I was in tears watching this because you voiced every concern I have. Good for you! Very inspiring
I really needed this! I thought I was the only one is/have been going through this stressful period in college. I hit rock bottom this past Spring because of my A&P class. I went from smiling to wanting to cry for hours because I felt so alone. Somehow I've been doing good so far with my summer classes. I can't wait to save lives just like you and all the other nurses!
I could just cry at how relatable this entire video is. Every single word that came out of your mouth in this entire video was SPOT ON!
I love you so much!!
This is exactly what I went through (and am currently going through)! Thank you for doing this video, you have no idea how much it helps!
Girl, you’re seriously my motivation!! Thank you for sharing your journey, I now don’t feel alone 😭
Thanks for being such an inspiration! I had a long journey before I made it into nursing school. But even if the journey was long, I wouldn’t change it because it taught me a lot along the way and now I’ve become more positive and motivated to begin my next journey as a nursing student which starts next month🙌🏻
Keep doing you because your videos are so inspiring💕
Thank you love for this inspiring testimony! I am currently struggling so hard in Anatomy 1. You have really encouraged me to keep pushing through. Being a nurse one day means everything to me! ❤️
Girl this video was god sent!! I’m having this slump feeling like I’m going to be a failure but I know Nursing is what I wanna do and I can’t give up. I admire you. Thank you ❤️
im so happy you posted this video,this is hitting home right now! i been feeling like a failure for not been able to graduate in a certain time frame. I took anatomy 1 in such a stressfull time because i wanted to graduate already! and i ended up flunking and i re took it again! and ended with a 90 in lab and flunked lecture with 1 point! which lead me to feeling more of a failure and made me question if im ment to major in the only thing i love. i have to keep pushing since i cant see my self doing anything else, thank you for the motivation!
Wow! This video really motivated me I’m a freshman in college and my major is nursing and I’m taking anatomy right now and I don’t feel as confident in passing but watching this I know there’s hope. In my case school doesn’t come easy for me so I have to put in extra work to get what I want out of life. Thank you so much for this video. I know there’s hope and anyone is capable of being whatever they want out of life if they put their mind to it!
Thank you for sharing your journey ❤️ I’m about to be a senior in high school and I’ve set my mind on becoming an RN. My sister is currently in Nursing school and it hasn’t been easy for her so I couldn’t help, but find myself doubting if I could even make it in this career path. But hearing how you were able to overcome these obstacles and reach your ultimate goal gives me hope that nothing is impossible! Thank you for shining light with your story ✨💖
I appreciate you even being able to remember the details in your feelings & memories at the moments in your journey through Nursing school. Im a A, B, & C (C’s in Science) student & there’s not day that C’s bring my world down.
You have no idea how badly I NEEDED this and I needed this today. So thank you so so so much for making this video when you did. Thank you so much
Every time I feel like giving up I go back to this video because it honestly motivates me and makes me realize that it’s okay to struggle and not have everything go your way at that exact moment!
Thank you for this video!! I’m going into my senior year of high school and I have always wanted to do nursing and this video gave me so much confidence that I could do this. Thank you so much!!!!
I just recently decided to take a leap of faith and become an RN and this video motivated me ‼️‼️ thank you so much for posting this I felt the same way you did and you gave me the extra push to do this love your channel ❤️
This video just made my day 😭 you’re such an inspiration 🧡
Girl I had pretty much the same experience!!! I ended up in the concurrent program as well and I will never forget that day. It really takes hitting rock bottom to realize what you really want out of life. Keep on rocking!!!
Thank you for this vid, I really needed to see that I’m not the only one struggling to get into a nursing program. I won’t give up.
I love your videos and advice !!! I didn’t take college serious fresh out of high school. I dropped classes left and right and didn’t give it my all. Now 7 years later I am finally going back to school and working in the rest of my prerequisites I need for the nursing program! I kept debating all that time if nursing was for me. Until I finally got the job at the hospital for the emergency department! And I have seen multiple deliveries and I even delivered a baby! it was an amazing experience and that moment will forever stay with me! I said I can so do this! This is what I am meant to do! I love helping people . So I kid you not I went to school a few days later got signed and paid for classes ! Now i start school next week and so excited and ready to get it done! Thank you for all of your advice and videos! It really helped a lot and I can relate so much ! I am so excited for this journey !
Yes sis! I’m going to be taking my NCLEX PN soon and I love how real you were being sharing your struggles, like prerequisites are no joke! Now you’re my inspiration. Hope I become an amazing RN like you! ❤️ And hell yes! Post more story time videos.
wow , you don’t know how much this video means to me. i’m literally starting my junior year in the same situation you was looking back at your last two years . this helps so much to think i’m not alone in this situation & things does look up. God is good all the time 🙏🏽
thank you so much for being encouraging and not just talking about how impossible nursing school is!! I know it’s a crazy struggle that’s definitely hard but it’s nice to know that it’s not impossible!! Plus I love how you talked about Gods plan, he will always carry out his plan even if it looks a little different than we imagine ❤️❤️
I really enjoyed this video it put me more at ease about my educational decisions as far as college.This was so raw real and uncut i love it
You are the realest person. I’m starting nursing school in the fall and I’m so excited. Your videos are making it seem less scary lol I had the same thoughts trying to figure out where to apply. It was the most stressful thing and I was thinking of all the different outcomes if I don’t get in, if I get into this school, stuff like that. Thank you so much for these videos! 👩🏼⚕️💕
I love your channel!! I am so glad I found it!! I am about to apply to nursing school to start in Fall of 2019 and I am so excited ♥️
I started googling "in nursing major but failing a&p 2" and I came across this video. I thank God I did because I was giving up and wanting to quit being a nurse and thought about changing my major. Just because you shared your experience you made me not want to give up and to just keep pushing forward to my dream. Thank you so much and I cant wait for the day that I am a nurse!
GIRL, you have no idea how much I needed to watch this video. I also went to FAU and I was like you, I breezed through high school with no issues. I came to FAU with my desire to be a nurse, but I didn’t take the course seriously enough. I failed a lot of my courses, and spiraled into depression. I eventually dropped out. Fast forward about 4 years later, I’m back in school, and only have my sciences left before I transfers to a University for their nursing program. I’m just really glad I’m not alone in this. Thank you SO much for sharing your journey! 💗
WOW!! You are literally speaking for me!! Everything you said is EXACTLY how I feel..... Thank you for this video!!! You have gained a subscriber!!
Thank you so much for this video!
This is how I am currently feeling and hearing you makes me feeling so positive about trying again!
I love love love your videos!! Your whole journey is so relatable, and I can't wait to one day be an RN like you!
This gives me hope; girl I CANNOT get passed these dang math classes. Like COME ON!!!
This is so freaking helpful and eye opening because I'm in the same boat! I may not want to be a nurse but a radiographer and I'm in my second semester of college. Unfortunately I'm failing anatomy and was FREAKED out and thought "I fail anatomy I don't get into Radiography" And honestly this video helps me a lot. It really helps me. I've been freaking out a lot, but this has helped me a TON!!!! So thank you so much, this gives me lots of reassurance that even if it unfortunately does happen, it's okay. Once again thank you so much, and even though I don't want to be a nurse your videos help a lot!!! Lots of love from West Florida ❤❤
Thank you so much for this!! I’ve actually been feeling really depressed bc I just finished my first semester of my freshman year and I made a C on my last bio exam (which is a class I’ve been struggling with all semester) so I have a C in the class and a 3.4 overall gpa. It’s soooo hard not to define my worth and future in my grades, so thank you for sharing your story!! This was extremely encouraging and exactly what I needed to give me perspective!
I have tears in my eyes! So happy for you. Gods plan, yes! I’m taking my Teas 2-3 x in advance. Will be almost 50 when I graduate! Beautiful story. Thanks for sharing! 😊
You are like what I NEED to hear in life!!! Love you!!! You're so inspirational!
Thank you so much for sharing!! It’s always a great thing knowing you’re not alone. My first semester of college was the absolute worse. (I REALLY was not focusing where I should have been) I had to drop anatomy and felt like such a failure. But this past summer I spent 12 weeks taking A&P 1 and 2 and got a B in both! I’ll be applying to nursing school in the spring and fingers crossed I’ll be a nursing student next fall!! You just have to believe in yourself and set your mind right :)) good luck and much love to all future nursing students out there!
This is helping me so much! I am taking A&P along microbiology and it’s been craziness and I haven’t been doing so well, and I was crying that getting a C would screw me up. This has encouraged me a lot, thank you ☺️
I’m so glad I came across this video. I’m majoring in biology with an emphasis in pre-med rn and I’m feeling the same way you felt back then. I’m struggling in anatomy lecture and I’ve been feeling like I’m not good enough and that I should just switch my major, but you just gave me that push that I needed. I need to try harder because this is what I want and I will get there!
Thank you so much! ♥️🥺
Girl this helped me so much I'm in my second year of a two year RPN program passed every class except clinical due to some health issues I was having and had to wait an entire year over to maybe get a spot in a 3rd den clinical again I'm so nervous hoping and praying I get a spot but I'm not a priority student because I'm now out of sink. I'm honestly at one of the lowest places I've ever been mentally just trying to keep up on my notes and pray they find me a spot for clinical.... all my friends just had their pinning ceremony and that was a hard day to watch..... but you're right in the grand scheme if one more year is what I need for the grand plan to have things line up then so be it it'll be worth it in the end pray for me or send some good vibes this way I could use it lol. Love all your videos such inspiration in them all.
This was so inspiring I literally had to take some time off to reevaluate myself and get my priorities straight,but now that I’m back focused 100% I’m so ready to go back and finish what I started ❤️❤️
I’m so thankful for this video! I’m in that exact position right now especially with my grades. I think I’m gonna take some time off and find a better program that fits.
Wow! It’s has really been a long time coming for me and A&P classes. Ugh! I’m so happy to hear that I’m not the only one that felt like I’m was not going to make it becoming a RN. It has taking me a lot of thought and I will be returning to college to finally finish this fall. Thanks for this video I really needed to hear this.
I freakin love these videos omgggg! You make me want to do sooo many things in life it’s crazy. I’m sooo excited for my future!!! Thank you for being amazing❤️🙏🏽
I'm so teared up. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS STORY AND PLEASE GIVE MORE STORY TIMES of your lifestyle and the struggle of being student because many of us need advice and someone to relate with. I'm a first generation in my family to go to college and It's hard being on my own and not knowing anyone to look up to. I subscribed you because I need someone to motivate me and look up to. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! I had to move back home to finish my general studies because I was working full time and supporting myself (barely) and now I am doing so much better
Girl, I’m so proud of you!!💛💛
I needed to hear this. You said things that I needed to hear. Thank you for your honesty.
I really truly needed this. I just finished my AP1 lab with a D and ive been devastated for the past two weeks. And i talked to my boyfriend about it all today and just took a step back and said nursing will always be there it doesnt matter how long i take, as long as i get it done. this video gave me some closure and motivation. thank you ❤️❤️
Wow , this video couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve been so upset because I’m failing my A&P & I will have to retake it. And Because I was trying so hard to bring up that grade, I’ve got a low grade in my other class. I’ve been beating myself because I did not want to be that person retaking classes. I feel so pressured by others. But your right !! I need to take things at my own pace & do what I can do !! Time flys regardless right ?? Thank you , I’m so glad to hear this from a RUclipsr. All my other fav RUclips nurses never really talk about how real this can really get & how retaking classes is normal !! You can still do it !! 👌🏼💕💪🏼🙌🏼
Wow this video is currently me! I binge watched your videos and got MOTIVATED believe it or not ❤️ thank you so much Alexis
Your video is so inspiring. I recently graduated from Medical Assisting program but now I wanted to take it further and proceed to be an RN. But I am now 39 with a 3 yr old and a 1 yr old. The desire to go back to school still burns but I am not sure if I could do it and by the time I'm done I'll be in my early 40's. Thank you for inspiring people who are having self-doubts to believe in themselves and to pursue their dreams no matter what and when.
If you could do it over, would you still do med assisting 1st or would you go straight rn?
I have to say being at my age and watching your video it inspired me that I don’t need to rush this because of how fast I need to make this happen due to my age. Motivation spoken honey. Thank you and glad I found this video. Congrats on your journey.
This video helped me so much. I started off as a nursing major my freshmen year of college but after seeing my prereq course grades for the nursing program and hearing how hard my schools program is, I was super discouraged and decided to change my major. I am now a junior and am applying to the nursing program tomorrow.. if I don't get in I will have to retake a few courses. I was super stressed that I won't be graduating on time but you made me feel so much better. This is what I want and I want it bad. I know I will make a great nurse one day. Thank you so much, I love your channel!
Omg I AM SOOOO HAPPY you posted this, i’m a sophmore in college & last semeter I failed all my classes even anatomy :(. All because i still had the mentality of HS. Now im retaking anatomy slightly passing but I missed a test that i have to retake my other classes i have an A & i should be applying to my nursing program at the end of spring 2019. & im sooo excited omg
Did u get in?
I've been watching a plethora of motivational videos lately but THIS one here has really resonated with me. I'm a rising junior at UNC Chapel Hill and I've been worrying so much to the point where I thought my future was over and that I let my family down. It sounds so dramatic but you'd be surprised what your mind can convince you to believe. Your video has inspired me to get my lazy butt off the couch and start making moves that will set me up to apply to nursing school! I need a mentor like you!
you have no idea how much i needed to hear and watch this video.. like.. i was meant to watch this.. because honestly i’m in the same shoes at the moment.. THANK YOUUUU for making this video!!! ❤️❤️
You literally described my whole situation right now. I retook anatomy and got a C!!!!! It is so frustrating but you gave me hope !!!
I am rn in life where you were with anxiety and feeling like you weren’t going to make it. I just want to thank you for your videos because when I watched this one specifically, it gives me hope that I really am not the only one, but one of many students who do hit rock bottom and feel hopeless. But that won’t stop us from making a come back
Thank you 🙏 a lot of people don’t like to share their failures but failure is stepping stones to success. I found your video because I’ve had to retake prerequisites for nursing and wanted to know that it is possible to get into nursing school with having to retake prerequisites. I have to retake microbiology, chemistry and math. BUT I did just earn my AA-DTA degree as a single mom of 4 kids :) thank you for your inspiration! Congratulations and good luck!
Thank you soooo much for this! I don’t know why I’m crying! Lol it really hit me. I’m taking anatomy 1 this semester and I’ve already had many days where i feel like I’ll never make it in to nursing school. Seems like I study so hard and it just isn’t enough. Thank you so much for the reassurance. Seriously means a lot 💞
