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!
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.
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
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!
@@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!
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.
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 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!
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!
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.
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 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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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 😊
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.
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!!💪💪💪
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
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!
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! 🙏
I’m currently in college for nursing and I’ve been discouraged because I’m not understanding anything in my A&P class and I really want to be a nurse but I don’t think I could be cut out for it...it came to a point to where I wanna switch my major...this video makes me feel better because I’m currently in that situation 😌
Emma Dastine this is me right now 😌 I’m taking A&P2 , and I’m pretty sure I failed my first exam today. Now I’m debating whether or not to change my major. I’m really frustrated because I started going to college in Fall of 2016, and everyone’s asking why I’m not done yet...
Melody Juan don’t give up!! I messed up my freshman year at a university was occupied bullshitting and not taking school seriously was disqualified cause of my grades. Took a semester off and worked full time as a CNA I went back to school at a community college worked my butt off getting good grades and now I’m finally graduating in spring. Even my own parents would ask why I’m taking forever don’t listen to people you are on your own time, just continue and work hard you will get there!!
@@angelaa.4780 this is exactly what I went through. First year at a University and i lost all kinds of motivation ! Came back home and retook the classes I failed. I'm planning on taking A&p 1 again this summer but online due to covid-19. I'm so excited to redeem myself so I can apply for the LVN program for this spring!
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.
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
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 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 ❤️❤️
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!
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
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 ❤️
Former law student who failed out after 1.5 years as a 2L by .04% below required GPA. After 3 years of drifting/contemplating returning to law school, I thought about the $100k I already spent and pondered about if it would make me happy. I volunteered 2 years, twice a week at a hospital in the geritric unit prior to entering law school so nursing was in the back of my mind. I became a juvenile correctional officer in the meantime but felt I wasn't fitting in and the kids couldn't relate to me because I come from the suburbs and therefore most didn't connect with me/weren't inspired to change because of me. So, around Christmas 2017, I decided to enroll in Statistics. I got an A. Then, this past Summer 2018, I took A&P and received an A-. Now currently taking Advanced A&P...which is the hardest class I've ever taken. Our instructor isn't approacable but have to know that not everyone will be but up to you to stay on track to earn the grade. If I have to take it over, it will hurt but I know I can take it over with someone else who I previously had. I'm 30 y/o and take 1 pre-req at a time. I don't think I could do more than 1 at this point because of how much school I've already completed...a bit drained and unmotivated but I'll get there. Point is, it doesn't matter how long it takes for you to get there. Just keep working towards your goal. Don't give up. Surround yourself with people who will support you. Stay focused. Don't study 24/7. Think about the material in real life. Eat healthy. Exercise. Applying to either Madison, WI for an accelerated BSN or Marquette in spring 2019. Must take nutrition and micro or regular chem over. Hope this is helpful for people.
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!
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.
I am very nervous to start school because I am always doubting myself but watching this has made me more confident. I realize now that not everybody’s college experience is perfect and that there’s going to be bumps. I can’t wait to become a nurse 😊
This was super dope. I'm in my early thirties too. And I'm going back to college after 10 years. And I hit the ground running. You can do anything you put your mind to and I believe this 1st time around I am more focused and more ready than ever! 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! 💗
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
For those interested in online classes, make sure they'll be accepted. I'm using notes during my exams. Some are self paced too. Try your best so you don't have to repeat. I'm doing them and have to really try to be focused. I'll make it.
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!
Things I needed?!? THIS! I transferred back home after attending this place that was AWFUL for my mental health I was depressed and my grades truly reflected! I had a 2 Cs (A&P1 and Micro) and 1 A. However my school back home is very strict and competitive! They only accept 1 retake!! (So pick which science you did worst and good luck). My overall GPA however was a 3.6. I didn’t get in but I did get into our sister campus 1 hour away. Visited and it reminded me of the place I transferred from. I decided to stay here bump my minor (MGMT) up to my major...and then try to get my Accelerated BSN. I was so devastated of telling people about it from being embarrassed but now? WHO CARES! In short...if it’s God’s will for me to have RN, BSN behind my last name..I WILL. Good luck to everyone else out there, we got this 💙
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!!
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! 😊
Thank you for talking about how it’s ok to take a little longer to finish school! I feel like SO many people are focused on finishing as fast as they can, and they totally lose out on focusing on their education and experiences.
This video is inspirational 💖 I graduated Dec. 2017 with my bachelor's in an unrelated degree. I finally decided right before graduation I wanted to go back for Nursing at my local community college ADN program, starting with pre reqs this summer 18'... I did take A&P1 w/o lab in 2016 and I failed it, not being serious at all, and falling behind. Plus, I have a very low GPA from being irresponsible smh 🤦🏾, so this ADN program is pretty much the only one I found in-state that I qualify for (only pre req GPA required)... So things kind of starting falling apart after graduation. I lost my job in Feb. Then in March, i found out my car needed $1k+ in repairs and is not driveable. And on that same day, I also found out I have no more financial aid (grants/loans), bc of my bachelor's degree. Sooo I'm currently saving for school, and to take a CNA course this September. I still have 1 yr of pre reqs + 2 yrs Nursing school...😩 But, *sigh* I know this is all God's plan and his timing. I cried when I found out I couldn't go back, but God makes no mistakes. I had to realize the Devil is trying to stop me, bc he knows how God will use me. But I know I will get through.🌹 & God recently blessed me w/an at home position for Apple that I wanted for 2 yrs, that I could not have taken being in school... I have to remind myself to trust his perfect timing 💖
@@yemialemu9902 UPDATE 3/23/20 - I'm just now seeing your comment, thank you. I literally stumbled across this video, feeling unmotivated. And I didn't realize I've watched it already and left this comment in summer 2018 lol, so now i'll update it. TIME FLIES... almost 2 years after this comment... I'm in such a different place since then. Wow... My car was fixed in august 2018, I no longer work at Apple, I did a CNA program summer 2019, but I never got the license or worked in the field... I still want to though. I started my prereqs Fall 19' part-time, I made all A's. I'm currently finishing up my prereqs this spring 20', and summer 20' i just have to take micro w/lab. So far, this semester I have all A's, a full-time student... (I'm taking 2 easy non required courses to help my gpa). Still paying for my classes out of pocket... Things haven't been easy, I'm relying on faith. 🙏🏾 Praying the semester goes great with this Corona Virus, and us being online for the remainder... Taking the HESI in August or so... I plan on applying for nursing school (ADN) in Sept, to start Spring 2021, and finish Fall 2022... I'm grateful i ran across this video and comment, I should come back when I'm accepted. ❤️
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 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! ❤️
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💖
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!
I am in the process of transferring schools to attend a nursing school that will accept my grades as is and was SO worried about graduating late. This video has honestly made me so motivated that no matter what timeframe, I can be a nurse. Thank you so much for all this realness, needed it :)
Vic Claire me too! I took my final this past Saturday and got a 90%. I barely passed the class with a 90.2%. It was difficult. I will not take another math class online 😅
@rebecca dunn LISTEN. I’m thankful for my advisor because I was going to do a math class online and she asked me with a “shook” face “you sure you want to do that” lmao I’m grateful now
I started at my local community college and I did so good but I than transferred to UNCC which was the school o wanted to go and like you said I did the bare minimum for the community college and I thought it would be the same at the university and I was so wrong I failed my Anatomy and all I could get was Cs and I was so upset cause I eventually got academic suspension. Yesterday I graduate from a Trade school with a Medical Assistant Certificate and I graduated with high honors I was always on the deans list. TBH I never thought I could find a way to reach my goal to be an RN but yesterday I realized I could do it and that’s the next step for me. I’m so happy your video was recommended Bc I don’t feel so alone. I felt stupid af for failing anatomy and I thought I wasn’t good enough. Thank you for sharing your experience. ❤️
Omg I sooo needed this video. I'm 25 and have my Bachelor's in Exercise science, but now I want to switch careers into nursing. This makes me feel better about restarting school and being older!
Danielle Alicea Hey, I am in the exact same situation as you. Just graduated with a B.S. degree in Applied Exercise Science. I want to go to nursing school, but don’t want to start all over. I am looking at the ADN program at my community college. I want to go get my BSN, but it would be so expensive to get another Bachelors degree. :/ Hope you figure it all out! :)
Danielle Alicea I am nervous too about going back to school and being a lil older :/ It sucks to start all over for a different career field, but you and I are still very young! Hope the best for you! Stay strong :)
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 !
I feel like this is a sign for me... I took my final yesterday and I dont think I passed... I was so sad yesterday ugh.....I have all A's and B's ...Anatomy is tough!
ayuana bradford it is way more than just knowing the body parts, you have to learn each part from the molecular level and the chemistry behind the body parts
Amen! I’m a pre-nursing major and my parents always stress that I should keep up with everyone else. I disagree (quietly ofcourse). I believe that you should go your pace in order to make sure you understand the material because not everyone learns the same way. I’m scared of taking my first A&P exam in two weeks because I have no idea how I should study for it. This video and others has helped me realize that I can go at my own pace and learn it the way that is easier for me to understand.
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 🙏🏽
Reading the comments has given me so much courage to keep going. I’m in school to become an OTA and have been struggling so bad 😓 I’ve cried plenty of times and have felt like giving up.
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!
Ok so I just finished my second semester of college and LET ME TELL YOU. I failed Anatomy 2 this semester and I was heartbroken and I took my HESI the DAY BEFORE it was due and I passed and I’m struggling in Chem right now, my final is Wednesday and I HAVE to get at least a B to pass the course!!! This video encouraged me sooo much bc I flew through high school without any effort and college is such a slap in the face to real life and i am now motivated to stop being so lazy and study and get my ish together to bring up my GPA!! Thank you so much for sharing in the detail that u did, i feel so much better knowing I’m not alone and that i still have hope to make it and be a successful nursing student!!
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 ☺️
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 ❤️
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!!
I got a B in microbiology and it sent me into a depression because everyone says you need all A’s or you won’t get in anywhere. This made me feel like there’s hope💕
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 ❤
I am so happy I watched this video. I am currently taking A&P and struggling. My professor said to his whole lecture class "if you struggle during this class, you might want to rethink your career plan" which completely shook me, I started questioning everything and whether I was even smart enough to do this. This video has helped me so much and made me feel a lot better, as long as I work my butt off I can do it! Thank you!
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 was thinking of pulling out from trying to get into a nursing program. Then RUclips recommends me nursing videos from you. I have only watched doctor videos, but never nursing videos which feels like a sign to keep going. I have a BA but the recommendation was to get a 2.0gpa minimum so I scored a 2.8gpa since I didnt care and thought that my GPA for my BA wouldnt effect trying to get into the nursing program. Then I talked to the nurse adviser at the community college. She told me I would not make it and gave me doubts but I was confident that I could do it. She said that the only way I have a chance is to volunteer a lot, get recommendations from professors and people in the medical field (docs, nurses, etc), and make sure for nutrition, anatomy, microbiological, physiology, and psychology all A's. I got the A for nutrition and will be taking anatomy this fall. The professor posted her PowerPoints and never have I ever regretted so much for not remembering my lower ge's science courses info that I learned. I took anthropology and psychology and they touched on some points that anatomy focused on. Looking at the first 2 chapters, I feel so stupid for not even remembering. I honestly feel so nervous of not getting the A's I need and getting at least a 95 for the TEAS. I really wish I get those A' s, at least a 95 on the TEAS, and get into the nursing program. For me, the prerequisites, textbooks, TEAS, and applying for nursing program fees comes out of my broke pocket. I'm taking the risk of not using my BA to work at the same place my friend works at, throwing money into trying to get into nursing, and not working at all to focus on the prerequisites for nursing. I really wish I make it into the program, pass everything in nursing, and be able to pay it off since I'll be getting loans. If not, I'll go and do office work with my BA. I really dont want to do that though...
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
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!!!
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!
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.
From when I was in High School I wanted to be a nurse. I have done basically all my prerequisites but earlier this year some people was telling me that if I am sure I want to go into nursing, it might not be for you cause I stutter and at first I as like what does that have to do with anything but what they said got to me and I switched my major to rad tech. I also moved to a different state so different college and I did 1 semester of prereqs for the rad tech program. All of sudden I literally got up one day and I was like what am I doing...Ik u want to be a nurse that’s what I am passionate about so why am I letting people making me feel bad and talking me down from doing what I want to do...so I switched back to nursing and now all I have to do is take the TEAS and apply before February 🙌🏽 and I hope and pray I get in🙏🏽
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 !! 👌🏼💕💪🏼🙌🏼
I love all the comments! I’m still in my prerequisites too I love how many could relate to each other with the C grades. I’m not good at math so when I took statistics, I got a C but for my other classes I worked very hard to get A’s and B’s. To anyone stressing over a bad grade, you’re not alone💕
Your video is so encouraging! I’m in my early 40’s. Was a preschool teacher for over 15yrs now I’m doing Postpartum care. Long story stort, was laid off from the preschool then did a few certifications but kept taking my prerequisites life happened and we’ll took time off. I failed my anatomy class and that made me feel horrible. Iam now going back to school in the fall. I just know this is my calling I know god created me to help humanity. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏻❤️ total pumped me up
I’ve literally been binge watching your videos. I plan to go to nursing school this spring but I got a77 in anatomy 2. It was/is the 1st C on my transcript and I was so hurt 😭. I still am lmao but I love your channel. It’s so helpful & encouraging 😩🙏🏽. Your videos popped up just in time. Won’t He do it 😂🙌🏽
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!
This video motivated me! Thanks girl! I’m not doing nursing but I’m doing a dental hygiene program. I’m in anatomy 1 right now holding on to a strong C praying for a B. Congratulations on your success! 🎊
I just failed my Chemistry class this semester ,and I’m in my sophomore year of college. Just the other day I felt like such a failure. I thought my life ,and my future was over, but I suddenly got this boost of confidence that when the next semester gets here I will do my absolute best and I will get my GPA up, and achieve my goals. Seeing your video just motivated me even more‼️❤️
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!
This video motivated me so much. I’m currently a sophomore at FAU and I didn’t get into the direct nursing program so I decided to take the psychology route but I know for a fact I want to be a nurse🤩 AP is so hard but I know through God’s grace he’ll hold me through it. 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.
It’s crazy how there is so many people out there(mainly nurses) that will tell you if you don’t have a 4.0 gpa you’ll never make it. I’ve had so many tell me I have to change my major because nursing schools will only want the best. Yes, grades are important, but that alone will not make you a good nurse. Thank you for sharing your story. It definitely helps to know that mistakes happen and if you work hard for what you want, you’ll get to the place where you want to be in.
I think the professor you take for anatomy will make a huge difference. I first took A&PI with a Professor last spring and my grade was a D so I had to drop before it would affect my gpa. Last fall I took it again but with another Professor and ended up getting an A! It was hard but so worth it.
I think it’s crazy because I’m currently taking anatomy 2 and microbiology and 2 other classes and I’m high key stressed because I want to do good on my test but it’s hard to manage all my classes and you just motivated me even more to try hard because you will accomplish your goals 💕
This is so encouraging for other students and thank you for being so real and honest! A lot of people like to make it appear as though they have the perfect grades and perfect scores, when it's completely normal and human to make a few mistakes! I got a B in anatomy but an A in the other two required classes for my nursing program and I got a pretty good score on the TEAS exam! I officially submitted my nursing school application and I have about 25 days till I find out!
I’m still working on my prereqs for nursing school, I did horrible in A&P 1. Now I’m taking microbiology & it is so hard for me. I have always struggled in science related courses & I believe I’m hitting rock bottom right now. I don’t feel like I can do it but something in me keeps pushing. I want to try so much harder because I feel like this is my destiny. Thank you for your motivational videos!
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 😆
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 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
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 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!
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?
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 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 😭😭😭😭
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?
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?
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.
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!
I’m failing A&P right now so I really needed 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
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!!✌
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!!💪💪💪
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 ❤❤❤
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
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!!💪💪
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?
NEEDED to watch this. Please do more of these kinds of videos!
I’m currently in college for nursing and I’ve been discouraged because I’m not understanding anything in my A&P class and I really want to be a nurse but I don’t think I could be cut out for it...it came to a point to where I wanna switch my major...this video makes me feel better because I’m currently in that situation 😌
Emma Dastine this is me right now 😌 I’m taking A&P2 , and I’m pretty sure I failed my first exam today. Now I’m debating whether or not to change my major. I’m really frustrated because I started going to college in Fall of 2016, and everyone’s asking why I’m not done yet...
Melody Juan don’t give up!! I messed up my freshman year at a university was occupied bullshitting and not taking school seriously was disqualified cause of my grades. Took a semester off and worked full time as a CNA I went back to school at a community college worked my butt off getting good grades and now I’m finally graduating in spring. Even my own parents would ask why I’m taking forever don’t listen to people you are on your own time, just continue and work hard you will get there!!
@@angelaa.4780 this is exactly what I went through. First year at a University and i lost all kinds of motivation ! Came back home and retook the classes I failed. I'm planning on taking A&p 1 again this summer but online due to covid-19. I'm so excited to redeem myself so I can apply for the LVN program for this spring!
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?
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
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!!🤞🏽❤
Watching this motivated me to go to college & graduate. With God things are possible 🙏🏻❤️ Congrats on your journey !
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 ❤️❤️
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!
The feeling of being home and living with parents gives me the drive to get good grades!
This gives me hope; girl I CANNOT get passed these dang math classes. Like COME ON!!!
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 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 ❤️
Former law student who failed out after 1.5 years as a 2L by .04% below required GPA. After 3 years of drifting/contemplating returning to law school, I thought about the $100k I already spent and pondered about if it would make me happy. I volunteered 2 years, twice a week at a hospital in the geritric unit prior to entering law school so nursing was in the back of my mind. I became a juvenile correctional officer in the meantime but felt I wasn't fitting in and the kids couldn't relate to me because I come from the suburbs and therefore most didn't connect with me/weren't inspired to change because of me. So, around Christmas 2017, I decided to enroll in Statistics. I got an A. Then, this past Summer 2018, I took A&P and received an A-. Now currently taking Advanced A&P...which is the hardest class I've ever taken. Our instructor isn't approacable but have to know that not everyone will be but up to you to stay on track to earn the grade. If I have to take it over, it will hurt but I know I can take it over with someone else who I previously had. I'm 30 y/o and take 1 pre-req at a time. I don't think I could do more than 1 at this point because of how much school I've already completed...a bit drained and unmotivated but I'll get there. Point is, it doesn't matter how long it takes for you to get there. Just keep working towards your goal. Don't give up. Surround yourself with people who will support you. Stay focused. Don't study 24/7. Think about the material in real life. Eat healthy. Exercise. Applying to either Madison, WI for an accelerated BSN or Marquette in spring 2019. Must take nutrition and micro or regular chem over. Hope this is helpful for people.
I got a B in A&P I. I’m actually so proud of myself bc I thought I was gonna get a C. Hopefully I get an A or B for A&P II.
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!
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.
I am very nervous to start school because I am always doubting myself but watching this has made me more confident. I realize now that not everybody’s college experience is perfect and that there’s going to be bumps. I can’t wait to become a nurse 😊
This was super dope. I'm in my early thirties too. And I'm going back to college after 10 years. And I hit the ground running. You can do anything you put your mind to and I believe this 1st time around I am more focused and more ready than ever! 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! 💗
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
For those interested in online classes, make sure they'll be accepted. I'm using notes during my exams. Some are self paced too. Try your best so you don't have to repeat. I'm doing them and have to really try to be focused. I'll make it.
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!
Things I needed?!? THIS!
I transferred back home after attending this place that was AWFUL for my mental health I was depressed and my grades truly reflected! I had a 2 Cs (A&P1 and Micro) and 1 A. However my school back home is very strict and competitive! They only accept 1 retake!! (So pick which science you did worst and good luck). My overall GPA however was a 3.6. I didn’t get in but I did get into our sister campus 1 hour away. Visited and it reminded me of the place I transferred from. I decided to stay here bump my minor (MGMT) up to my major...and then try to get my Accelerated BSN. I was so devastated of telling people about it from being embarrassed but now? WHO CARES! In short...if it’s God’s will for me to have RN, BSN behind my last name..I WILL. Good luck to everyone else out there, we got this 💙
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!!
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 literally described my whole situation right now. I retook anatomy and got a C!!!!! It is so frustrating but you gave me hope !!!
Thank you for talking about how it’s ok to take a little longer to finish school! I feel like SO many people are focused on finishing as fast as they can, and they totally lose out on focusing on their education and experiences.
This video is inspirational 💖 I graduated Dec. 2017 with my bachelor's in an unrelated degree. I finally decided right before graduation I wanted to go back for Nursing at my local community college ADN program, starting with pre reqs this summer 18'... I did take A&P1 w/o lab in 2016 and I failed it, not being serious at all, and falling behind. Plus, I have a very low GPA from being irresponsible smh 🤦🏾, so this ADN program is pretty much the only one I found in-state that I qualify for (only pre req GPA required)...
So things kind of starting falling apart after graduation. I lost my job in Feb. Then in March, i found out my car needed $1k+ in repairs and is not driveable. And on that same day, I also found out I have no more financial aid (grants/loans), bc of my bachelor's degree.
Sooo I'm currently saving for school, and to take a CNA course this September. I still have 1 yr of pre reqs + 2 yrs Nursing school...😩
But, *sigh* I know this is all God's plan and his timing. I cried when I found out I couldn't go back, but God makes no mistakes. I had to realize the Devil is trying to stop me, bc he knows how God will use me. But I know I will get through.🌹
& God recently blessed me w/an at home position for Apple that I wanted for 2 yrs, that I could not have taken being in school... I have to remind myself to trust his perfect timing 💖
Best of luck in everything! Hang in there you can do it!
@@yemialemu9902 UPDATE 3/23/20 - I'm just now seeing your comment, thank you. I literally stumbled across this video, feeling unmotivated. And I didn't realize I've watched it already and left this comment in summer 2018 lol, so now i'll update it.
TIME FLIES... almost 2 years after this comment... I'm in such a different place since then. Wow... My car was fixed in august 2018, I no longer work at Apple, I did a CNA program summer 2019, but I never got the license or worked in the field... I still want to though. I started my prereqs Fall 19' part-time, I made all A's. I'm currently finishing up my prereqs this spring 20', and summer 20' i just have to take micro w/lab. So far, this semester I have all A's, a full-time student... (I'm taking 2 easy non required courses to help my gpa). Still paying for my classes out of pocket... Things haven't been easy, I'm relying on faith. 🙏🏾 Praying the semester goes great with this Corona Virus, and us being online for the remainder... Taking the HESI in August or so... I plan on applying for nursing school (ADN) in Sept, to start Spring 2021, and finish Fall 2022... I'm grateful i ran across this video and comment, I should come back when I'm accepted. ❤️
@@jmarieeeee Does your job center in your area have a wia program? They might can help you pay for school or books.
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 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! ❤️
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💖
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!
I got a C in anatomy 1 and anatomy 2 so this gives me hope!
Mylisa Kay did you get in ??
I am in the process of transferring schools to attend a nursing school that will accept my grades as is and was SO worried about graduating late. This video has honestly made me so motivated that no matter what timeframe, I can be a nurse. Thank you so much for all this realness, needed it :)
I’m struggling in statistics more than anatomy!
Vic Claire me too! I took my final this past Saturday and got a 90%. I barely passed the class with a 90.2%. It was difficult. I will not take another math class online 😅
@rebecca dunn LISTEN. I’m thankful for my advisor because I was going to do a math class online and she asked me with a “shook” face “you sure you want to do that” lmao I’m grateful now
Do you have a TI-83 or 84? I struggled so bad in stats until I bought one. Sooo worth the hundred dollars lol
Omg the absolute worst😭
Statistics is pretty hard lol... I got a C and left ✌🏽
I started at my local community college and I did so good but I than transferred to UNCC which was the school o wanted to go and like you said I did the bare minimum for the community college and I thought it would be the same at the university and I was so wrong I failed my Anatomy and all I could get was Cs and I was so upset cause I eventually got academic suspension. Yesterday I graduate from a Trade school with a Medical Assistant Certificate and I graduated with high honors I was always on the deans list. TBH I never thought I could find a way to reach my goal to be an RN but yesterday I realized I could do it and that’s the next step for me. I’m so happy your video was recommended Bc I don’t feel so alone. I felt stupid af for failing anatomy and I thought I wasn’t good enough. Thank you for sharing your experience. ❤️
Omg I sooo needed this video. I'm 25 and have my Bachelor's in Exercise science, but now I want to switch careers into nursing. This makes me feel better about restarting school and being older!
Danielle Alicea Hey, I am in the exact same situation as you. Just graduated with a B.S. degree in Applied Exercise Science. I want to go to nursing school, but don’t want to start all over. I am looking at the ADN program at my community college. I want to go get my BSN, but it would be so expensive to get another Bachelors degree. :/ Hope you figure it all out! :)
Danielle Alicea
I am nervous too about going back to school and being a lil older :/ It sucks to start all over for a different career field, but you and I are still very young! Hope the best for you! Stay strong :)
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 !
I feel like this is a sign for me... I took my final yesterday and I dont think I passed... I was so sad yesterday ugh.....I have all A's and B's ...Anatomy is tough!
shellyga1 How is anamony tough?
This is me right now!!
ayuana bradford it is way more than just knowing the body parts, you have to learn each part from the molecular level and the chemistry behind the body parts
Amen! I’m a pre-nursing major and my parents always stress that I should keep up with everyone else. I disagree (quietly ofcourse). I believe that you should go your pace in order to make sure you understand the material because not everyone learns the same way. I’m scared of taking my first A&P exam in two weeks because I have no idea how I should study for it. This video and others has helped me realize that I can go at my own pace and learn it the way that is easier for me to understand.
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 🙏🏽
Reading the comments has given me so much courage to keep going. I’m in school to become an OTA and have been struggling so bad 😓 I’ve cried plenty of times and have felt like giving up.
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!
Ok so I just finished my second semester of college and LET ME TELL YOU. I failed Anatomy 2 this semester and I was heartbroken and I took my HESI the DAY BEFORE it was due and I passed and I’m struggling in Chem right now, my final is Wednesday and I HAVE to get at least a B to pass the course!!! This video encouraged me sooo much bc I flew through high school without any effort and college is such a slap in the face to real life and i am now motivated to stop being so lazy and study and get my ish together to bring up my GPA!! Thank you so much for sharing in the detail that u did, i feel so much better knowing I’m not alone and that i still have hope to make it and be a successful nursing student!!
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 ☺️
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 ❤️
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!!
I got a B in microbiology and it sent me into a depression because everyone says you need all A’s or you won’t get in anywhere. This made me feel like there’s hope💕
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 ❤
I am so happy I watched this video. I am currently taking A&P and struggling. My professor said to his whole lecture class "if you struggle during this class, you might want to rethink your career plan" which completely shook me, I started questioning everything and whether I was even smart enough to do this. This video has helped me so much and made me feel a lot better, as long as I work my butt off I can do it! Thank you!
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 was thinking of pulling out from trying to get into a nursing program. Then RUclips recommends me nursing videos from you. I have only watched doctor videos, but never nursing videos which feels like a sign to keep going. I have a BA but the recommendation was to get a 2.0gpa minimum so I scored a 2.8gpa since I didnt care and thought that my GPA for my BA wouldnt effect trying to get into the nursing program. Then I talked to the nurse adviser at the community college. She told me I would not make it and gave me doubts but I was confident that I could do it. She said that the only way I have a chance is to volunteer a lot, get recommendations from professors and people in the medical field (docs, nurses, etc), and make sure for nutrition, anatomy, microbiological, physiology, and psychology all A's. I got the A for nutrition and will be taking anatomy this fall. The professor posted her PowerPoints and never have I ever regretted so much for not remembering my lower ge's science courses info that I learned. I took anthropology and psychology and they touched on some points that anatomy focused on. Looking at the first 2 chapters, I feel so stupid for not even remembering. I honestly feel so nervous of not getting the A's I need and getting at least a 95 for the TEAS. I really wish I get those A' s, at least a 95 on the TEAS, and get into the nursing program. For me, the prerequisites, textbooks, TEAS, and applying for nursing program fees comes out of my broke pocket. I'm taking the risk of not using my BA to work at the same place my friend works at, throwing money into trying to get into nursing, and not working at all to focus on the prerequisites for nursing. I really wish I make it into the program, pass everything in nursing, and be able to pay it off since I'll be getting loans. If not, I'll go and do office work with my BA. I really dont want to do that though...
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 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
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!!!
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!
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.
From when I was in High School I wanted to be a nurse. I have done basically all my prerequisites but earlier this year some people was telling me that if I am sure I want to go into nursing, it might not be for you cause I stutter and at first I as like what does that have to do with anything but what they said got to me and I switched my major to rad tech. I also moved to a different state so different college and I did 1 semester of prereqs for the rad tech program. All of sudden I literally got up one day and I was like what am I doing...Ik u want to be a nurse that’s what I am passionate about so why am I letting people making me feel bad and talking me down from doing what I want to do...so I switched back to nursing and now all I have to do is take the TEAS and apply before February 🙌🏽 and I hope and pray I get in🙏🏽
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 !! 👌🏼💕💪🏼🙌🏼
I love all the comments! I’m still in my prerequisites too I love how many could relate to each other with the C grades. I’m not good at math so when I took statistics, I got a C but for my other classes I worked very hard to get A’s and B’s. To anyone stressing over a bad grade, you’re not alone💕
You don't understand how much I needed to hear this!! Congrats to you and your journey !!
Your video is so encouraging! I’m in my early 40’s. Was a preschool teacher for over 15yrs now I’m doing Postpartum care. Long story stort, was laid off from the preschool then did a few certifications but kept taking my prerequisites life happened and we’ll took time off. I failed my anatomy class and that made me feel horrible. Iam now going back to school in the fall. I just know this is my calling I know god created me to help humanity. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏻❤️ total pumped me up
I’ve literally been binge watching your videos. I plan to go to nursing school this spring but I got a77 in anatomy 2. It was/is the 1st C on my transcript and I was so hurt 😭. I still am lmao but I love your channel. It’s so helpful & encouraging 😩🙏🏽. Your videos popped up just in time. Won’t He do it 😂🙌🏽
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!
This video motivated me! Thanks girl! I’m not doing nursing but I’m doing a dental hygiene program. I’m in anatomy 1 right now holding on to a strong C praying for a B.
Congratulations on your success! 🎊
I just failed my Chemistry class this semester ,and I’m in my sophomore year of college. Just the other day I felt like such a failure. I thought my life ,and my future was over, but I suddenly got this boost of confidence that when the next semester gets here I will do my absolute best and I will get my GPA up, and achieve my goals. Seeing your video just motivated me even more‼️❤️
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!
This video motivated me so much. I’m currently a sophomore at FAU and I didn’t get into the direct nursing program so I decided to take the psychology route but I know for a fact I want to be a nurse🤩 AP is so hard but I know through God’s grace he’ll hold me through it. 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.
It’s crazy how there is so many people out there(mainly nurses) that will tell you if you don’t have a 4.0 gpa you’ll never make it. I’ve had so many tell me I have to change my major because nursing schools will only want the best. Yes, grades are important, but that alone will not make you a good nurse. Thank you for sharing your story. It definitely helps to know that mistakes happen and if you work hard for what you want, you’ll get to the place where you want to be in.
I think the professor you take for anatomy will make a huge difference. I first took A&PI with a Professor last spring and my grade was a D so I had to drop before it would affect my gpa. Last fall I took it again but with another Professor and ended up getting an A! It was hard but so worth it.
I think it’s crazy because I’m currently taking anatomy 2 and microbiology and 2 other classes and I’m high key stressed because I want to do good on my test but it’s hard to manage all my classes and you just motivated me even more to try hard because you will accomplish your goals 💕
This is so encouraging for other students and thank you for being so real and honest! A lot of people like to make it appear as though they have the perfect grades and perfect scores, when it's completely normal and human to make a few mistakes! I got a B in anatomy but an A in the other two required classes for my nursing program and I got a pretty good score on the TEAS exam! I officially submitted my nursing school application and I have about 25 days till I find out!
I failed anatomy 1, went on to become a certified pharmacy technician and will be going to get my LPN in May 2019. I honestly needed this! ❤️
I’m still working on my prereqs for nursing school, I did horrible in A&P 1. Now I’m taking microbiology & it is so hard for me. I have always struggled in science related courses & I believe I’m hitting rock bottom right now. I don’t feel like I can do it but something in me keeps pushing. I want to try so much harder because I feel like this is my destiny. Thank you for your motivational videos!
I am a 1st year RN student and I passed anatomy by the skin of my teeth!! So I feel u. Thanks for the channel. Good info!!
