    I’ve been a funeral director for 15 years now. I always knew I wanted to be a nurse but waited past the 10 year time frame to not have to do the prerequisites over again. For three and a half years I didn’t go back to school because I didn’t want to take the prerequisites over. Long story short I am in my last semester of prerequisites and I passed my teas after taking it one time. I got tired of making excuses and just did what needed to be done. And it went super face.

      I’m in Fresno California next semester I’m sitting for my last final class before I finally apply to the lpn program at my community college . There are a total of 6 pre reqs you have to take before can even apply I have spent about 2 1/2 years taking these courses next semester will be 3 years . I saw your other video on how you can get in without any pre reqs depending on the state you live in . Cali is a different ball game. Good thing is though those classes are the same pre reqs for the lvn to rn bridge so don’t have to take those and can immediately bridge.
      Love the videos been watching you for a minute can’t wait to start my program and be done .

    I really needed this because I still haven't been able to pass my intro to anatomy and physiology class. I am taking it again next year at my community college. I am not use to being tested on 4 chapters. I am a teacher and with me not having to work during the holidays. I will be reading my anatomy and physiology textbook especially the chapters that I didn't understand. Plus my mindset needs to change. I need to stop telling myself that I am not smart enough or that I can't do something. I am not in nursing school yet. I will pass my intro to anatomy and physiology course. And I am paying out of pocket for my pre-reqs I have had people tell me maybe Nursing isn't for me maybe I should change my major. And the process of getting into Nursing school it's no joke at all. All I need to do is study for my anatomy and physiology daily. And Prayer as well. Science takes a lot of time for me to understand. Especially the chemistry chapter. I understand what anterior and posterior is and also the body cavities. And of course the terms anatomy and physiology. And I at least know what glucose is it has to do with sugar.Thank you for this video.

    Wake up at 3Am to study. I always drag my feet to go to school and not confident being around with younger students. I am 36 yrs old and I feel old to go back to school. but the reality kick in. Everything is getting expensive and my kids are growing. My husband is retired. So now I’m ready to challenge my self coz I’m tired of working with low pay.

That LVN program is going to fly by. Your babies and your husband are going to be so proud of you and you’ll be an inspiration. There are SO many people in their 30s, 40s etc in nursing school. I had a lady in her 50s in my RN program. I even worked with a nurse that didn’t go to school till she was in her 50s she retired a few years ago, she used to wear the boat hat and everything.
