Honestly, working as a CNA and OR Tech taught the industrial part of medicine. That is why when instructors try to make exams hard, i become very jaded
I started LPN school earlier this week.. part of me regrets not jumping outta the window and going straight for my BSN.. but I’m here now.. I’m determined to make it.
I think it's a good idea to attempt LPN first. It will make upper level classes easier for you to digest if you have applicable nursing experience. Make no mistake, earning that license is not easy. You're just climbing 1 step rather Than attempting to jump 4 steps at once. It will also allow you to see if nursing is the field you want to remain in. As in this video, there are challenges you can't prep for and I think it's wise to ensure you love it before committing all 4 years, by working as a LPN or as a CNA,
I went the LPN route, completed two bridges, and now I am a BSN-prepared nurse. Let me tell you, you made the right choice. You will gain valuable nursing experience working as a LPN before going into the bedside. You will be able to support yourself and a small family as a LPN in as little as a year. You'll be well-prepared for the LPN to RN bridge because it is much of a refresher with a little deeper content add-on. You will be able to become an RN without a debt and have the hospital you work for pay your RN to BSN bridge tuition. Some even manage to have their workplace pay their LPN to RN bridge tuition, but that will be a little overwhelming.
I just graduated my LVN program last week. I had the same thoughts that i should have just went for my RN, it was only 9 months longer. Now i have to either waitlist for my school's bridge program 6 months+, or enroll in a new school where i will have to retake all the core nursing classes again. BUT, the more i thought about it, the more i start to appreciate this route. I am now a nurse already and getting my RN will just be a transition in scope. So i get to enjoy the season of being an LVN while i work on my RN. I will have practical experience and make myself that much stronger when i come out as an RN
Healthcare is not individualized like it should be. That’s how we will learn why a person does not respond to treatment vs people who do. We have to learn about each person and treat/cure based on that individual person.
You make a great point. It sucks that many people do not have a primary care… and the ER has to figure out everything and has no one to consult… (generalizing here from my experience)
Hi thank u for ur tv interview i was a cna for 13 years and i worked in all fields with doctors and nurses . I understand so much what ur talking about. I was gonna be a nurse but i decided not to do that I loved being a cna though and working with the patients and nurses i loved all of them . I hurt my back so I quit my cna. Now I’m a clerk i look back and i loved everything about nursing my patients the nurses thank u so much u look so beautiful to me nurses i loved with my patients ❤ happy new year thank u for all u do 💋🌹
Not true. My plan is to become a holistic care NP. But Ive also found another route that I might take instead but at the end of the day people like for you to have credentials. I always grew up learning about holistic care since a child. You cant go up against something you are not educated on. You have to learn about the system to help change it. I’m not planning to change the system because there is no changing it. They will forever want money. But I can educate people about different options.

Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
RN In year three myself and feeling the same way. About to start NP school also but will be done with school after that.
Why not med School? it sounds like you wanted to go behind the scenes of treating the disease.
I thought about it at one point
