I’m in my senior year of my bachelors and I have to tell you it has not been terrible. The prerequisites were the TOUGHEST in my opinion!! It’s about time management!! I study heavily during the week and light on weekends so I have time to go out and have a social life. Can’t wait to be finishing up this spring :)
Kimberley Espinoza I feel like we don’t actually realize HOW MUCH TIME we actually spend on it till we delete it! But gotta do what you gotta do for school 😋
I was literally just saying tonight that I’m going to delete my social media! Just to not have the distraction but also because you don’t want future employers seeing things on your social media that might not be well perceived. Know what I mean?
There is no one on RUclips that had been as real as you have been. It was like I was sitting right in front of you and I was actually asking these questions. Your going to be a great nurse because it’s clear u have a heart of goal and a meaning of care and honesty
Thank you so much for this comment, it absolutely made my night. I try to be as completely honest with you guys on my channel and not even try to pretend I’m close to perfect so this was so nice to see 😭💗
I study one chapter per day . The amount of information isn’t something you can read and learn all in one or two days . You need to study and re study because at the end of the chapter you prolly forgot the first chapter . Also you can study critical thinking, you learn and put it together to make the right choice
Love your video you honestly stated so many facts about nursing school. My issue is learning to BALANCE..... work... school....study time and not to mention I’m a mother so I’m constantly going and constantly trying to find balance between them all 😫😍💉📚 thanks for the upload I look forward to these
I applaud you so much!! I could not even imagine being a momma in addition to being in nursing school. So many props to you girl. I'm happy you enjoyed ♡
Congrats by the way on nursing school!! I’m in my first semester of nursing school!! I’ve loved medicine since I was a little girl!! It’s always come easy for me, I feel like I’m just made for it. You’re going to be a great nurse! 😁❤️
In my second semester of nursing school and GIRL! I FEEL YOU NOW! Never felt so challenged or anxious but also so rewarded when I get something right or when I connect with a patient 😭
Nursing school starts January for me, and your videos are so incredibly helpful! Haven’t watched all but most likely will to grasp an idea of what nursing student life is. My program is fast track-16 months and Because it’s such a short amount of time, im a bit nervous but watching your videos comfort me because now I kinda know what to expect :)
Great video! 😊🙌🏽 I’d love to see a video on how you study/ prepare for exams. I also struggle with anxiety for nursing tests. -second semester nursing student
I'll add that onto my list 😊 and I'm happy you enjoyed it! Good to see that we all go through the struggle bus of test anxiety.. literally THE WORST. But I have been trying some new things that I can talk about in a future video ♡
Love your vids! You’re stunning! I’m applying to nursing school this fall, but your videos are so exciting to me seeing your journey through nursing school
I needed this! my semester for my prereqs start on Monday. our semesters last 11 weeks & we have a 2 week break, but my core nursing classes start October 1st. i’m scared, but excited! thank you so much 🥺💞
Did you go to college before going to a nursing school? This is my biggest struggle right now. I’m in college right now(community college) trying to get into the nursing program here but it’s not moving fast enough for me so idk if I should go to a 4 year school and work towards my BSN or go to a nursing school? What type of degree do you get after nursing school? I heard just a diploma not degree? Please Please get back to me if you can 😊😊
Hey babe not sure if your question was answered but "BSN" (Bachelors in Science of Nursing) is the name of the degree you'll receive after completing a 4 year nursing program. You will be an RN with a BSN. Or you can go thru a 2 year nursing program and you'll receive an "ADN" (Associates Degree in Nursing) and you will be an RN with an ADN. Starting out there is NO pay difference between an ADN-RN and a BSN-RN however most hospitals want you to go back for your BSN. I recommend applying to a few different nursing programs that way all of your eggs are not in one basket & you have options. There is no difference between a 4 year school and a nursing school. "School of nursing" is simply a title. You can either go to a community college and get a 2 year nursing degree (ADN) or a 4 year nursing degree at a university (BSN). I really hope this helps!
Your videos are great! You get into the realness of nursing school, and guide us on what we should focus on. Thanks so much for all the advice and information!! your videos make me sure I want to go into nursing school this spring!
girl, you are gorgeous! 💛🥺 i know this is just me but you remind of a latina dark haired version of Mel from Virgin River...😅😍 think it’s the personality & nurse background✨🩺🌸
When you talked about how much you studied on your first two exams... Where did you find out how to apply the questions / what nursing actions you will have to take? Did you learn that in class or in the same texts? :))) Btw I'm new to your channel and love it! I'm going to be starting my BSN Program this Fall Semester.
Honestly it was all trial and error!! My instructors told us to do lots of practice questions so that’s what I began doing! To get used to the style of question!
@@nickscaletta957 I HIGHLY recommend the NCLEX Saunders book for practicing Nursing/NCLEX style questions. Once really know & understand your core content you can answer any question. That book is great for summarizing content as well as providing NCLEX style questions. Honestly the more you practice NCLEX style questions the better you will get at answering them. Good luck.
ANYTHING is possible!!! Nursing school is EXTREMELY difficult! It is very time consuming however I've seen people work full time and be a wife, and mother & finish nursing school. The best advice i can give is to look into student loans so maybe you could work part time and go to school. I know a lot of people don't recommend taking out loans but i just finished nursing school & i couldnt have done it without taking out loans. I was able to work as a Nurse tech as little as 2 days a month because I saved my loans & used them to pay bills and focus 100% on school! Good luck
This is the one thing I was wondering about others usually talk about it a little but you have to have some personal life but spend a huge amount of time on school and I know I'll still have to work part time as well maybe only on the weekends but I heard sometimes class is on the weekends as well though 😶
@@DailyDoseofNursing I think I'm just going to get a loan and pay it after I graduate because everyone is saying it is crazy hard to work while in the nursing program
@@Dbf1339 Thats the BEST thing you could do! I know everyone is completely against student loans but I took out loans all while i was in school & i was able to work when i wanted & really just focus on school & not have to stress so much about work & bills.

I know this is a old comment and you are probably and great nurse by now, but may I ask how many hours a week did you study?
I'm studying for Phlebotomy & I deleted my social media to focus on studying. It really helped 😊
Kimberley Espinoza I feel like we don’t actually realize HOW MUCH TIME we actually spend on it till we delete it! But gotta do what you gotta do for school 😋
Kimberley Espinoza omg same lo
I was literally just saying tonight that I’m going to delete my social media! Just to not have the distraction but also because you don’t want future employers seeing things on your social media that might not be well perceived. Know what I mean?
I did the same back in 2013, it benefited me so much!

It's the "I'm a mother" part for me! Please tell us more matter of fact let me head to your channel cause ... Yea
Nice
Not only do you have to be knowledgeable in A and P (among other areas) but you also need to have pretty exceptional critical thinking.
VERY true!!
Congrats by the way on nursing school!! I’m in my first semester of nursing school!! I’ve loved medicine since I was a little girl!! It’s always come easy for me, I feel like I’m just made for it. You’re going to be a great nurse! 😁❤️
Amber Gray thanks girly!! Congrats on getting in to you as well!! 💕💗

Your skin is flawless. Thanks for such a great channel : future Nurse 👩🏻⚕️ 🥰
Do you think taking a critical thinking class could assist with the way questions are asked in the nursing program?
After watching over 20 videos you have answered my questions
Love your vids! You’re stunning! I’m applying to nursing school this fall, but your videos are so exciting to me seeing your journey through nursing school
I needed this! my semester for my prereqs start on Monday. our semesters last 11 weeks & we have a 2 week break, but my core nursing classes start October 1st.
i’m scared, but excited! thank you so much 🥺💞
I start nursing school in MA in two months and I already binge watched all ur videos in two days I can’t wait 😭
I am stuck between nursing and medtech. I need some Advice help.
How old are you? 😊

Thank you so much for this video! I am applying to nursing school next month and this video is so helpful to know what to expect.

I’m happy you enjoyed it 💕💗
I’m planning to apply for psych nursing and specialize in peds, any advice ?
No girly! I haven't worked as a nurse yet so I feel like I am not qualified to give any advice just yet :)
i’m going into my freshman year of college and i want to be a nurse. i’m so nervous omg but it’s what i really want to do.
girl, you are gorgeous! 💛🥺 i know this is just me but you remind of a latina dark haired version of Mel from Virgin River...😅😍 think it’s the personality & nurse background✨🩺🌸
Nursing seems really hard to get into where you live. In Australia, it’s pretty easy.
I’m feeling very anxious. Thank you for making these videos!
Will you be getting a job as a PCT/CNA since you’ve completed your fundamentals?
I am hoping for this upcoming semester to become a PCT ☺️
What is a PCT?
A patient care technician, basically a certified nursing assistant.
Your videos have definitely helped me! I am in my final week of my 1st semester!

I can do that 💗
Are u an rn or lpn
I will be an RN!
You're so pretty! :)
Thanks for the great info!
Do you think it’s possible to go to nursing school, work full time and be a single mom?
ANYTHING is possible!!! Nursing school is EXTREMELY difficult! It is very time consuming however I've seen people work full time and be a wife, and mother & finish nursing school. The best advice i can give is to look into student loans so maybe you could work part time and go to school. I know a lot of people don't recommend taking out loans but i just finished nursing school & i couldnt have done it without taking out loans. I was able to work as a Nurse tech as little as 2 days a month because I saved my loans & used them to pay bills and focus 100% on school! Good luck
PrettyKay00 what loans did you apply for & get for nursing school assistance?
REALLY AMAZING VIDEO!
Kool video very informative but if u don't mind me asking what spanish ethnicity are u from? Jackie
I'd be happy to pass average in nursing school as long as I graduate lol in prereq though it's A or bust
SAME lol! Still striving for As tho!! Haha. 😂
❤️❤️❤️
Wow thank u so much ❤️❤️
Awesome tips!!
Great advice 👍🏽
😍❤❤
Good video!
Heavensgirl74 I’m happy you liked it 💗
So good! 💕
I love you 💗💗💗😘😘
This is the one thing I was wondering about others usually talk about it a little but you have to have some personal life but spend a huge amount of time on school and I know I'll still have to work part time as well maybe only on the weekends but I heard sometimes class is on the weekends as well though 😶
Yeah! In our school you don't get to pick your assignments till one year in, so it could be on weekends or nights!!
@@DailyDoseofNursing yeah I hope I can find a way to balance that
@@DailyDoseofNursing I think I'm just going to get a loan and pay it after I graduate because everyone is saying it is crazy hard to work while in the nursing program
@@Dbf1339 Thats the BEST thing you could do! I know everyone is completely against student loans but I took out loans all while i was in school & i was able to work when i wanted & really just focus on school & not have to stress so much about work & bills.
