How’s it going? 9 years in 😳

Wilson Joseph Lee Donna Perez Brenda

I have been a LVN for awhile in a LTC facility ! Graduate RN in December ! Very good description! Blessed to have med aids and great cna for sure ! I do have to pass lasix and antibiotics as well as if any patient on IV antibiotics!

Hi Heather! I have watched your videos ever i have been a nursing student. I really liked your videos and they really helped me. I stumbled upon your old video and just started wondering where you at in your life now and how are you doing😊. You should make a video and update us😉.

Hi, as someone who doesn't really like medicine all that much, but is ok doing hands on skills such as phlebotomy (where you don't have to know too much about the patient's illness) which path makes more sense LVN or ADN ? or are they the same type of training/work?

What is the patient nurse ratio in your facility

Thanks so much for making this video!!

It’s all about perspective, no matter what job or rank you have in healthcare. It is an honor to serve on any level, and I have done that as a Tech during Nursing School, an RN with a ADN, and an RN with a BSN, and finally, I left because the “business” of Healthcare took over, now I work as an Engineer, and my job sadly resembles nothing of Nursing because it SHOULDN’T be a For Profit Business. Now I am at peace. I’ve been set free, and I done my time. So if you feel stuck, just know there’s more out there,... and I make 3x more than my highest rank in healthcare... Don’t feel like you are shut in.

Great advice, but the video could be done in a more quiet area. Can barely hear you and it is really loud. Thank you for the advice though, much appreciated 👍

If anybody would like to learn more about Long-term Care and the current options available, I work for a top, fortune 100 insurance company and would love to share some insight. Message me back and we can set up a conversation.

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for highlighting your job duties in LTC in a positive and realistic light.

Thank you for this!! Super helpful

I'm a CMA right now, however there are more job posting for LVN's. I'm considering doing an LVN program from an accredited school that's less than 10k. I'm just debating on weather or not I should do it BUT I also want to do it to make good money, good hours and not continue with school. Just be an LVN for the rest of my life. Thoughts?

It' been almost nine years, would love to know what you are doing now and a little about your journey. Thank you.

What's check off?

watching in 2019 and thinking, I bet you turned out to be one amazing nurse!! Thank you <3

Im at risk of developing a kidney stone! LTC RN here!

Thanks for the video! It’s great!

Question,, is it worth getting a BSN if I only have 10 more years to work? I enjoy what I do, dislike management and will make $2 more by getting it and I will be doing the same work (ER grunt).

I live in Austin as well and just was offered a job at St David’s! Really cool to see someone close to home talking about the department I’m going into !! (Med/Surg telemetry)

Nice video very descriptive

Great video! I appreciate you going through each step of your day! It was very helpful insight! I'm a nursing student headed into advanced Med Surg 3 for my BSN program. I'm thinking about doing MS for my fIrst nursing job. Do you feel its helped you build your skills and confidence as a new nurse?

Thanks for this!

Very nice. Thank you :-)

Can you send me that sheet? That’s pretty smart! I honestly need it, I have poor time management lol

I'm a nurse aide and I'm considering to be a lvn first because for the higher pay and the experience. Then a rn and I figured the prior experience will help and I want to be familiar with patient care and everything. Thanks for the advice. The pay will help and be nice to live independently.

You look so familiar. Are you in Fresno Ca?

Great program... degree.louisiana.edu/chris

I have a bachelor's degree in criminology and now I'm going to be going for my two year RN degree. After I obtain my RN do I still have to go for a bachelor's degree or will my bachelor's in criminology satisfy the bachelor component?

What a fuckin BORING video...yap yap yap

I have a question I want to be a med surg and a model, do you think I can do both at the same time!!!

How's your nursing career going now?

The fundus is the medical term for the top of the uterus, not the entire uterus.

www.meaok.com is the site for these kits. Thank's for this awesome video! I hope nursing school went well! We love our nursing students. <3

This has been really helpful. Thank you so much!!

This video spoke to my soul

Hey heather, I see that you've probably been a nurse for a little over 6 years! Congrats! I want to thank you for this very informative video! I am considering being a nurse for over a year now. I've been doing my research to see if that's what I really want since I took a break from school. I just don't know if I want to be a LPN or a RN (BSN) because I've been told that the job can increase in stress due to the more responsibilities as a RN. Is that true in your experience? What type of responsibilities do you have now as a RN than when you were an LPN? Do you believe that those responsibilities could cause more stress from day to day? thanks in advance.

Hi, where I can do a review for LVN? Thank you

Does anyone have the best answer to give me on how to transition from a nursing vocational school to a BSN to college

Thank you so much for this video! I am a single mom & I just got out the military. I've been wrestling with the decision of LVN or RN. I've been taking classes, but I start my science classes in Jan 2018. From watching this I'm going to take the LVN route.

Thank you soooo much I’m a 4 month old baby nurse lol...and still struggling. I feel so much better to hear your experience and recommendations

Heather, I am less than one year away from graduating and thinking about going out into the field with the knowledge from school alone is concerning and alarming. A scenario in Sim lab shook my confidence and made me question my abilities. I am so happy that you made this video, because often times, knowing that there are so many things we don't know is frightening and stressful! Its good to know that there is a support system in place and that you can feel free to be transparent about your knowledge set in order to be safe and competent and serve the patient well. This has been so helpful and calmed my nerves. I feel so much better about graduating soon. Thank you!

How much did you pay for lpn school? If you don't mind me asking..

Hey! Love your videos. Do you think nights on med surg are less busy than days? As in time to eat, sit down and chart. Also, do doctors round on nights?

I smoke some weed right after my night shifts. Puts me to sleep right away and leaves me refreshed for the next shift. :)

The LPN/LVN is trained to recognized when something is wrong and notify the RN. It's also about nursing skills. The RN is expected to do something when they find something wrong before they notify anyone. Like she said, it doesn't mean LPNs don't know anything. The best nurse ever worked with was an LPN. He was the standard bearer of med-surg floor.

Is it a bad idea to continue my community college courses to transfer and get a BSN all while getting into a quick LVN program?
