Man direct entry programs are amazing! It’s so competitive where I live that they require all prereqs done first, most applicants have 4.0 and are bilingual, have healthcare experience, a prior degree, and 85+ on the TEAS. I have a 4.0, but no prior degree and I’m not bilingual, so I don’t have a chance of being accepted. I don’t know why they make it so hard, since our healthcare settings employ so many travel nurses from other states who never would've qualified for our programs 🥴 Really feels like a scam sometimes. The BSN program I’m working with now is direct entry and offers the didactic portion online. Because I have my LVN and all my prereqs done and most of my GE courses, it’s less than 2 years and I didn’t have to take the TEAS to get in, either. Good luck! Love your videos!

Thank you for making this, Emma! I could honestly listen to you talk about nursing all day. 😂

I love watching your videos. I’m a second semester nursing student and I’m enjoying my clinicals so much. I like seeing the little differences between states or schools. I’m doing my psych clinical and foundations clinical. We’re rooting for you!!! 👏👏👏

I’ve been watching you for over a year… and I can’t believe how similar my thought/goals are… I am stunned and literally just called my mom to tell her 😂. I’m only a senior in high school, but am starting nursing/pre-nursing this fall. One speciality I’m interesting is pediatric oncology. I want to gain experience then do travel nursing and then get my NP! Literally stunned!! ❤

this means so so much to me.. you’re amazing❤️ i’m so glad we relate on so many things! you got this and good luck on starting your nursing journey! it’s so tough but so worth it❤❤❤

as a very introverted person who barely speaks to those around me whether at uni or at my work place. Seeing u that excited while talking about how much u love communicating with others, helping them and making a difference in their lives and u wanted to become a nurse for this reason. don't know why but inspired me to break out of my isolated circle and start making an effort to change the way I think about this topic. I truly want to experience the feeling of happiness after communicating with others because I am usually very exhausted after any social event or activity no matter how simple it was

[@emmagrace0413]

i love this so much!!! i’m so so glad i could inspire you❤❤❤ i believe in you!

What school did you attend?

[@Darren-kw4ih]

[@emmagrace0413]

[@blank15053]

so you did all your pre reqs while in nursing school? Is your nursing school slightly longer than the average nursing school?

[@emmagrace0413]

yes i did my pre reqs while in nursing! its hard to explain but.. my first 3 semesters of college were pre reqs with one nursing class each. now im in my 4th semester and from here on out is all nursing classes alongside our core classes. my program is 4 years as i’m getting my BSN!

[@emmagrace0413]

forgot to mention, we applied to nursing school as we applied to college! so i started nursing from first semester :)
