This video helped save my nursing school career. I listened and took heed of your advice which worked well in my favor. I went from barely making C’s to making A’s and B’s on exam!

[@vanessatheurbantarotgoddes2192]

Great

[@ChristinaJune23]

"TREAT LIKE A JOB, PUT IN THE HOURS! ! GOOD TIP. THANK YOU. I START NEXT WEEK JAN. 2018

[@nursekaitland9410]

“If you can give a boss 40 hours a week there’s no reason why you can’t give yourself 9-12 hours to study.” That was perfect ❤️

[@aw8758]

very true (unless someone has to work) but i always say try not to work during nursing school

[@colinniko8574]

I know I'm kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good site to stream new movies online?

[@darianbrandon1179]

@Colin Niko ehh I use flixportal. just google for it :P -darian

[@colinniko8574]

@Darian Brandon thank you, signed up and it seems to work :D I appreciate it !

[@darianbrandon1179]

@Colin Niko Glad I could help :)

[@fitnessbabe7958]

I’m here in 2018. Please leave this video up. I am going to Nursing school in 2019.

[@dorakingston9500]

LPN to RN student, fulltime worker, and mommy to a 9 year old, not sure how i do it but i am, always with my books, priorities priorities. anyway love your video, great advice.

[@lelizzy2746]

Dora Kingston add me on messenger, I need some tips or make a KZbin channel

[@Homesteadacrelot]

Your comment is from 2 years ago but hope all is going well and still going after that RN degree ♡

[@zanderlife913]

@Jayson M LPN's take the same first two semester classes as RN's do but stop there. Only difference.

[@hiphopopotamus5]

This is the best advice I've ever heard about school and work ethic. I am treating my degree as a job and it's going so much better. It's something I *want* to do rather than something I *have* to do.

[@alexluv2ify]

Im taking a 12 unit course. Im awake from 5am and get home at 5pm. Then Im expected to study and maintain a household! RN school is no joke

[@Smile2DayTears2Morro]

Hey girlie! I JUST finished my first semester of nursing school. It was nooooo joke! I just took Fundamentals, Health Assessment, and Pharmacology and I'm so glad that's over. lol Second seamster starts Jan 11th. This break is so well needed! Congrats on your awesome grades.

[@billiegallagher8401]

Are you doing clinical now?

[@elizabethemami5673]

Are you done now?

[@janicestrange6465]

Billie Gallagher are you in nursing school

[@shinap5709]

Honestly, these tips are so helpful, and they go above and beyond the classroom! Absolutely love it! I love how you were so passionate when speaking about investing in yourself and your education! It honestly blew my mind away because I never considered being a full time student as a job! I agree with you 100%. If we're willing to bend backwards for others, we should be more than willing to do so for ourselves and our education! Such helpful pieces of advice! I can't wait to implement them all during my upcoming semester! :)

[@HebrewJerusalemPrince777]

Her advice and yours was very helpful! thanks guys.

[@lindsayheaton1122]

I have been a CNA for 10 years and am FINALLY starting nursing school in a week and a half. I am extremely nervous (and of course excited) and want to succeed through this next journey and finally reach my goal and your video helped me feel confident that with hard work and dedication, I can do this! I wrote down your tips. Thank you so much!

[@joshuamartin1999]

How did it go???

[@sbm7983]

thank you so much for this video. It was well worth those precious 15 minutes outside of my book. Despite my love for nursing I just recently experienced the famous "hopeless break down" after taking my first test and after watching this video I feel so much more confident and ready to tackle the rest of my experience in nursing school. Best wishes:)

[@cgmarin83]

Great video you really inspired me to become a great student. I have the feeling that one day when I become a nurse I would thank this video for teaching me how to study God bless.

[@LornAuArcos32]

Thanks so much for this motivation! I just finished my 1st year of nursing with straight A's! I'll be coming to your channel regularly for more tips.

[@AshababyO]

Thank you for the encouragement at the end. I am 35, I have a family. When I got my first bachelors I said I was DONE! But here I am going back to school. It is scary and I have heard horror stories. I keep wondering if I can make this happen. I appreciate you and all the other ladies who are sharing their experiences and helpful tips with others! 😘

[@PRETTYCAKES27]

Ashababy O hey how is the program going??

[@MoroMoro1]

The passion you have when you speak about giving yourself as much time as you give someone else is very inspiring. Much needed. I felt like this was a pep talk directly towards me. I start my second half of my 4 year BSN in September and I am really getting anxious the closer it gets.

[@HonestOpinions]

These were great tips. I'm not in nursing school yet but I am taking my prerequisites and anatomy and physiology is no joke. It is so much information to take in and I will apply these tips to study for my test that is coming up. Thank you.

[@Tyster81]

as someone who also did well in nursing school, and now with my master's degree in nursing education I think these are excellent tips and advice. it's what I did as both an undergrad (GPA 3.5) and graduate school (3.9) and what I tell the students I'm teaching. I just think this is great!

[@wueskew169]

CandidAnn -- this is a great set of study tips. Memorization: Google Anki -- an electronic flashcard system. Zach Highley, a KZbin influencer and medical student, also has some great information on story techniques. Zach is a HUGE believer in Anki and also the use of practice questions and tests.

[@CandidAnn]

I think i might have also used Anki, but I didn't like it over traditional index cards. There's something about writing it down that helped me.

[@musicksol]

Nursing school is hard, but if you're adaptable then you make it through. First semester is hard as you begin to learn, and think like a nurse. Every teacher has power points. Take notes on power points. High light what they emphasize. Restudy and expand. Lean on your peers. Don't get stuck on a bad grade. Learn from it, and move on. That's how you succeed.

[@briawilson6506]

This video helped me so much. I was an A student coming into nursing school and even my first semester of nursing school. Now I am in my specialty courses and it becomes difficult for me to keep the A average. I'm going to take your advice and hope that I will get an A in my next courses. Thank you!

[@nepalmabecaram7249]

Thank you!! I agree with your comment about keeping everything to yourself- NO BODY NEEDS TO KNOW--... I had an excellent job with 100% tuition reimbursement, I was applying It to my pre-reqs and would study during my break time at work... My coworkers were so envious and made my life a living hell!! I quit my job due to stress and applied for financial aid--- I'm about to start Nursing School... studying in a stress free environment is so worth it... You are totally on point..Excellent tips👏🏼👍🏼🤓

[@Zara_Luna]

Nepalma Becaram, why does it feel like you walked in my shoes. lol... I can not agree more to KEEP YOUR DREAMS, GOALS to yourself. I also had a similiar situation with coworkers and yes, a stress free environment is so worth it. People oddly to say do not like a person following their goals or just being happy with self. Its sad but true. not all people though just most lol, . Have a support system :)

[@clairealetha4274]

Nepalma Becaram I am having the same problems at work too. All of a sudden everybody starts to hate me (even the bosses) at work because they know I'm bout to attend nursing school. It's funny how people turned against an individual when they tries to improve themselves.

[@coverinthebloodrobinson6940]

It's. Scary but true. People get jealous of me because I'm smart. So I stay to myself when I'm at school and work. And pray all the time.

[@Prittyladylex]

I just did the same thing!

[@alexluv2ify]

I am going to try this for my 3rd test. First test I got a 70% second test I got an 81%....lets see If I can get a 90% this next test ♡

[@cee1970]

Yes! Make your success a priority. Put in the hours. We put in hours for someone else, we should put In time for ourselves too!

[@a.nefertiti5093]

Omg i love this , you just gave me the extra push of confidence i needed and am 100% sure that i wanna go into nursing school Inshallah !

[@brooked2495]

I dont think i have ever liked a KZbin video but i had to login on a different device and search for your video again just so that i could like it. Amen! Your a wonderful woman! You're empowering others rather than scaring them away from nursing like so many others do. Thank you so much for putting your voice out there like this. You've made a difference in my point of view. Your words will stick in my head as i begin nursing school. Dont stop doing what your doing because your words are pushing women like me to keep pushing forward against the grain. Thank you.

[@blondieblu8819]

Is everyone else could do it, why can’t you. I needed to hear that tonight! Thank you for this video!

[@KaiExploresLife]

great advice for any field of study!

[@CandidAnn]

+naturalhairful Agreed, the tips are universal. Congrats once again on your degree. Well done.

[@KaiExploresLife]

+CandidAnn Thank you Ms Lady! However what I recently achieved was my License to practice independently as a clinician. The exam we have to take is comparable to what I believe you will have to do after you finish school to get your license to become a nurse. it's also comparable to taking the Bar to become a lawyer. however it's not as long or expensive.

[@lovedog49507]

+CandidAnn I have a problem. This teacher give us an outline and a lot of information is missing and sometime her outlines do not match up with what she has on the overhead. What can you do about a difficult teacher ?

[@CandidAnn]

+lucia nguyen In that situation, I usually use my cellphone to quickly take a picture of the overhead projector. Hope that helps.

[@Mmm-ve7hy]

[@SR-pp1be]

I so needed to hear this! I've been feeling down a little because im currently in school doing my prerequisite and not doing so good in my science class. This video gives me motivation to hang in there and great study tips. Working full time, and a single mom going to school full time is hard. But I'm up for the challenge!

[@chelsieorbase5429]

Loved this video! Aside from her great tips she gives very good advice and life lessons that are very important and vital! I love her message of if you can wake up at 6am to catch a train for your job to work for someone else’s company, then you can wake up at 6 am to study for YOURSELF. You should give yourself equal or more amount of energy to yourself than you do for someone else! Love it!

[@suzanh7413]

I absolutely fell in love with you; I loved how you see things from a different perspective! You're definitely an inspiration to me if not many. Thank you for sharing this video. I wish you the very best of luck :)

[@BIGKAYEE]

Can't believe this was 5 years ago but this is truly helpful - thank you!

[@kathleendonlinger7023]

I am a first semester nursing student, thank you for this video!!! I appreciate you taking the time to share your tips, great advice!

[@aw8758]

loving this honest advice sis thank you! God bless. a girl that got straight As once told me that you need to treat school as a way of life, and as a subculture and you will get As

[@angelhodges9916]

You are the definition of a strong work ethic. I aspire to be you when I start nursing school in January. Thanks for all the great tips!

[@shawntaigolden2066]

I love love your videos, preach, yessss! I start nursing fall 2021 and work Fridays and Saturdays, so I will be putting that study time in

[@destinystarr3837]

The job analogy was perfect. We should definitely have just as much dedication towards our education. It's so important.

[@ej_l2525]

Starting nursing school next year..transitioning from engineering. I love Science since a kid! Im excited.

[@taylorlaumann9385]

Thank you so much for making this! I'm starting nursing school this upcoming fall semester and I've been scouring the Internet for tips on how to be successful. This was extremely helpful.

[@ameliarobinson5717]

Thank you soooo much for this video!!! I begin Nursing School in the fall and I have viewed several videos on how hard it is and I am completely aware!! Also, what drew me to this video was the title!! Everyone keeps saying "you used to be a an A student but now that you're in nursing school you'll become a C student"t!!! and up until I viewed your video I accepted this way of thinking!! I am an A student and I really want to do the work to remain an A student in nursing school esp. since I want to further my education and become an CRNA! so thank you so much for your tips and advice and I am going to spend the rest of the summer freshening up on my conversions and math and I do plan to purchase the NCLEX-RN book soon so I can get a feel for what its like. Thank you so much, you are God sent!!

[@MyHeartBig]

ugh, I needed this. I loved this video so much. especially the part of making equal time for yourself that you would give a boss. nursing school is such a commitment but i think its passion driven. Thank you CANDID 🌸

[@audriannagonzalez9899]

Thanks for being so real, upfront and informative. There were a few new tips that I picked up here that other nursing youtube tip videos didn't mention. Love your passion and how you're upfront about things. It makes us think and is inspiring! Keep the nursey videos coming.

[@ElliieYasmiinbratz]

I find this video to be so motivating. When you spoke about how we treat work in comparison to studying, that hit me! Thanks so much for this video

[@cw9533]

I watched 3 nursing videos, this is the best one. I'm going to take onboard "treat studying like a job". And I'll do the cursing for you. Fucking A, great tips.

[@oziomajibunoh3088]

I wish I watched this sooner.. I'm about to start second semester of my second year. I love this!!! Every nursing student really needs to see this.

[@waleoyedeji282]

Thanks for sharing. I'm also an A student in Nursing school. I will graduate in May this year and your tips tally a lot with what I do also. Congratulations for finding what works for you. Thanks for helping others.

[@Orleana234]

Thank you, everyone keeps telling me to prepare for low grades. Thank you for your video.

[@NaptuRo90]

Can you do more nursing school and nursing videos? I like your approach

[@Stembeker]

Thank you for the tips!!! I am a full time nursing student, a husband, and a father. I am a first year nursing student. Even though, I passed all my courses last semester, I feel overwhelm with the amount of workload I had to do. Anyways, I will apply these tips this semester!!! Thanks again...

[@brittinythomas9517]

❣ this. Especially the part about working so hard at a job but not doing it for yourself.. Love Love Love it

[@michelled5799]

Thank you so much for your tips! I start my first semester of nursing school this upcoming January and this was just what I needed to hear. :)

[@Kamiixomuziq]

i actually wrote these points down! great video, you're so helpful ! loved it. i start nursing school in January! :) thank you for making this video

[@dlbpansies2001]

CandidAnn, this video has been so helpful to me. I will be starting the nursing program this fall. I work FT, and I have a two year old about to be three next week. I was very worried about taking care of my son but finding time to study. I'm gonna just rake the time away from my home and go to the library. Getting my family, which is my husbands family, to realize I need them to step up to the plate has been challenging. I'm taking everything to heart that you said and I am going to do this.

[@CandidAnn]

+Dianne' Boyd You definitely can succeed, but it takes being extremely disciplined with you time management.

[@ALAAALAA-jk1kk]

[@renadmansour6502]

You truly inspired me to study and work hard. I have finals for the next two weeks and seeing this video made me really happy. Thank so much and please do more videos about nursing school and such 💜

You are so right and positive motivating force that the Truth 🎯

[@francyelefonseca1512]

Great advice !! And your smile is amazing! Great key points !

I’m an automatic new subbie within the first 5 minutes. My spirit agrees with you and your tips make a lot of sense. Thank you lady! 🌹

[@elizabethemami5673]

How is it going?

[@coverinthebloodrobinson6940]

Me I start next year. I have an aunt who has a master's degree in nursing she tells me that I can do it so I'm ready

[@leeh5812]

Yes great advice! I love your passion!

[@ForeverBrianaM]

You are awesome! I really needed this especially when you said treat it like your job and do it for you. It really hit home! I am taking med surg this semester and literally had sleepless nights thinking about it but I realized that if I give it my all and put my time in then I can't fail. I am definitely gonna rewatch cause this was super encouraging.

[@SL-ub6fe]

Thanks for sharing this video!! I start nursing school in August and I have been panicking because I've been hearing that it is so hard to make As. This video has made me feel a bit better.

[@JayeMarie14]

I just want to say that you are completely awesome and so inspirational! Thank you my sister for blessing us with your wisdom and passion! Wish me luck I start in the Summer!!!

[@neha11423]

God bless you.. I totally needed these tips before I start my nursing school this september.. Thank You sooooo much.

[@CandidAnn]

+neha nehreen Glad you found these tips useful.

[@soniamartell9220]

These are some great tips! I stress and sometimes become hopeless, but you're right, there are many nurses out there, and if they can do it, so can I. Thanks for the video!

[@takeydamonique4307]

you are a beautiful passionate human being, great inspiration to me.

[@sweetpotatosista6214]

I absolutely love your energy Queen! I just found your channel and I'm eating up all this information, I'm currently doing my prerequisites at a community college. Thank you for this amazing and detailed video.

[@etoilemerveilleuse3459]

Wow thank you so much! Very informative and straightforward ❤

[@rcp6326]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been a nurse for over 40 years. I am a professor in a school of nursing and these are excellent tips with one exception ( recording the lecture). I don't allow recording of my lectures, however it is a good idea to ask your professor if recording is okay. Your note taking methods was excellent and the other tips for studying were perfect ideas. I know you will be just fine and will be a great nurse. Congratulations!

[@CandidAnn]

+Regina C My A&P professor didn't allow us to record lectures and anything said in class, including things that were not in our textbook was included on our exams. It drove me crazy trying to write fast enough (esp. with medical words) and still try to understand the content. I've always been curious, why don't some professors allow students to record the lecture?

[@CariBaez]

What's up with no recording? ._. just don't let the student to let you hear your voice.

[@germany2263]

+CandidAnn I've been a nurse since '86 and a nursing instructor since 2001. I don't understand why some profs don't allow students to record their lectures. I suppose it could be insecurity. I don't mind if my students record me whether they ask or not. My goal is for the student to learn. Students have different learning styles, so if recording helps them, I'm all for it.

[@CariBaez]

Germany Kitsi great. You might be my dream professor. Are you patient to teach others when we are really ("stupid" .-.) To understand something?

[@poptart357]

This is my all time favorite motivational video, I could apply this to all aspects of my life. Thank you so much for the positive message!

[@Edensparadise1]

I'm going back to graduate school very soon and I appreciate this video and your advice! Much love!

[@prettymuriel]

Thank you. I start my first semester Jan. 7 and I’m trying to get prepared And organized. Thank you for sharing great tips. Valid points on study hours and enforcing it. I’ll be back to hear more tips from you.

[@chrisch90]

Great tips! Stating the RN program in a couple weeks 😅

[@thomassevilla4452]

Awesome video!!! God bless u for sharing this

[@GusMontoyadaisosasen02]

Absolutely Great video. Thank you for your view points of self importance. Very passionate and critical to a positive character change.

[@torirachellexo]

Thank you so much great advice ! I start January 2020. Wish me good luck

[@Cap661]

This is really great advice that isn't cliche (i.e. 'Study hard'). I have a 45+ min commute each way, so I especially like the idea of recording lectures. I will have to incorporate your reading tips, since I am one of those who likes to read everything just in case, and it is really overwhelming, in Nursing 101 especially. Thanks!

[@jenflores2029]

you're such a positive person and I enjoyed every piece of advice you had to share! thank you for uploading this video! I just subscribed :)

[@daqtnva00]

Wow this is the first positive thing Ive heard about nursing so far! smh This was so refreshing. I will be utilizing these study tips for sure, and I'm so glad I came across your page. Thank you!

[@Lovewhard]

I love your advice how to get an A and tips how to study and taking notes! I am starting my nursing this coming sept fall 2017

[@omgshutup1384]

Great video! Thank you so much for this. I'm in my first semester of nursing school and BARELY passed my first two tests! And I usually am an A student. So I was freaking out. I am starting to finally adapt to how to effectively study and I appreciate these tips. I will def use them!

[@germany2263]

When I was in nursing school I would turn my written lectures into tapes that I would listen to whenever I was not studying. Similarly you could tape your lectures and re take the notes OR add to notes already taken. Students almost always miss some part of lecture because they're taking notes. Good luck to you future nurse!!

[@Bestmepossible]

My classes don't allow recordings 😢 and I would love listening to my lectures.

[@kelleyjoseph396]

Thanks! I loved all your tips. Excellent!

[@CariBaez]

actually your notes organizing is so good. .-.

[@blackandwhitelove6477]

I love your insight. Great tips as well. I start my program in January, and I'm so excited!

[@TheRiKASTARR]

FORREAL! Girl if I even think work getting in the way of my studies I'm quitting. I'm fortunate that I may do so thank God

[@Thenebraskahanger]

Great tips! Ty so much. Going to use the different colors for note taking as well. 🎓

[@samanthaterry4062]

[@genevievee5329]

[@cutema101]

Great advice and very on point!! I'm about to finish my second semester in Nursing 😁

[@th3beautynurse]

this was so helpful and you really made me think it is amazing how we can get slack and lazy when it comes to study time THANKS ALOT!! I Needed THIS!!

[@irene7422]

Thank you very much this is very helpful I will follow this to pass
