FASTEST WAY TO BECOME A NURSE | LPN IN ONE YEAR | NURSE SALARY

[@juliaunasamone]

I’ve been an LPN for seven years! I started when I was 23. It’s now time for me to go back to school and get my RN license but being an LPN has been wonderful for me! I grossed $90k last year and I’m living in a very low paying state. I’m just here to encourage people to do it! i worked full time and went to school full time. I’m telling you…. It’s tough, but it’s worth it! whenever you take the boards, be sure to apply for the multi state compact license instead of just the state you live in. I’ve done a lot in my career: long term care management, assisted living management, agency (jail, school, LTAC, med surf units), home health, doctors office

[@sidneymonica]

Hey ! Thank you for stopping by and dropping some GEMS 💎! Coming from a well seasoned nurse, congratulations on a successful year in your career. I encourage you to continue on in your education. Considered subscribing to my channel, I will be talking a-lot more about RN field and education

[@preciouschituku8077]

Wow!!! Well done. Do you live in TX by any chance?

[@topgirl8533]

were you required to become an rn or can you stay an lpn?

[@queenbeelifestyle8278]

You inspire me

[@kanegrey7697]

With the current nursing shortage, it’s crazy how many hospitals are hiring LPNs/LVNs on med surg, telemetry and emergency rooms.

[@FairBeautyEssentials]

Well, what is so crazy about the hospitals hiring LPN LVS?

[@jennifertorres3051]

Some hospitals never stopped hiring LPNs. The local hospital around my area never stopped employing them. It's only in certain states where hospitals stopped hiring them and then picked them back up when covid hit, but certain states never stopped hiring them to begin with.

Why are you too bitter about LPN?​@@jennifertorres3051

[@texasindy2193]

You are so humble, encouraging, and such a role model. Please keep up the good work...

[@sidneymonica]

Wow !! Thank you so much 🙏🏽🫶🏽 I will !

[@littlemissroxie]

Wow! Your parents are brilliant! I definitely would love for my children to sit for the nursing exam at 18. God bless your parents for giving you the head start every child deserves! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@sidneymonica]

Yes indeed !! I want this for every child. Definitely the start to a long rewarding career. Thank you !!

[@melissaw33]

I’m graduate next month as a LPN! I’m doing the LPN-RN bridge in June. I graduated high school with my cosmetology license. Can you do a video on your full process?

[@sidneymonica]

Hey Melissa! Big congratulations on your accomplishments thus far 👏🏽 I can most definitely talk more-about my transitions from LPN to RN. Stay tuned

[@lamontestrickland5474]

How long is your LPN to RN bridge program? Also will you graduate with your BSN or ADN?

[@melissaw33]

@LaMonte Strickland, It's 11 months because of the transition class. It's an accelerated program tho. ADN.

[@morningprayers19]

Here in Ohio, my school calls the entrance test HESI exam.(i just passed, yayyy me!!!) I start LPN program in October 2024. I have been a CNA 24 years. 😊

[@sidneymonica]

Wow 🤩 fantastic! Big congratulations to you and best of luck in the program, you got this !!

[@enroman268]

I'm so happy and grateful to listen to your speech but now it's 2023 and I think they're paying LPM more money now I am a PC T and I make 21 an hour. I was in the nursing program but it's so hard so I step back and I'm taking LPN thank God for that once again you are great to listen too.

[@sidneymonica]

Thank you so much !! I appreciate the support 🙌🏾 you are absolutely correct this was back in 2017* I said 19. After Covid they increased the pay for most healthcare professionals 👏🏽. Congratulations on starting school again!! I wish you the best of luck on your journey🫶🏽

Good job my Daughter and law enforcement and encouragement are the best way to help .keeping going God bless you.

Thank you ❤️🙏🏽

[@mommafitbit3701]

I am proud of you for going on to further your education. Some would have stopped as soon as high school was over and that first check hit the bank.

[@LolaSemone]

Very informative video! Can you make a video on your experience working as an LPN in home health?

[@sidneymonica]

Thank you ! Most definitely I can. Stay tuned

[@pankajjoshi2032]

Here in BC, Canada, there is not much pay difference between HCA/CNA and LPN; exactly $3-5 extra per hour but its takes 2 years to complete LPN. So, in a year you're making only $7,000 extra a year: if you put in lots of overtime.

[@sidneymonica]

Right ! And not much difference in pay From LPN to RN. It all depends on your end role and what you like to accomplish

[@pankajjoshi2032]

@@sidneymonica Oops. Here in Canada, LPN start from 31.89 upto 40.12, where sa RN 40.65 and goes all the way to 57

[@ceeceebrownn]

I get paid 17$ hr now and I work at amazon .. I’m in school for LPN.. and I want 28-30$ when I finish lol 😂😂

[@sidneymonica]

I think you will ! Nurses are definitely getting paid more now. Also depending on where you work and the state the pay can vary. Best of luck on your journey

[@Proberbs31Princess]

You can get way more than that by obtains certifications after you get your lpn

[@Oliviagold__]

Look into agencies they have the highest pay for nurses so far! Very good pay

By any chance, do you know any Filipinos who studied LPN here in the Philippines and was able to work directly in US, has a working visa processed by an agency, all just by taking NCLEX?

[@sidneymonica]

Hey ! Don’t familiar with that but some jobs do sponsor nurses. They are out there

[@judylowe2688]

So you pass your nclex-lpn test, is your license transferable all across the United states? Because I was told if you go to a school where you just take the Hesi 2 test to get in the lpn program, you're only allow to work in that state! Is that true?

[@sidneymonica]

Back then they did not have multi-license for LPN, had to get licensed by endorsement if you want to practice in a specific state. Now I believe there is an option to have a multi-license LPN license as long as it is in a compact states you can practice in other compact states with the one license. Hope that answered your question.

[@jungalvez3479]

Hi there, do you still have a reviewer for the entrance exam? Or any tips what will be the questions and answers for it? Thank you.

This was over 10 years ago, I do not but what a great idea 💡 to create one for my viewers. My best advice, stay focused and consistent, avoid distractions and you got this !!! I wish you the best of luck.

How much is lpn school?? Is this something I can get done in a comunity college??? or is it better to go cna-lpn-rn route???

[@sidneymonica]

Hey ! These are great questions! I would be more then happy to elaborate on these different options, email down below. LPN school was 100 free to me because I did it in high school as a trade program. LPN schools are usually at technical colleges. However this care vary in different states
