FIRST SEM MIDTERMS REVIEW | Nightingale College BSN

[@chellyb3730]

With the test and quiz are they timed? And did they offer study guides ?

[@honey-michellerussell8699]

I took college Algebra at UOP once I heard the horror stories about taking it at Nightingale College I said nope will not be taking it here lol. You got this I passed all my classes and I’m ready for the next semester

[@student_jenn]

Omg instant regret taking it at Nightingale lol Congrats on passing all your classes though!

[@jasminlara3448]

@@student_jenn why do you regret taking it at nightingale 😭tell me more ? 🥶

[@student_jenn]

@@jasminlara3448 it’s a lot of work! Lol it’s 15 assignments due each week plus a quiz 💀

[@jasminlara3448]

@student_jenn dang that’s a lot. Is that per class

[@student_jenn]

No just for college college algebra from what I’ve done

[@pandy7138]

Hi Jenn, can you work while going to school? Is it 100% online, im trying to figure out how to schedule work....

[@student_jenn]

Hi! Yes you can work while during the program lots of other students do and have to like me lol. It’s is online BUT there are clinical you have to travel out of state for if you’re a California learner. Clinicals are a week long once a semester. Except for your last semester the clinicals are 3-4 weeks longs out of state which is the preceptorship!

[@brendaalvarado3224]

Hiiii Jenn|! I think we have the exact same classes coming up this May semester! We got this :)

[@student_jenn]

No way! yes we got this and good luck girly!

[@HavenLana03]

Hi thank you so much for making follow up updates! Could you give any recommendations on what you would do different time management wise focus here less there? In considering starting 09/2024

[@student_jenn]

Hi! Im not sure how to answer your question correctly😭 only because everyone’s program plan is different and I’ve only done GE’s this semester (I list them in a separate video). My first nursing core semester is next sem (May) and I’ll be giving updates on the classes as time goes on. Best advice for time management is look ahead in the week to plan how much homework/time you’ll need to finish them. Focus on the work that has a hard deadline first. I hope this helps!

[@HavenLana03]

@@student_jenn I look forward to your content and thank you for your response

[@kay.creigh]

Future lpn thinking about nightingale here! Did your GI bill cover the bulk? I’ll be transferring all but 3 pre-reqs and hopefully will be testing out of classes.

[@student_jenn]

hey! if you're at 100% of the GI BILL then it shoud be all covered. Mine was not fully covered because I have a full schedule of taking 5 classes per semester and the GI BILL private school cap is $27k. I have to pay $1k out of pocket in my last semester. Hope this helps! if you have more q's I'm active on my IG so feel free to message me there!

[@blakeneathery3588]

We’ll be taking BSN 235 together! I’ll look out for your name if we are in the same class! It’ll be my third semester this summer.

same! we got this lol

[@gingerandspice1209]

Is there a hesi after every class?

[@student_jenn]

Hi! and nope! only certain nursing courses require the HESI in total there's about 6

[@gingerandspice1209]

​Ok ok..thanks

[@tonyjordan8583]

Hey Jenn…I start September 3rd at nightingale! I pushed back them trying to get me to start in May…(too soon) my only concern is the pay. Do they expect that $60 to 70,000 to be paid completely off by the time you graduate? Or do they expect some “school loan debt”?

[@student_jenn]

Hi! I’m sorry but don’t have experience in this because im using the GI BILL for financial assistance but! I would reach out to your financial advisor they’d have more information on payment plans. Congrats and Good luck with your nursing journey!

[@TheBitesize360]

Why is semester 2 two months away?

[@student_jenn]

It starts May 6th lol so 8 weeks from now

[@TheBitesize360]

@@student_jenn ahhh okay, when you explain it that way it doesn’t sound that far away at all, my bad! lol

[@student_jenn]

@@TheBitesize360 lol it’s okay! The weeks have flown 😭 next thing I know it I’m done 😂

[@tammyScott-jv9nl]

Hey, how was the clinical portion? How often do students have to go to clinicals? I know you just started. Not sure if you have the answer but I was watching a video on one young man stated that he go to clinicals once a month for five days or is it once every semester for five days?

[@student_jenn]

Hi! So yes I just started and I passed the 2 HESI's allowed for LVN's to take which took out 2 classes that required clinicals. Meaning I won't actually have to travel for any clinicals until my 3rd semester between Sep- December. Yes it is a week long and its not once a month its during the semester in week 10 I believe. Realistically it's once a semester for a week until the very end when its 3-4 weeks long for Preceptorship. I hope I can explained it well enough lol

[@cassieg8536]

How many semesters do you have total? I hear LVNs get 4-6 terms depending on what they transfer in & test out of so just curious 😊

[@student_jenn]

Hi! Mine is 5 semesters, tested out of 2 HESI's and transfered 54 college units

[@jasminlara3448]

Do you think it’s helpful being an LVN already and then going to the LVN to BSN program? Do you think it would be too much to understand if you just have a hs diploma ( no pre reqs) I’m considering nightingale to start in September…. Also, how much work/ assignments is there each week for all assignments total? I have kids and work so I am trying to make sure full time would work with my schedule before signing 😅up

[@student_jenn]

I don't think it would be too much to understand because at one point I also started with just a hs diploma and I survived lol. It does take time to get use to the medical terminology and the critical thinking part of nursing but repetition will help and the clinicals will also help make it all make sense! I'm more familiar with nursing by being an LVN in my opinion so personally I would say it does help me understand the material a bit better. GOOD LUCK and I hope this helps!!!

[@jasminlara3448]

Okay that helped me feel better, I have my interview with nightingale today. A bit nervous… Thank you soo much for responding! 🫶🏼

[@student_jenn]

You got this! Good luck!

[@caseyvargas3220]

Hi Jennalyn! I am doing research on the Nightingale College BSN program as a potential student. Do you mind me asking what your projected graduation time is? I'm trying to plot the fastest way possible for me. 😅

[@student_jenn]

Hey! I’m graduating August 2025. Everyone’s program plan is different but as long as you have all your pre-requisites done and if you’re an LVN and pass the 2 HESI exams you’re looking at 4-5 semesters Good luck! ☺️

[@erickat2839]

What classes are you taking right now? I’m set to start in May but so nervous I’m not good at writing papers /discussions 😭

[@student_jenn]

I’m taking GE’s right now so it’s Pathophysiology Western Civilization College Algebra English 311 Nutrition It’s alot of work but definitely doable! It’s completely normal to be nervous! I feel like I’ll be anxious and nervous until I graduate lol

[@Theog1414]

Hi! So am I. I feel like I've gotten more anxiety now than when I first started school. Math is definitely not my forte

[@bat29950]

​@@student_jenn i just started with Nightgale and im currently taking Nutrition, pathophysiology and English 311. I feel so overwhelmed already. Can i ask how did you study for Pathophysiology? Any apps you used? Im trying to get through the 1st chapter and it's not sticking.

[@student_jenn]

@@bat29950 Pathophysiology was tough for me but watching animated videos on youtube helped me understand better than reading plain text! I'm a visual learner and tactile so I would draw figures as well. I hope this helps and good luck!

[@saadthemusafir]

Hello Jenn, I am planning on doing this same program. Can I get your email to further discuss details?

[@student_jenn]

I don't share my personal email sorry! but I do have an instagram @student_jenn that's deticated to nursing school if you can message me there. I haven't gotten the chance to create another email for this channel because I feel like it be too overwhelming
