Hey everyone!
As you can see by the title of the video, I got accepted into an accelerated nursing program!
I decided to share with you what I did to be a competitive applicant when applying to different nursing programs. In the video I share:
1) The most common prerequisite courses required for different nursing programs (A&P, chemistry, microbiology, nutrition, etc).
2) Work / Volunteer hours - also some tips on different jobs that look great on your resume and allows you to accrue healthcare hours.
3) Some of the standardized exams that you may be required to take.
4) What you can to stand out and be more competitive.
5) Why I chose the ABSN program as opposed to an ADN program or the traditional 4-year nursing.
programs - also some pros and cons of each degree.
I hope this is useful for anyone who is looking to pursue nursing as a future career! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me!

Hi! My name is Ivy and I am a nursing student in an accelerated BSN program. I have experience working in a dermatology and cosmetic clinic and have performed several cosmetic procedures including CoolSculpting and Hydrafacials. I hope to work in this field in the future as a registered nurse! Here I will be sharing my nursing journey, my favorite beauty products, and skincare! ♥

Can you do a video of when you studied in the morning till 1am. Did you take time out for lunch and dinner? How many breaks did you take and for how long?

[@Marissatro1773]

This was a great video!! Very helpful advice. I am a registered dietitian and I decided to go into nursing. Will definitely look into a CNA license

[@NurseIvyRN]

I’m glad you found this video helpful! Congrats on starting your new journey and good luck in nursing school!

[@user-sd5ow2lz9o]

They should make it a requirement that all nursing students work as a CNA for at least 12 months, either before enrolling for nursing school, or at some point early in your college attendance, hopefully early before you have to start doing clinicals, as you would not have time to do both at the same time. Everyone should work as a CNA for that 1 year as the experience will really be beneficial for you to see nurses up close and ensure that you still really want to be a nurse, before you spend all the time and money going all the way through your nursing school program! Plus, nurses who were once CNAs will hopefully then realize how important CNAs are if you are lucky enough to work in a center that cares enough to also hire CNAs to assist their nurses meet all the more basic needs of the patients, freeing up the nurses to focus their energy and time on the more advanced procedures. So hopefully the nurses won't look down on and treat the CNAs they get lucky enough to work with as their maids, or slaves...which some nurses feel they are entitled to do. Doing the job for a time will make you appreciate how much they are expected to do, for so little pay!! (Well, hopefully!!

I just got accepted into the program and I would like to study in a head since the program is fast pace. What do you recommend me to start studying ?, what class do you take in the first semester? And we’re did you do your ABSN program?

[@somsunny7718]

What school did I apply? I’m also heading to that direction. My undergrad is in business, and I want to go to ABSN also

[@smellofpaints9219]

I am in my undergrad physical therapy degree and some point every day i feel like i dont want to do this and switch to nursing , but i dont knw , I loved the video 💕

[@NurseIvyRN]

Hello Pramisha, When you say undergraduate degree, are you referring to a bachelors degree in something that will help you get your pre-reqs for PT school? I believe most (if not all) PT programs are masters degree and are starting to transition to DPT. If you are getting your bachelors, fortunately you can apply to an accelerated nursing program afterwards since a bachelor degree is a pre-req for the ABSN programs! I worked as a PTA before getting into nursing school so I’m pretty familiar with the PT field. Let me know if you have any questions! I’d be more than happy to answer whatever I can :)

@@NurseIvyRN thank you so much for replying , i am so glad to be receiving your words , yes the ABSN program is what i search for a lot but the sad thing is i am not from USA and in my country they do not have ABSN program :(

[@smellofpaints9219]

@@NurseIvyRN di d u enjoy PT when u woked before ? Because i feel like i am not loving what i am doing :(

[@NurseIvyRN]

@@smellofpaints9219 I worked as a Physical Therapist Assistant, meaning that I could essentially do most of the things that PT's do except performing initial evaluations. I personally enjoyed it but felt like I wanted to learn more about medicine and felt somewhat limited within the PT field. After shadowing different health care professionals, I decided that nursing was the best route for me :) Remember that you can work in different fields within PT such as in-patient, out-patient, pediatrics, oncology, etc. If you don't like one setting, you may enjoy another! Perhaps shadow some PTs in different settings to see if you end up loving a specific type of setting ~

@@smellofpaints9219 by the way, feel free to private message me on my Instagram if you'd like! I'd be more than happy to talk to you about this privately.

A LPN is a nurse, your video sounded as if you downplayed the role of a CNA . LPN take NCLEX as well
