I’m so happy that you recommended Community College as a great option for people. So many people look down on community college, but as someone who is graduating from a cc and transferring it was the beat choice I made. I’m saving money and spending the same years as all my friends that spend thousands at at a university. Congratulations Penny on becoming a RN! 😊

[@najat4339]

This is what I am planning to do. I am finishing my junior year in hs and want to be a nurse. After graduating I’m planning on going to cc for prerequisites than transferring to my state university’s program. My fear is that I won’t get accepted into it even with good grades because I heard it’s harder for transfers. Even the cc nursing program is hard to get into because there are soo many applicants.

[@dannapasos4724]

Hello , how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹

[@mailiaxiong6380]

I feel like every nurse should become a CNA before stepping into the nursing field. I’m a CNA and most nurses don’t understand how hard working CNA’s actually are. CNA’s are for sure under appreciated. The only two charge nurses who have ever helped me with patient care were two nurses who were CNA’s before. I want to go to school for nursing but whew, it is soooo long

[@mmmmphood]

Mailia Xiong agreed. All nurses should be CNAs before getting into nursing school! I worked as a CNA for almost a decade before becoming a nurse and it really helped me be a better nurse. I definitely think you should go for your RN! It’s long and god it’s hard but it’s so worth it :)

[@Gigi_xyz23]

I agree 100%. I believe the state of Washington is making CNA experience a requirement for nursing school. I was a CNA all through nursing school, and I loved it. If you work in a hospital as a CNA you may find that nurses are soooo much more helpful since they don't have such a crazy patient load.

[@biancaaaaaxoxo]

I will be a nurse without being a CNA first. But just because I wasn't a CNA first doesn't mean I will treat a CNA below me. We are all there for one thing. And that is patient care. Regardless of out title. CNA, LVN, RN..

[@xx_donnie_in_transit_xx9688]

I even suggest, if possible, volunteering as a high school student before that. I've learned so much about bedside care and how to actually treat patients by simply volunteering at my local hospital for emergency and physical therapy

[@sallylee3136]

I'm a CNA too, and that's true. The nurses that help are usually nurses that used to be CNAs. They know what we go through. I've been a CNA for 2 years and on the road to become a nurse in 2 years as well. I'm in an RN program at a community college.

There is also another way to do a nursing program! It’s called direct admission. I did this and this is perfect for anyone who has taken medical based classes during high school, lots of hospital volunteer hours, and good grades. A nursing college will accept you right into their program straight out of high school!! That means no pre-req stress about getting straight As- just making sure you pass the classes according to your colleges rules. It makes the process SOOOO much easier and it looks great on future RN applications! Try it out 💕 lots of people don’t know about this

I want to be done with school but also have a secure job. I feel like I’ve wasted two years of money and studying because you can’t even do anything with an associates degree.

I was on the chancellor’s/dean’s list before nursing school (no longer on it but that’s okay). Honestly the studying/getting thrown into the unfamiliar was fine, but the HARDEST part of nursing is balancing everything else life throws at you. (Depression, financial problems, death, pregnancy, etc.) The key to nursing school is PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION! As my homie, Winston Churchill, once said, “continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.” 💟

I really appreciate your videos where you talk about nursing!! It helped me so much to hear you, someone that comes off as very relatable & accessible, talk candidly about your experiences. I always felt so distanced and disconnected from any medical field type professions because I knew they all required long grueling years of study & prerequisites, which weren't something I felt I was capable of completing, nor did I think I had any interest in the medical field. I recently decided that I want to become a certified medical assistant - not exactly the same thing as I'm sure you know, but it feels so right to set this goal for myself. I've always wanted to help people in whatever career I ended up in. I'm so grateful to have seen your videos because it helped me to picture myself in a more medical setting. And knowing how smart you are and how much hard work you put into studying and preparing for your career has helped to remind me that I'm smart and I can work hard to develop a career for myself as well.

[@meaghangedeon2485]

When I took the Nclex after finishing school I only waited 3 weeks. I think scheduling your test date the farther you are out of nursing school can increase your risk of failing. At my school, the last semester centered around Nclex testing. So basically every single exam that semester was EVERYTHING we've learned throughout the program. This made it so when I took the Nclex only a few weeks after graduating everything was still fresh. Just advise from another RN.

[@malinisarovar]

I was loving the idea of studying as a nurse until I was told my grades are severely low to even consider it. At least they were honest. Congrats on surviving for the past 5 years Penny!

A. Fox still apply!!!!!! i have a friend in nursing school who was told their scores were not competitive enough to get in by her advisor and she applied anyway and got in and is doing great!! don’t give up if nursing is an actual dream of yours 🌟

[@delilahgiselle6]

Ahhh pls make more videos about your nursing career! I’m currently in school to become a nurse & you have no idea how much I appreciated this video! Thank you!

Yooo.... I'm in school for animal biology rn. Second year and I failed all but one exam last semester...I feel like I'm wasting my time, but here I am still doing this. My motto is: choose something that you love, because some days the love is going to be the only thing you have.

literally just came back from taking my first peds exam, third year, thought about quitting multiple times and its HARD but when you KNOW this is what you want you make it through 💪

I interviewed for a maintenance position at a university. Once they told me part of the job would be to clean the cadaver lab I was outta there.

Nursing is such a great profession! So many avenues, so diverse. I always highly recommend nursing to anyone considering it.

woah, I'm so proud of this curly, Latina queen! how often do peoples videos get sponsered by BILL GATES!?!

Thanks for sharing this video. A lot of people in the medical community do not talking about failing. Like failing the mcat or nclex and its hard even applying and trying to get in. You basically have to get perfect grades and if you dont the application process is even harder. So thank you for sharing once again.

Loved this video! It made me relive all the struggles of pre nursing and nursing school. Girl, I failed the NCLEX twice and finally passed on my third time. I cried so much and questioned my decision of becoming a nurse during that time. But I did it and have been a RN for 2 years now! Congrats on your new job! I’m in a similar position but I help medically fragile children while they are at school. I love it so far.
