[@mr6144]

[@evolvingshan7970]

Wow!!! Major blessing!!!

[@neha11423]

I have probably listened around 100 videos on tips for nursing students.. Honestly this is THE BEST one... I am not even kidding !

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

THANK YOU! I'm so glad that you found you like the vid. Let me know what else I can post that may be helpful to you. thanks again future nurse

[@ChristLikeLadies]

These are the best tips I've ever heard about preparing for nursing school. SERIOUSLY!

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

Thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that.

[@januaryholley4482]

real talk. thank you

[@leeanngee1]

This is the most realistic “prepare for nursing school” video. Every single tip is on point. So much props to you, thank you! 🙌🏼

[@marchellelittle]

I am so encouraged. I watch this video over and over. I will be starting the nursing program fall of 2019 and I am so excited to do it and become a nurse. This video will definitely be a go to.

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

I love to hear that! Good luck with your program let me know if you have any video requests. Nurse B

[@marchellelittle]

In your opinion, do you think that it helps you to get more great job offers when graduating nursing school if you have a long and consistent history while working in a nursing home setting or home health care for those who are not certified nurses?

[@AshleyWilliams-lr8ns]

I'm doing the nursing program around the same time!! Good luck!

[@Abmarp]

I don't have a cheerleader... Imma motivate myself cause I don't have friends... and my family has a lot going on already so. 🙏🙏 Thanks for the video. t'was very helpful

[@HaleyAnnStudentNurse]

I know what you mean! Sometimes you have to be your own cheerleader! The most important thing is that you don't give up! You've got this!

[@Abmarp]

Haley Ann, Student Nurse aw thank you so much

[@mirfirsts.8923]

I'm cheering for you!!!!

I am at the beginning of my nursing journey. I am 47, a grandma of 10 beautiful grandbabies. I graduated from college 20 some yrs ago as a medical assistant. That certification ran out. Now that my kids are grown up, i get to do this for me! Much love and prayers for your debt to be paid for for school❤❤❤❤

Hey there, I'm in my early 30s and finally starting my BSN this fall. Thank you for making this video, as a parent of 2 kids under 5 yrs old and a wife, this has been soooooo helpful and raw. Thank you. Thank you.

[@nakebachappell2395]

I lucked up and stumbled across your videos. NurseB you are by far one inspiring person. I was placed on the waitlist last year now here we are. I have watched and watched certain videos multiple times, ive went from CMT, CNA, CNA2 to now ADN school. I’ve had a mix of emotions happy afraid nervous you name it and your videos make this journey (one that I know isn’t going to be easy ) one I’m ready for! You’re heaven sent!! ❤️

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

Thanks a lot! What’s a CNA2?

[@nakebachappell2395]

yourfavnurseb certified Nursing Assistant 2 so It allows you to prime lines, insert/ remove foley catchers, tube feed, Trach care. Remove IV’ start them in the ER.... Think that hits the nail on the head. It gave me more skills and a pay increase

[@Nursemtv]

Hey Nurse B! I watched this video when I started my LVN program and loved it, so helpful. Here I am now going into an RN program this fall and I instantly thought of this video. Thanks for all your advice

[@TheHethmares]

Thanks for this vid! It's so trippy & ironic that more than half of what you said in this vid is what I was thinking/have planned to prep for nursing school. Your vids are really great and helpful. They always validate my thoughts in relation to nursing, which is so encouraging. It's nice to know there's someone out there who has our best interests in mind. Thank you!

[@tymakaeli1480]

I have did some of these same things prepping for school. Glad I'm on the right track 🙏🏽💪🏽👏🏽 my class starts in April 2023!

[@ShutterSpeedGaming]

I love your videos (wish you'd make more of them) your insight is so valuable and you make so many valid points. I work 24 hours a week Friday-Sunday and go to school the rest of the week. when I started the position like you said I was very upfront about my availability and that paid off for me. I make sure not to work outside those days that I said I'll be able to cause I don't want them to start to think they can put me on those days. I'm about to take A&P 1 with lab this summer along with English and psychology. This video is very motivating to me. At this very moment watching this I'm cleaning up my whole house because the summer semester starts on the 5th of June (going for my ADN) and I want to have a clean home and mind. I love your attitude please continue to be successful at what you're doing you really inspire me.

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

Thx, Im glad you like the vids. I'm getting as many out as I can esp before my baby is due. You're going to have a BUSY summer (but you got it). I have some tips for studying for A&P, I'll post a vid soon, so stay tuned.

[@Anoxiaperson]

Hey, I love how you are not afraid to mention God. I was a stay at home mom for twenty years. Raising my husband and I twelve children. Seven girls 👧and five boys 👦! I would love to get into nursing school now! My kids are all in school now. Listening to several nursing videos of many people, their stories are kind of frightening.( Chemistry, A&P 1, A&P2, microbiology, etc;) What are your Recommendations? Plus I understand I would have to do my pre riqs first.

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

God is the reason for all my blessings, including being able to help people through this channel. I'll do a video on prereqs. But, of course its hard, but so is raising 12 kids! So you got this. Really with prereqs its all about being smart about how you plan your courses, sometimes people take on way too much too fast. I'll try to crank out a video in the next few days. -nurse B

[@darlenepaul2934]

[@Debt-tective]

Hey, I had a question. I'm in the military and work nights, Sunday night through Thursday night. Everyone keeps saying it's too much to go to nursing school with my job and family. I took some classes while working before and maintained my 4.0 but I hear nursing school is very difficult. In your opinion, is it possible to do? I'm waiting for the next semester to start but I'd really like to hear what you think before I do

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

Emt B Hello, first off thanks for your military service. Watch my working while in nursing school videos if you havent already. With your schedule it's going to be a challenge bc youll have to work then probably go straight to school then from school try to rest and then go back to work. So unless you can study while at work, you may find it hard to have any real focused and well rested study time. Is there any way that you can work longer shifts on the weekend so that you can work less during the school week? On the other hand if youve been to school and managed a 4.0 with your work schedule then ur doing something right. I would see about adjusting your work schedule and also see what hours you would be in school and clinicals (to see how you can work around them). You may want to look at part time or online options when it comes to school. Its possible esp if you have the drive to accomplish it. People will always tell you not to do something, and its usually based on their short comings not yours. Let me know what you decide to do.

[@blksassygrl]

I need some advice from you, can you tell me what kind of book I can read to help me increase my vocabulary please. I would like to start the program next year. Thanks again you really help to motivate with my career. I'm waiting for your answer. Thanks again

[@kaelstialbeing6203]

Thanks for the video. I was accepted to nursing school and I am nervous of course. If you don’t mind me asking, how are you paying for school? I have another degree so I don’t get much money. Stay strong and I will keep you in my prayers. My program is full -time accelerated, I cannot work full time and they won’t give me part time. Ps: I am giving up a desk job with gym benefits for nursing school, I am so anxious, nervous etc... God bless you, you motivate me at times when I question myself.

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

Sorry, I thought that I replied to your question. While in nursing school I got loans but still had to pay part of tuition in cash. Now, as a nurse I pay out of pocket for pre reqs for my RN. But, I work fulltime, and my job offers tuition reimbursement, which I put towards the classes. Try looking at unemployment center in your area and see if they have programs to help you pay for school, does the school offer scholarships? You may just have to get loans, which suck but, afterwards you can look into loan forgiveness. Good luck and God Bess - yourfavnurseb

Hey Brandi 👋🏾 I'm getting ready to take my entry exam soon , I'm not at all good with math I mean math in general I feel so stupid trying to remember all the rule to math period. Can you give me some pointers on this? I have been reading math for dummies but I still have a hard time remembering what I learned or read..

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

Hey there, I'll admit that I'm not a math wiz but what helped me was using a GED book. I first did the practice exam in the back (timed myself). Then I looked at what areas I needed to focus on. I would go to that section in the book and do practice questions, then after about a week or two of studying at least an hour a day I took the math test in the back over again (still timed myself) and looked to see if I improved and went from there. First get an idea of where you need the most help, use the book, use youtube as a resource (there are a lot of smart people that break down math easily). You can also try websites like mathhelp where you can put in a question and they break down how to answer them. The thing I learned about math is that it just takes time and practice you have to stay studying to get familiar and comfortable with the material. I hope this helps, and good luck on your exam. Let me know how it goes and if you have any video request.

[@lelizzy2746]

kendra palmer Try KhanAcademy and study.com for your math and down load math apps . You have to remember the definitions and not just the steps only. Get a tutor or go to your tutoring center. Get Study books and work sheets, math is reputation, you have to also practice. Don't let the fear of math defeat you or discourage you. Learn your basic math, and basic algebra. That foundation helps and remember to get a good tutor. Your not in this alone, don't feel stupid, get pass the embarrassment and shame once that's over you ain't gonna care cause you will have this fight to learn math. How bad do you want it? So you have to conquer it and defeat it even if it's going back to the basic math and elementary math .You can do it, doubt will paralyze you.

[@yeranishunor4854]

When people say that you don't need to prepare for nursing school, I LAUGH!!! YES, YOU DO! People say that you are paying the teachers to train you to become a nurse. Yeah, true but if you are struggling, they will kick you out. So, yes. You need to be OVERPREPARED for nursing school. The prerequisites do not fully prepare you for nursing school.

Hi i want to take a bs nursing for this incoming school year but I'm still doubting my decision because i think itstoohard for me 😣 What should i need to do?

[@yourfavnurseb9699]

Make up your mind and make a decision. Only you can give yourself the confidence to go for what you want. But I highly suggest you do research on several programs price, time and pre reqs. See if you can do prereqs at the community college to make it cheaper and just learn as much about a program before you apply. It’s more than likely going to be hard but if you want it you will put forth the effort and you will be stronger because of it
