HOW TO PREPARE FOR NURSING SCHOOL

[@vickyferreira3259]

I'm a 53 yr old CNA and I've finally decided to go nursing school. I've always enjoyed being a CNA, but in the past few years, it's been really hard to make a living. I feel like it's a little too late for me to become a nurse, but there is such a shortage and I also want to upgrade my living situation.

[@lindakumley7253]

It's never too late and having all that experience as a CNA is going to be so beneficial for you! Go for it girl! You got this!!!

[@showayi]

This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear! I've often heard horror stories about nursing school, so naturally I got into panic mode when I was accepted into my program. Though you don't personally know me, hearing from a current NP and former nursing student that I will make it through nursing school, is just what I needed.

[@RayleighBug]

I've just been accepted to nursing school in Oklahoma City, to start January 2021! I'm 33 years old, a wife and mom and am getting really nervous about nursing school!! Our daughter is 10 years old and has a rare genetic disorder that causes epilepsy. She's g-tube dependent, wheelchair-bound, non-verbal but communicates with her eye gaze device. She's a princess girl and 100,000% the reason I want to be a nurse. I can be paid to be her in-home nurse for 40-hours a week, which is stellar! But also, we have had so very many doctor appointments in clinics and unfortunately many inpatient stays - when I see those nurses taking care of my girl I think "I want to do that for others, too!". Thank you so much for your nursing school content! I learn best with videos and note taking so I really hope my school is not book-driven learning! haha!

[@kaylasimpson4458]

I would love to get in contact with you. I am also starting school in January 2021 and a mom of 2. My daughter also has a genetic disorder

Thank you so much for making this video. You're right, I have been through so much and I have survived. I can do this. As a 40 year old single mother who has been caregiving for my own mom and spending lots of time in the hospital over the last 10 years, I have had the burning desire to be a nurse for years. I have also talked myself in and out of it, dropping out of prerequisites because I thought it was going to be too much and ruin my relationship with my now twelve-year-old son. It's videos like this that help to remind me that I have what it takes an I can accept the challenge humbly. I have survived so many other things. I can do this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you

[@McMilesE]

You CAN do this! We are always our own worst enemy. I am a 27 year old male who has been dilly-dallying for years now, even though I know I could be a top-notch nurse. Raised by nurses.

Have they accepted you ??

[@Lyra_01.]

@@aNa-hl6kt Hi, no I didn't get accepted for the fall but I did for the Spring January 2020 🥰

[@daltonburns4006]

I have to say that this video (i havent finished yet) is like the best thing ever. I plan on going to college for nursing. And i havent even stepped foot into a classroom yet and i alrrady feel likebi can do this. Thank you for this video! And like someone else said you are like the nurse mom. I could so listen to you teach and talk for hours on end. And still be leaning in wanting to learn more.

[@alikacerto2280]

I just received my acceptance letter for the ABSN program in the mail today! I am so excited!!! and I am so thankful I stumbled upon your channel!! Thank you so much for your videos. They are informative and super encouraging. I really appreciate that you take the time!

[@NurseLiz]

congratulations on your acceptance!!

[@Alyse1996]

It's me watching this literally after dropping classes and deciding nursing has been something I have been wanting to do for a while. Im currently applying now. I loved this video. Super relaxing.

[@kylasorayamana5881]

several months from now and i'll be graduating from senior high school and onto college!! 💛💛 thank you for the info, nurse liz! 💜

[@NurseLiz]

thats awesome! Hope you enjoy your last few months!

[@DerilVStubenrod]

I am a field EMT and made the decision to start Nursing school. I love the field of emergency work and also want to stay in the educational side of it too. I am up here in Maine.

[@darcydainereyes4829]

This video really helps. I'm currently preparing for my entrance exam for nursing school. Thank you for sharing some advice and encourage us that we can do it! God Bless 💖💖

[@NurseLiz]

You got this!!

[@krstbates]

I'm 36 years old and finally applied to get my nursing degree. I'm unfortunately losing my job as of Sept. 29th. I'm so nervous, but this video has helped. I have two teenage boys and want to make them proud.

[@NurseLiz]

Ugh I’m sorry about your job. What an awesome example you are setting for your boys!

[@christinacange6976]

I start my ABSN program in January!

[@NurseLiz]

Yay!!! Congrats on your acceptance! Are you so ready to dive into it?

[@christinacange6976]

Nurse Liz Thanks Liz! I'm excited but also nervous. Lol. But I'm definitely going to use your tips and try to calm my nerves as much as possible. I know that it won't be easy, but I got this! Well, I hope. Haha.

[@NurseLiz]

Christina Cange you totally do!

[@ayanhassan7489]

Christina Cange same, i start this month. How long is your absn program?

[@mauwaenduki2050]

I really wanna become a nurse and I’m a senior in high school and I feel like I’m not smart enough to become a nurse but I thank you for these videos because they’re giving me strength and not be afraid to be a nurse

[@jewelboquiren90]

i am starting nursing school this August 2019! i am excited but nervous at the same time! but thank you for all your tips

[@NurseLiz]

congratulations on getting into nursing school!

[@tamara5716]

I found this video RIGHT ON TIME! I start the traditional RN track in September. I'm sooo excited but my anxiety tries to attack me and turn my excitement into negative nervousness. The people that I know who are now nurses say "it sucks"...."it's the worse thing ever"... "I'm dead and I hate my life because of nursing school". Like you said, there's sooooooooo much negativity surrounding this fulfilling profession. So, I truly can't thank you enough for this genuinely positive & realistically happy perspective towards a notoriously rigorous program. I don't expect it to be "easy" but, I don't want to hate it either. So thank you again for this bit of sunshine. Peace & blessings 💕❤️

[@NurseLiz]

You got this! Definitely not easy, but not the end of the world for sure! I think some people just go into it with the mentality that it won't be time consuming, which is unreasonable, and then they label it as "the worst thing ever" when it takes up a good chunk of time. ya know?

[@reems4325]

I just discovered your channel! I just started my nursing prerequisites and am so excited / nervous. I love your positive attitude and advice! :)

[@NurseLiz]

Welcome to the craziness!! Thanks for the encouragement and for watching :)

[@its_emily_2559]

I am between nursing and a type of business major and I know nothing about nursing and the classes and I am not good at math and science so I was terrified to choose nursing but you made me feel a lot better about it. Just need to study and apply myself a little bit more. Thank you!

[@addisonnewton7297]

“Your cup is only going to be filled with caffeine for the next few years” love that haha❤️

[@joydavis7129]

Omg!!! THIS VIDEO JUST GAVE ME SO MUCH LIFE💜💜💜 I’ve been doing just that studying and I don’t start school until March!!! Enough said!!! No more studying for me!!! Ok I’m going in with an opened mind ready to learn!!!!

[@jenh8330]

I love this video! Thank you for sharing your experiences and tips. I was a CNA for 15 years before i decided to go back to school and it is terrifying at times. Im doing (almost done with) my pre reqs and my goal is to start a nursing program next fall. Thank you again and i look forward to watching your videos!

[@NurseLiz]

That experience is going to serve you so well!! Best of luck on your final prereqs!

[@KStarr-nl2ok]

Love your video! Started a LPN program last week, I’ll worry about an RN bridge program later, lol. I’ve been a Med Asst for 10 years, began prerequisites for pre-nursing 2x! Mother of 2, working full time, & I couldn’t pull it off with the regard to credits & financial aid. I didn’t want to overwhelm myself with school work just to get more aid & assistance, being that I was already working 12hr overnight shifts… So 3rd time is a charm! Wish me luck with school and also during this pandemic! 😷 Stay safe, stay healthy & keep being the amazing human that you are Liz!

[@soumayasammie2613]

I hate reading. I learn so well by watching videos and seeing and hearing someone explain something.

[@NurseLiz]

Same!

[@stephaniehernandez4344]

What a breath of fresh air. Thank you for your honesty and helping to break thru some tough stigmas that have been attached to nursing school via social media and so on. Going into this new season with a new perspective thanks to you.

[@cindylao1112]

I am so happy I found your channel! I love your positivity and honesty. I recently found out I got accepted into the nursing program at the local community college, starting Spring 2020! Super excited yet nervous! Already subscribed; can't wait to binge watch the rest of your videos! Heading to IG after this ♥️

[@NurseLiz]

Congratulations! That's huge!

[@NicNameIsNicki]

It’s so refreshing hearing that some people (like yourself) worked while going through an accelerated nursing program. I just started my program (it is also accelerated) and I am working as well.

[@Meded-bi5qd]

I REALLY needed this, and am so glad I just found your video. As a first-generation college kid who is solely paying for college on scholarships, I am terrified that I cannot make it through nursing school. Though it is my calling, and I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life other than helping people. Thank you for the motivation. I begin college after this summer.

[@NurseLiz]

You’ll be just fine!

[@2ndchancehypnotherapy]

Yes, Khan academy is awsome. That and Crash course helped me when I took A+P

[@shaniceb2059]

Nurse Liz you are absolutely Amazing!! Motivational speaker, counselor ..lol just so refreshing! Thanks

[@NurseLiz]

Aww thanks for the encouragement!

[@mskinner2935]

I just discovered you today, and you are wonderful!! I've already watched 3 of your videos and look forward to watching more. I am 38 years old, married with two kids and began taking accelerated full time courses in Jan 2020 to get into the nursing program for Sept 2021. I worked full time at a children's hospital as an admin and wanted something fulfilling and decided to make this change as I knew I'd regret it if I didn't. I feel comforted to have these videos to refer to, thank you :)

[@meikoblock]

Okay you must be a superhuman to work and do the accelerated program

[@NurseLiz]

Very Very caffeinated, poor, and had no free time. haha

[@StephxInfection]

Thank you, this has made me feel more confident in starting school. I have a similar experience with an EMT program. Those that previously failed, that were in my class, warned that it's crazy hard. I ended up passing it well while taking two college courses and working 40+ a week. I managed my time well and focused so it worked. It was one of the best programs in south Texas, too. Listen to what others say but take it with a grain of salt and experience it for yourself.

[@zafer_qatma4812]

Im starting in jan 2020 Thank you for shedding some light into this ♥️

[@NurseLiz]

congrats on your acceptance!

[@samueldennison6574]

That’s when I start!!! Good luck!!

[@zafer_qatma4812]

Well actually its not a college its more like an institution but if i get high grades i get a bachelors degree so thanks ♥️♥️♥️

[@Belladorphia]

Zafer _qatma Hi start at a institution as well. I’m nervous and excited. Let’s stay in touch if we can, let’s motivate each other🙏🏽?

[@Belladorphia]

Zafer _qatma I start January 20,2020!

[@katyparody81]

I’ve applied to nursing school (regular bsn) for fall 2019 and am waiting to hear back. Finally working on my last prereq this summer (microbiology ugh). I’m a junior with 3 more years ahead if I’m lucky! So glad I found this video!

[@NurseLiz]

Fingers crossed for you!

[@kodochafan13]

Ahh perfect timing Liz! Thank you for the helpful tips, I’m starting in January and I’m both excited and nervous. I have very high expectations for myself so I’m going to give it my 110%

[@NurseLiz]

That’s the perfect attitude! Congrats on your acceptance btw! Best of luck 🙂

[@kelliesigdestad7394]

Stick to that because you may say that you’ll give everything that you have but once you get used to the work you’ll give a little release. And near the end, wanting to be done is real and you have to push through. Sincerely a current nursing student.

[@PixyEmilie]

Yes I totally consider going to nursing school. After being in the hospital myself over the last few years and meeting some amazing nurses there and because my mom is interested in medicine I got even more inspired to become something within the medical field 😊

[@NurseLiz]

awesome! Hope you are feeling better!

[@nicolemcdonald9231]

I really needed this video!! I just received my acceptance letter today 6/11/19. I start this August!! I have children as well and it feels good to know someone else can juggle having kids husband, Etc. and still excell in nursing school. I pray everyone achieves there goals as becoming a nurse. Yay us to coming this far! 🙌 WE GOT THIS

[@NurseLiz]

Congratulations on your acceptance!! So exciting!

[@annettemunoz9656]
