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.

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!

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.

I'll be entering into the RIBN program, four year program, where I'll be attending my community college and university at the same time. Basically, I will get my ASN in my third year. After that, take the NCLEX exam during the third summer. Then I will get my BSN in my final year. I'm very glad I got accepted into this program because it's about 40k to get my BSN. The program is very rigorous though. After that, I'm planning to get my NP and hopefully work at the hospice center. Wish me luck!

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 💕❤️
@NurseLiz5 жыл бұрын
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?

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!

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.
