I Was Rejected From Nursing School TWICE

[@eli3102]

I started nursing school ten years ago. I didn’t do well for many reasons, I was a single mom with little support and no money and I was going through a very difficult break up. I let my personal life interfere with my goals. I also attended a program that required a very high mark to progress in the program (82%) At the time, I convinced myself that nursing wasn’t for me but in hindsight and as an older more experienced adult I realized my situation wasn’t conducive to being successful at any project. After a few years, I decided to give nursing another try. I completed an LPN program first because I was scared of not doing well in an RN program again. I loved it and loved working as an LPN! Last year I applied to a bridge program and with God’s help, I’ll be graduating in May with my RN! Don’t ever give up on your dreams! Thank you for your videos 😊

Awesome story, and congratulations!

🥹🥹🥹🥹 I am literally in a similar situation! Like literally the same. I’m a teacher and trying to go back to nursing. I’m in the middle of applications but trusting that God has a plan and He didn’t bring me back to nursing for no reason there’s a purpose and I’m going to be a nurse. Sometimes I get super doubtful but this video and your comment has given me so much hope! Thank you for sharing ❤

I just got rejected from my school of choice for nursing and I’m crushed. I have one more letter I’m waiting on and I’m holding out hope.

Just goto a private school that’s what I did

[@Sammy-jn6su]

@@EG-Oit’s super expensive

[@EG-O]

@@Sammy-jn6su yeah can be, but fasfa covers it anyways, your grants will cover most of it and then you leave you with maybe 40k to pay off, plus if you get a job that pays tuition then you're also set! So even though its expensive its way better than public schools. Why? because the class sizes are super small, I have 11 people in my BSN program. Secondly you get more time to study and focus on nursing school instead of worrying about other classes that are not necessary that public schools like to throw in, clubs and electives etc. Third, your instructor is less busy and have a lot more time to guide you and help you through nursing school, compared to an instructor at a public school who have 1000's of students to worry about. Trust me its the best decision I ever made. The cost is nothing when you think of all the pro's you get going to a private school

i totally didnt know it at the time, but I found out that the community college i applied/go to had the most competitive Nursing program out of all the colleges in my university. Community college is no joke. Glad to hear you had the drive to not give up!

[@IslemTav]

Getting accepted at a community college nursing program is like survival of the fittest! It’s extremely competitive because they have limited seats. In mine, only 50 students can get in per semester. Last semester only 22 graduated. 100% NCLEX passing rate.

[@tashakayden2434]

They only had 40 seats in my program 😂😅

[@sofiarat9711]

This is what I’m most scared of, mines accepts 50 as well but I heard they have over 500 applicants and idek if I’ll get in knowing how competitive it is.

You're doing it all wrong. No one cares where you went to school. In Dayton Ohio, there were 2 nursing schools. The BSN school Wright State was constantly in trouble because students were not passing state boards. I went to the community College, Sinclair who was never in trouble, had a almost perfect record of State board pass rate the 1st time and had a better reputation for producing nurses who could clinically function independently and accurately right way. So while a AAS doesn't look as hot as a BSN on paper,that doesn't mean it's better. I ended up getting my BSN a year later after graduating from my AAS program in nursing but not in Dayton, rather I drove down to Cincinnati a hour a way 2-3 days a week and completed a RN to BSN program at the University of Cincinnati. There is nothing wrong with a community College, get your nursing degree there and you can even work on extra BSN transfer credits ar your community College. Oh, and one of my RN jobs was at Duke University Medical Center in the Surgical Trauma ICU and honestly no one really cares about that Duke name these days. Good luck

Never give up! I’m a 15 yr cancer survivor who has seen too much 😆 & understand how important caring & compassionate individuals are! Even my oncology social worker who gave me fuel cards that were donations, was a great asset to healthcare. Medical receptionists, we love you! You take our stressed out calls as we attempt to get our results from nurses. I went to JCCC…Johnson County Community College (KC) & CCM…County College of Morris (NJ) for some nursing pre-reqs & they were excellent community colleges. I agree w/ just getting your foot in the door! In HS, I was a traypasser in food service at a hospital. So 10 yrs later, when getting a nurse asst job at Morristown Memorial in Ortho Surgical wing, I was immediately comfortable w/ walking into the hospital room to cheer up the patient & take vitals. I couldn’t continue college due to IBS & un-dx anemia, all pre-colon cancer. I was then unable to go back to any associates degree due to CIPN (chemo induced PN). So we need YOU! Please never give up! ❤

[@mashpot3806]

Honestly, getting into nursing school is PURE luck. You could have a 4.0 and hundreds of volunteer hours and still not make it until you’re 3rd time. That’s exactly what my school said. Pure luck. But still try hard obviously but also pray or do whatever you can, manifest wtv.

Hi! Thank you very much for posting this. I'm still a college freshman and I'm taking prerequisites and I'm kind of scared of being in a situation where I get rejected and don't have anywhere to go. There is a BSN program really close to me, only a train ride away. But it's really competitive......someone told me that they were waitlisted with a 4.0 GPA :0. But your video motivated me, so for that I thank you

[@Noktackey1]

I understand how you feel, I got rejected from an ultrasound program of a community college with a 4.0 GPA (both only science and with gen-ed included) and a bachelor's and full time working experience that supposed to be extra points in my application. Most of hem are almost 100% or even more than 100% in many classes that offered extra credits. I don't know what they are looking for. They may not into adult workers who want to switch to healthcare. I haven't applied to anything since then, 2 years wasted working on these pre-reqs.

[@Sophie3647s]

That’s crazy! At my college I had no previous medical experience or anything and they accepted me haha. I did all those courses you had on your old transcript on my first year of my ABSN program. But I didn’t went to a university or community college because the acceptance rate for those schools are very low. So I went to private school that accepts you even if you have no previous medical experience or any certification like CNA, EMT etc. only down side is that it will cost way more. But since nurses makes 6 figures these days you can pay them off easily

[@Daniel.rmendez]

That’s why lol. Yours is a for profit school. So it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any extra experience in medical field. If you didn’t pre reqs and have the money then you get in.:

[@EG-O]

@@Daniel.rmendez yeah the funny thing too is my school has the highest pass rate for the nclex in the state I’m in. Haha 😂 so I am proud to goto my school. Sometimes it’s better, because the professors surely care about you and they will never let you fail. Also another advantage is that the class size is so small. there’s like 11 of us in my class. So you won’t feel left out asking questions etc. Another advantage is that the school only focus on nursing. So you don’t have to worry about doing other additional crap like history classes or joining clubs etc or do electives. Because they ain’t got time for that crap etc like what the public schools does

[@Lllkkkll]

Nursing course is hard to get into. In my time, since the school I went into had a 100% passing rate for many years, first qualification is that you have to be in the upper 40% of the graduating class, otherwise you’re not qualified. Then there’s the nursing qualifying exam aside from the university exam, then a series of interviews after that. Those who passed all those, will have their names posted in the college’s bulletin board and only then you can enroll. 😂 when I enrolled in law school, there was also a written exam, and if you passed the written exam, a panel interview will be conducted and only successful applicants can enroll for law school. 😅 thankfully, I passed all of those and passed the board as well as the bar examination both on first take. 😅 So when people say to me that I’m not qualified, I’m like meeehh! 🤪 Like who you kidding?! Your exams were easy peasy… they try to bring you down with lots of excuses, and some of which even sounds ridiculous!😂 I actually confronted my head when I was working at a company, and when I gave my reason, she can’t even speak clearly as to why she gave me that rating.😂

The homeless in many states probably from Florida + other nursing schools/highway robbery. Please no one attend ICHS international college of health sciences in Boynton Beach (acen accredited). 90% student body are from California and unaware of battles & scheming that awaits. Spread The Word. 100s don't pass exit exam each semester and held there much longer than anticipated. "Contracts" change every semester. With that $$ you can move to any state's community college or support homeless!! Where goes the money ICHS?? Barely a campus. Little clinical site availability. Students pay proctor most exam. On campus testing is another nightmare. Exam questions completely random and each is at least 30-45% grade. Staff are 'fired' and rehired rotating positions constantly. Staff death from overdoses and fired for sexual favor 'rumors'. Even 'rumor' of students suicides. (I guess death happens in hospitals too, it's just preparation) Unable to reach staff by phone, email, or in-person and so many LIES. Family&friend-run business racket.
