Hi Lorena! i am 14 and determined to become a nurse and your nurse blogs always excites me and your videos really teach me what it's like for a nurse day in life. I recently have been accepted into a Health science P-Tech Academy which basically is a academy based school that prepairs you into the real world into the medical field and joining this is a huge step for me in becoming a future nurse!

Ah the days I thought I could be a nurse but whew thank god I let that dream go, Shout out to my nurses, doctors surgeons anybody in the healthcare field. Especially the good ones and what I mean by that is the one's who are not going in the field just for the money. Y'all are really the troopers because yall go through so much and not only that some of you guys have families yeah I could never do it.

[@Reforbidden]

What made you not go into Healthcare?

[@XXOVXXO__]

@@Reforbidden I didn’t pursue a career in healthcare because I feared not fully grasping the complex knowledge required, and as an empathetic person, I was concerned about my ability to handle situations involving death.

[@tinamina22]

Hi Lorena, I too started off as an LVN/LPN and bridged up to RN. It's such a wonderful thing to accomplish, love seeing your blogs it reminds me of when I was in long term care as an LVN. Now I'm at a hospital at bedside as a float RN training in all specialties, LVN's make the best RN's ;).

[@theGIGbetween]

New sub! I’m an old head.. been an LPN since 2009.. spent my career in the Psych ER.. so that kind of nursing is very very different. I have left the profession temporarily.. I just lost my passion when I went into management.. you realize the business aspect of healthcare and it is ugly. I am planning to change routes and head into nutrition.

Hello Lorena!! I am 14 and I am wanting to become an ER nurse and maybe even an EN travel nurse and my county offers this really amazing school and it’s for 11th and 12th grade and it is basically “pre nursing school” and right out of it you can be a phlebotomist or a CNA and I’m just really passionate and can’t wait to become a nurse.

Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. The Bible is Gods word to us. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the Bible are the gospels of Jesus and His teachings on how to follow Him. Jesus is coming soon. Repent of your sins and follow Jesus. God bless you! 💕

[@jagnagarajan9766]

Amen 🙏

[@madisonshoemaker]

@ 💖💖 Praise God that through faith because of Gods grace we are saved 🫶 Ephesians 2:8-9 in the Bible says "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.” 1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,“ We are saved by Faith in Jesus because of Gods grace, we do not earn salvation by things we do. Good works are a result of faith, but good works do not earn our way to heaven. 🩷 Jesus’s sacrifice is sufficient for us, praise the Lord 🙌💕

[@alliew2419]

Thats a great goal! I just got into nursing school. If I could rewind and start at your age I would make sure to really focus in the math and science classes. Also, as soon as you are old enough, start taking your prerequisite courses at a community college (anatomy and physiology, biology, chemistry, etc.). You might even be able to take them while you are in high school (sometimes called dual enrollment). You can even research colleges in your area and see what prerequisites they require. Until then, enjoy your youth! There will be plenty of time to study and work when you are older. :)

The biggest tip I can give you is to start your nursing career in high school just like I did!! Do some research of LPN dual enrollment courses that your nearby colleges offer and start there! that was you’ll get a glimpse of what it is like and it’s easier/faster to get your RN once you finish highscool💕💕
