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.

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..

[@tommysberlinkitchen]

I am wondering that it is allowed to wear so much jewellery and acryllic nails. Such things are forbidden for nurses in Germany

[@KeishaNobre-bn6hv]

Same here as a student nurse it's like a crime

[@AnahiP-p5o]

For some hospitals in the US too. Although it is cute to have your nails done and where jewelry your always capable of loosing an earring or two when being on your feet non stop. Nails carry a lot of germs so I believe all hospitals and facilities should prevent us from wearing nails for the safety and well being of our patients.

[@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 ;).

Thank you for this video ❤ John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” If you place your faith in Jesus, He will forgive you of your sins and you will be saved from hell and you will be given eternal life. 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 🙏

[@MadisonlovesJesus777]

@ 💖💖 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 🙌💕

[@LorenaNicol]

Here in the state of Florida there are 8, 12 or 16 hour shifts (at least to the facilities I have been too). So a 16 hour shift is known as a double because it’s two 8 hour shifts back to back

I'm sorry if you said that anywhere but like.. how many days after such shift do you have free? Does the second 8 hours replace a whole workday? Or is this just theoretical and the next day(s) are normal?

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. :)
