My LAST 1st Day of School EVER...how I'm feeling about being a senior nursing student

[@Darklink7884]

I will never forget watching that one vlog where you were crying on camera because you kept getting rejection letters from prospective nursing schools, and now your hitting up your last first day of nursing school??? What is time???

I KNOW. Time is wild.

I just discovered your channel and I wish you luck in your last semester! I JUST passed my NCLEX on the 17th on my first attempt! This last semester can give some serious senioritis but keep going and push through! It is so worth it!

[@KiaraMadisen]

Ahhh yes!!! You’re giving me so much hope!! Congrats on becoming a nurse for real! Hope that’s me soon ;)

[@mickaliajackson8796]

I found your channel a few years back when you were in your senior year of your undergrad and now you're in your last lap of nursing school and I just want to wish you the best of luck this semester. I am now about to enter my junior year of my undergrad!

[@brenna348]

Since the start of 20222. I just into my teaching program, passed the first 1st of two exams to be a teacher, and got my dream teaching jobs in my dream district!!!! Life has been so so good!!

You’re SO close. Love having a break to look forward to at the end

The thing I am most proud of accomplishing is applying to nursing school getting on the alternate list and then getting accepted a couple weeks later!😊 also love these kind of videos and you are such a good role model I hope I can do as good as you in school!!!!

OMG Congrats! Almost done. I´m starting my junior year of law school and it has gone too fast, I can´t believe it. Something I´m proud of 2022 is that I´ve read 30 books in this year. I started reading for fun last year and now I´m in love plus this habit has helped me in my law classes that I have to read a lot.

I remember finding your channel through your nursing acceptance journey video and being scared because I was starting my own. And now you’re a few months from graduating and I have been accepted into nursing school. I love watching your videos when I study because it motivates me and reminds me not everything is easy but if I have the will I can do it. So thank you and congratulations on your last first day of nursing school!!!! Can’t wait to see you graduate:)

How do you become an RN in a year? Was it double classes? Is it an associate degree or bachelors?

[@KiaraMadisen]

So because I have a prior bachelors, I did all my prerequisites already so that’s what makes up the first two years of nursing school and then I would have two years left but because I go to school in the summer it’s just super condensed:)

Totally understandable!! It’s hard to picture what your new life is going to be like. Take it one week at a time and try to work up the courage to do something simple like compliment someone, sit by someone new in the dining haul or in class, and try to join a club or activity so you have set times to hang out with people!

I bought low and sold high at the right time. I go for short squeeze and short term. I don't have the patience to buy a stock long term and sit on it and hopefully it goes up. 😭
