I will graduate with my BSN in 6 months and I am also turning 30 this year in June. I have a 5 year old, and I’ve been interested in critical care for a while. I’m so glad I went back to school when I did because I’ve been taking my program and my studies VERY serious, I’m just at a more mature stage in life. I feel so blessed to have made it this far, I’m almost done🥹🤞🏾. Just subscribed to you❤

[@theluckienurse]

That's amazing! It's never too late to change your career and go after what you're passionate about. Good luck ❤️

[@SheISBeautiful1970]

Congratulations 🎉 I’m so excited for you and want to hear more about your new job. I’m taking prerequisites and I’m of a mature age, nursing will also be my second degree once i get accepted.

[@theluckienurse]

Thank you! And it is super common for people to switch their careers to nursing! Good luck!

[@topshelfcollectors1338]

Congratulations!!!! I start my Critical Care residency in about 2 months. Excited and nervous, but hoping to gain some insight, so I’ll be following your journey. Wish you much success!!!

[@theluckienurse]

@@topshelfcollectors1338 thank you and good luck!!!

30 is so young. please remind yourself that you are exactly where you need to be & where god placed you. Take in that "young energy" and start turning up and enjoying your youth & checks!!

Hello, I recently came across your channel. I am considering going back to school for the ABSN program. I have so many questions, and I 43. Your videos are helpful. This is the first I heard of a nurse residency..it sound awesome!

[@theluckienurse]

I am glad my videos are helpful! Thank you so much for watching, and good luck ♥️

[@Ejeanette78]

I know those uniforms and badge anywhere! I work for the same hospital system, but I'm a PRN RN Care Navigator. Interestingly enough, I've been a nurse for 3 years now and I'll be transitioning to the ICU in a fellowship program with a different hospital system in a few weeks. I plan to keep my PRN job. I worked in health administration previously as well. I'll be following your journey in the ICU as I begin my own! 🙂

[@theluckienurse]

Ahhh that is so cool haha! I love it here so far 😊 Good luck in the ICU (btw will thus be your first bedside job?)

[@Ejeanette78]

@@theluckienurse Thanks! Same to you! I started out at the bedside on a trauma surgery unit 🙂

[@theluckienurse]

@@Ejeanette78 oh wow! Starting in trauma sounds intense

[@akosuaboakye4089]

I love love you both. I’m so proud of you and I have 1 more year to go. I look forward to these videos and thank you for sharing.

[@theluckienurse]

Thank you so much!! And good luck in your final year!

[@donovane5448]

Love that you kept the part with your husband in the final cut of the video,, one never really sees this! :) hehe

[@theluckienurse]

Haha ♥️

[@ofibia1]

Congratulations new grad here. Very informative video. I can’t wait to pass my NCLEX. Any tips for NCLEX

[@theluckienurse]

Congratulations on graduating! My biggest tip would be to get a program… Either archer or UWorld… and find a consistent study schedule where you’re studying either every day or at least five times a week!

Yasssss ❤

[@chiamakamaryann9915]

Congratulations🎉.. please are new grad residency nurse being paid?

[@theluckienurse]

@@chiamakamaryann9915 hi! Yes! They are full time positions with benefits. I make a little under 80k a year as a new grad nurse resident.

[@queenlala916]

I’m so happy for you, also I just finished my 2nd week of my ADN program 🥹

[@theluckienurse]

That is awesome! Good luck with the rest of your program!

[@therebelsunflower]

Do you still get paid during the nurse residency program? How confined are you to a certain time meaning could you possibly work another job?

[@theluckienurse]

Yes! I still get paid in the residency program. The average salary of a new grad nurse in my area (the DMV) is between $70k - $85k, and my starting salary is in that range. It is definitely possible to work another job when you are in a nurse residency program. I stayed on PRN at my last job… and I am actually working and my other job right now, as I am typing this lol I’m off at the hospital today and picked up a shift at my PRN job. I personally wouldn’t advise working a fulltime or a part time job on the side though because the residency program does have “homework” and your schedule is kind of all over the place at first.

[@mimiy2938]

Can you use the residency as an experience if you want to apply for NP schools like crna school

[@theluckienurse]

@@mimiy2938 absolutely! My residency program is 1 year and I will put that on my resume as 1 year of nursing experience. I believe most CRNA programs require a minimum of 2 years experience in critical care and the residency counts toward that 😊

[@therebelsunflower]

@@theluckienurse I submitted a lengthy reply but I’m not sure if it was deleted by KZbin. But I’m in the DMV as well. I wanted to pick your brain.

[@theluckienurse]

@@therebelsunflower shoot me an email at [e-mail] I TRY to check it at least once a week, but if I know you emailed me I will check!

[@theluckienurse]

Hey! I have been very bad with my emails the last couple of months, but have you emailed me?

[@JuzMePorshaa]

Congratulations but get to the point of 'This" video

[@theluckienurse]

@@JuzMePorshaa why did you put “this” in parenthesis?

[@koyawright4520]

Cause the first 2 minutes is you lingering about the video that you made or plan to make. Just get to the point, we don’t have time to waste on your thoughts about a video you made or plan to make. Good info though
