HOW TO PREPARE FOR NURSING SCHOOL

HOW TO PREPARE FOR NURSING SCHOOL. Are you heading into nursing school but are unsure what to expect or how to prepare? In this video I’ll share all the things I wish I had known before starting nursing school. I’ll cover how to prepare for nursing school, what supplies you actually need for nursing school, which nursing school books you need and if you should get them in digital form or hard copy. I also go into some study strategies and how to find some life balance while in school.

I'm a 53 yr old CNA and I've finally decided to go nursing school. I've always enjoyed being a CNA, but in the past few years, it's been really hard to make a living. I feel like it's a little too late for me to become a nurse, but there is such a shortage and I also want to upgrade my living situation.

[@lindakumley7253]

It's never too late and having all that experience as a CNA is going to be so beneficial for you! Go for it girl! You got this!!!

This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear! I've often heard horror stories about nursing school, so naturally I got into panic mode when I was accepted into my program. Though you don't personally know me, hearing from a current NP and former nursing student that I will make it through nursing school, is just what I needed.

I've just been accepted to nursing school in Oklahoma City, to start January 2021! I'm 33 years old, a wife and mom and am getting really nervous about nursing school!! Our daughter is 10 years old and has a rare genetic disorder that causes epilepsy. She's g-tube dependent, wheelchair-bound, non-verbal but communicates with her eye gaze device. She's a princess girl and 100,000% the reason I want to be a nurse. I can be paid to be her in-home nurse for 40-hours a week, which is stellar! But also, we have had so very many doctor appointments in clinics and unfortunately many inpatient stays - when I see those nurses taking care of my girl I think "I want to do that for others, too!". Thank you so much for your nursing school content! I learn best with videos and note taking so I really hope my school is not book-driven learning! haha!

[@kaylasimpson4458]

Thank you so much for making this video. You're right, I have been through so much and I have survived. I can do this. As a 40 year old single mother who has been caregiving for my own mom and spending lots of time in the hospital over the last 10 years, I have had the burning desire to be a nurse for years. I have also talked myself in and out of it, dropping out of prerequisites because I thought it was going to be too much and ruin my relationship with my now twelve-year-old son. It's videos like this that help to remind me that I have what it takes an I can accept the challenge humbly. I have survived so many other things. I can do this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you

You CAN do this! We are always our own worst enemy. I am a 27 year old male who has been dilly-dallying for years now, even though I know I could be a top-notch nurse. Raised by nurses.

My school is a bit different since I've been in the nursing program since freshman year and all my courses are specifically for nursing students and are like the prereqs. I think for choosing schools, I just looked Ay which one had nursing that I can take at a BSN level right out of Highschool, the location, and how great the schools financial package would be for me.

I'll be entering into the RIBN program, four year program, where I'll be attending my community college and university at the same time. Basically, I will get my ASN in my third year. After that, take the NCLEX exam during the third summer. Then I will get my BSN in my final year. I'm very glad I got accepted into this program because it's about 40k to get my BSN. The program is very rigorous though. After that, I'm planning to get my NP and hopefully work at the hospice center. Wish me luck!

[@NurseLiz]

[@eleeshaj.6586]

I wish I could hit the like button multiple times for this video! Thank you so much for the helpful tips! ❤️I just finished 3 semesters of pre-req's as of yesterday, starting the nursing program in January. I am so anxious and excited at the same time!

[@NurseLiz]

Congratulations on your acceptance to your nursing program! Those pre-reqs are sometimes the hardest part (at least in my opinion) Now the fun begins! Best of luck next semester!

[@molllyyyyx3]

Really needed this, thank you! I'm starting an ABSN program in May and unfortunately, it has been a little defeating when I excitedly tell my news to others only for them to tell me how tough it is going to be. Of course I know it will be hard, but this has been my DREAM since I started college! Happy to have found your channel and I am sure your videos will be a great resource this next year!

[@NurseLiz]

I know that feeling and it is NO fun. You can do it!

[@serenasaystoday]

i've been in the medical field for about 7 years already, mostly on the clerical side, and now i work as a porter. when i graduated high school i wanted to become a nurse but my mental health took a turn and looking back i honestly would not have survived nursing school and all the challenges. now that i'm 27 i truly feel ready to take the plunge! thanks for making this video, it's made me quite excited to get started.

[@NurseLiz]

I'm glad you were able to make the best decision for your mental health! You're gonna do awesome!

[@shaniceb2059]

Nurse Liz you are absolutely Amazing!! Motivational speaker, counselor ..lol just so refreshing! Thanks

[@NurseLiz]

Aww thanks for the encouragement!

[@alyssaportes6927]

Thank you for this video! I start the accelerated BSN program on FRIDAY and I am extremely anxious and nervous, but this has helped a ton! Good luck to any other fellow nursing students! We got this!

[@benjaminnicholasking7222]

I am glad that you mentioned learning styles for example I learn by seeing and writing.

[@morgainnetaar]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm 52 years old and fixing to enter the nursing program in the fall. I realize as an older student nurse it'll be harder for me, but I have learned from the years behind that many that are younger hasn't yet. I appreciate you!

[@NurseLiz]

Your experience will be invaluable! You got this!

[@abbycimala6168]

I found your videos almost two years ago pretty soon after I switched my major to nursing. I remember watching this one in particular and feeling like I was never going to get in anywhere. I will be starting nursing school in January, and I finally get to come back to this video.

[@NurseLiz]

That is AWESOME! Congrats!!!

[@kayla8764]

Absolutely loved this video. You are so honest and relatable! Hopefully will be starting the program in the Fall and you gave me reassurance. Thank you!

[@NurseLiz]

I’m so glad it was helpful! You got this! Congrats on your acceptance 🙂

[@NurseLiz]

congratulations on getting into nursing school!

[@carrieflanagan3]

Thank you so much for this because I have been freaking out about "not being prepared." When you said "relax," as dramatic as it sounds, I nearly cried because it's so hard to know what to do/how to be productive/wise! 💛💛

[@NurseLiz]

I’m so glad it was helpful! You will be ok!

[@sofiyaloseva4764]

Thank you so much for your advice and your videos!!! I’m going into Nursing soon and I honestly am so excited. Although I’m excited, of course I’m nervous but it’s just sooo amazing that you explain things so in depth about the realities of Nursing and making a video on almost everything we need to know + VERY useful advice. THANK YOU SISSSS

[@NurseLiz]

Glad it was helpful!! COngrats on your nursing school acceptance!

[@lakesiaromero8449]

Wish I had seen this video back when I first got admitted to nursing school but there was no KZbin back then!😂i did psych nursing for 15 years and decided to stay home to raise my two babies(one is in college now and the other one in high school!) I applaud you for being such an inspiration.

[@NurseLiz]

How did we ever exist without youtube? 😂. I applaud you for being a psych nurse! It takes such a special person to do that

[@mskinner2935]

I just discovered you today, and you are wonderful!! I've already watched 3 of your videos and look forward to watching more. I am 38 years old, married with two kids and began taking accelerated full time courses in Jan 2020 to get into the nursing program for Sept 2021. I worked full time at a children's hospital as an admin and wanted something fulfilling and decided to make this change as I knew I'd regret it if I didn't. I feel comforted to have these videos to refer to, thank you :)

[@daltonburns4006]

I have to say that this video (i havent finished yet) is like the best thing ever. I plan on going to college for nursing. And i havent even stepped foot into a classroom yet and i alrrady feel likebi can do this. Thank you for this video! And like someone else said you are like the nurse mom. I could so listen to you teach and talk for hours on end. And still be leaning in wanting to learn more.

[@jerseynurse6878]

Love this. I’m going back to school for my RN. I’m an LPN now and graduated in 09.

[@NurseLiz]

Awesome! You got this!

[@b00kem22]

Whelp..I am a 42y/o guy about retire from the Air Force after 22 years. Spent the entire time as a Firefighter. I started down the road to nursing school 20 years ago, but things kept getting in the way. Now, since I am retiring nothing else will get in the way. I start clinicals on 19 Aug 19 and I am so excited. Thanks for uploading all your videos, I like seeing the videos from a "more experienced" individual that the others that are from fresh outta high school and straight into college.

[@NurseLiz]

what a unique and awesome background you will have going into nursing! Best of luck on your journey!

[@Jrahe0609]

Daniel morris congrats on the retirement! My hubby will retire from the AF in a couple years, so I’m starting nursing school to help that transition. I also started this road right out of high school, but PCSing always got in the way. Now’s the time!! Good luck to you!

[@b00kem22]

Jrahe0609 thanks! Good luck to you as well! What does your hubs do?

I am so glad I found you! I start in August and I am freaking out!! Everything in this video about what other people tell you is dead on. I feel so much better hearing that I don't have to start reading things now. Thank you so much!

[@NurseLiz]

So glad it was helpful! You will do great!

[@TheRin02Kagamine]

Thanks for this! I’m a high school senior in a pre-nursing program where I get college credit for a medical terminology period and get to do clinicals twice a week! I’m SO excited to start my BSN program this August! :)

[@NurseLiz]

that is so cool!

[@darcydainereyes4829]

This video really helps. I'm currently preparing for my entrance exam for nursing school. Thank you for sharing some advice and encourage us that we can do it! God Bless 💖💖

[@NurseLiz]

You got this!!

[@Serendipityx003]

I am 36 year old and wanted to be a nurse since I was 18, but after hearing everyone say they struggled I didn’t think I could swing it. I’m finally deciding that even if I fail, at least I tried. Thank you for this information. It was very helpful!

[@libbybeliveau7506]

I'll be 36 in a few weeks and in the same boat! I'm still confused on where to start since there are so many options, but I'm starting to feel like I can do this. And so can you!

[@adirayasharahla984]

Another 36 year old here! You can do it….we can do it!!!

[@mp3713]

Your videos have so much substance! They have helped tremendously and I'm not even going into the program right now, still finishing the general ed. You rock! God Bless!

So glad they’ve been helpful!

[@ninamrkusic-guido4851]

Nurse Liz. Thank you for this inspirational video. I am taking all my prerequisite right now and once I am done, I will be registering into a nursing school. You have inspired me to keep going and take it one day at a time.

[@NurseLiz]

best of luck with everything!

[@ewyana3194]

I'm starting BSN in Fall 2019 as an international student. I am not so much familiar with rules and regulations here in the US and have heard a few stories from other people about how they had to face racism in clinical for not having English as their first language. Also, I have a habit of studying at Night from a very young age. I am terrified and excited at the same time. I am grateful for the heads up you have given, now I am gonna try to change my habits before I start Nursing School. Thank you!

[@NurseLiz]

Ugh that is frustrating to hear. I hope that is not your experience.

[@stephaniew.5366]

Wow!! I feel so much better now. I really needed this. Thank you 🙏🏼😊 I start in January. As an older student with a family, I’ve been second guessing myself, but your encouragement has motivated me to take one day at a time and not stress about what hasn’t happened yet. I’m going to take your advice and enjoy my family and the holiday season for now 😁✌🏼

[@NurseLiz]

I'm so glad it was helpful! You got this! Enjoy your family time!

[@juliapierre00]

For the next 3 years, I hope your channel becomes my best friend!!!! Thank goodness I found your channel you have been extremely informative and down to earth about your experience and the profession. I feel very encouraged after watching a few of your videos! Thanks Liz !!!

[@NurseLiz]

Welcome!! So glad they have been helpful!

[@derengo19]

This is exactly the video I need. I start my nursing program in January! At the moment i've got a to do list full of things to do including recertifying my CPR, ordering my nursing kit and books, etc. A week and a half ago I went to the uniform store to try on the scrubs we'll be wearing for clinical/sim lab and it just felt really good. I know I hear so much about how hard nursing school is/how it was the hardest 2+ years of nurses' lives, but a voice inside my head says, "you'll be fine. Everything's going to be okay. You can do it, you can make it, believe in yourself." I'm looking forward to it.

[@NurseLiz]

Listen to that voice in your head! You will be just fine!

[@tylerdurden4299]

How’s it going?

It’s so refreshing hearing that some people (like yourself) worked while going through an accelerated nursing program. I just started my program (it is also accelerated) and I am working as well.

I start the BSN program at UT Tyler in January! Thank you for this video! I feel relieved after watching your video! You have wonderful tips and advice! I’m looking forward to your video about clinicals! :) Also, could you possibly make a video about what to expect after graduating from a BSN program and begin working as a nurse?

[@NurseLiz]

Congrats on your nursing school acceptance! So exciting! I can make those videos for sureb

A million thank you's for the tips! Definitely going to subscribe to your channel because I'm considering becoming an NP after undergrad.

Hi I'm 19 years old I just found your channel with this video. I was accepted in Spring of 2019. Unfortunately I wasn't able to move on to the next level. Because I failed pharmacology, but I plan to reapply again for the fall hopefully I get in.

[@NurseLiz]

Keep at it! I have a video on how I made it through pharm if that would be helpful when the time comes. Pharmacology was my weakest class as well, so I feel that struggle. Hang in there!
