Tell them Alexis! Nursing school is not impossible. I graduated nursing last year in August and I had a baby halfway through my program and I also had two other small children. I also graduated during a pandemic. You have to be dedicated and organized. But if I could do it, you can too.

[@TheNurseNook]

Girl yes! Congrats to you!

[@TheNikka9091]

That’s amazing, congratulations!

[@sherenehilton3134]

How did you manage all that, did you have a support system

[@denishawolford5407]

@@sherenehilton3134 yes I had a good support system. But I was also very organized. I would plan my day by the hour, I made a study plan where I would study certain topics for a specific day, I would study at least 4 hours every day, I would meal prep dinner on the weekends, and my newborn was a perfect baby. He was very relaxed and would sleep most of the night, so I could get some rest.

You go girl ! I aspire to be you !

[@missb1982]

We used to group study. That helped me alot. Got some really close friends in school to vent to, cry it out, whatever.. if i can do it anybody can.. im a single mother of 5 and made it through.. against all odds.. graduated cum laude and was inducted into phi theta kappa. ive been a registered nurse 3 years now and am in nurse management.. God makes the impossible, possible...

I started taking pre-reqs last fall and already finished A and P 1, Psy, and taking A and P 2 and Che with Lab now. There is a-lot of informations. Sometimes if i get overwhelmed i just step away and give myself a brake. But when i am open for learning i sit for hours. Lucky i am not super social about going out etc beside working out, so i can stay in chair 5,6,7,8h. Only thing sometimes my hand hurts from holding the pen(lol).

I went to nursing school in the 80's and much has changed since then. Academics was the primary skill admissions sought. High SAT scores and mostly A's in all the prereqs.
