What To Expect After Getting Into Nursing School!

[@jazmine5426]

I got into nursing school a week ago! But for anyone seeing this a while after she posted this like me - a huge piece of advice is to get a job at a hospital before nursing school. So many hospitals have so many unique positions that you dont even need a degree for. I test newborns hearing and because of this I had almost all of my innunizations done, as well as my fiit test. This saved me SO much money because the hospital I worked for paid for it all.

[@jamiespitale3620]

This is sooooooo true. it will help you out more than you know. and when you graduate you will already have that real life experience with patient contact and the transition will be even easier.

[@gianaroblox2284]

Jazmine I want to be a midwife, or neonatal nurse.. and work with newborns, so that would be perfect for me!! Thank you so much.

[@gisseloxoxo]

Sorry what is immunizations and fiit test? Just curious

[@allysonbradley-rule4554]

Jazmine totally agree! I just got accepted to OHSU, but I work as a medical scribe! So I had to get all of that stuff done for free as well.

[@kuymarc5995]

Yes I totally agree with being ahead of vaccines and immunizations. Working at the hospital also gives you a huge advantage because you already have somewhat of hospital experience. One of the main reasons how I got accepted. Definitely recommend it. Good luck everybody!

[@iluvjoejonas14]

This was a perfectly timed video because I just got accepted into my dream nursing program today!! 💓

[@TheNurseNook]

Yay congrats!

[@Abmarp]

t m very happy for you !!!!!

[@lailatbarbie1884]

t m yayyyy congratsss

[@iluvjoejonas14]

thank you all so much!!

[@CharliEdwards]

Congratulations!

[@rebecapirela5980]

OMG girl i completely agree! I wish someone had told me how many coins I was going to spend on shots, supplies, books, scrubs, and background checks lol. I know this video is definitely going to help pre-Nursing students be prepared.Thanks for your videos girl!

[@CarlisaB]

Congratulations to all of you that have been accepted into nursing school :) The time really goes by so quickly! I am about to start my second semester it's wild! Good luck, you guys can do it :)

[@valerypacheco7832]

Getting into nursing school was so scary, but here i am now about to finish my second semester! It’s a beast of its own kind, but incredible in so many ways !! ❤️❤️

[@shaniabucao7963]

I got accepted into the nursing program. I'm so excited and also terrified. Wish me luck!❤️

[@freetathink45]

Shania Bucao Congratulations!! Same here! You got this! Also....That list of vaccinations is no joke🤣

[@shaniabucao7963]

Paloma, thank you very much! Good luck to both of us.☺️ What school are you going to?☺️

[@freetathink45]

Shania Bucao I am going to be heading into an ADN program in my state for Fall 2018. Omg what about yourself?! 😆are you in BSN program?

[@shaniabucao7963]

Paloma Me too and after I get my ADN degree, I’ll apply for completion to get a BSN degree in Nursing.

[@freetathink45]

Shania Bucao AHH!!! Nursing TWINNING!! That's cool! See the universe just be out here flexing! Because they say the easiest part is getting in and I was like..Nah..that's just what they say in the movies...But nope...😂 that's real.

[@OksanaSyzovaV]

How hard is math in a nursing school? It’s one of my weaknesses but I really don’t want it to stop me from becoming a nurse 👩‍⚕️

[@Brianna-ri6mv]

Oksana Marvin Same

[@caylihughey2075]

so i needed a pretty low level math but you may need a couple to satisfy your school’s credit hours. it’s not as hard as calculus, you’ll usually need something like pre-calc or intermediate algebra. if you want a bachelors, masters, etc you’ll need more credit hours, hence harder classes. hope that helps!

[@APPLESMOUA]

If you do a BSN program, you'll most likely take Statistics, Informatics (which has math but not too much) and you'll have to fulfill lots of dosage calculations which is lots of multiplying fractions and dosages, basically you'll have to know algebra pretty well.

[@OksanaSyzovaV]

@CAPRICORN almost there! One more year to go 😄 it’s crazy to find this comment of mine from years ago, thanks for asking!!🤗

[@s.w2934]

@@OksanaSyzovaV how did you make out with the math?

[@hannahgwyneth6152]

I love this video!! I just got called off the waitlist from UCF’s bsn program.... didn’t even think I’d even have the slightest chance of getting in but God is good!!

[@krissy7342]

Congrats!! I also got in off a wait list. Thank God! How's the journey so far?

[@trinatrine]

I failed the math part of the HESI twice, got a tutor and my score went from 30% to a whopping 77% on the math part which helped me get into Hondros. I am so happy. I start tomorrow, October 8th. Blessings to all of you and these videos. So encouraging

[@sofiaberglund8038]

Im going to nursing school in next semester but I live in Sweden so everything is free wooooo

[@ambersheppard4667]

what a such blessed!

[@bisquit2203]

Your lips and teeth are so pretty! Strange compliment but yeah

[@takearathomas5922]

I just got into the nursing program and boy oh boy are the costs already adding up. My school has a specific uniform as well. I also have to catch up on my shots and get a background check. Basically, getting into the program was the easy part lol

[@mariabucio6002]

I'm applying to nursing school next year! I hope I get in:)

[@karlisham993]

Maria Bucio Have you applied, yet ?

[@sarahgrace8276]

did you get in?💙

[@Miaonroblox]

Did you get in

[@nathanshorette2551]

The scrub struggle is REAL! The scrub top alone at my school costs $55!! Craaazzzyy

[@moniquebrown9]

Girl, I love your videos and I’m in a whole different major! lol & you need a beauty channel asap! Your hair and makeup is poppin

[@mexicanakinskywalker6762]

ill be applying to nursing school at the end of august this year ! im in microbiology right now hopping to get an A :/

[@darkoshmarko]

Nicholas Ramirez I am taking micro this summer! It’s my last prerequisite

[@mexicanakinskywalker6762]

Darko Shmarko good luck with it! It’s really fun to learn about microorganisms. it’s not super easy but I know I’ll get an A I have AP1 and AP2 after this. But I’m finishing all 3 sciences in 3 months ! Where are you taking your sciences?

[@darkoshmarko]

How are you able to finish them so quickly? That's ambitious! I took micro back in high school and really liked it but I'm sure at the college level it's going to be a whole different beast, lol. I am in the midwest and took most of my prerequisites when I got my undergrad degree in kinesiology. I worked for a few years and then decided I wanted to go back and get my BSN so I am taking my prereqs at a university that's close to home. Next spring I will be starting nursing school at Goldfarb in STL.

[@mexicanakinskywalker6762]

Darko Shmarko what did you do for work with your undergrad degree? Just curious. I’m taking them at an accredited accelerated science university in my area of California. i have a associate degree in criminal justice but decided to switch to nursing/ physics therapy, something like this. I haven’t really decided on one yet. How did you know you wanted to do nursing?

[@darkoshmarko]

Nicholas Ramirez I was also interested in doing physical therapy but after doing a couple hundred hours of shadowing I realized I hated it. Worked as a personal trainer for a couple years after graduating, then did some legal assisting and decided to make the move to nursing when my mom got sick and I saw how great the nurses were caring for her. I talked to them and they told me how much they loved their job and I decided to take the plunge. It is actually my dream to move to California to work when I graduate! You're so lucky you live there! :)

[@kristen.aubrey]

I just had my first day of nursing school yesterday and honestly I feel so overwhelmed. She only went over the syllabus but I feel like everyone else knew what she was talking about and I was behind bc I didn’t know all the lingo and what she was talking about yet.

[@AndreaRodriguez-yb8ik]

How did you do?

[@kristen.aubrey]

Andrea Rodriguez I’m still in. The information is bearable and the clinicals are great. I learn the most when I’m at the hospitals. But it’s so hard because the exams are impossible. The wording of the questions and the choices sets you up to fail and it’s hard to prepare for that.

[@monicamoseley5814]

I just recently got my acceptance email for the nursing program!! Your videos are always so helpful and encouraging. You make it seem not so scary 😂😘

[@AllaboutQua]

Monica Whitson did you get all A’s in your classes ? I feel like only people with all A’s get accepted 😭

[@monicamoseley5814]

Quasha Frasier I definitely kept my grades high. I had a B here and there but I’ve always focused on my grades a lot. That’s not to say, however, that not having all A’s won’t get you into the program because that’s not the case!

[@AllaboutQua]

Monica Whitson thank you so much ❤️

[@desmikawhite5069]

I just got accepted into my accelerated bsn Rn school!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳 I’m beyond ecstatic 😭

[@kawtharbakhach5848]

I am so happy to be part of this sea of comments and say that I got accepted into my big time DREAM nursing program. September feels so close yet so far. Thanks for the awesome content, it's really helpful! edit: I HAD TO PAY $35 FOR MY UGLY LAB JACKET THEY GAVE ME NO CHOICE. UGH I feel you

[@naturetaylor]

I needed this video!! I'm going into nursing school fall 2018, super nervous about it. But I know I can do it. You really inspire me with all your helpful videos!

[@82drangel]

I love you channel. I just got acceptance into both of the schools I applied for this week. So now I have to choose. I am also doing a Associates first then RN-BSN dual program. Thanks for all your videos they are truly inspiring.

[@sandyeunhaecho]

What eyeshadow are you wearing? It's so pretty on you! I have one more month of waiting to do until I find out if I'm accepted into the nursing program. I've been binge watching your videos to help pass the time. 😁

[@raulysse1]

Hoping to get into the nursing program soon! This video gave me a much better idea about what to expect at first.

[@arianawheeler8485]

Just applied for nursing school yesterday. Praying hard I get accepted. Thank you so much for the video

[@GaeaThomson]

Hey Alexis, I started watching your videos a few years back when I was first applying to nursing school. I have been rejected twice from the same program and it sucked. Somehow I would keep seeing your posts here and there and your videos because I still wanted to become a nurse and you're always great to watch. Last week I finally got my acceptance letter for the same program, so here I am again watching this video because I'm so excited :') Thank you!

[@haleyhaggerty9102]

HOW DID YOU HANDLE THE WAITING GAME?! I'm dying 😩 I find out next month if I get into a program and I'm a nervous wreck

[@alannabors]

Omg that’s a lot of shit, honestly I feel like getting setup for school, registration and all that is the worst part 🤦🏾‍♂️😂😂

[@CaseyCorrupted]

I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now, and I just wanted to say that I appreciate you making all these informative videos about Nursing and Nursing School! Coming across your channel back when you first started helped me to work past the nervousness I was feeling and take the plunge to go for my ASN instead of LPN like I'd originally planned on. Thank you!

[@klassys7497]

Perfect timing. I have been an LPN for 6 yrs. Just started my BSN 1 week ago! excited!!

[@michelljones831]

Are there any nursing books not included in your book list for school that you recommend?

[@emvalmomvlogs6085]

I second that!

[@marandaryan]

We didn't do a fit test, but we weren't allowed to care for airborne patients during clinical. Totally wish I would have seen a video like this before I started because I had no idea what to expect, and it was way more than I expected lmao. I ended up spending thousands out of pocket just for immunizations, titers, background check(s), and supplies :( Worth it in the end though!

[@sammiels12]

Lipstick and Scrubs same here. Our school won't give us those patients and we never did fit testing for school

[@irenekoutsoulidakis9414]

I’ve been watching your videos for years & always thought they were so inspirational. Today I found out that I got accepted into an accelerated program for the fall and I am so excited! Your videos really helped me when I was losing faith in the application process. Thank you for all of your helpful content. Hopefully I’ll still have time to watch your videos once I start the program!

How’s it going?

[@sittingturtleduck]

[@raver2be]

I need to work a full time job to support myself. The nursing program I plan to attend is rigid, and does not have a part time option. Is it unrealistic to work full time while being enrolled as a full time nursing student?

[@yerrmom9894]

I am 21 and i'm reallyyy interested in nursing but also discouraged because of a DUI I got when i was 18 and a DV chargee (property damage) :((

[@mekacarnegie9638]

Apply for the CNA course first. They will have you an exemption application. That's where you will have to go to the court and get the required documents. Three reference letters, and a statement letter ect. Please lookup up CNA exemption application on your states website. You do have to do a CNA program first and have your fingerprints done. They will then reject your application. That's when you will file for an exemption application. The same application is done for the RN BSN programs if you have a criminal record. So it's better to do the CNA first so you know what to expect. It's better than going through a full RN program and not knowing

[@yourfuturern6055]

I take a healthcare class at my high school and the terminology test we take I study so hard and end up failing do you have any studying suggestions?

[@mikasa2272]

Use flashcards! I had some troubles with remembering the terminology but after using quizlet and flashcards it really helped. I ended up getting a 97% on that test and a 94% for the class.

[@destinyfernandez5769]

I just got my acceptance for Fall 2020 and I would watch all your videos and see people commenting they got in and I just KNEW I would be one of those people one day! You were an inspiration and thank you for your videos! I feel more prepared & EXCITED for my future!

[@livm4319]

Does every single nursing school do drug tests???😭😭 I have a dab (weed) pen that helps treat my anxiety but I don’t have a medical marijuana card. It’s not like THC gets out of your system in a few days especially if you smoke it regularly like me (3-4 x a week).... I guess I’ll have to not use it for a bit if my school requires a drug test but I was curious the amount of schools who actually do it or not. It just sucks because normal medication / anti depressants don’t seem to work for me especially during panic attacks, but I need a card to prove it?:/

[@MimiAyon1121]

Books are so expensive and no one told me I could get an older edition until I already had them. Also depends on the school but for mine the instructors make their own exams so the book is only supplemental
