I never thought it mattered whether you have a degree or diploma, it’s your hard work in the real world that matters ALSO you look stunning

[@iamnursezee]

Thank you my friend, it really doesn't matter.

[@PicoScreen]

I love your story, reminds me of my journey in nursing. You actually find there's very few nurses who come into the profession fresh from Matric who actually wanted to be nurses. Most of us come into it having gone through some disappointments. Once we realize the value of this profession, then we fight tooth and nail to pull through to the end because the course will challenge you more than you imagined. I love how articulately tackle every topic, you're a great speaker.

[@iamnursezee]

We fight tooth and nail indeed, Nursing school is really no child's play.😫

[@drd.o.c5410]

Your story is quite similar to my story but then through out the struggle God took me Where I thought I was weak. I dont know Where I could have been today if I did not undermine college qualification. I would also like to add and say to all young stars, follow your heart(subconcious) and you will never go wrong.

[@iamnursezee]

We learn to teach the younger generation indeed.😃

[@unammjobi1391]

Wow this is thought provoking.. I'm currently battling with this Degree vs Diploma issue and University vs College. I feel like I'd be "settling for less" if I would choose to do a diploma instead of a degree. Thank you for this inspiring message. I'll definitely do more research on a Diploma in Nursing. 😉🔥💯

[@iamnursezee]

All the best Unam, you'll be amazed.

Thank you soo much for sharing your experience!!!! It's so eye opening!

[@nkeletalifhanigaledzana1892]

Aah ya neh Really needed this video... My story is a definite match to yours and I thank God that I came across this now. God bless you further 🤍🙏

I'm glad you could relate to this.

[@satielsie]

You are so inspiring 💖 and you are looking very gorgeous too🙆🏾‍♀️🤩

[@iamnursezee]

Thank you Elsie 😊

[@Project_0119]

Nursing is really a skill and you fine tune it over the years, and honestly it is the same although there are differences in terms of studying further. It's all in a days work and fortunately i did my nursing with people who were passionate and i have never experienced problems bcs of our qualifications.

[@lungiehnxumalo5689]

Umuhle Mtase ❤❤ this hit home for me because when I matriculated in 2009 with an H I didn't want to go back to school to rewrite but so I had no choice than to go college and do the Ns I first did Business management until I got my diploma. I still went back and did engineering because become at work they're the most recognised Artisans with Ns in the field and recently got permanent position BUT all in all I want nursing which is y am going to rewrite to follow my dreams one day... so going to the college actually is good in any field just that we prefer universities which are also good.... I wish there was a voice note yazi 🤣🤣

[@iamnursezee]

I am so glad you confirming that it's all industries mntase, my worry is that there are still kids are are life the younger version of me who just wants University 😀

[@lungiehnxumalo5689]

@@iamnursezee I also get worried but I think it's a status and the fact that we grow up knowing only people from university are educated so we tend undermine ourselves even before..

[@nombusomtungwa1041]

Thank you, I'm at Bara I was also doubting myself....thank you so much....I'm the one looking down at myself it stops right now!

It needs to stop, you don’t know how many opportunities are ahead

[@nthabelengmolaba1192]

girl u are inspiring my mentality was exactly like urz after passing my matric i guess we have to let God to take control ....i got my national diploma this year in biomedical technology and as i said m doing my intertionship preparing for boared exam what is happening in nursing i think its also whats happening in my course exactly i dont regret going to VUT studying this course after what i saw at the work place ... some pple had BSC degrees from top universities of SA they wanted to become Med lab technogist but they were not allowed to write boared exam even though they have had BSC in biological sciences ,medical microbiology etc ...some went back to the technickons to study biomed bcs their bsc ddnt work for them ....others were hired as lad med technicians not technologist. my lab mangers are coming where m coming from they started with N diploma just like me adas are still in that qualification but holding high positions ....m doing practicals with somes students who want to become scientist ,who did BSCs and they teach us the same thing n worse we get training from people who wnt to technickons.....mostly what i like is even if i want to become scientist i can i just have to upgrade ha nyane for research .

[@iamnursezee]

I have a feeling even in other industries it's like that, but nobody tells us it's not must for everyone to have a degree to make it in any field. Also we've grown to know N Dip to be undermined, but now we are changing the game!

[@ingridmohammed21]

Awesome insight, sister. I agree with you regarding the practical knowledge we have as Diploma students. We each have our unique paths and that’s what makes Nursing great. God bless

Thank you Ingrid, we all need to shine our lights without deeming others.

[@nkosinathieric6806]

To which college can I apply to for nursing

[@ivanatoro7614]

Can I politely start by saying you look good man☺️. Any how's thank you for sharing, I never actually looked down on myself as I am studying diploma, the only hiccups it is hai we have to do so many hours at the training clinics and hospitals which gets tiring plus prep for exams also straight out of practicals. I liked the motivation at the end though 💪

[@iamnursezee]

Yhooooo don't mention the lengthy practical placement, staff even start leaving you alone because you've beeeeen in the ward.

I really feel undermined and I don't know how to feel about it

This is what I was talking about in one video where I said nurses shouldn't be asked why they didn't study medicine 😒

[@mondz_mondi3322]

Hi Zee, thank you so much for the great content. I have two Questions *is it true that when you studying in college with no Bursary they pay you for your practical working hours? *now let's say you finish you general nursing Qualification in college, epaulettes with no bars right, where can you continue studying for your specialties like pych, midwife and how long will it take, won't they expect you to study from 1st year again?

[@iamnursezee]

They don't pay you for your hours, those hours are part of a requirement by SANC for you to be declared a qualified Nurse. You'll be able to continue studying, each qualification takes 1 year.

[@ayakhandindwa7437]

Hey sis❤️ I love your story how can I apply at mmbatho college....can I apply online because I'm in Cape town

[@iamnursezee]

Follow Western Cape department of health of Facebook, they issue the Bursary

[@lesegomoabelo6985]

Hi🙂 what did the bursary cover and how much was the stipend..im trying to weigh options between bursaries i have to sign to..

[@iamnursezee]

Please watch my recent video, I answered your question.

[@Nkazimulo_Hlubi]

I am currently doing my 4th year in UJ, using the Gauteng Department of Health Nursing Bursary, there is no stipend. It covers everything although. If you apply in a college, the fees there are lower so you are able to get a stipend from what is left over.

[@iamnursezee]

@@Nkazimulo_Hlubi They don't give you what's left my darling. There's a specific amount they give you, not what's left.

[@Nkazimulo_Hlubi]

@@iamnursezee I mean with regard to whether all other academic expenses have been covered, from that amount.

[@Nkazimulo_Hlubi]

Not necessarily implying all.

[@ZinhleMfusi]

Hi thank you for this video it’s so informative and inspiring ……I was wondering how much it is per month In the nursing college that you went to ?

[@iamnursezee]

It is a public school, meaning it's government bursaries students only.

[@ceelitty2]

Hi zee,is it only Rn's who have to do comserve after they graduate? I wanna do the diploma next year although I would have loved to do the degree 4 years seem so long and I have a daughter kids are not cheap😟

[@iamnursezee]

If you qualify for a degree go for it Cee, I know they not cheap but you going will be difficult for 4 year for her but liberating for the rest of her life once you qualify.

[@ceelitty2]

@@iamnursezee thanks for your encouraging words🙂 that's exactly what my aunt said & she also said the years go by so fast before I know it we will be celebrating my graduation lol. So after you finish the 4 years do you get paid for community service?

[@iamnursezee]

@@ceelitty2 Yes you get paid, I think I was taking home something like R11 000 during the comserve/internship year. That was in 2016. Years fly by dear friend, within a blink of an eye you'll be surprised to be having 6 years of experience working as a nurse after graduating😅😅 you'll want to pause time I tell you.

[@Toffeeskin]

Do you roughly have an idea how much schools fees is for degree program in nursing at uj now?

[@iamnursezee]

At this moment I don't know what their tuition rate is

[@Toffeeskin]

Hey zee I know this is out of topic but do nurses wear scrubs too or it’s only doctor or does it only depend on the hospital you work in. Asking coz my friend and me have been arguing about it🙈

How to become a nurse anesthetic in SA.....video bo please!....

[@iamnursezee]

Please note EVERYTHING requires research and through planning, I am pretty much aware of requested videos(which are many) but will only be doing them when I've gathered much information on whatever topic was required. But if you are in a hurry, you can also research for yourself on various universities website and the South African Nursing Counsel website, those are the resources I use to gather information. All the best.

[@sihlemakabeni5978]

Hi, l’m a scrub nurse and can give you a bit information. In SA we don’t really have a speciality in anesthesia for nursing however if you work in a operating theatre and you are an enrolled nurse or a registered nurse you may work in anesthesia assiting the anesthetic doctor. However there is a course you could do in the private offered by one of our private hospital schools.

[@iamnursezee]

Thank you Sihle

[@ingridmohammed21]

Hi, there! I agree with my theatre colleague. I’m not aware of current anesthetic programs for nurses, but you may want to consider doing Masters in Periop Nursing Science and persue it from that angle. Also as Zee says, do research on it. Bless
