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!

[@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!

[@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]

thank you all so much!!

[@CharliEdwards]

Congratulations!

[@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 !! ❤️❤️

[@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 :)

[@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

[@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.

[@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?

[@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

[@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.

[@desmikawhite5069]

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

[@sofiaberglund8038]

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

[@ambersheppard4667]

what a such blessed!

[@patootie3549]

Your channel is making me so pumped for applying to nursing school!

[@raulysse1]

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

[@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

[@Davinacallen]

Thank you so much for sharing this info lady. I just got accepted into nursing school and had no idea what to expect. This is a great heads up and I appreciate what you do. Keep up the awesome videos!!!😘

[@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!

[@ashdempc]

Thank you for your videos! They’re so informational! I was just accepted into nursing school and I’m excited and nervous! 😊

[@skyekennedy-anderson7895]

This is alot!! I love how informative she is ... I love her im subscribed for life

[@klassys7497]

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

[@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?💙

[@LovelyyAubrey]

Did you get in

[@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!

[@shanellewarner6873]

This video was so helpful , and I love watching your videos so much . Cause I love how you keep nursing school and all the stuff you have to go through real with us . Ive always wanted to go in the medical , but after watching your channel it has just really confirmed that nursing is what I want to do .

[@erika1temple]

I can't stop watching you videos!! Thank you so much for making these!!!

[@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?

[@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!

[@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.

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!

[@JeeReed]

Ahhhhh!! Thank you for doing this. I just went to get info on this nursing school yesterday & take my teas test next week and I’ll be starting school either end of this month or in January. This helped a ton!!!

[@emilystevens5739]

I am applying to nursing schools this semester and I totally agree with what you said about getting the background checks and Immunizations and stuff! I am a CNA and I work in a hospital so I went through that process to start my CNA clinical last year, and again to work in a hospital.. in so thankful that I have already gone through that experience because it is SO OVERWHELMING the first time you do it!

[@user-wz4vo8ku9u]

Just recently got in to Nursing school !! Excited, hopeful and nervous

[@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 ❤️

[@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

[@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. 😁

So excited but also freaking out a little. Where is the supply list video?!?! Lol I wanna see if there is something that i didn’t get that night help me!

[@talentedmriplee]

I need to catch up with your videos! Trying to get my grades back up!

[@gunchief0811]

I inquired... At a University in southern California #1) checked for G.I. bill eligibility ✅ #2) pass the basic math and reading comprehension entrance exam ✅ #3) meet with Dean of school or head of admissions. ✅ #4) Pay 56.50$ for background and drug screening ✅ #5) turn in DD214 (Honorable discharge) ✅ #6) updated Immunisation and PPD test #7) prepare for uniform/scrubs measuring and issue. #8) orientation for day one of 1st mod (This is the basic way it's been going for me) #8) text books

[@RNScrub]

another good video. keep it up and keep teaching people. nurse on.

[@maxxy9792]

First of all she is sooooo pretty and so informative I just changed my major to being a nursing major instead of being a biology pre-med major because I started to think about how I could be a nurse practitioner instead of being a doctor cause that was a lot of years and a lot of doctors have to take there work home and I don’t think I could do that

[@chennegailmaatrijk2646]

Im applying for nursing school soonn Hope i get in♡♥

[@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! :)

[@timalove25]

Quick tip: before buying any textbooks look for the PDF online for free. I have yet to buy a book. I will sit on my laptop for hours before I even think about getting a book and most likely if you can’t find the free pdf someone else found it and just airdrop to each other.

[@Keana43]
