Thanks a lot this was helpful

[@chocobanks1]

I just want to say "thank you and I love you" for this video.

[@uluponggaming6405]

I wanna be a registered nurse when i grow up. Im 15 at the moment, i wanna be a registered nurse because i wanna help people like how they helped my family. I also wanna be a registered nurse because of the pay and i wanna be able to support my family. I hope when i get older i see this comment again and reply to saying “You did it”.

[@tiffanybrazier8418]

We are rooting for you!🙏❤🧡💛

[@halamadrid6733]

you can do it, don't let nobody tell you otherwise

[@talieliza]

OMG same here!!

[@empressspace8110]

I would pre study so when you actually take nursing I will be easier.

[@etheltaylor729]

You've got all the good reasons for wanting to become a registered nurse. Pray about it and let God direct you.

[@Chelsealdavis10]

I’m heading into the nursing program in august, and I get sick to my stomach thinking about everything I’m about to go through. But I’m excited as well. I just can’t wait to see RN behind my name.

[@thomascampbell350]

I start next semester. I’ve worked my butt off to get this far and I can’t wait. My brother was in a bad car accident when I was in high school and I will never forget those nurses that helped him. They inspire me to this day.

[@masonwhite5250]

This is my exact reasoning for becoming a nurse as well. I feel like I owe it to them for saving my brother. I just got accepted to nursing school and start in May. So scared and nervous.

[@Mindyoursok]

@@masonwhite5250update ?

[@louisp3822]

Always find myself back here! Finally starting nursing school this spring, 2022! Showing appreciation from California!

[@ozzyoz5210]

I'm taking classes for LPN program and I'm intimidated by the fact that I'm a veteran and I'm older than most people but I want to succeed. I used your videos to help me with my prerequisites to be accepted into the program. I've been a nurse all my life, I just wasn't being paid.

[@Anmlover412]

[@gabbyslife4965]

You're one of the best nurses online. I've followed you for years and I finally made it to college I start nursing school in the fall. I've been doing pre reqs for over a year and its HARD. I don't know how i will do once I'm on my nursing program

[@angnic3713]

I'm starting nursing school tomorrow and i'm definitely nervous. I'm trying to work on not stressing out because i'm the type of student that tends to be negative and constantly doubt myself. :( Wish me luck!

[@akhl9842]

i'm gonna start in a month. I'm really nervous. There is a lot to study....i dont know if i should do it. I was stuck between radiography or nursing.... but finally chose nursing ahhhh

[@JshawnReeves-to8df]

Hi everyone. Must say this video is very interesting as I will be stepping foot as my first time in LPN classes. I’m from New Jersey I’m 34 yrs old. I wanted to do this years ago and lost focus. But now I have focus as my mom doing EMT which inspired me to try this again. I start class in September and can’t wait to learn something new and actually understand everything that was ever told to me in the hospital. I’m excited and can’t wait to see where this goes

[@emkendyentr9108]

Nothing like a congratulations you got it and then "oh you need to pass this exam before the semester even starts" lol

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Hello Nikki :) It is very awesome you will be starting in a few weeks. I actually have a playlist that contains videos I've created on how to study for these classes. There are individual videos that cover the classes in-depth along with other videos that may help you with clinical tips. Here is the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLQrdx7rRsKfWBO40qeDmmaMwMHJEWc9Ms I hope that helps, and best wishes this semester :)

[@anthonysantana4278]

I was thinking about going to a BSN program in Kentucky. The more I thought about it, the more I was like why should I. If the hospital wants me to have BSN, they can pay for it. I already I have a bachelor's and Master's degree (nursing will be my second career).

I had to to take patho as my prereq, no bonus was given and I ended up with a B-. I start my BSN program today and we have clinical for 12 hr shifts one day a week the first semester.

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Hi again, April :) Thanks for sharing your experience and that is awesome you got a B- with no bonus. Patho is an extremely tough course, and it sounds like you will do great in your BSN program. I hope you have a great semester :)

[@AN-ep6jd]

+RegisteredNurseRN Thank you! I will take all the positive vibes I can get! Do you have any videos regarding pharmacology or the math involved?

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Yes, I have a series on solving dosage and calculations and each video comes with a free practice quiz: kzbin.info/aero/PLQrdx7rRsKfUYdl0TZQ0Tc2-hLlXlHNXq Then I have NCLEX lectures where I cover pharm and diseases (I include everything together): kzbin.info/aero/PLQrdx7rRsKfWwTsEG3KPPQx9rWa8AqMIk I hope that helps :)

I am currently in the legal field and after 24 years I want to change my career to nursing. Now in my late 40s, I wonder if I'm too old to start over. My end goal is a nursing Ph.D. with focuses in oncology and AI/data science. That is at least 4-5 years.

[@sallyt6606]

Hi Sarah, So I just got passed the first semester. It is currently summer vacation, and I been attempting to enjoy my time, get more rest, and work, but this has made me feel guilty. Second semester is around the corner, and im real nervous because of comments classmates are making. I have begun to cover skills, assessment, and calculations because I feel it will be very important this semester. Lately I am worried for my exams, and the nclex. I want to be successful and be good at what I do. Im not as great at answering nclex questions even though in a given situation I can maneuver my way around. (I just want to be better) I just dont know where to begin since there is so much to cover. I been following your channel for a long time. I have no one else to turn to. It would mean so much if you could suggest me things I can do to improve myself or keep my self busy. I hope you will be able to get back to me thanks a bunch.

[@caribaez5711]

I am a night shift CNA and it is hard.. cuz it is hard but I think since I am a highly emotional person, I like it.. but it is super super hard to be a registered nurse.

[@jmei8295]

why not consider LVN

Nursing degree is very noble professional compared other degree in college

If I could be 80% to 85% as great of a knowledgeable, compassionate Nurse such as yourself I would be BEYOND ECSTATIC and SUPER THANKFUL not to mention over the moon🤞🙏🙏👍 to God the almighty architect.....let's see what he has in hidden up his sleeve for me in 2019🤔😊😋

[@MumJoyTendo-qo8nh]

Oh God bless financially and I reach my dream I want to study nursing but 😢😢

[@zechariarothke6380]

I am interested in going to nursing school but I'm debating entering an associates program (and work as an rn and work on a bsn) or go to a bsn program fully what's your advice

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

Hello :) Either way you want to do it is great. Many people obtain an ADN and work for a while and then go back for a BSN. Many work places are pushing for nurses to have a BSN (however, it varies...some are strict about it, while others just want those RN initials). I would look at the local hospitals in your area and see what they require or call them. I have a video on the differences between an ADN and BSN degree if you would like to watch it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGPUcodtd7Z5rbs

[@mateusdasilva1834]

I’d love to go to school for nursing school. English is my second language, not sure how hard will be 😢

[@RajwinderKaur-pm1pb]

My first semester is going to start on Jan 11, 2021 and i am so excited but little bit nervous too.

[@iKnowYoureBusyBut...]

Is there a resource you recommend to practice critical thinking questions for the various classes. I'm a person that really needs practice to gear my mind in that way.

[@holyshititzmark]

Did you have any free time in the afternoons? Because I’m 15 and I’m about to go into nursing in the fall, and my whole year is full of plans

[@maycv16]

I wish my school did a class just for assessments. Our program feels so rushed

[@IslemTav]

Did anyone get clinicals on their first semester in an ASN program? I just want to know what to expect.

[@rachelkim6061]

I think it depends on the length of the program bc you need a certain number of clinical hours. My program is 15 months (4 semesters) and no clinical the first semester. My friends program is 11 months and she started clinicals almost immediately

[@maamesika1245]

Thank you sooo much.

[@xolisilemavundla3370]

I wish to be a nurse but I have got level 2 in life science what should I do,can I qualify or I have to upgrade the subject?

[@chelzhi]

Hi, I was wondering if you can give a tip how to study if you have like 3-4 classes in each semester? I am so used to having a part time school. Most of the time, each semester I would only have like 2 classes. I went to an accelerated program so ours only last like 9 weeks for two classes and then we go to next class. But the school I want to apply for a Nursing School is full time.. I believe that on my first semester I have like, 3 classes, since I took some already, so the next sem, I would have like 4 classes. So how do you study in a week? Do u study each subject per day? or like u study 2 subject in 1 day? I hope I am expressing my question clearly.. So basically in a week, how do u study for 4 classes, how do you split it? Thank you..

[@RegisteredNurseRN]

+chelzhi Excellent question and you did a great job expressing it :) My nursing school was set-up like this, and I would have this many classes a semester so I think I can give you some advice on it. The very first thing I would do at the beginning of each semester was take each course syllabus (you will get this on the first day and this tells you when all your tests, quizzes, and projects are due) and write down in a planner the dates of when everything was due. Then I would start planning out how I was going to study and take it day by day and week by week. For instances, say you have an exam in Patho and project due in the same week. I would complete my project a week before it was due and then spend the rest of the time studying for my Patho exam (I would skim the material in my other classes but if they didn't have an exam or quiz coming up, I didn't give them much time). Personally, I tried not to study multiple subjects in a day (I found it too confusing). I would look ahead in my planner and start studying for an exam in a class a week before the exam. I would dedicate all my study time to that particular class until the exam. However, if I did have two exams on the same day (very rarely...our nursing professors were really good about making sure that didn't happen) I would split my time studying each subject during the day. My advice to you is find a system that works for you, stay organized, work ahead on projects, and get plannner. I know it sounds really daunting juggling that many classes but once you find your rhythm you will find you can get through it. I hope in the next upcoming weeks to start making some videos on how to study in nursing school. Is there anything in particular you would like to see? Any suggestions would be awesome :) -Sarah

[@chelzhi]

+RegisteredNurseRN Hi Sarah, Yes pls. show an example of how you juggle like 3 classes in one week, like lets say YOU HAVE AN QUIZ IN one class, and how would do other classes You mentioned that you try not to study like 3 different classes, I tried that before in a week, I have like 2 classes that semester, and I would study everyday with those 2 class/subject. Once I'm done on the first one I would jump to the second one, I find it not working well, so what I did I divide my week into 2 group, first one I would hard to get all my assignment or project done or anything needed to do on that class, and then after that, 2nd group: my 2nd class/subject I would do the same thing I did on the first one. I can't wait for your new video on you study :)
