I came home from work crying because of stress (and I'm only in pre-nursing) but this video helped me stop feeling sorry for myself because we all have to do it, but it's what I signed up for. It's my passion. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for the inspirational words.

Becoming an RN will truly become a dream come true, I feel like with how competitive it is I feel like I'll never become one. So depressing :( but your videos make me feel better about it! Trying to keep motivated.

Im turning 20 in december and im already in my second year of nursing in Norway. Having some doubts during clinicals with mentally draining and rude patients, but ive loved everything we've learned in lectures so far. you seem like a nurse with a lot of humor and personality. awesome!! people are lucky to have you :)

Thank you, you are definitely a inspiration and motivation for me to complete my journey to becoming a nurse. And I am definitely sharing the love (YouTube messages) with my fellow classmates whom may also need the extra boost when they hit a curve in their path.

This video is making me excited to start the nursing program in two weeks! God bless you brother Mendoza!

NurseMendoza This video was such an inspiration. I had been thinking about pursuing a career as an RN but couldn't quite put together the right reasons and words in my head as to WHY I should pursue it. This video has made my answer completely clear now. In this video I felt I was able to relate to you in just about every aspect. I am currently 22 years old and have been working in a home for dementia patients for almost a year. I love it. I love coming in everyday and working with the psychological, mental, spiritual, physical and emotional aspects of the job. And like you said everyday is different, I remember one day I was working and a patient had smeared/thrown feces all over the bedroom. I'm not even exaggerating, it was everywhere. But I didn't care, I buckled down and I got the job done because I knew It was the best thing to do in order to protect the patients' health. Best part is, I don't even have any formal school training yet and I got access to this amazing job where I come home fulfilled from every night I work. I get access to my RN's and LPNs as amazing resources and guides as to what steps I need take. Such early work experience and guidance from professionals is something I'm sure a lot of people dream of and I intend to not squander it. Your words have made my path oh so clear and I am prepared to start making my next steps.

Thank you.

You are such an inspiration. Im currently a junior in hs and frantically researching nursing programs. I was a volunteer EMT so I shadowed a couple nurses and it became apparent since then that I cannot see myself in any other profession, keep up the good work!

[jackbuys]

Just the kind of motivation I need. I've been a nurse for only four years to date, and I started to have doubts in regard to staying in the nursing profession.

Thank you!

[LunaGuy]

Nursing school is extremely tough, but I am loving it with every fiber of my being. Thank you for your videos! Inspiring! Your ABG tutorial helped me ace an exam. Thank you!

[Gsharr]

thank you so much for making this channel! (: I finished an LVN program I was in, and now studying to take me NCLEX. I'm very nervous because I don't feel well prepared enough. i hate studying too, but i push myself and believe that i can do it. I know one day I'll get to where I need to be in life with Gods help. thank you!

Hey Bro, gotta say that is a pretty awesome encouraging story about how you wanted to become a nurse. I am currently applying for a nursing school and the adviser i spoke with asked me why i wanted to be one. Unfortunately my answer, " I want to help people" didn't go over well with her. She said there is more to nursing than helping people which I know very well. So I have been doing some research on the many branches of nursing. What I am trying to get at is I don't really have a legitimate reason of becoming a nurse. I never wanted to be one when i was younger; i didn't play pretend nurse with my friends as a toddler or did anything that would make anyone think that i would be a nurse growing up. And like you; vomit, picking up dog feces, blood never bothered me and i can eat a full-fledged meal watching a surgery on the T.V. I am a very compassionate person when it comes to helping/protecting people. As i nurse i feel like its the perfect profession for me to get into. I just want to help people either by saving their lives or making a difference in it. Your advice is appreciated and also from your experience as a Nurse maybe you could help clarify the nursing school adviser's reasoning for her response. Thanks!

[JonathanJayTorres]

You and I literally have such a similar story, it’s so crazy! I’m about to start my second semester in nursing school and I can’t wait to be in your position. I also started a YouTube channel to document my journey through nursing school! I wish you nothing but blessings and thank you for making a difference in this world 🤙🏽

I'm almost done with my first year of college and trying to mix in some of my GE classes with pre reqs for nursing. At times I feel like giving up but people like you inspire me to keep going and to never give up no matter how long it takes me to achieve what I want to be. Thank you so much !
