HOW TO PREPARE FOR NURSING SCHOOL

HOW TO PREPARE FOR NURSING SCHOOL. Are you heading into nursing school but are unsure what to expect or how to prepare? In this video I’ll share all the things I wish I had known before starting nursing school. I’ll cover how to prepare for nursing school, what supplies you actually need for nursing school, which nursing school books you need and if you should get them in digital form or hard copy. I also go into some study strategies and how to find some life balance while in school.

I'm a 53 yr old CNA and I've finally decided to go nursing school. I've always enjoyed being a CNA, but in the past few years, it's been really hard to make a living. I feel like it's a little too late for me to become a nurse, but there is such a shortage and I also want to upgrade my living situation.

I’m starting nursing school in May super excited and scared at the same time. I’m a mom of 3 beautiful kiddos. They definitely keep me on my toes! I’m 33 yrs old and finally my dream of becoming a nurse is going to come true! Can’t wait!

This is EXACTLY what I needed to hear! I've often heard horror stories about nursing school, so naturally I got into panic mode when I was accepted into my program. Though you don't personally know me, hearing from a current NP and former nursing student that I will make it through nursing school, is just what I needed.

I'm 42 and am working on my prerequisites before nursing. I dropped out of college 18 years ago when I was put on hospital bed rest with my oldest. Five kids later and I'm finally going back to finish what I started. This video gave me hope that I can do this, even at my old age. Thank you!

I’m a senior in high school and interested in going into the nursing field. This was the only video that made me feel like this is something I could actually do and not make me feel terrified.

I've just been accepted to nursing school in Oklahoma City, to start January 2021! I'm 33 years old, a wife and mom and am getting really nervous about nursing school!! Our daughter is 10 years old and has a rare genetic disorder that causes epilepsy. She's g-tube dependent, wheelchair-bound, non-verbal but communicates with her eye gaze device. She's a princess girl and 100, 000% the reason I want to be a nurse. I can be paid to be her in-home nurse for 40-hours a week, which is stellar! But also, we have had so very many doctor appointments in clinics and unfortunately many inpatient stays - when I see those nurses taking care of my girl I think "I want to do that for others, too!". Thank you so much for your nursing school content! I learn best with videos and note taking so I really hope my school is not book-driven learning! haha!

I just got accepted to an ADN program at my local city college this coming SPRING 2022 (starting on Feb 7) and I’m so anxious because I literally have NO EXPERIENCE in the medical field. This video helps me mentally prepare it. Thank you so much for this video! 😄

[mattwallace]

I’m 42 and getting ready to go nursing school in a couple months! Very excited and nervous!!!

[KristySlicker]

Literally I have been putting school off for over 2 years now because everyone keeps saying how hard it is. So thank you for the pep talk, I know this is the route I want to take, so I am going to tackle it this year!

I start Nursing School in 2 days (Jan 2nd). Have experience in studying with other degrees, but this will be totally different and more grueling 18 months. I'm a 31 y/o male starting this journey, have to work part time, but single with no kids so I can do it. I eventually want to be a Practitioner, but I'm really excited for this. Thanks for the advice, and Happy New Year.

[LexLexi]

Perfect timing! Starting in Jan. I was planning my break like I’m gonna wake up at this time and start study... knowing I need to take a break, breath, enjoy myself. I’m just gonna take care of myself and enjoy myself, fill my cup a little. Thank you so much!
