@ashleyreyna9100 - you go girl!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 You got this! Only a few more months. I was also a May graduate counting down those last months but I love that you are already a nurse. That definitely helps in the program. Good luck to you on your journey!!!

@d.banjamin1108 - Utilization Management

@EmcXperience- I love this!!! Praying you get accepted! I know how nerve wracking that can be!! ❤️❤️

You're very welcome.

@Bknycharlie - That is FANTASTIC and extremely inspiring. I love it. Good luck to you on your journey🙏🏾❤️👏🏾👏🏾

I also turned 50 and this just inspired me. I’m seriously considering

@nursehaji - mission accomplished! Thanks for watching❤️

@ Keep up the excellent job. When your schedule allows, can you make a video on the insurance companies that are hiring? Thank you so much!

@nursehaji - absolutely! I'll add it to the list. Be on the look out for it in the near future. Thank you for the video suggestion! Very much appreciated!

@theunorthodoxnurse Thank you so much! We appreciate your hard work.

@brendawilliams5190- I'm glad it inspired you! I will definitely keep up the vids. Thank you for watching!!

@valedakeys1661 - thank you and thanks for watching! ! 🙏🏾❤️

@iwuese1- great question that is often asked on this channel. I recommend at least having a year of bedside before applying BUT you never know. If a company is desperate they may hire you. Just apply anyway. I just think you'd increase your chances with a year or more bedside experience if you have no UM experience at all. My opinion but I believe anything could happen

@carole3877 - thank you for watching and your insight!!!! As far as salaries for remote positions getting lower and lower, I personally haven't experienced that. It's possible though depending on the employer. As far as in person roles such as bed side, paying more that is right. However, it allowed me to have one job and be dead tired and other negatives. The trade off on working from home and having a lower pay ( by 200 dollars) for me was well worth it, if I can snag more than one remote positions within the same working hours, be able to save a whole pay extra paycheck or fatten my retirement with it putting me in a position to retire earlier, , have less stress, be able to travel while working and see my family....I'd trade it any day. I have one job now and am able to more than make it on just my salary alone with 3 kids. So I guess it just depends where you work maybe. I was also able to negotiate my salary as well. Fair assessment though.

@@theunorthodoxnurse Thanks so much! Have you ever considered offering 1: 1 consulting regarding this? Also, I edited my response to clarify I was referring to in person UR and CM roles such as in the hospital setting

@carole3877- no worries! No I haven't thought about consulting at all but maybe I'll consider in the future. For now, just being helpful on a micro level or any way I can is my goal for now.

@iwuese1- great question! I posted a video today that talks about how to look for a UM job. In it I look at a job that says "or equivalent experience". That phrase is your golden ticket to getting past the years requirement. I have been a bedside nurse for less than a year before snagging a work from home job. I had equivalent experience not as a nurse working for our states medicaid program. So that helped. Try to work for an insurance company prior to becoming a nurse and that could help. Whether you have the years needed to apply or not, just apply. Sometimes they are desperate to fill the position and really it is trainable. I would at least have a year of bedside experience under my belt before applying if you have no equivalent experience. Thanks for watching!!

@@theunorthodoxnurse Ok thank you. I just saw your reply. I will go back and watch the rest of that video. Thanks

@carole3877- you're very welcome. ❤️

@keishamccray8404 - I have a video coming out today that talks about how to get a work from home job / UM job. If you have the time and feel like it, take a look and see if it's helpful. I also have another video about the best answers to interview questions you might also find helpful. If not helpful, drop questions in the comment section of those vids and I can answer for you or make a video that addresses them. Thanks for watching and I'll be praying you find the job you want soon!! 🙏🏾❤️

@AjahChanell-p71 - I love this!!! You go girl! Much faith to you on your medical school journey!!! Praying for good outcomes!! 🙏🏾❤️

@andreajacobs4760 - Very inspiring!!!

@chocchip103tee - Sounds like a plan! 58 years strong! Good luck to you!

@theunorthodoxnurse thk u!!😉

@feefee4234 - you are very welcome!! I'm glad it helped ❤️

@nostalgictarot5744 - I attended Capella and will be making a video in the near future on my experience. There are other nursing channels as well that have talked about their experience as well. I would check those out too. It helped me to look at a number of different channels when making my decision.

@Lovely-33a4 - That is awesome!!!! I know that felt good after all that hard work! Congratulations!!!

@sistersofvirtue5506 - Very inspiring!!! I love this!

@GGFuturenurse- you are very welcome. You got this!!!! Good luck on your journey! ❤️

@mercyegbulem503 - it certainly is challenging! Happy to meet another person that loves art!!

@mommaria1968 - You're very welcome! And Amen to that🙏🏾!!! ❤️❤️

That makes complete sense and a smart decision in my opinion. I remember my prereq days. If you need motivation or inspiration take a look at some of my old videos. I documented what I could do I could look back at it someday. A few years from now you'll be all done with an RN or LVN behind your name. Good luck to you! ❤️ Very inspiring!

👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you!!

Love love love this!

It's hard that you have to work. It could possibly help to think of it as a temporary situation and once you're done with nursing school things will improve. The things we have to do to get to where we want to go ... Well worth it. Good luck to you

@@LisaF-nu5wq Good for you! Do more research, you may be able to do some of your courses online.

@brittneyking4284- makes sense. I hope that your journey as you go about completing your courses lead you to where you would find satisfaction both financially and passion-wise! Good luck to you. We need more people passionate about healthcare like you are. ❤️

@ thank you and I love your content!

@vibrantnubian27 - congratulations!!! 🎉 I was right there with you with the doubt and nervousness prior to the program. My carpool buddy started at 40 as well with me. You will do great and the feelings are perfectly normal. Two years from now you'll have that RN attached to your name. Good luck to you! 🙏🏾❤️

@Pinthalfounce - I got my ADN first and then my BSN. This channel started out as documenting my whole nursing school journey. Thanks for asking.

@ thank you for replying. I’ve been an Lpn since 2010 and now I will be done with my adn in may of this year. I will get my bsn online after that an it’s my dream to work from home.. I’m pretty introverted so thanks for sharing this with us

@Pinthalfounce - you are very welcome. Wow! You have tons of experience transitioning to RN. I also did my BSN online in 2 months at Capella. Great program if you're looking for one. I believe it was the Flex Path, where you do it all on your own. I'm also an introvert so work from home and the Flex Path were perfect for me. Good luck on these last few months on your journey to RN. You're almost there! You can do it!

@ thank u honey and yes I was thinking about capella.. thanks for being my confirmation that it’s the right thing to do..I heard they are starting this month making ppl do clinicals now and that sucks but other than that it should be fine

@annasnow5595 -Thank you and thank you for watching ❤️

@jacqui3837- my heart goes out to you. That sounds hard. Your mom was blessed to have you there with her. I agree. I cannot be a hospice nurse. I don't have the ability to NOT cry over every patient I'd have. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching

@Tricia-d7h - Good question. getting some experience in insurance as a claims examiner or something else could help, but if no insurance experience just make sure you have a great resume. Not every nurse has experience with insurance but still manage to get hired based on bedside experience and the desperation of the company looking to fill the job.

@stephaniewynn8291 - Good question. Job search websites (such as Indeed.com) or the career section of insurance companies you are interested in. Be on the lookout in a few weeks in the near future of me looking for these jobs and letting you know which ones are good to apply for, if you're interested.

@ thank you so much! I will be on the lookout and waiting for your video 🙏🏽

I am so hopeful & grateful after your comment also! I’m 57. Feeling amazing & would love to keep it going!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@Yassss-rj9zf and @M-DOT2006 Good luck to both of you!!! That is amazing!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@@Yassss-rj9zf I am proud of you! What areas in healthcare would you use your degree in the future?

You are very welcome. Those are two great professions! Good luck to you on your journey❤️

Period!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I love that!!! Puts everything into perspective

Amen to THAT!!!! 🙏🏾❤️❤️

Love this 👏🏽

There is power in your belief system. Glory❤

I needed to hear that !!!!!! Thanks!

That is amazing!!! And great news!! You got this❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I will certainly do that! Congratulations on your upcoming graduation!! Just a few more months! You got this! At 56 that is amazing and inspiring👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Congratulations!!!🎉

You go girl !!!

Did you mean to say 2024 because we just started 2025. Lol. Congrats to you. I say with God all things are possible.

You're very welcome. I see postings that say 1 year or equivalent experience at times. I also have seen 5 years needed. It just depends on the company. Search around and I'm confident you will find one suitable for your years. I barely had a little under 1 year as a registered nurse at bedside and was hired but also had relatable background in insurance working for the Medicaid program in my State so that helped.

I'm glad it helped. Happy Healthy and prosperous New Year to you and yours as well. I hope it is even better than the last year❤️❤️🙏🏾

You go Girl!!!! 💪🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️

Am one year younger than you and am going to school too. So we both can do it and prove it that we can do it !
