Wow! That's kind of my life lol I'll be 40 this July with 5 kids...one being 4 years old. I am on my last two pre reqs and I'm taking the teas test in August. You can definitely do it Hun! It does take some hard dedication but you can do it.
@@Rachel0731 hey! It's going great actually! I just got my LPN and will have my RN in Dec! It's been a wild ride for sure but my family has been so supportive and the kids have stepped up so much. I can't wait to be done but I don't regret it.
Great video ! I finished my RN pprogram in my left 40s and with 6 children. It was not easy but I have a great job in critical care that I love. We can all do it
I’ 28 with a 4 year old, and this video was so inspirational for me, because I’m deciding to do an accelerated program for lvn the my end goal is RN BSN! So I really appreciate this video❤️
Age is just a number..I don't see what the big deal is about going at an older age to school..I'm 40 and going back..I've had friends that got their RN at 45-48yrs. Some people might have the support now they didn't have at a younger age..I say go for it..
I’m going into nursing because I have a special needs son who will eventually need long term care so I can be his nurse and get paid to take care of him here in California That’s my drive to be able to better care for his needs
Hey Justine! I just got my CNA and I am debating whether to go into an LVN program or work as a CNA while studying the prerequisites. Unfortunately, I don't have a good support system. I have to work in order to survive. Some co-workers tell me, why don't you go right into an RN program. They say hospitals are not hiring LVNs. In my mind, I see the RN route too long and I don't want to keep waiting to start making a decent living. What do you suggest. You are of great inspiration by the way!
First off, thank you so much 😊 and second, I say go with your gut and your heart! Don’t let anyone get in your head because it will really make you doubt yourself. If you have to work and you can go into an LVN program still do it! If that’s where you can get in and get out quicker you can always go back later for that RN when you are in a better place. It’s really up to you! I wish you the best! 👍🏽😷 you got this!
I would say definitely go with whatever seems right for you. It might be wise to start with lpn first if setting a good foundation for yourself financially is what you’re looking for. 2-2 1/2 years is a long time to work and go to school while struggling to get enough hours at work and be able to go to school and study. Also, the lpn route is less expensive.
Thank God I finally passed the NCLEX-RN exam's with the help of Mr. Kendrick.His an ATI, NCLEX solution guide,a member of the NCSBN department. The man has the key to getting you're License .I will recommend working with this tutor. He has good writing material, so great for the test, questions and answers and audio materials that helped me pass. Do not be discouraged you can do it, thanks you very much hope you can help more be successful in the NCLEX exams. you have the key to this exams God bless you🙏🏼, fell free to contact him I promise him clients after he did my job and if I pass I did so that's what am doing. 🤗🤗Whatsapp+1 (917)727-2674
I had to do the same thing …I was a CNA while going to school for LPN for 13 months and now I’m working as a LPN while I’m school for RN. I had to do it to survive. I’m making 32.50 as an LPN (no agency, new nurse) a lot of people say I should have take the RN route by as a person who needs to make needs met. It worked for me. And they do hire in hospitals. I applied in every hospital in my area. (Virginia) and went to the interview. I graduate at the end of this year for RN program
@@betsy7730 I’m a CNA in Virginia currently and I’m starting the application process for LPN school in community college. Was it an accelerated program you did to get your LPN? Ima have to do like you and get my LPN first and then RN
Just saw your video and I love it. I’m 37 with 3 kids. I have a great support system and my husband along with my kids are routing for me. I start school on November and I’m so nervous. I been a CNA for 10 years and want to do LVN because of y passion caring for patients. How do you study with kids around and how many hours a day do you study? ❤❤
I saw another video that they actually practice studying the body with their kids like play hospital. Or they point at their body and you name the body part :)

Hi Justine, thank you for this video you made. I'm turning 40 next year February. I always want to work in medical field and I will enroll this summer for CNA classes. Wish me luck. Do you have any advice how to keep or help my brain to be sharp lol!
Hi 👋🏽 congratulations and making that decision! It’s never too late! I would get yourself a nclex book from Amazon! And study that. It will definitely help you throughout your schooling and you will be better prepared! Good luck!
Thank you so much for your videos 💐 I’m the new LVN. Today I got my license and I’m finding a decent workplace 😊 I worked as a CNA for two years. I also completed all my pre requisites and ready to find a bridge LVN to RN. I’m from Bay Area. Do you know any good bridge program nearby?

Great video just came across you. I'm checking out which route I should go. I just landed a job with my dream hospital🎉 here in Georgia. The job opened the door for me. And I am so grateful🙏🏽. I will be working in the women center💕 doing environment service🌻. Which the pay was very surprising😊. I have done home health aide and keep trying to get my CNA...but life happens and cause me to have to relocate back home. However, when I was looking for jobs as a HHA so I could take classes for CNA the pay was horrible😮. BUT My dream hospital has a CNA program however, they got something going on right now and they have not opened the classes. Also with the hospital after a year I can get help for school reimbursement🤗😁 SOoooo!! am just trying to think 🤔 should I just gone ahead and prep myself for LPN. I believe that I make more than a CNA make as EVS. I passed the clinical in another state to become a CNA. And miss it by one point the written portion...That was in Florida you can challenge the exam in FL. But GA you have to take a class. So I'm just checking thing out. And I am one of your seasoned mama (50ish) but feel 30ish🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ Thanks girlfriend.
Everyone don't pay loans for school. In GA LPN is a "free tuition" program so the state pays it all . That's only for community colleges, private colleges are about 12 to 15k of fed loans, which, when you think about it, is not super expensive. You can pay that off in a year or two.
I have been trying to check all resources about going into nursing school. I have been wanting to be a nurse for a long time but I just dont know how to start cuz im a single mom , i have no family around to help me with my little ones, cuz i need to work full time, i live on my own with 3 kids, no child support nothing. So im trying to figure what i can do to go for nursing school at the same time work full time
Hi Justin, I really appreciate your videos.And I am wondering what school did you go to?Because I do also live in the california area. Your response would be greatly appreciated.Thank you again and have a wonderful day.

Im not smart enough. Im 49, dropped out of jr college because i failed every single subject and i never had a job. My iq is just a few points above what is legally concidered mentally challenged. I have 0 experience in medicine and never had any form of job in my life. Can i do it?
If you believe it you can. The internet can help prepare you with all your classes. You can do it if you really want it. I am 48 so i graduated high school in 1994.2019 I went to my community college and got my degree in Health Information Technology.

Hey I wrote you on instagram idk if you got it but I'll ask here, Have u ever had an accidental needle stick or no anyone who did and did they catch anything deadly or that lasts forever and for new lvn's who want to move to cali and do travel nursing after their experience and all what is an affordable yet safe city area community for a single mom of 3 kids in elementary school? Thank you in advance and after watching an older video of urs I just have so many questions.

Please help me. last year I lost my $31 an hour job because of covid, I don't work there no more but I'm still under contract with them so they offered to fully pay up to 2 and half years of whatever I decided to study and will help my state so I could also get unemployment for the whole 2 and half years or until I finish school. I'm a 32 yr old male with 3 kids, I was thinking of becoming a LPN but I'm also thinking since it's all payed for why not join a accelerated program and get a ASN and become a RN, I feel later on I might regret not taking advantage of the free schooling and becoming a RN but also thinking LPN would take less time to get. what would you do? with or without unemployment I'm not planning on getting a job to fully focus on school. also since I'm under contract they could open 2nd shift back up and call me back and I could still finish school but i can't count on them calling me back to work. what would you do sorry its long
