I was a LPN for 2 years before I went to RN school. I choose LPN first because they get more clinical hours and I don't regret it! My school was only $3k because I did it at a votech. Once I became a LPN I worked at a hospital and then did the career ladder to RN school so it was only a year. Now I'm 5 classes away from my BSN. It's not about how you start the race but how you finish it.
!!!! Get it gurl! So how has the transition from LPN to RN been? What type of nursing do you do now? I can not wait to get into a program, I know that the career opportunities will def expand?
yourfavnurseb Thanks for the video, can I do the LPN if am not a US citizen?
DivaNurse405 3000$ ??? Please where ????? Mine is about 14k 😑😑
Sweet. what school did you go to for LPN to RN? Thanks!
Perry Froze I believe you can as long as you’re a legal resident, not need to be a citizen
I've literally have 4 weeks left of LPN school. I'm not trying to discourage but encourage anyone who's reading this. I started January 6, 2016 it started off fast paced, intense, and tough. In the summer of 2016, I failed adult Med Serge. While taking Mental and Maternal with clinical and theory. I was very discourage. I don't know if all schools apply, but I had only one attempt to fail, no other options. With God and an awesome support system, I didn't give up I continued into fall semester passing with B in Med Serge. I say that because it was a breeze all of the material was clear and comprehending. January 2017 I started my Spring semester. During spring break I've been keeping myself ahead of the game. Rewinding back a little I completed my clinicals a month early by sacrificing to do 24 hours a week instead of 12 by asking my clinical instructor to do this. (it's good to communicate with your teachers and clinical instructor). I literally have 4 weeks left of school reality is setting in and I'm leaning and depending on God to get me through this. Phillipians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. This is my motto. Nursing school is not easy but stay focused, dodge negativity, and surround yourself with others in positivity. You will make friends and it's good to. You all will need each other (trust me). I'm praying for all of you. Step out on faith. I pray God give you favor with whoever you encounter with on this journey. You will pass, you will succeed, you will become a nurse!
April Hudson My dear, your words were powerful! It gave me chills and moved my spirit. I too, will be a nurse. I'm going to become a CNA, and work while going to school to be an LPN. After that, I'll work as an LPN while going on to be an RN. I think of nurses as being like that certain Samaritan Christ talked about (Luke 10:25-37). Know that Christ not only use us to be there in the greatest moments of life (child birth), and comfort those in the saddest moments (death), but to speak the word of God to those in need, and to show the Spirit of God through our duties as a nurse! I believe that you'll be a great nurse, and I will pray for you and many other nurses/nursing students as well! God Bless!
Grant the White Owl thank you so much. I love the way you have your goals set. I'm excited for you and pray God give you favor with teachers, students, etc. Yes a nurse carries many loads and the amount of work, dedication, constructive criticism is what makes you an awesome nurse. May God continue to bless you. PS continue speaking into the existence of your life.
April Hudson
very inspiring!
Very motivational... What about work , did you have to go part time
Constance Daniels Yes I did have to work, but I was terminated for taking off too many days due to school. I was a CNA at my job for 6 years. It was very devastating to know that your own job wouldn't want to see you succeed and better yourself. If your job will work with you, work on the weekends if possible. During the week you will need your study time. Good luck and God bless!
hi I took my GED 26 times and started at age 26 I self taught myself as well as GED ready I finally passed in Feb 2016 I ran to lpn school started July 2016 I failed medsurg and finally passed and finished lpn school in September 28 , 2017 I'm so proud of myself and I believe if I did it and I dropped out of school at age 13 never went to high school and got my GED I believe anyone can do it not to mention before I became a lpn I was a CNA and I was for 12 years since age 18 mine you you don't need your GED to be a CNA n so I'm 32 years old now and I'm a lpn any one can do it put your all in to it
Lakiya Brookins Great testimony, thanks for sharing. Do u like being a nurse?
Lakiya Brookins OMG!! I’m really glad I read this comment. I needed this. Congrats to you love!!
Congratulations and thank you for sharing your story.
lala fewulzr Wow that’s great it’s not about how you start it’s all about how you finish. Do you have a email or anything? so maybe you can help me.
Congratulations, I'm so proud of you and I don't even know you... do you and to continue?
All of these comments are soooo inspiring to read and i love your video!
I’m 32 years old, just found out i got accepted into LPN school about a week and. The program takes two years but i don’t care. It’s affordable and I plan to get my RN after I become an LPN.
I‘ve been working as a CNA for 12 years. Tried getting into LPN school before and never made it past the TEAS exam. I didn’t do well this time on the TEAS test again but I poured my heart out during the interview. I’m convinced the director saw my potential because here I am...I’m 27 days away from starting my journey to become an LPN!!!
Everyone keep your head up and just keep going ❤️❤️❤️
Congrats to you for staying focused on your goals!!! It’s always good to show that you are a real person during the school interviews. Let me know when u graduate!!! And let me know if u have any vid requests once u start the program
yourfavnurseb thank you sooo much!!!
@@nursekaitland9410 where school did you go for your LPN program?
I agree with you my dear, I did exactly what you explain. Got my GED, Get in LPN programs,and focused to be prepared to pass the NCLEX in one time. Everybody can do it . I'm not a young person, and it's not about the School but your way to understand and apply what you learn to become a Practical Nurse.
Yep you have to make your life work for you.
Good for you hunny!!! I'm so proud of you! ❤❤❤❤
Solange Joseph ours is 12,000
I'm going through my cna course now I'm going for my Lpn 2019 I'm destined for greatness
Solange Joseph i am in ged class and hoping to pass my ged soon and getting to lpn program.
I’m on the road to getting my RN at a community college and we can get our LPN after the 3rd semester and then after the 5th semester we get our RN.
Chaquitta Henderson: hey which state is that
Never heard of that. Sounds cool.
Really where?
Omg, I applied to Applied Tech in St.Louis. I passed the admissions tests, I have the interview next week! I’m sooo glad I ran across your channel!
Yes! Oh that’s SO exciting. Good luck and email or DM me on instagram if you have any questions about the program. And say hi to my auntie she works at the desk her name is Keisha.
Nurse B
yourfavnurseb I most definitely will, I love your channel already! I’ve met her, she’s a nice lady! Next time I see her, I’ll let her know I found her niece on UA-cam lol.
BuffyCones good luck, I took the test 6/26... Hoping to get my interview scheduled soon! Maybe I'll see you when school starts in September 🤞🏾
very true my 1st week of work I cried everyday!! The hardest part of nursing has been dealing with the nurses. All of my coworkers are 10 - 20 yrs. older than me. But, I work hard and know that I am gaining so much experience!!! ♡
Deayna Gallegos awww😔
This is my position in life right now thanks for sharing I'm gearing up for LPN school in April I need a career before 30
LaParis Jones hey how did it go
How’s it going i have the same thoughts lol
We’re waiting PARIS! Lol update us girl! 👀
It really depends on the school. I was an LPN first, but it only took me 9 months to get my RN after that. So just find a school that fits your schedule and lifestyle. I love being an RN. It's a totally different feeling. Like ah BOSS!!!
IAmMsHoneyBee what school did u go to that only took u 9 months
Yes... do share and which state? I need this lol
Shannon Angelique Hocking College in Nelsonville, Ohio has an LPN2RN bridge that lets your get your Associate RN in 9 months..
Gunnar Dotson woah that's great!
Shannon Angelique I live in Alabama and it’s the same with my school. I getting my lpn through southern union and I can do the lpn-to-rn bridge once I’m done and do 2 more semesters I will have my associates in nursing!
love this video! LPN 4yrs finally finishing my RN and it's all so true! nursing is challenging and all the power to climbing one hell of a ladder
Thx gurlie, I've been an LPN for 2 years and I feel like the road to RN is taking forever but I know I'll get there. Congrats, do you have a specialty that you want to pursue?
-yourfavnureseb
why 4 years for lpn?
Shauntay Belton right?
Loved this video!!❤️❤️ I’ve been a CNA for 6 years and I just passed my entrance exam for the MET center!! I’m hoping I can start in March! Mom of 4 girls, this is def the best route for me!🤞🏾
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. You will do well. My aunt in law is the adm assistant there her name is Keisha! Let me know if you have ANY video requests. And make sure join the fb group for support and tips.
Nurse B
Omg!! Kesha is so sweet! I talked to her for an hr before I even took the test! 😂 And I’ve already joined the Facebook group!! Keep up the videos, you’re blessing a ton of people!👏🏾✨🙌🏾
In WV I will be taking a 4 semester adn course for $7200 and thats before any Pell I may get.I think thats a great deal and I can't wait to get started in August.I'm a 58 year old LPN by the way.I've been out of nursing for 34 years raising 11 children.
Darlene Paul that’s awesome! I live near Charleston
@@redevous Turns out my program is more like $11,000.I failed a&p last semester.I passed this semester but with a 72 and I need a 75 for nursing so this coming Monday I will be taking a&p for the 3rd time ..aarrrgh.Hopefully 3rd times a charm.
Darlene Paul Congratulations keep God first and study hard, you will succeed
I did cna here in florida, the pay sucks but now ive graduate as a LPN and having a hard time passing the nclex dont know what im doing wrong personally but now i have to take a remedial course for 3 weeks inorder to retake the exam....money is delaying me from taking this course, its so hard but im going to get there by the grace of god...im still confident about persuing further in the nursing field...future RN bsn Graduate😀😀😀😀
This girl is so wise!
I did my LVN first to have an edge into the RN program. I wanted a better shot at getting accepted into an RN program here in California. Many schools here, will have you waiting years before you get in!! Luckily, I was recently accepted into my RN program and start October 30th 2017, and I am super excited!!! You will enter the RN program with a good foundation!! Good luck with your nursing career!!!
Renee Lewis congrats gurlie. Keep me posted on how it goes.
I appreciate you doing this video. I'm in the process now. I take my TEAS test February 13, 2017 and I am soooo nervous! I'm trying to get into the LPN program for fall 17. So many people are negative when I tell them I'm going for my LPN license and ask why don't I go for RN. Please do update videos 😘
MizzShron Yea Im going for my LPN also. People ask me that too why I'm not going for RN. What people fail to realize is that some people don't have 2 to 4 years right now. I just simply tell them this is MY life and this is the road that is best for me. Good luck!
Hope everything worked out for you! Hope you have your LPN and a great job! 💕
My LPN school is only 6000 😭 let me stop complaining lol
Kelsea Bee where do u live?
Kelsea Bee mine was FREE
yourfavnurseb Mississippi
Erick Rosa same for me 🙌🏾 but it's still relatively cheap.
Kelsea Bee mines 4.5k
Thank you for making this vid. Can you make a vid on what LPN school taught you or what u learned? I start August 2017!
Good topic, will do!
I agree I start in August as well
Hey did you finish lpn courses. I start in September of this year
This is very encouraging information. My daughter is about to finish High school and she's still kinda scattered about what to do next. So I'll be sharing this with her.
We usually watch your videos together but she's hanging out in Ohio til next week... thanks for sharing 🤗
Thanks for doing this video. Tomorrow morning I'm waking up early to call a few schools about there nursing program. I'm so encouraged!
I So Love your earrings!!! They're Really cool! Anyways, Thank you for sharing this video.
Thx, I made them. The material is burlap
My wife is going to CC and her program is 5k...17k wow that's a lot...but very proud of you...good luck
Thanks. Congrats to your wife, how did she score such a good deal, OMG 5,000 I could pay that out of pocket. But there is an RN program about an hour from my house that's 5,000, I'm still debating if it's worth the commute.
yourfavnurseb
My wife attends to Cuyahoga Community College and all of her prerequisite were complete prior to being accepted into the program and their was no waiting list at all, please don't stop your education...she failed the Lpn program twice at another school, but I didn't allow her to quit on herself at all, she just complete her first semester in Lpn
This fall I completed chemistry 1010 with an A, in the spring I'll be taking chemistry 1020, then all I have to complete is English 2, Micobiology, Anatomy & Physiology 1&2 and Statistics, then I'll have all my prerequisites for both the A.D.N & BSN will be completed.
Afterward I'll be taking the entrance Hesi A2 exam which I only need to take is the English and Math portion thats required for both the Lpn and R.N. and I must pass the exam with a 75% commutative for either program, I'm doing the A.D.N once I complete the program I'm transferring to Cleveland State University for my B.S.N, which both colleges are right across from one another, makes it super easy when it comes to transportation, skip right across the street...lolo, also Cleveland State University give a $2,000 scholarship when you attend to their B.S.N. program.
yourfavnurseb Hey I'm in the area can I message you more info about this?
sorry for the late response.
Congrats to you and your wife, you two are going to be bringing in the big bucks together and you'll both know how it feels when you come home from a crappy day at work. I'm also taking my prereqs for ADN and BSN until I can get into a program of my choice.
-yourfavnurseb
Im so sorry I didnt see your post. yes please message me, I would be happy to help
Im so happy to have come across your video, I am in a similar situation to where you were financially and Im soo done with my job. I have an appointment to visit an LPN school tomorrow and Im so excited, thanks for the tips I plan on using them Lord willing I will be successful in this endeavor.
Amina Oliver ! thats exciting! good luck. yea, so many people are going through financial issues/ slumps. im just so fortunate to have become a nurse. its a good choice.
Wow, thanks for such a quick response. You are an inspiration, I subscribed to your channel for future motivation and encouragement ☺
Amina Oliver lol. im on vaca from work. so ive been on over drive with my channels. more vids to come. please keep me updated on ur nursing journey.
I sure will
Hi you did the right thing. Start from the bottom and work your way up.
Omg you in St. Louis... So am I. I been watching your videos and I'm registering for my cna claases next week❣️❣️❣️❣️
Dominique Daugherty Congratulations
This video changed my life Brandi. Thank you! Always & forever, thank you!
It changed mine too. ☺️ I’m glad you listened and believed in yourself enough to go for what you want.
The admitting test has held me back for a long time. My CNA class was a breeze. I am still trying to ace the test today. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
You will get it! Have you identified what you need to work on?
Nurse B
Your medical journey is super encouraging! Thanks for documenting it along the way 😊 You grow girl!
"Things happen....." sips tea 😂😂😙
jlmfred60 right! I’m weak!
The cheapest school in CA is 29k! But good advice I will stock up and get things in order.
Omg that’s what I’m saying. Prices are so hiked up here 😖
No way. My community college in ca asks about 10 k
Unicorn Horse community college is significantly cheaper. My local cc is about $5K. But general classes plus the LVN program are really hard to get into where I live. Even if you have all your prerequisites, it’s basically like playing the lottery. If you don’t get picked, you have to try the following year. If you’re lucky, it’d take 2 years at the very least. Private schools know this, so unfortunately they hike up their prices and take advantage. Time is money. So it may cost more up front, but getting done a lot faster might be worth it for some. If you have the time, definitely go the cc route! :)
I paid 7500 for tuition and all supplies at an adult school in northern Ca.
same thing in MA
Great information! I decided to apply for LVN because it will be a faster route than RN. I am at a community college but the rn program is so competitive that they tell you to take all science courses individually to make an A in each class. Our RN program bases acceptance upon how high your GPA is in science courses, psych, sociology, and English. There is a point system and you have to make 70 points on the criteria list in order to apply. I have all of my general classes done but it would have taken me another 2 years just for science alone (one class each semester). They only take apps once a year. I don't have time for that. They get over 300 hundred apps each year. One lady told me it took her 4 yrs to do pre-reqs 😲. I am in California and there is no wait list for any programs. You have to reapply each year if you don't get in.
I agree! it is cost efficient, manageable despite all the handwork as an ADN but you can work quicker while getting pre reqs and gain experience before a BSN so many good accredited LVN schools not just community colleges but other programs available with high nclex pn passing rates =]
Thanks so much nurseb. You have a really level head on your shoulders for one so young! I'm trying to decide which route to go and your advice has been most appreciated. I wish you all the best!
I like that you got straight to the point and that you genuinely are helping others thank you for sharing
Wow 17,000 the programs for LPN's in TN is a little under 8,000 congrats to you and thanks for sharing
I know it's crazy. It's around $6000.00 in South Florida.
you might as well go to r.n school
my local cc is 23k
Jasmine Smith do u know the name of the school in tenn. looking to attend nursing school
June's Corner hey, may I ask where in South Florida?
I love being a nurse. It's hard♡♡ but I love it!!#lvn
Jeez you're good looking 😍. But great information! I start my program summer 2020. Thank you
The only option I have for LPN is gonna cost me $19,000. They're the only ones that accepted me automatically without pre-reqs and all of the requirements. I'm a CNA. I'm thinking that I'm just gonna go this route. LPN's make way too much money these days, literally, around here its $30 an hour plus. I can at least work and pay off my debt for a while and someday do the RN like you did. I am so proud of you Brandi!
Being a cna isn't enough money, youre right. I just want to pursue lpn diploma. But i say it never to late. I do plan on relocating. Im just having it to hard for some knowlege and skills in this town, just want to have a decent lifestyle. Still going to pursue cna to lpn. Thanks for responsing back. This is my dream. Pamela
Ok thanks NurseB so excited I start my LPN journey August 21
!! COngrats, let me know if there are even vids that I can post that can help you. I really want to crank out some back to school vids because I have alot of subscribers who are starting this fall. So stay tuned
My LPN program is $25,000 and my financial aid covered $23,000 💚😊 God is good.
Great video my sister stay successful!
I found a Technical College here in South Florida where the Tuition is $908 per semester (5) so itll be a little under $5000 for the program. I've been going back and forth about just going for my LPN because I did about a 1 1/2 going for my Bachelor's and life got in the way and here I am 3 yrs later now ready to give nursing another shot..I WILL BE A NURSE DAMMIT!! I owe my previous school so they may not release my transcript as well (had to request online) so for me practical nursing is the way to go to get my foot in the door.
Yea it really puts you in a jam, I def feel your pain gurl. But being adult students you have to deal with life and learning and that a whole other issue. $5,000, such a steal, you can pay that out of pocket. Keep me posted, future nurse!
Which school is that? I'm in South Florida and interested in a lpn course.
Thanks for the insight, this helped out with the questions I've been wondering. I plan to be in the LPN program. I'm signing up this spring. thanks for sharing
Thanks and good luck. I'll be doing a video soon on the things to do before starting nursing school.
-yourfavnurseb
stayforevertrue Appreciate it, and I'm looking forward to your next vid
good vid. I start May 1st! I passed entrance exam. I hope this year brings positivity and abundance! ty
Chantay Wadlington ! congrats. Ill do a vid on what to do before you start nursing school.
I'm currently getting my AA in health science and I'm thinking about either doing a CNA or LPN certificate/licenses. I'm so unsure of what I want to do In life , and like you said some people think Nursing is for them and than a year later want to do something different. I just turned 21 and feel sooo confused and behind on my goals and just life in general. I pray God will tell me what my calling/passion is 😔😔
goldn rosee Yes it is hard when u are trying to "find" yourself. But God will lead u. How long do u have to complete ur AA? Have u worker in the healthcare field?
yourfavnurseb I have roughly 3 more semesters or 7 classes in total.I go to school part time and work full time and my job is in Sales + Business. I've been thinking about getting in the medical field for a long time because I LOVE helping people and always have put others before me. But like I said I'm so indecisive of what to do 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Girl you young! Im 28 and on here wondering what to do with my life.
This is good advice, thank you!
$17,000?!?!? My tuition was only $5,000 for five semesters.
me too
I didn't pay anything for RN school. Grants covered it all
I only had to pay for like $2,000. Scholarships covered the rest. No grants for me cause I already had a bachelors.
Brian Wood I had a bachelors too in psych but I still got grants
You were lucky. All I qualified for was scholarships and loans. I didn't have to borrow much thank god
Hi favornurseb, Iplanning on getting in LPN program I got all information, got start at CNA 2018 and move toward LPN. Excited.
I wanted to thank you for making this video. I myself have wanted to go the LPN route for about seven years now, and everyone is telling me, "Just go for your RN and go the extra mile.."
LOL
You choose what’s best for you. “They” will always have an opinion, even the ones who haven’t even done it.
Right. Lol
You are very beautiful by the way. :)
Thank you !! I'm in LPN school now. I found a school $15k in Ohio.
Adina Bailey I'm in Ohio my program is 12k
what school is that?
Good for you.. i once was a CNA hated it .I UNDERSTAND. I WENT TO PHARMACY SCHOOL BECAUSE AFTER BEING A CNA FOR YEARS I WAS DONE WITH PATIENT CARE. GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
thank you for this video, I'm trying to get in lpn school now and trying to find financing is very hard because I already have a degree.... so I'm working two jobs right now to save money.... but I won't stop til I start and finish the program because it's what I want
Money is the one things that holding me up when it comes to pursing my RN. What state are you in there might be govt programs. I know here in STL you can get something called WIA its like 5,000 towards school for doing job readiness classes. They go by income so if you have kids it helps. But for people like me with a two household income and no kids its tough. But hey the degree afterward will be worth it. Maybe look online and apply for scholarships or find an employer that will help with school.
-yourfavnurseb
stayforevertrue
thank you for all your posting, they are very helpful.... I have found a school that will accept me, the advisor and I have been internet searching for funding and we have found some, I'm in Detroit, Michigan so it's some stuff available but it's mainly for low income, I'm not considered to be low income in their book, and because I have a degree the really don't wanna help... but I'm still working my two jobs and saving so I will get there soon.
thanks again
Best video i came across , thank you for this video ❤️
I absolutely agree with you.I went for my lpn n instead because I was told to do all these pre reqs for the rn that has nothing to do with nursing .like history and all this other crap
In phx AZ its only $4000
Quite informative. Thanks for keeping your delivery simple ... real talk.
I liked this video I’m currently going to the nursing field I’m kind of nervous but I have faith in myself ❤️
You guys have it tough in America. $17,000 to become a nurse? I am in Scotland and i got paid to do my nursing degree! You don't get paid much but you get all your fees paid, uniforms and a bursary towards your living expenses. I qualified 20 years ago and got about £5000 a year. ( Not sure what that is in dollars ) I worked as a nursing assistant while I was studying at university to earn extra money too.
I will look you on Snapchat and Instagram to see those pics and videos. I working on scheduling my test for PN program. I need to keep myself organized with the schedule. I am confident and I aiming high. 😃 Excited about this program. Ms. Mcrae
I love your videos so informative.. Would you recommend taking a CNA program from Red cross. It's fairly cheap😎
Didnt know they had one. I would do it
Yes
I rather go straight to become a RN
Your opinion. Less hands on. Less experienced.
That is a great idea to review a GED book! Thank you so much for suggesting it. :)
Np, it really helped me. Unless the school is doing hesi or teas but I think they are all similar as far as the material esp for math
Hey nice vid, thanks. Going to be starting LPN program January 2019 because the only one in my area doesn't start til then (November '17 right now) Hoping it'll be worth it.
You're awesome! Thanks for the advice! I'll apply it.
I paid around $12,000 for my tuition. I found out there is a community college here that does it for about $3,000... so what. the. hell.
Congrats on your LPN degree!! You have a very cool accent. I should visit St. Louis
Thanks so much! !love your channel
My LPN program is 3500.. Im.nervous but excited for this journey..
yay, thats a deal, where are you at.
You should join the yourfavnurseb fb group, there are alot of nursing students there and I post often.
-nurseb
yourfavnurseb sounds good I'll search it on FB
Shawn O. Wow It's 27k in NY what state u live in?
This was great advice. Thank you!
I'm in the program right now but my tuition is close to 40k 😭
Damn! My medical school was half of that.
I'm 20 years old and am thinking of being a lpn. I work with kids at a daycare rn but I want to do something more rewarding and feel like a bigger person.. I was just never that good at school so I'm kind of worried
Renee Cunningham Before nursing i worked at a daycare too. Everyone gets worried just make sure your ambition out weighs your doubts. You can do it.
yourfavnurseb thankyou!
My adn will only be 7200 for the 2 years $1500 for books plus uniforms.So $8700 for my RN.Our area facilities pay for you to get your bsn so that will be free.No debt Yeah!!!
@Jemma K wvup in Parkersburg w.v.Turns out its more like $11,000 and you're done in 4 semesters.However you do have to do a&p 1&2 and microbiology as pre reqs
It makes practical sense.
the school that I'm going to tutition is 8,000
I'm thinking about becoming a cna in the future. Maybe a lpn later on.
Go for it! It changed my life for the better
Radiology Tech, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, EKG, Cat Scan , PA program do you want to be a nurse or do you want more money, $20,000 is too much for LPN. Every LPN regrets being a LPN.
Abbie is LPN been four years ago and my sister in law April RN nurse ten years
Thanks for the video! Is LPN same as LVN? I live in southern California
Yes
Heyyy , I'm from Saint Louis , MO too .Im shockingly surprise that I stumbled upon this video !!!
(Blessing in disguise??) I feel that I'm behind in life & need better pay ) So I want to go into LPN program at The met Center to get started in the Nursing Field (I'm a phlebotomist now) .. however , my step mom ( who is a Taurus and RN ,so I value her opinion ) said that they give you a lot of patients . And that it's not worth it . To just go through with the BSN . But being that Me and you are around the same age , and I'm feeling the same way you felt . I was hoping you could answer so question . To help me decide. Questions :: about How is it going for you ? Is the pay worth it ? Are there jobs available? Thanks in advance
Hey gurl!
Im glad another St. Louisian found my channel.
When she says "they give you a lot of patients", is she referring to the school or jobs that hire LPNs?
I work at a large nursing home, so the stress and work load is a lot, but I get a lot of support from my coworkers, plus I've been at my job for 5 years and started as a CNA so it's different for me since I started off already familiar with the facility.
But, is there money to be made? YES, esp since there is a huge nursing shortage and companies are willing to start LPNs off with higher wages. And there is always over time and (my job even offers bonus and double time)
In nursing you will never have to worry about finding a job unless you have something against you on your license and even then some places will still hire you.
If you havent done any prereqs yet, I would say do the Met Center first, and work as an LPN while taking your classes for RN. While in RN school after you finish your first semester, UMSL has a RN to BSN program that you can do one day out of the week while still in RN school.
So there are alot of options, but if you are kind of starting from scratch like I was, LPN first is a great start. The money is good, you will have leg up on other nursing students too because you'll have that clinical exp.
Long response, but let me know if you have any other specific questions, stay positive, at least study and take the next entrance exam for the August LPN class and the met center. Finish the application and just see if you get in. If not then try again or enroll in nursing prereqs.
Just keep your options open do research and in the end do whats best for you and your future.

yourfavnurseb THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH ... I'm going to be hounding you with questions , when I start lbs
Basically LPN job description is caring for stable patients with projected progress, whereas RN will more likely deal with sicker patients. Elementary definitions.
Electro House depends on where you work

A nurse is a caregiver. We give bed baths and do patient hygiene. You have to love caring for the sick in order to be a successful nurse.

Nurse B , is my late 20s too late to pursue my career in nursing ? I know nursing or wanting to pursue nursing can take time out out live like years studying a craft your love & don’t want to feel like man I did more school then being able to enjoy my career. I’m starting later than just coming out of High School, so I shouldn’t feel discouraged of my age of starting late due to making sure I know exactly what I wanted to do right? So should I just follow path to get my healthcare career started altogether

yourfavnurseb hey hun,, just an update I ended up withdrawing from.the PN program at my college and enrolled into the ADN which I'm doing now.. we are taking pharm and fundamentals.. but so far it's going good it's alot of hard work mannnnn ugh😩😩😩 but im.determined to make it through my journey!!!
I really enjoy your videos. I pull a lot of good tips from them. I will be starting my RN journey in 3 weeks. However, I was curious are you/were you a mother during nursing school?
Lee Elias No I was married and working fulltime however, I will be a mommy in nursing school soon! Im trying not to freak out about it.
yourfavnurseb You got this, don't freak out. Just understand that it's only a short time inconvenience, for a long term career/financial benefit. You can do it. I'm starting and I have 5 children and a husband. We got this 💪💪💪👌😘😘😘
You def do gurl, one of my coworkers is single mom of 7 and she went through the same program as me. You're right its possible
Damn in NY its like $27,000. Maybe I should come live in Missouri for a while lol
so pretty!😘 love ur video!
So, I'm wondering...How do you get your prerequisites so you can jump into an accelerated BSN program? Currently, me being a junior in high school and with school wrapping up in June, I will be a senior in no time! :) I know that I want to be a registered nurse, however I want to serve in the military as well. I know that I want to do a bit of schooling before hand such as getting my associates at a community college to become an ASN, RN. Then after some experience, I want to go into an RN to BSN or ASN to BSN program to get my bachelor's in about 2 years. All in all, I have an idea of how I would like to get my education but I wasn't aware of the prerequisites and when I find out, I'll go from there. :)
Bre 03 yea thats really smart to start right after high school. i knew a nurse who dis that and had her bsn by 21. she went straight into a bsn program right after high school. this may be the best option for you, that way they will incorporate your prereqs into the program. plus once youre done you will enter the military as an officer instead of enlisted.
im currently in the airforce reserves and after bmt and tech school i plan on pursuing my nursing degree as well.
! thats awesome gurlie,
I was thinking about getting my BSN and attempting to join the air force as a officer. Who knows it might still happen.
How long till you're done with BMT?
yourfavnurseb i leave January 16th of next year and i graduate from bmt on march 16th. then after that i have tech school which is about a month long. so in total i'll be gone for 4 months. i come back home on may 3rd.
yourfavnurseb right now i attend drill 2days out of each month. i also get paid for drill as well.
your from st louis !? hey girl !!! kansas city mo girl here !
Hey girl! Yes and I'm still in STL.
