I started nursing school ten years ago. I didn’t do well for many reasons, I was a single mom with little support and no money and I was going through a very difficult break up. I let my personal life interfere with my goals. I also attended a program that required a very high mark to progress in the program (82%) At the time, I convinced myself that nursing wasn’t for me but in hindsight and as an older more experienced adult I realized my situation wasn’t conducive to being successful at any project. After a few years, I decided to give nursing another try. I completed an LPN program first because I was scared of not doing well in an RN program again. I loved it and loved working as an LPN! Last year I applied to a bridge program and with God’s help, I’ll be graduating in May with my RN! Don’t ever give up on your dreams! Thank you for your videos 😊

Getting accepted at a community college nursing program is like survival of the fittest! It’s extremely competitive because they have limited seats. In mine, only 50 students can get in per semester. Last semester only 22 graduated. 100% NCLEX passing rate.

i totally didnt know it at the time, but I found out that the community college i applied/go to had the most competitive Nursing program out of all the colleges in my university. Community college is no joke. Glad to hear you had the drive to not give up! <3

Honestly, getting into nursing school is PURE luck. You could have a 4.0 and hundreds of volunteer hours and still not make it until you’re 3rd time. That’s exactly what my school said. Pure luck. But still try hard obviously but also pray or do whatever you can, manifest wtv.

Getting rejected by two nursing schools with a 3.97 gpa. Now waiting for my third school. I hope they won’t turn me down

Just got rejected an hr ago lol! This feeling sucks

Just got my second rejection letter today.. This video gives me hope to keep going. Thank you for sharing

"I was screaming in my cul de sac" is my favorite thing you've ever said haha!

some schools prioritize grades and others prioritize experience.

Dropping statistic is so real 😅

I’m ready to just give up. Healthcare is impossible at time. If been in this field for 24 years and this is the most defeated I’ve ever felt.

I had a 3.4-3.5 with no health care experience at all and I got in on my first try. It’s possible 😊. Also community college will be more affordable than a big university.

I want to cry... im failing pediatrics right now. I did great in all my med surg classes, but I'm doing horrible in peds 😭🤯😭🤯😭🤯

Please pick your professors wisely. You could be very smart and study as much as you want. But if the professor is bad at teaching. It’s going to be difficult to pass.

Never give up! I’m a 15 yr cancer survivor who has seen too much 😆 & understand how important caring & compassionate individuals are! Even my oncology social worker who gave me fuel cards that were donations, was a great asset to healthcare. Medical receptionists, we love you! You take our stressed out calls as we attempt to get our results from nurses. I went to JCCC…Johnson County Community College (KC) & CCM…County College of Morris (NJ) for some nursing pre-reqs & they were excellent community colleges. I agree w/ just getting your foot in the door! In HS, I was a traypasser in food service at a hospital. So 10 yrs later, when getting a nurse asst job at Morristown Memorial in Ortho Surgical wing, I was immediately comfortable w/ walking into the hospital room to cheer up the patient & take vitals. I couldn’t continue college due to IBS & un-dx anemia, all pre-colon cancer. I was then unable to go back to any associates degree due to CIPN (chemo induced PN). So we need YOU! Please never give up! ❤

I failed nursing school twice but thanks to perseverance and resilience I made it through on the 3rd attempt. God is good.

I was up against 1000's of other students and had a 3.8 GPA.  This was in California.  I moved to a small town in AZ and got in because there is no competition.  Everyone gets in.  I own a large house for way less than renting in los angeles.  If you move to a small town, you will get in and become a nurse in a couples and then you can move anywhere you want.

Rejection is Gods protection

Man I got rejects two times last year . I cry lot and I apply again this semesters

I have mad respect for nurses
