I know Lpn’s making 60 an hour I would have laughed at them!

I am 40 and I've been an LVN for 1 year, and starting my ADN program in 10 days!!!!!!!😎 I am so excited because age is literally just a number!! Blessings to all that are starting this journey, at any age it is never easy, but at this age, I feel like "life experience" is in our favor 🙏🏽

School nurses have to handle all sorts of situations. You’re going to have special needs kids to care for; kids with severe mental and physical disabilities, and dealing with angry parents upset they’re gonna need to pick their kid up from the schoolhouse isn’t a fun task either. Let’s not forget you might be the only nurse maintaining vaccination status records for school administration also. You got hundreds of kids who have medications they take during set times. Some of these kids won’t report to you to take their meds and you’ll have to send reminders to their classrooms to get them to comply with medication. And that’s not even the half of it. You’re also going to have young female teenage students having their period or having STI’s that haven’t been properly diagnosed; teen pregnancies, in school sex assaults and other crimes or incidents like that to deal with… yet most these things will be an automatic trip to the ER, but you could be that first person they report to. If you’re thinking a school nurse job will always be cake you’re highly mistaken, and the pay is usually extremely shitty, even if you’re getting the summers and holidays off.

Worked in hospital setting for first 13 years of my career, and I’ll never go back to it no matter how much they pay.

I'm seeking Night Shift RN jobs.. Just sayin' 😁

You have a great aura!

Nurses who acts too comfortable & can’t control emotions shouldn’t be a nurse tbh. These people are dangerous

Can a LPN work a Baylor shift, or is it just for RNs?

I just took the PN Nclex this morning and stop at 85 now waiting for my quick results in 48 hours.

I dig your well researched and common sense insights!

I have done a PhD in Philosophy from India and I’m moving to Canada as a Permanent Resident. I’m not sure if my foreign PhD can fetch me a job in the Canadian market so I thought of doing an accelerated nursing degree. Should I choose a ABSN or MSN? Please suggest me 🙏🏽

Helpful video. Between icu and psych which one do u enjoy more?

I’m 31… but my biggest fear is that I’m not good at all in math….but I really love the nursering I hope I can pass

$12 /hr doesn't sound right !!! nah!!!

There are only five states in which a LPN can bypass a nursing program to become an RN… Pennsylvania, Missouri, Hawaii, Georgia, and Florida are the ONLY states.

Please what is the work or duties of healthcare support worker within ICU

I am devastated I didn't pass the Hesi B. I did pass Hesi A but i couldn't pass the second exam. I am in tears.

I’m so nervous to be an ER nurse as a new grad. 😢

12 hour shifts suck. No matter how you look at it, the bodies circadian rhythm is thrown off by sacrificing working nights. If you have to go in at 5am til 5:30pm, depending how far your commute, you're technically up 14 hours. When you rotate and have to work 5:00pm to 5:30 am, its the same but your circadian rhythm makes it difficult to sleep during the daylight hours. Hence you're up 24 hours when you're on the 5:30 pm shift. Pay close attention to the physicality of the workers. They most of the time look worn out and restless because they are. My opinion 12 hour shifts benefit companies and your productive life gets the sacrifice especially if you're not accumulating sick time because rotating 12 hour shifts will definitely wear you down over a short period of time.

A good preceptor is a great tip. At my facility 90% of ED nurses are newer/new grads and they are learning so many bad habits from other newer nurse preceptors.

Yes it's worth it..has been for decades. I'm not an RN but nursing assistant and I have to turn down work.

It’s not 2 business days. They actually tell you 48 hours so you can get your results on weekends. I just took my NCLEX this past Thursday

Thank you for the inspiration !

My H.O.D want me to shave up. I can understand that as a student but she insist that male nurse should not have beards.

43 is too old 😌

Mine shuts down at 85 questions and I was well in time.

Thank you for this ❤❤❤

Thanks for this. I just accepted a salary position as supervisor in a warehouse with 3x12 hour shift schedule 6pm-6am Tues, Wed, Thurs. excited for the work life balance, but 3 12s in a row sounds scary!

Thanks for the information. I start nursing school this fall ❤ I'm super nervous but grateful 🙏

I’m 36 I have little kids. I always drag my feet of going back to school particularly LVN because I’m not comfortable being around with younger students and I’m so busy taking care of my kids and family. I’m planning to start my pre-requisites this coming fall and see if nursing is what I wanted. I thought about to wait till I am 40 when my kids go to school. But I don’t wanna wait that long my memory is not as sharp and good now. I want to have a stable job by the time I am 40. Thank you for this informative and inspirational video. I’m your new subscriber. ☺️

Thanks for another awesome video.

You said there's a big difference between patient population and the number of patients. What do you mean?

Thank you! I am working on my final semester of the nursing school and a bit nervous for the new role. :)

Time waste black

1st shift has more work.

Thank you for the information! I have been a corporate HR manager for years and at 58 I will be starting nursing program in September 😊

FINALLY. Nursing school from someone that has a similar background as I do!!

What advice do you have for someone who left nursing for over 12 years and wants to return back?

Thanks for the information. I'm 53 and I will be starting the nursing program soon. I was considering becoming private duty nurse. Thanks again for letting us know about other options.

I passed my boards at the beginning of the month. I'm 38 and I'm starting on the psych unit tomorrow!! Thanks for your content.

Your advice is priceless . Thank you

Informative video. Thank you. I had 2-3 queries related to ABSN / MSN degrees. Can u please tell me your Instagram/Facebook ID so that I can get in touch with you? Thank you 😊

I worked as a LPN in a N.J. hospital for 14 years. LPN's do work in New Jersey hospital

Nice video please can you tell me some mental health certifications I can acquire before getting a degree

I am in CNA Training right now. I take the test on 8/8. I had my first 3-day clinical last week, and every day was a red flag. 1 day, people called in, Day 2 - A girl showed up to work crying, and oh yeah, people called in, and 3) Someone asked me if I was pregnant because of my weight. To make it worse it was my Transgendered Cousin (no joke) and she would not stop.

If I had a choice in my full-time work schedule, my number-1 pick would be 12-hour shifts (4 on/4 off). Most people would say that 12-hour shifts are pretty long (and I may agree with that, at least compared to your typical 9-5 job). But, at least I’m only working half the days. By the time you get through your 4 consecutive work days, your 4 consecutive “off” days may feel like a vacation all its own. You could easily take a weekend getaway without even touching your vacation time!

Thank you for the video I'm 50 years old live in El Cajon I want to become a nurse Please advise what / where to start ?

Thank you so much for breaking this down so clearly. I appreciate it!!

He is telling the whole truth you can't get time back

You are never to old to learn
