    Hello! :) I have a question for you. I'm a senior in high school, and I'm planning to go on to school and hopefully eventually I want to become a nurse. Now keep in mind I've had some nursing education through a high school vocational program. Right now I'm trying to decide on where to go with this whole thing. The first question I have for you is: Are LPN's being hired, or are they not hiring them anymore? The reason I'm asking this is because my nursing instructor from last year had told me they are becoming less common, and they aren't being hired anymore. Is this true? Second question: I'm able to do both medical assistant and CNA classes at the same time. Which one of those professions do you think is better for getting your foot in the door? Oh, and also keep in mind that I live in the state of West Virginia. I would be extremely greatful if you could please answer my questions and maybe give me some advice? Thank you! :)

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety +2

      +Levi Collins Great question! They've been saying for years that LPNs will not be hired, etc. They are still needed and hired. I'm not sure about the job market in WV, but you could always scan classifieds to see if there are a lot of job postings for LPNs. Having said that, you'll earn more money (approx. a million more over your career) and have more job opportunities as an RN, and it would only take an extra year or two of school compared to an LPN program. Plus there are lots of scholarships or financial aid available (we have a video on how to scholarships, see below). CNA and MA are both good for getting your foot in the door. CNA may be a bit better experience if you want to do nursing, especially LPN. I hope that helps, and I wish you the best of blessings in your future career.

      RegisteredNurseRN Thank you for the quick answer! May I ask one more question? What would you advise me doing if I want to be a clinical nurse specialist in pediatrics?

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety +2

      Levi Collins CNS is a great career. First, you will need to earn your BSN degree and then work as a registered nurse. I highly recommend going into pediatric nursing and work for at least 2-3 years to learn how to be a peds nurse. Then attend a MSN program to become a pediatric CNS (there are specific clinical nurse specialist programs for pediatrics). Here is a list of current accredited pediatric CNS programs by the AANC: www.aacn.org/wd/certifications/content/aprn-approved-programs-pediatric-cns.pcms?menu=certification
      You can do many of these programs online. I hope that helps :) -Sarah

    i have been watching almost all of urs and ur hubbys videos u guys r dping great, am from ethipian, new immigrants so am looking to go to school to study RN however its going take much yrs so i need ur advice should i begine by LPN or what i need ur help really u guys inspire me a lote also how much money i
    does it cost me just hit me wz some out lines tnx,

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety +2

      Hi Lulit :) Thanks for watching our videos and for your kind words. I suggest looking area in the area you live for nursing programs (both LPN and RN) and then compare the costs. Also, in order to apply to programs here in the US you will have to provide proof that you completed a high school education in your other country and you may have to pass an English proficiency exam. I would contact the nursing school's program for specific details (because every school is different).
      I have several videos that can help you decide on a few things. The first video I suggest you look at is the difference between the LPN and RN (their scope of practice is different and the pay rate): czcams.com/video/tSwannzyJCE/video.html
      If you decide to become a LPN here is a video on how to become one, the educational requirements, work settings, and pay: czcams.com/video/RdcL6qXUkK8/video.html
      If you decide to become a RN you will need to decide if you want to earn an ADN or BSN degree (the adn is shorter to earn and may cost less depending on the program). Here are the differences between the ADN vs BSN degree: czcams.com/video/n2qAT7BQFwY/video.html
      Also, you will want to make sure you are picking a good school. The costs of programs varies widely anywhere from $20,000-$80,000 or more (plus costs of books etc). Here is a video on how to select a nursing school: czcams.com/video/HqSqsP2fU-E/video.html
      You want to always apply for financial aid or scholarships and we have a video on how to do this: czcams.com/video/WRjXISYU3Fs/video.html
      I hope that helps get you started and I wish you the best :)

  • @clarity7061
    @clarity7061 Před 8 lety +9

    I m still not sure if nursing is for me. what worry me are the long shifts and emotional and physical strains...how is it for a female nurse? is it even possible to have a healthy family relationship after a 12hr shift at night ? any help? thanks

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety +10

      This is a great question and something you definitely want to evaluate personally before you decide to be a nurse. Being a nurse can be very hard (emotionally and physically) and there will be great days and some not so great days. However, this is present in almost every job. Most nurses are able to deal with the strains of nursing because they are driven to care for others and are passionate about their job. For example...its like parenting...parenting is very hard and tiring but you keep doing it because you love your children. Working night shift with a family is difficult because you are on an opposite schedule as your loved ones and mostly people who work the night shift (this does not apply to all) are single or people who have grown children. However, there are many day shift positions available and not all nursing jobs are 12 hour shifts. I highly encourage you try to shadow a nurse for 12 hours before you decide to become one to make sure it is for you. I hope that helps and best wishes :)

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety +2

      Of course I'm slanted towards nursing because I'm a nurse, but I recommend that you try to shadow a nurse at a hospital and see if you could see yourself doing that type of work...if so pursue it. I would definitely ask others how they like their job and try to shadow them. I have a video that I made that talks about a typical day for a nurse that works at a hospital: czcams.com/video/9sW-9m5rV2s/video.html&lc=z13lu11rlozfwjrpx04cht4omqutvhsb43kIt may help give you an idea.

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety

      +Tuyen Thanh Thanks for your question, Tuyen. In order, to get your ADN, you must have a high school diploma or G.E.D. Then after that you will apply to a nursing program that offers the ADN degree. After you graduate from the nursing program you will then take a state board exam called the NCLEX. This is a licensing exam that allows you to work as a registered nurse.

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety +1

      +Tuyen Thanh Yes, after you complete high school or have your G.E.D., all you have to do is go two years for an A.D.N. degree through a nursing program...take the NCLEX and then you are a RN. After that you will be able to work as one. There are two routes of becoming a RN..through either the BSN or ADN programs. I hope that helps :)
      -Sarah

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety

      +Tuyen Thanh Yes, you can skip being a nursing assistant and go straight to becoming a LPN. The requirements to be a LPN are that you must have your high school diploma and complete a year program through a LPN program. Then you will take the state board exam called the NCLEX-PN. LPN and RNs are different, but you don't have to be a nursing assistant first in order to be a LPN or even a RN. I hope that helps :)

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety +3

      +reem Abdallah An ICU nurse works at the beside of patients who are very, very ill and need continuous monitoring. They perform some of the most advanced procedures/treatments. An operating room nurse (OR nurse) works with a team of other healthcare professionals during surgery. Yes, you can become both of them. Typically, a person will get a job working in an ICU for couple of year, and then transfer to the OR (if they have the desire to work as an OR nurse)....or vice versa. You will receive on-the-job training in both professions. Hope that helps :)

    • @aylan.6212
      @aylan.6212 Před 4 lety

      Hi, it depends on your situation. If you want to get entry into the nursing field the fastest, then do that. You will begin to gather experience, but would also recommend when you are working as an LPN, do your prerequisite classes for RN program, then do LPN to RN bridge.
      I have been an LPN for 18 years, and will be graduating in May as an RN.I became an LPN because my daughter was very young and I could not wait for all prerequisites to be done, had to get going quickly as possible. The LPN program was 18 mos, nights and weekends. Day program may be 12 mos. Hope this helps!

    How do you become a nurse practitioner

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety +3

      +Kathya Torres ✿ Hi Kathya :) You first have to become a registered nurse with a BSN degree by passing the NCLEX-RN exam Then work as a nurse to gain experience (not required but recommended) and then apply to a graduate nursing program with a NP program (takes about 2 years to complete). After you graduate from NP school you will have to take your board exam and then you are a NP. It will take approximately 4 years to get your BSN and 2 years to get your NP.
      There are many different types of NPs...so you will need to decide what you want to study. Here is a compilation of videos about different types of NPs and their salaries/job requirements. czcams.com/users/RegisteredNurseRNsearch?query=practitioner

    • @RegisteredNurseRN
      @RegisteredNurseRN  Před 8 lety +2

      +Arci Heart Great question, Arci. The AACN & NCSBN recommended that nursing schools eliminate master's programs and have only doctorate programs by 2015, and some schools have begun to implement that change. However, it isn't a REQUIREMENT for all schools until 2025. So, you can still become a nurse practitioner with a master's degree in most locations, but not after 2025 (then it will be doctorate). The same is true for all advance practice RNs. Thanks again! -Ben

      +ORI RA In order to become a LPN, you must apply to a program that offers it. Every LPN program is different in what they require for admission. For instances, not all require you to be a CNA prior to admission but some may. It typically takes 1 year to complete. You will need to high school diploma and possibly complete a CPR class and possible an entrance exam (which is whatever the program requires). I highly recommend you phone a program in your area where you live and speak with someone about the exact requirements. Here is a video that goes into depth about LPNs (salary, job requirements etc). czcams.com/video/RdcL6qXUkK8/video.html
      I wish you the best!

      Thank you so much for your message. I just get my GED. I have CPR and First aid I got them by online study. I'm mom of little children, I'm not young, I'm 42 years old. I'm scared because I'm getting older and what to do in my life and thinking about my little children ,only my husband works as simple employee.. and I'm scared about payment coverage of my education . I live in Skokie, IL. The only thing my husband told me he can only try to help me for public transportation as bus or train. The Community College where I live they don't have LPN, they have only ADN RN. When I asked many Community college out of my district in Illinois, they told me I will not get help coverage benefit because I don't live in Chicago in same their district. I'm really feel lost what to do. I speak read, write : French, Arabic, and English. Any advices I will appreciate it. Thank you so much.
