I'm a 53 yr old CNA and I've finally decided to go nursing school. I've always enjoyed being a CNA, but in the past few years, it's been really hard to make a living. I feel like it's a little too late for me to become a nurse, but there is such a shortage and I also want to upgrade my living situation.

How did it go?

I've just been accepted to nursing school in Oklahoma City, to start January 2021! I'm 33 years old, a wife and mom and am getting really nervous about nursing school!! Our daughter is 10 years old and has a rare genetic disorder that causes epilepsy. She's g-tube dependent, wheelchair-bound, non-verbal but communicates with her eye gaze device. She's a princess girl and 100,000% the reason I want to be a nurse. I can be paid to be her in-home nurse for 40-hours a week, which is stellar! But also, we have had so very many doctor appointments in clinics and unfortunately many inpatient stays - when I see those nurses taking care of my girl I think "I want to do that for others, too!". Thank you so much for your nursing school content! I learn best with videos and note taking so I really hope my school is not book-driven learning! haha!

Thank you so much for making this video. You're right, I have been through so much and I have survived. I can do this. As a 40 year old single mother who has been caregiving for my own mom and spending lots of time in the hospital over the last 10 years, I have had the burning desire to be a nurse for years. I have also talked myself in and out of it, dropping out of prerequisites because I thought it was going to be too much and ruin my relationship with my now twelve-year-old son. It's videos like this that help to remind me that I have what it takes an I can accept the challenge humbly. I have survived so many other things. I can do this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you

After that, take the NCLEX exam during the third summer. Then I will get my BSN in my final year. I'm very glad I got accepted into this program because it's about 40k to get my BSN. The program is very rigorous though. After that, I'm planning to get my NP and hopefully work at the hospice center. Wish me luck!

Definitely will be so worth it! Congrats on your acceptance to your program! You'll do great!

Thank you so much for this because I have been freaking out about "not being prepared." When you said "relax," as dramatic as it sounds, I nearly cried because it's so hard to know what to do/how to be productive/wise! 💛💛

I start nursing school in August 2020. Im in anatomy and physiology now taking the pre req before nursing school. Thank you for the video!

This is literally the best advice I could have been given. Thank you so much 💓

Love this!!😭 I start an ASN program this fall and I've had so much anxiety with people telling me it's going to be so hard and I'm about to have no life and I'm going to be eating, sleeping, and breathing school.... This video definitely helped calm some nerves!

Same! We got this though !

i've been in the medical field for about 7 years already, mostly on the clerical side, and now i work as a porter. when i graduated high school i wanted to become a nurse but my mental health took a turn and looking back i honestly would not have survived nursing school and all the challenges. now that i'm 27 i truly feel ready to take the plunge! thanks for making this video, it's made me quite excited to get started.

I'm glad you were able to make the best decision for your mental health! You're gonna do awesome!

Nurse Liz. Thank you for this inspirational video. I am taking all my prerequisite right now and once I am done, I will be registering into a nursing school. You have inspired me to keep going and take it one day at a time.

Thank you! I needed this! Getting ready to enter school and seriously terrified and yes from things you said in the beginning.

Congratulations on your acceptance! You will do great!

I'm starting BSN in Fall 2019 as an international student. I am not so much familiar with rules and regulations here in the US and have heard a few stories from other people about how they had to face racism in clinical for not having English as their first language. Also, I have a habit of studying at Night from a very young age. I am terrified and excited at the same time. I am grateful for the heads up you have given, now I am gonna try to change my habits before I start Nursing School. Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm 52 years old and fixing to enter the nursing program in the fall. I realize as an older student nurse it'll be harder for me, but I have learned from the years behind that many that are younger hasn't yet. I appreciate you!

I am 36 year old and wanted to be a nurse since I was 18, but after hearing everyone say they struggled I didn’t think I could swing it. I’m finally deciding that even if I fail, at least I tried. Thank you for this information. It was very helpful!

I'll be 36 in a few weeks and in the same boat! I'm still confused on where to start since there are so many options, but I'm starting to feel like I can do this. And so can you!

I am starting my nursing program next month and I am beyond nervous. This video helped put my mind at ease! I can't wait for this experience.

Whelp..I am a 42y/o guy about retire from the Air Force after 22 years. Spent the entire time as a Firefighter. I started down the road to nursing school 20 years ago, but things kept getting in the way. Now, since I am retiring nothing else will get in the way. I start clinicals on 19 Aug 19 and I am so excited. Thanks for uploading all your videos, I like seeing the videos from a "more experienced" individual that the others that are from fresh outta high school and straight into college.

Daniel morris congrats on the retirement! My hubby will retire from the AF in a couple years, so I’m starting nursing school to help that transition. I also started this road right out of high school, but PCSing always got in the way. Now’s the time!! Good luck to you!

Love your video! Started a LPN program last week, I’ll worry about an RN bridge program later, lol. I’ve been a Med Asst for 10 years, began prerequisites for pre-nursing 2x! Mother of 2, working full time, & I couldn’t pull it off with the regard to credits & financial aid. I didn’t want to overwhelm myself with school work just to get more aid & assistance, being that I was already working 12hr overnight shifts… So 3rd time is a charm! Wish me luck with school and also during this pandemic! 😷 Stay safe, stay healthy & keep being the amazing human that you are Liz!
