My *RAW* Journey Getting into Nursing School ft. tears & reactions
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Well this was the hardest secret to keep from you for a week!! Are you surprised? Because I sure am lol. Today's video shows my nursing journey from when I decided this was the path I wanted to be on, through the highs and lows of applying, testing, getting rejected....oh and the crazy way I found out I got accepted. I have met SO many amazing people along this journey who are on their own journey into the medical field too. These people have kids, are re-taking classes, working multiple jobs, and are still waking up every day working hard towards their dream. They are overcoming unimaginable obstacles and I think about their determination constantly. If you are one of these people, keep being a rockstar. I'm proud of you, own your journey, and saver all the little moments along the way. Love you guys SO crazy much, thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me for this ride...we did it.
xoxo, Kiara

i love how she always said "when I get in, I'll look back and laugh" she never once said "i'll never get in" or "i'll never be a nurse." she never doubted her choices. loved the video!

I got rejected from nursing school just a few weeks ago, and I've been so depressed. Ive been so sad and feeling like. a failure and I've seen so many people graduating and getting in nursing school. Ive literally been praying for a sign and this video has helped me see a little glimmer of light. I know you might not see this but thank you

I got rejected from several schools, it's a major bummer. But I kept at it, finally got into a school after being waitlisted, starting classes tomorrow morning. Don't give up. Keep at it and you WILL get in. It's a lot of rejections and depression, but everything turns around all at once as you as you get in. You got this.

I cried more on this video than when I got accepted myself. I know the feeling so well. I got denied 3 semesters before being waitlisted and I also got picked up from the waitlist. I honestly didn’t have high hopes on the waitlist but it did feel good to not get a flat out rejection. I was in the middle of looking for a job before I got accepted. It was an amazing day or two before it sunk in. Congratulations!

Kiara, I had this exact same experience applying to PhD programs. I got rejected from every program I applied to, and last minute applied to one more and had basically lost all hope and was making plans for a gap year. And then I got in. And somehow it seemed to all work out for the best. I’m so proud of you and all you’ve worked for. And thank you for sharing this with us. Not only is it amazing to witness your journey as a subscriber, but I know it’s going to mean so much to people who find themselves in similar positions. It shows the real side of these processes and I know it will be so appreciated. Congratulations, man. You’re gonna do incredible things :)
I got rejected from all nursing schools when I first applied. I was so lost but I did not want to give up, I decided to go back to school and retake my prereqs so my grades are higher and reapplied. Second time around I got accepted into a accelerated BSN program! It was the most intense, stressful, and nerve wrecking 15 months of my life but it was worth it. I met the most wonderful people and gain some life long friends, learned so much about what it takes to be a nurse. Now I work as a nurse in my dream hospital, what makes an amazing nurse is being resilient, and you are resilient girl! I am so proud of you, don't give up, stay organized, you got this!

Congratulations Kiara!!! So proud of you! Love your content btw! ☺️💖
I was emotional through this whole thing. I applied to 6 grad schools this past year. I was lucky to get the first feed back to be a yes, but everyone after that was a rejection. It’s very discouraging to be rejected because I always wanted to know why. Was it my grades, my essay I don’t know. I didn’t get a another yes until the last school I heard from, and that school was my number 2 school. I was ecstatic! I am proud that you got into nursing school! I know how hard it is because I’ve had several friends try to get in, didn’t get in and give up. You were already ready to try again. Ready to get up again and go for it.
I’m so excited for you Kiara! Congrats! You persevered and it paid off, you’re so deserving of this ❤️
