Ha, the joke was on nursing school. I already didn't get much sleep, I already ate ramen most days (love it) and I didn't have anything close to a significant other! I got through and did pretty well. I couldn't do much with my friends because of Saturday clinicals but the sacrifice was necessary and temporary.

I love nursing so much; it's challenging but knowing deep in your heart that you're living your puporse makes the journey worth while. Make sure you don't let a day pass by without reading that will enhance your knowledge as a nurse. We must be able to provide a thorough information to our clients as well as to their family. Absorb everything you can and enjoy! Don't be shy and grab every opportunity you can when you're on the floor. Remember it's for your own gain. Good luck and God bless. Thanks for reaching out.

Genesis Rivas Thank you so much! I'm glad it came across the right way.

Time management is the key to success in nursing school. I think that for those who have a difficult time with time management or is not their skill are the ones who are going to struggle more. Nursing school is hard in the sense that you really need to use critical thinking and learn how to analyze and how to apply it. My personal experience, time management was my weakness, three weeks before the end of my second part of my first semester, Nursing 1, my teacher failed me. I had a difficult time to finish my weekly paperwork that was due, complete holistic assessment, MDS (medication data sheet) X 2, NCP (nursing care plan) X 3, my data collection x 2, pathophysiology data sheet x 2, all this for one week of pt. care. Yes, it was a lot but my lack of time management caused my unsatisfactory grade in clinical. Depending on your school program, you may have a lot of paperwork or maybe not much. Now I have to refocus myself and work on my time management skills, not mentioning that I am a very organized person but you can get caught in time wasting and there you go. This is serious you will be dealing with people's lives and is no joke, take it seriously and be determine and you will be successful. Never give up! You should be very proud of yourself as well as your wife. Good luck in your next semester for your other half of nursing 2.

When I was choosing my school of choice, I went straight to the website of the state where I am in, and look for the school that they give their accreditation. Good thing that my school has been accredited. Some school have provisional and full approval. If you get your RN ( license ) already, I don't know why the hospital won't accept you. Because, in my state in order to be ELIGIBLE to sit down for an NCLEX-RN EXAM, the school has to be approved, if you took ur license ( NCLEX_RN) exam, shouln't that mean that your school has been accredited? I was just wondering, because like I mention, in the state of NEVADA ( prolly in your area is different) TO BE ELIGIBLE TO SIT down for an NCLEX, the school has to be accredited. It doesn't matter if the school is one of the top list, as long as you pass, you graduate, and pass your NCLEX, hospital here hire you.. My friend recently graduated and got her RN, she works at a hospital now..

Buddy your vlogs are so real and motivational thanks for being honest

Today I finished my first week of my first year of nursing school and I'm like a little ball of stress. Today I failed a test, it's the first test I've failed, like ever, in my whole life. I wanted to start to cry but I tried to put it in perspective because almost everyone else failed and when you talk to the second year students most of them failed their first DA test as well. Honestly too, I only missed a question and it wasn't math related so I got the hard parts. So I retake it next friday. I've cried twice this week just because I felt overwhelmed. Someone who I vented to this week shared your video with me. I went into it knowing it was hard, of course, that's all you hear. In fact I've been told I'm going to come out of it divorced. So, like being worried it was hard and my kids were going to be neglected may have seemed like enough but to hear I might be divorced, well great, throw that on the load. I just like the it's do-able part, that's what I need to hear it's do-able! I've got a mountain of homework I'm just taking a break because I was told every 30 minutes or so walk away, so I do, and I just wanted to leave a comment. Thanks for making it a point to say it's do-able!

+Tanya Bowers That's really awesome that a friend of yours shared my video with you. I'm glad that it was at least encouraging in some manner. Let me just say that whoever told you that you are going to come out of the program divorced is wrong for saying that to you. Sure, it miiiiiiiiiiight put a slight strain on a marriage, but that's wrong for somebody to say that to you. Don't let that sort of nonsense pick at your emotions. Sure, the kids might be neglected every now and then (the whole fend for themselves thing [depending on their age]) but that's alright. Like I always say, it's this extremely short period of sacrifice (2 years flies by so quick it's ridiculous) and then the reward of a fruitful career with endless opportunities awaits. If you have been, don't beat yourself up over crying twice. The first like, 2 to 4 weeks is extremelyyyyyyyyyyy overwhelming for EVERYONE. The waters settle down after a couple of weeks though and things get to normal. Keep me updated and if you feel the need to vent or talk, feel free to email me at nursebass0831@gmail.com :-)

Evelyn Marshall Yea, I want to say that this is very normal. We're human. We aren't superman and superwoman who can cook for the kids, get them to school, go to work, study for classes, knock out homework and exams, and still come home and NOT be at least a little bit overwhelmed. Often times, this particular journey can feel very lonely, I know that much. But the 'age factor' you were referring to, I think will play an advantage in your favor; at least in regards to your concerns. That's one of the beautiful things about Nursing School, there is a diverse range of age groups and backgrounds of people. In my class, we have single parents, people working full time, people with large families to support. So it is sort of nice in the sense that you won't be alone. You'll have somebody else to talk to about those kinds of things, and bounce your feelings off of. They say, especially in Nursing School, that nobody in your personal life at home is going to exactly understand what you're going through in school, but your fellow Nursing Students will. And that's one of the major reasons why Nursing School graduating classes are so tight-knit. =)

Even tho I have a bachelors in computer science, and still actively in the military, I am considering doing nursing because of my passion for helping others. Might go all the way for the bachelor RN.

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm seriously considering nursing school. I'm currently studying pharmacy, but a bit worried about its prospects in the future, whereas nursing seems to be doing very well. I often questioned if I would be a good nurse, and according to the RNs I work with, they think I'd be a very good in the field. Of course they might just be recruiting lol My question to you is this: as far as coursework in nursing school goes, which have been the most challenging? Or what has been the most challenging aspect of nursing? There is an ADN program near where I live that has a good rep, and they're prereqs involve AP 1 and 2, plus micro, and I'm seriously tempted to look into it further.

+MatchaCUB Well yes, Nursing as a profession is really booming right now and depending on where you live, Nurses are in high demand. The most challenging things for me in Nursing School so far have been the vast workload that is on our shoulders, and transitioning into the mind of a Nurse. It's very difficult to transition from pre-req courses and studying the material in a "memorizing" sort of fashion to Nursing courses where you really have to develop critical thinking. You're no longer just memorizing the anatomy or the physiology of the body's processes, but you're really taking all of that knowledge and applying it to scenarios and diving even deeper into the pathophysiology of various disease processes and patient presentations based on those diseases. It's very interesting, but takes time to get used to. But good luck and I would definitely recommend at least looking into it! :D

I failed nursing school 2 years ago and I'm about to embark on another attempt, but this time I'm going to be much more prepared. Your videos are very inspiring and I have a feeling I'll be watching them quite often for the next 2 years. Great job!

Can I ask in what way you failed? Classes ? Was it because it was too hard or because you weren’t managing you time? I am about to start nursing school and I need all the tips. I noticed you wrote this comment 6 years ago so did you end up finishing? Sorry for all the questions. I am nervous myself 😅

@Gal family I failed for a few reasons. I didn't put in the effort to study. One of my teachers told me that I relied too much on my ability to learn in class, which is true. I thought I was smart enough to not need to study. Another reason was that I didn't really know how to study. I wasn't an organized studier. I was all over the place. I basically had to learn how to study all over again. I did finish the program, thx to study groups and amazing people like Nurse Bass who took their time to educate and explain things differently. I've been a nurse for 4 years now, and it's been a wild ride. Especially through a pandemic! I got tired of the acute setting pretty quickly and found a love for the rehab unit. I don't think I'll be going back to acute any time in the future. Actually, I see myself getting into IV infusions. Congrats on getting into a program! Make nursing school your priority, and you'll succeed. Watch plenty of videos and ask all of the questions. And of course, keep watching Nurse Bass!

@@jeremysperling483 thank you so much for responding! I really appreciate it, and congrats! You definitely deserve it! I know I don’t know you but I am proud of you:) best wishes to you

this is awesome I am applying for the Fall 2016 semester but knocked out so many classes with high grades A&P 1-2 and micro, and just finishing up my CNA course figured it would look good getting my foot in the door... one thing that gets to me is the public speaking how much have you done of that?

+Andre Costa Good luck in your application process! I've done a little bit of public speaking in the past. As a requirement of our Nursing program, we pretty much have to do a presentation every single semester in front of the class. But it isn't too bad. It gets better with practice.

Well said Nurse Bass nursing school take a lot of sacrifice but it IS doable ....Thanks for the motivation

Can you talk more in depth about the lack of sleep aspect? I'm interested in going to nursing school but I don't have kids or a significant other, I'm good at managing my time for schoolwork, and can survive on quick cheap food. But I need my sleep to function well. Elaborate please.

I've been LPN for close to 26 years. People have asked me multiple times " Haven't you ever wanted to go back to school to get your RN"? I'll usually say" No. I really don't feel like putting myself through all that torture.".

+Noon Mohamed Those who aren't driven, don't like science or people, those who are complacent with mediocrity, and those who lack compassion and empathy. Lol, that about sums it up. Just do what your heart tells you my friend!

Hey any good tips for studying microbio? My class is starting this semester and i only have a B+ in a and P and an A in english i still need fundamentals of nursing and chem.

Please please please do a video on how you tackle the nursing reading assignments. I got my first weeks reading assignment and its nine chapters.. Do you read the whole thing? And how do you make the material stick in your brain! Please show examples of you can!

That's a good one! I know nurse Nacole has a video on how she reads. For example she reads the first sentence and last sentence of a paragraph and any bold or italic works and sentences and studies the diagrams and graphs. :)

Anita Tambat I think you may have asked this in another video. I tried to respond to it, but maybe it didn't go through. I've heard of a bunch of programs who require students to read large amount texts before class or before school starts. But my program hasn't done that yet. We haven't been required to read 5 chapters by the start of class or anything like that. We are sort of just expected to know the information and to get it from notes and books, etc. But for that information, I definitely recommend what jordansmom143 said below about Nurse Nacole's video. Also, Rachel P has a video on how she studies. It is also helpful! I hope it helps!

Nursing sucks. I recorded a video my FIRST week of nursing school a few weeks before I dropped out. Uploaded it on my channel. Now fast forward to three years later I'm a travel nurse. Crazy

On vacation from Work for a week meant Grind Grind Grind on the Studying

Hey Nurse Bass., any tips on how to study for fluids and electrolytes..its kinda confusing..i get the acid base part just mastering the s/s of the imbalances..Thank you.

+Rhoda Wanjiru I am actually going to need to do a video for this topic because you are probably the 4th person to request it now lol. It can be tricky, but it can be done! :D

Thats not what some nurses say but we'll see when I start. Wish me luck;)

Everyone apply to nursing school so I guess everyone wants it though but someone said not everyone can’t be a RN ._. So scary. I really love nursing soooo much. So challenging though.

i currently work in a hospital along side nurses and i want to go back to school for nursing, but im scared im not smart enough. im going to sacrifice and try anyways. i hope it works out. i have always loved school but math and science has always been a struggle for me. im better with reading and writing.

Yeymi Diaz Nursing school can be hard if you allow it to be. You don’t have to be “smart” to succeed in nursing school. Trust me I’m not a genius by any means I struggled in some of my science classes ended dropping A&P first time I took it. It took me 3 times to finally get accepted in nursing school (lpn). My advice the minute you get your books and that instructor gives you the syllabus on the class, start studying ahead right away. I did that every opportunity I got whether it was at work or during a long school break etc., so when it grows near test time your studying stress will not be such a burden. I tell my friends who ask me is nursing school hard? I tell them all the time it can be hard if you allow it to be. If you study ahead, put the time into it on assignments ahead of due date, and balance out your time nursing school is doable.

What's your specialty? I'm almost done with school and I want to specialize, but I'm not sure what
