You are SO right about nursing school being all over the place. wow. I was shocked by how unprofessional our instructors carried themselves.. and some of them have such hostile vibes you wonder if they even like their job in the first place? Are they secretly hating on young, aspiring nurses? Would love to hear your take. You are a gem and have such a beautiful light about you, best of luck on your journey to becoming RN. I'll be right there along with you.
I graduated lpn to Rn last December and I didn’t learn nothing new in the bridge program 🤷🏽♀️ I already knew about blood products and PICC lines as a lpn. I feel like it’s a scam to get ppl money 🤣I could just practice NCLEX style questions and get my RN. Now I’m a RN and I’m like really I wish LPNs could test for the NCLEX-RN and skip school.
It is. Honestly, that's how most college programs are. A university is a business first and a school second. Why you think they got all these core courses they want you to complete.
I'm not a nurse but I have been following your channel for a long time and I just wanted to say that I am so happy for you. You are a great nurse 😘 congratulations on being accepted into RN school..
So I've been a LPN almost 5 mnths I work in a hospital and have no clue how nursing home is ran. I'm starting to take prerequisites for the RN bridge course. I thought about going to STLCC because I live close to one of thier campuses. until they told me they switch the campus they do the bridge at each yr. I'm debating on how many prerequisites to take at once. Should I try to get it over with or just go slow make sure I'm not overwhelmed. Because I rushed through with the LPN. Also took phyc and communication between culture before getting into LPN school because I though I was going to go straight for my RN then midway decided to switch and just do LPN 1st.
I would say start with 2 classes and see how that goes then decide how you want to proceed. Start with a math and/ or science course because those take a while to get done because they usually are prereqs to other science and math courses. You can also sit down and plan how long it will take you depending on how many classes you take and a time. You also have to consider costs of courses and books and your budget when planning how many you will take in a semester. Good luck, keep me updated
I hated nursing school and now I am in the RN to BSN program is worst with the busy work. When will we get a break they want us to have all this education for jobs that pay $20-30 An hour.
I wonder if they are saying “you’re already a nurse, you should know this” because you are still in the first semester so it’s mainly covering fundamentals or the basics of nursing. As you progress and get deeper in disease pathos, they should be giving y’all more details! Look forward to your videos along your journey☺️
LOL!!! My LPN to RN program was GETTO as well !!!! Yes I do notice that there are few African American RN 's in my hospital. Good luck on your journey!!!
I’ve never worked in a nursing home, but I can definitely see where you would have to change your way of thinking. I purchased the Cathy Parks Level Up RN cards to study; I have seen great reviews about them. Hopefully they will be very helpful.
I am cracking up over here. I will graduate from my BSN program in May. I am currently doing my preceptorship in the ED. Let me say this, You will still be talking to people the same way. My first lesson was DO NOT go in catering to patients. If you do they will have you running back and forth to the room. I sit and listen to call bells for 5-10 minutes sometimes. The nurses are very busy and some patients just want attention. I also learned that the purpose of the ED is to make sure the patient won't die today. That's it! Our hospitals have an OB ED, so they are not with the general ED population. Oh, and they rotate areas of the ED so you will end up with psych patients. I love it! Psych was my major before I decided to do nursing. Get ready for the ride!
I’m definitely going to have to find my new voice/approach because you are right they will treat you like a hotel concierge, mama, chef and counselor if you let them
Some RN's graduate and go to medical billing and coding,pharm etc.. Some skills you don't do like IV's,you were in the right telling them to teach,so proud of you NurseB,how's little momma doing?
Typically, at least with Cerner charting, labs are orange if they’re high, blue if their low and red if they’re critical. And you can left click or hover for ranges. Labs get easier as you work, because you’ll be these labs everyday all day! You’ll be a great nurse!
Thank you so much for stating the facts about nursing school it’s extremely unprofessional the instructors are disrespectful towards the students and nasty for no reason!!
They told us the complete opposite. I was told to stop thinking like an LPN. We learned ALOT in my program. On top of all the papers I had to write ( not typical for an ADN program). But it prepared me for my BSN program
U helped encouraging me to be with an agency. I'm here now and not loyal to any job. I go where the money is and that's that lol. No politics no getting involved in the facility drama and they hate it😄
You’re doing great girl. Can you share with us how you manage your time? I have two jobs and taking 3 classes. I’m overwhelmed and I don’t have time for myself. I wish I could have a tea with you🥰. I live in St. Charles
Thank you for doing this video. I think it is very unfair for instructors to tell you they will not teach you a skill, because you are a nurse. We are paying for them to teach us. LPN's work in many different settings and this means that some people will know skills that others do not.
I could definitely see you as a certified midwife, maybe working in a natural birthing center. You definitely have the personality, demeanor, and natural skill set.
My hospital is 2 to 4 patients max! I work on the Hematology/Oncology ward. Yes working in a hospital is totally different than Ltc! It's much better, more professional environment.
Omg when you talk about nursing school being ghetto and so unorganized....I feel that in my bones! Currently dealing with that exact thing! I'm also in the OB rotation right now as well. Is your program accelerated? Mine is and it's been crazy between clinicals and theory.
If you think you need an upgrade in professionalism from Long Term Care...I need a whole class in it after experiencing Psych 😭 cause wow...but I plan on staying in Psych but I wanna go into Acute Psych and be in a Psych Ward at a hospital 😍 so there’s also that
You should have kept the title. It was intriguing and an attention grabber. People who are offended obviously didn’t bother watching the video or they would know that you are a practical nurse that knows the struggle.
It’s usually awkward but let them know what you are doing and just remain professional. So for example if you are doing a head to toe assessment and you need to see that area you just have to tell them that I need to examine your entire body. And of course if they are uncomfortable or refuse I would just document that and let the MD know or your supervisor know if you need to. But definitely document the refusal
So relatable babe I’m starting rn school this spring and honey it’s like yu been peeking at my life and thoughts 💭 ❤

I like your name 😉
It is. Honestly, that's how most college programs are. A university is a business first and a school second. Why you think they got all these core courses they want you to complete.
my bf just finished his lpn and is doing his adn now, he said the same exact thing lol
Exactly! I am an RPN (Registered Practical Nurse) in Ontario, Canada I am learning nothing new in the BScN program! its all a money grab!!
Wow what program was this? I learned excellent assessment skills and interventions from my bridge program
I'm not a nurse but I have been following your channel for a long time and I just wanted to say that I am so happy for you. You are a great nurse 😘 congratulations on being accepted into RN school..
I can relate to feeling like the odd one out in nursing school because I’m 60. I’m hoping to go into long term care nursing home
Wow. Congrats!!
Congratulations! Which online bridge program are you doing?
Thx, I went to a community college it was only online for the first semester bc of covid
@@yourfavnurseb9699 oh ok, thank you!

An hour.
That part. The pay tho👀🙄
Sooooo informative!! You are truly inspiring ❤️💯❤️

I wonder the same thing. Because once 3rd semester hits we will be with the ‘regular’ students who aren’t nurses yet.
Great video and good luck on your journey. You are going to be a great “Real Nurse”😘
LOL!!! My LPN to RN program was GETTO as well !!!! Yes I do notice that there are few African American RN 's in my hospital. Good luck on your journey!!!
Congratulations on nursing journey!!!
I start my LPN to RN program summer of 2022 I’m ready!
which LPN to RN program?
Asutr has a great program that’s in Arkansas
I’ve never worked in a nursing home, but I can definitely see where you would have to change your way of thinking. I purchased the Cathy Parks Level Up RN cards to study; I have seen great reviews about them. Hopefully they will be very helpful.
One of my subscribers sent me some. I’ve heard great things too

Job Corps is nation wide. I went to a center in Pittsburgh, PA where I got my CNA.
Hi YourFavNurseB, I like your content. I love watching your videos.
Great video per usual!
Some RN's graduate and go to medical billing and coding,pharm etc.. Some skills you don't do like IV's,you were in the right telling them to teach,so proud of you NurseB,how's little momma doing?

Thank you so much for stating the facts about nursing school it’s extremely unprofessional the instructors are disrespectful towards the students and nasty for no reason!!
You have to take the Nclex again even though you are a nurse already?
I will take the RN NCLEX which is different from the LPN NCLEX. But if I were to go for a BSN or MSN I won’t have to take the nclex again
They told us the complete opposite. I was told to stop thinking like an LPN. We learned ALOT in my program. On top of all the papers I had to write ( not typical for an ADN program). But it prepared me for my BSN program
Beautiful baby!!!!!
U helped encouraging me to be with an agency. I'm here now and not loyal to any job. I go where the money is and that's that lol. No politics no getting involved in the facility drama and they hate it😄
Can you make a video on how much you read. How you study and overall review of the exams you take or anything that makes your test taking easier
Them earrings tho🤩🤩
Your daughter is adorable 🥰
You’re doing great girl. Can you share with us how you manage your time? I have two jobs and taking 3 classes. I’m overwhelmed and I don’t have time for myself. I wish I could have a tea with you🥰. I live in St. Charles

It really doesn’t change
You Look Very Beautiful Today Nurse B💃🏽😍😘
My hospital is 2 to 4 patients max! I work on the Hematology/Oncology ward. Yes working in a hospital is totally different than Ltc! It's much better, more professional environment.
Thank you! That’s what I need to know because going to work sometimes is a drag, I fill like I’m just a pill pusher at some of these places.
Omg when you talk about nursing school being ghetto and so unorganized....I feel that in my bones! Currently dealing with that exact thing! I'm also in the OB rotation right now as well. Is your program accelerated? Mine is and it's been crazy between clinicals and theory.

Hey Sis 👍
What’s the appropriate way to ask someone to see their private area?
It’s usually awkward but let them know what you are doing and just remain professional. So for example if you are doing a head to toe assessment and you need to see that area you just have to tell them that I need to examine your entire body. And of course if they are uncomfortable or refuse I would just document that and let the MD know or your supervisor know if you need to. But definitely document the refusal
Girl , how can get your nursing book to buy
Let me say this, there are some RN's who ain't got it. I wonder all the time how they cheated to get there
Any hospital giving you 10 patients Ruuuunnnn!!
Are u still doin the Burlap earrings????
So you consider RN as real nurse what do you consider LPN...smh
It’s a joke… I’ve been an LPN for 8 years
