I’m 17 and work at a nursing memory care home, just got the job, I never worked with residents before especially with dementia, I’ve only practiced on kids in my class and stuff. But they said they can get me to be an LPN and and pay for my nursing program! Which is so nice. I honestly really feel like they don’t know I’m not 18 yet until November. But they shouldve asked. But anyway I have the job anyway.
As you should! Your honestly so blessed to start at a young age❤️💫 & Don’t tell them your age they should of looked before they hired you, keep going girl😭!
Update us?? Did you go for the offer ??
Thank you, I just became a LPN so I can start working as a nurse now before I get my RN next year. This has been really helpful and I subscribed!
Congratulations!!!❤️🎉 & Thank you
@@OdonutzLive you’re welcome and thank you!
I love how in depth you go into what you do! And you’re so detailed and organized!!!
Awee thank you so much❤️❤️, I really appreciate it!
@@OdonutzLive hi is it possible as a lpn can you work 12 hour shifts in 3 days ?
@@staceyfernand1149 Hey and yes it’s possible it definitely depends on what facility you work at. Most nursing homes and Assisted Livings take Full time/ Part time LPNS for only 8 hour shifts. Whereas Hospitals and Office jobs range from 8 to 12 hours for full time & part time!
@@OdonutzLive thank you for this information.
@@OdonutzLive hi do they offer temp agency as well for lpn where you can pick your own hours and schedules? I heard they might have some apps but I'm in Brooklyn ny
I’m currently going to a community college your video really helps me out because I didn’t know what to be first a medical assistant or a LPN but thanks for the advice .
Go for the LPN more room for advancement and the pay is more. Good luck!
Of course I got you!🤞🏾❤️ I’ll try to make more nurse related content to answer more questions & etc. but school (RN) got me in a chokehold right now🙄
@@OdonutzLive I’m going to study to be LPN so I can work while getting my RN license so I love this video into a day in your life.
@@khaleemaalkainaat8178 Congratulations❤️🎉 & yesss as you should! Getting your LPN will be such an advantage when going for your RN❤️‼️
I'm a LPN but the hospital I work at don't have LPN positions so I was hired as a PCA and UAA. I do everything as a LPN with the LPN pay but just not the title. I don't pass meds but I remove IV's, draw blood, insert and remove foley caths, etc. I do everything but start IV's, pass meds and push meds for $37.50 an hour. I work the 12 hour night shift.
That sounds great especially considering you’re getting great pay without doing meds! Passing meds to an ENTIRE floor is draining😭
Where do you work? That's love
Love the way u think … ur going to be a great RN
Thank you so much, I appreciate it❤️!
I’m an LPN student and I’ve worked in hospitals / nursing homes as CNA so I kinda see what the nurses do on the floor but I really appreciate your video bc I’m really scared of getting into this field , thank you !
Congrats!! & Starting as a CNA really teaches you the basics of what to expect in the field, so you’ll do great❤️💯
@@OdonutzLive Thank you :) ❤❤& yes it really do, it makes you see things from another perspective and you know what to expect
Have you been struggling with NCLEX be it LPN or RN, have you taken the exam for more than once? Are you taking it for the first time? Do you have a too busy schedule to study? Get to Dr Needham for your NCLEX assistance. I’m so happy I finally passed my exams thanks to him. He’s got a magical qbank which will help you become a RN
just when i thought i’d give up you’ve inspired me to continue to study to become a nurse ❤️
I’m honestly so happy to hear that! Keep going it’s really worth it in the end❤️❗️I hope your nursing journey is prosperous despite any hardships!!!!
Miss…miss, ma’am thank you so much for your nursing content I’m extremely grateful. Also you go girl power. School and l work. And still stay slayed yessss. Peace and blessings ❤🙏🏾
Thank youuu, I appreciate it!❤️ Nursing shouldn't stop us from looking good
Very well put! I’m in the program now and have about 6 months left! I’m so excited yet anxious but this definitely helped! Thank you!
Thank you❤️ and Good luck, you’ll do great! ❤️
How long did it takes to be LPN
@@merongebremeskel1974 18 Months or 12 months depending on how fast you want the process to be over😩
I love you ❤️ this was so helpful for myself as a future LPN
Thank you for your feedback!😩❤️ I’m glad it helped!
Great video! I will be graduating with my LPN in October.
Thank you❤️and Congratulations❗️❗️It’s honestly a great occupation!
The one thing I did was kept my grades to myself and if I barely passed. I applauded myself 👏👏👏. I never looked to be an "A" student, I was just proud enough to have accomplished a goal ..But the biggest thing is always give yourself grace and go at your own speed. But thank to Dr Jonathan for his help. He is wonderful and ready to help anyone . If you need help to pass your exam, contact
@@tracylathrop3046 I completely agree!🤍 It doesn’t matter what grade you got during the program when you still finished with that License!
Sooo, freaking gorgeous 😍. & I love the content, please keep it coming Sis ! 💪🏾 cause I know that’s right !
Thank you, I fr appreciate the love❤️❤️💪🏽 more nurse related videos on the way as well!
I was a CNA for 20 years, before becoming an LPN last year. I never want to be that Nurse that feels they are too good to do care.
Exactly! Nurses who transitioned from being a CNA, PCA, or HHA are usually a lot more hands with “nurse to patient” care
Loved this ! You were so informative. I start orientation at my first facility on Monday. BTW TIKTOK brought me here .
Thank you❤️! Good luck with orientation, you’ll do great❤️!
As a New LPN i really appreciated your video.
Thank you!❤️
Very informative. Going for my LPN soon (then RN bridge) so it's nice to get this insight. Looking forward to more nursing videos! 🙂
Thank you & good luck with your nursing program!❤️ If you have any questions let me know, I’ll answer them in a video!
@@OdonutzLive hi girl is it possible to work as a school nurse with your lpn license?
@@staceyfernand1149 Yea of course!❤For my Pediatric rotation, my clinical site was an elementary school instead of a children's hospital and I met a few LPN's as school nurses🙌🏽
@@OdonutzLive wow that's good to know & thank you so much I was curious lol
Perioddddd sista! I just got accepted into an LPN program but I’m stressing over scheduling/financial issues with my current CNA job so I’m stressing 😩😂
PERIODTT, CONGRATULATIONS❤️💫 Try to start budgeting your money now. I was in a similar predicament and stacked up in the summer time so that when fall came I would cut back on hours at work to keep up with school work!
I absolutely love this video because I'm so nervous to become a nurse and you helped a little explaining with being organized.
Don’t be nervous! & Thank youu I’m glad I could help❤️

You’re so right!😩 I’ll try to upload a nurse related video by next week❤️💪🏽
I'm about to graduate from a LPN program. Your work day seems so laid back. I'm off in the trenches as an aide lol. You make me feel bad for not ironing my scrubs lmao
Congrats!!! & yea this was definitely one of my lighter days, the job can get so busy😭. & I always iron my scrubs, otherwise my coworkers make fun of me🤣
@@OdonutzLive They better back off. Nevertheless, let me go buy an iron and stop throwing them in the dryer to knock the wrinkles out
Great video my dear 👍🏽❤
You will go far in life because you are a humble young woman.
Thank you!❤️
You’re a vibe sis!! I love this video very informative!
Thank you!!❤️
I love this video! I'm starting my LPN program in April and am super nervous!
Thank you so much and good luck with school, you’ll do great!!❤️🤞🏾

Good luck with school! & that’d be a great video. I’ll definitely try to convince her😭
More of these pleaseeeee ❤
More nurse related content on the way!❤️
Those talons wow!
Those shoes look heckin comfortable.
Thank you!❤️ I have three pairs of them, tbh they’re the best for long distance walking🤣
@@OdonutzLive girl, where do I get a pair? lol.

Thank you❤️!
This is such informational video thanks so much hopefully I get there 🙏🏽 God bless
Love this video! 💘 very proud of you!
Thank youuu❤️!
As I’m a Non-CNA until I get my CNA licenses, I used to be a PCA worker so I decided to CNA after security.
Thanks for the info
No problem!❤️
What’s your education requirements to be a LPN ? And how much they make an hour ?
Heyy❤️ and make sure you have ur GED and most schools will require you to take the TEAS exam! That’s pretty much it, & pay ranges from $20-45. Don’t settle for anything under $35!❤️
I start the lpn program in a few weeks I'm excited and nervous
Good luck with the program❤️ & Don’t be nervous, as long as you study you’ll honestly do great!
Wow you came along way !! . Keep going 💪🏾
Thank you, I appreciate it❤️!
Hi, @OdonutzLive😊 I know most people who go for LVN or LPN they're r passing by to become RN later but what if someone wants to stop at LVN or LPN why do people keep pressure on you to become an RN? Like I'm meeting with my college career counselor she says to become a travel nurse you have to become an RN She was telling me more about RN than LVN I want to become an LVN I might just be that. What is wrong with it? Watching your video I see myself doing this in the long run.
What is your insight on this?
Thanks for sharing your videos with all of us. I'm a new subscriber 🎉
Love this video! I’m currently in school to get my RN license. Your facility allows you to have nails? They’re cute btw!
Thank you so much❤️! We’re allowed to have short nails. For the sake of this video I tried putting on some press on nails and these were my only pair😭💔
Yeah I was I know her job writes her up all the time for those nails.
My facility doesn't care as long as you show up. They're soooo short staffed. As long as they aren't Cardi nails
Couldn’t help but notice that your lanyard is stony Brook university. I’m from long island as well! I plan on becoming an LPN after high school. Which LPN program / school did U do?
Hey❤️ I went to Eastern Suffolk Boces but I do NOT recommend the school. I heard Hunters Business school offers the LPN program and it’s not as stressful!💯 Good luck & study hard for your TEAS❤️!
@@OdonutzLive thank you sooo much!!! Very helpful!
Hi, I know this video and post is old but I’ve been researching LPN programs myself. I just moved to the Port Jefferson area and I have no idea where to start.
Did you ever find a school / program??
What state pls? And what’s the pay like for both new grad and seasoned lpn ? Do the RN sometimes look down on the LPns? Do you feel like it’s better to go for RN straight instead or it’s very worth it to start lpn n then bridge? Also what were requirements for bridge program like another entrance exam and did any of your lpn courses transfer to meet some RN program course? Also did you get 6minths to a year of lpn experience before going to RN school or is it possible to bridge immediately the following semester after grad from lpn school? Also is lpn job responsibility overwhelming with lots of patient lifting that it affects back or knees?
Also how long is your RN program? lpn to Rn program is it accelerated for a year completion or did you go the RN 2year route. With that can you tell us how u balance lpn work with RN school? What your schedules for each are like. Finally do you think being an lpn first was worth it or do u feel now it’s better to have just gone the RN route straight instead .
Heyy❤️ and in New York State, the pay is honestly the same as long as you find a job that’s willing to pay your worth as an LPN, the pay can range anywhere from $24-$40 an hour. I honestly won’t settle for anything less than $30! RN’s don’t necessarily look down on LPN’s, we’re a team so we have to learn to work together. In my opinion RNs and LPNs only butt heads when the job is overwhelming, other than that when everything is organized and everyone knows their duties/tasks the ship sails smoothly lol! I’m going to make a video on whether or not doing the LPN program is a “waste of time” but overall it’s not, you learn a lot and prepare for the real nursing world rather than being thrown out there as an RN with no REAL experience. I didn’t get to do the bridge program but I’ll definitely search that up! I went to school right after becoming an LPN but when applying to the bridge program I know you need at least 1 year of experience. The job of any health profession can get overwhelming just try to manage stress levels and don’t overwork your body with back to back shifts. There’s not much patient lifting. I didn’t get to do the accelerated nursing program, my RN program was the traditional 4 but I’m currently doing it in 3 years. I balance my LPN job & RN school by prioritizing school as number one and honestly sticking to a part time job for the time being. Nursing school can be extremely difficult so I had to cut back on a lot of hours at the job to focus on school. My schedule is usually all over the place I’m part time but since it’s summer I’ve been working a lot. Being an LPN was definitely worth it!❤️ You had great questions! I’ll definitely go more in depth with a video on schooling/salary/ & types of programs!
Glad I found your channel!
Glad you enjoyed the content❤️!!!
I work in a assisted living and pre popping is absolutely not aloud.
It would make things 100% faster but it is not aloud
Right, I’ve noticed most facilities have stopped pre-pouring. It definitely used to help!
I work in an Assisted Living facility and we are allowed to pre pour
My facility just recently stopped, I noticed a lot of facilities are slowing down with pre pouring. I wish they’d stop because it saves staff a lot of time😭
Is being a lpn hard
Not necessarily! It depends on the facility/ job you have. It’s definitely busy tho😭
LOVED YOUR VID ! where did you go to school to get your lpn? Are you bridging with the same program ?
Thank you❤️!! I attended Boces for the LPN program. They didn't offer a bridge program so unfortunately, I went back and had to do the traditional four year schooling but ended up doing three by taking winter and summer courses
@@OdonutzLive thank you so much for replying! I know a lot of people look down if you go for your LPN before getting your RN, do you regret not doing your RN first??
@@victoriamcgee53 Of course, anytime!❤️ Also no, I’ll upload a video on this topic with more information but I honestly feel that getting my LPN really prepared me for nursing school (RN) and the clinical setting. A lot of nursing students graduate but have little to no healthcare experience /patient interactions. Being an LPN helped my confidence when talking to family members AND doctors lol I’m so used to it now! I only regret not being able to register for a bridge program because I retook gen-ed classes
@@OdonutzLive ok i will definitely check that out. But yes that is so true! I’m a cma right now but I don’t really having the nursing experience . So I figured I would go for my Lpn first and just see how that goes. But thank you so much ! I just subbed ❣️❣️
@@victoriamcgee53 Thank you and good luck with schooling, you’ll honestly do great!❤️
What school do you go to? If you dont mind me asking😩
Of course not❤️! Do you mean schooling for my LPN program??
👩🏾⚕️🩺
How do you go about becoming a LPN?
First research schools you’re interested in and make sure you have all the requirements such as TEAS entrance exam or High-school diploma/GED. Then if you have all the requirements call the school and find out when they’re taking students / what type of program they offer. Some school offer 12 - 18 months programs. Hope this helps, I’ll be posting a video explaining all the details
Can lpn work in
Pediatric associate?
I’m not sure if they can work in that specific office but I do know a lot of other Pediatric offices & facilities offer LPN positions!
Do you get any backlash about your nails?
Not really, but it’s better to have short nails when on the job and if you go long make sure they’re press on nails so you can remove them before work!❤️
Do they allow you guys to wear nails that long on the job?
We can wear nails but they prefer them to be shorter🤣😩
Hey boo! What did you use to study for NCLEX?
Great question❤️! My number one and BEST source was Uworld! 100 questions a day and taking the time to understand each rationale and utilizing study groups to honestly just test and quiz each other’s knowledge. I’ll be uploading a video soon with more details on how to prepare!
Do you think LPN is a draining job? I always hope to be a nurse but I don’t know because I’m into art right now and i gave everything up to be a artist.
I’m wondering will have the energy to continue art
My honest opinion is that it really depends on where you choose to work. Bedside nursing is definitely draining but if you become an LPN and work in an assisted living or have an independent case (Which I highly recommend in your scenario), you’ll be able to find a nice job that isn’t as strenuous. I think you should look into an agency job where you can have a one to one case with a patient. It’s one person so your not all over the place and you’ll probably just be giving them their medications. & If your naturally a dedicated person three to two days out of the week won’t stop you from pursuing your passion! I hope this helps & good luck if you do go into nursing!🤍
