I saw your video in 2016. Pregnant with my 4th child & with no job, high school drop out. When I saw this video something in side of me told me to fight. To fight for my life, my children lives as well. I self studied my whole 9months & August 2016. I pass my GED, applied for LPN school & got in. 2018, I'm now An LPN GRADUATE 🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏NOTHING BUT THE GRACE OF GOD. But I just want to Thank You soooooo much for your videos. YOU WAS MY ENCOURAGEMENT & SENT ANGEL FROM GOD. Thank you for sharing your life, because your videos has changed lives. 😇Take care. I hope & pray you see my message.
I literally read your comment to my husband and started crying tears of joy for you. OMG - sis. Look at you! You did it!!!!
There are no words right now. All I keep thinking is "Gods Plan. Gods Plan."
I remember the day I decided to record this video - I cried. These moments were so dark. So personal. But I felt in my spirit that I needed to share my experience with the world - because I knew I could help people who felt like I did. I knew I could help people who were experiencing what I had experienced. I could be proof that where you start has absolutely nothing to do with where you end up.
Thank you for posting this. My heart is bursting with joy and happiness. This comment is motivation for me to share more. Create more. Inspire more. May God continue to bless your life and the lives of your children.
Congrats!!!!!
With love and admiration,
Lada
I'm proud of you!
Yes! I am a single mother of five *( had 2 sets of twins) and all i knew was toxicity. I was homeless for many years and worked in fast food and food service for over 15 years working hard labor and minimal wage jobs. I'll never forget that time. Now I'm a homeowner and a RN. I was able to take my kids to the fair which was something I had always dreamed of because I had always had only enough to get the necessity items, never enough to do anything extra or fun. GOD WILL MAKE A WAY. I promise He sees our struggles here and it was HIM that gave me the strength to make it through nursing school and those rough years, and still keeping me now. Its soo hard. I cant lie about that.. but its doable. I had given up on life.. I gave my life totally to Him by faith and was like "if I die in this process, at least I died trying ". And God did it. God did it. God did it.
Im am a 23 yr old mom of 1&2 yr old boys. I am a CNA, in nursing school working towards my Rn. I have completed, all prerequsites, and now I need to test into clinicals. I took the test once, and scored under average (you only get two chances in two years, I don't have two years to sit out) so I have kind of scared myself, I'm scared I will fail it again, because that's how my lucks always been to. There is a prep class this summer, BT it's $200 dollars out of pocket, so Im working like heck to pay for it. wish me luck🎓
Alicia Williams How'd it go? Did you pass?
i hope all went well for you! and if not , dont give up girl.
Update!!!! How are you?!
Hello i am a 50 year old male think about going back to school to become a nurse.
Julius Cheeseboro YOU CAN DO IT
Julius Cheeseboro age just a number bruh!
Oh wow! Very impressive! I'm 39 and have 7 yr old twins. I was really considering going into the nursing program. But started thinking my time has passed to go back to school. But I'm so not happy in the space that I'm in right now. being an RN had always been my dream going back to middle school. I'm going to do it! I really need to get my CNA or something to make more money while going to school. I don't have a support system and that's what really scares me.I''m scared of failure.
Its never too late to go back to school. I am 26 and going back to school next year. I have an almost 1 year old daughter. I am not happy being a SAHM and spent the last year taking online pre-reqs so I would qualify for accelerated nursing. I studied really hard for good grades and just got accepted for accelerated nursing. I'll be 29/30 by the time I finish and it's delayed us from having another child. My husband is my support system.
Latecia Milliner Don't let fear rob you of your purpose. I worked as a CNA at night while taking my prereqs for Dental Hygiene (yes, 2 different fields but I was able to get a flexible job as a CNA while going to school) in the day. Lots of trials and tribulations along the way but through mentorship, faith, hard work, and Grace, I was accepted to a Hygiene program. After that did degree completion program to get my BS in Dental Hygiene. Kept pushing, worked in the day, was finally making Hygiene money and started working on prereqs for Dental School. Recently applied and got accepted to Dental School for the DDS...41 years old. Delay Does Not Mean Denial! This video is a great testament to that fact.
It touched my heart!!I'm a single mom of six and disgusted at the choices I've made. I'm ready for change. I came across this video and it was just what I needed to hear. Thank you for sharing your testimony and with Gods help I'll be able to share mine one day!!
I'm looking forward to hearing about your testimony💖
You can and will do it sis!
Good on u
Nothing is too hard that God can't bring you out of. That thing that's burning on the inside of you is your calling. You can do it sis So go Get it!! You were born to do Amazing things! Much love to you and your babies. ❤ WE can't wait to witness your testimony.
Single mom of 5 here. CNA at 17 LPN at 22 RN ADN at 41.. now pursuing BSN then FNP... Make a long term goal and short term milestones.. You can do it..
I felt the same way so I went to school to become a MA, then went back for LPN and I passed the NCLEX this year 😊
Mizz Tami Nichole's Closet congratulations
Are you an RN or NP now?
Crying tears of admiration and happiness for you!😭You are an amazing gift to the world! Peace! Dr.O the PA Pro🤓
Awwww!!!!😩 Thank you Dr. O!!! Means so much❤️
YOU INSPIRE ME! You are not only a role model to your daughter, but to others like myself. Thank you for sharing your experience! All the way from Hawaii. I'm a CNA going to school for my BSN but my ultimate goal is to be a Nurse Practitioner like you!
With tears in my eyes I truly thank you. I start an LPN program next month. I am a single mother of 2 children and I am both terrified and excited for this next journey! Thanks for the inspiration
Hello Asheley! Those feelings are totally normal. You are starting a new chapter of your life so there will be nervous energy, but as you get into the program things will get better. I am so happy for you!!!! Isn't life grand? 😘
This was so good I almost cried .. current Lpn student .. single mom of 3
Kadiezcha Leake: I just graduated the LPN program. You can do it
I'm so thankful to God for coming across your video. I recently got to the point where it's like it's now or never and your videos are building my hope up even more.
My same exact thoughts and feelings
Inspirational...same story....cna...lpn..to RN (associates). BSN, new NP!!....Teen mother also...I spoke to my son's father recently and he said..I wasn't sure if you were going to make it...I was like...really because I always new I was going to be ok in a big way...I had struggles, I had challenges, but I always knew...I was going to be more than ok...But I didnt have that I hate my life until I was 30ish and then it was on (its never too late, but it gets harder the later you wait!) Purchased my house soon after I became a LPN.
next step...PHD for academia and research and entrepreneurial endeavors. Funny you mention excelsior, I was thinking about applying for a clinical examiner position with them as I did my MSN education online at the same time as my NP. Best to you!!
"It gives you power"--that's right, its give you proof, that you can and you will!
♥️
Here's to living life with no shoulda, coulda, wouldas!!🍻
I'm starting my nursing journey as a second bachelors student. I'm also a single mom and was a teen mom. After a divorce I'm finally finding my way.
That's awesome same here. I got my BA in Psych but it's been hard to get jobs. Now I been accepted in to the nursing program. Yay good luck!
Success in life comes when you simply refuse to give up, with goals so strong that obstacles, failure, and loss only act as motivation.
"The time is going to pass anyway."
Thanks for such an inspriring video. I hope I stay humble like you, when I become a np.
This brought on the waterworks for me. I can relate, not as a teen mom but a single one. I got pregnant my sophomore year in college, got a worthless degree and started working for the government. Now I've done a 360 and have one semester of nursing school left (ASN program). I also plan to go back for my bachelor's and FNP. I've lost a lot of friends and relationships along the way but, I'm not stopping. Thanks for being an inspiration!
YES!!!!! So happy for you!!!! 😭
+Nurse Lada Thank you so much!
Bayoubelle83 Wow, that's amazing! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks you're inspiring me. I became a mom at 19 then I had 4 kids. I never had a great job. I was suppose to apply for nursing school and didn't due to my grandma and dad passing away. Then I had to move to my moms house to make sure she was taken care of. So instead I got a BA in Psych. Which now it's really hard to get a job and the pay sucks. I completed my nursing prerequisites and got accepted to nursing school. I'm so happy I'm 30 now and I hope my dream can finally come true.
Sounds like you didn't have a whole lot of help and that you are a determined and self-made woman. I think of myself that way. So from one NP to another, kudos. And I'm proud of you. I am proud of anyone who can overcome adversity and circumstances and make their own way regardless.
Hey Dr. Lada! So I'm in tears at the moment because I watched this exact video about 4 years ago, sitting in the car of my now ex that was abusive and that I had two kids with. I had no education, no job, no car, no family willing to help, not a penny in my own pocket, not even a phone. I always had this dream of doing better than where I was at that moment. A dream and hunger for me to be better for my kids and have better for them. Im sitting here in my living room, with my kids asleep and my husband that I just got married to in November of 2020 and on my winter break from medical assistant school until January 11th. I have my GED, CNA training, currently in college, full custody of my children, my own apartment, a new car, savings in the bank, restored relationships with family, and so much more! Today I'm watching this video with only one more month until I graduate as an M.A. and im going on externship next month, im currently an office manager for a Chiropractic office and im a married woman to an amazing Christian man, and my kids never have to worry about a thing because they are fully provided for. God has truly blessed my kids and I. I want to thank you for this video because this video put a hope in my heart and made me excited at that fact that if you can do it...then I can too! Gosh it's so amazing to watch this video again and feel the feelings I had the first time watching this to now being in such an incredible spot in my life! Please don't stop making videos! I literally had this video come to mind so many times and it encouraged me. It truly made me push forward because of tour testimony! You are truly a motivation for me and a role model as a mother! God bless you!!
Lily,
I am speechless. Your story is so beautiful. Two words come to mind ..... GODS PLAN.
When we go through trying times and come out on top, we have so much more appreciation. I am so proud of you. You are blessed and highly favored. God is so good to us!!!!!!
I was just thanking him for this day. For my life.
And now I’ve read your comment and my heart is so full. I plan on making more videos about life, goals, happiness etc.
Keep me posted on your progress and success. You are doing great things.
Lada 😘
You did the footwork, and God executed the plan... Awesome inspirational story. Thanks Nurse Lada, immensely encouraging :)
Exactly❤️
Wow. I never really leave a comment on any video but you truly touched my heart. I am inspired by your words. Thank you for creating this meaningful video. I am 20 yrs old, I got pregnant at 18 managed to graduate high school with morning sickness and nausea everyday. I was always a proficient student but I felt like my life had changed and I wasn't going to be able to attend and afford going to college. I knew I had to be pursue my dreams to provide and be a good role model for my daughter. My parents passed away when I was 13 years old and I had promised them I was going to be someone in this life and I am happy to say that I am now working towards that promise. I am 20 years old now enrolled in a Community College trying to pursue my dream to become a RN. I am so excited to start classes already. One week to go. I'm blessed to have the father of my baby and my daughter to support me every step of the way. God is good.
So happy for you❤️ hard work pays off.
Yes, he is good - all the time. Have faith. Pray. Work hard. Stay focused. Never give up.
And you will accomplish everything you set out to do. That's a promise. I look forward to hearing your testimony. You are going to do great things, I can feel it. Go get it: Graciela Delgado, RN
I'm a man and I want to be a pediatric nurse practitioner. I'm a veteran and just starting out going to get my ASN and so forth. This video is very inspiring and motivating to me. Your words are beautiful and you are too!
Lada this is very inspiring video. So many young girls who have lost their way need to hear this and believe in themselves. When I am learning from my preceptors I befriend MAs who ask question about my educational path and I tell them like you stated here. It is possible if you want it you can go get it and let God inside. :-) You are the best. 43 more days and I will graduate as a MSN, FNP!!!!
I'm starting work toward my ASN in Nursing at Ivy Tech in the spring with an end goal of being an FNP! Thank you for the inspiration --
You are a wonderful inspiration!!!! I am currently 22 with a 6 month old son. About to complete my AA in criminal justice with the thought of going to law school. However in the last couple of weeks, I have been confused in what career to take, my passion for law just isn't there and I have been looking into NP's. I think you just convinced me to do it. I am planning to become an LPN first, then RN, BSN and FNP. Thank you, because just when i thought i couldn't, you reminded me that i could. You are definitely a sign from the Lord.
Hey have you done it let us know with an update
Thanks you're inspiring me. I became a mom at 19 then I had 4 kids. I never had a great job. I was suppose to apply for nursing school and didn't due to my grandma and dad passing away. Then I had to move to my moms house to make sure she was taken care of. So instead I got a BA in Psych. Which now it's really hard to get a job and the pay sucks. I live in Los Angeles and it's so expensive. I completed my nursing prerequisites and got accepted to nursing school. I'm so happy I'm 30 now and I hope my dream can finally come true.
Elizabeth, you have taken the first step. You were accepted into nursing school! Your're doing it! I am so happy for you, you didn't give up on your dreams! Go after them girl! You will never regret it 💖
Thank you thank you! You really are an inspiration. You're daughter is very lucky to have a mom who was willing to work hard, struggle, sacrifice all to make a better life for her. And you're of course lucky to have her. Your story is one of a kind and I'm happy to be able to know the happy outcome. Take care.
Thank you so much!
Nurse Lada you are such an inspiration!!! Keep doing what you do girl!
Thank you Taylor!
Taylor Hayden although a
Just starting nursing school bsn I cried everyday for a week because of the stress and separation anxiety from my family , I was about to withdraw from my program , I saw your video and now I'm encouraged and sure I made the right choice, thank you
cute vids Hang in there! You can do it! Take the bull by the horns and declare to yourself that failure is NEVER an option! Blessings to you!
Original Dreamgirl , thank you so much I really needed that , I am heading into my first skills test
We miss out on a lot when we are in nursing school. I've cried buckets of tears, so I know how you feel. I've yelled "I quit!" numerous times, just to find myself studying again a few hours later.
Just remember, school is TEMPORARY - but you will have the degree and the benefits that come along with it for the rest of your life.
Get through it. You will be proud of yourself. Your family will be proud of you.
Keep your eyes on the prize🎁
You are an example of what any nurse should aspire to be!!! xo
You're such an inspiration. I'm 36 and thinking about going back to school for nursing and worried I'm too old, that I missed my chance when I decided to get married and have babies out of high school, or that I can't handle it with 3 kids at home. You really make me feel excited about just going for it.
Gloria Otto I am a 56yr old LPN and I just got accepted into an RN ASN program. I will start in May 2018 and will graduate in May 2019! Then, I will enter an Rn- MSN online program. YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD TO FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!! JUST DO IT!😄😄😄
best motivational speech ever heard!
Thanks Natalie!
I started crying halfway through the video! Nurse Lada, you are such an inspiration! What a beautiful story. I wish you nothing but more blessings & success in your life and career! ❤️
Wow! My life mirrors yours in so many ways its incredible. I am excited to know that as I take my journey to become a Nurse Practitioner there are women just like me that have been through so much and still made it out on top. Don't know you personally but super proud!!!
I can remember i watched your video when i had no idea what i was doing with my life. I had recently gotten out of an abusive relationship and my life was literally going down the drain. Within the past year, i told myself i was going to build my life back. So i decided to go for it. I am so excited and happy to announce that i will be graduating from Nursing school tomorrow!!!

I can’t begin to tell you what this message means to me. THIS is why I shared my story - to inspire others.
The joy I feel for you cannot be expressed with words. My heart is full.
May God continue to bless you.
Yours in success,
Lada❤️
I'm a teen mom and going to get my g.e.d and go to school for nursing and I want to work my way up to a nurse practitioner! your video motivates me to do it! thank you! 😁
My mom's story is just like yours. We're also from Gary and I'm glad I have a strong mother to guide me through life. You're simply amazing. My mom always tells me that she went through these things so we don't have to. I have my B.A already in political science and I've decided to go to an accelerated nursing program. Your channel is great motivation.
I can relate because I'm an expecting mother and I graduate may 2017 from HS and I start college in the fall for nursing but I am not giving up I refuse to even tho k about giving up I'm going to just got ahead so my schooling and I've been looking for a job but I'm striving to get my BSN ASAP even if I have to take more classes than normal to graduate early I am going to be successful by any means necessary
I just came across your video and you are an amazing inspiration. I also had a baby at 16 and dropped out. Im 20 and just had my second baby. I went back to high school a year after i dropped out and took extra classes and finished on time. I just finished my first year of pre reqs and got accepted into an adn program at community college of philadelphia ( which is really competitive) . I had my baby girl march first and went to class 4 days later. anyways i start my program early september. im so glad i stumbled upon your video. congratulations to you and your success. I hope i can stick it out like you because i have dreams of beoming a nurse practitioner. thanks :)
kaylee bridgeman you're amazing! Sweetheart I'm glad you went back to school and are pursuing a degree. From one teen mom to the next, you got this!!
Congratulations on your acceptance into CCP's ADN program. I'm looking into that, and a few BSN programs in the Philadelphia/So. Jersey area (i.e. Rutgers, Gwynedd Mercy University, Temple). Could you provide us with an update on your educational status? How did it go? Did you graduate? And how do/did you like it? Brightest Blessings to you and your family.
Nurse Lada you are such an inspiration. I was a teen mom and a high school drop out also due to hurricane Katrina. I am now 28 and in my last year in RN school. I strive to be an NP as well. Whenever I'm down I watch your videos and they keep me motivated along with my two little ones. Thank you for sharing your story!
I have been struggling SO much with health issues and some other personal problems the past few years and have decided to go to nursing school next year! In the midst of meeting with my advisor and getting financial aid and it's SO easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged but you're giving me so much hope
You just gave me life! I was feeling really discouraged about starting this pursuit towards ultimately a NP and I thank you for this!
Nurse Lada you changed my life. You posted this in April 2016. January 2017 I started RN school. I finished May 2018 & passed my NCLEX that June. I went back June 2019 for my BSN & graduated May 2020. This year. I start my FNP program June 1st, 2020. THANK YOU. You changed my entire life. Thank you.
LOOK. AT. GOD. You had it in you all along! I am speechless! Just.... wow 😩. Thank you for sharing this with me. My heart is full ❤️. Keep me posted!!!!!!!
This is amazing!! I immediately subscribed. I was close to finishing my 2 year degree for RN but due to unforeseen circumstances I moved states and now I'll be done with my CNA certification by the end of fall!! Still want to continue on my journey of becoming a nurse and eventually a nurse practitioner❤️ God is good, thank you for the inspiration
Yes he is! 🙌🏿
I'm super excited for you!!!! Set goals and stop at nothing until you accomplish them! Congrats on taking the first step!!!! ❤️
So inspirational I can't even deal. You are pretty much amazing. I have started incorporating the saying about time also. I used to be full of fear and then 1 day I said just start. As a result received offers to all ns I applied to. You and your words have helped on this journey. I would love to hear more of your life journey. I believe you can help thousands of girls turn their lives around.
+Rhona G And I have sooooooo much more to say😂 Thank you😉
Wow! I can't really articulate how much your video has inspired, encouraged, and uplifted me. Seeing how you have hundreds of comments regarding this video, I don't know if you will even read this, but if you do, I just want to say thank you for sharing your story. I have been searching youtube for months trying to find someone that I can relate to that is already where I want to be. I can relate to your story in so many ways. Like yourself, I was a teen mom. My daughter is now 18, and I also have a 4 and 5 year old that I am raising alone due to a divorce. I have one more semester of nursing school left. I graduate in December with my associate's degree. Next will come my bachelors, and then a master's degree.Nursing school has been one of the most challenging things I have ever done. I have had a couples of set backs while in school, but after I cry, and pray, I get back up and keep moving forward. Once I am finished with school, I plan to start making videos to encourage teens, and women like you and me who have made up in their mind they want a better life. I will share my journey just as you have done, to let them know anything is possible if you believe! It is no accident that I came across your channel, God knew what I needed to hear, and I got what I needed from watching your video. Please keep sharing, your testimony is a blessing!
Hello there! I actually read all of the comments! LOL
I love your story! Congrats on your accomplishments thus far! So happy for you. We have so much in common - you totally understand the struggle :)
Just browsing looking for some mellow tunes and ran into Nurse Lada. I must say to you my sister that this video really touched me. My story is almost identical to yours. I was sitting here trying to get motivated into writing my assignment that is due tomorrow and low and behold. Not only did this bring me to tears but it help me to understand that I'm not alone. I am gonna go, wash my face and get this paper done tonight. You have truly inspired me today to keep pressing on. May God continue to keep you humbled and your life continue to be a ministry and testimony to someone else. This what just what the practitioner ordered ;) Thank you. I will look for you on FB.
Thank you so much for your inspiring words! I just passed boards to work as an RN. I too had a child at a young age, but look at me now. GOD has a plan. Thank you, people need to hear your story. Be blessed😊
This is amazing ❤️
I was a teen mum. I am 22 and have a 5 year old and a 20 month old and I am now 4 weeks away from becoming an RN 😀
I know that I want to be a nurse practitioner one day. I was accepted to the best and Mose competitive nursing program in the state of Wisconsin yet I still doubt myself. My biggest fear is not making it. Your story makes me think that if you can do it, so can I! You are such an inspiration!
Thank you so much for the inspiration and encouragement! There are a lot of single moms in the comments, I am one too! I'm currently finishing my Rn prerequisites, and my end goal is to be an NP! I can't wait!
So happy for you! Great things ahead my dear❤️
Thank you! I was also a teen parent and have been a CNA for 6 years. I'm almost done with my pre-reqs but having a hard time with human anatomy. Still on my way there and thinking optimistically.
Wow this is very inspirational I'm 23 and a single mother I want to be a NP as well I'm in school now trying to juggle that and work full time while taking care of my 8 year old it's so hard and watching your video makes me so happy and inspired by your ambition ❤️💕
Your testimony is such an inspiration. It does not matter what happened in the past, the future can be made beautiful!
thanks for sharing i'm a single mom at a crossroads in my life I currently work but not making enough I been trying to find a second job haven't had any luck so I'm currently in school to become a medical assistant
Please go further. Don't stop there. I met a medical assistant at my school and she's wishing to apply to nursing program. Medical assistants are only making $15 an hour.
Wow, this brought tears to my eyes!
I am currently a LPN, and I also have a GED. I am starting my pre-reqs at the local CC so I can apply for the LPN - ADN bridge program! You are such an inspiration! Thank you!
Your an inspiration. Congrats. Thank you for being you :)
Be well be blessed.
You have no idea what your testimony meant to me I cannot begin to tell you. You have helped me regained my confidence and drive, as I type this with tears I just want to say THANK YOU!! I was able to finish my CNA been one for 24 years, did my Medical assistant (MA) and ASN all this as a single mom of 2. I refuse to give up. I will have NO regrets.
your story is so familiar to me i had to keep myself from crying . because i was ready to change my major and career . i love being a nurse but I want a degree.selective admissions are brutal . but your delivery feels like you are talking to my spirit . thank you and God Bless
I was so encouraged by your video! I was a teen mom myself, married then divorced and in 2012 I ended up on my own with all 5 kids!!! Your story is VERY relatable and just helped me realize to keep on going ❤️ Started my journey back to school in 2014 and I’m on track to enter the Nursing Program this spring!! As a single mom I have paid my way this far and worked tirelessly to make all A’s but more importantly setting the standard for my kids and showing them EVERYTHING you want is attainable. It’s takes time, prayer, dedication and perseverance to get what you want!! You really hit the nail on the head....THANK YOU for your encouragement!!
Nurse practitioner is a great career option. Curious if you ever looked in CRNA. I'm in a CRNA program now and really enjoy it.
That's what you like, why should she looks into crna for?
You do not understand how much this video inspired and motivated me to keep going. May the Lord richly bless you!
Awwww! Exactly what I wanted - to inspire others. 😘
I'm 24 and now decided to go back to school for LPN. Wish I had done it sooner but it's ok , I will pave a way for my family. Living in the ghetto is not in my future. Amen
thank you for posting this. I'm currently in a pre-nursing program. I have a 3 week old baby and I'm on my 2nd set of classes to guarantee my admission into the nursing program. it's so hard already I have a 2 year old as well. but this totally motivated me. thank you! God bless!
You're welcome!
as your telling your story I'm getting so emotional. my story is so similar except I'm in the process of picking myself up
Hello Natalie! Realizing that you want to make changes in your life is the beginning. Some people aren't even at that point yet!
You are picking yourself up - there is nothing more important! Your journey begins when you change your mind. I'm excited for you.
Congratulations.
I'm so happy for you I shed tears watching your videos. I'm a young single mother in school to get my ADN then BSN and one day become a NP. You have really motivated me in a time when I felt like giving up. Thank you
The Holy Spirit was speaking to me throughout this video... He said "this message is for you, this message is for you. Just listen, this is for you". Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have been an LPN for 8yrs. This just gave me the push that I needed to become all that God has created me to be. I am 39yrs old, and sometimes I feel like I have waited too long. But I am BOSS, so I need to start acting like one lol. I thank God for this video. New Subbie Here!
Wow. I felt chills when I read your comment! You, my dear, are destined for great things! We can do anything we set our minds to. If a girl who dropped out of high school 3 months into 9th grade can make it this far... you can too. I'm excited for you! Keep me posted!
+Nurse Lada Amen Nurse Lada! Thank you for that. I love how transparent you are my God! I will most definitely be keeping you posted 😊😊
Just from reading the title I almost cried. You're a strong woman and the pressure turned you into a diamond. I'm going through that same "what the heck" realisation moment you did at 18 and hopefully I can come out strong as well.
Lada you have one of the most touching and inspirational stories I've ever seen on YT. Thank you for relating to others and sharing your story!
Thank you so much for sharing. I am encouraged to keep going and never look back.
I am sitting here with tears in my eyes! I am truly grateful for you giving this message!!! I am truly inspired!!!
such an inspiration! God bless you more.
I just wanna say this is the most inspiring thing I've heard in a long time, as a currently lost 22 year old I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life until recently- which is to be a nurse, and I felt like it was too late for me. But after watching this, you've lifted my hopes more than anything lately. Thank you, your success has inspired me!!
girl i swear I am crying while watching your video because I'm close to giving up advancing my career. You are giving me hope. Thank you for these videos!
The only way you will ever achieve your dreams - is to KEEP GOING. I wanted to quit so many times. I thank God I hung in there. Just keep swimming Jamie❤️
I feel like i was brought to this video for a reason, thank you so much!! I'm 25, single mom of 2, working as a cna & have been talking about the lpn forever....Again, thank you so so much!! Truly touched me ❤❤ god bless you
I’m crying as I type this... You’re such an inspiration and your story definitely touched my heart! I have been searching for a motivational story I could relate to, and I am happy to have came across your channel. I’m 29 year old single mom who works full-time, and I am aspiring to become a RN/RD... Everyday, my supposed graduation date (2012) saddens my spirits because this educational journey of mine seems never-ending... Life happened, and it knocked me down one too many times. It stresses me out to know that I can only move at a slow and steady pace given my circumstances and obligations outside of school. Although I often feel discouraged, I never allow myself to lose my focus. Giving up and settling for an alternative lifestyle seems so much easier to do, but I too do not want to live with regrets of not finishing as I have a burning fire inside that keeps me moving forward. I had an epiphany, as you mentioned in your brief memoir about your breaking point. Hearing your story gives me hope knowing you endured your struggles and succeeded through the many obstacles thrown at you. Just knowing that you made it through gives me so much HOPE. I‘d like to be as balanced, humble and determined as you are in this noble profession. I will definitely continue to move forward as you did. Thank you for sharing. :)
Wow! I love your comment Lola! I moved at a slow pace too, and guess what...
I still made it to my destination, and you will too!
I tend to tell people I took the "scenic" route (CNA, LPN, ASN, BSN, MSN) because I decided that I would stop thinking about "time" and just chase my dreams until I reached them. As long as I am here, I have the opportunity to make my dreams a reality.
So let go of 2012, and plan your NEW graduation date.
Look to the future, my friend✨
wow so encouraging, NURSING SCHOOL HERE I COME!!!
Just came across your videos and I’m a new subbie. The title got me because I’m 20 and I’m a new mom with a 2 month old. I took this semester of college off to care for my son. I dated his father for 2.5 years and we just broke up. But I’m a nursing major and I plan to go on and get my doctorate. Seeing and hearing you share your story, reminds me I can do it! 🙏🏽👏🏽😊
you are such an inspiration...you are exactly where I see myself at in the next 3years( a nurse practitioner)... I was a teen mom when i had my daughter( 18 years old to be exact)...my breaking point hit when Ive seen all of friends going off to college having fun while i was at home raising my daughter on a minimum wage salary...I wanted more for us so I enrolled into a junior college...It was so hard raising her while going through college...but I stayed determined and focus and most importantly continue to put god first🙌...now I just finished up my first year of nursing school going in my second year this fall...Ill be graduating in the summer of 2018 as registered nurse...keep up with these motivational videos...they are so inspiring
Nurse Lada, your not only an inspiration to your daughter, who is lucky enough to have you as a mother, but as a mid teenager, you have truly inspired me as well! I had so many doubts about myself and I was full of fears. I now know that anything is possible if your committed and are willing to work really hard for your dreams. Thank you for the inspiration once again ❤️
Your story helped me not give up on life. I’ve been in a dark place the last few years but hearing your story helped shine a light back into my life thank you for sharing your story
you are the sweetest most genuine person i have even encountered on youtube don't ever stop making these videos so informative and inspirational! congratulations on all of your hard earned success
I’m happy I watched this video. I am where you where when you decided “there’s nothing that can stop me”
I have faced every obstacle trying to become a nurse and every time theres a road block I take another route but by the grace of god I WILL GET THERE ! My girls will look at me one day and realize they want to be just like me. Thank you for this
This part right here ‘don’t think about how long it will take, time will past by anyway’’´ 🙌🏾. I’m 40 and I’m considering the NP program but I was thinking the program is too long. This is my words of encouragement. ❤
Hello Shavion!
The average NP program is around 2 years or so. In two years no matter what you do - you will be 42 years old.
Why not be a 42 year old NP 🤷🏾♀️
The time will pass anyway. The only thing we have control over is 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦.
Follow your dreams ☁️
I absolutely love your attitude and your passion for success!!! I remember My Day, too. You're an inspiration to me! Thank you for sharing your story!
I am currently going to school for nursing and will be applying to Nursing schools real soon. I came from a family that was really financially unstable. Girl you are so inspiring and so amazing. LOVED your story!!
Thank you Megan! It's not about where you start, all you need is a burning desire... : )
Thank you so much for this video! I'm 24, and I haven't started my nursing classes yet. I've been through a lot of bumps, and stop signs in my life, but I've been working towards starting over again. I'm set on nursing school even though I have people doubting me. Watching this video reminded me to always go after my dreams and ambitions in life. Because at the end of the day, I'm the only one in control of my life choices.
I just became a CNA I feel like it's a great start for me since I want to be a Nurse one day.
I LOVE THE MESSAGE IN THIS VIDEO!! I THANK GOD FOR BLESSING US WITH YOU LADA!! PRAISE GOD 🙏🏾🙏🏾 WE HAVE THE ABILITY AND POWER TO PURSUE OUR BEST LIVES!
Wow. This touched my heart. I felt so vulnerable releasing this video. I put it off, i was scared, I cried…. But I felt obligated to share my testimony. God made it clear to me that someone needed it.
Thank you 😭 🤍✨
@@DrLada ❤
Thank you I needed this!!! I will be taking my teas test tomorrow to enter the lvn program!!!
I won't say good luck because when you have prepared well, you don't need luck.
I hope you have a huge celebration after you pass this exam. This is just the beginning!!!! Excited for you💖
Having crazy water works right now, I'm currently a senior in high school struggling in believing myself with everything really. I haven't passed any of my ap exams, I scored low on my sat, not a straight A's student like all my friends, scared I won't go to college etc but with your videos I know I can work hard and pass all 5 ap exams this year for sure and prepare for the future with the best hard working attitude as possible! So glad I came across this video
Ennie, can you honestly say you have given 1000% towards your study time and preparin for exams? Have you given your personal best?
If the answer is no - you know what to do. Focus. This is your future.
Now, you have an advantage - you're young and you're still in high school. You can do great things with your life, and I know you are capable because you wouldn't be looking at motivational videos if you didn't care. Fight for this. Fight for your future.
Write down your goals and demolish them.
I am excited for you because I can tell from your comment you are ready for change.
Anything is possible if you work for it✨💖
Oh my goodness, looking back at my comment 2 years ago! Update: I became a CNA at 17, finished my nursing pre reqs within a year and half, and applied to nursing school for this fall 2020! I’m waiting for my acceptance, and I always get so emotional coming back to this video. I just wanted to say hi Nurse Lada, thanks for always inspiring me! I’m hoping everything works out!
You are such an inspiration! I am a single mom of two in my last year of RN school. I aspire to be a nurse practitioner as well. I really connected with your story and your story gave me a little more of a push to keep going and follow my dreams. Thank you!
You are seriously amazing. Not a lot of people have the will to put in all that work. Very inspiring!
Nurse Lada, you are just beautiful inside and out, what an inspirational story. You have helped me decide that I want to be a nurse practitioner. I was a college drop out and I am now an icu nurse and I am simply so grateful for the life I get to live.continue to spread your positive energy and inspire!
I had a similar education career minus the teen pregnancy hardship. I got married young and moved twice and each move set me back. I did an Associates in Arts while trying to get my pre reqs for a BSN, didn't get into RN school until my third time applying, did an ADN, then a year later I did the RN-BSN bridge with my hospital while working nights at UT Arlington. I went straight to the FNP after the BSN and had lots of bumps with the masters... 2 babies, 2 surgeries from child birth injuries, and 4 years of slow and painful FNP studying. I graduated in May 2016. It was so hard, but I knew I wanted to do it so I just kept at it.
I truly needed this. I am currently in that spot of hating my life and truly wanting more out of my life. Ive always wanted to be a RN but never had the confidence I needed. Ive had failed attempts with school in the past...I am a CNA and Ive recently applied to RN associates program. I do have long term goals to further my education once I obtain my RN. I have a baby and a 5 year old that really has motivated me to change my life as now is time and my confidence has really built up. Thank you so much for sharing your story. You have brought me so much inspiration. I am thankful I came across your video.
Thank you! As a young mother, almost taken over by drugs and a rotten lifestyle. I have found God and recovery. I have just started my journey this summer to become a RN. I almost gave up on my dreams but God is carrying me forward. This was very motivating. God bless you for sharing your story. ❤
I really needed to hear this. I just quit my job to start nursing school, plus I have no house and almost all the nursing videos talk about how bad the career is. My husband supports me going to school but he thinks I’m a fool sometimes and wants to leave. I felt like I was ready to quit life because everyday is a fight. You get so fed up, but listening to you really helps. I will do this and I will love it. God bless
Amazing testimony!! Brought tear to my eyes! God is good. :)
Thank you so much for this, i am inspired,I want to change my life too. I failed my first dosage exam. but im not gonna give up. I really needed this .
Thank you so Much! I basically cried most of the video. I just finished my first semester of pre-reqs for Nursing School after a huge life change. This video is a culmination of all the feelings I've had the last few years. Thank you Nurse Lada for sharing your story:)
Awww! You're welcome. I am so happy for you Lesly! Your journey has began❤️
