    As a nurse, my best advice for nursing students is nothing is more important than asking questions. If you’re not comfortable with a situation, performing a skill, or following an order, ASK. Your license and a patient’s life is on the line, and it’s better to take a little extra time to be cautious than do things you don’t 100% understand. I ask questions all the time and I learn new things every day.

    I'm an RN nurse with a Bachelor's and I feel like I lucked out with a low stress nursing job: pediatric home healthcare, night shift nursing. My agency is only reimbursed by Medicare, so I don't get paid high or anything, but livable. It consists of me going to a child's home in the evenings, giving them meds and getting them ready for bed, and then aside from taking vital signs and turning them every couple hours, I sit back and watch movies or play games on my phone for most of the night. Since it's low stress, it allows me to put more of my energy into taking care of my little girl so my wife can go to the office in a higher stress job.

    Thank you for giving an accurate picture of what getting a nursing degree looks like. I’m a pediatric nurse and love my job. But can’t deny that only 6 years in, I’m a little burnt out. I hope more people consider nursing, we need more nurses!

    I have been a nurse for four years and I can't recommend it enough. It's a hard job that pays quite well in any city in the US. The jobs are plentiful, engaging, and are varied in roles and responsibility. Not to mention, it's one of the few jobs that after two years you can hit the road and travel to essentially anywhere you want to and make a fine living. And finally, you will make an impact on many lives. You may not remember the patients, but I can assure you they'll remember you.

    My biggest advice to those interested in nursing is to start as a CNA first so you can get a feel for the healthcare system and patients - it'll make the transition to nursing much easier, and it'll help you decide ahead of time what kind of setting or specialty you might be interested in later on.

    I love the upbeat optimism trying to balance with the reality, however people please go and talk to people in the field, preferably a lot of people. People with families & kids especially if you want to go into this & want a family & kids.
    Also meditate on the brutal realities of the job: it's messy, it's gross sometimes, it's grueling the amount of paperwork needs done and the expection of its importance in comparison to actually helping people. Hospitals are a business, and they run like one. Time to complete admin responsibilities is often not readily given & the phrase, "Just figure it out" when being given tasks and not enough time to do them is an every day thing. Unsafe ratios of nurses to patients is a normal every day occurrence & there are often reprisals for refusing to do things unsafely because it was better business for the hospital. Those realities and more are making hospital work collapse from the inside out right now.
    It is a grueling, hard, often unthanked & forgotten job. They are the most important, & the least appreciated. There is a reason we are in a shortage right now, a lot of people are quiting because they can't take the working conditions anymore, benefits are being stripped away, nurses are on strike, pay & staffing levels are insufficient with hospitals refusing to acknowledge the problem or change. This career is fighting for the health & wellbeing of its members while collapsing from the stress.
    I don't say this to scare anyone, it is a high paying, in demand, recession proof job, but please know the realities before you go in & it affects your mental health for the rest of your life.

    Great summary! Just my experience, I got my Associate degree at community college. I started working and went on to BSN and am now working on my master's. I have been working part time, which is two 12 hour shifts a week, and am paid $38 per hour +4 per hour for nights and +2 dollars per hour if its a weekend (in Colorado). Prior to going to nursing school, I had my EMT and worked as an ED tech prior to graduation which was a fantastic background for nursing school.

    There is a difference between and DNP and a PhD in nursing from what I’ve seen. PhD seems to be more for clinical side/education/research. DNP, from my understanding, is for if you want to keep working in a hospital setting.

      Where I am in Canada, there are different masters and doctorate streams for advanced education. Education, research or clinical practice/NP (also divided into adult, child or mixed). So you are a NP after getting licensed as one, with a min of masters in nursing- clinical practice stream.

    While I love this series and positive light you put on nursing. LPNs are much more than a step up from CNAs and "monitoring BP and collecting samples", as both of those tasks can be done by CNAs. LPNs do the same job as RNs with the exception of a handful of tasks that are out of our scope such as administering push IV medications, mixing IV medications, and pronouncing someone deceased. In the setting of a nursing home or skilled facility they do the same job day in and day out. LPNs can work in doctors offices, nursing homes, and some hospital specialties such as Med Surg, Emergency Department, Labor and Delivery, Dialysis clinics, etc. Don't get me wrong getting your RN is amazing and opens up more job opportunities specialty wise in the hospital setting, both LPNS and RNs take the NCLEX at the end of the day. LPNs make up a huge and very necessary part of the nursing field, I wish there was more accuracy on their roles. Great video overall, thank you.

  • @veganbatman

    some inside baseball for those at home: 1) a BSN and ADN both can take 4+ years because you need to complete 2y of pre requirements before even applying to both. the disparity in hiring ADN prepared nurses continues to widen the racial & socioeconomic gap in nursing and is ultimately detrimental to the workers and the profession 2) since nursing schools are competitive it is best to apply everywhere, community colleges and 4 year degrees alike, and then choose where you want to go 3) while the NCLEX touts that it is the basis for testing safe nursing care, it is not. I have worked with many great student nurses who provided excellent safe care but failed. the NCLEX tests your ability to understand written English while taking a complicated test. even with doing well in all your classes, studying for the NCLEX mainly involves practicing hundreds to thousands of questions so your brain can learn how these questions are asked 4) depending on your location even though we need more nurses, it can also be incredibly competitive to get a job with your degree & no experience 4) don't count out home health and hospice! that's all I have for now

I am taking my intro to anatomy and physiology class next year 2024. I want to be a LVN. I can't afford to attend an accelerated BSN program. My long term goal is to become a pediatric nurse. Getting into Nursing school hasn't been easy. And I'm still not in Nursing school yet.

    As a 20 year, retired critical care, dialysis, psych, and travel nurse, my advice is.. don't become a nurse unless you enjoy cut throat office politics, jumping through endless hoops, tolerating both abusive and incompetent doctors brainwashed and bought-out by BigPharma to further fund their lifestyles, being overworked and constantly stressed to your breaking point to provide bare minimum care to your patients who require far more than you can possibly provide, navigating irate and litigious family drama, avoiding being co-worker back-stabbed or being outsourced and replaced at a moment's notice in order to hire someone $2 cheaper an hour while the hospital CEO and top administrative staff take lavish vacations, mandated repeat toxic vaccine regiments meant to "protect you and your patients," yet you're all sicker and dying more than ever before as mortality rates prove, and suffering PTSD, depression, and suicidal ideation...
    Other than that, it's great
