this is so close to my situation. I went to college didnt know what I wanted to be. Graduated with a crappy GPA worked in the pharmaceutical companies for awhile. I decided to take all the required courses to get into nursing school by going to a community college, it took me 4 years to complete this. Because I worked full time and went to school at night and paid for the tuition out of pocket. I ended up taking two nursing entrance exams, Hesi and the ATEAS test. I applied to 30 schools and I got accepted to one. I am currently enrolled in nursing school and I graduate next spring, its hard to believe I have survived this. But if you want something bad enough you will do it.
Probably another piece of advice I can give to other people is when the people in your life does not support the career you want. They do not support your hopes and dreams, I hope you dont listen. Please go after whatever you dream and so passionately want to be. Because I went at this journey alone, I went through a divorce and among other life changing events and I could of stopped in the middle of it all even during nursing school. But I didnt and for alll of those people that were against I will succeed and they can live with the fact they had nothing to do with it, and I will get to live with all the benefits of my hard work. So again if you want something bad enough you will do whatever it takes to make it happen.
I wanted to give another update. I passed my NCLEX on November 2nd. I am officially an RN BSN (nurse). I have gotten a job in the south and moved and started a new job a new career in a new state. I hope my story along with Karlas inspired someone to start this journey.
Girl, you got me in tears. I can do all things in Christ!!! I've dreamed of becoming a nurse since i was like 5 and i feel discouraged by grades. You can do this. You've come as far as you have girl. God bless!! Please keep us posted.
Omg this is my exact situation. I’ve been trying to get into a nursing program for years. I have all my pre reqs done but my gpa isn’t high enough. I almost gave up, but I just applied to a new school. Wish me luck! Great video!
Girl!!!!! The exact same thing that was said to you was said to me 3 different times and I cried hard every time. I’m still struggling to get into school but I won’t stop and I won’t let no little advisor who are not nurses tell me about my life and tell me I’m too stupid for nursing school
If nursing is for you its for you! Don't let anyone tell you different 🖤 I started in August and it's a rollercoaster but I can tell you'll be fine! Always remember why you are doing it when you need motivation.
I’m currently a Medical Assistant, I been thinking of Nursing too; but Honestly I feel I’m not smart sometimes.. plus it’s just so ridiculous why there are so mane pre-reqs
I FELT THIS! I cried with you girl. I’m 29 doing my prereqs and hoping by August 2022 I’ll be able to get into nursing school. I feel like since I’m older I can learn things easier but I’m still doubting if I’m doing the right thing. Only time will tell. Thank you so much for this video! Please keep sharing your experiences 💕
You’re doing the right thing.. I started doing my prerequisites at 28yrs.. failed teas 2 times but am now 30 and I just got accepted into the program.. so just keep what you’re doing
It’s like a sign from the universe that I keep getting recommended these inspiring journeys to become a nurse. Girl when you cried, I cried. I felt this so hard. Recently had to drop anatomy because I was most likely gonna end with a C and at the schools I want to apply to C’s get 0 points in the admission process so I’ve been feeling pretty defeated. I’m going to retake it next semester and pray for the best because I want to be a nurse more than anyone could ever understand. Thank you for giving me hope and truly inspiring me !
I am so happy that you still became a nurse! Because that kind of advisor isn't a real advisor, she is supposed to e supportive and help you get to be a nurse. My advisor, when I went to community college, helped me try to get there and got me take the classes I needed to get there. Even though I backed out of community college because it wasn't what I was looking for. I was the same as you after I left, thought I could just work and not worry about school until I realized years later that I do want to be a nurse too so I decided that I wanted to go to vocational school instead! But everyone is proud of you that you followed your heart and you finally got the career you wanted. I subscribed to you today and your videos are so helpful, and they inspire me even more! I can't wait to start nursing school and become an LPN! Thank you so much! ❤️🤗 You are doing great! 😊
This is a God sent I just started my prereq. I'm feeling hopeful I had a not so well GPA but I'm I'm trusting God I will pass every test thanks for the video
I teared up a little when you cried 😭 anyways you remind me of myself especially when you said “once something is in your head it doesn’t leave” and that’s exactly how I am once I have my mind set on something I don’t stop until I get it . This video gave me motivation and to remember don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you really want to do. I really want to be a nurse so I’m going to get into it and not stop until there is rn next to my name . Thank you so much for sharing your story!!!!! I wish you success ❤️
I've been watching your videos since deciding I wanted to become a nurse. I'm happy to say I just got into Nursing school :) Thank you for inspiring me!
I can relate, I doubted myself for so long, cause everyone told me I was dumb and just got my LPN licensing one term away from finishing my RN prayers for me
I can relate. Years ago when I attempted my nursing prerequisites my instructor told me to pick a different career. Fast-ward now in my late 20s I stopped letting other people’s opinion direct my future now I’m passing my prerequisites with As and Bs, not to mention my A&P passed my A&P 2 with an A. I apply this fall. My early 20s just wasn’t the right time for me to even be in college lol. But I have also learned the hard way, that no one is you, they don’t know your capabilities, and I stopped letting other people’s opinion based on their own capabilities affect my goals or plans. Yes nursing can be hard for some, but doesn’t mean it will be for someone else. Yes most get rejected from nursing school, but that’s them not you. I wish I had my mentality now back then.
Great video! Your story relates to me and inspires me so much! I started university right after highschool in a program that my parents wanted me to do (biomedical sciences). I had no passion or desire for it and quickly realized the program wasn't for me but due to cultural pressures, I stayed. I spent the next 2 years trying to cope without telling my parents I was failing a lot of courses and wasn't doing well before I finally decided to withdraw and found the courage to let them know (IN MY FOURTH YEAR). I always had a passion for help ing others and knew nursing was what I wanted to do from early on. After getting rejected 3 times into different nursing programs because of my low GPA, I was so close to giving up. My twin sister seemed to be doing so well and felt like I was a let down to my family. Just last week, I woke up to an email saying I finally got accepted into nursing for September 2020. I'm so excited for this new journey! There's 2 things I've learned through this experience- everything happens in it's time and it's never too late to do what you love
Aww that’s amazing, congratulations on getting accepted! I couldn’t agree more, everything happens in the right time. After every struggle, disappointments, and tears. Everything makes sense and just like that, you’re in the right path. Congratulations again!
may i ask what school? we’re in the same situation i’m in college grades were horrible 😩 i’m looking for schools i have a chance at getting accepted in, even with my schooling history
I just got into nursing school after failing RN school 2x before. I’m a LPN now but wanted to be a RN so bad so I never gave up because it’s my biggest dream😭Thank you for motivating me to keep pushing through. I know I can do it in Jesus name!
Girl, you're literally me. I truly needed this video because right now, I was so indecisive about pursuing a career in Nursing. I've done medical since I was 19 (I'm about to be 24 soon) and I was so discouraged by it. I would take frequent breaks from school and from working in the medical field, but I never saw myself wanting to go for in any other degree. I would always ask myself, "Is this truly what you want to do?" or "Could you actually do this?" And for a fact, it is something I see myself doing for the rest of my life. I was never the best student also but right now I'm busting my ass in school so I can apply to the nursing school of my dreams. Thank you so much Karla for this video, this was literally the inspiration I needed and you truly are an inspiration sis!
I am glad I came across your video at this time. I am a CNA full time and go to community college full time. I too am afraid that I will not be accepted, after watching your video, it gave me so much hope and makes me not want to quit even if I get rejected. Thank you
I can relate to the advisor story. I’ve been trying to build up my gpa with taking all these pre reqs for nursing and I decided to finally meet up with an advisor to see the next step and she nearly made me cry in front of her. Since it’s community school you don’t have a set advisor (at least for me) so the first one basically told me to do one thing while the one I was seeing now had a whole different plan. She told me that I am no competition to the other students and to just give up at this point. Word for word. Since then my motivation hasn’t been great and that moment is engraved in my head but I am still trying to make it to nursing school. This gave me a little bit of hope
I’m sorry that happened to you. You should use that as a positive thing. For me, every time I would remember the advisor telling me to just chose a different career, it would help me to keep going, to prove myself that she was wrong. I hope you continue with your dream regardless of all the struggles. You can do anything.
OMG!! I really needed this so much. I am a senior in high school and all of my 4 years I did hella bad. Now, that I am a senior I regretted it. I am currently applying for colleges and I got my first denial. I was so hurt and it made me doubt myself even more I have a very low self esteem and I hate it. All of my friends are an A’s student and I am no were near that. There was times were I thought I didn’t fit in with them until now. I can relate so much on this video. My counselor also told me that she doesn’t think I’ll have any chance to be a nurse due to my grades. This video gives me so much hope and faith it also keeps me motivated. Thank you so much.
Literally made me Cry!!!! I have been balling this entire video. I just want to get into the RN program so bad, I am a mother of 3 and I just want them to be proud of me.
This is so so inspirational. When I was 5 I remember I used to play doctor on my mom and dad. My mother died at age 8 and that even motivated me even more. I wanted to live for my mom and become what she couldn’t. I went to high school and doubted myself SO much. I thought I was too dumb to even apply. After high school I applied and got in (but their acceptance rate is like 95%) I’m at a community college now and will graduate in Spring 2021. As of right now, it’s just getting myself to finally go!! Stay safe everyone. (:
Love how genuine this video is. I’ve dealt with the same thing, had a counselor tell me I can only get into adn programs and that I basically wouldn’t be able to pass anatomy. I’ve had someone close to me tell me I won’t get into any nursing programs. I worked full time jobs while going to school full time so my gpa isn’t what most schools need. So I appreciated this video and how honest it was, because it does give me some motivation to keep pushin through! You’re awesome!
I began to doubt myself but I came across your video and I am inspired. Thank you for being an inspiration. I will continue to strive to be a nurse. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
your story is so incredible and inspiring to me. I am currently a freshman at a community college and my first semester i literally had no purpose, and i took which ever classes i was suggest to take. I took college algebra (passed with a B), English 120 (passed with an A) and italian 120 which i also passed with an A. I was too afraid to go to a UC because i didn’t want to leave my mom and sister behind but then i realized that i wanted to have a purpose in life. i always knew i wanted to be a nurse since i was 14 but i was scared to commit due to self doubt and a lack of support from my mom. it took me 2 months ago to realize what i truly want for myself bc whichever decision i end up taking will affect ONLY me, not my mom nor anyone. i needed to secure my future and most importantly protect my dream, no matter the sacrifices i have to make. now i know for certain that i want to become a CRNA and i must complete so many pre- requisites before the fall of 2022, because that’s when i plan to transfer to my dream school, UCLA. I have to get into UCLA first and finally submit my application to the UCLA school of nursing program. My counselor also told me that nursing school will be hard and i could sense some doubt in her voice about me getting in but i’m motivated more than ever to prove her wrong and show her that anything is possible if i work extremely hard this year, and so i’m hoping to take 3 summer classes to finish quick and another 4 this fall. 🤍 i know i can do this, but sometimes i doubt myself of whether i’m smart enough and i compare myself to the other transfer students who are competing against me for the position and are most likely more intelligent than i am. I just hope that in the end i end up being accepted into UCLA and the school of nursing. your story touched me unlike any other and now i have twice the encouragement i so looked for and needed. i’m happy that you’re finally where you’ve always wanted to be. wish me luck! 🤍
Oh girl, I just came across this video randomly because it popped up on my feed, and I HAVE to tell you, I have so much fucking respect for you. I am currently an LVN finishing up my second to last semester doing my pre requisites and this just gives me even more motivation to try harder. Shoutout to you girl! You really did THAT.
Good for you girl! Chasing your dreams and making them a reality! When I was in community college, I'm pretty sure the adviser questioned if I really wanted to be a veterinary technician. I was already working as one! but I needed my license. She talked me out of it. Are advisers supposed to be dream killers?! I graduated with an A.s. in psych. And eventually got my bachelor in psych. Anywho my adviser for nursing school is super supportive, I feel like he goes above and beyond his job description. I'm applying for nursing school in a few weeks! 🤞
We have the same story, i got emotional too because i have to work extra hard to get to my goal since i failed all my other classes when i first got out of high school. But when there’s a will there is a way. I have had straight A’s since i decided to be a nurse. We are all smarter & more capable than we think, sometimes all we need is a goal we’re passionate about & the willingness to work your ass off.
Glad you decided to make this video. As simple as it is, it could help a lot of people doubting themselves. Also, do not apologize for being emotional, is part of being a human. Good luck! keep it up!!! (:
Hi, Wow!! I am so glad I stumbled upon your video! Girl, this is exactly what happened to me too. I was so excited to see this counselor because she was African American and I instantly felt like she would have my back after I gave her my story. And she said the exact same thing, told me to look into “behind the scenes positions” and “aim lower”….. counselors really have no idea how much power they hold in their words. Thank god my aunt became a counselor at this same school and took me all the way through obtaining my bachelors in Gerontology and now I’m applying for masters in nursing as a Deans Honors student. I almost want to go back and talk to that counselor and tell her not to destroy a person doing their best to succeed. I’m just proud of you! Thank you for this video. I’m curious what you did for you admission statement?
Watching your video I realized how much you and I are similar and watching you video it has definitely given confidence in continuing my journey. I have been currently studying for the teas exam for the past month and a half and my exam is next week. Wish me luck. Thank you for the boost. I needed to hear this
1st of all never apologize for being real! Those genuine emotions are how u connect to people let it show ...we love it. 2nd congratulations on ur triumphs girl u did it and ur doing it and u and ur family should be soo soo proud 💗 3 I would love to see more content abt nursing school Im in a similar boat hoping to apply here in January hopefully I get in
I am currently going to a university and I’m taking the prerequisite classes for the nursing program I’m trying to get into. I just finished the fall semester with a 3.09 GPA and a cumulative 2.3 GPA. I got a C In anatomy, a B in my anatomy lab class, a B in PSY311 child development, and a A in eng101 . I turned in my application for the nursing program 2 weeks ago and will know something in a few months on if I got accepted or not. If I do get accepted I’ll be starting in August of 2023. The reason my cumulative gpa is a 2.3 is because I attended the same university last year and didn’t do great and didn’t like the major I chose. But i decided to come back in 2022 to decide what It is that I really want to do and it was nursing. I’ve never in my life got a 3.0 on anything and I’m super grateful for it. I always just told myself “stick to the plan you knew it wouldn’t be easy” and I’m doing everything possible to get accepted. Chemistry is my biggest problem. But I plan on doing my best, and praying for good news! Always remember you got this ♥️
I really needed this! Thank you. I was told that I had a 20% chance at getting into my program this semester. My interview is in a few weeks and I’m just overwhelmed with anxiety. This really put some fire under my ass!
Im at minute 6 crying because the same thing happened to me today. Its my first year in college, came in undeclared, had a zoom meeting with my couceler and im telling her how i want to go into nursing. She said those exact words about my transcript. Those grades i worked hard to earn had made me happy but she made them to be low and not enough to even get in. I really cried afterwards and doubted myself but i really want to do this and i will, so i completely relate to this and Im glad to see you still made it even through the hardships.
My story is so similar. I'm a single mom of 4. I teared up watching this because my pain is still so raw. I went on youtube and watched hours and hours of study videos for nursing students, It made all the difference because I never had a study background. My word of advice to anyone out there is to keep pushing. Going to school for something you love gives you such motivation to overcome obstacles. Give this gift to yourselves. Love to you
Good advisor will always motivate and push you no matter how hard your situation is.God will open the doors and provide. Your story is so amazing and inspirational.❤️🙏🏻👩🏻⚕️
Omg!! I can relate so much. I did bad in the first few years of college. But I sent my application a week ago, and I’m just telling myself “they will not accept you. There’s no way. Your grades are not acceptable.. Don’t get your hopes up.” 😭😭 I just want to be prepared for the disappointment and heartbreak. Ugh. People tell me I’ve done a lot, that I should be proud, but I still feel like it’s not enough. I doubt myself a lot.
Watching your TH-cam video made me super emotional because i could relate to your exact feelings. Congratulations on being accepted into nursing school. I myself am trying to get into nursing school I’m currently studying for the TEAS exam and have tons of doubts if I’m going to pass or not. Please keep posting your nursing videos on your journey to becoming a nurse it’s really inspiring and informative.
Omg Thankyou so much for this video. You have no idea how much this encouraged me to go for it. I’m 28 and feel so old to go back to school and I’m terrified bc I also feel like “I’m not smart enough” and watching other videos and joining a bunch of nursing Facebook groups has scared the crap out of me, like can I really do this!? And your video and story made me feel so good. Thank you so much. ❤️
I stared nursing school when I was 28, i will graduation when I turn 30 (next year). Age means nothing! And don’t listen to anyone, nursing school is not bad, AT ALL. Trust me.
Thank you for sharing ! I'm a 31 year old ,Mother of a 2,4,&7 year old. I took Nursing Prerequisites before having my 1st daughter. Im currently a CNA. I am researching what RN program fits my life. This is a beautiful, touching video.
Wow feel like I found your channel for a reason. My advisor told me I wouldn’t get into my school’s program due to some of my grades. But today I had a talk with my aunt (who is a nurse) & she told me not to let anyone or anything stop me. Her words plus yours is the motivation I needed 🙏🏽❤️
This video popped up on my feed and I’m so glad it did!! I really needed to hear this Bc I’ve been so hard on myself lately. and I’m so happy for you! You’re gonna be an amazing nurse! Can’t wait to watch your nursing serious. Definitely subscribing now!!
Thank you so much for this video! Honestly the first video on getting into nursing school that I can really relate to. I know this is old but I really needed to hear this! ❤️
This was a beautiful testimony, and we thank you for sharing it! I was sitting here ready to cry right along with you. I am so happy that you're working toward your goal of becoming a nurse. I am about to begin my journey, so listening to your story was very inspiring. I'm sure many of us will have similar stories but it just makes us better nurses and shows that we are following the path God has planned for us. Wishing you all the best, and continue to share your journey with us!
Thank you for this video. It was really well told and it really helped me to put my head back in the game. Like you said we shouldn't doubt ourselves before we've even tried. Thank you for giving me the push.
I genuinely finally decided to pursue nursing last month and getting ready for pre-requisites. Part of the reason I am so terrified of nursing is that I don’t think I’m smart enough. In high school I was always a B+ or A student but I am TERRIFIED that I won’t be good enough and I don’t want to hurt anyone in the process. I’m also a DACA recipient so I’ll be paying for school out of pocket or with a personal loan. This video just gave me the strength to keep pushing. Thank you 💜
Girl you had me crying left and right and I was doing my makeup lol ☹️☹️☹️ I’m so proud of you! I’m happy you’re chasing your dream. I was also a bad student and since I started community college I’ve been getting good grades I was so proud! Im also going to school for nursing school but I won’t be done with my classes till next year unless something takes over me and I take more next semester Lol but I learned that also the slow worm wins the race.
Wow I relate so much to this! Similar story of mine and I'm grateful to finally be able to achieve my dream and start the nursing program in January! And graduate 2022!! ❤️ I cried hearing you talk about this because this hits home! I'm in the last course before starting the program January which is patho and I doubt myself every other day!!😭 but I pray I get through this because core is just a few weeks ago. I go to West Coast University.
Karla I literally had the same situation with advisor telling me medical path wasn't for me but I didn't quit and now i'm hoping for my acceptance letter in the next few days excited to see more of your videos!
You are so inspiring. I have been doubting myself so much lately and its been hard to keep working towards my dream but you are proof that it is possible even when the world itself is against you. I am so happy for you and can’t wait to see where your career takes you. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
You’re such an inspiration💕 I’m applying this fall and I’m so scared I won’t get in. I have a 3.4 gpa. My science gpa is pretty good but I’m scared it’s not enough. Please pray and wish me lucky. Good luck to everyone else.
Omg!!! I’m like in the exact boat and your story is sooooo like mine. I’ve quit medical assisting, I wanted to go for business and I totally did not like it. And now I am trying to start nursing as I have always wanted. And you inspired me all the way!!! Thank you very much girl!! I really like your videos!!! I’m new to your channel and love them! 😊😊
Just subscribed! You made me cry so much 😭 I’m in the same situation. My school considers a 3.6 gpa as competitive, and I have to get at least an 80 on the HESI. I have a 3.7 right now, and I haven’t taken the HESI yet, and I am scared that my gpa will go down. I am literally just trying to get myself out of this hole....
Cc Counselors are the WORST. I went through the similar process. My first semester of college he told me that with my C in algebra I would not get in. From there it all went downhill my pre-req grades were crap because I thought so negative. And then you have everyone in these clases who had 4.0s and super rude and competitive. I had really good grades in the clases that that weren’t pre-reqs. Once I graduated with my AA I realized that nursing is my calling however with a 3.0 my only way of getting in was a private university. I got in and am starting core in January. I hope to make good grades finally now that I am truly passionate about it. Thank you for your story, you are so incredibly inspirational to me.
I had my nursing school interview yesterday and I am self-doubting and dwelling right now. I felt like I did great, but there's always that doubt. I find out at the end of February...I am going crazy!
This video is so great. I’m an LNA right now and considering nursing school but I’ve never thought I was smart enough and have really low self confidence but this is really inspirational for me.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I doubt myself everyday continuously asking myself if I am smart enough for this profession. There will be some days I am confident and then there are some days I think I am the dumbest person on earth. Thank you again for sharing. I literally had tears coming out of my eyes listening to you.
this is one of my favorite videos from you! you are so genuine, and say things so well. I sit there and think wow thats what I felt, I feel, I been there wanting to give up and so forth. Please keep posting. You are a gem.
I think it’s so awesome that u were so honest and upfront. You look mean but we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. It’s awesome that u decided to do this video, this was really helpful. My dream is to be in the program but there are so many things holding me back . Congratulations on this milestone!
OMG, I needed this. These are my exact thoughts. I did pass micro with a B, but I have yet to get in. I applied last March and was rejected. I have so much self doubt, the exact same feelings as you. Thank you for this!! There is hope.
Omg your whole story spoke to me, I swear we have similar situations. You made me cry something serious lol because I’m honestly going thru it now. Im trying to get in nursing school now. I need to take the TEAS Test and I have been so afraid to take this test because of what ppl tell im not smart enough or ill never make it. God went me hear to watch this.🙏🏾Thank you for your story I needed to watch this😢🤗👌🏾
Olivia levine Don’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t do! Go after your dream and show them what you’re capable of, but most importantly do for yourself 🤍 good luck beautiful!
out of all the videos I've watched you were beyond the most motivating. I am so happy for you and I am now even more excited to start my nursing journey!
I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. Let me tell you girl I’m so proud of you!! I went to a city college and and advisor told me the same thing, was it at Daley? Lmao! I literally went to my car and Kim Kardashian ugly cried for like an hour. I felt so defeated and she did break me because it took me YEARS to get to school. I’ve been an Ma for 12 years and I love what I do but have always wanted to be a nurse. Hoping to go to the school you attend in January. Good luck sweetie!!!
Ive gone through something similar. Superrr similar. Reapplying to nursing school in february, can't wait to come back and tell you about my acceptance. Thank you for you vulnerability, you will be a great nurse!!
Your thought process is how mine is,”... I ACED Micro...that must have been a fluke... I Aced that too!? 🤔” don’t doubt yourself, you are very capable of doing it all! Love you story
You remind me so much of Becky G, so Gorgeous! I'm a pre-nursing student who is deciding to switch careers so I have no medical experience. I plan on leaving my current job to focus on school and I am taking the biggest leap of faith because I am also a mom/wife who provides for the family. Lately I have been battling whether to follow my dream and go straight for the ADN program at my community college or to take a step back and start off with the LPN program. My area has so many applicants that I know it's already super competitive! I'm wondering if doing a bridge program LPN to ADN might be the best route? The advisors/counselors i've spoken to, haven't been the most encouraging and have made suggestions on looking at other options than nursing. I know with all my heart this is what I want and what I am made to do. I'm trying to stay as positive as possible and trusting God to lead my way. Good Luck to everyone also on their journey to becoming a Nurse!
Girl.... I just failed my prereq course for my nursing program....fast paced nursing program. I am crying watching your video. It’s too bad some people in my class passed by cheating and made it to the core program. It sucks... I might turn to community college route now. Ugh 😩
My same situation right now 😪 my advisor told me last semester to change my major and I went into deep depression and I’m still battling this right now. I’m still doing my science classes
Giselle Huerta don’t listing to anybody! You will have a lot of doors close, and it’s going to be very discouraging. But you have wanted more than anything. I went through the same thing, and look at me now, I graduate next year 💃🏽
Wow this video helped me so much you have no idea. I’m in the same situation right now struggling but I know it’s ideally what I want to do it’s just a lot harder for me when it comes to school. You’re an inspiration so thank you for posting this!
I was studying Dance at first in a community college but then last min I decided to do nursing because I always loved it and used to volunteer in hospitals. Don’t get me wrong, I love dance and studying it was so interesting! But literally last min after 2 years I switched it. The reason I didn’t do it at first was because I feel like I’m not good enough or smart enough but now I know I can do it and I will become a nurse in the future! Thankyou for this video❤️
wow thank you so much for sharing your story...I relate so much...so many people doubted me...even people who i thought were friends and mentors...but here i am I am an RN now. This profession will make you have thick skin, and a caring heart for your patients. Can't wait to see how your nursing journey unfolds
Wow I relate so much to your journey! In high school I didn’t really know what exact program I should choose... although I was always interested in the medical field, but because of my poor science grades my parents didn’t believe in me succeeding in that field :(... So I applied for a business management program and just finished first year of that. However I’m still feeling very uninterested in all of the business courses, they all are boring for me too. 😭 So now I’m finally looking into applying for BScN program at my university, I really hope I get in and I know I can if I actually dO work HARD and study 24/7. Thank you for sharing your journey and giving me more hope that I can really do this too! 🥺🤞🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Wow. I’m going to pursue being an RN this fall. First tome college student I’m 26 w/ three kids. I know for a fact it’s going to be hard. The doubt you talk about, I had/have too. But watching your video really just inspired me to want to push for this ❤️ gracias! ✨✨
I got emotional watching your video. Everyone has a different past which can still lead to a wonderful future. It’s so motivating to know that you never gave up. I have also had closed doors. I believe that I worked hard enough to open one though just as you did. I’m excited to apply for nursing school soon. Congratulations! I’m sure you will continue to do great and become a nurse ❤️❤️
Hi Karla! Thanks for your video! Even though this was a while ago, I can relate to this 100%. I knew I wanted to be in the medical field when I went to college but no one really guided me with resources and things so I ended up switching by major like 4 times and ended up graduating with a BA in Spanish because I had a minor in it and could finish my 4 years with it. Don’t get me wrong, I love Spanish and I love how diverse it is but in my 4 years at college, I really wanted to go into the nursing program the end of my sophomore but I was told I couldn’t do it due to my GPA and grades. I’ve been wanting to finish my pre reqs so I can apply for nursing school but idk what holding me back, could be money or just the anxiety of not doing well. I want to start this summer so I can attend nursing school, I always wanted to be in pediatrics because I love kids and growing up, I loved my pediatrician and nurses but your video gives me hope and the guidance I needed. Thank you for that and I hope everything is going well for you still! God bless!
Omg best video ever !! Inspired me so much but I’m not going for nursing but this video is something I can watch over and over because I’m the same exact way w doubting myself and not being that smart !! Congrats keep pushing
this is so close to my situation. I went to college didnt know what I wanted to be. Graduated with a crappy GPA worked in the pharmaceutical companies for awhile. I decided to take all the required courses to get into nursing school by going to a community college, it took me 4 years to complete this. Because I worked full time and went to school at night and paid for the tuition out of pocket. I ended up taking two nursing entrance exams, Hesi and the ATEAS test. I applied to 30 schools and I got accepted to one. I am currently enrolled in nursing school and I graduate next spring, its hard to believe I have survived this. But if you want something bad enough you will do it.
Probably another piece of advice I can give to other people is when the people in your life does not support the career you want. They do not support your hopes and dreams, I hope you dont listen. Please go after whatever you dream and so passionately want to be. Because I went at this journey alone, I went through a divorce and among other life changing events and I could of stopped in the middle of it all even during nursing school. But I didnt and for alll of those people that were against I will succeed and they can live with the fact they had nothing to do with it, and I will get to live with all the benefits of my hard work. So again if you want something bad enough you will do whatever it takes to make it happen.
I wanted to give an update I did graduate nursing school. I even passed my exit hesi exam. Now its only the NCLEX that is left.
I wanted to give another update. I passed my NCLEX on November 2nd. I am officially an RN BSN (nurse). I have gotten a job in the south and moved and started a new job a new career in a new state. I hope my story along with Karlas inspired someone to start this journey.
Dang 30 schools ima do the same
@@dlspsu2007 YASSSS QUEEEN ❤️
“don’t sit at home watching other people be successful” i really needed to hear that!! this video gave me some much needed motivation ❤️
Girl, you got me in tears. I can do all things in Christ!!! I've dreamed of becoming a nurse since i was like 5 and i feel discouraged by grades. You can do this. You've come as far as you have girl. God bless!! Please keep us posted.
Amen!
Omg this is my exact situation. I’ve been trying to get into a nursing program for years. I have all my pre reqs done but my gpa isn’t high enough. I almost gave up, but I just applied to a new school. Wish me luck! Great video!
Tannya Merary good luck 🙏🏽
Good luck! Did you hear back yet? 🤞
sb u yes!! I passed my exam and I start the nursing program In January!!! Thank you for asking.
@@thepinknurse_ 🥳🥳🎉🎉
My life for the past year and a half! 😭 Hoping to hear some good news from the schools I’ve applied to..
Girl!!!!! The exact same thing that was said to you was said to me 3 different times and I cried hard every time. I’m still struggling to get into school but I won’t stop and I won’t let no little advisor who are not nurses tell me about my life and tell me I’m too stupid for nursing school
Please take a look at my Fundamentals of Nursing Videos
If nursing is for you its for you! Don't let anyone tell you different 🖤 I started in August and it's a rollercoaster but I can tell you'll be fine! Always remember why you are doing it when you need motivation.
I’m currently a Medical Assistant, I been thinking of Nursing too; but Honestly I feel I’m not smart sometimes.. plus it’s just so ridiculous why there are so mane pre-reqs
I FELT THIS! I cried with you girl. I’m 29 doing my prereqs and hoping by August 2022 I’ll be able to get into nursing school. I feel like since I’m older I can learn things easier but I’m still doubting if I’m doing the right thing. Only time will tell. Thank you so much for this video! Please keep sharing your experiences 💕
You’re doing the right thing.. I started doing my prerequisites at 28yrs.. failed teas 2 times but am now 30 and I just got accepted into the program.. so just keep what you’re doing
@@xochitlelowens6341 Thank you so much for the support.
You and I are both in the same boat, age as well, good luck ♥️♥️♥️
@@ashleynicole8366 Thank you, you too!
@Natalie Martinez I’m 25 and currently taking courses for an ABSN program, hopefully starting in January 2022! You can do it girl! Good luck!! 🤍
It’s like a sign from the universe that I keep getting recommended these inspiring journeys to become a nurse. Girl when you cried, I cried. I felt this so hard. Recently had to drop anatomy because I was most likely gonna end with a C and at the schools I want to apply to C’s get 0 points in the admission process so I’ve been feeling pretty defeated. I’m going to retake it next semester and pray for the best because I want to be a nurse more than anyone could ever understand. Thank you for giving me hope and truly inspiring me !
Deya Valle keep pushing girl! You got this ♥️
Please take a look at my Fundamentals of Nursing videos
I am so happy that you still became a nurse! Because that kind of advisor isn't a real advisor, she is supposed to e supportive and help you get to be a nurse. My advisor, when I went to community college, helped me try to get there and got me take the classes I needed to get there. Even though I backed out of community college because it wasn't what I was looking for. I was the same as you after I left, thought I could just work and not worry about school until I realized years later that I do want to be a nurse too so I decided that I wanted to go to vocational school instead!
But everyone is proud of you that you followed your heart and you finally got the career you wanted.
I subscribed to you today and your videos are so helpful, and they inspire me even more! I can't wait to start nursing school and become an LPN! Thank you so much! ❤️🤗
You are doing great! 😊
This video randomly popped up in my recommendations & all I have to say is God sent me here to hear this...🙏🏾😭💕
Please take a look at my Fundamentals of Nursing Videos
This is a God sent I just started my prereq. I'm feeling hopeful I had a not so well GPA but I'm I'm trusting God I will pass every test thanks for the video
goodluck sisterss
This broke my heart hearing how the advisor treated you. I know the feeling. I am so proud to see Latina women rise! You will do great things!! XXO
I teared up a little when you cried 😭 anyways you remind me of myself especially when you said “once something is in your head it doesn’t leave” and that’s exactly how I am once I have my mind set on something I don’t stop until I get it . This video gave me motivation and to remember don’t let anyone stop you from doing what you really want to do. I really want to be a nurse so I’m going to get into it and not stop until there is rn next to my name . Thank you so much for sharing your story!!!!! I wish you success ❤️
I've been watching your videos since deciding I wanted to become a nurse. I'm happy to say I just got into Nursing school :) Thank you for inspiring me!
I can relate, I doubted myself for so long, cause everyone told me I was dumb and just got my LPN licensing one term away from finishing my RN prayers for me
I can relate. Years ago when I attempted my nursing prerequisites my instructor told me to pick a different career. Fast-ward now in my late 20s I stopped letting other people’s opinion direct my future now I’m passing my prerequisites with As and Bs, not to mention my A&P passed my A&P 2 with an A. I apply this fall. My early 20s just wasn’t the right time for me to even be in college lol. But I have also learned the hard way, that no one is you, they don’t know your capabilities, and I stopped letting other people’s opinion based on their own capabilities affect my goals or plans. Yes nursing can be hard for some, but doesn’t mean it will be for someone else. Yes most get rejected from nursing school, but that’s them not you. I wish I had my mentality now back then.
Hanna Cortez I agree! Luckily, it’s never too late to start! I wish you the best of luck ♥️ you got this!
Great video! Your story relates to me and inspires me so much! I started university right after highschool in a program that my parents wanted me to do (biomedical sciences). I had no passion or desire for it and quickly realized the program wasn't for me but due to cultural pressures, I stayed. I spent the next 2 years trying to cope without telling my parents I was failing a lot of courses and wasn't doing well before I finally decided to withdraw and found the courage to let them know (IN MY FOURTH YEAR). I always had a passion for help ing others and knew nursing was what I wanted to do from early on. After getting rejected 3 times into different nursing programs because of my low GPA, I was so close to giving up. My twin sister seemed to be doing so well and felt like I was a let down to my family. Just last week, I woke up to an email saying I finally got accepted into nursing for September 2020. I'm so excited for this new journey! There's 2 things I've learned through this experience- everything happens in it's time and it's never too late to do what you love
Aww that’s amazing, congratulations on getting accepted! I couldn’t agree more, everything happens in the right time. After every struggle, disappointments, and tears. Everything makes sense and just like that, you’re in the right path. Congratulations again!
may i ask what school? we’re in the same situation i’m in college grades were horrible 😩 i’m looking for schools i have a chance at getting accepted in, even with my schooling history
I just got into nursing school after failing RN school 2x before. I’m a LPN now but wanted to be a RN so bad so I never gave up because it’s my biggest dream😭Thank you for motivating me to keep pushing through. I know I can do it in Jesus name!
You’re not a failure until you give up. So keep going, and fight for your dream ♥️
Are you in rn school now ?
@@debbiemai2501 Yes, Im in the 3rd semester of the RN program.
@@DesiMahaRani77 can we get an update?
Girl, you're literally me. I truly needed this video because right now, I was so indecisive about pursuing a career in Nursing. I've done medical since I was 19 (I'm about to be 24 soon) and I was so discouraged by it. I would take frequent breaks from school and from working in the medical field, but I never saw myself wanting to go for in any other degree. I would always ask myself, "Is this truly what you want to do?" or "Could you actually do this?" And for a fact, it is something I see myself doing for the rest of my life. I was never the best student also but right now I'm busting my ass in school so I can apply to the nursing school of my dreams. Thank you so much Karla for this video, this was literally the inspiration I needed and you truly are an inspiration sis!
I am glad I came across your video at this time. I am a CNA full time and go to community college full time. I too am afraid that I will not be accepted, after watching your video, it gave me so much hope and makes me not want to quit even if I get rejected. Thank you
I can relate to the advisor story. I’ve been trying to build up my gpa with taking all these pre reqs for nursing and I decided to finally meet up with an advisor to see the next step and she nearly made me cry in front of her. Since it’s community school you don’t have a set advisor (at least for me) so the first one basically told me to do one thing while the one I was seeing now had a whole different plan. She told me that I am no competition to the other students and to just give up at this point. Word for word. Since then my motivation hasn’t been great and that moment is engraved in my head but I am still trying to make it to nursing school. This gave me a little bit of hope
I’m sorry that happened to you. You should use that as a positive thing. For me, every time I would remember the advisor telling me to just chose a different career, it would help me to keep going, to prove myself that she was wrong. I hope you continue with your dream regardless of all the struggles. You can do anything.
OMG!! I really needed this so much. I am a senior in high school and all of my 4 years I did hella bad. Now, that I am a senior I regretted it. I am currently applying for colleges and I got my first denial. I was so hurt and it made me doubt myself even more I have a very low self esteem and I hate it. All of my friends are an A’s student and I am no were near that. There was times were I thought I didn’t fit in with them until now. I can relate so much on this video. My counselor also told me that she doesn’t think I’ll have any chance to be a nurse due to my grades. This video gives me so much hope and faith it also keeps me motivated. Thank you so much.
I felt you when you said Monday you could want to quit and then Friday you want to be a doctor pre nursing is like that as well
Literally made me
Cry!!!! I have been balling this entire video. I just want to get into the RN program so bad, I am a mother of 3 and I just want them to be proud of me.
This is so so inspirational. When I was 5 I remember I used to play doctor on my mom and dad. My mother died at age 8 and that even motivated me even more. I wanted to live for my mom and become what she couldn’t. I went to high school and doubted myself SO much. I thought I was too dumb to even apply. After high school I applied and got in (but their acceptance rate is like 95%) I’m at a community college now and will graduate in Spring 2021. As of right now, it’s just getting myself to finally go!!
Stay safe everyone. (:
Congratulations! ♥️

Love how genuine this video is. I’ve dealt with the same thing, had a counselor tell me I can only get into adn programs and that I basically wouldn’t be able to pass anatomy. I’ve had someone close to me tell me I won’t get into any nursing programs. I worked full time jobs while going to school full time so my gpa isn’t what most schools need. So I appreciated this video and how honest it was, because it does give me some motivation to keep pushin through! You’re awesome!
Please take a look at my Fundamentals of Nursing Videos
I began to doubt myself but I came across your video and I am inspired. Thank you for being an inspiration. I will continue to strive to be a nurse. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
your story is so incredible and inspiring to me. I am currently a freshman at a community college and my first semester i literally had no purpose, and i took which ever classes i was suggest to take. I took college algebra (passed with a B), English 120 (passed with an A) and italian 120 which i also passed with an A. I was too afraid to go to a UC because i didn’t want to leave my mom and sister behind but then i realized that i wanted to have a purpose in life. i always knew i wanted to be a nurse since i was 14 but i was scared to commit due to self doubt and a lack of support from my mom. it took me 2 months ago to realize what i truly want for myself bc whichever decision i end up taking will affect ONLY me, not my mom nor anyone. i needed to secure my future and most importantly protect my dream, no matter the sacrifices i have to make. now i know for certain that i want to become a CRNA and i must complete so many pre- requisites before the fall of 2022, because that’s when i plan to transfer to my dream school, UCLA. I have to get into UCLA first and finally submit my application to the UCLA school of nursing program. My counselor also told me that nursing school will be hard and i could sense some doubt in her voice about me getting in but i’m motivated more than ever to prove her wrong and show her that anything is possible if i work extremely hard this year, and so i’m hoping to take 3 summer classes to finish quick and another 4 this fall. 🤍 i know i can do this, but sometimes i doubt myself of whether i’m smart enough and i compare myself to the other transfer students who are competing against me for the position and are most likely more intelligent than i am. I just hope that in the end i end up being accepted into UCLA and the school of nursing. your story touched me unlike any other and now i have twice the encouragement i so looked for and needed. i’m happy that you’re finally where you’ve always wanted to be. wish me luck! 🤍
You have a testimony! If you did not go through obstacles in your life you wouldn’t have a testimony that helps others. Thank you so much
Oh girl, I just came across this video randomly because it popped up on my feed, and I HAVE to tell you, I have so much fucking respect for you. I am currently an LVN finishing up my second to last semester doing my pre requisites and this just gives me even more motivation to try harder. Shoutout to you girl! You really did THAT.
Good for you girl! Chasing your dreams and making them a reality!
When I was in community college, I'm pretty sure the adviser questioned if I really wanted to be a veterinary technician. I was already working as one! but I needed my license. She talked me out of it. Are advisers supposed to be dream killers?! I graduated with an A.s. in psych. And eventually got my bachelor in psych.
Anywho my adviser for nursing school is super supportive, I feel like he goes above and beyond his job description. I'm applying for nursing school in a few weeks! 🤞
🤍🤍🤍
This is so me I applied and I’m waiting to hear back from the school... I always hope for the best and expect the worst 😩😩
Kyana Heywood good luck!!
Karla Holloway thankyou I got accepted btw🎊

Girrrlllll i was crying with you
🤍🤍🤍
You go girl! You did it! Love the emotions! Nursing school is not easy! Never give up love! I don’t even know you and I’m proud of you!
We have the same story, i got emotional too because i have to work extra hard to get to my goal since i failed all my other classes when i first got out of high school. But when there’s a will there is a way. I have had straight A’s since i decided to be a nurse. We are all smarter & more capable than we think, sometimes all we need is a goal we’re passionate about & the willingness to work your ass off.
agree! 🤍
Glad you decided to make this video. As simple as it is, it could help a lot of people doubting themselves. Also, do not apologize for being emotional, is part of being a human. Good luck! keep it up!!! (:

Hi, Wow!! I am so glad I stumbled upon your video! Girl, this is exactly what happened to me too. I was so excited to see this counselor because she was African American and I instantly felt like she would have my back after I gave her my story. And she said the exact same thing, told me to look into “behind the scenes positions” and “aim lower”….. counselors really have no idea how much power they hold in their words. Thank god my aunt became a counselor at this same school and took me all the way through obtaining my bachelors in Gerontology and now I’m applying for masters in nursing as a Deans Honors student. I almost want to go back and talk to that counselor and tell her not to destroy a person doing their best to succeed.
I’m just proud of you! Thank you for this video. I’m curious what you did for you admission statement?
Watching your video I realized how much you and I are similar and watching you video it has definitely given confidence in continuing my journey. I have been currently studying for the teas exam for the past month and a half and my exam is next week. Wish me luck. Thank you for the boost. I needed to hear this
1st of all never apologize for being real!
Those genuine emotions are how u connect to people let it show ...we love it.
2nd congratulations on ur triumphs girl u did it and ur doing it and u and ur family should be soo soo proud 💗
3 I would love to see more content abt nursing school
Im in a similar boat hoping to apply here in January hopefully I get in
🤍
I am currently going to a university and I’m taking the prerequisite classes for the nursing program I’m trying to get into. I just finished the fall semester with a 3.09 GPA and a cumulative 2.3 GPA. I got a C In anatomy, a B in my anatomy lab class, a B in PSY311 child development, and a A in eng101 . I turned in my application for the nursing program 2 weeks ago and will know something in a few months on if I got accepted or not. If I do get accepted I’ll be starting in August of 2023. The reason my cumulative gpa is a 2.3 is because I attended the same university last year and didn’t do great and didn’t like the major I chose. But i decided to come back in 2022 to decide what It is that I really want to do and it was nursing. I’ve never in my life got a 3.0 on anything and I’m super grateful for it. I always just told myself “stick to the plan you knew it wouldn’t be easy” and I’m doing everything possible to get accepted. Chemistry is my biggest problem. But I plan on doing my best, and praying for good news! Always remember you got this ♥️
I really needed this! Thank you. I was told that I had a 20% chance at getting into my program this semester. My interview is in a few weeks and I’m just overwhelmed with anxiety. This really put some fire under my ass!
Im at minute 6 crying because the same thing happened to me today. Its my first year in college, came in undeclared, had a zoom meeting with my couceler and im telling her how i want to go into nursing. She said those exact words about my transcript. Those grades i worked hard to earn had made me happy but she made them to be low and not enough to even get in. I really cried afterwards and doubted myself but i really want to do this and i will, so i completely relate to this and Im glad to see you still made it even through the hardships.
I’m thinking about changing my career to nursing but I’m going through a lot of self-doubt right now. Thanks so much for making this video 💕
My story is so similar. I'm a single mom of 4. I teared up watching this because my pain is still so raw. I went on youtube and watched hours and hours of study videos for nursing students, It made all the difference because I never had a study background. My word of advice to anyone out there is to keep pushing. Going to school for something you love gives you such motivation to overcome obstacles. Give this gift to yourselves. Love to you

Good advisor will always motivate and push you no matter how hard your situation is.God will open the doors and provide. Your story is so amazing and inspirational.❤️🙏🏻👩🏻⚕️
Omg!! I can relate so much. I did bad in the first few years of college. But I sent my application a week ago, and I’m just telling myself “they will not accept you. There’s no way. Your grades are not acceptable.. Don’t get your hopes up.” 😭😭 I just want to be prepared for the disappointment and heartbreak. Ugh. People tell me I’ve done a lot, that I should be proud, but I still feel like it’s not enough. I doubt myself a lot.
Watching your TH-cam video made me super emotional because i could relate to your exact feelings. Congratulations on being accepted into nursing school. I myself am trying to get into nursing school I’m currently studying for the TEAS exam and have tons of doubts if I’m going to pass or not. Please keep posting your nursing videos on your journey to becoming a nurse it’s really inspiring and informative.
Thank you🤗
Omg Thankyou so much for this video. You have no idea how much this encouraged me to go for it. I’m 28 and feel so old to go back to school and I’m terrified bc I also feel like “I’m not smart enough” and watching other videos and joining a bunch of nursing Facebook groups has scared the crap out of me, like can I really do this!? And your video and story made me feel so good. Thank you so much. ❤️
I stared nursing school when I was 28, i will graduation when I turn 30 (next year). Age means nothing! And don’t listen to anyone, nursing school is not bad, AT ALL. Trust me.
Karla Holloway thankyou🥰
Thank you for sharing ! I'm a 31 year old ,Mother of a 2,4,&7 year old. I took Nursing Prerequisites before having my 1st daughter. Im currently a CNA. I am researching what RN program fits my life. This is a beautiful, touching video.
Yes, can you please make a video on how to prepare for nursing school!
Thats so good! I mean... In high school I had zero care, but once I set my mind to it, I was able to get through nursing school
Wow feel like I found your channel for a reason. My advisor told me I wouldn’t get into my school’s program due to some of my grades. But today I had a talk with my aunt (who is a nurse) & she told me not to let anyone or anything stop me. Her words plus yours is the motivation I needed 🙏🏽❤️
This video popped up on my feed and I’m so glad it did!! I really needed to hear this Bc I’ve been so hard on myself lately. and I’m so happy for you! You’re gonna be an amazing nurse! Can’t wait to watch your nursing serious. Definitely subscribing now!!
One hell of a ride ! You are so right that really moved me. Desire and ambition!!!
Thank you so much for this video! Honestly the first video on getting into nursing school that I can really relate to. I know this is old but I really needed to hear this! ❤️
This was a beautiful testimony, and we thank you for sharing it! I was sitting here ready to cry right along with you. I am so happy that you're working toward your goal of becoming a nurse. I am about to begin my journey, so listening to your story was very inspiring.

Wow I felt like I needed this :,(. Thank you 🙏🏼
I genuinely finally decided to pursue nursing last month and getting ready for pre-requisites. Part of the reason I am so terrified of nursing is that I don’t think I’m smart enough. In high school I was always a B+ or A student but I am TERRIFIED that I won’t be good enough and I don’t want to hurt anyone in the process. I’m also a DACA recipient so I’ll be paying for school out of pocket or with a personal loan. This video just gave me the strength to keep pushing. Thank you 💜
Si se puede! ♥️ good luck!
Girl you had me crying left and right and I was doing my makeup lol ☹️☹️☹️ I’m so proud of you! I’m happy you’re chasing your dream. I was also a bad student and since I started community college I’ve been getting good grades I was so proud! Im also going to school for nursing school but I won’t be done with my classes till next year unless something takes over me and I take more next semester Lol but I learned that also the slow worm wins the race.
Girl you made me cry, I am so happy for you! You give me motivation to keep moving forward 🙏
I’m sure you’ve heard this before but you’re so inspiring! Thank you for this video and for sharing your journey! So proud of you

Wow I relate so much to this! Similar story of mine and I'm grateful to finally be able to achieve my dream and start the nursing program in January! And graduate 2022!! ❤️
I cried hearing you talk about this because this hits home! I'm in the last course before starting the program January which is patho and I doubt myself every other day!!😭 but I pray I get through this because core is just a few weeks ago. I go to West Coast University.
Wow I cried watching this. Thank you for this video!
Karla I literally had the same situation with advisor telling me medical path wasn't for me but I didn't quit and now i'm hoping for my acceptance letter in the next few days excited to see more of your videos!
santiago lopez that’s great!! Good luck 🤗
You are so inspiring. I have been doubting myself so much lately and its been hard to keep working towards my dream but you are proof that it is possible even when the world itself is against you. I am so happy for you and can’t wait to see where your career takes you. Thank you so much for sharing your story.
You’re such an inspiration💕 I’m applying this fall and I’m so scared I won’t get in. I have a 3.4 gpa. My science gpa is pretty good but I’m scared it’s not enough. Please pray and wish me lucky. Good luck to everyone else.
Omg!!! I’m like in the exact boat and your story is sooooo like mine. I’ve quit medical assisting, I wanted to go for business and I totally did not like it. And now I am trying to start nursing as I have always wanted. And you inspired me all the way!!! Thank you very much girl!! I really like your videos!!! I’m new to your channel and love them! 😊😊
Dixie Ayala thank you ♥️ good luck!
Just subscribed! You made me cry so much 😭 I’m in the same situation. My school considers a 3.6 gpa as competitive, and I have to get at least an 80 on the HESI. I have a 3.7 right now, and I haven’t taken the HESI yet, and I am scared that my gpa will go down. I am literally just trying to get myself out of this hole....
Josephine Padaro 3.7 GPA is good. Hang in there. Just put quality time in preparation for the Hesi to maximize your grade.
Updates?
Cc Counselors are the WORST. I went through the similar process. My first semester of college he told me that with my C in algebra I would not get in. From there it all went downhill my pre-req grades were crap because I thought so negative. And then you have everyone in these clases who had 4.0s and super rude and competitive. I had really good grades in the clases that that weren’t pre-reqs. Once I graduated with my AA I realized that nursing is my calling however with a 3.0 my only way of getting in was a private university. I got in and am starting core in January. I hope to make good grades finally now that I am truly passionate about it. Thank you for your story, you are so incredibly inspirational to me.
good luck!! 🤗👏🏾
I had my nursing school interview yesterday and I am self-doubting and dwelling right now. I felt like I did great, but there's always that doubt. I find out at the end of February...I am going crazy!
Celena May good luck! You got this 🤗💕
Damn,I started tearing up🥺😭love the video!❤Hope this can motivate me to push myself i need to apply this year
This video is so great. I’m an LNA right now and considering nursing school but I’ve never thought I was smart enough and have really low self confidence but this is really inspirational for me.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I doubt myself everyday continuously asking myself if I am smart enough for this profession. There will be some days I am confident and then there are some days I think I am the dumbest person on earth. Thank you again for sharing. I literally had tears coming out of my eyes listening to you.
this is one of my favorite videos from you! you are so genuine, and say things so well. I sit there and think wow thats what I felt, I feel, I been there wanting to give up and so forth. Please keep posting. You are a gem.
Thank you so much!! 🤍
I think it’s so awesome that u were so honest and upfront. You look mean but we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. It’s awesome that u decided to do this video, this was really helpful. My dream is to be in the program but there are so many things holding me back . Congratulations on this milestone!
OMG, I needed this. These are my exact thoughts. I did pass micro with a B, but I have yet to get in. I applied last March and was rejected. I have so much self doubt, the exact same feelings as you. Thank you for this!! There is hope.
Omg your whole story spoke to me, I swear we have similar situations. You made me cry something serious lol because I’m honestly going thru it now. Im trying to get in nursing school now. I need to take the TEAS Test and I have been so afraid to take this test because of what ppl tell im not smart enough or ill never make it. God went me hear to watch this.🙏🏾Thank you for your story I needed to watch this😢🤗👌🏾
Olivia levine Don’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t do! Go after your dream and show them what you’re capable of, but most importantly do for yourself 🤍 good luck beautiful!
I’m in the same boat ⛵️ 😩
Please take a look at my Fundamentals of Nursing Videosj
out of all the videos I've watched you were beyond the most motivating. I am so happy for you and I am now even more excited to start my nursing journey!

I just found your channel and have been binge watching your videos. Let me tell you girl I’m so proud of you!! I went to a city college and and advisor told me the same thing, was it at Daley? Lmao! I literally went to my car and Kim Kardashian ugly cried for like an hour. I felt so defeated and she did break me because it took me YEARS to get to school. I’ve been an Ma for 12 years and I love what I do but have always wanted to be a nurse. Hoping to go to the school you attend in January. Good luck sweetie!!!
Ive gone through something similar. Superrr similar. Reapplying to nursing school in february, can't wait to come back and tell you about my acceptance. Thank you for you vulnerability, you will be a great nurse!!
Good luck!! 🤍
Your thought process is how mine is,”... I ACED Micro...that must have been a fluke... I Aced that too!? 🤔” don’t doubt yourself, you are very capable of doing it all! Love you story
You remind me so much of Becky G, so Gorgeous!
I'm a pre-nursing student who is deciding to switch careers so I have no medical experience. I plan on leaving my current job to focus on school and I am taking the biggest leap of faith because I am also a mom/wife who provides for the family. Lately I have been battling whether to follow my dream and go straight for the ADN program at my community college or to take a step back and start off with the LPN program. My area has so many applicants that I know it's already super competitive! I'm wondering if doing a bridge program LPN to ADN might be the best route? The advisors/counselors i've spoken to, haven't been the most encouraging and have made suggestions on looking at other options than nursing. I know with all my heart this is what I want and what I am made to do. I'm trying to stay as positive as possible and trusting God to lead my way.
Good Luck to everyone also on their journey to becoming a Nurse!
Girl.... I just failed my prereq course for my nursing program....fast paced nursing program. I am crying watching your video. It’s too bad some people in my class passed by cheating and made it to the core program. It sucks... I might turn to community college route now. Ugh 😩
My same situation right now 😪 my advisor told me last semester to change my major and I went into deep depression and I’m still battling this right now. I’m still doing my science classes
Giselle Huerta don’t listing to anybody! You will have a lot of doors close, and it’s going to be very discouraging. But you have wanted more than anything. I went through the same thing, and look at me now, I graduate next year 💃🏽
Wow this video helped me so much you have no idea. I’m in the same situation right now struggling but I know it’s ideally what I want to do it’s just a lot harder for me when it comes to school. You’re an inspiration so thank you for posting this!
This story was amazing I absolutely love this. Respect to you and all the struggling people out there. Much love to you lovely and good luck!!!!
I was studying Dance at first in a community college but then last min I decided to do nursing because I always loved it and used to volunteer in hospitals. Don’t get me wrong, I love dance and studying it was so interesting! But literally last min after 2 years I switched it. The reason I didn’t do it at first was because I feel like I’m not good enough or smart enough but now I know I can do it and I will become a nurse in the future! Thankyou for this video❤️
wow thank you so much for sharing your story...I relate so much...so many people doubted me...even people who i thought were friends and mentors...but here i am I am an RN now. This profession will make you have thick skin, and a caring heart for your patients. Can't wait to see how your nursing journey unfolds
Wow I relate so much to your journey! In high school I didn’t really know what exact program I should choose... although I was always interested in the medical field, but because of my poor science grades my parents didn’t believe in me succeeding in that field :(... So I applied for a business management program and just finished first year of that. However I’m still feeling very uninterested in all of the business courses, they all are boring for me too. 😭 So now I’m finally looking into applying for BScN program at my university, I really hope I get in and I know I can if I actually dO work HARD and study 24/7. Thank you for sharing your journey and giving me more hope that I can really do this too! 🥺🤞🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Wow. I’m going to pursue being an RN this fall. First tome college student I’m 26 w/ three kids. I know for a fact it’s going to be hard. The doubt you talk about, I had/have too. But watching your video really just inspired me to want to push for this ❤️ gracias! ✨✨

You got this! 🤗
New subbie! Finishing up my sciences now to apply for the nursing program!
I got emotional watching your video. Everyone has a different past which can still lead to a wonderful future. It’s so motivating to know that you never gave up. I have also had closed doors. I believe that I worked hard enough to open one though just as you did. I’m excited to apply for nursing school soon. Congratulations! I’m sure you will continue to do great and become a nurse ❤️❤️
This was beautiful, agghh! ;( So inspiring, so real.. Thank you! I needed this.
Hi Karla! Thanks for your video! Even though this was a while ago, I can relate to this 100%. I knew I wanted to be in the medical field when I went to college but no one really guided me with resources and things so I ended up switching by major like 4 times and ended up graduating with a BA in Spanish because I had a minor in it and could finish my 4 years with it. Don’t get me wrong, I love Spanish and I love how diverse it is but in my 4 years at college, I really wanted to go into the nursing program the end of my sophomore but I was told I couldn’t do it due to my GPA and grades. I’ve been wanting to finish my pre reqs so I can apply for nursing school but idk what holding me back, could be money or just the anxiety of not doing well. I want to start this summer so I can attend nursing school, I always wanted to be in pediatrics because I love kids and growing up, I loved my pediatrician and nurses but your video gives me hope and the guidance I needed. Thank you for that and I hope everything is going well for you still! God bless!
“In my head I got an A ok!” I felt that lmaoo
Girl your testimony... that’s me right now. Been told I shouldn’t because I have kids, and I shouldn’t try because of my grades in high school
Don't give up!!
Omg best video ever !! Inspired me so much but I’m not going for nursing but this video is something I can watch over and over because I’m the same exact way w doubting myself and not being that smart !! Congrats keep pushing
