Just an FYI to any high schoolers that have done badly on the ACT and want to go into nursing: that score doesn’t define you or your ability to become an amazing nurse!! I had a 4.0 in high school but a 19 ACT score (I have severe test anxiety hahah). I did very well in all my pre-nursing classes and my nursing school accepted me and granted me a scholarship only given to 3 incoming nursing school students. I just want to put this out there because I remember feeling as though I wasn’t good enough because of my ACT score; I hope those encourages anyone struggling with the same thoughts as well 💜💜
elizabethjadexoxo thanks for sharing I actually got a call yesterday saying I have to retake the ACT for the 4th time because I didn’t reach the nursing requirement
The number 1 thing I can say is that it’s okay to have a longer timeline for college than others! After switching from university to community college I was set back at least a year for when I graduate from nursing school and that’s okay! 4 years is not a lot of time to complete a whole degree program and to anyone who’s stressing over it, in the end you’ll have that degree and become an amazing nurse:)💞
You said so many things in this video that really hit home, especially the part about not feeling like you're smart enough for nursing school. I entered a pre-nursing program at a university and had to change majors because I didn't do well enough in that program. Retaking the classes I did too poorly in wasn't a viable option because the school cost too much for me to not graduate in 4 years. A couple summers after graduating, I still hadn't really gotten anywhere with my degree, so I started going to my local community college for some one-year program and take their CNA course. In my summer class (2018), I learned the community college had LPN and ASN programs, and it was like the nursing world was calling out to me again. At first, I really didn't think I should even attempt it because of how poorly I had done in physiology (and sort of anatomy) at the university. Well, I decided to shoot for it after all, "retook" the first half of A&P in fall 2018, and got accepted into the ASN program for fall 2019. I've gotten A's and B's in all of my classes so far. No one can tell me God doesn't have a plan for me.
For any high schoolers, I graduated high school in June 2019 and I’ll be done with my pre reqs after this spring term!! I shaved off a whole year of pre reqs by taking dual credit college courses at my high school, as well as took a CNA course during the summer of my junior year!💗 I highly, highly recommend if you know that you want to be a nurse from a young age. This video was so informative and I loved hearing about your nursing journey 🥰
It went bad for me I failed 3 of 4 dual courses in high school and it's the only grades that aren't A's. I will never have the 4.0 I deserve.. my parents made me take them.
Lexi Pacino dang that’s crazy, we graduated at the same time and I still have two semesters before I apply for the program. But that’s awesome for ya, really wish I did the same as you. For sure anyone that’s still in high school take as many dual credit classes as you can it saves so much time and money.
I was a very non-traditional student...and I definitely felt that pressure of "the timeline" and having to do everything by a certain time...well, I'm a testament to the fact that time legit does NOT matter! I think I took a total of 5 years out of high school to finish my prereq courses! There was quite a bit of retaking (cause initially I didn't take my classes seriously), there were bumps in the road...but honestly guys, I have people who are younger than me, around my age, or way older than me in my nursing school cohort...It truly doesn't matter if you're 20, if you're 30, or even 60 (yes, I have seen 50-60 year olds taking prereq's!), if nursing is truly what you want to do...GO for it! Also, take as little or as much time as you need (and that you can handle!) when completing your classes. Your prereq courses (especially science classes) are some of the most important courses to do well in...not just for grades but for comprehension. I cannot express enough how grateful I was to get a full grasp of my A&P right before nursing school started.... Do your best now! The hard work will all pay off when you get that acceptance letter! Trust me!
I did about 2-ish years of community college, just recently took a gap year because i felt so lost and now i am thinking about returning in Fall2020; i have been undecided all my life & am finally looking into majors and different career paths i could take. If i was to pursue nursing, there are some prereqs i will still need to take, so I have been beating myself up because i feel like i have wasted so much time and lost so much time 😪 not sure if the nursing path is directly for me, but thank you for making it aware that its okay to take your time 😪 i really needed that boost
being in nursing school having some free time, or time to yourself is extremely important. I realized if I never gave myself time off I burnt myself out and that didn't help me with my exams. Now I encourage everyone to have free time just to themselves it will make you so much happier
I live in Canada and the process of becoming a nurse is so different! We can go straight into Nursing School from high school, and our prerequisites are completed in grade 11 and 12. And we have to get our Bachelors to be an RN, the two year program here is to become an RPN! It’s so interesting hearing the differences
Yup!! I'm a 29 year old back in college, taking the RPN program because I had all the necessary classes from high school! Going to bridge to RN afterwards. :)
GAPAG Thats great! Just finished my pre reqs at Douglas and I’m applying to Langara for the BSN probably next year, I hear it’s a better school for Nursing.
I graduated in 2016 and planned on being a doctor of emergency medicine, so automatically enrolled in pre-med. Went to school for a while, then took leave for a bit (my brother passed away suddenly), and realized that I don’t want to be a doctor anymore. So now I am going to be going into nursing school here in the fall and am undecided as to whether I want to stop at RN BSN, or go on to be an NP. I always feel like I’m behind, because girls that I graduated with are graduating nursing school this year and I always feel like I should be too, but have to remind myself that I was on a different path and changed my mind, and that it’s okay and it’s never too late! I’m currently a CNA honestly love it. Can’t wait to keep moving up the ladder. ❤️
One thing I will say is this really spoke to me. I graduated in 2015 and I was premed. My father passed away in 2018 and I basically gave up on being a doctor. I too am trying to do nursing now. Good luck to you! The storm may have hit us but we got through it! This now gives us fuel accomplish more in life. God Bless you and I wish you the best love!
Yeah like I was looking at the pay difference and in the UK they pay nurses like $20,000 a year, while new grad nurses are paid $65,000 - 75,000 per year depending what state! Apparently they are upping the salary here in the United States to encourage more people to pursue nursing because of our nursing shortage!
@@laurenhills239 the UK starting salary for nurses is the equivalent to 32500 us dollars so yeah seems there's a big difference! There's definitely a lot of work to do in the UK on respect for the profession, which of course includes better pay!
ilona taylor-conway Yes, definitely advocate for better pay because that’s ridiculous. I feel like if the pay was that low in the United States you wouldn’t see a nurse in sight. I use to think $65,000 was a low wage for nurses, so that’s why I’m now traveling and making double. Now I realize how well we are paid compared to other countries and I won’t complain anymore.
Hey Madison! I just failed one of my classes of second semester, which was devastating. I failed by less than 2 points, and it hurts to know I’m not going into my senior year of nursing now. I know you have had a similar experience to this, I’m just trying to remember everything happens for a reason, and like you said in this video, there is no rush to be a nurse. I’m taking my free time now to study up and work as a CNA. Best of luck to you in journey! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video! Setting time aside for self care is so important! I used to feel guilty for watching a movie when I could be studying but I realized that taking a break goes a long waaay!! Your recommendations are so helpful! ❤
Yay another madi video! you honestly give me so much inspiration for motivation! currently a 3rd semester nursing student in a BSN program! i know you're gonna make an amazing nurse girl, keep on keeping on!!
I’m still in highschool, I graduate next year and i’m off to college. My dream is to become a registered nurse and work in the hospital. It’s like what I really really want to do. And to watch these videos to see how she studies and how her experiences is just makes me so excited and impatient to get to where she is. I cant wait. Keep it up love! ❤️
Wow, we graduated the same year! That’s so cool. I started college in the Fall of 2017 with a major of pre-nursing. I took Nursing while I was in high school at a tech school and graduated with a certificate in health science. Initially I was very excited about nursing but after I graduated, I was just so burnt out on school so when I started college, I didn’t take it seriously. Long story short, I failed all of my classes and had to drop out in May 2018. But after taking some time off and getting myself together. I realize how much I love nursing and how much I want to be a nurse. I’m planning on going back this Fall and retaking the classes I failed and hopefully getting accepted into the nursing program. I do often feel like a failure because I should be a junior in college, instead I’m still considered a freshman because I didn’t even make it one year but you have been such an inspiration to me and I love watching your videos. You seem like such an amazing person and I get such a good vibe from you!
I am a junior standing in college and completely started over to pursue a BSN in Nursing this past January from originally being an Early Childhood Education major. Although it may be nerve-wracking to starting a little later in my college career, I know that this is what I want to do! One good tip for anyone starting Pre-Nursing or entering any Nursing Program, make sure you have a good understanding of yourself, what you want out of this journey, and a support system you can lean on when things become unbearable. For those who are current high school OR college students wondering if they should take the plunge into Nursing School - DO IT! If it is something you are passionate about, please do yourself the favor and go for it!
I am also on the five year plan at YSU. Makes me wish I took my ACT more seriously. My advisors aren’t the most encouraging either because of it but I’m working hard ☺️ nice to see someone else that was in a situation like me.
Hi Madi ❤️ Thanks for doing this video 🧡. I passed NUR 150!! I’m done with my freshman year of nursing 🤎🤎 I have one more year to go!! I’m sure it’ll be crazy but it’s worth it. Never give up.. even when you WANT to
i am in pre nursing right now and just finally completed statistics... i totally agree. i didn’t think it was going to be so bad but it was just annoying 😭😭 I’m just happy I’m FINALLY finished with my chemistry classes 🙏🏻 at my school we don’t have to take a test to get into the upper nursing or anything, you just apply and they take the highest GPAs so it’s just work time right now hahaha. love your videos:) (and absolutely like you said try to take a chem class in HS!! it will get you familiar with the information)
Nursing school in the US seems so complicated. I am a nursing student in Scotland and we do a three year program and then we become registered nurses.💕💕
thank you for saying there’s no timeline to it. i’m transferring universities and changing pre-nursing programs(for BSN) so i might be behind. the reassurance really eased my doubts. often people, my self included forget that nursing is a COMPLETELY different field than business, premed/med, liberal arts; the path ways for nursing careers work so different. also you’re gorgeous and good luck on your nursing endeavors!
I view motivation as more of a feeling and feelings are unpredictable. Sometimes we are happy sometimes we are sad sometimes we have energy sometimes we don't. What you need is routine and to have stuff planned out. If you make doing work at a certain part of day a habit you will do it (like brushing your teeth). You shouldn't rely on motivation but on making things habits. That's how I stay 'motivated' and do work early and on time.
Madi so happy that you are staying safe and healthy and that you chose to be a nurse and God bless you and all your fellow nursing students and hope you guy's stay safe and healthy. Love you, Matthew Carrubba from Oklahoma
Thank you so much for this girl 🥺🙏🏼 I know I’ve told you what I’ve been going through & I can’t thank you enough for the advice. You are amazing & I love you!! Let’s talk soon 🤍
It’s funny to see how different school systems are all over the world. In the Netherlands there is no such thing as “pre-classes”. Here there are different levels in high school. We have vmbo(there are different levels within)-mavo-havo and vwo (low to high). There are 3 different levels in college/uni. Mbo (there are different levels within depending on your highschool level)-hbo-wo. If you graduate mavo you can go to mbo nursing school and become a level 4 nurse. And if you graduate havo you can go to hbo nursing school and become a level 5 nurse. Everyone who applies to the school will be admitted. I just graduated havo and will be starting level 5 nursing school at hbo in 2 weeks🤗🤗
Thank you for the discount my love! Just ordered the chocolate protein powder & tumbler and pre ordered the portable smoothie maker which is going to be perfect for my busy schedule 🙏🏻💖
I feel like this video was made for me or something. I just graduated high school and planning to major in pre-nursing next fall. This video was very helpful and it gave me hope that I could pursue nursing, and the video was posted on my birthday HAHA!! I also loveee taking anatomy and struggled in AP stats in high school!! Wow crazy.
Thank you for encouraging so many people. 😊I really needed to hear it because I have been doubting so much later because of fear that I’m not good or smart enough for nursing. I am taking an extra semester already and I tend to compare to people who aren’t living my journey (not fun). But it’s God’s timing too, not when I want it. I’m also a CNA because our high school offered that and knowing that I was called to nursing.
Please I need clarification, is the nursing school a university,where you get your BSN? Also, is ADN what you get after pre-Nursing, or after 2 years in pre-Nursing you'll start another classes for the ADN in a college?
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this video, as I’m dual enrolling to start my pre-requisites next year (senior year), never disappoints. Also, you’re so pretty!
madi's nursing journey Thank you! I’m planning on taking an Intro to Psychology, and a math which is what my community college requires for Anatomy 1 & 2. Also, this video helps me realize that I made a good decision with deciding to go to a community college, get my ADN, and then transfer to a four year college to get my BSN.
Literally scrolled down the comment section hoping there’s someone out there who made it to nursing school despite not doing so well in their pre nursing. I needed to see this to keep me going cus all I ever hear people around me saying is you can’t get in with B’s. Straight A’s to get in. As cliche as this sounds, this made my night! Gave me that reassurance that someone out there went thru the same thing I did & that my previous B’s don’t necessarily need to define my upcoming A’s! 😇
I hate statistics as well. I took it last year and had to withdraw from it. I’m now taking Quantitive Reasoning. I’m horrible at math but I’m hoping QR will be a little easier then Statistics
I noticed you didn't have any videos for studying microbiology? Maybe I missed it. Is it safe to say we can use your same study tips from the Anatomy video? I guess at my local schools the prerequisites are a bit different, the main ones needed being human anatomy, human physiology, and microbiology. That's pretty much what your nursing application is dependent upon so the pressure to get A's in these classes is real!
Hearing you say statistics was your hardest class worries me. I am taking behavioral statistics online this summer. Hopefully it’s not too bad! 😬 love your videos btw! 💜
So pretty, love your hair!!🌹❤️❤️ madi I wanted to ask you on the day of the teas exam what would u recommend to someone who feels super nervous about taking it? I started study last week and the nerves had been flowing in my mind 😩
i just recently went back to school to do my pre-reqs for nursing and i had a quick question! my counselor wants me to take intro to chem, and anatomy in one semester, then microbiology and physiology in another semester. since you’ve take these classes before, in your opinion, do you think this is doable? should i maybe revise my plan and take one science per semester with other g.e’s, or should i continue with just two sciences per semester, as he suggested? any and all info/opinions are appreciated :)
I know this question was directed towards Madi, but I just wanted to give you my advice. I also went back to college to pursue nursing. I’m a mom of 3, so I also have home responsibilities. I decided to take about 3 courses per semester and only 1 science class each semester because science classes require more effort in my opinion. I didn’t want my gpa to suffer because of trying to balance too much. I ended up applying for my nursing program with a 4.0 in my prerequisites and have now completed my first year of nursing school with 1 more year to go. It took me longer to complete my prerequisites, but totally worth it and I don’t regret doing it this way. Hope this helps!
At my university that’s the exact order we do them in. It’s extremely doable but it just depends on your lifestyle. It’s not that bad I just finished al of my pre reqs. You just gotta push through and it’ll be worth it in the end. :).
Hi Lilly, I definitely agree with the previous answer! It all depends on how much time you can dedicate for those classes. Personally, I was working and going to school full time so taking only 1 science course per semester was enough. I would recommend taking 1 science course and 2 or 3 general eds ( this is what I did and was able to complete prereqs in 2 years). In my community college you have to complete chem and anatomy first in order to take physio, and then complete physio in order to take micro. You really want to focus 100% in these courses because they can make or break your GPA. Also keep in mind that many nursing programs are taking the first grade you get in science courses into consideration ( at least that's how it is in southern CA). Wish you the best and good luck!!
roko310s thank you for the input!! i love to hear everyone’s experience :) i was working but i’m in a position where i can focus on school full time so i want to schedule courses based on my ability and open time. originally my counselors suggested taking two sciences per semester since i was working part time, so maybe it will be different now! good luck in nursing school!! it’s so great to see people achieving their goals!
Charlie True thanks for replying! :) did you take one per semester or two at once? my counselor wanting me to take two per semester is what’s causing me to reconsider that plan. i took chem in high school and did well but i know college level is different!
I’m doing Pre-nursing and I also suck at Math unfortunately haha 🙃 was there a lot of math related questions on the tease test? That is definitely the section of the test that makes me most nervous...
I graduate this year in June but I will be going to my community college and doing 2 years and getting my adn and I would like to work as a rn at my local hospital can I do that or that’s not possible
I can just tell we’d be best friends if we knew each other in real life. Is that weird to say that? 😂 love watching your videos! I’m starting the nursing program next spring!
I’m selling a lot of nursing stuff on poshmark if you need anything for school or nursing. Can you do quarantine related videos do you have masks and gloves and hand sanitizers for yourself?
It's so annoying😭 I'm taking stats this term, just took my midterm. Def make sure you take lots of notes and do the annoying practice problems at the end of the sections.
Just an FYI to any high schoolers that have done badly on the ACT and want to go into nursing: that score doesn’t define you or your ability to become an amazing nurse!! I had a 4.0 in high school but a 19 ACT score (I have severe test anxiety hahah).

non-nurisng classes need to be taken seriously because they are amazing GPA boosters!!!!

In Portugal taking a college degree in nursing (Bachelor) takes 4 years! It is never too long to accomplish our dreams! 👏🏼
I’m in the same position to you right now. Decided I wanted to do nursing half way through my freshman year. I hope everything turns out okay

Although it may be nerve-wracking to starting a little later in my college career, I know that this is what I want to do! One good tip for anyone starting Pre-Nursing or entering any Nursing Program, make sure you have a good understanding of yourself, what you want out of this journey, and a support system you can lean on when things become unbearable. For those who are current high school OR college students wondering if they should take the plunge into Nursing School - DO IT! If it is something you are passionate about, please do yourself the favor and go for it!
I am also on the five year plan at YSU. Makes me wish I took my ACT more seriously. My advisors aren’t the most encouraging either because of it but I’m working hard ☺️ nice to see someone else that was in a situation like me.
Hi Madi ❤️ Thanks for doing this video 🧡. I passed NUR 150!! I’m done with my freshman year of nursing 🤎🤎 I have one more year to go!! I’m sure it’ll be crazy but it’s worth it. Never give up.. even when you WANT to
i am in pre nursing right now and just finally completed statistics... i totally agree. i didn’t think it was going to be so bad but it was just annoying 😭😭 I’m just happy I’m FINALLY finished with my chemistry classes 🙏🏻 at my school we don’t have to take a test to get into the upper nursing or anything, you just apply and they take the highest GPAs so it’s just work time right now hahaha. love your videos:) (and absolutely like you said try to take a chem class in HS!! it will get you familiar with the information)
Nursing school in the US seems so complicated. I am a nursing student in Scotland and we do a three year program and then we become registered nurses.💕💕
thank you for saying there’s no timeline to it. i’m transferring universities and changing pre-nursing programs(for BSN) so i might be behind. the reassurance really eased my doubts. often people, my self included forget that nursing is a COMPLETELY different field than business, premed/med, liberal arts; the path ways for nursing careers work so different. also you’re gorgeous and good luck on your nursing endeavors!
Your videos always brighten my day and watching them makes me feel like I’m watching my best friend! Such an inspiration! ❤️
Omg you’re the best love you 💗💗💗💗
I view motivation as more of a feeling and feelings are unpredictable. Sometimes we are happy sometimes we are sad sometimes we have energy sometimes we don't. What you need is routine and to have stuff planned out. If you make doing work at a certain part of day a habit you will do it (like brushing your teeth). You shouldn't rely on motivation but on making things habits. That's how I stay 'motivated' and do work early and on time.
I’m going to be a freshmen in high school this fall!! this helped so much! thanks madi 💜💜
hey mee tooo ... im going to be a sophomore in the fall now! How's was it still want to be a nurse or in the medical field?
Madi so happy that you are staying safe and healthy and that you chose to be a nurse and God bless you and all your fellow nursing students and hope you guy's stay safe and healthy. Love you, Matthew Carrubba from Oklahoma
I loved this video, thanks for your words. I had a bad day but definitely listening to you made a better day
I’m on the brink of failing Ob/peds! Tomorrow is my exam I spent hours studying and I’m exhausted with me luck !!!
good luck sorry i take that class this summer =( ( i heard its hard )
Salma Speaks i thought med surg was going to be hard and OB easy turns out it was the opposite for me!
@@mayram4662 really i just completed my medsrug it wasn't hard but moderately hard i'm hoping OB/peds doesn't tank me ... =(
Salma Speaks update I passed today’s exam with a 92%!!!!!!
@@mayram4662 OMG thanks for the update WOW congrats... how do u study
I’m an Ohio girl too! Going back to college starting in the fall 2020!!! So exciting and scary!! Especially since I’m in my 30s!!
How's it going so far?
Thank you so much for this girl 🥺🙏🏼 I know I’ve told you what I’ve been going through & I can’t thank you enough for the advice. You are amazing & I love you!! Let’s talk soon 🤍
Thank you so much for this video! You helped clarify a lot of questions I had about nursing.
Thanks for all of you informative videos Madi! You’re awesome, keep up the good work
Aw thank you 💗💗💗
It’s funny to see how different school systems are all over the world. In the Netherlands there is no such thing as “pre-classes”.
Here there are different levels in high school. We have vmbo(there are different levels within)-mavo-havo and vwo (low to high).
There are 3 different levels in college/uni. Mbo (there are different levels within depending on your highschool level)-hbo-wo.
If you graduate mavo you can go to mbo nursing school and become a level 4 nurse. And if you graduate havo you can go to hbo nursing school and become a level 5 nurse. Everyone who applies to the school will be admitted.
I just graduated havo and will be starting level 5 nursing school at hbo in 2 weeks🤗🤗
Thank you for the discount my love! Just ordered the chocolate protein powder & tumbler and pre ordered the portable smoothie maker which is going to be perfect for my busy schedule 🙏🏻💖
Omg yayyyy💗💗💗💗
Thank you for all these helpful tips! I love your videos
Omg yayyy I am sooo happy for you💗💗💗🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳
I feel like this video was made for me or something. I just graduated high school and planning to major in pre-nursing next fall. This video was very helpful and it gave me hope that I could pursue nursing, and the video was posted on my birthday HAHA!! I also loveee taking anatomy and struggled in AP stats in high school!! Wow crazy.
You’re so pretty!!
aw thank you so much michele
Thank you for encouraging so many people. 😊I really needed to hear it because I have been doubting so much later because of fear that I’m not good or smart enough for nursing. I am taking an extra semester already and I tend to compare to people who aren’t living my journey (not fun). But it’s God’s timing too, not when I want it. I’m also a CNA because our high school offered that and knowing that I was called to nursing.
excited to watch this tonight !!
"I am in god's timing, not mine"
What a lovely statement 💞. And sooo true! You get so worried about life that you forget such simple truth.
I just finished the ADN program at Kent and I never even realized some nursing schools require an interview and look at more than the ACT of SAT 😂
omg congrats
Thank you!! And best of luck to you in your journey! You seem to have a positive outlook which I'd say for sure is a necessity in the medical field!
Please I need clarification, is the nursing school a university,where you get your BSN?
Also, is ADN what you get after pre-Nursing, or after 2 years in pre-Nursing you'll start another classes for the ADN in a college?
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this video, as I’m dual enrolling to start my pre-requisites next year (senior year), never disappoints. Also, you’re so pretty!
aw yay and aw thank you Melanie
madi's nursing journey Thank you! I’m planning on taking an Intro to Psychology, and a math which is what my community college requires for Anatomy 1 & 2. Also, this video helps me realize that I made a good decision with deciding to go to a community college, get my ADN, and then transfer to a four year college to get my BSN.
of course and good luck, wishing you nothing but the best
madi's nursing journey Thank you!
Hey I love your channel since I’m going into nursing next year!!!!!!! Would you post your workout routine!!!!!!!
Very helpful! Thanks Madi! 💕
Awesome video and so informative. Love your vibe Madi!
Thank you so much 💗💗
Loved the video! And girl I am with you, I loved A&P and HATED statistics too lol😝💕
My pre nursing classes were such a mess lol mostly because I did not know what I was going to school for, for the longest time
David Robinson I was in the exact same boat 😅 I need to make a video about it ASAP but I know it would just be way too long!
@@nurse.kirsten we love long videos in quarantine!! 😁
marija g I will def work on it ASAP for you!! 😇😇
@@nurse.kirsten i subscribed, do it girl!! 💪
Literally scrolled down the comment section hoping there’s someone out there who made it to nursing school despite not doing so well in their pre nursing. I needed to see this to keep me going cus all I ever hear people around me saying is you can’t get in with B’s. Straight A’s to get in. As cliche as this sounds, this made my night! Gave me that reassurance that someone out there went thru the same thing I did & that my previous B’s don’t necessarily need to define my upcoming A’s! 😇
And thank you for the advice, I go to community college as well!
I have really bad anxiety too which makes me doubt whether I can deal with the responsibilities....
I hate statistics as well. I took it last year and had to withdraw from it. I’m now taking Quantitive Reasoning. I’m horrible at math but I’m hoping QR will be a little easier then Statistics
I love your nursing school videos! You are so pretty and sweet🥰💗💗
I noticed you didn't have any videos for studying microbiology? Maybe I missed it. Is it safe to say we can use your same study tips from the Anatomy video? I guess at my local schools the prerequisites are a bit different, the main ones needed being human anatomy, human physiology, and microbiology. That's pretty much what your nursing application is dependent upon so the pressure to get A's in these classes is real!
I am a pre-nursing student rn and I am doing dual enrollment.
Girl I am taking statistics now and I dread it!!!
your headbands are so cute!
thank you
Hearing you say statistics was your hardest class worries me. I am taking behavioral statistics online this summer. Hopefully it’s not too bad! 😬 love your videos btw! 💜
Hi Madi, I love watching your videos, you're so pretty! keep it up love from Canada ♥️♥️
aw thank you so so much marina
So pretty, love your hair!!🌹❤️❤️ madi I wanted to ask you on the day of the teas exam what would u recommend to someone who feels super nervous about taking it? I started study last week and the nerves had been flowing in my mind 😩
i just recently went back to school to do my pre-reqs for nursing and i had a quick question! my counselor wants me to take intro to chem, and anatomy in one semester, then microbiology and physiology in another semester. since you’ve take these classes before, in your opinion, do you think this is doable? should i maybe revise my plan and take one science per semester with other g.e’s, or should i continue with just two sciences per semester, as he suggested? any and all info/opinions are appreciated :)
I know this question was directed towards Madi, but I just wanted to give you my advice. I also went back to college to pursue nursing. I’m a mom of 3, so I also have home responsibilities. I decided to take about 3 courses per semester and only 1 science class each semester because science classes require more effort in my opinion. I didn’t want my gpa to suffer because of trying to balance too much. I ended up applying for my nursing program with a 4.0 in my prerequisites and have now completed my first year of nursing school with 1 more year to go. It took me longer to complete my prerequisites, but totally worth it and I don’t regret doing it this way. Hope this helps!
At my university that’s the exact order we do them in. It’s extremely doable but it just depends on your lifestyle. It’s not that bad I just finished al of my pre reqs. You just gotta push through and it’ll be worth it in the end. :).
Hi Lilly, I definitely agree with the previous answer! It all depends on how much time you can dedicate for those classes. Personally, I was working and going to school full time so taking only 1 science course per semester was enough. I would recommend taking 1 science course and 2 or 3 general eds ( this is what I did and was able to complete prereqs in 2 years). In my community college you have to complete chem and anatomy first in order to take physio, and then complete physio in order to take micro. You really want to focus 100% in these courses because they can make or break your GPA. Also keep in mind that many nursing programs are taking the first grade you get in science courses into consideration ( at least that's how it is in southern CA). Wish you the best and good luck!!
roko310s thank you for the input!! i love to hear everyone’s experience :) i was working but i’m in a position where i can focus on school full time so i want to schedule courses based on my ability and open time. originally my counselors suggested taking two sciences per semester since i was working part time, so maybe it will be different now! good luck in nursing school!! it’s so great to see people achieving their goals!
Charlie True thanks for replying! :) did you take one per semester or two at once? my counselor wanting me to take two per semester is what’s causing me to reconsider that plan. i took chem in high school and did well but i know college level is different!
You did good my daughter got 15 on act. She going to retake it
I’m doing Pre-nursing and I also suck at Math unfortunately haha 🙃 was there a lot of math related questions on the tease test? That is definitely the section of the test that makes me most nervous...
I loooovvve your hair like this you should do it more you look gorgeous 💕💕💕
OML..... THAT HAIR THOOO.....
I graduate this year in June but I will be going to my community college and doing 2 years and getting my adn and I would like to work as a rn at my local hospital can I do that or that’s not possible

Are you working as a CNA during Nursing School? Is it hard if you are?
Yes! I work PRN so I only work when I want to and have time !
I want to be a BSN RN nurse.

I’m taking Statistics this fall and I’m sooo nervous!! 😅Everyone keeps saying it’s hard 😭😭!
It's so annoying😭 I'm taking stats this term, just took my midterm. Def make sure you take lots of notes and do the annoying practice problems at the end of the sections.
Nancy Gaspar Thankyou for the tips girl!
