Hey!!!! My name is Kristina. I’m a RN in a Med Surg unit. Previously I was a nursing student within an accelerated BSN program. I'm a mom, wife, and recent cancer survivor. I am passionate about a plant-based lifestyle. My mission is to help other nursing students along with those who are looking to transition to a plant-based diet.
If you have any ideas for future videos feel free to DM me on Instagram @kristinaamerrill =)
Great video. I love how you break stuff down. I personally wear the fake figs from Amazon. I call them PIGS! $35 a set. I’m trying to save up for a house so I’m not trying to spend $90+ on something I’m going to get slimed in twice a day 🤮🩸💩💦 🦠 Between that and making my coffee at home instead of going to the hospital cafe (it’s really good tho ☕️ 😭) I’m saving a GRIP! 💰
Hey! I know it’s been 2 years, but I don’t see people talk about this a lot as far as HESI content exams I’m always seeing HESI A2 instead..Did you do any other HESI EXAMS like HESI PHARM?
smart and vegan, thank you for the video, I'm also in nursing school with Arizona College of Nursing BSN. it is soooo tough being in a school with no one... no one being vegan also. how do you do it being the only one knowing true heath while being in health care?
I have all 3 and hate all of them. They fit weird. They all make a big waist (I wear a size small) and then it gets tight in the thighs and calf region. The tailoring of the tops is not good they don’t tuck in neatly into the pants so you get a puffy look when you tuck the tops in. Also all are restricting in the armpit regions.
Hello! I just stumbled across your channel. I’m a mama of 2 littles and am looking into pursuing nursing (dream since childhood). I look forward to all of your upcoming videos. PS. I’m also plant based so really appreciate that aspect!
I have two little ones now as well! All I can say is just do it. Don’t give your brain the chance to think of the what ifs. Just apply to a bunch of schools where you get in study hard and come up with a plan on taking care of the kids while you study. You will push through it and before you know it you’ll be a nurse! Best of luck ❤️
Hello ma'am. Please I'm a Ghanaian Nursing student and want a scholarship to study in the state...... Trumans College. Please how do i go about it. Thank you
Hi Kristina. Nice review. How do I reach out to you. Do you have an email. I'm starting up a scrub company and I would like to have your honest opinion. Thank you.
I really love Figs, I can wear any color and they have big variety of colors. I wash them after every use but I don’t put them in a dryer. They last for years .. and I mean it. Very good quality. I don’t like their never high wasted version, used to love original high wasted.
The ones I mentioned were directly from each school. You’re more likely to get that versus the ones online. I never met anyone that won a scholarship with those websites.
Hey! It was great surprisedly. Just have to make sure to charge it before class. And bring a plug just in case you forget. I forgot all the time! Haha but it was so handy!
I’m so sorry I just saw this!! I hope you’re okay. Don’t give up many people fail this class but go in there strong next semester! People thrive the second time around! ❤️
Do you have any tips on how to study 7 chapters a week?? I start nurse process next semester and I hear it’s so many chapters each week! I’m so scared.
One of the biggest tips I have is to talk to your teachers. Not just in class but after class. Speak with them show them you care and ask their advice. They will tell you how to focus on certain chapters and which ones you don’t really need to harp on.
You're absolutely right about trusting your gut and your knowledge. After prayer I trusted my gut on my first nursing exam of the semester. I did not spend an extensive amount of time reading the question 5 times, I did not change my answer 3 times. I read the question one or two times read the answers picked one and moved on. I ended up getting a B on my exam by just trusting myself and the nursing knowledge I've accumulated thus far. Thank you for the confirmation to continue this mindset
@@KristinaMerrill hello, I took the test twice and failed. But I took the TEAS and passed with flying colors and currently in the RN program :) Thank you for responding!
Thanks for stopping by! When is your test? I offer tutorting, feel free to message me on IG. I can also try and make a video depending on when your test is. 😊❤️
lm from South African and just tried my luck with Colby-Sawyer college for ABSN program. Do they have scholarships that can fully fund foreign students?
That’s great! I would go to your school and ask them. Go to the financial aid department and find out what they have to offer. They definitely should have something available. Best of luck! 😊
im currently in the first semester of my accelerated program, and my fundi professor LITERALLY reads word-for-word off the powerpoints, including her notes at the bottom. I have my 1st exam next week, 50 questions based on 5 chapters and i have no idea what to study. i really liked the tip of using the textbook questions and pretending they're exam questions. hopefully, it'll help, thank you for sharing this information!
Are you able to reach out to previous students who have taken the course? It always helps to gauge a teachers testing style from former students in those situations. I would make sure you know those slides like the back of your hand. You got this!!
Thank you for your share .I already start Fundamental 1 week .and will have exam for nursing process coming in this Tuesday 30. over here not require this book any more . they chang to small one and study for all from ATI packet .I always watch your Vedio.
@@KristinaMerrill I can't make it. I did 4 exam to bad on my grade now. Just discussed about should I stop it or keep going. My grade really bad now. Sorry about sharing
My professors MAKE us , they said "you learn better if you find the information yourself " we were not given any study guide or sense of direction just the chapters numbers we have to go over.
That’s so unfortunate!! I’m so sorry. Those standards are not realistic. There is an immense amount of information. I would speak to your professor and explain you need further direction since it’s information overload. If they don’t take action go to their higher up. You can’t pay for someone to tell you to read the chapter. And if they don’t help go somewhere else! Seriously! That’s an awful education why pay them.
