Big NEWS! | I Got Accepted! 

Congrats! I was an RN at Johns Hopkins and I have a bit of advice if you'd like it- -don't buy scrubs yet until you know if they have certain school scrubs she needs or a specific colour -I'd suggest CNA track over the MA because you'll get the experience directly caring for more patients (especially if you get a job on a surgical unit in a hospital). MAs don't typically work on units in hospitals so you'll be further from your area of interest of surgery -life is not like Grey's Anatomy. Be prepared to wipe butts, get puked on, get yelled at, and question your every decision that brought you into the medical field. School and work and life will be hard, but you'll get through it -Cs get degrees. These courses and pathways are designed to be challenging -CNAs, dietary staff, custodial staff, phlebotomy, etc make the hospital function. No job is too small for anyone who's been trained how to do it. Treasure those staff members because they will make or break your shift and your patient's experience. -Be curious! Ask all your questions, write down everything you observe that you don't already know, and even Google lists of things to learn. There is a time, place, and way to ask your questions, but that's what will take your understanding and relationships to the next level. Ask your "why's and how's"! -find the staff that have the most experience and learn from them -get a mini sharpie, mini highlighter, and 4-colour pen to add to your badge reel so you always have them and people can't borrow them to never return them (also hoard pens) -get compression socks and shoes with support (comfort over style) -have your own trauma shears too If you have any questions or advice about anything more specific just reply to this comment or message me at @their.trans.nurse

Congratulations Bella! My daughter went to a Middle College for 5 years after her dad passed away. #1 make sure that all of your credits are transferable! My daughter just graduated from Engineering College. Funny story, she graduated from college (w/2 Associates degrees) 3 weeks before graduating from high school. She secured her internship at the age of 17 a few months after graduating. Proud of you! The sky is the limit!

I'm a CNA!! Congrats!!! Medical assistants are so needed!

Bella thought at one time she would never have a family, now she has a Mom and Dad, who celebrate her accomplishments, support them, and a Dad who takes the time to make her homemade soup and serve it to her in her sick bed. It's the little things that scream out I LOVE YOU AND WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU! Beautiful family!

I absolutely adore Bella. She’s such a great example to her siblings! Can’t wait to see where her journey takes her.

It's nice to see parents that are so proud of their kids and celebrate moments like this

I am a CNA and I am so proud of Bella for getting her foot into the medical field! I know with her sweet spirit she is going to thrive 💙

It’s so amazing to see her hard work paid off. But what’s even more amazing is that knowing that she is now with you guys gives her this opportunity she may not have had before. Crazy pieces you guys are amazing.

For Bella to refuse Chick-fil-A you know it’s serious. I hope she feels better soon.

As a foster mama I’m literally sobbing. We do littles and then pass them on to adoptive families, so we don’t see the outcomes.. plus the ones we’ve passed on are still young and elementary age.. but I pray they will continue their education and go to college. So seeing this video of Bella and how far she has come in such a short time I’m bawling my eyes out! Great parents and good job Bella!

Congrats Bella!!! My daughter is a CNA & has travelled to different states bc they are greatly needed. She is now in school to become a pharmaceutical tech. One step at a time to reach the career you really want.

I'm not surprised she got accepted to college, Bella is super focused and is very determined but at the same time I'm so chuffed for her, she is the most sweetest and kind young adult, the way she looked out for her two brothers all her life is a testimony to the kind of character Bella is, well done Bella so so happy for you

My girlfriend is a CNA and i couldnt be more proud of her for all the hard work she did and continues to do to this day. Congratulations bella your going to be great.

Congratulations Bella, so exciting! Get well soon. So nice to see Aaron with more energy, smiling and joking around.

So happy to see her aspire to this program and beyond. She’ll have a way to hep pay for expenses in college and a leg up in the medical world. Congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS BELLA! SO PROUD OF THE YOUNG LADY YOU HAVE BECOME!!

Medical assistant for sure over CNA. Good choice! Congrats!!! (ps. "medical school" isn't really the way to say it, that sounds like she is going to be a doctor)

Its good to see Aaron be more of himself. I know around Christmas he was down and just not being himself. So to watch this vlog of him being silly and in good spirits I'm glad to know he's being more of himself. Also Congrats Bella. You will go so far in the medical field. 😊

BIG CONGRATS BELLA! I used to work in an assisted living as a CNA and later as A Med Tech. A tip on scrubs, I got all of my scrubs at Walmart. You can find them near ladies intimates and pajamas. they usually have some cute ones as well as solid color ones. I've had everything from Disney characters, strawberry shortcake, kittens, puppies, and everything in between. Even ones themed toward holidays. All of them came from WalMart!

Yay Bella! I was a CMA for 18 years! Loved it! Way to go girl! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Prayers that you feel better soon Bella!

Congratulations 🎊 Bella!! So proud of you! 👩‍⚕️

Congratulations for Bella. She can do so much being a medical assistant especially if she gets certified. I went to school for medical assistant but I was older with kids. Don't buy too many scrubs until you find out if she has to have a certain color or can use any color. Love you guys. Tell Bella she can do this, no problem.

Congratulations Bella ❤️ 🥳🎉 I'm with Aaron on the reverse parking, its so much easier to pull out.

Congratulations, Bella! Grey’s is a great series. TV shows inspire a lot of people. My mom is a lawyer because she liked this old show, Perry Mason. And my best friend is an archaeologist because she loved Indiana Jones. And if I think about it, I’m a writer because of Jo March in Little Women. Sometimes interest in life comes from the life stories we get introduced to in fiction. Best of luck!

I am so proud of you Bella you are going to make a great nurse assistant. I should’ve said an awesome one. I am overly excited for you. Good job I cannot wait for you to become a nurse assistant. Good luck.❤

Congratulations Bella....As a CNA myself, the Medical assistant is totally the best option. You got this (even though I don't know you personally, I'm proud of you!!!!)

I feel so proud for Bella. Seeing someone following through with their goals is so inspiring! A Dr is such a tremendous goal and ots so desperately needed. I hope she never gives up! I know being a youtube or internet star is so attractive but truly following through with an education is even more important. Keep going bella even when u want to give up.

Congratulations Bella, you have worked so hard, both with school and with your family, looking after your brothers and staying so strong when things weren’t good. You really should be proud of yourself, and it’s trials like these, when you came out on top and kicked it in the a$$ that’s going to make you such an awesome Dr one day and really excel in which ever field you chose to specialise in. Everyone should be so proud of you, you came out on top and your such a fighter, and role model for many people watching CP I’m sure.

This is so great for Bella! After the negative life she has had, its amazing to see so many good things happening for her! Congrats Bella and I hope you do great things in life! Your entire family is wonderful!

Congratulations Bella, we are so proud of you! 🎊 🎉

Congrats to Bella on her going to college while still in high school! It may be hard juggling but I know she'll do great when she starts in July area. Medical field is a demanding area so it can be used everywhere. Again congrats 🎉 to Bella on being such a talented and devoted human being! Aaron and Chrystal look so proud in this video as I know the entire family and Joe is.

Speaking from experience, Bella wanting to be a surgeon, she should lean on the CNA program more. I went to school as an MA, and work is limited to doctors offices, rather then in a hospital setting… just a helpful suggestion. I regretted doing MA over CNA after I had finished & started looking for work. They’re seen as so different, even tho they seem similar 🤷🏽‍♀️

Congratulations Bella!!! As someone half way through pre med at Uni I can tell you’re going to absolutely smash it!!! You’re gonna be an amazing doctor/surgeon one day! Sending love from England ❤🤍❤️

CONGRATULATIONS, BELLA!!! 🥳 May this new chapter be filled with happiness, peace, fulfillment, and a positive impacts. 🙋🏻‍♀️ (High five!)

Congratulations Bella! This is huge and I’m so proud of you! You have been a mother to your brothers, found a forever family and now medical school! We will all be so blessed if you get to help anyone of us!

Congratulations Bella 🎉 Aaron and Crystal you are amazing parents. I love that you celebrate all of your children’s wins/ accomplishments big or small. You really know how to make people feel loved and special ❤

Congratulations Bella

Congratulations Bella! I am so proud of you kiddo! That's amazing! I want to tell everybody that reads this.... If you have a dream do not give up! What does many things that I have been through in life I have not given up on my college education even at 43 years old!!!! First time I've ever applied to college was in my early twenties and I must have been six different colleges by now (I think two other colleges I've been to twice). My first dream was to be an RN or a nurse anesthetist, but without their having a back surgery I realize that I need to sitting down job I decided to go into Medical Billing and Coding in which I absolutely fell in love with doing... Until I got overwhelmed with only six classes left to do and took a break... Then I was told that the college I was at that you have to finish your degree and a certain amount of time or you can finish with that degree. I think that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! A couple weeks ago I figured I'd go ahead and give it a shot and try again at the same College and now I'm going for my Medical Administrative Assistant but I'm very grateful that the credits that I have towards my other degree are transferable for this one. So it will not take me to years to complete my associates degree in Medical Administrative Assistant. I am one that does not give up on things easily! I wish I would have finished this but I can't change the past. Please people just don't give up on your dreams no matter what they are! Miracles can happen and dreams do come true! I get inspired answer you guys every video that I watch.... And I want to thank you all so much for that! Much Love Always, Kristen B 💕💕💕💕

Very proud of you Bella congratulations 🎊

Congratulations Bella! A shadow box would be something great for her to keep all of her mementos in and add pictures if she wanted something visual. Or a treasure chest that could be kept in a hope chest. I love my hope chest. I keep it at the end of my bed. My mom started putting things for my adult life in my hope chest when I was a little girl and I stored my quilt my grandmother made me in there.

Congratulations Bella, so incredibly proud of you

Congratulations on getting in. You seem the Person that will go far in life. If this is a private school for M.A. make sure that all the credits can be transferred to a big college to keep going. I made the mistake of not checking that out. and had to start over again when I went to get my Medical tech license

Huge congratulations beautiful Bella. You're gonna shine. Great job Mom & dad.

congrats bella!! just a point of info, her program isn’t called medical school lol. medical school is when people go for their MD or DO after undergrad. regardless, well done to bella!

I’m so happy for Bella!! When i was in high school we had the same courses at a different schooling at it was called “career center” so I attended for dental assisting and EMT! I LOVED my experience so much and wish Bella nothing but the best!! I have made some long time kids in those classes!!

Congratulations Bella! I’m catching up videos from when I had my baby in January. I am a nurse, and the medical field is so rewarding. You are going to do great, you have such a great heart❤

Stop calling it medical school Crystal because that's a whole different thing

Congratulations Bella!! You are going to do great things!! Stay focused and positive!!

Congrats to Bella!! I did dual enrollment my senior year of high school and it was the best decision! It also helped me figure out what I wanted to do in the medical field. I was a surgical technologist for almost 10 years and I think Bella would make a great surgeon, love her ambition!

Congratulations Bella its so well deserved. ❤️👩‍⚕️

Congratulations Bella! You will be a great doctor one day! So proud of you!

Crystal, Bella got in a Community College program that is parallel with her High School. She can take classes in the Community College and they will count towards both High School and Community College graduation. The program is called PSEO short for Post Secondary Enrollment Option. Certainly not medical school. Medical school requires 4 year college degree…

Congrats Bella, When I was in high school I attended a tech career center for nurse assistant and earned my nurse tech license. I am now in my first year of college and in my second semester.And will be doing Nursing. Congratulations again you will do great !!

Congratulations Bella, very exciting future your about to start and its going to be very satisfying doing something you’ve always wanted to do. The medical world has so many opportunities and I’m sure you’ll do very well in which ever field you choose xoxox

Congratulations Bella! My daughter’s father passed away when she was a baby and always said she wanted to be a Surgeon because of him and also because of Greys Anatomy. She applied for the Health Academy for High School next year. The Lottery for it is next week. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼and prayers. We are so happy for you.

When the family surprise 🫢 her I got tear up. So happy for her , I love medical and doc shows too .

Congratulations Bella ! You are amazing ! All you came through . There’s nothing you can do. ❤

Oh no Bella doesn’t feel good on a very happy day! Bless her heart! Thabk God she has always worked hard on her studies even though she went through all those horrible things, which I’m sure her brothers inspired her to be something so she can be a role model for them to! Love her!! She and all those kids hit the jack pot with these parents who are absolutely amazing ! Been here since the very 1st vlog!

My granddaughter is a senior in HS and she will graduate HS and Jr College at same time and already has her license to be medical assistant once she turns 18 next month, is working in er working people in and at 18 next month can actually work inside the ER.
