HOW TO BECOME A NURSE | CNA, LVN & RN *MY PATH* 

Let me know if anyone has any questions! Comment and ask down below or even DM me on Instagram! ☺️🩺👩🏽‍⚕️

going to community college first is definitely the smartest route and very much underrated especially for nursing programs!!! working as a CNA/LVN definitely can help better/build a resume for an RN job and not much ppl know about it!!!! your video tells it all :)))

Community college is where its at💯💯💯 Also keep in mind that everyone is on their own journey, TRUST YOUR PROCESS😌😁

People who take this route are always the best nurses! 💛🙌🏽

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! I was sooooo nervous to go to lvn route because I thought that it was a set back. You helped me realize that sometimes you have to make changes in life. Thank you sm!

Great video, no nonsense, straight forward information. Love the honesty. Started with your correctional video and just keep watching. Thanks!!

Girl you're literally my hero. This is exactly what I'm thinking on doing and I wasn't sure how to go about it. Thank you so much for this video.

Yessss. I recommend this route. I’m on this same path now, I’m an aide doing home health now enrolled at ecpi in the LVN Program! Working home health while in nursing school gives you so much more time , I’m able to do my work while I’m sitting with my patients compared to working in a facility

I had to pause in the middle of the video and just comment on how informational it is. I have always wanted to be a nurse but never thought I could actually do it. But after talking to a few people and ultimately watching this video definitely makes me want to do it. In the beginning I let so many people discourage me and in the end I felt like I was going to fail. Hearing your story, the good the bad, just the brutal truth made me feel comfortable in some type of way. So thank you for sharing your story with us. Thank you for encouraging me💕

HERE FOR THIS VIDEO 1,000%! My favorite hands down! So excited for your growth, ain’t nothing easy about this career. But the best is yet to come. Much love and support Jay. XOXO Stay safe gorgeous 💜🤍

Thank you so much. This is what I needed. I am currently a CNA just got accepted to start in January. Am so excited. Thank you so much for this video

Love this video! Thank you for all the info you shared! It’s one of the best videos I’ve seen!! I was a medical assistant for 7 years and now going on my 10th year as an LVN and I’m finally back in school for my RN. It’s definitely been a journey, wish I would’ve gone back sooner but here I am.. it’s never too late 💙

Woww! 👏🏽I love how detailed your vid was! Really one of the best vids i have seen! Love that you provided the real deal about your experience, cost, & pay. My goal is to become an RN, im a CNA that jst finished the prereqs but feel not competitive enough bc i got a “C” in anatomy 3yrs ago. I manifest this lifestyle for myself✨Thank you for this vid💕

I am 17 years old, I graduated high school when i was 15. I finished my pre requisite classes for college and am going to take the HESI Nursing entrance exam to enter nursing school in a couple of weeks. Wish me luck!!!!!! After the exam, i will enter the nursing's program and study for 2.5 years and graduate from the program and hopefully get my license work at clinicals and hospitals and be an RN Wish me luck people

Oh lord I began my Rn at PCC next month, how exciting to stumble upon your video! ❤️❤️

I love how well done this video is put together ! You look so beautiful by the way!!! 🥰🥰

I’m a CNA and make 33$. I’m starting LVN school in March!!! 🙏❤️❤️

It's the fact that you answered all of my questions in one video , thankyou ✨

This video changed the course of my life honestly. You’ve shown me a different path to my RN. I’m also a PCC student btw. Thank you 🙏

I completed a Medical Assistant program at a Community College and I just completed my externship and I loved it so much! I signed up for a few prerequisite classes so I can to try to get into a LVN program at SCC and they have the beige program. It’s so competitive in California to get straight into an RN program. I hope I can get into the LVN program next fall.

I needed this video thank you I been stressed I just graduated being a medical assistant now I feel lost because nobody in my family in the medical field so I came here and got my answers thank you will start with community college I was stressed about that too I’m a single mom of one and didn’t want to get bombed 🙏🏾🙏🏾💯

This video was so helpful and I admire you for sharing your story! Some of my family have been being negative since I decided to switch from RN to doing the LPN/LPN program and it’s irritating. I currently work as a Tech/CNA so I just want to be able to graduate sooner and make more money so I can be financially secured during RN school. Glad u mentioned it being a back route to your path. Just b/c you don’t start off as RN doesn’t mean you won’t end up being one. And you proved that❤️.

We love an informative queenie 👑

The impaction and competition for RN programs in California is insane. I’ve learned personally it’s extremely hard to go straight to RN here. I completed prerequisites with a 3.9 GPA and 89 on the TEAS and still couldn’t get into all 5 RN programs I applied to. I’ve realized I made the mistake of not getting experience in healthcare beforehand; some schools give more points for that. So now I’m about to start CNA school, and possibly LVN later

This information was sooo helpful and amazing the way you explained everything!

Thank you for this video!!! I am in my last semester of pre reqs at a university and already $30,000 in debt 🥲 I am on the BSN track but have been looking into different ways to get to my goal as a RN and stumbled upon LVN/ LPN programs. It is basically the same timeline if I got my LVN than did a bridge program like you but the tuition is cut in half! I was scared because a lot of people say LVN do not get hired but I am staying strong and listening to you girl!! I will bring going to CNA school in the summer than LVN school in the fall 💛

she got beauty and brains!!! 😍😍

Thank you for this video love this definitely helped me out you should feel accomplished girllll a RN at 25 you go girlll 💗

Congrats!!! Thanks for sharing. I am taking my prereqs for lvn. I cannot wait to get started. :)

My dad is a NP so I know how hard nursing school and training can be! Congrats!

CNA now, going to work in a new Assisted Living facility part time and now I'm about to start my Pre-reqs for LPN or RN... I'm gonna fulfil all of the RN pre-reqs and apply for the two LPN programs here and the 1 RN program and whichever takes me, I'll go towards. I'm hoping for the LPN first though because its a quicker route, higher pay and more prep for RN. We'll see. I love seeing this. Thank you!

So I got in the LPN program this summer 2021 at my college. My main goal is RN so I will do the bridge program the following year or so. I have always been in the hospital settings and they start off a new LPN at $21 and a new RN at $25 out here in PA. I am so glad I found your video about home health pay , I did some research for Bayada home health and they start their LPN off at $30-$35 and RN at $38-$40.

It takes a special person to be a nurse. Thank you for what you do!

Great minds think alike I’ll be applying this fall and that’s my plan to apply to both programs so I’ll be doing a video on that soon

This is so awesome for those who want to work in the nursing field!!

Omg thank you so much for this video it was so informative! Thanks for breaking this info down!

Amazing video. I’m almost doing the same thing as you!! About to finish up my LVN in 3 months and want to work home health because you do make your own schedule, so then I can go straight into the bridge to BSN :))

Wat a journey! Love this for you

Omg ! I am so glad I stumbled on this video! This inspired me to keep on going to school . I just finished my LPN in mid MaY.

Wow your so inspiring 🥰 thank you for such a great video!

You’re so gorgeous! I am in the LVN program and can’t wait to be done this year. I plan to bridge LVN to RN in 2022 :)

I really needed this ! Thank you !

Loved this video! Very informative. Thank you boo.

Congratulations crisis nurse very wonderful video the most frustrating thing with me is the pre requisites for am an LPN and that pre requisites is what is pulling me back.

thank you for sharing I am a CNA now and I am looking to go back to school and the way break it down I appreciate you I am going to find a community college with that program and thank your hubby for his service 2, god bless you both new subbie.

Congratulations!!! Wow you are absolutely amazing!!!! 🥰

Ill be starting my CNA training at Moon River and I'm so excited

Thank you for this informative video and congratulations on your career! :)

Thank you so much for this video!! Can you do an update when you graduate? What the starting pay is for BSNs? I’m going to start school in August for my BSN but I live in AZ. I’m considering being a travel Nurse

This is seriously my EXACT plan. I start a sponsored CNA program through a rehabilitation care facility in mid September and at the end of September I’m getting my pre req’s for LPN school done and then I’m going to get my CNA 2 so I can work in the hospital. I plan on going to LPN school next fall. Thank you so much for sharing your story

Wow you’re amazing !🩷

Hi I absolutely love this video! I’m a current student at community college, and going to apply to a ADN program this upcoming fall and before that I’m going to do a CNA program in the summer. I’m wondering why you didn’t have to do clinicals?

So much good advice. Thank you

Congratulations, you are amazing! Your journey sounds so much like mine, but I have not yet been accepted into LVN school. Heres to hoping! Thank you for all of this information, it was so very helpful

Great video!!! ❤️❤️

I thank you so much for your encouraging words. I’m a patient care tech level 2 now. The nurses I work with were like girl just go into nursing school. Why are you doing all that. I’m like bc I have to pay outta pocket and it’ll be cheaper. They were trynna tell me cost of school was about the same and I won’t make anything as a lpn but all the research I was doing was saying that I was!!! So I am so happy that I found your video to confirm that I’m on the right path 🙏🏾🔮😇 I do have one question, do you think I should go ahead and get my CNA license? As I stated before, I’m a PCT II and I just have my CPR license.

I loved listening to your story.. wish it was like that in CT... your on your own trying to get your RN.. and there's not really bridge courses it's sad... but awesome girl❤️❤️

Oh wow I went to PCC as well!! I graduated in 2013. How awesome!

This was great info. Thank you l.

JAYLIN! I'm so glad I found this video! I've worked as an HHA while doing my pre-reqs at a community college (I am currently working as a CNA floater at a hospital in San Diego) My goal is to be an LVN. Perhaps RN sometime down the road. However, all the LVN programs that I am looking into seem to have a long waitlist ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PANDEMIC. I am strongly considering an LVN private school ($37,000). I know it is a lot BUT I think it would pay for itself. Do you have any insight? Please and thank you!

Hey it's me again! I'm watching a bunch of yt videos for RNs and I recently commented on your prison video. I want to ask, do you feel that being a new grad going into home health, you're getting foundational skills in nursing? I'm asking bc I hear exposure to bedside such as telemetry, med Surg, and or ER is the best as far as developing core nursing skills. What's your input?

Hi, loved your video! Im starting an lvn program in 2 months but I can’t decide which route to take after getting my lvn license. Did you do the lvn-rn bridge program where you get you AS degree or the 30 unit program where you do not get a degree but will be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN? Or was it an LVN-BSN program? In the end I want to get my BSN, just not sure how I want to get there yet.

This was very insightful

Your so beautiful and you did a great job explaining 💜💜

When I tell you this is how my college was with me when I was in college the first time. When I tell you I’m discouraged right now but ima figure it out cause I’m Air Force. A lot of schools don’t especially if your military, but I won’t let it stop me I’ll be a Nurse period!

You’re the best and so real

Hi Jaylin, my name is Daisy and I have a quick question... I barely graduated high school and planning to do nursing. I want to graduate as soon as possible so do you think it’ll be best doing community then starting off as a cna and building my way up? What would you recommend?

Heyy!! I went to citrus college for CNA!! Great instructors!!

🤩🤩🤩 KILLIN THE GAME

Omg I went to cal state la too. Lol I def partied waaay to much my first year. Idk how I passed. I ended up going to a cc as well. Now in a lvn program & will bridge over. Funny how life works and how some of our paths are actually similar. Went to a cna program in Monterey park too 😂. That’s crazy.

Thanks dear. Your video is helpful. I just got my Lvn license and am about to start working with an agency and they placed me in a convalescence facility and i want to do the bridge lvn-rn course but my school doesn't offer it because it's a private school so I want to apply in los angeles trade technical college for the bridge courses. Hope am on the right track?

Thank You So Much For This Message!!!

So let’s say I get into LVN trade school right out of high school what would be my next step into nursing school ?

Thank you for sharing your path

This is so helpful! Whether you want to be a nurse or not ☺️

I love your vid is so educational

Hey quick question when you talk about your undergrade where you going for the ADN ? I was going to do LPN first but school isn’t for me so i was going to ADN and the find a BSN program is that basically what you did is LVN the same as a ADN basically?

I just found this video and it's so helpful. I'm currently a CMA and just got accepted into the LPN program. I dont plan on bridging into the RN program, but who knows I might change my mind later on. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for information, God bless.

I loved this

Congratulations!!

this helped me so much thank youuuu

Love your video girl! Do you need to take an nclex pn to proceed to lpn rn bridge program? Thank you! Stay beautiful ❤

This is a good video. Thank you. 😊🤗

I just graduated high school and I did a dual enrollment program for CNA at my technical college here while still in high school. The path that you took is currently the path im taking!! I have lots of questions. I am working as a CNA now but next month im majoring in LPN!

Love this

How and where do I start for the LVN program? What schools do you suggest. I am currently in CC, went from a nursing mind to now a psych mind lol but I know my passion is nursing. What are some of your suggestions?

I love this! So much good info 😍

I’m really late to your video but I absolutely loved all the info you provided☺️🥰 I have been working in the medical field for 10 plus years ..do you think LVN’s will still continue to be in such high demand even after the pandemic? Thinking of the schooling for LVN but hoping that by the time I start and finish all the demand will still be there? 😬

Very informative video💯

Love your video I start at WCUI here in Ca I’m sooo happy

Heyyy came from 5on5iveee 🥰🥰🥰

Hi I was wondering do you know if I get my LVN at American career college can I still bridge at a community college ? I only need 4 more classes to apply to an RN program . The reason why I’m going the private school route is because I work full time abs I have a state job great benifits with an ok salary well actually no not that great salary ) but I have mortgage abs a young daughter so I don’t want to leave my state job . My goal is to get my license with a part time evening LVN program at ACC. And then work in home health and bridge to an RN program …. I wish I could do it the more affordable route like you did but my circumstances are different . I’m just wondering if I would still be able to bridge at a CC

Thank you, very motivational. This video helps. :)

This intro was so adorable

Can I just say that the quality of your videos are amazing! What camera do you use?? And editing software?? Also, girl you are killing it especially being so young! Keep going 💕

Lets say i don’t go to a community college but i go to a private college and get my LPN license. Can i still do the Lpn to Rn in a community college??

At PCC did it take a year to complete the diploma RN or is that for ADN the one year bridge program?

2:25 apply to many 5:40 Lvn home help - gives you time

So lvn to rn programs is a good path because I want to join but I jjst want to know if lvn start working and gaining experience? And then when u become a rn u have more experience and can get a job faster ?
