How To Become A Registered Nurse 

I'm 16 and I'm lost. I wanted to be a doctor but I'm not down for all those years. I also want a family and i just don't see myself working like that and being on call etc. So I'm glad for you giving methis information

Step 1: GED Step 2: 2 years of prerequisites. Step 3: apply for nursing program Step 4: 2 years of nursing education and graduate. Step 5: NCLEX

My college offered me guaranteed admission for their nursing program through a fast track program that I applied for in high school so definitely look out for that guys 💞

I want to be a nurse but I’m stupid lol 😂🤷🏾‍♀️

Great content. Remember when looking at a ADN or BSN RN program. Look at your financial status, living stutation, accreditation of the school, the school NCLEX pass rate. I am a new grad RN with a ADN. In my state I got a position working in ICU at a large magnet hospital. Plus the hospital will pay for me to get my BSN. I have a friend in the same state and we work at the same hospital. They are RN with BSN and works on Med-Surg floor. They are 60K in debt and make about a dollar more than me. Remember nursing school is hard. Not everyone is successful in the nursing program. Please do your research and pick a program that fits you. STAY ON YOUR gRiNd.

I also recommend taking AP classes in high school for chemistry etc it will take off your prerequisite loads Also if you work in a different career or couldn’t get in you can turn your bachelors into a nursing masters degree in accelerated nursing program. You also can become a LPN and turn that into a bachelors... You can also take your prerequisites at a technical school to save money and then apply to universities nursing school

Omg!! Yessssss my girl is back thank God lol I'm so happy I just walked out of work to see a notification saying you posted a video. This made my day and the fact that it is even a step-by-step way to become a RN makes it even better since I'm on the road to becoming one.

I'm going into my junior year in high school and I just found out that my school has an Anatomy and physiology class so I'm definitely taking that class my senior year, thank you Alexis 💜

i liked before i even watched because i knew it was going to be super amazing- like all of your other videos. you’re my #1 inspiration! love ya 💗

yes i got so hype when this popped up on my youtube suggestions 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

i’m literally a sophomore and want to be in the medical field and i love watching your videos to give me so much advice your so helpful and i love that you explain everything!!

Yes more hospitals are moving towards hiring more BSN nurses, but feel out the area you live in. I live in rural Maine and i have my ADN, the new grads I was hired with that have their BSN only make 50 cents/hr more than I do. I think as long as you stress that you plan on going back to school in your interviews, you have a pretty good chance getting hired with an ADN! Also, you enter the work force sooner and most employers will pay you to go back to school. Once i go for my BSN i can do it all online too!

can you do a video of literally how your interview went?? like the questions that were asked and how you answered?

This is a big question that I had and it really helped . I’m in high school and my mind is set on being a nurse . Your such an inspiration and your videos help so much you don’t even know 🤗💖

Next month I start my prereqs for nursing !! You’re channel has been so helpful and always encourages me 🤗 keep up the videos !

Each video you post gets me so excited for graduating!

This video was uploaded at the perfect time 😩🙌🏽 thank you

Great points! I'd definitely recommend getting a job in the healthcare field, department specific if you can, at any point prior or even during nursing school. Whether that be a transporter, unit coordinator, receptionist, medical records, nursing assistant, etc, etc. Even if it's a couple hours a week. Volunteer if you're able to. Being in the atmosphere of the hospital is invaluable experience you just WON'T get from school, and it will give you a definite LEG UP throughout the program. Once you graduate, you've already established a, hopefully good ;), reputation somewhere-- and landing a job should be a breeze. Just be sure not to carry bad habits you may observe in the hospital/facility OVER into nursing school, as the didactic curriculum will expect you to answer 'by the book.' Thanks so much for taking the time to explain all of this Lexi. It's EXTREMELY important information for prospective nurses!

I needed this video I’m going into my senior year of high school and have been seriously considering becoming a RN but don’t know anyone who knows anything about that field which really discouraged me but after seeing this video I’m so thankful. Thanks for this video it came at just the right time! Also I love you and all your videos!❤️

THANK YOU 🙏🏻 I was getting overwhelmed because I did not understand what would happen when I start applying to nursing school, your video saved. Me.❤️

Speak about on time 🤗 going into my senior year of high school and this was a big help and gets straight to the point ‼️

I graduated with my ASN 3 years ago after a 16 month program & getting a job as a new grad was thankfully a LOT easier than I thought it was going to be. Getting a job in specialty areas like Peds, NICU, Mother Baby, L&D is damn near impossible without a BSN, period. Have you applied for your multi state license? That’s the compact licensure you were referring to. I believe Texas is a compact state. Useful for anyone looking to do travel nursing.

I am just starting my freshman year in college to prepare for nursing school! I love your videos they are so helpful! 💓

I was just asking my friend for help yesterday, and this came. Thank you so much!! 💙💙

I’m tryna plan my future now as a 12 year old because at some ages some teens don’t know what their want to do with there life

I love your channel your videos are so helpful they’re answering pretty much all of my questions so far , this is soo encouraging love it❤️

I’m applying to be in the nursing program in January so I can start to get my ASN!!! I highly HIGHLY recommend taking AP classes in highschool ( not just medical, include math, English, history etc). I took so many AP classes in highschool and the credit I received allowed me to skip a lot of classes and save so much money in college. The path I’m on right now, when I get admitted into the nursing program, I will only have to take nursing classes and none of the other classes they revoked I take along with them. While I’m getting my ASN they have us take the nursing exam to be an RN so I’m excited to be able to start working right off the bat. My school also has a transfer programs so I can get my BSN right after!

Im deciding to go back to school this year for nursing and I'm honestly soooooo excited.

Start my bsn program in August! You’re videos are so helpful💕😊 I’m super nervous yet excited at the same time

It’s smart to actually get your ASN before BSN, work while you are getting your BSN, that will get you some experience to add on to your resume

i’m gonna start nursing school soon. i’m pretty excited

I would like to add that 7:40 when you say you can “only work as a nurse in Florida” that Florida is a member of the eNLC. AKA: the licensure for Florida is actually usable in other compact states. Some states are non-compact, however, as of January 19th, 2018, the eNLC was implemented and Florida (the license you received) is apart of this. Therefore, you are actually able to practice and travel in all compact states as a registered nurse. Please like this for the information.

At my school you can get your CNA senior year of high school which is what I want to do but the classes are small and split between 3 schools soooo fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I liked the video before I watched it because I know you’re going to give killer info 💪🏼

I loved this so much!!!❤️❤️🤗😍 The beginning was everything!! Haha ❤️❤️❤️

I wanted to be a RN ever since I was 5, 16 now and still want to be one, I will strive to become one, you are so inspirational I love it😊.

Girl yes! You inspire me so much !

I like that you love that you accomplished what you wanted. The next step now, go for it.

Drop the skin care routine girl. ❤

Hey...im just going to start my journey in Nursing...and you are my biggest inspiration... wish me luck and i love you....

The diploma or certificate applies to Practical Nurses, and as a soon to be LPN myself we are MOST certainly needed and are not phasing out. Anyone wanting to be a nurse but because of time, finances or family/work balance Practical Nursing offers a solid foundation to create a career.

Your video is super helpful! It gave me a lot of info i was looking for and simplified it for me. I just graduated high school and I want to become a nurse. Thanks again for the help 🤍

Actually, “diploma nursing” aka LPN isn’t being “phased out.” There are quite a few LPN programs in the surrounding area in which I live. LPN’s in my area can work pretty much anywhere that an RN can. I just don’t like that people aren’t considering LPN’s nurses anymore. I’m currently waiting to get into an LPN program, then plan on bridging to RN when I get to that point.

This video was very informative but I wish you went into more details of the different pathways to becoming a nurse because not everyone decides to be a nurse from high school. You didn't talk about ABSN programs or maters of entry programs and those are very helpful for people who already have a bachelors degree not in nursing.

I love your hair color.

I’m going to be a senior this year and really want to be a nurse and this really helped me 🙏🏽

thank you for this video, it was very helpful and just made me more excited about becoming a nurse!!!!! I honestly cannot wait till I start school by the end of this year! I just finished my contract from serving in the United States Army and with completing my contract, they give me the G.I Bill to go to school and plus I couldn't afford to pay for it myself when i got out of HS.

I would love a room tour it looks so pretty!

Kinda like Alexis, I am apart of an automatic acceptance program with my local community college so I get my ADN and then as long as I pass my NCLEX then I’m automatically accepted into the four year college in my state to get my BSN! A lot of community colleges do this with their state school and it saves SOOOOOO much money, would highly recommend anybody look into it

When I applied for college, I put my major down as nursing and they accepted me as a first year. Not every college will do this depending on your grades though. I start my 1st year of college in the fall 😋

wow you speak so well and very informative, and so beautiful to watch

I’m only 15 and I’ve always wanted to be a doctor/medical field but I decided that’s what I wanted to do when I was in like midddle school and I was in it because of the pay but I’ve been watching your channel and it helped me think maybe I should be a nurse and if I feel I want to extend my career I can go back to school to become a doctor and this video was very helpful to give me an idea on what I want to do so thank you 💗

Thank you for sharing this information ! Very helpful

Hi! I just discovered your channel and I've already spent hours watching your videos! I am a senior in high school, and you've answered so many questions I've had about becoming a nurse! You describe things in such a real way and it makes me even more excited to go into nursing school. Thank you sooo much!!!

This was so helpful! Thank you so much for this video, I literally took notes of everything you said 😂

You can get your adn, qualify to become a rn. For 2 years. Then find a school that offers rn to bsn program. That usually takes up about 1 year. So instead of going straight to get a bsn.

I love you so much. You're my inspiration. ❤️

I'm about to be a high school senior, and the reality of life is hitting me right now. I'm Filipino, and if you already didn't know, Filipinos are stereotypically all nurses. All my life, I rejected nursing as a career, but now I have come to a realization that it is something I want to pursue. If I think AP courses are hard, I am in for a ride becoming a registered nurse. Thank you for this video.

Can you do a video on what to put on your resume once you finish nursing school?

Just passed nclex! Now tackling my resume, any tips on what it should look like or anything?? (possible video on this? lol)

The nursing school I’m going to the BSN program is 2 years, and when I get my BSN I’m going back for another 2 years to get my Masters in Nursing

I suck at math but I love science and all that stuff

Your hair gives me so much lifee🙆🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️

So helpful!! 💕

this helped me a lot. thank you!

I am in high school i really want to become a nurse

You should do a video on tips to getting into nursing school!!

You look exactly like the girl from season 3 of love is blind!!!! Raven :) seriously. The resemblance is crazy!

you look so good alexis!😍🔥

Some community colleges are teaming up with their local state colleges in a dual enrollment program, meaning you can apply and enroll to get your ADN at the community college and your BSN through the other state colleges via online at the same time, saving a lot of time and money. I know MD colleges have done this, not too sure about other states.

If in high school I suggest taking college classes during your junior and senior year to work towards your degree which is what I am doing now and I already have 30 credits I am personally getting my adn first and then doing the RN to BSN program also for most high School students you don't have to pay but the only problem is all school won't accept your college credit

Hi. I thank you for sharing this. Helped me a lot.

In Canada you can get your BScN right after graduating high school, that's what majority of people do

We have a 3 year bsn at my school. I graduate the adn program next june and it easy more convenient for me being a mom. I plan to do my bsn online that way im not on campus a whole 3 years. I like working from home

That sing a long session at the beginning, I am so here for 😉

Love your videos!

7:28 Transferring your RN license to from state to state, may not be as complicated as you may think. Thanks to the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). ... Nurses will have the ability to practice in both their home state and other states that participate in the NLC.

I am New subscriber and your such an inspiration for me and I want to be niccu nurse thank you for making videos to help future nurses out

Thank u 4 this video ... love u!!!❤️❤️❤️

I have a few options but one is really standing out to me... there’s a nursing school who’s offering an RN Diploma and then if you want to get your BSN they’re affiliated with an university and you could do it, they offer you a job as soon as you graduated, If you work 15 hours a week while you are in nursing school they’ll pay for your education and it’ll take just 3.5 years to get everything done, of course you have to compete your prerequisites and then go to nursing school. What are your thoughts in this?

Could you film an update video on working in the ED? Now that you’ve spent some time working there, can you share how things are going?

I’m binge watching ur videos , & I’m quickly obsessing lol 😍 braainnn & beauty 🔥

Very much needed

Will start prerequisites soon

She has a mix of Chantelle and Catherine Paiz all together😍.

My dream is to become a nurse. I’m at a point in High school where I have to make choices and i’m stressed. I only see myself in nursing school. Nothing else. Im going to work hard and hope for the best.

Just need my maths! Then hopefully going to apply! 😬😬

I got my GED and I'm trying to go to college for RN.

Am currently doing my nursing degree, and they phasing out the associates in 2020, so I will be doing a dual major so I can get my BSN faster.

Great vid! Can you make a video on accredited concurrent programs? I live in GA. Googled it but didn’t find much info. I already have a bachelors in another discipline but I’m trying to decide if I want to get my ADN or just go into an accelerated BSN. Paying for school out of pocket so ADN is def looking like the better option lol. But if I can do a concurrent program thats even better

yess this hair color on you 💕

lollol that intro killed me!!!! hahahahaha. Girl you da best!

Okayyy but girl your makeup 😍😍😍

I start my program in the fall and I’m super nervous....sometimes I doubt my capabilities did you ever go through that? From what I’ve seen so far (during cpr training and scrub fittings) my cohort is not necessarily people that i could see myself ever really collaborating with outside of school. It makes me feel self conscious!

how often do you have to renew your license? i have heard two years. if so, is it possible to move around from different states every two years?

Listening you sing. I notice you will be a good nurse....

I live in New York and My high school is a school for nursing and gives us nursing internships

Can you come back with the vlogs❤️❤️??

I need some advice! I just graduated high school and don’t know how to get recommendations letters if I’m not in school. I’m the first to graduate in my family and regret not getting help since I thought for the longest time I wanted to join the military. What should I do??

So I have a question can you just get your BSN instead of the ASN or you have to to get both in order to get your BSN?
