Prerequisites for Nursing School| Tips I Used to Help Me Survive| YourFavNurseB 

Listen to her, you guys!! I applied her video about study tips while doing my pre reqs 5 years ago !! I am now graduating with my BSN in 3 days. Nurse B is the truth.

Sigh.. I completed all my prerequisites for my BSN straight out of high school..Fast forward got pregnant..my courses (that I’m paying off) EXPIRED due to life and having kids turned single mom..LPN 3 1/2 yrs now..I need Jesus and ALL HIS DISCIPLES… for strength to re do these prerequisites so I can bridge

Yessss!!! They be money grabbing with the pre- prerequisites

I’m taking my pre reqs at a community college. Make sure your classes transfer. I want to be an LVN and bridge over into a ADN program that way I can still work and get my BSN online.

I'm taking my intro to A&P class in the fall of this year. I'm not taking it for 8 weeks. I am taking that course for 16 weeks. Science isn't a strong subject of mine. I have to really concentrate. I really like my community college. it's affordable and the payment plans are great. Plus i enjoy paying in-state tuition. Out of state tuition is so high. I am sticking with a community college.

I just got my LPN license I got all of my pre requisites and I have an associate degree I just don’t want to be in school over a year but am going to check the junior college like you said I just want to get my RN and I will go back to get my BSN after all of my friends are telling that I can get my BSN online but I will deal with that once I get my RN! Thank you 🙏 for your advice!!!

I can’t believe I’m back on this journey I used to watch you years ago! I start the lpn program 5/20❤

NurseB I love you. My butt is on a detox/fast too. I actually went to dinner with coworkers tonight and survived drinking just a glass of ice water while everyone downed pizza and loaded fries. Our waistlines will thank us!🥑🌱🍎🍌🍋

I'm so glad I ran into your video. I have been searching schools regarding nursing because I want to become a nurse. I'm a full time worker and single mom and searching for classes hoping I can find a night class but needing to check out prereqs. Thank you so much for all the tips

For my prerequisites, all I had to do was complete the science prerequisites (Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology). I had to learn the hard way on not taking 2 science classes in a semester. I took anatomy and chemistry at the same time to get it done. I highly don't recommend it. At the school I was going to, chemistry was a prerequisite to get into physiology and microbiology. I did feel like I did better in chemistry than I did in anatomy, but then I did better in physiology and microbiology.

I’m gonna start my prerequisites next year I’m sooo excited I’m saving money now lol😭

Girl, I was accepted to SCC nursing program. I’m exited and nervous at the same time . I’m finishing up my last two classes of prerequisites. I only applied one school so I’m glad they took me. I’m really scared that I wouldn’t survive in Nursing school even though I’m currently honor student this same community college. I will be keep watching your videos for encouragement 🥰

yet but, I have watched several others. My fiancé has been has been in my ear regarding enrolling in nursing school for quite a while now (no he is not a nurse) however, it has been a little intimidating. I graduated high school 13 years ago. I have no college education but have contemplated furthering my education. After subscribing and watching several of your videos I feel like I’m ready to make the leap. I’m 31 years old now and while I have a great job with excellent benefits, it will not afford me the growth I/We are looking for. You have given me the motivation and drive to really go for what I want and I want to thank you for it. I find your videos clear and relatable. They make me feel that I can do it too and I should do it too. What you are doing means something and I’m thankful to have you as a reference! I have 3 community colleges in the chicago area that I am now considering. I have requested information from all three and am completely eager to get my feet wet! Again thank you for what you do and have done! Shaun T

Thanks for the knowledge!

On point! Thank you!

This is the most helpful video I’ve watched so far! Thank you so much.

Thank you for all of this great information. Times have changed recently, pre requisites are no longer needed here in the state of GA for LPN. Need TEAS and orientation now. Still Need preqs to bridge to RN later though. Previous CMA or CNA licensing earn points toward score sheet as well.

This is a great video. I also recommend taking advantage of taking a withdraw versus failing the course or not doing well. The loss of money short term is better than having to take semesters worth of classes to show improvement in GPA. Also, if you’re planning for a nursing degree that doesn’t include all of the hard sciences do yourself a favor and take them anyway if you want to give yourself the option of NP, PA, MD, routes post-prerequisite/ or nursing. Sciences and working full-time is a recipe for disaster most times.

I wish I had this video years ago

Thanks so much.. this information was so so helpful ❤

Also putting that petal to the metal is useful😂 I had a C in chemistry two left in a fast track, push that gas and got that B.

"Drink your greens, Drink your greens hunny" we love Nurse B ❤

Sis it took me a year to get through my prerequisites. I passed the TEAS this past summer and will find out if I get a seat for this fall. I am so excited. The only reason I didn’t apply to multiple school is because I didn’t want to take the TEAS over.

dang mama B ❤you laid out the whole truth.. I’ve gone threw 20 videos and the other girls wanted to to keep on the info to themselves…😢Thank you ..

Thank you so much! I was confused on if I had to do prerequisites or not because I took calculus and science in high school but I’ve been out for almost 6 years lol and thank you for not rambling and getting straight to the point. I need to do my taxes and then apply for financial aid and I can start this journey. Thank you queen!

Graduating with my LPN in 2 weeks! Taking a couple classes this summer and fall that I need to bridge over to ADN, than bridging over in the summer of next year only needing 2 more semesters. I say do LPN route first if you plan on continuing! Even though I’ll be seen as a “tech” in the hospital, I want to work in the ER and I’ll learn so much there. 3rd and 4th semester are centered around MedSurge so me working as a nurse/tech in the meantime will help me grow my skills.

I like these tips! Theres also programs that pay for nursing school like the un-employment office..which in Texas they gave gas cards and paid daycare and paid for school and supplies. I went to a career college for lvn here so I might do a bridge there but get it paid for.

Thank you 🙏 you are the best ❤

I love all your videos! You're the best. I am applying for Fall 2025 nursing program at my community college. They want me to take Elementary Algebra I, B minimum. Essentials of Chemistry, B minimum. Biology of the Human Organism, C minimum. I can't believe they only need 3 pre requisites. Then the HESI entrance exam, which is 70% in all main subject areas and 70% cumulative score.

Very helpful thank you

Thank you! ❤

We don't have math as are prerequisites, thank God❤ besides the placement test OR you have to take the ACT.

Planning out a schedule made me want to snatch my hair out 😂

You....are.....the...BEST!!!🙄🙄🙄

that would suck so bad if that happened to me! Two and a half years from now I'll be almost 70 years old. I literally don't have the time for them to be jacking my prerequisites all up

I already have a bachelors in another field every school I try to go for the bachelors program they send me straight to the masters program nursing is hard and general and i don’t feel comfortable jumping straight into a masters I was in two lpn programs and left as that was hard I’m just trying to start on my prerequisites now and a community college is very hard for me any recommendations everyone is saying portage

I found out I have 6 pre-reqs (Anatomy and Physiology 1&2, English Comp 1&2, College Algebra, Microbiology, Gen Psych, and Chemistry for non majors) to take before applying to the nursing program, but Im determined to get through them and become a Nurse❤ Thanks for the info.

I been in a lccc college for too many years they took me into the program and scrub me; took me for the pm class and I can’t no so pm class because religion; they even care, at this point I’m the one lose time without applying somewhere else; thinking that others program won’t take me, because I have foreign curse.

Damn!!! I’m a 3.0 student with B’s, C’s and a few A’s lol in my pre reqs. Trying to bump all my C’s into A’s

Can you do a video on chemistry please I'm so nervous about it. Love your videos. P.s I know it's been awhile since you took chem but if you can give pointers and an idea of what to study I'll very much appreciated it❤

The jc colleges in Sacramento,ca go by gpa and not placement exams, but they still have pre reqs for the higher classes

Thanks for doing this video ! Also, any suggestions for getting into Teas testing without procrastinating🤦🏾‍♀️

Any advice you can offer me? I am trying to get LPN? I am a Working mom with enough savings to take off a year and not work. Should I take loans go to school full time fast track LPN program and throw myself into it all the way or work part time/school part time? The job I’m at now pays for tuition reimbursement but I don’t think I can focus on school working as a mom.

Im insane I have like 5 prerequisites and 4 of them are science 😢.

My first and only classes for next semester is A&P 1 and A&P 1 with lab so its two classes. I was thinking about taking Psych with it but i heard A&P is so difficult i should just take it alone😭

❤👍🏿

How do you feel about schools that offer , the prerequisites within the nursing program ? I just recently moved from Rhode Island where there was only about 4 nursing schools. Now I’m in Florida and there’s so many options and many of the schools will let you do them while in the program.

Is this for LPN also

Main reason why I'm going to Iowa is for Nursing School.
