The founder and CEO of RNExplained was preparing for an exam in June 2020 when she started sharing her educational videos on TikTok
“I was preparing for what we call the NCLEX for nursing. And it was just when the pandemic happened, so I had no one to study with. I would put myself on the wall and write it down. And then I posted it on social media and people liked it.”
In June 2020, Beggs shared her first tutorial video on TikTok, and viewers started asking her to buy her handwritten notes.
Demand led to her Etsy shop, RNExplained, where she sells her notes and care-themed merchandise, including t-shirts, notebooks and sticker sets.
“I created a store that ended up going viral,” she explained. “So now I’m selling study sheets. I passed the boards a long time ago, and now I sell them to students who are approaching their exams and taking tests in nursing school.’
Prices range from $2 for a single worksheet to study terms to $30-$40 for subject packs for her classroom. She also offers a comprehensive nursing school kit with all her records for $115.
Beggs told Webster that last year she “hit $2 million” in revenue and turned RNExplained into a full-time job.

This year, Beggs was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the education sector following her incredible success
At 25, she started an accelerated nursing program, which led to her TikTok page and tutorials a year later.
“I work 12-hour shifts at the hospital and when it’s over, I go home and work on being an influencer and my business. When I have days off, all I do is work on social media, whether it’s creating and editing content or responding to comments, DMs and emails,” wrote Beggs, who shoots and edits her own videos.
She noted that everything she teaches on social media “comes.” full circle in real life in the emergency room.”
“Even two years later, it’s still mind-blowing that my TikTok has blown up so much. Sometimes it can be so shocking that so many people want to follow me,” she admitted. “But then I take a step back and realize that I’ve put in so much work and that it shouldn’t be so surprising that people admire and love my content.
“At the end of the day, I feel really good about being able to influence people’s care and health care pathways the way they have influenced me.”
