Stephanee Beggs, 28, from California, turned her side hustle into a full-time business after she went viral on TikTok, where she now has over 650,000 followers thanks to her teaching videos.
The RNExplained founder and CEO shared her incredible success story on Fox Business's Varney & Co Monday after being named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the education sector this year.
'I fell right into it. It was very unintentional. I got started selling my notes when I graduated from nursing school,' she told host Ashley Webster, who was subbing in for Stuart Varney.

Beggs shared her first teaching video on TikTok in June 2020, and viewers started reaching out to her, asking to buy her handwritten notes.
The demand led to the creation of her Etsy shop, RNExplained, where she sells her notes and nursing-themed merchandise, including T-shirts, notepads, and sticker packs.
'I created a shop that eventually became viral,' she explained. 'So now I sell study sheets. I passed the boards a long time ago, and now I sell them for students who are approaching the boards exam and taking tests in nursing school.'
The prices range from $2 for a single condition study sheet to $30 to $40 for her class subject packets. She also offers a comprehensive nursing school bundle with all of her notes for $115.

The TikTok creator is continuing to grow her online empire with the launch of her RNExplained Teaching Series on YouTube.
'My teaching videos are free, cut out all of the fluff, packed with memory tricks and mnemonics, and deliver a bulk of content that every nursing student needs,' she shared in her promo video.
Earlier this month, Beggs penned an essay for Insider about how she became a nurse and launched her multi-million dollar business.
She explained that she graduated with a bachelor's degree in business marketing and was working as an operations assistant at Warner Brothers Studio when she realized she wanted to be in the medical profession.

'I work 12-hour shifts at the hospital and when that'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 my social media, whether it's creating and editing content or answering comments, DMs, and emails,' wrote Beggs, who films and edits her videos herself.
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 blew up as much as it did. It can feel so shocking at times 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 like my content.
'In the end, it makes me feel really good that I'm able to have an impact on people's nursing and healthcare journeys, just like they've had on mine.'
