An ER nurse has opened up about how she made more than $2 million selling her study notes on Etsy after graduating from school. 

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. 

'I was studying for the boards exam, what we call the NCLEX for nursing. And it was right when the pandemic happened, so I had nobody to study with. I would teach myself to the wall and I would record it. And then I posted that onto social media and people loved it.'

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. 

Beggs told Webster that she 'hit $2 million' in profits last year and has turned RNExplained into a full-time job. 

She added that she is still working as an ER nurse and is also teaching pharmacology at a university. 

The TikTok creator is continuing to grow her online empire with the launch of her RNExplained Teach,ing 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.
