Yagi. Terry. Hello, everyone. So we are doing nursing school questions. Nursing school questions. And, Christina, you actually posted on Instagram asking for questions, correct?

I did, yeah. Let's go through those first.

All right, we will go through that first, but go ahead and put in the comments below. What? Your questions are also on YouTube. Be sure to hit subscribe. Hit the like button. All those things. Hit the bell. Hit the things. All the things. And also let us know where you're from. Let us do that.

That is. Hi.

J. Beasley's.

New York. Pennsylvania. Illinois.

Oh, that's a great question, Prytesh. Am I saying that right?

Cool.

Probably. I'm not. All right, how do I join the community? Okay, let's talk about that first. How do I join the nursing SOS membership community? So enrollment is opening on Sunday. So that's like, what, five days?

Yes.

Enrollment will open five days from now.

So get on the VIP list.

The VIP list?

The VIP Nursing School of Success Dot com. Join.

Yes.

We'll get you on the VIP list and be the first to know when it opens. It opens Sunday.

21St.

Yep.

Yep. That's it. Sunday.

All right.

I can't believe I'm doing math. Right? That sounds like five days to me. Okay, so someone did ask this on Instagram. How much is it? So the nursing SOS membership community is $39 per month or 3.90 per year, which is like getting two months free.

It is like getting two months free if I can do my math.

Yeah. So you guys are not going to want to miss this. So here's the deal. We only open our community, like, a handful of times a year. Just a few. Because we are 100%, all in all, focused on our students. Like, when you join the community you not only get access to our entire database library of step by step nursing lectures, you also get the study guides and the cheat sheets and you also get tutoring on top of it. And you also get our community forum. Amazing. So you can connect with other nursing students who are going through nursing school just like you are. You can hang out with the nurses on our team, get your questions answered. It is just.

You just got off of a coaching call right before this live.

Yes.

So you guys do coaching calls every Monday. Every Monday. So yeah, just. It's a really good community. So you guys out here are really good community as well, but more so in the membership, so it's really cool.

Yep. I don't get dimensional analysis, Dacia. You don't get dimensional analysis. You gotta join the nursing SOS membership community. What boot camp, Dacia? What boot camp? We don't have a boot camp, but I can teach you dimensional analysis. We have an entire dose calc course inside the nursing Assets membership community. Okay, friends.

All right, let's go through some of these questions also. Again, for those that just joined, let us know where you're from and subscribe. Hit the bells. Hit all the things. Tick tock. And Instagram and especially YouTube. All right, let's jump into some of these quests.

Oh, sorry, I can't put the link here on Instagram. Nursingschoolofsuccess.com forward/join. Yes, Brianne, it is for LPN and RN students.

Cool.

I actually just talked about that on my Instagram stories today, so.

Ooh, the lady co. Lady co. I'm not sure how you're supposed to say your name, but we will get to that. That is a really good question. So let's. Christina posted some posts in Instagram asking for questions. So we'll do those and then we'll jump back to you. So hold on just one second.

You're the best.

And also, I saw some other good questions here. We'll probably circle back around on more dose calc. And I saw some on the new nclex as well, which we were talking about last live as well. So hang on, let's go through some of the questions. What's the first question now?

So the thing was, on Instagram, I am doing this by memory because my phone is on Instagram right now, so I can't, like, look at the questions. But here's what I remember from those questions. Peds exams, how to study for pediatrics. Now, this student said that she was starting pediatrics now and has a test. And I think 10 days. You're definitely going to want to join the nursing membership community because we have an entire pediatrics course. Course in there. But with pediatrics and med, surge and psych and you guys, all of this stuff, here's how to study. Okay, you ready for this? Four things. Pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions. Those are the four things that you need to focus on. Whether you're studying peds, whether you are studying med search, whether you are studying fundamentals, whether you are studying psych, whether you are studying fluid electrolytes. Those four things. Patho signs and symptoms, nursing assessment and nursing interventions. Okay, four things. So when you were studying pediatrics, that is what you want to focus on. Then there was. Oh, yes, ob, of course. Felipe. Thank you. Ob. Same thing. All the OB disorders. It's. That's what you're going to want to focus on. I know that your instructors are going to tell you, wait, but you have to know this, and you have to know this, and it is just not true. And don't listen to them, please, because sure, you might get, like, one or two exam questions about random things and random stuff, but the bulk of your exam, the bulk of your grade is going to be those four things. Pathos, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions. That is just how it is. So focus on those four things. You will be golden, my friend. Okay, so the next question that we had submitted on Instagram is or nursing and what I thought about. Or nursing. Like, what do you think about? Or nursing? Did I. Have I done or nursing? I. My only experience with OR was in clinical and nursing school, and I did it and I decided I would never, ever, ever, ever, ever do it again. So I think that that is perhaps. I think I would do, like. I think I would enjoy prison nursing more than OB or nursing. I would actually enjoy LND nursing more than. Or nursing. Like. Or nursing. I do not do, like, all the gear that it takes. I do not. I know it's a cold room and all that, but I. You guys like having to wear the vest and the. All this stuff. That's just not my thing. And you have to stand in one place for so long. I mean, that's not my thing. So I would rather just, you know, have a floor to walk rather than be stuck in one room for eight hours or 10 hours or 12 hours. Not. Not my thing. Not gonna happen. So that's the answer to that question. I don't know. Do you remember my OR experience coming out? I was like, I Feel like I'm gonna pass out. This is not, this is not for me. Who wants to do or nursing here? Anyone?

Yeah, it's really an individual thing. So. Felipe, Felipe, Felipe. Yep. Let me know, let me know what's the best department for a new graduate nurse to start working in. So really your rotations are probably going to be the first, first taste of the different areas of nursing. And really I think it is really individualized on what are your gifts, what are your talents, what you find interesting and fascinating. Christina here does not like or. But that is not true for everyone. Some people really do gravitate towards that. So it really does depend on you. And yeah, just be open to your rotations. And even though you, you think you don't like it, just go through it, you might end up liking it a lot. So you might find different areas that you didn't even know that you like, that you really do like.

So Callie, I agree with you. Or nursing is chart the same thing over and over and over again. Yes. And I like to move. Huh? Absolutely. It's just like you have to stand in the same place for so long and wear all the gear and that's just not. That's not my thing. It's not my. No, I, Yeah, I would definitely do like pre op. Sure. Or post op. Sure. But not like in the over. I need space, friends. I need space to walk around and hang out and flutter. I flutter. That's what I do. I flutter.

J. Another dose calc question. So we will be getting to doze calc right after these questions. So be sure to hang on, do not go anywhere. Shoot up some emojis if you think that's a good idea. Let me see. Ms. Inspired also asks, backing up to your first answer, what about patient education on.

The things that you should know about patient education. Chrissy goes under nursing interventions. So nursing interventions is what do you do? So like, you know, like any anywhere in our membership community, we break up these disorders into the four categories, right. Pathos, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment and nursing interventions. So nursing assessment is all. It always includes lab values and then nursing interventions always includes patient education and medications. So we lump those together just because, you know, if you try to break them out into all these things, it feels overwhelming. But we just break it up that way to really simplify it. Since patient education is something that you as a nurse, you as a nursing student is going to do, that's how we, we glump it together. It just makes more sense that way. So yes, patient education is part of nursing interventions as far as we're concerned. So you might see it broken up, like, in different textbooks in a different way. But we like. We like simple here. We like simple.

All right, Mappy. Are you guys in Ken, Canada?

No, we are not.

No, we are south of the Canadian border. There you go. Let me see. All right, awesome. Moving on. Let's see here.

I have a few questions.

All right.

From Instagram.

Yep. Go ahead and go for that. The.

The. Actually, the biggest one, I think this was three. Three questions submitted about the same thing. So talking about RN versus BSN or not? Excuse me. ADN versus bsn. Okay, who has questions about that? Can you guys tell me what program are you in? Are you in an ADN program or.

A BSN program or an LPN program or Brianne? Yeah, let us know what program you're in or just got into. We'll be starting soon. When you're starting, when you're finishing all.

Those questions, are you in? Hey, TikTok. Where's TikTok? Tik Tok tonight. That's a funny username. 100. I'm glad.

All right, let's see. We got BSNs, BSN, ADN.

Are you in a hospital tech program? Everyone's an ADN on Instagram so far. Oh, wait. Mark for Joe. Sorry I missed you. BSN, ADN, ADN, ADN, ADAN. Hey. Oh, finishing up prereqs for ADN. ADN, Tik Tok. Thank you. Wow. I think we only have a couple of bs.

Yeah.

So this is an interesting trend I have been seeing. So between what I want to say, like, I could totally be wrong because this is way before I was ever even thinking about nursing. But like, early 2000s, 2005, ish. Really started seeing the push to BSN up until that thing that we shall not name on social media because YouTube will ban us. But that things have happened a couple of years ago.

Are we just afraid to say it?

Toeing around it up until, you know, the world lost all of the nurses, and then now I have received just so many emails from our state from other states, because I am actually licensed in a bunch of states.

Yes.

Thank you. That thing that shall not be named, it's like a Harry Potter, right? Isn't that. Is that kind of what it is?

I was actually never a big Harry Potter fan. Go ahead.

You guys are Harry Potter, but I know about it.

That shall not be named. Who? Who?

Yeah, okay.

Shall not be named. So just sounds so much more complicated than just saying voldemort.

But whatever. Christiana, we're talking about the difference between ADN and bsn, so tell us where you are at and are you an ADN program? Are you a bsn? Are you an LPN program? So before, like two years ago, right. BSN was really the thing. Mary Jane, on TikTok, you're saying most hospitals in my area require BSN after three years of a higher date. Now, three years is a long time. So just that tells me right now we're kind of moving back to the whole ADN thing. It's interesting. I mean, of course, who knows what's going to happen? But my general kind of feeling out there in the world and from talking to people and getting all the emails from the states that I have been getting, like, from the actual boards of nursing are saying, like, hey, we need nurses, Please come help us. You guys, I get emails all the time saying, you know, we need you. Come, please work for us. So I really, I have seen emails about hospitals initiating now tech program or not tech programs, but like hospital certifications for nurses. So we are kind of, we are seeing more of a trend back to, oh, no, we need nurses now. Let's just get them anymore.

Yeah, because when you were finishing up, when you were there, there was really that push for bsn. There was a lot of bridge programs, right, going on. Yeah, lots, lots of those going on. But, yeah, you're right, has settled down and yeah, they're like, we just need people.

We need people, warm bodies. We need nurses.

I start ADN next Monday. Awesome.

Hey, you guys in an ADN program, which is almost everyone, Are you guys planning on doing a bridge from ADN to bsn? Let me know. TikTok, where are you at? Are you planning on bridging from ADN to bsn? Kaylee? Yes, I did an ADM program. So, you guys, my education journey is a little funny. So I have multiple degrees. I actually had a bachelor's before I was a nurse. I was actually going to be a psychologist. I was never going to do nursing until God had other plans for me. And I went to nursing school, but I had a bachelor's before that. So when we got married and I decided to go to nursing school, we decided that I would just do the ADN program. Program because I already had a bachelor's. And this is kind of a funny place because when you have a bachelor's in something else, you can do an ADN program and then skip the BSN and go right to a dnp. So it's Kind of interesting. I have always. So I've kept that in the back of my mind. I will. So I do. I have a bachelor's and then I have an edn, and then perhaps eventually I will go back for my dnp. So that is kind of, you know, that is kind of how we, you know, how we had structured it. Yes.

Yeah, Felipe, that's the plan. And. Yeah. Ms. Inspired. Yes. Planning on bridging ADN to BSN. Cali. That's interesting. Finished my ADN and have worked in the ER for 14 years now.

Nice.

And have. Now. Now I have to do the bsn. It's been so long. Yeah.

Yeah, it is. And that's really.

So when there was a special.

Required to. Then, Kelly, you're required to do. I'm just curious. Or are you just going. I mean, I guess I'm assuming that you're required to if you're doing it, but maybe you're just like, gung ho and that's cool too. Start an MN program. Perfect. Great. Let's see. Do you see next week. Congratulations. Exciting. So many of you guys are starting nursing school.

Yeah, it's that time of year.

Lil. Let me get through ADN first, then we'll see. Yeah, that's funny. Oh, does it help in nursing school being a DNA? That's a great question. Yes and no is always my answer. So I think that when you. I don't. Callie, can you chime in on this? Because you're. Or you're in the er. So when you were in nursing school and all you nurses who are watching right now, when you were in nursing school and then as a nurse, what do you guys think? Did it help you to be a CNA first, or did it actually hurt you in nursing school? I have seen it go both ways. Like, for me personally, I was a cna. I worked before I went to nursing school. It was a requirement for my school, actually. You had to have a certain amount of hours. And I think, as for my personal opinion, it helped me be able to understand medical terminology better, to be able to understand what the nurses and the doctors and everyone else in the healthcare team was saying about patients, because I was already kind of in that world. And then also interacting with patients in a room. Right. In a hospital setting, in a. In a clinical setting.

Your bedside manners. Refinement.

Exactly. That does help. You know, you don't just go to nursing school and now you all. All of a sudden, you have to ask somebody to, like, listen to all the places on the body you Know you need practice with that to be comfortable talking to people in a hospital setting or in a clinical setting. Now, I always tell students who come into nursing school. You guys, listen up. If you have a CNA degree. Degree, certification. If you are a CNA, if you are a tech, if you are a EMT, all you EMTs out there raise your hand. Tell me, tell me if you are an emt, because I see this all the time with you guys. You tend to bring your experience in to your nursing school exam and you cannot do that, okay? If you are a mom, I know we've got a lot of mamas out here, a lot of mamas. You cannot bring your experience with your own children into your nursing school exam. And here's what I mean by that. When you get to your exams, your exams are going to test you on the textbook answers, okay? You need to know what is textbook. What is the textbook nursing answer? Real world is not the nclex. Real world is not nursing school, okay? Just. Just let's all be okay with that, okay? Nursing school is not real world. When you go take that exam, it is not what you are going to see in a hospital, okay? It is not what you are going to see in the real world. You have to know what the textbook answer is. And when you bring in your past experience, like say, cali, right? Bring it in your past experience working as a cna, or, you know, if you are an emt, working as an EMT doing all this stuff or being a patient, do not bring in your past experience into your exam and answer test questions based on your experience, because it might not be the textbook correct answer. Okay? Does that make sense? I see this all the time with moms. So, moms, if you say like, oh, yeah, my child walked at six months of age, not the textbook correct answer, okay, so you have to know what is. What is textbook.

Yeah, so I hear. I see a lot of people saying that the previous experiences did help. Again, relating to the patient, knowing medical terminology, knowing the basics, knowing how to work, go, go, go in a hospital and work your way around and things like that. And all that is true. So that base understanding, definitely, I agree, does help. But like Christina said, just make sure that you don't lean too heavily on real life experience when they want textbook answers.

Textbook correct answers. So CB Wonder on Instagram, it helped me visualize the. Visualize real life situations. I also knew more medical terminology than anyone. Yes. I mean, there's so many pros to having a CNA sort of working as A CNA or working as a tech, something standing for five years, starting nursing program this fall. Congratulation. Yes. So it is really important, you guys, you know, if you're a nursing SOS member, you know this. Inside the nursing SOS membership community, we have a very specific way that we teach. We teach you nursing content step by step. We break it down. Very simple for you. So if you are a cna, if you are a tech, if you are an emt, if you have no experience at all and have no idea what you're doing, don't worry, we've got you, okay? We walk you through everything you need to know to pass your exams. This is what we do. So do not worry.

That's one of the kind of key terms that have been thrown around lately that we've seen anyway is that idea of concept based learning. Let us know if you've heard of that. We've had questions. Oh, do you, do you do concept based learning? Does the membership help with concept based learning? And that's how we teach even before we knew it was called that. Because really it is, it is all about critical thinking and learning the concepts so that you can take those textbook answers and then apply it to real life.

Yes, critical thinking. You are going to be tested on your nursing school exams all of the time on critical thinking. You are not tested in nursing school on how well you memorize stuff, right? No, not how it works. You are going to be tested on. When you first hit that nursing school exam, you were going to be tested on critical thinking and how well you can apply what you know. Okay? So here's how to do that, all right? You have to make sure that you can connect the dots between everything that you're learning. And just like we talked about before, four categories. Pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment and nursing interventions. My friends, that is where it is at. Okay? Make sure that you know those four categories. Patho, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, nursing interventions, and it all goes back to the patho. Once you understand the pathophysiology of whatever you are learning, you can more critically think through the other three things. So connect the signs and symptoms back to the patho. Connect the nursing assessment and the nursing interventions back to the path physiology. That is critical thinking. You have to be able to connect the dots between everything that you were learning. Connecting disorders together. How does heart failure integrate with hypertension or diabetes? How do these things work together? That's really, really important.

So Judy actually had a question here on YouTube. Judy, shoot up an emoji. Answering, answering your question here. What is your suggestion on how to stay study for complex needs, critical care? I'm just bringing this up because does the four, the big four things that we talk about, talking about, studying, patho, et cetera, does that apply to complex needs and critical care?

100%, Judy. It does. And actually inside the community we have an entire critical care course for you. So we walk through those four categories through every. For everything that you have to know for critical care. You know, critical care being, you know, blood transfusions and chest tubes and ventilators and all of those things, you have to know know sepsis, you have to know what the specifics are for critical care nursing and certainly critical critically think about it. I mean that's what it all is in its entirety of critical care is critical thinking.

Yeah. So just go through those big four and that'll. That'll help for sure.

Yes.

All right, Felipe, we are going to be talking about the new NCLEX to NGN the ng. We'll probably circle back around on that after we talk about dose calcium. We should actually finish the questions. Were there any other questions?

No, that was it.

No, that was it. All right, so like I said, Christina did ask on Instagram. So if you guys are not following her on Instagram.

Stories, stories.

Follow her stories. She was asking questions to answer here on this live. And so we went through all of those ones. That's what we just went over. So be sure to follow her nursing SOS also, you can follow on TikTok too for more content and more fun, fun things. Nursing SOS official.

Yes, on TikTok, because nursing SOS was already taken on TikTok, which is kind of weird.

All right, all right, so let's go back. We did have a couple questions here about dosage calculations, dose calc, dimensional analysis, shoot up emojis, hit the like button. If you are going to be taking your dose exams because semester is starting, etc. Etc. Etc. Let us know what your questions are about dosage calculations. We will jam on that. So Jay, how do you do a dimensional analysis where when there is no matching measurements. I don't mean when you need to change McD, McG to MG, etc.

I'm going to need more clarification on that. I saw that come through earlier and I don't know. Do you understand what that means?

Not entirely. So Jay, you're still here. Go ahead and add more detail to your question. We are talking about that now. Let me see here.

Flashcards Inside our dose calc box.

By the way, Dacia, I just want some advice. I failed dose calculation three times and now I'm basically being kicked out. I don't know if it's worth it to start over. Any input? Yes. So definitely input number one. Do dimensional analysis.

Yes, you have to learn how to do dimensional analysis. So we have an entire course on this inside the nursing houseless membership community. These are actually in our dose calc box. So we have the flashcards, we have the step by step guide for how to do it, we have a clinical guide and we've got the workbooks inside our dose calc box. So these walk you through practice problems and then so here's you guys, here's what dimensional analysis looks like. If anyone is confused, it has. It's like railroad tracks. They call them railroad tracks. But you start with what you need over here and then what you have and then your conversions and then you can solve the problem. It's literally plug and play. There are no formulas or anything. All you have to do is make sure that you line up your units the right way. That's it. And then you multiply and then you divide and that is it is literally the simplest way to get dose calc correct is this Dose calc does not need to be complicated, does not need to be hard. When you line it up this way, you will get the questions right every single time. So we have an entire course on it inside the nursing Essence membership community. But the membership community is closed until Sunday. So I of course realize that that's not going to help you right now. So go to our YouTube channel and type in dose calc. Okay, go to YouTube, type in dose calc, our nursing SOS, dose calc, whatever. Find our videos on dose calc on YouTube. We have a very defined process for teaching it. Check out the videos on it on YouTube and that will help until you're able to join the membership community. And then inside the membership community we have the entire step by step process. We've got practice problems for you. You get access to our tutors to help you with it. So we are absolutely here for you. We do not leave you hanging.

So someone just asked, do you get the flashcards when you join the community? So what, what Christina is showing here, the different workbooks and the flashcards, etc, etc. That's part of our dose calc box, which is a physical product. So the physical products do not come with the membership. In the membership there are courses and step by step videos on how to do do scalp and also practice questions within the community. But if you need more practice and you like more physical products, we did create our dose calc box, so you can check that out at our shop. But. But members get 20% off all our products.

So if you're a nursing member. So we also have our pharmacology box with our pharmacology flashcards. So you guys have probably seen me post some of these on Instagram, oops and TikTok, and I'm dropping them as I talk. They're really, really great. So make sure that you snag that farm box or the dove scout box if you need help with those.

So let's see. Jay, did you answer yet? Not yet. Jay, you were talking about dimensional analysis. What if there is no matching measurements? If there are no. Yeah, know exactly what you're talking about.

But you can't. You can't. So the question has to give you. The question has to give you what you need to end up with the units. The question has to give you the order, and then you yourself have to figure out what conversions will get you from A to B. Yeah, that's it. So what conversion factors do you need to know in order to get from point A to point B? Right.

So option number one in your questions is either it was genuinely missing something and it was a typo or something, which is possible.

I have found, though, that when I think I am right and that my instructors made a mistake every single time, I don't think I've ever had it happen where they were incorrect. So just know that if you get to a nursing school exam, especially dose calc, they have given you, like the question works. You just have to figure out how to get it to work.

Yeah. So the second part is there's a conversion that maybe you forgot about that converts kilograms to pounds or something like that that you just.

You gotta remember.

So, yeah, you can convert those. So that's one of them.

Here's a big one that no nursing student usually knows, but you will be tested on is grains. Who knows what a grain is?

The only grain I know is rice grains.

So there is a conversion you have to know. Okay. One grain, 65 milligrams. All right. Remember that for your exam and you're welcome because it will show up. Don't get it wrong. Okay. One grain is 65 milligrams. Hey, speaking of rice, Michelle.

Thank you.

Michelle, did you make pancit? Have you made pancit yet? No, I. I am. No, I think I usually leave that to Your mom? Yeah, because she. She doesn't. I try. I mean, I try to make stir fry and stuff, but it just is not quite the same as authentic. Authentic Made by a Filipina.

Yeah, yeah, I can't do it either, so that's fine.

Yeah.

The Ladyko. You guys mentioned study guides. Does the membership include PDFs? Yes, the membership does include PDFs. So each disorder, each course has a bunch of extended study guides that you can download, take it with you, print them out, do whatever with them. Yes, so they do have that. And while we're on the topic, you.

Had a question up earlier, so I'm gonna go ahead and scroll. I do not know, I think I have allerg. Do you guys see like my eyes twitching and watering?

Where's your.

Oh, you might have to answer all these questions.

I'm not sure. Well, we'll see. Lady Co. Lady Co. Or Lady Co. I'm not sure how you want to say that, but there you go. Starting next week. How do you handle all the information? So how do you handle all this information? I'm afraid to run out of time with four classes and four kids.

You need. The thing with children in nursing school is that you. You really do need to delegate more to other people. Children are obviously, you know, they need.

Oh, okay, thanks.

Yeah, they need 24. 7 supervision. Right. And you need to study nursing. So you do need to find someone. I mean, that's just. That's just where, where, how, how it is. You know, you're gonna need help with your children and, and that's okay, you know, so family, friends, care.com, you know, definitely get some help. Oh, when? Sorry, that was really dramatic. But here's a great tip for you. In the university that I attended, there was actually a part of the university was like child development degree. So they actually had daycare for the students.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah.

Yes, yes. We met in college. He knows too. So, yeah, that could be an option. I think that's a really great one too. Hi, Tara, by the way, on TikTok.

Yeah, so actually we just did a couple of YouTube videos. The one that posted today is about nursing school. School lies. Yeah, that's a good one.

Don't believe the lies.

And I think last week also talked a little bit about time and things like that. So definitely check that out. But yeah, I think what we like to always discuss as well is the idea of work life balance and how that's kind of a myth in this.

Culture that we live in is wrong so so many things.

You are embarking on a nursing school journey. So right now you are going to be imbalanced at this point going towards nursing school. But that's not to say that that's going to be how it is all the time. So what did I see? I saw Adam Grant post something that we all want to stand still and do bout and do perfect balance, but really what it is is purposeful imbalance, I think, or something like that. Shifting like that. And he had a nice little image that goes with that is like crossing a tight tightrope and like walking across a tightrope. If you just stand still, it's a lot harder to balance on a tightrope. But if you're moving forward, you're constantly moving back and forth to kind of offset your thing. So and you, you can make it across a lot easier that way. So with slack lining, etc. If anyone does that. So really it's not about perfect balance because if you just try and stand still and be perfectly balance, you'll fall. So just make sure that you imbalance in the proper way. So in this part of your journey, you're in nursing school and it takes a lot of time. So know that it's not 100% all the time. Just kind of do imbalances one way or the other. What the membership community and what we try and do is get you as efficient as possible. So you're not wasting time. But it will still take a lot of time, 100%. So hopefully that helps.

Tara, heading into my last semester of nursing school. Thank you guys for getting me here. You're the best. Hey, Instagram, tick tock. YouTube like this video. YouTube subscribe. Like follow us. What, what are the words? Follow us on Instagram and tick tock. I are your eyes. Are your eyes like seriously? Okay, crying on video.

Let's finish up with this then. User on TikTok.

It might be the sunscreen user.

704. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah. So I'm guessing it's the temporary user or you don't actually have a username or something. I don't know. TikTok. I don't do the tiktoks. But asking for tips for med surge. Med surge. Pete, so we did talk about this a little earlier.

I'm just gonna be like this.

Why don't you go ahead and answer that again. How do we study med surgical? How do we study peds? How do we study critical care?

All those pathos, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment and nursing Interventions. So make sure that you understand those four main categories, because that is what you're going to be tested on. That's it. You guys try to make it so complicated. Don't make it so complicated.

Actually, Instagram. You're still here. I know you are. They asked about easy way of remembering fluid and electrolytes and abg.

It's the same thing.

Guess what? Guess what?

Assessment.

That is why I brought it up.

You have same thing all together friends. Okay? But we do have a absolutely over the moon, fantastic fluid and electrolyte course inside the Nursing Essence membership community. So you guys, enrollment opens on Sunday. Don't miss it, because enrollment does not open very often. Only a few times a year. So you have to make sure that you get in when enrollment is open. Okay? And it's only going to be open for, what, five days? It's only. It's only a few days. It's only open for a few days. So it will open on Sunday. It will close on Friday. So that would be what, six days?

Something like that. And not even like the end of day Friday.

It's like the afternoon of Friday. Make sure that you enroll okay on Sunday so you don't miss it accidentally, because it happens every single time. Sunday, students email us and they say, oh, no, I missed it. Can I get in? And we have to say sorry because it's closed. So make sure that you join the Nursing Essence membership community when it opens. Okay? Awesome. I am so happy, Mandy, that our videos have helped you. Fantastic. Tramika, how much is enrollment? And is $39 per month or 390 per year? Which gives you two months are like two free months. So it's like getting 12 months for the price of 10, which is fantastic. Yeah. All right. My eyes are like, this is so weird. I think it's a sunscreen.

So here's the deal. Being outside, go ahead and shoot up some likes. Shoot us some emojis. If you guys like our. Our AMA structure.

If you think we're cute together.

9:30 Eastern.

All right, so I'm going to be scheduling another one on YouTube, and you guys can always go there and ask your questions ahead of time even, and then we'll answer them there. He'll probably post up another Instagram story asking for More questions. So go ahead and follow if you have not followed yet. Yeah.
