NURSING SCHOOL - ASK ME ANYTHING

1, 2, 3. Hello, guys.

Good morning.

Happy Monday. It's Monday today, right?

Monday.

All right, sounds good.

Welcome to our ama. Guess what, friends? We're on Facebook, too.

All right, so this is a fancy new experiment. Hello, everyone on Facebook.

Hello, Facebook.

Good Morning, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube. Awesome.

Yeah, we really got this going on. Oh, good.

Sounds good.

Hey, Christina, Silence your cell phones.

All right, happy Monday, guys.

Happy Monday, everybody.

Welcome to the nursing school show. Ask Christina anything.

You can ask him questions.

Ask us anything. Ask me anything.

Oh, should you get the door. Might not know the answer. I will get the door.

All right, sounds good. Awesome. Well, this is a fancy new experiment. Welcome, Facebook. This is where Christina answers questions. I chime in at times. We will see how that goes.

Yeah.

Go ahead, post your comments in.

All the places around.

Post your comments up. We'll see how this goes.

I don't know how you feel about this, but this is a little much because we've got Facebook, we've got Instagram, we've got YouTube.

Looks good. Looks good.

Hello, friend. All right, send in your questions.

Go ahead and send in your questions. We do have a couple questions that people posted before. One of our things that we do with our private members of the membership community is that we allow them to go ahead and submit questions beforehand on a. On a separate form or whatnot, and we want to answer those first. So we do have a couple of those correct?

Yes.

And then in addition to that, go ahead and post up your questions, and we'll try and get to as many as we can. That will help as many people as possible.

That's what we do. That's how we do it here.

All right.

Good morning, J. Connect.

What?

Good morning. I can never see these Instagram handles. I just kind of mumble.

YouTube. Can you guys hear us? I like to.

Can you hear us, YouTube?

I haven't seen any comments yet, so.

Is it broken? Yes, because that's totally.

That is. That is very possible that it could.

Be broken, you know, so we break things around here.

Let us know if you guys can hear us.

I break things.

How your guys's weekend was.

Hi, Nancy.

Any highlights of the weekend? Any highlights of this coming week? I know that you've gotten a lot of emails because a lot of people are starting today.

Yes. Finals. I said finals.

Yeah, it's not finals. It's the start. First day, first day. Second day. Something. First week. Second week, first week. Let us know. That's exciting.

Let's do it, friends.

Yes.

Let's do nursing school this term. It's gonna be awesome.

It is.

Don't freak out. Online classes are fine. We're gonna do it. We're gonna make it happen.

Awesome.

Hey, Facebook, how do you look at comments? Hey, Facebook, can you please comment? Because here's the thing with Facebook, okay? Me and Facebook were not best friends. I try to go live inside our membership community Facebook page and I can rarely ever see the comments, which is the biggest bummer. So we do something different now. So if you are on Facebook, can you please comment so we can maybe see that you are commenting Instagram, I'm getting your comments. So you know. All right, let's dive in.

All right. So from members, did you have a specific one you want to go with?

The first thing I want to do is cystic fibrosis. We had a member ask about overview of cystic fibrosis, what's going on, nursing management, signs and symptoms, those things. So for our nursing members, we allow you guys to submit questions beforehand before these ama. So it's kind of like you get three tutoring calls a week. Kind of cool. So cystic fibrosis. Let's do it. So cystic fibrosis is primarily a genetic disorder. So genetic, you know, mom, dad, one or the other have it and. Or is it like a carrier for it, Then the baby can end up with it. So cystic fibrosis is a disorder of the exocrine, exocrine glands in the body. A lot of mucus production, a lot of the secretions are very thick. It's called like viscous. Like viscous. So you might hear that word viscous that means thick. So secretions are very thick. So primarily it impacts the respiratory tract, as you can imagine, and the GI tract and the skin. So let's walk through those three things. So the respiratory tract is really the, one of the biggest and really where the life threatening issues come in, which you could probably imagine. So what kind of happens is that the secretions rate? We're constantly like in our bodies, we're constantly producing like mucus and secretions to clear things out. Typically, secretions help us, you know, clear through the digestive system, clear through the lungs, you know, get everything out of the body that's not supposed to be there. However, when those secretions are thicker, they can't really move.

Right.

Like you can't. I don't know. What's an example? I'm thinking like our, our three year old last week just played with. What was it? It's, it's cornstarch and water.

Okay. Yeah.

Have you guys played with that. It's like.

And cocoa powder.

And cocoa powder to make it smell good. But it's. It's like the craziest, like, feeling. I don't know. Anyway, so this is.

That's not quite the same.

That's not quite the same.

That's what you call a non Newtonian material. So that's fun.

No, I don't know. Yeah, but is that the word of the day?

Yeah. What I'd like to think of is like oil in your car, right? So when it's cooler or whatnot, it's. It's more liquidy, it's more like water, but it gets thicker as it gets. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know much about cars.

But there you go, oil. There's your story time with Matthew. Time. Hashtag story time with Matthew. Oh, man. Yeah, so it just gets thicker and then so in the lungs, it's tougher to clear.

Right.

So when, when like that, like anything that's like really thick, it's harder to, to get that out. So the issue with the lungs, obviously, you know, as you guys can imagine, it's going to cause a lot of decreased oxygenation, you know, cyanosis, all those things, labored breathing, hypoxia, all that stuff. Also on top of it, though, a big, big thing is infections, right? So like respiratory infections are a big problem because when you can't clear out mucus. Mucus and really like the gunk in your lungs, right. It's a very, very good breeding ground for bacteria, virus infections. So that's a big danger there. So that is kind of the respiratory tract and then the GI tract with those increased viscous. One of these days I'm going to mess up that word. Viscous secretions. It just can't. It cannot. Like you need your secretion typically to move things throughout your GI tract. If it's too thick, it will stall out, it will cause a blockage. And so with primarily the pancreatic enzymes, they're just blocked. And so unfortunately, people, children with cystic fibrosis have a really hard time digesting food because the enzymes just cannot get there. They're just blocked from getting to where they need to go, which is, you know, obviously you can't digest your food if the enzymes aren't there to help you do it. So that's with that. And then on top of that. So that's. So three things. Respiratory tract, GI tract, and then the skin. Now the skin. This is super fascinating. When you are testing for cystic fibrosis. T. Typically, we test the skin for salty sweat. And that's because the. Those glands, typically we reabsorb sodium and chloride back into our skin, but they cannot do that. The gene is mal. So we're malfunction. Malfunctional. That's not right. Malfunctioning. Malfunctioning. Like it's a. It's a mal. Malform. Malformation. That's Monday. It's Monday. Happy Monday.

I don't know. English with the genes.

Something's wrong with the gene.

It's not working right. It's sick.

There you go. And so they can't reabsorb that back in the body. And so it just stays on the skin. And so you'll hear like, cystic fibrosis. Children with cystic fibrosis, I heard this in nursing school that oftentimes they're diagnosed because their mom will, like, kiss their forehead or kiss their head or kiss their cheek or whatever, and it'll be super salty. And so that's how you kind of know that's really the. That's the primary test for. Is the salt. The salt. Skin, skin test. Salt, sodium skin test, Sodium chloride skin test. It's also in the newborn screening.

So it's like, even more salty than normal.

Because, like, sweat, way more salty. Way, like, crystallized on the skin. Super, super salty. So, yeah, there's that. And then as far as nursing management things, too, making sure that they can digest their food is a huge thing. You know, we don't want them to become malnourished. So enzymes, pancreatic. Pancreatic enzymes. And then making sure that, like, they're getting their iron, they're getting their good fats because they cannot digest fat. So it just, like, goes out of the body. Oily stools is a big sign and symptom because they're not digesting their fats. It's just all going through the body. So we want to make sure, like, help them as much as possible to digest their food because they just can't do it themselves. The enzymes. They're making the enzymes, but they just cannot get to where they need to go because of all the secretions, all the mucus is all blocking it. So that's how that works. So there's that they can cause, like, neonates, like babies who are just born. What's it called? A meconium block. So the meconium is, like the baby's first bowel movement.

Right?

It's like the fur, you know, that. That really the Meconium is like that thick, tarry stuff.

That's the fun stuff.

That's the fun stuff, like the first, like day or so with a baby and it can cause that meconium to not be able to come out. And so that would be like a block. Obviously, we don't want that. We want the baby to be able to pass, you know, stool and other things. So, you know, making sure that they are not malnourished, making sure that they have their digestive enzymes, high intake of nutrients, exercise, clearing the lungs as much as possible. We don't want them to get respiratory infection, obviously, like we said, all that thick, thick mucus in the lungs, all of that. So that is your high level overview of cystic fibrosis. And that. That is definitely a really good one that we could do a YouTube video on. I think that would be really good. If you guys would like a YouTube video on Cystic fibrosis, let me know. That was your overview of it.

Awesome.

Very cool. I hope that was helpful. Did you learn something?

I did, yeah.

I did, yeah. Yeah. It's a super unfortunate genetic disorder, but, you know, it's.

Is there a cure or is it just management at that point in time?

You know what? I have heard rumors, but I don't know entirely. Um, if there is a cure, if you guys know, let me know. I'm not sure. I just know, like, those treatments for it. Um, but I have heard in some of the research that I was doing, like, there's like a new something or other that can help that gene to do its job. Like the gene that is broken to help do its job. So I don't know. Sounds fun, though.

Very cool.

Yeah.

All right, next.

Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, no, that other question. The next question from our membership.

Yeah, next up from members, let's do it. What's a good way to remember measurement conversions?

And this is so funny because I don't even know because I did not do that in nursing school. But I have had many, many students tell me that there is a mnemonic for it. So I'm hoping that someone out there in Facebook land, Instagram, YouTube land. Do you know what the mnemonic is for? What is it?

Measurement conversions.

I don't know. Is it something about monkeys? I feel like it's something about monkeys.

I always just.

Do you know what I'm talking about? Instagram, YouTube, Facebook. Do you know what I'm talking about? I bet you do. So it's like that conversion, like going from, like, you know, kilograms to Grams to migrates to, you know, whatever, whatever. All throughout the whole. Everything. What is it? Someone tell me.

Okay, so. So that's what that is. That's what they're looking for. Conversions.

Yeah. Because we people post about it inside our private Facebook group for our members quite often and I think. Is it something about monkeys? I feel like it's something about monkeys. I don't know because there's a lot of M's there.

You know, there is for the milli, milli, milli, milli. Millies for the metric system.

Monkey, Monkey, Monkey, Monkey.

Monkeys.

Monkeys. So that's what I'm thinking. It's the metric system mnemonic. Anyway, someone tell me what it is. Someone Google it. And.

Related to that though, since it is everyone or a lot of people starting out and very important. We talk about. We talked about this last week. We talked about this constantly. We constantly get questions on it. If we haven't had a question yet, we probably will by the time this live is over. So might as well just address it now because it is in relationship to measurement conversions. But dose calc. How do you study for dose calc?

How do you study for dose calc? Friends, friends, let's have a moment here. So when you are just starting nursing school, you will have a dose calc exam within the first two weeks of the term. So dose calc is super important, obviously, because we want to make sure that we are calculating medication dosages properly for our patients. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be the patient that like goes and gets healthcare and their nurse doesn't know how to calculate your medications. That does not sound fun.

Hold on. Someone in Instagram just answered. King Henry died unusually, drinking chocolate milk.

That's. That's one of the ones I've heard. I think there is another one about monkeys, but that is one. I.

King Henry could be a monkey.

We can.

King Henry died unusually during drinking chocolate milk.

Okay. It's the metric system. That's what it is. It's the metric system mnemonic. So if you're like, what in the world did they just say? That's what we're saying. So go Google it. Metric system mnemonic. And it will all make sense. I think the first time we had someone posted in the membership community, I.

Was like, yeah, because they posted it with like no context whatsoever. They just posted up that King Henry died. And I don't. I know that King Henry is a historic figure. So I'm not sure why they were.

These Belong in our membership Facebook. Should I delete this post?

Yes, it was. It was interesting. But yes, we did learn about it.

Yeah, that was because.

Yeah, you never use that.

No, I never use that.

I am not in nursing school. I am not a nurse. But I did do math.

Because we do math and.

Yes. So but. But with metric system I just kind of just wrote and memorized that.

Yeah, that was what I did too. I just wrote rope memorization because sometimes.

I don't know it. It each their own mnemonics haven't. Don't really help me out. So if it helps you out, that's great. That is one. King Henry died unusually drinking chocolate milk. What are you gonna do if not? Whatever. Whatever works for you. That would be great.

Yeah. If you can come up with another one. Yes, I'd be all ears because I don't think I would actually use that on like a day to day. That wouldn't be like.

That would probably actually help you remember better is if you just come up with your own. And we've talked about this before, just memorization, how to do memorization, mind palaces and really the most outlandish stuff that you can think of. It helps you the most. So you think of your own mnemonic system and as long as you know what it is and can recall it.

Then that's all that matters.

So make up your own if you can't find one.

Yep. That's so funny. I love it. Friends.

Yeah. All right.

So that is that mnemonic. If you're like what in the world are they talking about? Chocolate milk. Look it up. It's the metric system mnemonic. Not sure who came up with it, but it doesn't help me just memorize the conversions and lots of practice questions. Amen to that, my friends. That's what I did too. So yeah, with dimensional analysis and dose calc. Always use dimensional analysis. Yes. I'm not going to get on my soapbox about it right now because I already did that last Wednesday.

Check out that live.

Check out that live.

Listen to Christina so box.

I have lots of them. Always use dimensional analysis. When you use dimensional analysis you will use those dosage calculation conversions and really that's all I did was just memorize Lena's like. It's so weird. Yeah, I know. Mnemonics are so weird. So you know, just make sure that you know what goes on the top and what goes on the bottom of your little railroad tracks and your dimensional analysis. You'll be good to go. See how that works.

Awesome. Well, for those just joining, let's do it. This is the nursing school show with Christina. That is. No.

And Matthew.

I am Matthew.

Well, I was gonna say your name. I was just a little late.

All right, ask me anything. Ask Christina anything about nursing. So go ahead and write them in the comments. Facebook, first time join or first time. We're going live with you guys.

So welcome, welcome.

Thanks for joining. We're having technical issues with comments. We're not seeing comments. I don't think we've ever seen comments through Facebook.

Facebook is. It does not like me. I'm really sorry about that because that's actually. I don't know why.

I don't know why Facebook. I don't know.

But I can never see comments on Facebook and so sorry about that, my friends.

Thanks for joining.

Thanks for joining though, Facebook. I just cannot see your comments. I cannot, I cannot.

All right.

Cannot do it.

Question from YouTube. Actually, a couple questions regarding ATI proctored exams. Good morning. How do you study for ATI proctor exams? And someone else actually asked that too. How do you study for API proctor exam? And in addition to that, how do you conquer SATA questions?

Yeah, questions. Where's Barbara this morning on YouTube. Where's my Barbara? Barbara, is my SATA question rock star?

Yes.

So ATI proctored exams. Let's talk about it. So ATI exams are scary. Yeah. But here's the thing. They are good and bad in a couple different ways. The bad. I'll tell you the bad first. The bad is that they can throw anything at you. Anything. It does not have to be things that you have studied. Does not have to be anything about anything. They can throw anything at you. That's the bad. The good thing is that it mimics the nclex. So if you did well on your ATA proctored exam, your HUSI exam, you know how to answer those questions, even if you're not doing very well on them. But you get better and better and better every time. That's the key. You will do fine on the nclex. So if you are doing well on your ATI exams, your HUSI exams, you will do well on the nclex because they mimic so well they can throw anything at you. You never know what to expect. It's a test bank. So the thing with test banks is that your instructors might not know what's coming, what's in there, what's going to be on the exam. It's just. It's like a wild card. It's like one big wild card of an exam, but so is the nclex. So they can literally throw anything at you and you just gotta be prepared, think on your feet. So that's the good and the bad. How to study for it is just study like we teach everything else. So whatever your professors are talking about in class, whether it's online or actually in class, physically study that. Read the sections of the book that your professors talk about in class. You know, go through if you have all access to the online ATI modules. Online HESI modules. If you're a HESI program, do those online modules. Online slides. Do the practice questions. It is not busy work. I hear this all the time from nursing students. I didn't do the practice questions because I thought it was busy work, friend. That's a huge mistake. Do the practice questions and read the rationales. Do not skip those rationales because they are life for you in nursing school. You have to know why you're getting things wrong, why you're getting things right. You have to know why you are getting questions wrong and why you are getting questions right.

Please.

So please do not skip those rationales. It's going to give you a lot of great feedback.

Awesome.

There was the second part to that question.

Yes. How do you conquer SATA questions?

SATA questions. Let's talk about it. So static questions are those select all that apply questions. Aren't those just the dream? So this is where you have your main question, you have answers, and you have to literally select all that apply. There is no partial credit, so you have to get them. It's all or nothing. You have to get all right. Or all rough. All right, all right, all right. So got to get them. All right. There is no partial credit. So here's what you're going to do. Read the question. Read the question. And then go down to the first answer and ask yourself, is that true or false as it relates to the question. And select it appropriately. And then read the question again. Go down to the second answer. Do the same thing. Is it true or false? As it relates to the question. See what I'm saying? Then again and again. There's usually five of them. So select all that apply. Take every single answer on its own merit. Take every single answer individually. Do not combine them together. Take them separately. Individually. Treat them individually. It does not matter if you know this answer says this, but this answer says this. If they are both correct, they're both correct. They could say the exact same thing. If they're both correct, they're both correct. Select them both. Good. We all Cool on that. We all cool. Awesome, man. Facebook, what a bummer that I cannot see comments.

Any from Instagram that you'd like to.

Bummer. Let's see. I just joined. Sorry. Hello. If you're just joining, my name is Christina and I am here to answer all of your questions.

Welcome.

For nursing school. I just joined. Sorry if it's already asked, but what advice do you have for first semester students with it all being online? Don't freak out. That's my advice for that. We have a whole YouTube video, actually to two YouTube videos on online classes. How to create a study schedule for online classes and just how to do online classes. And those are very, very good resources for you. So go to YouTube, type in nursing SOS online classes. It'll be there for you. Maybe Matthew can put it in the chat on YouTube.

I don't know if I have it.

Maybe we don't have it, but it's there. Online classes. There you go. Yep. So Matthew's got that on YouTube. So if you are in the YouTube chat, check out that link now. Online classes, really? I think honestly at this point, I mean of course there's study tips for it. Of course there's like strategies that you can, you can do, which I talk about in that video. But at this point it's truly a mindset thing. It really is. I mean constantly we, we've gotten questions from students about this and not just questions, but students saying nursing school's now online. I'm freaking out. Don't freak out. It's going to be fine. Like, I know it's, I know it's a change and we don't like change, but you can handle change. Tell yourself you're capable of handling change. I know you can do it.

I like that. Yeah. And I mean it may be new now, but I mean other schools have been doing online stuff anyway and people are getting used to it. So it's not. It may be new to us, maybe new to you, maybe new to you. But yeah, I think just don't psych yourself out and see what's the best way of just learning and kind of adjust your mindset. We talk a lot about mindset and what's the more positive way of viewing things. I think that would be great. There is a follow up question from YouTube that is a little more practical. I start next week. This is my second career for me and I'm an older student. Is it better that I do traditional note taking or use an iPad?

Traditional note taking? Traditional note taking every single time. I know that people. I know you like. I know we like our laptops. I know we like our eye things. I'm not an I person. I don't have anything. Apple.

No, we do not. We are Android people.

Android people totally don't use a laptop or technology to take notes, friends, please do not. So here's the thing. When you are physically writing your notes out, if you are a kinesthetic learner, if you are a visual learner, that's going to help you so, so much because you are physically writing it out, which is that kinesthetic, you know, thinking and doing, you know, writing it out. Even if you're not actually physically doing a skill, you are physically writing it out. That's very, very helpful. And then visually, you can see the words on the page. It just really helps you remember it. Then if you are an auditory learner, you can say it back to yourself or you can teach it to somebody else hearing it. Whether or not you are hearing it from someone else or hearing it as you talking it or talking it, talking it out, saying it, both of those things are going to help. So I really recommend that you physically write your notes out always. Like, I don't think there's any other way to do it.

Yeah, I, I am very much like the, like the technologies. I like the technology.

You like the technology.

I like. I like minimalism. I like not having anything. I like everything on my computer or on my phone or anything. That being said, I, I do agree that there is something about actually writing it out. Christina has a couple YouTube videos about how to take notes, which is really great.

Nursing SOS on YouTube. Go to YouTube, type in nursing SOS notetaking.

It's a really great way of doing it and it works for both in person and online classes, so no worries there. But yeah, there is something about actually picking up a pen and writing through things. If you want to be minimalist like me afterwards, you can always transfer it over and just the rote writing again, just writing it over and over again. The more times you go through that material, the better. So it's not the end of the world to write it out and then rewrite it again on a computer or something else like that. It just is another way that you can review your material.

Yep.

So there is something to be said about actually writing it on paper that that is helpful.

Absolutely. I think you can just. It really is that kinesthetic part. Hey, quick question, Matthew, do you have your phone?

I do have my phone.

Can we get on Facebook? Because I Feel bad for Facebook because we're, like, not getting our comments. Facebook. I wonder, could you find our live on Facebook and then can we see the comments on your phone? That's what I'm wondering. Maybe just make sure to turn your sound off. Oh, I've done that before where I get like the.

Let me see if I can do that.

Not sure who came up with it. Oh, yeah, okay. We talked about that. Yeah. Any advice for mental health? Yes, Mental health is very much. A lot of it is memorization. A lot of it is compare and contrast. Okay. If you're in mental health, you probably know what I mean. A lot of things are very different and a lot of things are very, very similar, but have some very stark differences. So mental health, when studying for mental health, what I always say is that it's very, very important that you create a compare contrast chart. I think that is the most helpful thing to do because some things are so similar, but yet so different in really critical aspects. So mental health, that's what I recommend. Also medications. Mental health is a lot of pharmacology. It's a lot of medications, a lot of pharmacology. So that is what I really recommend, that you focus on pharmacology. Compare contrast charts. Hey, we have Facebook comments. So people are commenting on the Facebook. So thank you. Facebook comments. We can see you on here.

I will get there.

Sorry. Okay. In just a moment, we will find some. All right. All right.

Sorry, I. I heard you talking about the mnemonic for.

Yes.

Yeah. Someone on Facebook has another one. Kings hate dragons because dragons can't make money.

That's great.

I like that one.

Okay, That's a good one. That's funny.

So again, whatever mnemonic works for you, whether it's something that someone else has thought of or, like I said, make up your own ridiculous one. The more ridiculous usually the more it hangs on in your mind. As long as you can kind of match those two up together. So as long as it helps you.

Yep. Facebook. I'm so glad that we have your comments now on Matthew's phone. Sorry, we cannot see it here on my phone. So literally, guys, right now we have 1, 2, 3, 4 technologies. It's pretty fun in our face.

So, like I said, I like the technology.

Oh, and the whole computer screen, too. Oh, man. Because Matthew tracks your comments and we.

Have all the things, we actually have a Facebook question.

Go for it.

And it's been asked on YouTube a couple different times, so might as well talk about that one. Any advice for med Surg. What can you expect walking into med Surg? And any advice how to prepare for med Surg? So lots of med surg adjacent questions.

Lots of med surg adjacent questions. I think we got one of those on Instagram too. So med surge, let's see, talk about it. Med surge is really where you start to take off in nursing school. So your nursing school is going to go something like this. You have your basics, fundamentals, things like that. And then you start to get into your med surge, basic med surge, where you are learning more of the high level med surge disorders, things like diabetes, heart failure, stroke, the really common ones. Then you'll get into advanced med surgery, critical care. Well, where you'll learn about ventilators, you know, tracheostomies, chest tubes, sepsis, pneumothorax, things like that. So you go from kind of your higher level med surge more, you know, the, I don't want to say basic but like higher level med surge topics and you know, your first med search course to then more advanced medsurg, critical care, things like that. That's kind of the progression. So med surge, when you start your med surg class, you're going to be learning all those disorders. And like we talk about, always, always focus on four main things. Pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions. Those are the four main things that you are going to want to focus on when studying, studying med surge. That is what they're going to teach you on. You are not likely to be tested on pathophysiology, however, pathophysiology is the foundation of everything else that you will be studying, namely the signs and symptoms, the nursing assessment and the nursing interventions. It is very hard to understand what is happening like the signs and symptoms that you're going to see in a patient or the nursing assessment you have to do to fix it. And, and the nursing or the nursing assessment and the nursing interventions you have to do to, to do the, to fix it. If you don't understand what's actually happening, you have to understand the pathophysiology first. Then you can understand the other three categories. Signs and symptoms, nursing assessment and nursing interventions. So that is what you will focus on when studying med surg. That advice stays the same. Then focus on studying the things that your professors talk about in class, whether it's online or in a physical class. So make sure that you are not reading the entire textbook. That would be crazy. There's too much in there. I mean it's ginormous and you have so many textbooks. Waste of time. Focus on studying the things that your professors talk about in class and focus on those four main categories. Said so med surge. That's kind of your high level, basic med surge. You will maybe go to clinical. Can you guys tell me on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, clinical. Where are you at? What's going on for you for clinical? Are you online for clinical? Are you doing clinical hours at school? Are you going to a facility for clinical? Let me know. Tell me what's going on. Tell me all the things.

Awesome.

Where can I go to pass my entrance exam?

Well, actually in regards to. Well, I don't know if it's regards. We can circle back around on that.

With entry exams, but no to med surgery. I was thinking the clinical. So tell me what you're doing for clinicals.

Oh, okay.

And a virtual clinical and we'll circle back. So go Matthew.

Yeah. So no. Next question from YouTube and other places is. I'm currently working on my prerequisites. Where can I help? Or where can I find help with that?

And just so much. Yeah, that's been like a consistent question that has weeks. Yeah, we've gotten in our inbox.

Currently working with prerequisites. What was the other one? And then this is kind of another part of another question. But have any. Do you have any videos on amp? Because it's kind of.

Yeah, a prereqs. This one here on Instagram. What do you think about getting a CNA job before nursing school? We just got a lot of pre nursing school questions. And so I do not. Yeah, where can I go to help pass the nursing program entrance exam? So a lot of you guys are not even in nursing school yet. You're taking your prereqs or. I mean, you might be in nursing school, but not in your core nursing classes. So pre reqs is A and P is a lot of memorization. Anything that is rote memorization, you guys, this includes things like a lot of fundamental stuff that you'll take in nursing. Fundamentals. A lot of that is memorization, too. Like we said, mental health, some of it. Infectious diseases like the immune schedule, the immunity schedule for our immunity schedule, the vaccination schedule for pediatrics. One of us just memorization. So anything that you just wrote, need to memorize. Flashcards and whiteboards. That's the key. That's the dream. Really. Whiteboards make your dream work. What is that?

That's a nice saying.

Hard work. Put that on a framework, Put that on the shirt.

White boards make your Dreams work.

Yeah, whiteboards make your dreams work.

I like.

They do. Flashcards and whiteboards, my friends. Flashcards. I need a shirt that says that. Flashcards and whiteboards. Can someone please make me a shirt? Flashcards and whiteboards do it because that is really the key for memorization. Anything that you just need to memorize, that's it.

And shout out to Pre nursing.

Yeah, Pre Nursing Smarter. Kate. For the teas test. If you have to take the ATI teas test for an entrance exam. There's a bunch of different nursing entrance exams I probably should have clarified. Friend on Instagram. Stephanie. Hi, Stephanie. Where can I get help to pass the nursing program entrance exam? Yeah, it depends on what entrance exam you have to take because there's different ones. So the. One of the most common ones is the atits exam. And so my girl Kate over at Pre Nursing Smarter. So at. At. Do you see my little a. @pre nursingsmarter over on Instagram. Check her out. And her website as well as free Nursing Smart at Pre Nursing. Check that out.

All right.

She's awesome. Yeah. We got so many med search questions, you guys. Who's all heading in Med surge, hand up, raise your hand.

Let's see on Facebook, just to get some people.

Instagram. I almost canceled you. So sorry, friend. So sorry. Instagram.

There are actually some people that are placed in a hospital.

Woo. Very nice.

That's awesome. Clinical hours at school, busy work with mannequin scenarios.

Oh, busy work with mannequin scenarios. I. Let me just tell you something, friends. I would much rather you work on a mannequin before you work on me as your patient in a hospital, not busy work. Please, please, please, like, take that seriously. Take your clinical scenarios seriously. Even if it's in a lab. Even if it's in your skills lab. Get it right on a Macon first before you do it on me.

That's a good point.

Sounds like good advice.

That's a valid point.

Yeah. As of right now, we will have labs and clinicals. That's from TIFF.

Okay. On YouTube. Half clinicals in hospital, other half online case studies. So that's cool.

Virtual clinical for Emily. All right. You guys got all the stuff? Yep.

All right, for those who are joining, welcome to the nursing school show. Ask me anything. Ask Christina. Mostly anything. Ask me next to nothing. And we'll be good.

And we'll be good.

Go ahead and post up your comments and we're trying to get through as many as we can. There's a really good question from YouTube.

Go YouTube. What's your question?

I actually graduate in six weeks. How would you say that? The current situation of our world. I'm not going to say what they actually said, but you can figure it out.

YouTube does figure it out. Those words these days.

How has it impacted new grads when it comes to job hunting? Also, any new advice for new grads? There's someone else that asked, I think last week and we weren't able to get to them. But I want to throw this in here too, because it's related. I'm pretty discouraged about job placement because my career service department says hospitals only hire inter residency programs and I could only apply to home health or a non hospital job. That's not what I want at all. Have you heard of this before? So basically, what do they do after they graduate?

Christina?

Oh, is this a soapbox moment. Yes. We at least get this once alive. So you're in for a treat.

For a treat.

There you go.

All right, let me just step up here on my soapbox, my friends, if the world tells you that you can't, you turn right around and you say, watch me. So what I gathered from that question is that you've had instructors, you've had other nurses, you've had nursing students, you've had the world. Everybody out there that tells you that, hey, you know, right? Like, you know, someone's told you that you can't get a job after you graduate nursing school. Like someone's told you that, right? Like the world, the world has told you that you have to go into a resident residency program or you'll never be able to be a nurse. Like the world's told you that. Such a lie. Do not listen to the world, my friend. If someone tells you that you can't, you turn right around back to them and say, watch me. Watch me do it. Watch me make it happen. Watch me do this, because I'm gonna show you that it can be done and then do it. So it's just such a lie and it bothers me. Can you tell? I get dramatic about it. I get dramatic. It bugs me when people tell me that I can't do something that bugs me. Like, mind your own business. Watch me make it happen. That's. That's just my personality. I don't know about you. Apparently people agree because I'm getting a lot of hearts on Instagram right now. Thank you, Instagram. So this happens a lot with new grads and like, people just tell you, like you just, you know, right? Like you know that you have to do med surg first or you know that you have to go in a skilled nursing facility first. You have to work long term care, you have to work hospice. Like, like, lies. All of them lies. I have had friends in nursing school and just friends that I've just had who I didn't go to nursing school with, who, like, didn't work long term care before they went and was a med surge nurse. Like, you can do whatever you want. You know that, right? Like, you could do whatever you want. There's no rules with that. Like, you can go find whatever job you want as long as you're qualified for it. As long as you could do the job. Like, do it. Make it happen. Get the job you want. Friends, don't let the world tell you that you can't. That's such a waste of time to listen to other people. Like, don't listen to other people. But it's. I mean, you know what I'm saying, right? If someone is telling you that you cannot be who you want to be, do what you want to do, reach your dreams. If someone is trying to hold you back, like, don't listen to them. Come on now. Just don't do it. You should see the emails we get every week. People are like, christina, you're too much. I'm like, thank you.

Too much. Hand movements, too.

People don't like my hand movements, apparently.

So, yeah, I definitely get that.

Still here. Still here. You get that? You don't like my hand?

No, actually, I find that I've moved my. I move my hands lot more now, too.

So, yeah, for sure.

It helps to get the idea across and to get the words out of your mouth.

Out of your.

Out of my mouth.

Anyway, there you go. So there you go. There's your hands movements for the day. YouTube haters. No, there you go.

I was gonna say. Yeah, I get the. Yeah. If. If people tell you, can't do this, can't do that, definitely take it with a grain of salt, I'd say. And figure out a way. You can always figure out a way.

Jam on that.

I'm gonna jam on that. Where? Okay. All right. Yeah. So just figure it out.

I have a treat.

You might not.

I have a treat.

What can I say? There's always a way. Think outside the box.

Yes.

And make it happen. So I get that with one of the questions. I was just wondering, after you show this, after you go through that, I.

Have a treat for you guys kind.

Of backing up to the first question or first part of that question. Is there any practical things about what to do when graduating or after graduating.

Am I to answer that?

Now you can show what you were going to show.

This is in our video studio as a constant reminder to keep going. Hustle until your haters ask if you're hiring. Can I get an amen? Can you see this? Facebook.

There you go.

See it? YouTube. Hustle until your haters ask if you're hiring. This might be backwards. There's a very good.

It's backwards to us, but it's right for them.

Is it right for you?

Yeah, it's right for them.

Screenshot it. Screenshot this.

Pose.

Screenshot it. Hustle until your haters ask if you're hiring. If I had listened to every single email that I get. That's like just curse words at me. I mean, I don't even know where those come from. YouTube comments. I don't know. I don't get very mean comments on Instagram, so I can't really say Instagram. Facebook comments. Facebook. Let me just tell you, if I listen to that, friends, where would we be? I would not be helping you right now in nursing school. Let me just tell you. Good thing I didn't listen.

They're laughing because, yes, it is backwards. Sorry, Instagram.

It's backwards. Sorry, Instagram. Probably sorry, Facebook too. But you know, can't you like reverse? Thanks for reading it. Can't read backwards. Sorry, Gabrielle. I love it. So there's my soapbox.

To answer directly, would you say that this current environment has impacted new grads? I would say yes, it has impacted new grads, but so has everything else in the past too. Everything is constantly changing. Everything is slightly different for new people coming out as graduates.

Right.

So has it impacted more? Maybe, maybe not.

Your nclex is shorter.

Congratulations when it comes to job hunting. So, yeah, it definitely has impacted it. Has it impacted it positively or negatively? I guess that more comes out to your viewset. We talk about this a lot. It's mindset. So look for the jobs that you want. Hustle and make it happen. Think outside the box. Think about ways of getting it and making it happen.

Let's just leave this here. We can cut the life now. We'll just leave this side. Hustle until your headers. Ask if you're hiring friends on YouTube, Facebook and the Instagrams.

I do know that we had a question kind of like this for our private tutoring in the membership a while back and our manager, yep, community manager.

Nicole, talked about it.

Actually came on and talked about it.

I think a lot of what she had said was ask a bazillion questions. Like, when you get on the floor as a new grad, ask a thousand questions. That's what she had said. Which goes for clinical, too. Like, when you are in nursing school, ask a thousand questions every day. Every day. Okay, here's. So we get a lot of questions about online classes, friends, if you are in online classes, which, like, come on, like, all of us are right now. Not me. I'm not in nursing school anymore. But, like, I identify with you. So we're all in online classes together. So ask your. Ask your instructors a gazillion questions every single day. This means that you email them. It's totally fine. If you cannot physically walk into their office. That's totally fine. They're still available for email. Email them constantly. Always get to know them. Ask how you can support them. There's a concept. Be nice to people. Just be nice to everybody, including your instructors. Man, Christina's sassy pants today. Do you like my sassy pants? Okay, can you guys just tell me, is it a little too much? Is my sass a little too much? Am I a little too direct? Because I have heard this both ways. Yeah. I can see how some people would think that I'm too direct and a little too sassy, but I could see that some people love it. I would love it. So this is kind of how I teach and how I coach other people. I coach how I would want to be coached, and I like to be coached with a little bit sass. Like, I just need somebody to kind of kick me in the pants, you know? You see what I'm saying? So I am here for you to get your pants. You know, hey, I'm getting a lot of hearts on Instagram. So apparently people think my sassiness is awesome and worth the hearts. See, people say they want it. I don't know. Gabrielle says she loves my honesty.

Awesome.

Honesty is the best policy. Is that.

Is that the phrase rhyming is the best policy? Because then people remember it more.

Yeah.

Yeah. So any more tips on that is found in our membership community. Yeah, we do have. We do have a private TW tutoring call that you guys have every week that you guys kind of dive into that a little bit. Talk about our membership community. It is now closed right now. But if you do want to join the membership community, go ahead and join the wait list.

The secret's out, friends. It's opening very soon.

Oh, so it's opening very soon. So I guess that's a secret. That is no longer a secret.

It's a happy wink. Join the wait list. Wink. The nursing SOS membership community is opening soon. Wink. For fall. Wink.

So there you go.

Every day we get students that are like, wow, let me in, please. So wink. Join the wait list. Sonia says, I think you're passionate. That's what I would call it. Thank you. Sorry. I really appreciate that.

It's a good way of putting it. Passionate.

That's me. Passionate about nursing. Passionate about life. Emily loves it. It's great. Thank you. What is Facebook? Does Facebook love or hate me?

Facebook. Let's take a look.

I feel like Facebook always hates me. I can never get Facebook to work. Yeah, I just can't. Facebook locked me out the other day much than anything.

Except that their sign was backwards.

Okay, I'm starting this backwards. Sorry, Facebook. I love your sassy. Because I'm sassy. There you go. Thanks. Instagram. Instagram is all the hearts today. Sorry, Facebook, that I cannot see your comments on the screen. But Matthew has them on his.

I do. So if I'm looking down, that's what's happening.

Y.

So. All right, let's see. Another question to field asked a couple times. Let's see. Where. Where is it?

Did anybody notice that we didn't post a YouTube video last week, by the way?

I noticed. I noticed because I edited and I'm.

Still editing, by the way. It's coming tomorrow and it's good. Okay, watch it.

I'm new to your channel. Oh, wait. Okay. Me. Maria is wrong.

Where did this go?

Yeah, I got a lot of tips. So I'm not sure if this is said that because they joined the channel, they got a lot of tips from us about pharmacists, pharmacology or is asking for a lot of tips about pharmacology. Well, let's just go with that. What are some tips with pharmacology? Because people have asked numerous times during this live. So we talk about it pretty much every live.

Yeah, but pharmacology is a big deal.

Yes, it is a big deal. So pharmacology help.

Go, go. One, two, three, go.

So.

There was also a question that I saw on pharmacology and the NCLEX and how to study. Did you see that come through? I saw that like before pharmacology and the nclex. So let's talk about both of those together. So when you are studying pharmacology, you need to study the mechanism of action, preferably for the drug class. Here's why the drug class is a Group of drugs that act the same way in the body. And this is specifically the pharmacologic class. Group of drugs that act the same way in the body. Every medication within a pharmacologic class acts the same way in the body. It has a very similar chemical structure. Acts the same way in the body. That means that the side effects are going to be very, very similar. Nursing assessment. Similar how you give it. Nursing considerations, intervention. So study the mechanism of action for the drug class and then you will automatically know what the mechanism of action for is for each individual drug within that drug class. How many times can Christina say I put out a YouTube video, this was a few months ago on how to learn medications faster. Highly recommended by the way. Go look out. Go look up that video. Nursing SOS. Like go to YouTube, type in nursing SOS medications or nursing SOS pharmacology. Anyway, that video, apparently people find it because they Google how to make drugs. Do not talk about that in this video.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know what you're searching for.

Spoiler alert. We do not teach you how to make drugs.

Oh, no, this is not Breaking Bad pharmacology. So learn the mechanism of action for the drug class. Now with the nclex, with ati, with your nursing exams, with anything like that, they're going to include the generic name of the medication. There's a lot of different names for medications. Generic name. There's only one trade name or brand name. There's a bunch. So you need to know the generic name of the medication because that is what they are going to remember. You remember you on, test you on, remember you on, Learn the generic name. Remember the generic name. Don't. Yeah, like you can know the trade names obviously, but you need to know the generic thing. Focus on memorizing, remembering. That's what I was. That's what it was.

That's what you were remembering.

That's what I was remembering. Make sure that you know the generic name of the medication before you go to your exam. Oh, Instagram. I love you. You're the best. All the hearts. I just love it. Drink every time, Christina.

It's a fun game.

Oh, Instagram. That's funny. Ah, Instagram. You are the best. What would I do without you? I tell you what, it's almost 10 o' clock on a Monday and I'm fading. I feel like I am just. I feel like I have. I am just tired. You could just feel tired sometimes.

It happens sometimes. Well, what did we say last week? We just push through it.

Push through it, push through it. Motivation. You don't need it. You just need dedication for God.

Yes.

And coffee.

And that's a good reminder since a lot of people are starting or just getting going. So remember, remember your why. Remember why you're doing things. And motivation is not everything. Motivation comes and goes, but you need something stronger than that to keep pushing forward.

Yep, absolutely. How to handle separation anxiety with the kids.

I saw that.

Can I talk about this?

Yeah, go ahead.

I don't think people are going to like my answer, so that's why I'm a little bit nervous about this. I don't know if you're going to like my answer or not. Separation anxiety with the kids. How to handle going to nursing school and being away from your kids, especially if they're little. Okay, here's the thing. I cannot tell you honestly, if I would have gone to nursing school with little kids, to be honest, I probably wouldn't have. And I don't think people are going to like that answer. But honestly, I probably would have waited. So that's my answer. It's, it's, it's up to you. You have to get very clear on what your priorities are. Very clear on what your priorities are. If your priority is not nursing school, that's probably not a very good time to go to nursing school. If your priority is nursing school, then yeah, sure, you can. You just have to go and go into it knowing that you're going to have to sacrifice time with your family for us. I did sacrifice time with just my family. It was just him and friends and extended family who we are very close with, you know, family. We did not have kids in nursing school. And I can't honestly say. I, I just genuinely, I truly believe, like, what do you, Would you back.

Me up on that?

I probably wouldn't go to nursing school if our.

Yeah, I would, I would agree with that. We are in a different place now than we were when you were going through nursing school. I, I do say it kind of light heartedly, but it is true that when we decided that you go through nursing school, it was just me. We knew what season we're in. And I think that's, that's the other point that I just wanted to get across is that it's all this whole idea about work life balance is. It's true, but in a way that I feel like not a lot of people really push for. It's a work life balance in seasons. So recognize what season you're in and determine what season you want to be in as well. So nursing school does take up a lot of time. It does take up a lot of energy. So just decide what your season of life is going to be. And along with that, something else that we talk about a lot is mindset. Working with your mindset, working with yourself and becoming clear with yourself what your answers to those questions are. Really the anxiety and stress come from the fact that you're not in total alignment with what you're doing. So becoming in total alignment will help a lot with that.

Yeah. So whatever mommy guilt stuff.

Yes, whatever you decide on that. And you did, you have posted a couple of YouTubes, one about mommy guilt. Not you to mention it. That was quite a while back. But then you also did, did post something just a couple weeks ago about priorities.

Yeah, priorities and kind of that work, life balance. So go to YouTube. I think it's, I think it was the study schedule. One YouTube nursing SOS study schedule. Okay, sorry, Instagram. We only have an hour with you and Instagram's telling us goodbye. So drop off. I hope that was helpful. Instagram. Bye.

For those of you guys on YouTube and Facebook, we can continue talking about it a little bit.

I think this is a big deal. I cannot. So that's the thing, that's really the thing that I don't think people would expect to hear. Maybe not expect to hear from me, expect to hear from other people. But you have to know your priorities. And in this season of life, whatever season you're in, if nursing school is not your priority, if you've got little kids at home, you can ride it out for a couple of years, I mean, that's fine. Wait till your kids are school age or older to go to nursing school. Nursing school. School is always going to be here. It's always going to be here. But if you know that this is what God wants you to do, he wants you to go to nursing school now and then, you know, so you, you know what, whatever, whatever the plan is for you, you know that, then do it. Follow that. But the thing is, for me, I don't think I would have.

So it is a very, it is a very personal question. It's a question that you need to pray about and ask God about on what season you are going to be in, what he wants you to do. But definitely it is not popular with what you were just saying that it is okay to wait or it's okay to put one thing above the other. Or you can have your pie and eat it too. And not to say that you can't do everything. With God's help, you can do anything. You can do everything. You can have little kids and go through nursing school. If that is what God has planned for you, that is. That is 100% a possibility. But you need to be in alignment with your. With your belief structure. You need to be in alignment with your mindset so that you can move forward with what you're doing with a clear conscience.

Right.

That this is what God has made me to do, and this is the season of life we are in. Whether it is in nursing school or whether it is. You know what? I'm going to put this off for a little while and be with my kids. Another thing that's really interesting. I follow Rory Vaden a lot. He's a great brand speaker and just business leader. Business leader, motivational speaker.

He's the CEO of Nursing S.O.S. by the way, did you guys know this one? Yeah, he's the CEO. Oh, you. Not one.

No, no.

You are the CEO. I don't know if you guys knew that. Actually, I am not the CEO, so.

I follow him a lot. And he mentioned actually something really, really funny that look up priority in the dictionary, and what do you find that priority in its original form? There is no plural. There's no priorities. There's only one priority. So determine what your priority is, and that is your one thing that you're doing, the one thing that you're going to strive for and do. So that's kind of misconception or conflation of using the word priorities, but I like thinking about it as what is my one priority and what am I in the season of doing right now?

Yep. So if nursing school is your 1 priority, you just have to go into it knowing that you are. You will have less time with your kids, you will have less time with your family. And if that is okay with you, then go for it and go all in. If that's not okay with you, make sure you recognize that. And maybe you put off nursing school. It's an absolute possibility. That's totally fine. Don't let anybody tell you again, like back to what we were talking about, like an hour ago. Don't let anybody tell you what you can or cannot do. And it goes both ways. If someone tells you that you need to go to nursing school now, challenge that you don't have to go to nursing school right now if you don't want to. Like, if you are in this season of Life with everything happening in the world. I was just having a conversation about this with our members. If you are in a season of life right now where you are homeschooling your kids because they are not in school anymore, if you cannot go anywhere outside of your house, you know, if you just lost your job, you know, all of these things, and you want to go to nursing school right now, like, just, you know, if you feel like you have to go to nursing school because everyone is telling you to go to nursing school, but at the same time, you just lost your job, your kids, you have to homeschool them, you know, your husband's home, you know, what have you. Maybe now is not the time. Maybe we can just consider that now is not the time. I just want to offer that to you. Like, I just want to offer that to you that you don't have to do anything that you don't want to do. Nursing school can wait. It's fine.

This kind of goes back to what we were talking about earlier. Don't do things just because people tell you to do it, or don't do things just because you feel like the world wants you to do this or that you have to do this. You need to do it because you are in alignment with what you're going.

To be doing and what God wants.

And what God wants you to do.

Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. I do believe that that oftentimes we get calls. If you're on our email list, you got an email from me last Friday because I specifically had something on my heart that I needed to share with you. And so, yeah, if you're on our email list, you got that. But also another one for me is like, we just have to be very in tune with what God wants. That's the question we need to be answering, asking, what does God want? And then seeking that answer, you know, what does God want? So for us, we have decided to homeschool our kids outside of the whole world situation. Like, we made this decision years ago not because we wanted to. I never thought I would be a homeschooling mom, but God put that on my heart. And he said, christina, you need to work on your patience, and this is how you're going to do it. And so that is, like, hard for me because I don't want to. Don't want to do that. Like, when that happened, like, when I got that, when I got that from God, it was like, no, I do not want to do that. Why do I need to do that? And there's a lot of pushback. Right. I have since come to terms with it, and it sounds Fun. But at the same time, like we get those calls sometimes. If God is calling you into nursing right now, do it. If God is calling you to stay home with your family right now, do it. You know, we need to be asking the right questions and always the right question is, what does God want? Always. That's always the right question to ask. What does God want? The end.

Awesome.

I think that's a great. I think that's a great way to end a Monday morning live ama.

Thank you guys for joining us.

We'll be back on Wednesday.

We'll be back on Wednesday. Facebook will will be back on Wednesday as well. So we'll try and refine some things. Yeah, there are a couple questions that we were not able to get to that I have captured here. Questions about maternity. My we talked about it earlier in the video or in our life. But we'll talk about again more about dosage calc. Spoiler alert. Use dimensional analysis. But you can go back through this ama and I think it's the AMA from last week too that we went into detail about. Dosage. Calc.

Yep. Was it this one? So Benita on oh, dosage, calculation, dosage and calculation.

So we'll probably talk about that more. Wednesday, there were questions about maternity. I noted it down on Facebook so maybe we'll get that on Wednesday too. So we'll see you then. Same time, same place, same people.

Sorry, Facebook, we just can't see your questions on here, but we can see it on Matthew's phone.

So I'll start that at the beginning.

On Wednesday as well.

So go ahead and keep commenting. Also on YouTube, we have posted the one on Wednesday up already. So if you want to ask your questions there, we'll get those right before it starts. So definitely do that.

Yeah, so I'm going to try to do it earlier. So there will be like an upcoming live video on YouTube every week. So like we do it Mondays and Wednesdays. So hopefully we will have that video posted up on. It'll say like upcoming live stream or upcoming, you know, upcoming live, whatever. Then on that video on YouTube you can, before we go live, you can post in the chat or post in the comments your question to get it in the queue for us. So that would be. It's one way to go if you would like to get your questions answered. If you are a Nursing association member, you have your own form. Form. You probably know where to find it. I email it to you and things so you can fill that out. And we give our nursing SOS members priority so just like we did today, we will answer our members questions first.

Great.

Thanks for hanging out with us, you guys.

Thanks guys. We'll talk to you later.

Bye bye. All right, where do I press it?

End scream. Are you sure? All right, bye bye.
