Hi Heather
I was browsing on your You Tube page and saw a post asking for the link to the nursing care plan step by step someone posted. We are getting ready to start doing care plans in clinicals in the next few weeks and I would love to have the link!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the nursing care plan . my main issue is how to determine the nurse dx by the pcp dx such as DM or HTN. Can you please help me?

Hi. Sorry it took awhile to respond, but for hypertension you could say,”decreased cardiac output r/t hypertension as evidenced by decreased stroke volume.” If you look up decreased stroke volume on the link I posted below, it will help you put together your care plan. I posted 2 links to help you with your search.=) Have fun.

Hi Heather,
I just wanted to let you know that I randomly found your videos and they are so amazing. I am in my second semester of nursing school and your videos have given me the inspiration that I can do this. Like my fundametals instructor told us “Nursing’s easy” ; )
Thank you so much!

Hi!! Ya, nursing school is not that bad. Just time consuming. It’s so worth it though. Soon enough you will be standing on the stage graduating.=)

I stumbled upon your you tube vidoes and blog by accident and i’m so thankful I did. Your advice, stories, and positive attitude are great! I just completed my orientation for my nursing program today. I start school on the 4th of April.. I’m scared out of my mind, but also nervous, but I can’t wait to begin the journey! Thanks Katie from Ohio

Hi Heather! Just wanted to say that Im so inspired by your vids. I’ve been a RN for 2 years now and thinking about becoming a travel nurse. Im a little scared because Ive been on the same unit for 2 years now, working with renal patients. Was just wandering how long have you been a nurse? What made you decide to travel? How many years do you suggest to have under your belt before traveling? And whats the best way to get into traveling? I know that Ive asked alot of questions lol, but would really like to hear from you. Thanks in advance!

Hi!! I have been a nurse for 9 years. I wanted to travel because it is such a great opportunity to see the other parts of the world for practically free, and creates new opportunities to learn and grow. I love to travel. Having 2 years experience is good. There are so many travel companies. Basically if you give your information to one company, other companies will take your info and be calling you too. You can sign up with 1 or even 3 companies for more opportunities. Once you give them your info, and you can do this over the internet. the nursing recruiter will call you and they can tell you what needs to be done to get started. Good luck. It’s so much fun.
