 Hi guys, and welcome back to my channel. I wanted to do a video today on the ultimate NCLEX resource and an ultimate resource for nursing school as well. You guys know that I have worked with Picmonic for a couple of years now. I love Picmonic. They're sponsoring this video, and they came out with their cheat sheets, a little workbook here. And I wanted to go through it with you guys and show you all about what it's about because I think this can be super helpful if you are in nursing school or you are trying to prepare for the NCLEX all the time you guys ask me what workbooks can I use, what books, what study resources can I use for preparing for the NCLEX or to help me through nursing school. And I always, always, always recommend Picmonic. And it's so nice now that they have like a tangible cheat sheets book because some people just really prefer to like physically have something in their hands versus just being on the app. Some people prefer to, you know, be on their phone, on an app. And the great thing about Picmonic is they have both. They have an app you can be on your computer or now they have this awesome workbook that can go in conjunction with their app. So I kind of want to go through this a little bit with you guys so you can see if this is something that'd be helpful for you all. This is a research-based proven method to help you study for nursing school and the NCLEX. There's 70 cheat sheets in here and what I love about it is it's very thin and I don't mean this in a bad way. I mean it in a good way because it's so overwhelming when you get nursing textbooks and they're like this thick. It's like, I don't even want to start because I just, I just can't. I feel overwhelmed and I haven't even began yet. But this is just over 80 pages, which if you think about it, you could do one page a day and be done stunning in two and a half months. And that's super reasonable because look at these pages. They're all very concise and they're filled with lots of pictures and graphics. And that's what Picmonic is known for is their fun graphics and characters that they use to tell stories to help you with nursing school content. So for example, if you're learning about, I don't know, you're in your OB semester and you're learning about Placenta Acreta or Placenta Previa. They will use fun nursing characters and different graphics to help you learn that information. So it helps you like trigger your memory. It helps you remember information in a fun and meaningful way. I know when I was in nursing school, I literally would make up stories to learn information. So like if I was learning about, I don't know, high blood pressure, I would make up some funny story to help me remember like what high blood pressure was, what's primary hypertension, what's secondary hypertension. But Picmonic does it for you. So it makes it super easy. You don't have to come up with your own like stories. They literally create all of these stories for you. And what's nice is on these pages here, they have a QRS code. So you can literally use your phone, scan it and it goes directly to the app. So if you are learning information here, you can also learn it on the app on the go. But you don't even need to use the app if you don't want to. It is helpful. But this goes over all of the main content that you're going to need to know for the NCLEX and that you cover in nursing school. It also goes over test taking strategies, which we can all use more test taking strategies. It seems like even if you know all the information, it doesn't matter if you aren't like a great test taker. So it gives you strategies and resources to help you out with that. Like I want to read to you guys all of the things that this book covers because I think it would be helpful to hear. But it covers one test taking strategies, which I just told you about lab values, fundamentals, cardiovascular, respiratory, and tegmentary, immune, endocrine, gastrointestinal, electrolytes, hematological, musculoskeletal, nervous, reproductive slash obstetrics, pharmacology, and yeah. So literally all of the main information that you need to know for the NCLEX and nursing school is in this book and it's super reasonably priced and you can get it on Amazon, which is even better. I feel like if you can't get something on Amazon, like why would you even want to get it? So I will leave a link down below for you guys to check it out. I'll also leave the Picmonic link down below if you want to check out Picmonic. You can try it out for free with my link. So it's kind of a no-brainer for you guys to use this in conjunction with the app, get more bang for your buck, so to speak. But yes, so I hope you guys check this out. Let me know if you do and how you like it. I know a lot of you guys have used Picmonic because I talk about them all the time and I love when you message me and say like, I use Picmonic and I pass my NCLEX or I've been using them. It's super helpful. I'm doing better in nursing school. So so many of you guys have such positive feedback. I've literally never heard any negative feedback from you guys about Picmonic. So check them out. Let me know what you think and I will see you guys in my next video. Bye. Remember hypertension assessment as the assess man cracking down on a chef with high blood pressure. Essential hypertension shown by the espresso hiker BP is idiopathic but may be linked to genetics, poor diet or obesity, whereas secondary hypertension shown by the 2-2 hiker BP is the result of a disease or medication. Assessment findings may include a headache shown by the hiker BP planting a flag in the chef, causing a head egg lump, vision changes shown by the delta signs or a nose bleed, the chef's nose bleeding. Patients may experience chest pain shown by the chest pain bolts or syncope, the medical term for fainting shown by the sink of peas fainting. Diagnosis criteria include taking an average of two sets of readings two minutes apart shown by the two sets of BP cuffs with the 2-2 clock between as well as having elevated blood pressure readings on two or more visits shown by the second visitor sign in. Nursing considerations include taking the BP in both arms the BP cuffs on both arms and keeping in mind that hypertension is common in African Americans. In summary there are two types of hypertension essential and secondary. Assessment findings for either may include a headache, vision changes, nose bleed, chest pain and syncope. Diagnosis includes averaging two sets of readings two minutes apart and doing so over two or more visits. Take the BP in both arms and remember this condition is common in African Americans.
