Hi from Ohio! I graduated as an LPN Last February and just got accepted into the RN program at my school. Couldn't be more excited to continue my education. I've followed you for quite sometime now, and I appreciate all of your awesome knowledge you share with all of us :) "We are better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow" We should always be bettering our selfs and one another.
ddr112266 Hi From Ohio!! Thanks so much for the love :) Congratulations on your accomplishment!! And thank you so much for following :) I will do my best to keep the videos coming!! And the positive quote! I appreciate it so much :) ttys!! xoxo!!
Thank you for all your videos! I'm a nursing students and sometimes my teachers don't break it down well enough because of how fast we move but your videos help so much!
+Haley Tharp I know! That's why reviewing and studying every now and then really helps. Thanks for letting me know you the video helped. It means a lot. -xoxo
Love your videos so much! I'm less than two months from graduation and I've been watching your videos all through nursing school. You have helped me a lot with learning, but most importantly, keeping me motivated! Thanks for all you do!
NCBKitten This is so flattering! you make all those efforts worth it. I'm so grateful that you've let me know. Congratulation in advance. Keep in touch! -xoxo
Thanks so much, Im an Australian studying for my final pharmacy oral exam and these videos are very informative. I am proud of your sound knowledge and presentations!
Jordan Downes Hi Jordan! Thanks a lot for letting me know. It means a lot.I wish you all the best in your oral exam. You can do it!Can't wait to see you here again soon. -xoxo!!
I love how you go into such detail explaining the entire process in your videos. Thanks for being here for us, you are making a huge difference! Keep up your awesome passion you are doing an excellent job!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I can clearly see you took a lot of effort. The information was explained perfectly and gave me a better understanding of Lasix. Keep up the great work and thank you.
Krystal Jeror Hi Krystal, thank you for noticing... each video takes a tremendous amount of work. But, for comments like this, it is worth it :) See you soon, I hope!! xoxo - Caroline
About a year ago I became a nurse. I've been at my current position at a family health Center for almost a year now. When I was applying for jobs I asked your opinion and you were simply wonderful. Thank you for making these videos and being an inspiration. My last patient of the day today was on lasix and I had to call then to increase their lasix dosage and it was such a coincidence this is the video you posted. Thank you so much for your detailed explanations. Also have you done a video on Coumadin? Thanks :)
loirausabr Awe yay!! So glad that you got the job you wanted :) I'm happy to be there for you :) lol yes what a coincidence! Meant to be :) I do not have a video on Coumadin yet... going to put that on the list! This is an important medication! Thank you!! See you soon I hope!! xoxo - Caroline
You are awesome for helping me prepare for the NCLEX! Thank you so much for the effort you have put into these videos! You're way better at teaching these than my pharm teacher was!
Thank you so much for putting up these videos! I feel more confident in my studies when I watch! Between you and simple nursing I know I will rock these last 3 classes of nursing school! Thanks big time! Love you!
Elizabeth Ortega Hi Elizabeth!! So glad to hear that! Check back often, because I have a lot more nursing content videos :) Hope to see you on here again soon! xoxo - Caroline
also can be used for hypercalcemia and therefore has a side effect of low calcium. Can also be used for increased intracranial pressure because it inhibits CSF production. It mostly gets in the renal tubules through secretion so you don't a decent GFR. That's why it works in renal failure.
First of all thanks for these videos, really helpful when it came down to getting the essentials down to pass nursing school. I passed the NCLEX on my first try this August. To all of the future RN’s or LVN’s, I wanted to share with all of you a drug app I made while studying for my NCLEX. I compiled all of the essential information I gained from my time as an RN student, along with information from Davis’s Drug Guide (15th edition), these youtube videos, and common NCLEX review courses (NCSBN, HURST, KAPLAN, and Elsevier), into one easy-to-use app to help you pass the NCLEX. It has over 350 common medications, with information ranging from class, generic (Brand) names, mechanisms of action, vital signs to watch for, labs, common and severe side effects, possible routes of administration, and nursing considerations. The best thing about it is that it is also web-based so you can access it on any device, and you can add your own notes throughout the app, as well as add new categories and drugs. The app also contains helpful lists showing normal lab values, normal vital signs for all ages, medication administration info, common conversions, isolation precautions, pregnancy categories, and substance abuse schedules. Check it out, I’m sure it will definitely help you out. I wish you all the best of luck and happy studying. Search on google play store: NCLEX Drug Study Guide. Coming to the apple store soon. Type in nclex.barcalabs.com for web access to the information.
lordia1987 You also need to use only pure sea salt prepared foods. My mum has a the same issue. The days she eats regular table salt foods (or sodium, msg & the like) she gets fluid build up. so along with your meds change to only pure sea salt and absolutely no sodium in your diet. You must also drink extra water as you can become dehydrated.
Thanks for making this video! It's a great review from when I took pharmacology last fall! You have slightly more info than when I was learning it so I added in extra notes! One of my favorite quotes recently is: "May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears." Nelson Mandela
dorkyxana Oh love the quote!! I have not seen this one before! Thanks so much for sharing & letting me know that you like the videos!! See you soon I hope!! xoxo - Caroline
Recently I went to see my doctor. All vitals were taken including BP which instead of being 147/89 was instead 90/82. Long story short the pneumonia was actually fluid in my lungs caused from CHD. I didn't swell much but couldn't breath on exertion. I take a low dose of Lasix now working up to a higher dose later. I can lay down now instead of propping up, drink more water and less sodas, make decaf iced tea and am not afraid to walk without having to stop until my lungs catch up to the exertion (?) of doing what I like. I took phen phen and now lose weight by just diet and walking. My BP is normal 127/82 for an old lady (64) and I feel a lot better. Will this cause gout? I had gout with other diuretics and to say it's unpleasant is a joke, it hurts like h__l . Thanks for this vid, I'm saving it to favorites. Thanks again.
See Canon You also need to use only pure sea salt prepared foods. My mum has a the same issue. The days she eats regular table salt foods (or sodium, msg & the like) she gets fluid build up. so along with your meds change to only pure sea salt and absolutely no sodium in your diet. Your body needs salt. You must also drink extra water as you can become dehydrated.
The background music takes off my concentration while trying to focus as I am using headphone. Your videos are great and helps me a lot. Huge thank you :)
Berserk Predator Hi Berserk! Thanks so much for letting me know!! I really appreciate it! Looking forward to seeing you on here again soon! xoxo - Caroline
I am taking diuretic as i had a heart failure and sometime i retained water in spite of taking diuretic and i have to see my doctor as i have breathing problem .is this due to lots of salt intake in the diet or the dose prescribed is lower. Your response is appreciated.
Insight Curiosity. That's correct. you need to also use only pure sea salt prepared foods. My mum has a the same issue. The days she eats regular table salt foods (or sodium, msg & the like) she gets fluid build up. so along with your meds change to only pure sea salt and absolutely no sodium in your diet. p.s. you must drink extra water as you cane become dehydrated.
Insight Curiosity. yes you would. but we all need water/hydration. what we don't need is fluid build up which becomes toxic once not flushed out. a normal functioning heart will allow for toxic flushing but heart patients need meds to assist toxic flush. and that process dehydrates so you need to drink water for hydration. trust me it works give your self one week with it and you'll feel the difference.
Allen Tilghman Hi Allen! Thanks so much for picking up the book & letting me know that you like the videos :) It means a lot :) hope to see you on here again soon! Much Love, - Caroline
michelle m Hi Michelle! So nice to see you on here again! Thanks for saying that.. it means a lot :) God willing many many more to come :D See you soon I hope! xoxo - Caroline
it's confusing on other videos it says not to have lots of fluid and in this lecture it is mentioning to have lots of water if one is one lasix so who is right and who is wrong.
+Sandee Karrer Hi Sandee, It's awesome to here from you. Thanks a lot for letting me know. It means so much. Makes all the effort worth it. I have more videos coming so keep posted. I do hope it will help you out a lot. -xoxo

How long can u see results when drinking this medication as iv been taking this but i do don't see any difference in my legs shrinking???? Its really annoying..so is there any other treatment that people can get besides jst drinking the meds????
Thanks for the video! Is there a strategy you recommend for grouping drugs together? I am trying to get a head start on my Pharm class starting next week, but I would like to get a 'big picture' outline or method to organize individual drugs. Thanks for the videos! Keep them coming!
bestberries Anytime!! Honestly, I think this book will help you a lot: amzn.to/1CeuAvA This groups all the major classes together & puts it in a silly story format, which helps you remember it :) I hope this helps!! xoxo - Caroline
I love all your videos! I'm trying to catch up on all of them. Could you possibly make a video about being a nurse and being an emotional person? After switching majors from Psychology to Nursing, I realized I'm an overly sensitive person. I can cry a lot and it's difficult to see people, especially the elderly, suffering. I'm not sure if this is something I can learn to deal with or if it's something that will prevent me from being a nurse. Thanks!!
xOtalitaxO Hi love! I think that this is a great request.. actually surprised that no one has asked this yet :) I put it in the request folder & will do the video asap!! xoxo - Caroline
Caroline! So funny you posted this- today in class they mentioned Lasix & I was like.. ¿What the heck is Lasix!!? ..Lol thank you! Ps. I think it would be a good idea if you could put a "table of contents" to the video by writing the title of each segment and the time at which each starts, in the caption area. Just a thought. Thanks again!
Angela Ortiz lol.. I did have experience like that too when I was a student. Thank you for the suggestion it's a great idea. Would love to see you here again. Keep in touch! -xoxo
+Angel Esser Hi Angel! Thank you so much for letting me know ☺️ I really appreciate it! Looking forward to seeing you on here again very soon!! Much love, - Caroline
+Vj Chiu This is a great question. In some cases the risk (in pt.s with pulmonary edema & acute respiratory distress); may outweigh the benefits.... in these situations, we work closely with the medical team of MDs/NPs/PAs and make the best decision based on the clinical. However, if it is a routine scheduled medication & the patient is not in respiratory distress. However, if the BUN & creatinine have become elevated since the medication has been administered, I would call the doctor and see if the medication is still necessary OR ask if the route IV/PO or Dose could be changed. I hope this helps!! xoxo! - Caroline
+EmpoweRN is it possible that there would be an increase fluid retention and edema in the body because as the furosemide's action is to absorb fluids from cells and kidneys are not able to excrete it out? thank you for your time. i'm really confuse..
Thanks but it would be more helpful if you discuss the mechanism of action of lasix and how it prevents the absorption of chloride in the ascending loop of henle ...many thanks
deaconblue9038 Hi love! I'm so sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I'm not licensed to give any medical advice. I have to refer you to your primary medical doctor. Perhaps there is a cream or different medication you could try. I hope it gets better :) Much love, - Caroline
Hi there!! Hehe I love your videos! 😍 could you make a video about ❤️ the heart cycle, cardiac output, lead placement and the conduction system of the heart?
Love it ! Here's a good quote I found ! "Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm" you my friend are NEVER losing enthusiasm! Here's to your success!
Thank you for this video it will definitely help me in my Pharmacology class. "If at first you don't succeed, try again." I would love to win the card for some caffeinated diuretics.:)

Also what are we worried about occurring if a patient has severe pain in the upper gastric area spreading to the back?? Discussed at 8:26

could be a good clip BUT you cannot hear it very well due to LOUD background music...why?????
Hi Caroline. So I have a question not sure if it sound sill but, is Lasix considered a kind of laxative (in one way or another).
Also I love watching your pharmacology videos pls make more of them. Thank you :)

Thanks so much for letting me know you like the videos... it means so much!!

Which hospital do you go to find nurses like her?
I really appreciate all the effort you put in your videos! It really makes you stand out! Keep up the good work!! 👌👌👌👌

what happens if you give IV Furosemide to a patient with Renal Failure? pls i need an answer. thanks
+Vj Chiu
This is a great question. In some cases the risk (in pt.s with pulmonary edema & acute respiratory distress); may outweigh the benefits.... in these situations, we work closely with the medical team of MDs/NPs/PAs and make the best decision based on the clinical. However, if it is a routine scheduled medication & the patient is not in respiratory distress. However, if the BUN & creatinine have become elevated since the medication has been administered, I would call the doctor and see if the medication is still necessary OR ask if the route IV/PO or Dose could be changed. I hope this helps!! xoxo! - Caroline
+EmpoweRN is it possible that there would be an increase fluid retention and edema in the body because as the furosemide's action is to absorb fluids from cells and kidneys are not able to excrete it out? thank you for your time. i'm really confuse..
If after using lasix does not the remove the fluid from the lungs what will be the next step.
If I take water pills only one time is it harmful if not how many pills should I take
Thank you for all your useful videos ☺
