I learned more in 15 minutes watching this video than I did in a 3 hour lecture! Please keep making these videos, you're literally getting me through nursing school! =)
Very awesome! I'm so happy I can help you out, Matt! I love helping you all out because I remember nursing school! Those 3 hour lectures are grueling! Thank you for watching my videos :)
@@RegisteredNurseRN They're especially grueling during this pandemic deal. Thank you so much for uploading this video 4 years ago, it's still helpful as ever!
I dream of becoming a nurse midwife, in shah Allah. Right now I can’t afford to go to nursing school, but at least I can learn from your videos, and test my comprehension via the quizzes on your website for FREE. Thank you so much for providing such wonderful resources to aspiring and current nursing students for free. May Allah bless you!
Nurse Sarah, you are God sent 🙏🏾 I watched all of your videos, and I am glad to say I am an RN today. I PASSEDDDDD!!!!! 😱😍thank you so much for giving all of your knowledge unselfishly. God bless you and family.
Wow, CONGRATULATIONS to you! I'm so happy for you! I'm honored my videos could help you prep for the exam. Thank you for coming back to let me know! I wish you the best in your new career.
I suffer from hyperthyroidism. The only think my doctor can do is prescribe me meds. I have had this disease for 6 years. I decided to do my own research and start treating it myself. thank you for this video!
so true. I agree with Matt Prokop, I learn this content in such short time, comparing to this dry 2 or 3 hour lectures. Girl, you are such an amazing teacher..
I always watch your video before I take the exam and now I'm a registered Nurse for 1year thank you so much for lectures that we can easily understand ❤️
I cant understand why our professors can not teach this way. Short simple to the point. I agree with the rest I learn more from you and it's not fair our school is getting paid..best be sure I am putting this in my end of the semester survey!
I have to say that I love your channel, all your videos and specially, the way you teach. Easy to understand and helpful. Consider to be a MSN if you’re not. You could be a great nursing teacher, you have the knowledge and the “gift”. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Blessings.
I wish I had started watching this at the beginning of my semester, learned a lot than sitting in class for hours. Thanks so much, you are a student saver!!
YOUR ENDOCRINE VIDEOS ARE SOO AMAZING AND HELPFUL!!! Short story: I didn't have enough time to study for my medsurg 2 HESI exam two months ago (which made me panic a little bit because it was a BIG portion of our final grade for the class). I didn't read any review books, or previous notes from my lectures, or class powerpoints from my professors, as I felt they were not as helpful and as thorough as I need them to be in order to study/review. With that being said, I was totally shocked when my screen said I got a 96/97% on my hesi. Considering I didn't do any special or comprehensive review besides watch your GI and endocrine series, that score was extremely surprising for me.I'd say I wouldn't have gotten that without your videos, so thank you so much! Just like what the other person commented below, I probably learned more and understood more from your 15-20-minute videos than I did from 3 hour-long lectures of my professor. Again, thank you!
Wow, that is so very awesome! Thanks for this comment. That is an amazing score to receive on HESI. It sounds like you absolutely aced it! I'm so glad my videos helped you prep. Thank you for watching them and for taking the time to come back and let me know they helped you. I really appreciate it!
excellent!!! thank you so much!! I feel like I don't even need to go to lecture, I watch your videos over and over again till everything sticks in my brain :)
These videos are nice and short and too the point. The information focuses on the need to know and not all the fluff you get in nursing school. I have 9 months until I graduate and I'm upset I didn't look at these videos sooner, I think they'll be very helpful moving into my next medsurg class!
Your videos are the absolute best! I’m a 4th semester student and wouldn’t make it without them! We are going over endocrine/neuro problems right now and I’ve noticed you don’t have any NEURO videos. It would be awesome if you created those! Neuro assessment/acute intracranial problems/stroke/chronic neuro problems/PNS-Spinal cord injuries!
Hello Jennifer, Thank you so much for watching the videos. It is so AWESOME to hear they are helping you. You're almost finished YaY!! Yes, I'm about to start a neuro series and will be covering various topics over the next month. So, stay tuned :) Thank you for the great video ideas!
My only problem with these videos is that I didn't find them sooner!! Prepping for Finals week of my first trimester. These are a HUGE help! Thank you!
Hello Heather :) Glad you found my videos, and they are helping you with your finals. I see you have watched a lot of my videos...I thank you for that and for your comments as well :) I hope you ace your finals!
Words are not enough to say how I really appreciate your videos . But THANK YOU from bottom of my heart☺️ May god bless you and everyone knows here, you deserve nothing but best 😁
I love watching these videos on the topics I’m learning in class before the lecture. You explain everything so well! The quizzes to go with the lectures are also super helpful. Thank you Sarah, keep it up!! 🙏🏻😊
Sara ur great ur helping a lot for free! God bless you and ur hubby! Thank u very much coz of ur videos I now have an edge of passing the NCLEX hope you will have your own book soon with everything on it that students could purchase or a video compilation such as PRocedures, Med-Surg, Psych, etc. that my kids could use someday! Hoping for the best for you both!!
You're so very kind :) I'm honored I could help you prep for the NCLEX. I hope you ace it. I may look into writing a book in the future..that would be very awesome for your kids to use it someday haha. I wish you the best :)
Thank you for your videos!! They're very informative and straight to the point. I really enjoy watching them. You touch base on all the important points and it really helps reviewing for exams! :)
Thankyou Sarah, for making this awesome videos to help many of us to get understand the whole topic clearly... god blessed you I’m using your ALL videos as my study guide.. 👍👍👍👌
Thank you so much, Sharna :) Very awesome I can help you out all the way in Australia! Thank you for watching my videos and for taking the time to leave this comment. Also, THANK YOU for being a subscriber to my channel ;-)
Thank you so much for spending time to make these videos, provide quizzes and post all your lecture notes. I have purchased more resource books than the books actually required for class because of the difficulty to break them down. With your videos, I love that I'm able to stop and go back if i missed something or didn't quite understand it the first time. You can't do that in a classroom and your peers get annoyed when you ask questions. All your notes and videos are in great detail and really help me understand the processes. You'd make an excellent NP if you ever thought about moving forward, you really know your material on point. You don't know how helpful and appreciated you are!! Again, thank you so much!
Hello Shelly :) Thank you very much for taking the time to write me this very kind comment. It really means a lot to me that my videos, quizzes, and lectures notes are helping you. You sound like me when I was in nursing school....I had almost as many study resource books as I did textbooks lol. Why don't they just make the textbooks easier to understand haha. I wish you the best in nursing school, and again thank you for the awesome comment.
Thank you, Sarah, for making these videos. I have been watching your videos since my first semester of nursing school. Your endo videos are the only thing that saved me in GIGU. I would write your mnemonics on my test booklet. I am using your videos now in cardio and your EKG videos are a lifesaver! You make the material easier to understand, and I write down your notes from your webpage or as I am watching your videos. Love taking your free quizzes afterwards. Always telling my classmates to watch your videos and subscribe to your channel. Please keep your amazing videos coming - they are saving some of us drowning nursing students!!
Thank you so much for the super awesome comment, Juliet! You have no idea how much it really means to me to hear that these videos are helping students.

Best wishes in your nursing journey, and thank you for taking me along with you.
Thank you so much for all of your wonderful videos. They have helped me so much throughout nursing school. You are a bit of a celebrity among my classmates and I. Once again, thank you!

I have hyperthyroidism and it causes hunger but never weightloss for me. My endocrinologist said that the thyroid is only responsible for about 5% of weight increase/decreases... so when I gained 40lbs he thought I was going hypo but I still remained hyper lol. I will say it does affect how I metabolize food. Frequent bowel movements 3-4 a day. Also when it's out of whack and my t3 is high, I experience anxiety, panic attacks, hot flashes, GI issues (vomiting and diarrhea), heart pain (use to be palpitations), thinning coarse hair, excessive thirst, insomnia, mood swings, I also get dizzy. Anyways, I say this not for TMI but to let anyone else know if you are experiencing these symptoms to ask for all 3 tests and get them done every few months until you have some data. I went undiagnosed for 9 months I thought I was going crazy until finally one of the tests showed up below "standard". Everyone is different. Thank you for educating people through your channel. I will try to avoid some of the foods mentioned and see if that helps my current symptoms. One thing I have noticed is a common trait among other suffers is iron and vitamin d deficiency. Not sure how that plays a role but I have to supplement those.
Well, your endocrinologist is wrong. I have hyperthyroidism too and before I found out about it I'd been eating more than 10 000 calories a day. Insane amount of food, yet I kept on losing weight. There's nothing stronger than the thyroid when it comes to metabolic rate regulation. In your case I can see why you gained 40lbs. Since you visit an endocrinologist, naturally you've probably started madications too which means you have your thyroid under control. Once T3+T4 have been tamed you can gain as much weight as any other person.
nvmffs everyone is different. I was not on medication nor had I ever been when I gained 40lbs. I've been seeing him 5 years and because my labs are up and down he didn't give me anything until earlier this year after the weight gain. My overall tsh was still low but because my t3 dipped he thought I was going hypo finally and gave me medication which exacerbated my symptoms. What you may experience can be different from someone else. Just look at other comments. It seems to affect ppl different. Good luck.
Missa McFadden Would what you attribute this difference to then? It just makes no sense. Thyroid hormones act the same in any human being. The only possible explanation is that you and other people in this comment section have been misdiagnosed. Either this or your hyperfunction is really mild/inconsistent (since you mentioned your labs were up and down)
I've definitely not been misdiagnosed lol. For me specifically it's complex. I have thyroid antibodies and then they disappear. I have low iodine uptake which indicates inflammation and/or thyroiditis. I also have multiple nodules that vary in the amount of thyroid hormone they produce but can fluctuate from abnormal to normal. I experience mostly hyperthyroid symptoms but also hypo. However, again I've always ranged on the hyper side. I would be careful not to pigeonhole anyone person or disease.
Missa McFadden I see. I'm not the type to pigeonhole. I just didn't have enough information about your case. Now it all makes sense. I was right to presume your hormone production was inconsistent. That's the only way to experience hypothyroid symptoms too. Anyways, I hope you get better soon. Life with untreated thyroiditis can be really stressful. I don't know about you but the thing that annoys me the most about this disease isn't any of the countless physiological discomforts it causes. It's that it made my memory really fuzzy. I couldn't remember anything with details. Felt like life was just passing me by at lightning speed and I was unable to enjoy a moment anymore.
Your videos are a lifesaver!! In preparing for my medsurg final this coming week these are great for review, and clarification on concepts that I've had a hard time understanding up until this point. Thank you so much!!
Thank you for the awesome comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to write it. I'm glad you liked the video :) Also, I want to give you a BIG THANK YOU for sharing it with your classmates!
Great! Thank you so much for your video. I was wondering if you could make a video about Graves' disease and nursing intervention for patients with this disease. Thanks a lot! 👍
You're very welcome :) I actually already have a video on Grave's Disease here: ruclips.net/video/d343HuUbqQI/видео.html I cover the disease and the nursing interventions. I hope that helps!
Thank you for the knowledge you've shared nurse... Because my mother have HYPERTHYROID.. but i just wanna know if what are the food to eat and not to eat for this case.... Please help me with it....
Definitely gonna watch your videos to prep for my last nursing class final and gonna watch them for sure when I prep for my NCLEX coming up soon. Thank you for posting!
Thank you so much for using my videos to help you study for your final and NCLEX. I'm honored :) I wish you the best on your exams! Again, thank you for the comment!
this is so great, thank you so much for all your videos, i am preparing for my final exams and this is really helping me understand, you are really good you make things easier thanks......
You're most welcome :) I'm so happy I can help you prep for your final exams! Thank you for using my videos to help you, and I wish you the best on your exams :)
I enjoy your videos. This one in particular because I was watching the Discovery Life channel about a pt who went on a three week juice cleanse that contained seaweed. He didn't eat anything except drinking his juice. However, his bp drop down to 70/30, he was disoriented, and heading into a coma. After, the doctor receive his CBC he realized that his thyroid wasn't producing the hormone. The patient took in too much iodine from the seaweed.
Ah, very interest, Scottie! Thank you so much for sharing this. I love watching the Discovery Life channel...they always have the most interesting things on there. I don't think I could have stomached drinking seaweed juice...sounds yucky lol. I like my meat and vegetables. Again, thanks for the comment and for taking the time to watch the video!
Thank you for the video I am suffering from Severe Hyperthyroid for the 2nd time after 6years and there is a significant difference between the 1st time I had this and now...I just could not sleep last time and this time around I do sleep like a log and this time my Vitamins B12 & D Haemoglobin and Iron are all pretty bad have some other issues as well this time but just curious how come i am sleeping so well this time and my Endocrinologist advised that after I get back to normalcy we should look for a long term solution as my body may not be able to bear a 3rd attack Thanks again for the video
Aww, thank you so much! That means a lot to me! Thank you for taking the time to watch the videos, and also thanks for subscribing :)....much appreciated!
RegisteredNurseRN you're videos are big help in my self review hoping to pass my NLE this year..thank you i found your nursing lectures in youtube😊god bless you registeredNurseRN
Hi again Neda! Thanks for watching both of my thyroid videos. Also, thank you for keeping up with my videos and for your encouraging feedback....I appreciate it very much. I'm happy to know you monitor my channel for new videos....very awesome!
I have episodes of extreme anxiety, dizziness, sweating and increased heart rate if I eat a meal in the afternoon. It never happens after I eat breakfast or after dinner. Only in the afternoon. Are these symptoms explainable?
My doctor suspected of hypertyroids because my eyes are big but I tested Tsh, free T3 and free T4 level and they all normal. Should I check with ultrasound too?
I have severe hyperthyroidism but I have gained weight not horribly but nevertheless I have and I see my endocrinologist in Nov, however, I have LOT'S of the other signs! Why have I gained VS lost? Just curious! Tfs
I gained too. Really take a good look at your diet. With how fast I process food; sugar, wheat and dairy seem to make me gain weight like crazy. Also, stay active. I went from going to the gym 5-6 days a week to a few times here and there. Which also contributed to a 40lbs increase in 4 months even though I'm technically hyperthyroid.
In some case, hyperthyroidism also affects your water upkeep in your body by promoting the hyaluronic acid formation which we call ''myxedema''. Hyaluronic acid attracts alot of water thas why you can gain weight instead of losing.
I have a problem with my thyroid, I’m gaining weight my hair is thinning and very brittle, constipation, I’m extremely tired but I also get overheated quickly, diarrhea, sometimes I can’t sleep at all and my heart rate is very fast. So I don’t know what’s going on
I was constantly hungry , I relized I had a problem when I got drunk one night and puked and my food wasn't freaking chewed ewww I know but I would woof down food pretty much stayed the same weight
what about in a case of low tsh but t3 and t4 are normal? I'm actually going through this now. I feel awful at times and they won't put me on medicine because my t3 and t4 are fine. I have no tumors, no nodules, nothing. I've heard in these cases it's just subclinical hyperthyroidism and that it may event turn to full blown hyperthyroidism but confused cause I don't know why my body is acting crazy.
Thanks for watching my video :) I'm not totally sure, but the thyroid can be a pesky little gland sometimes. I would keep an eye on it and have your doctors keep monitoring it. If you start having significant signs and symptoms I would bring it to their attention. I hope they can figure it out :)
TSH is the best indicator overall. Follow up with a good Endocrinologist who listens and explain all of your symptoms to him. My primary didn't understand so it's important to go to a specialist. Also, researching diets for thyroidistis can help. Good luck! I've had it for 5 years and it took a very long time, 9 docs, and even switching clinics to figure out that I had it.
Hello. Thanks for responding!,I went to the endo and my tsh has dropped even lower but now my t3 and t4 have dropped which is a rare case. So my tsh indicates hyper, but my t levels indicate hypo. So my endo put me on levothyroxine and I started feeling soo bad I quit taking it. I go back next week, hopefully they figure it out, I'm so depressed and my hormones are really out of whack.
missb19822010 I got your message but don't see it here. My tsh is low and my t3 dropped low as well... they put me on liothyronine thinking I was going hypo and I felt great until it started to exacerbate my problems and my t3 went high again. Just know that you are not alone and you will figure this out. It is scary but you are strong and will get through it. Educate yourself and your family. Document it all and keep a journal. This will help. Hyperthyroidism seems like it is harder to treat because our levels can bounce around. I am off all meds now and feel better but still dealing with symptoms. So addressing my depression I know I need talk therapy, exercise, vitamin d and iron (my levels are low), a good diet and a support system that understands.

Thank you again, Mehria :) I appreciate your positive feedback on my videos. It really means a lot to me!
I have hyperthyroidism and it causes hunger but never weightloss for me. My endocrinologist said that the thyroid is only responsible for about 5% of weight increase/decreases... so when I gained 40lbs he thought I was going hypo but I still remained hyper lol. I will say it does affect how I metabolize food. Frequent bowel movements 3-4 a day. Also when it's out of whack and my t3 is high, I experience anxiety, panic attacks, hot flashes, GI issues (vomiting and diarrhea), heart pain (use to be palpitations), thinning coarse hair, excessive thirst, insomnia, mood swings, I also get dizzy. Anyways, I say this not for TMI but to let anyone else know if you are experiencing these symptoms to ask for all 3 tests and get them done every few months until you have some data. I went undiagnosed for 9 months I thought I was going crazy until finally one of the tests showed up below "standard". Everyone is different. Thank you for educating people through your channel. I will try to avoid some of the foods mentioned and see if that helps my current symptoms. One thing I have noticed is a common trait among other suffers is iron and vitamin d deficiency. Not sure how that plays a role but I have to supplement those.
Well, your endocrinologist is wrong. I have hyperthyroidism too and before I found out about it I'd been eating more than 10 000 calories a day. Insane amount of food, yet I kept on losing weight. There's nothing stronger than the thyroid when it comes to metabolic rate regulation.
In your case I can see why you gained 40lbs. Since you visit an endocrinologist, naturally you've probably started madications too which means you have your thyroid under control. Once T3+T4 have been tamed you can gain as much weight as any other person.
nvmffs everyone is different. I was not on medication nor had I ever been when I gained 40lbs. I've been seeing him 5 years and because my labs are up and down he didn't give me anything until earlier this year after the weight gain. My overall tsh was still low but because my t3 dipped he thought I was going hypo finally and gave me medication which exacerbated my symptoms. What you may experience can be different from someone else. Just look at other comments. It seems to affect ppl different. Good luck.
Missa McFadden Would what you attribute this difference to then? It just makes no sense. Thyroid hormones act the same in any human being. The only possible explanation is that you and other people in this comment section have been misdiagnosed. Either this or your hyperfunction is really mild/inconsistent (since you mentioned your labs were up and down)
I've definitely not been misdiagnosed lol. For me specifically it's complex. I have thyroid antibodies and then they disappear. I have low iodine uptake which indicates inflammation and/or thyroiditis. I also have multiple nodules that vary in the amount of thyroid hormone they produce but can fluctuate from abnormal to normal. I experience mostly hyperthyroid symptoms but also hypo. However, again I've always ranged on the hyper side. I would be careful not to pigeonhole anyone person or disease.
Missa McFadden I see. I'm not the type to pigeonhole. I just didn't have enough information about your case. Now it all makes sense. I was right to presume your hormone production was inconsistent. That's the only way to experience hypothyroid symptoms too.
Anyways, I hope you get better soon. Life with untreated thyroiditis can be really stressful. I don't know about you but the thing that annoys me the most about this disease isn't any of the countless physiological discomforts it causes. It's that it made my memory really fuzzy. I couldn't remember anything with details. Felt like life was just passing me by at lightning speed and I was unable to enjoy a moment anymore.

Thank for your video, it’s explained to me understand how about hyperthyroidism. Thank for your answer 🐻!
Love your videos! So helpful!
I enjoy your videos. This one in particular because I was watching the Discovery Life channel about a pt who went on a three week juice cleanse that contained seaweed. He didn't eat anything except drinking his juice. However, his bp drop down to 70/30, he was disoriented, and heading into a coma. After, the doctor receive his CBC he realized that his thyroid wasn't producing the hormone. The patient took in too much iodine from the seaweed.
Ah, very interest, Scottie! Thank you so much for sharing this. I love watching the Discovery Life channel...they always have the most interesting things on there. I don't think I could have stomached drinking seaweed juice...sounds yucky lol. I like my meat and vegetables. Again, thanks for the comment and for taking the time to watch the video!

excellent overview, as always!
Thank you for the video I am suffering from Severe Hyperthyroid for the 2nd time after 6years and there is a significant difference between the 1st time I had this and now...I just could not sleep last time and this time around I do sleep like a log and this time my Vitamins B12 & D Haemoglobin and Iron are all pretty bad have some other issues as well this time but just curious how come i am sleeping so well this time and my Endocrinologist advised that after I get back to normalcy we should look for a long term solution as my body may not be able to bear a 3rd attack
Thanks again for the video

Hi Sarah, Can you make a video focusing specifically on hip fractures?
Thanks! Love your videos!
What is the THS count if a person has a hyperthyroidism?
I have episodes of extreme anxiety, dizziness, sweating and increased heart rate if I eat a meal in the afternoon. It never happens after I eat breakfast or after dinner. Only in the afternoon. Are these symptoms explainable?
My doctor suspected of hypertyroids because my eyes are big but I tested Tsh, free T3 and free T4 level and they all normal. Should I check with ultrasound too?
I have severe hyperthyroidism but I have gained weight not horribly but nevertheless I have and I see my endocrinologist in Nov, however, I have LOT'S of the other signs! Why have I gained VS lost? Just curious! Tfs
I gained too. Really take a good look at your diet. With how fast I process food; sugar, wheat and dairy seem to make me gain weight like crazy. Also, stay active. I went from going to the gym 5-6 days a week to a few times here and there. Which also contributed to a 40lbs increase in 4 months even though I'm technically hyperthyroid.
Bobbie Tarr Me too. The one symptom I actually wanted from this disease I get the opposite. Ugh.
You should ask your endocrinologist and tell us....
In some case, hyperthyroidism also affects your water upkeep in your body by promoting the hyaluronic acid formation which we call ''myxedema''. Hyaluronic acid attracts alot of water thas why you can gain weight instead of losing.
interesting
Excellent.. Thank you
Thank you so much for the kind words :) It really means a lot to me that my videos are helping you! I'm honored to help!
I have a problem with my thyroid, I’m gaining weight my hair is thinning and very brittle, constipation, I’m extremely tired but I also get overheated quickly, diarrhea, sometimes I can’t sleep at all and my heart rate is very fast. So I don’t know what’s going on
Sounds like me!
Did you get a diagnosis?

what about in a case of low tsh but t3 and t4 are normal? I'm actually going through this now. I feel awful at times and they won't put me on medicine because my t3 and t4 are fine. I have no tumors, no nodules, nothing. I've heard in these cases it's just subclinical hyperthyroidism and that it may event turn to full blown hyperthyroidism but confused cause I don't know why my body is acting crazy.
Thanks for watching my video :) I'm not totally sure, but the thyroid can be a pesky little gland sometimes. I would keep an eye on it and have your doctors keep monitoring it. If you start having significant signs and symptoms I would bring it to their attention. I hope they can figure it out :)
TSH is the best indicator overall. Follow up with a good Endocrinologist who listens and explain all of your symptoms to him. My primary didn't understand so it's important to go to a specialist. Also, researching diets for thyroidistis can help. Good luck! I've had it for 5 years and it took a very long time, 9 docs, and even switching clinics to figure out that I had it.
Hello. Thanks for responding!,I went to the endo and my tsh has dropped even lower but now my t3 and t4 have dropped which is a rare case. So my tsh indicates hyper, but my t levels indicate hypo. So my endo put me on levothyroxine and I started feeling soo bad I quit taking it. I go back next week, hopefully they figure it out, I'm so depressed and my hormones are really out of whack.
missb19822010 I got your message but don't see it here. My tsh is low and my t3 dropped low as well... they put me on liothyronine thinking I was going hypo and I felt great until it started to exacerbate my problems and my t3 went high again. Just know that you are not alone and you will figure this out. It is scary but you are strong and will get through it. Educate yourself and your family. Document it all and keep a journal. This will help. Hyperthyroidism seems like it is harder to treat because our levels can bounce around. I am off all meds now and feel better but still dealing with symptoms. So addressing my depression I know I need talk therapy, exercise, vitamin d and iron (my levels are low), a good diet and a support system that understands.
Maintain good levels of vitamin D since your T3 and T4 levels are normal. Vitamin D really improves the TSH levels.
