Hello Everyone :) Thank you for watching the video. Quiz links are below. I just want to clarify GTPAL so everyone understands: *Gravidity*: number of times the woman has been pregnant (THIS INCLUDES CURRENT PREGNANCY, MISCARRIAGES, ABORTIONS and *twins/triplets count as one). *Term Births*: number born (alive or stillborn) at 37 weeks gestation onward (*twins/triplets count as one) *Preterm births*: number born 20-37 weeks (alive or stillborn) (*twins/triplets counts as one) *Abortion*: pregnancy losses before 20 weeks (counts as a pregnancy…so would put in gravidity as well)** if baby died after 20 weeks it is added under preterm or term not abortion. *Living children*: number of children living (NOTE: twin/triplets counts individually) QUIZ: www.registerednursern.com/gtpal-nursing-practice-questions-quiz/ Notes: www.registerednursern.com/gtpal-maternity-nursing-nclex-review/ More Videos: ruclips.net/user/RegisteredNurseRNvideos Instagram: instagram.com/registerednursern_com/ Facebook: facebook.com/RegisteredNurseRNs Twitter: twitter.com/NursesRN
Hello :) Yes, it is, but I'm receiving a lot of messages about questions regarding how to count abortions, living children, preterm and post-term etc. I wanted to pin this to the top to hopefully help answer those questions because I can't respond to everyone due to the high volume of questions I receive, and I don't want people to be confused lol.
Hi Sarah! What if the patient is currently pregnant at 38 0r 39 Weeks? Is the pregnancy counted as full-term? Or does the pregnancy have to be delivered whether alive or stillbirth before it would be counted as term?
Hi Sarah! I just returned home from taking my OB Exam (and like clockwork with every exam, I reviewed with you leading up to it and just prior). I know I had atleast 5 questions re GTPAL/TPAL/GP, that .....had I not reviewed your video, I would have got wrong. That would have been a 90 right there. In short, thank you for taking the time to extend your nursing knowledge and gift of teaching to so many of us. You have been a blessing to my nursing education over the past two years and I am truly thankful for your channel. You are a wonderful resource and well- almost a part of my family! My 12 year old comes home from school and walks pass my office and says Hi Sarah! lol. In closing, you are a blessing to many lives, nurses and patients alike. Thank you again. You are amazing and very much appreciated! I dont know where I would be without you and Armando Hasudungan! :)
Hello Crystal :) I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this very amazing comment. Comments like yours REALLY mean so much to me and let me know that my videos are helping people study. I'm so glad that you got those questions right on your OB exam. I can remember those same type of questions myself when I took OB....so I knew you all would encounter them as well. I'm very honored to be part of your family lol...tell your family I said HELLO :) Thank you for allowing my RUclips channel to help you along your nursing journey. I wish you the best and remember I'll be here for NCLEX (the last stop before you're finally a nurse). Again, thank you for the awesome comment :)
I wish you were professor at my school!! I think i would pass all my classes with A's rather than getting the exact points needed to pass the class.. you're great!
Oh my gosh!! I really can't believe this. I just got my scores right now, as soon as I have finished this video I immediately click the link to take the quiz. And guess what? I didn't expect that I will get a perfect score!! To be honest, during this pandemic it is really hard to study at all, that's why I wanna take this opportunity to thank this beautiful nurse who continuously giving information and educate us about nursing thing. Thanks a lot! You save many nursing students who suffers a lot in studying haha. :) And to my fellow nursing students, we'll gonna make it! Be strong! Have faith. Believe in yourself. Keep rooting ya'll. God bless everyone! Keepsafe😇
Thank you so much for your FREE content. I know most of my nursing class has taken full advantage of your website. If I don't understand something in class, I don't sweat it because you have probably made a whole video about it. :)
Thank you for the awesome comment, Kate :) I very much appreciate it! That is so totally AWESOME you and your nursing class are using my videos and website. I remember how it was to be a student...no money and lots of studying lol. So, I wanted to try to make things a little bit easier on you all. Thank you for the support of my channel and website :)
Hi Sarah, I just want to thank you for creating this channel. The way that you illustrate concepts is clear, concise, and an incredible resource I have used throughout all of nursing school. I have a fantastic foundation which in large part is because of your videos. Thanks again!
thanks for the clarification of multiples! i've heard different answers from many different resources....and i wasn't aware of a 20wk miscarriage also counting as a preterm birth.....thanks!
Hello :) Thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video and for leaving this comment. I really appreciate it :) It is so awesome to have a view from India....the Internet is awesome!
Sarah thank you so much for this video and your explanation is easy to understand plus the examples on your website. I appreciate your time and effort. GOD bless you.
Okay so I'm doing my prerequisites for my BSN, it's my first year of college and I'm currently watching your playlist of the NCLEX review and I am clueless but I'm slowly learning. The reason I'm watching the playlist is because I heard this exam is very hard according to people on youtube and I want to know everything by the time I have the NCLEX exam which is in about 4 years. I will be watching at least 2 videos a day! Is it bad that I don't know much? Or you will know all this after you graduate? Why aren't you a CRNA you know so much !!!! I am glad you make videos!
Hello Jason :) It is very awesome you are already studying and exposing yourself to nursing material...every bit helps. When I was in the same position as you, prior to nursing school, this NCLEX stuff sounded like a foreign language. I remember thinking "is this stuff ever going to make sense?"....well it didn't make sense until I started nursing school, and then sometimes I was still lost haha. However, towards your senior year of nursing school it starts to come together as you apply the theory you learned from lecture into clinicals, but you just know enough to pass NCLEX (the basics about nursing). Then when you become a nurse you will feel lost again, but over time when you gain experience everything FINALLY makes sense. So, don't be too hard on yourself if you don't understand the material because it takes years to understand along with "real world" experience. I hope that helps! Again, thank you for watching my videos. I hope my channel can help you through your nursing journey! I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hi Sarah! Thank you very much for your video!! it is so helpful for me. I can tell you that i'm a chilean RN, and here in my country there's a weird "separation" between RN and "maternity nurses". There are 2 different careers for that, so at the university i've never studied Maternity nursing, just the basic knowledge (cuz "that's for Maternity nurses, not for us", my teachers told...). In my opinion, this is so stupid haha (and there's even a rivality between them haha incredible!) but whatever... So, like i said, your videos are so helpful for me to "fill this hole", and you're so clear to explain everything! i think you're an amazing teacher! :)
Hello :) Thank you for sharing this....that is very interesting how it is treated as two different careers. I thought maternity nursing was very interested, and I enjoyed learning about it in school...may be because I'm a mom and I think the whole birthing process is very interesting...so I was glad they included it in the program! I'm glad you like my videos, and thank you for your kind words, especially coming from a fellow RN.
So glad you read my comment! :) by the way, would you someday make a video about cholecystitis and lap-choleys?? its such a common surgery in the service where i work and it would be nice to hear from you about it. Thank you!! P.D.: Sorry if my english is not perfect! my native language is spanish :)
Absolutely :) I'm actually covering GI disorders right now and will be covering gall bladder problems very soon. Here is the playlist where the video will be once I get it uploaded: ruclips.net/p/PLQrdx7rRsKfVVQ5TeRY7Vy1Tq3pcGTDFO So, stay tuned :) P.S. Your English is perfect! I could understand everything you wrote perfectly! I wish I was bilingual!
so for the term birth you said you would count 37 weeks and on. Then for preterm wouldn't that be 20-36 weeks? Because if the baby was 37 weeks I want to know if I count that as term or preterm. thanks!
Hello Miranda :) I hope the semester is going great for you. Yes, if the baby is 37 weeks or more it is considered term. If the baby was born BEFORE 37 weeks (20-36 weeks) it would be classified as pre-term. Many people get this confused because they recently changed the definition by dividing "term" into early-term, term, full-term, late-term, and post-term. For instances, "early term" are babies born at 37-38 weeks. Full term are babies born 39-40 weeks, and late-term are babies born at 41 weeks. All are considered term...not pre-term. You can read about it here from a reliable source: www.marchofdimes.org/pregnancy/what-is-full-term.aspx or here health.usnews.com/health-news/hospital-of-tomorrow/articles/2013/08/29/lowering-premature-birth-rates-by-offering-bonuses-imposing-penalties I hope that helps :)
First of all thank you so much for all your videos! This is a great gift to all nursing students! I would also like to ask about what do you use for your hair?
Hello :) Thank you so much for using my videos to study. I really appreciate it! I use: Pantene Pro-V Dream Care Smooth and Sleek shampoo and conditioner. It is the best hair product I've use so far. I hope that helps :)
Very awesome! I'm very much honored that you will be coming to my channel to help you prep for NCLEX, Pedro! Thank you so much for that and for taking the time to leave this comment. I hope you have a great winter break and a very Merry Christmas!
Thanks for watching the video! Please let me know what type of information you are wanting to know. I have many videos that provide information about NCLEX that may help answer your questions. You can access them here: ruclips.net/user/RegisteredNurseRNsearch?query=nclex+study
I suggest that you contact NCLEX directly by visiting their website...it has a lot of information that will help answer your questions. Here is the website: www.ncsbn.org/nclex.htm If you look at the left side of the site, you will see "application and registration" and that should help you figure out how to apply. Best wishes.
Can someone please let me know how you would factor in a confirmed ectopic pregnancy in this system? Thanks. I would count it with G & P and A. But I don't know that for sure. Thanks!!

If she has an abortion after 20 weeks, is it considered an abortion or preterm?
before 20 weeks....abortion
after 20 weeks......term or preterm
Abortion because Preterm birth is alive or still born.
Thank you!

Nice job
Your voice makes me homesick. lol.
Do you count the unborn child she's carrying as "living" in TPAL?
Great question! No, you don't. You will only count the child as "living" once it is born.
Thank you so so much :)
so do you count the abortions/miscarriages twice or just once with gravidity? someone help please :/
what area in the US do they speak in this accent. Its awesome lol
keep it up. :)
Thank you so much for making this video! :)
