These are great videos. I've been a nurse for 11 years and plan to sit for my CARN exam this summer. Your videos are perfect! Can't believe these are free. Thank you!

[nicolesierra]

You know what I love about your videos ? I love that their short . It’s very informative but digestible . It’s hard for me Pay attention to a long video I get bored fast but you keep me locked in

[ritzi]

Tip for ATI users, they suggest administering amphetamines during or after meals, instead of before

[karlinecharles]

Great way to remember the Alcohol Abuse /Maintenance Meds is DO NO ALCOHOL, D-for Disulfiram N-for Naltrexone and A-for Acamprosate

[msbutterflyify]

I'm about to take my local licensure exam this coming november. Your videos really help me, thank you so much ma'am cathy.

[suziez]

These are great videos, short but very informative! Thank you so much for making and uploading them!!

[veronicaramos]

Hi Cathy! A helpful tip I use for Disulfiram is: "A patient will feel like they are dying, if they drink alcohol while taking Disulfiram due to the very unpleasant reaction that occurs"

[getebekele]

Thank you so much your very helpful !!!❤️

[LovepreetKaur-wlyt]

I love your videos they are short but very effective . Thankyou for helping lot of students . I just passed my nclex pn next rn on the list

[MyVale]

Thanks for your awesome videos!!!! My mnemonic trick for maintenance medication for alcohol abuse is : DNA ..D= Dsisulfuram, N= Naltrexone, A= Acamprosate...just a little way that helps me remember

[derpnerpwerp]

Am I the only one who finds it a bit strange that we treat substance abuse by just giving people similar drugs to what they were already taking? I mean I think its strange because we act like they are totally different things.. "oh your addicted to heroin? No heroin's bad, we'll put you on methadone instead".. seems like there should be a search for drugs which work to reverse the neurological adaptations that have occurred from prolonged substance use, rather than just giving patients drugs which reinforce these changes.

Treatment for addiction to opioid agonist: opioid agonist, treatment for addiction to nicotine agonist: nicotine agonist, treatment for alcohol addiction: GABA agonist

[itsalleah]

why would you give beta blockers for ETOH withdrawal? Wouldn't their BP be low already?

[cleopatrawilliams]

Dont Njoy Alcohol! (Disulfiram, Naltrexone, Acamprosate) Use Nurse Cathy's tip to remember Acamprosate, and the following for the others MOAs: You will DIe (from how bad you feel) if you drink alcohol while taking Disulfiram, Just say "Na" to alcohol while on Naltrexone cause you wont have any cravings.

[Nugget_]

Acamprosate helps compensate. NAltrexone (NAh more cravings). Disulfiram = Deterant.
