These videos are incredible. I recently switched from ED to CVICU and I’m very overwhelmed. These are good to supplement learning from work.

[tfroadrunner]

I'm recently retired, but forwarding some of your videos to my daughter in law who is just starting in ICU, from mother/baby. Your presentation is always awesome.

[anandrahangdale]

I’m a resident at a small ICU setup, i found these icu advantage videos really very informative. Thankyou

[Thomas-vqox]

I floated today to the ED to help with boarded patients and had my first Levophed drip. This is awesome to reflect on my day as I am by no means a critical care trained RN. Thank you for explaining it to me so well, it helps me decompress and digest what just happened!

[kikomagana]

You are really getting me and the school wife ready for the ICU. Thank you for these! Picked up two stickers.

[paigetaylor]

Thank you so much! I just started as a new grad in the ICU and your videos are incredibly helpful.

[cshaw_]

I’m loving these videos!! Trying to understand these medications even further is proving helpful when preparing for CRNA school

[YiiTheIceLatte]

Appreciate much for these videos, help a lot on gaining good knowledge, I requested to change to ICU/HDU after working for a while in Med-Surg ward. I hope I can get in, as I m interested in taking care critically ill patients and wish to take quick actions in emergency situations and saving lives. ❤

I’m a CNA and saw this being given via intraosseous access, thanks for the lesson !

[sabrinabetancourt]

I might be starting my ICU nurse residency program next month and this channel was recommended to me to help prepare. I’ve learned a lot so far. Thank you so much the content! I’ll def be spreading the word to other new grads looking into critical care :-)

[chaikristinjournals]

Haven’t watched the video yet but my first thought was ahh yes levo, one of the main differences between us in critical care and the floor. We can just slap on a levo for a patient and even call the pharmacy for emergency levo even without an order but on the floor it’s always a big thing with a rapid response, transferring to the unit, etc

[drsohailzahir]

Great job... much appreciated... keep it up... ❤❤❤
