VERY IMPORTANT post for a lot of you to see. ‼️ On this day 4 years ago I graduated from my little CNA class. I hadn’t taken the official State test to become certified yet nor had I even applied to Nursing School yet.
That was only a short 4 years ago... Now I am a Critical Care RN working in a Cardiothoracic Surgical ICU caring for and recovering fresh post-op open heart patients directly from the OR.
On a daily basis I am titrating sedation, vasoactive medications, weaning patients off of the ventilator and getting them prepared for extubation, transfusing blood products, drawing labs, recognizing acute changes in my patient’s and intervening appropriately, etc.
I say all of that to say this:
On this day 4 years ago, this guy right here barely knew how to check a manual blood pressure.
So for all of you out there staring at that fucking MOUNTAIN standing between you and your dreams, and possibly thinking “How in the hell am I ever going to get there?” Just know that it is % possible. ❤️
How bad do you want it?

Happy #MEDICALMONDAY everyone! Today’s topic is chronic venous insufficiency. Did you know..
1. The veins in your legs carry blood back to your heart. They have one-way valves that keep blood from flowing backward. If you have chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), the valves don’t work like they should and some of the blood may go back down into your legs. That causes blood to pool or collect in the veins.
2. Over time, CVI can cause pain, swelling, and skin changes in your legs. It may also lead to open sores called ulcers on your legs.
3. A blood clot in a deep vein in your leg (called deep vein thrombosis) can damage a valve. If you don’t exercise, that can cause CVI, too. So can sitting or standing for long stretches of time. That raises pressure in your veins and may weaken the valve.
4. Women are more likely than men to get CVI. Your chances also might be higher if you are obese, over age 50, pregnant or have been pregnant more than once, family with a history of CVI or blood clots, or a smoker.
5. Symptoms include swelling or heaviness, especially in the lower leg and ankle, pain, itchiness, varicose veins, and skin that looks like leather.
6. The main goal is to stop swelling and prevent leg ulcers. Your doctor may suggest a combination of treatments based on your age, symptoms, and other things. Some options to help manage CVI include: lifestyle changes, compression socks, movement and working out. Try not to sit or stand for a long time. If you have to sit for a while, stretch or wiggle your legs, feet, and ankles often to help your blood flow. If you stand a lot, take breaks to sit and put your feet up. This helps lower pressure in your leg veins. Exercise. Working out your body helps pump your blood, too. Walking is a good, simple way to make your legs stronger and boost blood flow.
Hope everyone has an amazing week ahead of them! #sponsored by @cherokeeuniforms with my amazing boo @averyywoods

Happy #MEDICALMONDAY everyone! Today’s topic is about albumin. Did you know...
1. Serum albumin is the main protein of human blood plasma. It binds water, cations (such as Ca2+, Na+ and K+), fatty acids, hormones, bilirubin, thyroxine (T4) and pharmaceuticals (including barbiturates): its main function is to regulate the oncotic pressure of blood.
2. A normal albumin range is 3.4 to 5.4 g/dL. If you have a lower albumin level, you may have malnutrition. It can also mean that you have liver disease like cirrhosis or an inflammatory disease.
3. Higher albumin levels may be caused by acute infections, burns, and stress from surgery or a heart attack.
4. Proteins circulate throughout your blood to help your body maintain fluid balance. ... You need a proper balance of albumin to keep fluid from leaking out of blood vessels. Albumin gives your body the proteins it needs to keep growing and repairing tissue.
5. Albumin is giving to patients for multiple reasons. It helps to draw fluid from the body into the blood vessels. This is especially useful in treating shock (when blood can't carry enough oxygen to tissues in the body) due to various causes, including serious injury, bleeding, surgery, or severe burns. Albumin can also replace low blood protein. So it is given as a fluid expander, bringing blood pressure up.
I hope you guys have an amazing week ahead! It’s finals week for me, so wish me luck . Post #sponsored by @cherokeeuniforms wearing their fabulous Statement collection ❤️
