Hello! Welcome to this channel. This channel was created for nursing students to hopefully break down some hard content into more manageable pieces. I try to teach the way that I learn and provide not just content but also strategies for success.
I work in the hospital full-time so this is not meant to be a "professional" channel but I will add to it as my schedule allows and am always open to suggestions for additions for the channel. My background is all ICU nursing, but I have taught in Adult Med/Surg so you will see a mix of this content predominantly.
I do tutoring on Varsity Tutoring if you're interested in more help.
I have a variety of lengths of videos but I have also created a TikTok for those that find shorter videos more helpful- my handle there is @woodruffnursingworld
If you have questions, wants access to worksheets or other resources, or would like any other help please do not hesitate to reach out. My contact is woodruffnursingworld@gmail.com

Hi can I ask for any manual or document which can help me more to understand servicing these pumls please.
Hi I don’t have those but they can probably be found on the manufacturer website if you Google it
I had a mini stroke about a month ago. I was not only affected on the left side of my body but also my right arm. My family Doctor has ordered an MRI to check that nothing was missed. I have fully recovered & hope never have to go through that horrible experience again.
Glad you’re in recovery ❤️🩹
The prints are not so clear..especially against the white background. But good content... preparing for my CNRN exam. thanks so much
Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback

Thank You
You’re welcome!
Prof. Woodruff. I have a question. What is the osmolality for patients with DKA. Is it also concentrated due to high level of glucose molecules wandering around the blood stream?
It can vary but usually these patients are dehydrated because glucose is leeching fluid from cell and they are peeing it out (body thinks they have too much fluid)- so their serum osmolality is high because they are in a way self diuresing because of the high sugar levels in the blood
@@mrs.woodruff Thanks so much, Prof. I have the final next week, and it's gonna be the last test ever in my nursing school life, so I'm watching your videos right now to reinforce my knowledge. Just want to let you now my classmates and I love your lecture a lot. So I hope you won't give up on what you are doing for nursing generations. I want to be an ICU nurse, so I will still definitely watch your videos over and over to maintain my knowledge base.
@@JOSEPH-ol5td that’s great to hear. I am always grateful to help and be here as I can. I don’t know where my future is but I’m sure some part will always have to do with education. Let me know how it goes.
I love you
Feeling is mutual!!!

@@pvp1589 I’ll see what I can put together when I have some time thanks for the suggestion
no worries@@mrs.woodruff thanks
hi howdy, im new to your channel and I enjoy watching and i learned from them. good job. I was looking for topics about PICC lines coz they came out in my ngn-nclex. i crashed and burned on this topics. thank you appreciate it
Thank you so much
You’re welcome!
In question 2 Why can’t we as a nurse give ondasteron ?
We definitely can give this medication- is there something in my video that said differently? I couldn’t find it.
Where does the blood sugar go after insulin administration if they are insulin resistant?
It stays in the blood which is why their blood sugar will be elevated
are your videos based off of ATI?
Hi! My videos are based off of Lewis med/surg textbook
Thank you so much for all the videos.❤❤❤
You’re welcome!
Underline the answer
Thanks for the suggestion
RNs in a realistic hospital setting, have very little time to do everything that is being said here. A focused assessment can be done indeed during the nurse's overall patient skin assessment. onve per shift. Half can be done while pt is supine. left and right of body and anterior aspect of the body is available for assessment, right away. Left and right ear, left and right trochanter areas are also readily available for inspection, left and right malleolus, including medial and lateral aspect. When the pt is turned the entire back, buttocks, ischial tuberosities, scalp and heels can be assessed. Don't forget to open the buttocks to look at the coccyx and creases in that area. With morbidly obese patients, lift every fold, looking for fungal or intertrigo. Always feel the dorsalis pedis pulse and while doing that, ask the patient if they have intact sensation to the feet. If pt with absent pulses, or weak pulses, that is telling of the additional risk for those patients likely have decreased circulation placing them at increased risk for pressure injuries. Pt's with absent or decreased protective sensation, this pt's are also at increased risk as they will not feel the normal pain sensation associated with sustainged, unrelieved pressure to the skin on the feet, all around, heels and ankle areas. 5 minutes and keen observation is what it takes to do a focused skin assessment in an acute care setting.
Thanks for sharing your experience. We start with in depth assessments in nursing school so students can learn the important principles and then as they move into practice they can get more into practicality.
I call drag and drop “select all that apply on steroids”. I hate them. But what can I do?!🤷🏽♀️
Yessss they are challenging- only positive is you should get partial credit for them 😅
Thank you for making this videos! We used the same book for our medsurg and this helps a lot.. thank you for breaking it down too!
That’s so great to hear glad my teaching style helps
very informative video thank you
Great to hear!
Thank you ma'am.❤❤❤
So very welcome!!!
This was so helpful!!..thank you so much for your EKG videos!..please keep creating more content!
Thanks so much! I sure do try! I’m not teaching anymore so I try to make things when I can while working full time. I started this channel just making a few lectures for students not thinking anyone but a couple students would watch - I definitely will try to add some content when I can ❤️
I just want you know that all of your videos and the materials in CZcams are very helpful , I have passed my NCLEX successfully on the first time. Thank you Thank you❤ for your help
Wonderful news! You did the hardest part ❤️ glad I could be a part of your journey
Can you send some practice problem strips please
Email me at woodruffnursingworld@gmail.com
see..id get seven wrong...., number 7: at work..in real life , because it happens; we rule out cardiac first: because i know the heartburn/chest pain IS expected with GERD , i WILL get the TUMS......BUT Myocardial infarction rule out , which is considered MUCH more serious than the expected GERD pain is my first focus,,, so im automatically gonna assess pain. before we grab the antacid.. shouldn't my first nursing action be to : dO a pain assessment to rule out textbook signs of MI ( what does the pain feel like, is it traveling down your arm/shoulder, does it feel like an elephant on your chest or sharp and stabbing or burning ) , grab some vital signs so i can document that i made my assessment on this chest pain to make sure my next intervention with the calcium carb was appropriate, JUST in case it really was an MI masked/mistaken for the "expected" chest pain from GERD. i hope that made made sense how i processed it. lol
Yeah it was hard for me too because I had years of experience working in a hospital and I was always thinking practically and real life versus perfect nursing school world. You always have to look at the answer choices provided (and I’ll tell you sometimes it’s frustrating because the answers your chose are NOT there 😅) and figure out “if I have all the resources and time in the world what action would be the best or most effective or most directly impact patients outcome” Nursing school is super tricky but they are more looking at your overall judgment and ability to assess for dangerous situations and what to do first versus practical thinking. Let me know how else I can help.
I love your videos! You broke everything down. This topic worried me so much. Thanks for making the arrhythmias simple!
It’s one of my favorite topics so glad it was helpful!
@@mrs.woodruffis there any way you can send some practice problems with the ekg that would be great 👍
@@jasonzhao9641 send me an email and I sure can
@@mrs.woodruff I sent you an email
@@mrs.woodruff did you get my email?
Thank you thank you I’m in nursing and we are on the disorders of the heart
The best topic ever!!! Enjoy every moment 😊
I would have picked the side lying first because the patient was vomiting and then the provider.
With their pain on McBurney’s point turning to RIGHT side would not be the best answer. You’re right that we do like to turn patients on their side when they are vomiting - but also keep in mind that’s mostly for patients that are unconscious or cannot protect their airway and in this situation left side would be more appropriate and if they aren’t unconscious the side lying position may not be necessary at all However bigger picture or focus here is that while turning to their side is important - when a question asks you what to do “first” it is not about logic it’s about priority- really it’s asking you “what action if I don’t do will kill the patient the quickest”- turning the patient to their side will not treat the problem and will delay definite treatment It’s annoying I know 😅 I wish it was more logical or practical answers to give you but nursing school exams are focused on safety and recognizing the most important interventions that are going to have the most important impact to patients outcomes.
