Meris, you are so wonderful to learn from. I have the subscription, but I didn't find anywhere to thank you for all your personal stories, for teaching like you're talking to us, and for just being great!

[@LevelUpRN]

You just made my whole entire day!!!! You have no clue how much that means to me :') --Meris

[@sitcomchristian6886]

My third child had very low scores initially, he needed resuscitation. It was a home birth too! But it wasn't frightening. My midwife acted quickly (she was very experienced and had delivered my second child at home too). First she held him face down, feet elevated, to drain fluid (he had meconium in the waters). Didn't work, so she "bagged" him once, which helped. Bagged him a second time, got a good cry! And he was back in my arms, still being monitored closely until his HR got to 160 bpm. She did all this right next to me, there was no panic. I'm very thankful for the good outcome, he is 10 months old and well.

[@hannahbatten483]

Thank you for providing excellent resources for the nursing community! Your videos are a key reason I passed my LPN boards.

[@LevelUpRN]

I'm so glad!😊

You are always the best ❤️ I was bored when I read about Ballard scale. But after watching you I find it interesting 👍 A piece of cake. BI am really thankfull.

[@LevelUpRN]

Wow, this made my day! Thank you so much! --Meris :)

[@janellelee28]

This was very helpful to me especially when my professor does not have the time to go in-depth about certain topics in during lecture.

[@satanasoo325]

Thank you, this really helps me a lot with my studies as you make it easy to understand♥️

[@LevelUpRN]

You are so welcome!

[@LevelUpRN]

So glad it was helpful! Please feel free to share a link to our channel with your classmates and friends in nursing school.

[@nicolenicole9197]

You, GOD & Nurse Sarah are single handedly getting me through RN school 😂

[@omabeautybar9769]

Meris, I’m enjoying the entire series alongside my OB/PEDS deck. Great job Meris ❤❤ please where can I get that pretty doll 🥰🥰

[@riyapaulson5354]

You explain it soooo welll keep making more

[@LevelUpRN]

Thank you!

[@gabbyStiner]

Omg I wish you made a video or uploaded a card to go with the APGAR score. I’ve been trying to get it but it’s soooo challenging. Maybe it’s the wording that changes

[@parveenkhan2924]

Good job , thumbs up 🖒

[@LevelUpRN]

Thank you!

[@mitchelljimeno3564]

praise Jesus! Thank you for these videos! Super helpful

[@LevelUpRN]

You are so welcome!

[@TheChaz81]

Off topic but what are the green glass pieces in the background? Is that antique uranium glass?

[@LevelUpRN]

Yes!!! I collect uranium glass and have dozens of pieces throughout my house, so it only seemed right to have some in the background of my videos! Good eye! --Meris :)

[@TheChaz81]

@@LevelUpRN Veeeery cool! Before pursuing nursing I worked at Los Alamos National Labs (where there's lots of radioactive stuff😉) and a friend of mine turned me on to this hobby! It's so cool... And interesting!

[@medstudyplaylist9295]

SUCH A GOOD VIDEO, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@LevelUpRN]

Glad you liked it!

[@godschild7393]

[@permejoeunicea.1686]

Thank you so much☺

[@LevelUpRN]

Happy to help! --Meris :)

[@amberca36737]

What’s the difference with these and the old ones with Cathy???

[@LevelUpRN]

Hi there! This playlist is our most up-to-date version using our current maternity flashcards. As nursing information in education is always changing with evidence based practice, we try to keep our products and videos as current as possible! Thanks for watching :) --Meris

[@aliquow4848]

Is this gestational age Ballard test accurate 100%?

[@Djellal]

I'm confused about the lanugo. What's the difference between present lanugo (hair) in premature and mostly bald in mature?? Because mostly bald means you still have some little hair present just like present lanugo in a baby.

[@LevelUpRN]

A mature or post-mature baby will have lost the majority of their lanugo, while a premature infant will have abundant lanugo. So the premature infant will be well-covered in this fine, downy hair, while a mature or post-mature infant is likely to have hair mostly on their heads and not much lanugo. I hope that helps! --Meris :)

[@laurenm1525]

Wouldn’t a pulse of 95 be 1 score for the APGAR score? I thought 1 point is rewarded for a pulse rate less than 100.

[@lindsaycode2285]

That's what I thought too. Her explanation says 2 pts for respirations which isn't in the scenario

[@jaloualquiza]

if u have a good cry it means u have also a good repiratory

[@R.R.B-chouhan]

Thnx

[@LevelUpRN]

Welcome!

[@raquelgray68]

Thanks Meris

[@LevelUpRN]

Happy to help!

[@reemmalak853]

Thank you

[@LevelUpRN]

You're welcome.

[@priscillas5144]

Good job

[@Angierenee.x]

HR is actually 110-160 ❤️ checked ATI I love your videos I have ATI & My final today!

[@LevelUpRN]

Best of luck on your exam! Each source differs slightly, so what we used to source and support our information may be slightly different than what other references use :) --Meris

[@melsue1026]

Mine is 120-160 for my school

[@whitneydulzo8869]

interesting that you provided inches and centimeters for length and weight, then inches only for head/chest circumference but immediately switched from inches to centimeters for the next line regarding the difference in head and chest circum. at birth. Bit confusing.

[@LevelUpRN]

All of the information for anthropometric measurements are available in both metric and imperial on our flashcards :)

[@isabellaspandau1482]

it's hard to follow when you don't say the number of the card you start with

[@dailydoseofmedicinee]

👏👏

[@annahang4294]

you save me

[@LevelUpRN]

Happy to help!

[@BenDaAdmin]

Conduction

[@boabroa8830]

Your videos desperately need writing! Show the APGAR scale while talking about it, etc. This applies to all your videos. A person talking is not very conducive to effective learning. Adding visuals will aid imprint information.

[@_fayou_]

@Alexandria Lukes exactly, you cant be given everything freely

[@lianneyskeen3298]

I think this is a supplement to the paid flash cards. I think level up rn has given us so much free resources the flash cards are for people like yourself that need a physical copy or you can make your own and then use this video to supplement your notes or study material (:

[@jolenesutton1263]

Some people just dont understand some of us learn by visual not just auditory. I have severe reading comprehension. In order for me to comply the aduio i need visual examples in order for me to memorize it.

[@jesuslovesyou948]

Exactly

[@rachaelschroeder1761]

There’s this thing called closed captions or transcript that you can use..

[@tenzinlhadon4350]

thank you

[@LevelUpRN]
