Cathy, I love you, girl! You and your team put out solid content and I have used your videos to pass multiple ATIs. I listen to you in the car, while getting ready, and at school too. The nursing community is so grateful for you and your Level Up RN team!

Little Maggie is 1.3 to 2.1 years old (magnesium). She ate 3.5 to 5 bananas (potassium) and drank 9 to 10.5 oz of milk (calcium). Then she took a 136 to 145 minute nap after swimming in the ocean (sodium)

[@misstee0712]

For magnesium, think of a magnifying glass. You see 1.5 to 2.5x bigger than normal!

[@LevelUpRN]

[@celestelawrence9881]

You need 3.5-5 bananas to make banana bread. POTASSIUM RANGE!

[@set3777]

Buy a pocket ECG to test instead of just keep on eating bananas. I tested a church member's ECG 3 weeks ago and it showed he had a little too much potassium (mild hyperkaliamia). HE was just taking one banana everyday.

[@dorothykoko9473]

EVERY TIME I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS I GRASP A LOT OF MATERIAL FOR THE NCLEX EXAM

Hi! I'm sure this comment will get lost in your other comments, but I wanted to thank you so much for everything. I've watched nearly all of your videos in your med-surg series (and some from the peds) thanks to your videos, I was able pass my Pediatric and Adult Med-Surg ATI's. I've spent the past 3 days watching your videos all day and trust me when I say, you saved me! If you are watching these videos for help for your ATI, you are in the right place! Thank you so much again! :)

[@LevelUpRN]

I’m not sure if anybody brought to your attention but at 6:02 you mentioned that hypercalcemia can also be caused by hypoparathyrodism. I know you meant hypocalcemia but for a newbie might not 😊

For calcium i like call 911 and potassium (k+) in kindergarden or grade k you usually learn to count from 3-5..

[@FranGrandees]

I was recently hospitalized with some deficiencies and I'm enjoying your content! I'm not a med student but I'm learning how to take better care of myself and I appreciate you making these videos! I'm one of the few people that really enjoyed that potassium drink they gave me in the emergency room 😂-- they warned me it will be disgusting but I asked for seconds 😛

[@LevelUpRN]

Oh wow, your enjoyment of the potassium drink is rare indeed lol! So glad you are enjoying our content. Thanks for watching!!

[@cheeky7968]

HI. I bought your med-surg flashcards, but i dont see any on electrolytes. Where do I look, so I can follow along. Thank you.

What happened to the fundamentals playlist 😫. It was so helpful and well explained. I was almost done with the playlist, but now i cant find it.

“Call 9-11” is how I remember calcium

[@laylam4241]
