Got a 95% on my Physical Assessment Test because of you . Thanks bro!

[@NurseBass]

So happy to hear it! :)

[@me6ur]

So what did you miss if you don’t mind

[@southernglamgurl9518]

Who would dislike this video? Honestly this is by far the best video on Head To Toe Assessment.

[@NurseBass]

I'm happy to hear you liked it. A bunch of haters tho lol :p

[@joseygaslin5440]

Also found this super helpful. Thank you.

[@leahleigh8514]

Nurse Bass A very small bunch.

[@penaic]

Awesome NurseBass! He went straight to the point in a straight English. Sometimes instructors can be very technical and complex on simple topic like this one.

[@uniquejohnson5516]

Someone who is a know it all. Fuck hatas

[@AldenIsCaca]

I'm doing my first head to toe assessment today! Thanks for a quick tutorial. I picked this video because I didn't want to waste 40 precious studying minutes. Need a quick brush up before I head in. Wish me luck.

[@starkeclipse]

Reminder: Carotid arteries should be auscultated (listened to) before palpated. If there is a bruit, we don't palpate because you don't want to accidentally break off the buildup attached to the artery (potentially causing a stroke). Great video overall! Cheers!

[@marcussmith4913]

way better and straight to the point than 80 percent of the videos out there. Thanks

[@NurseBass]

Glad to hear it brother 👊🏽

[@starrgem10]

You were way more thorough than any of my instructors. Thank you for the help.

[@talishafranklin2472]

Great job! I've been a nurse for 4 years and am now in NP school. I stumbled across your video and really enjoyed it. I'm sure you are an inspiration to tons of students, especially male. Keep up the great work!

[@l.v.s.l.v.s.1106]

you are so good. I whish my instructor was as good as you.

[@NurseGinnyRN]

Huge help! I start clinicals tomorrow, haven't done test outs on head to toe assessments yet, however I know this will be a huge part of clinicals. Thank you for clarifying this in a no nonsense-this is how I do it-approach. This is exactly what I needed.

[@NJgirl4eva89]

I'm in my first semester in the ADN program at my school and will be tested on this next week. I was actually pretty nervous because our instructors kind of leave us to our own devices and we have to figure things out on our own (unless we ask questions), but this video made it so much easier. Just hearing someone talk it through the whole thing helps a lot. I'm so glad I found your video, it's really helpful. New subscriber for sure!

[@katierussell1292]

This helped me so much! My first assessment literally took me an hour 😂😂 Our instructor doesn't really go into detail about assessments and we're all still so lost about it but this video was awesome!!

[@Glambellababy]

Katie Russell sounds like my school😩😂

[@lil_kennedy4541]

I recorded my teacher performing it so I could practice it over and over we all got 20 minutes to do ours

[@AmayraneD]

Thanks for this video, you basically summed up a full semester of Health Assessment in 13 mins. !! :)

[@NurseBass]

+Amayrane Diaz Hahah,, yeaaa no problem! I could have gone into much further depth in regards to abnormalities to assess for, but I didn't feel like making you guys watch a 45 minute video haha :p

[@grace-anncampbell3786]

@@NurseBass I would sit for 2 hours and watch watever u have to say cause u break things down very easily. Can u do video of talking about the abnormalities

[@Virtuewz]

This helped me lots in my second year which was the first time I did a head-to-toe assessment. Now I'm going back into acute care for my fourth year, and you're helping again. Good foundational knowledge. Thanks Nurse Bass.

[@christinamarie1170]

Thank you for this video! You're really good at teaching and explaining!

[@elizabethmurphy3461]

Great video! My assessment class has been a joke, but this puts everything into such a clear perspective. I am subscribed!

[@lonnaluke3923]

I love this guy! I am taking my first head to toe assessment tomorrow. This tutorial was very informational and super fast.

[@alexandraarmstrong7426]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Not too much detail, just the basics to give me a quick refresher! So helpful, thank you thank you!

[@cierrasain1715]

This is sooo good! Thanks! Fast and a run through.... totally pointed out a lot of things I'm not observing/thinking about and reiterating things I've herd as a first year student. Thanks for posting!

[@brittanyt.31]

Doing my first assessment today and just gotta say thank you for this vid.. years later and it’s still helping us newbies! 🙏🙏

[@mizzzjulia]

This was so helpful and straight to the point!! Thank you!!!! Currently taking my first validation next week on vital signs and head to toe, this helped a ton!!!

[@kristyreel948]

SO awesome!! I love how practical, down-to-earth, and logical your explanations/rationale are!! THANK YOU for helping make sense of this process for me!!

[@amandabowen8540]

Literally this video is amazing. I'm freaking out about my head-to-toe assessment check off this coming week and you definitely helped calm my nerves by giving detailed explanations of everything.

[@bethlevine2495]

Great job ...one of the BEST head to toe assessment videos. Thanks!

[@NurseBass]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave me a comment :D

[@susanchastain5729]

Love this! Extremely helpful, comprehensive, and interesting. Thank you.

[@tchidume]

This really awesome. I've been scrolling looking for a good assessment description for my nursing students. This is the best talk through I've seen by far!! Thanks!!!!!!

[@chartier8698]

Thank you so much for this video! I start clinical Monday, so I've been watching lots of head to toe assessment videos, and this is by far the most helpful one I've found 🙂 Time to binge watch the rest of your videos!

[@NurseBass]

+Ash Bre Well I'm really happy to hear that this was the best video that you've come across in regards to the Head to Toe assessments. And I hope you find great benefit from my other videos as well and subscribe! :)

[@ILoveTacos318]

Love the video! Starting my first hospital clinical tomorrow and this video helped me prepare major! Thanks!

[@niccolerothschuh634]

This is great! So simple and easy to follow. Awesome study guide!

[@margueritemartin8166]

Friend, you are gonna get me through these damn two years. Thanks so much for doing these, they are SO MUCH BETTER than ATI. Keep it up!

[@TheKaylaDawn]

This video was so helpful. You're so laid back and you have a great personality, so patients must love you! Just survived week 2 of nursing school! I'll be watching more of your videos for sure. :)

[@NurseBass]

Haha well thank you very much :)) Congratulations and I wish you well for the rest of this semester!

[@winfridamugugu2505]

Wow. This is amazing. I’m in my first week of Nursing 1 and I’m preparing for my head to toe assessment and your video is so straight forward and easy to understand. Thank you!

[@heathergomez1257]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos! You have a great way of explaining and they are truly so helpful!

[@nomandatoryvaxing7433]

Dude you helped me sooo much I can’t tell you how much I wish I could give you a hug. You really worked the head to toe physically and the systems and I NAILED my assessment so THANK YOU

[@Basedmursenary]

Thanks Bass. Just started NS this fall and am excited/blessed to have you as a resource! Best wishes from Wilmington, NC

[@Aishaoaktree1122]

make sure to know which questions to ask, some you can clearly marked off. I totally asked a post menopausal 77 year old woman when was her last period it was so embarrassing . she laughed though so yeah that happened.

[@NurseBass]

That's funny, but don't feel bad. I asked a lady who had gotten hit in the eye with a remote controller her pain scale; and then asked her where the pain was located. Totally didn't think that one through...

[@Aishaoaktree1122]

+Nurse Bass at least we're being thorough right?? lol.

[@kyraleigh9816]

Aishaoaktree1122 hahahahaha I'm dying at both of your stories. That's hilarious.

[@deidrataylor2919]

Aishaoaktree1122 mmm lol thanks for the heads up

[@deidrataylor2919]

Nurse Bass lol

[@Quiztube_Trivia8]

Thanks for this video! I just started a nursing program, and I like the sequence of the assessment you constructed. I'll be sure to keep watching your videos. 👍🏾

[@thekristineway]

great video!!! just did my first assessment ever in clinical today! thanks so much! i forsure forgot to check for some things, but I'll make sure to get those next clinical!!

[@NurseBass]

+MissSimplyKC Thank you! Well I'm happy it was helpful! More and more repetition, and you'll be doing it in your sleep!

[@TheRealArtTheBarber]

You are gonna be a great nurse, bro... for real. Knowledge is fundamental, but personality is essential when caring for people. Good nurse equals knowledge + personality.... and you got that! Best of luck! Thanks for the inspiration and support.

[@julieschroeder9515]

I just passed my head to toe skills assessment, this video helped me so much. Thanks Nurse Bass! 😊

[@kendrajohnson9927]

What a great video. I have to do mine in 2 hours for my test out. You totally took the edge off. Thanks so much for this video 💕

[@matthewsheats1880]

Thanks for the rundown. Going to watch a few more times before I have to do health assessment in the morning.

[@Ruffles729]

Thanks so much! Starting clinical this week and my instructor didn’t teach us thoroughly. Plus it helps to have it on video so I can pause where I’m confused. Thanks!!! I’m gonna do great

[@RJ-cv2uw]

I dont know what to say. Went to skills lab a couple days ago, the professor demonstrated the head to toe assessment and I left skills feeling overwhelmed and depressed, lol. I've got check off a few days from now and all of my study materials really complicate things. You make it seem so simple and actually fun. Thank you for doing what you do Nurse Bass. Thanks brother!...#FutureMaleNurse

[@athenaargyropoulos5988]

This was the most helpful head to toe video I've ever seen. Thank you!!

[@Ashley-vn4bi]

Thanks for making this video!! Testing for my head to toe assessment this week. Your video has really helped me!!

[@clocker1472]

well done man. You give me courage and reminded stuff i was forgetting. Thanks

[@denajoyner3250]

I just started the nursing program! Week 2! Already watched a few of your videos and will keep going! Love your motivation and tips! Thank you!

[@NurseBass]

Well congratulations on beginning Nursing School! That's awesome. I hope you continue to enjoy the content and I'll keep it coming! :D

[@kaylinbarefoot7334]

This is so amazing and so helpful! THANK YOU!

[@Adendum82]

My biggest like for this vid is the way you make this general assessment flow. I think that's sometimes the hardest part of learning all of the individual assessment separately. There's no flow...and every prof says, "you'll develop your own style and sequence". But it's nice to see (or hear) a nurse putting it together, Profs don't repeat their expected flow more than a couple of times. This is helpful to practice to and develop a timely routine for a H2T assessment. I also love that you are very verbal...it helps to absorb info even when I'm busy with housework or something and can't watch the screen. Thanks Nurse Bass!

[@NurseBass]

Angela Blake You’re so welcome! Now hone those skills! ;)

[@mellyme2184]

Even as a student you had so much confidence! Thank you for the constant knowledge.

[@sonjacrivici3097]

Loved your video. Thank you!

[@ivanamorales9565]

Thanks soooo much for this video! I have my skills check off for physical assessment Friday and this is so helpful! 🙌🏽

[@amandawyrick5300]

You are going to be a great nurse. Thank you so much for all your videos!

[@dinayohannes8993]

That was great, you went through all the main point and Helped a lot.

[@tracydeniser.n.1432]

you are awesome..im taking health assesment this semester a few of my friends failed..you just made me feel at ease about this course...keep up the great work ..nurse bass..youre the bomb !

[@corajohnson6010]

Very, very helpful. Concise and relevant. Thank you!

[@autumnthomasson477]

Thank you! This was literally the most helpful video i've watched

[@beckyhrom]

I'm an LPN (for about 12 years now) currently in the process of getting accepted into an RN program. They are making us do skills check offs, one being a head to toe assessment, which isn't something that is all that common for LPNs to do. I have been a nervous wreck, going over landmarks in my sleep!! This is the most helpful video and info I have found yet. Thanks!!

[@NurseBass]

+Becky Hromyak Haha well you're very welcome and I hope that it proves to be helpful! And good luck to you! :)

[@myaussiebabe1]

G'day Nurse Bass. I'm new to your tutorials, but you rock! Thank you so very much!

[@kristinzehren2482]

Very helpful :) loved it and you made it sound so easy! Your confidence is something every new nurse/nursing student desires!

[@NurseBass]

Well thank you very much! People compliment me on my confidence a lot so I must be doing something right lol :P

[@thompsonkendra44]
