A message from Kristine, founder of NurseInTheMaking📣
My name is Kristine and I survived nursing school…and you can too!
Nurse In The Making was inspired during my time in nursing school. I immediately struggled and decided to create my own study guides. These guides have helped me personally as well as many others make nursing school just a little more manageable.I hope you find comfort knowing that everyone struggles at times. Nursing school is emotionally and physically draining. I hope these informative, clean, and simple guides help you navigate through all the information because there is A LOT of it in nursing school.
Happy Studying Future Nurses. Don't forget to enjoy the journey!

Vey detailed explanation. I can’t believe that I’m discovering this channel just now that I’m in my last year of nursing school 😢 .

Great

[@jakobbartscher4716]

One addition for the nutritional adjustments: the ones mentioned in the video are for active phase. Patients in remission should eat a normal, healthy whole foods diet with plenty of soluable fiber. This is both to retain remission as well as to reduce risks of other diseases like colon cancer (which is higher in IBD patients). There is also evidence to avoid emulsifiers.

[@NurseInTheMaking]

Yes, these symptoms and guidelines apply more to complications with each condition. Each patient is different in their stage, response, presentation, and body requirements, so they should definitely seek individualized care from their HCP for the best outcomes for their specific situation.

[@charlesnjoroge57]

its sad that i am unable to get the bundle in pdf

[@Cloud.Crystal]

This video made it so much easier to understand! Quick question the book version says UC has a cure = colectomy and the video says no cure?

[@NurseInTheMaking]

So sorry for any confusion! For clarity, a colectomy to remove part of the colon (affected area) can be done to help manage symptoms of ulcerative colitis for relief but does not cure the disease.

[@davidtsw]

Thanks for this clear and easy to follow comparison! I heard multivitamin might be a good idea but how about soluble fiber (psyllium) supplement ? I'm worried about not getting anywhere near enough fiber now that I'm avoiding many veggies and fruit.

[@NurseInTheMaking]

Thanks for your question! Each patient is so individualized based on their history and symptoms that it’s hard to say one way or the other for you. I would suggest asking this question to your HCP, and maybe even seeking input from a dietician based on your recent dietary changes. I hope this helps guide you to the correct path to get the answers you’re seeking! 💛

Do you have any notes for anatomy and physiology? If u do what’s the name on it on your Etsy shop?

[@NurseInTheMaking]

At the moment, I don’t have any products specifically for anatomy & physiology. However, The Complete Nursing School Bundle has a wonderful breakdown of cardiac systems, respiratory systems, renal and hepatic systems, and much more. It dives into Nursing Interventions and care, while also helping you to visualize the body systems involved, relate organs to their lab values, and truly connect the information in a way that a standard A&P model may not.

[@FidelMenglamo-pj8zc]

Which part of the stomach hurts with both illnesses, right or left side abdomen?

[@NurseInTheMaking]

Ulcerative colitis typically involves the large intestine, so discomfort related to this area would be in the left abdominal region. Crohn's disease can affect anywhere along the GI tract, so pain can be anywhere. With either disease, depending on the involvement, previous episodes, and overall condition of the patient, pain may be felt in multiple areas of the abdomen.

[@AbdulhakimZekeriya]

Why no cure what about corticosteroids like budesonide 9mg for 6 month to decrease relaps in crhon?

[@NurseInTheMaking]

Hello! Great question. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Crohn's disease. Some medications help to manage symptoms or to slow the progression, but they do not cure the disease. Surgery may also help relieve symptoms, but also does not cure the disease. I hope this helps answer your question!
