*CORRECTION*: At 14:58, when I discuss Edrophonium (the Tensilon Test) it should say that Edrophonium is a acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (which is a cholinesterase inhibitor) NOT ANTIcholinesterase.

I don’t know if you all share my feelings but I don’t understand why all nursing programs are so difficult to follow and then I come here and find Sarah and she makes everything so simple to understand. Schools should follow your system. Thank you, you are my savior.

I wish I could have paid part of my tuition to nurse Sarah because she helps me way more than any of my lectures. I get what I need in 30 minutes rather than a 3 hour long lecture with random rambling and off topic stuff.

I am currently 65 years old and was diagnosed in 1984. I have lived a pretty normal, just retired!! Just wanted to tell anyone that with proper care you can get through this. I never told my co-workers or my employer, made that mistake once and was "laid off six weeks latter". I than worked my next job for 25 years!!!

I wanna Thank ' YOU' I'm a Registered Nurse here in Canada for 18 years in NICU and I was challenged by the Nclex-rn exam .So i decided to take the exam after i got my eligibility .I graduated from Philippines the processing took 6 months so while waiting i saw your youtube videos and i was fascinated by You. You're such an excellent teacher . I have no experience in Adult nursing so i learned a lot from YOU.I focused on your videos and Saunders as you recommended.I took the exam last March 11,2019 and got my unofficial result March 13, and I pass.Thanks again .

I wish my online classes during corona virus looked like this😍

Hi Sarah, Thank You so much for this video. I am neither a doctor or nurse, but an actual MG patient. Until I watched your video I did not full understand my condition because my doctors either didn't understand or didn't want to take the time to actually explain to me what in the hell was actually going on with me. Very helpful and again Thank You.

I just got a 92 on my medsurg exam yesterday and it’s because of these videos! You describe the patho, symptoms and nursing interventions so well!

I was just diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis Disease. I hope that the specialist I’m seeing on March 1st will tell me that I can get help with my disease and lead a normal life!

Hiii! I am a physical therapist and recently took the NPTE here in the US, and Thank God I passed!!! I really would like to thank you for sharing these easy-to-learn videos to all of us. You have been such a blessing. Thank you!!❤

I have gained so much knowledge from you/r videos in the two years that I have been in nursing school, than I have in most of my classes. Thank you. You have been a blessing, especially this summer... as i prepare for my final semester!

Hi Sarah.. thank you is not enough to say how grateful I am to have someone like you doing this. You have no idea how big of a help you are to us nursing/med students. Forget about other materials, coz of you, I am officially a US Registered Nurse (New York RN) Thank you very much, God bless and keep doing what you were born to do. 🙏❤️

I remember when I was in college. Our professors would normally ask us to report. Instead of understanding the lesson well, we tend to get bored and not understand the lesson well. When I enrolled in the review center, the reviewers were able to simplify things. Thanks for simplifying the topics. You are a genius. I am planning to take the NCLEX and I will watch all your videos. I will recommend this to my colleagues as well.

I didn't know that I have MG since last year (when the pandemic started). I can't take shower/toilet, can't even comb my hair. I fell on the road few times when I'm on my way to work. Also fell in the toilet several times. I feel so weak, can't eat/talk/swallow & can't do any expression on my face. losing so much weight, from 52KG down to 40KG. It took more than a year before the doctor can confirm that I'm having this disease. I try my level best to be strong & sometimes I feel so down, hating myself & cry. Cuz I didn't expect this will happen to me at the age of 31. But the current meds that the doctor gave me, is helpful (I'm on medication now). It might not last long, but I can walk now, but still can't run.

I believe I have this, is how I found your video. I do not have the best health insurance down here in Florida. So I can not pick and choose what doctor I want to see. I’ve been complaining about my issues for years. It started with my eyes. I ended up with prisms glasses. Have double vision. I had to have upper eye lid surgery because my eye lids made me unable to open my eyes hardly at all. My arms and legs hurt so bad. I can not hold my arms up. Even the simple task of folding towels has become very painful and exhausting. My voice has deepened. Chewing food hurts my jaws as much as it’s exhausting. I have zero energy. In order to go anywhere at all, I have to take a nap prior. Then when I return home I’m completely exhausted. Peeing has become an issue for me. With all of these issues. Yet no doctor has ever tested me for anything. I have high pressure hydrocephalus and a vp shunt. So every issue must be related to that they say. They put on blinders and refuse to see anything else. I have recently started seeing a new neurologist. She really isn’t listening or asking me any questions. She gave me a brief test and wanted me to close my eyes. I was almost in tears and was afraid I would fall. I can not close my eyes and stand for more then a couple seconds. I waited four months to see her. She is performing a nerve test on me January 4. I am unsure why or what she’s trying to accomplish. I’m not nurse. But your video made me feel I finally may know what’s going on with me. Now how to get a doctor to test me for this? Sorry this was so long. But thank you for allowing me to get it all out.

I only have praises for you... your a great help to all of us preparing for NCLEX. Props to u 💯

This is so great! You're very organized and very educational. I love how you sliced those lectures like a piece of cake! You got a new subscriber now. Thank you and Godbless! .😍...and ohhh the quiz at the end too! Nice!! You are the modern Florence Nightingale to me! Much love!😍 Fellow RN here by the way. ✌😎🏥🙃

I have just finished watching the lecture and tried the free quiz but gaze what, it was like the quiz were nothing ,I passed so easy and I know I will continue doing well on any test on this condition ,God bless you for me Sarah , keep doing the good work.

I remember watching this video a few years ago when I was in nursing school. I didn't like neurology so I had a hard time to understand this topic. The name "myastenia gravis" sounds really cool to me, and I keep remember that in my mind. Long story short, I recently got diagnosed with general MG. I didn't finished nursing school because I had a hard time during the last year. Looking back I think that's when I started having MG symptoms but never realized it untill 4-5 years later.

Was recently diagnosed with MG on Christmas Eve. Researched videos on KZread to get more info on it and yours was the very first 1 I came across! You are Very informative and easy to understand. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this lesson Sara and your other video on cholinergic versus myasthenic crises. I am not a nurse but am trying to understand MG to help my mother navigate the symptoms. This information has really clarified what is going on and helped me differentiate between the two crises. I'm very grateful to finally understand! Thank you.

Hello Sarah I want thank you for help me to Pass my Nclex you are a wonderful teacher, I learned from you a lot.. Gob bless you ..

Just wanted to drop a line to say Thank you kindly for posting these videos Sarah;) God blessed you in this area for sure👌Your videos are short, concise & to the point. I passed my boards 1st & foremost thanks to My Lord & Savior Yeshua🙌Hurst review, my PN Mastery app & you! Your video tutorials & quizzes were a great blessing to me & I just wanted to say, Thank you & May God continue to bless you with the God given talent he’s endowed you with. The gift of teaching❤️

You helped me pass my NCLEx. You reinforced what I knew and gave me confidence. Thank you

She is the best! I learn more from her than from my nursing school ❤

RN Sarah is definitely one of my favorite nurse content creators. You are so knowledgeable you break the info down simply. I honestly feel like if you have a nursing school everyone would pass all the exams and NCLEX with ZERO issue. Thank you for all the amazing work that you do

These are phenomenal. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

Very thorough and extremely helpful ! Much better than the class lecture I pay for.

Best recommendations channel by you tube 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

You're the best nursing teacher!! I appreciate you so much Nurse Sarah!!! Thank you for existing.

Sadly I wasn't even diagnosed with it then. I was essentially discharged for something else as an excuse.

MG is something I tried to learn about so many times (it has never been in my scope of practice tho) and I always failed - because every time I encountered that condition, I thought "ah, MG again, I looked this up so many times, what was it all about again?!". Today I watched Sarah's lecture and guess what! I get it. Done. Thank you :D

MASHA ALLAH Highly appreciated lecture on MG. As a nursing student, always found this page and explanation very helpful and makes our concepts crystal clear. Live long!

Thank you so much from an appreciative Block 3 nursing student in Phoenix :)

Thank you so much for your videos! You make nursing make sense. I wish all professors could teach like you

Thanks for the lecture Nurse Sarah! Finally understood how these complex crises work! :)

Thank you Sarah. Amazing lecture. I am not a nurse but my aunt got diagnosed a week ago with MG and I wanted to know more information about it and your lecture came so handy thanks

I really appreciate these videos as a nursing student. For those that wonder 'why can't nursing school be like this', there are several reasons. The first is the accreditation requirements. My understanding is that these are quite strict for nursing schools and, as with all strict regulations on educational programs, it can lead to teaching to requirements, which in turn can hamper a teacher's creativity. There is also a high emphasis on 'pass rates'. Thus, schools are likely to enforce the 'tried and true' curriculum that has maintained their NCLEX pass rate at a certain percentage as opposed to letting teachers improvise. As much as nurse educators say 'we don't teach to the test', the fact is that nursing schools do teach to a test because if they didn't get high NCLEX pass rates, no one would attend the school and nursing schools, like most other schools in the US, are ultimately a business. Lastly, there's the factor on instructors. To be honest, my nursing instructors have mostly been great. However, many of them are asked to double as clinical instructors, which in turn means they need to work clinical hours to maintain their nursing skills and certifications. This can stretch teachers pretty thin when you are teaching 2-3 days per week, working another 2 days in the hospital and then having to balance your remaining time against lesson preparation and grading and having an actual life. As an older student, I've had the benefit of being more candid and straightforward with my professors and I've seen how much work they need to put in just to maintain their certifications and do the basics of teaching, preparing lessons and grading. It's a ton of time and their pay, while not bad, isn't exactly stellar either (I'd make about the same amount of money as a new Crit Care nurse in most hospitals). Just a few thoughts since I see several people complaining about nursing schools. These are the realities that I've seen in my time in school. Personally, I think the best solution would be a shift away from classrooms towards clinicals. In other words, more clinical time, less classroom time. I think this would be the most beneficial. Students would be evaluated on their ability to actually apply skills and knowledge on real patients. This would enhance the training of skilled, safe nurses. It would also be easier (in my opinion) for students. Most of us learn best by doing and seeing and clinicals are just that. For example, I was struggling with sickle-cell and so my Pedi clinical instructor placed me with a patient who was recovering from sickle-cell crisis. It really enhanced my learning and understanding of the disease process, treatments and nursing interventions in a way that no class or video ever could (because I was actually seeing and participating).

Thanks for helping all of us!

Yay for an MG video from you! Timing is everything, as I just had lecture on this yesterday. I found your videos and resources a couple weeks back when covering cardiovascular, and even though I've just got 11 months left for my LPN-BSN, I will be utilizing your videos until I'm done (wish I'd stumbled across these much sooner). Your delivery of material is excellent, clear and concise, and easy to follow and internalize. Also, for some reason, I seem to pay more attention to those with an accent; yours doesn't fail me! Keep up the great service you provide to aspiring nurses. YOU ROCK!!
