Event 12: How to Tackle Your Final Exams with Nurse Liz

00:00 A are three primary objectives are helping you reduce.

00:04 Thanks, Sarah. Very good sales pitch.

00:06 Um, reduce your test anxiety before the exam because that's something that I struggled with a lot. So I'm projecting on you and telling you that you probably experienced that too. Two we're going to get practical study tips to actually help you prepare.

00:18 Like what can you actually implement? Um, in order to, you know, what are some things that you can actually do? Because sometimes you get like a motivational talk and you're like, that's nice, but how are you really going to help me? I got you.

00:30 And then three, I'm going to answer your questions because you guys always have the best questions. Um, thanks, Kathy and Molly, I appreciate you. Um, Fatima, please, I want to know if the 99 covers all courses for the whole year.

00:41 Yes. You get everything that is included in Lecturio nursing.

00:45 We do have a free Product.

00:46 It's just more limited if you do want to try that out.

00:49 Um, but yes, the $99 is all inclusive.

00:53 Okay, so let me know if this sounds familiar at all.

00:57 Okay. While you are studying, I have I at least I did.

01:02 I was reading the things I was watching the slides. I'm like, I definitely get this and I believe in myself. This is I'm fine, I am totally fine.

01:09 And then I would get to the exam and I am lost, confused, unclear, perplexed, disoriented and bewildered.

01:15 I'm like, this is not the same information that I was reading because I'm an expert on that information and I'm getting all of this wrong, which is very confusing.

01:24 Um, good. Everyone's agreeing with me. I'm very glad I was like, if this if you guys don't agree, that'll be awkward. So here's our first joint.

01:33 Like I said, you're going to be typing and we're all going to be, um, being involved.

01:37 Um, what emotions do knowing that we all kind of feel this way? What emotions do final exams bring up for you? Sarah anxiety? Molly anxiety.

01:46 Yep. That was me in nursing school.

01:48 I just like, got so scared that I just shut down and I like, could not handle it. Um, I also think it's good.

01:56 Okay, good. Anxiety. Doubt.

01:57 Anxiety. Anxiety. Possible failure.

02:00 Yeah for sure. And I am also not diaphoresis.

02:03 Well, there you go Lori. You at least you got the name down that's sweating if you haven't gotten there yet. Um, I was not a great student.

02:11 Um, so you should probably know that going into this, that I was not at all a straight-A student. So this is not someone who is.

02:17 I feel like sometimes lectures, they come off from people who are like, you know, super brains, and then they give you their knowledge.

02:23 This is from, you know what I wish I would have known.

02:26 Um, and what I was able to implement in grad school after, like, learning a little bit more.

02:30 So from a very average student to, I mean, you guys are very motivated because you're already here, so you're already doing better than me. You're all going to be great.

02:37 Um, so yeah, it turns from like, I want to show off my skills, but it doesn't always work. Worried about failing? Doubt. Fear. Failure. Yeah. So that is like.

02:46 Exactly. My mind goes blank.

02:48 Christina. Same. I'm like, I was so much smarter three hours ago, and now we're here. So today we're going to tackle that.

02:55 Um, we're going to first start by identifying the problems.

02:58 Right. Because the last thing we want is to feel like paralyzed by this.

03:02 We don't want to be overwhelmed because that can make us it's going to make you do even worse, right? Anytime you're in a stress situation, it's it's not going to lead to your best your best brain self.

03:13 Right. So we have maybe like a lot of you were saying, I saw all of these in the chat.

03:17 The fear of failing either for the first time or again I think it's really difficult once you've already not done well on that first exam because you're going into the next one.

03:25 You're like, well, I'm probably just going to make do the next one pretty bad to overwhelm.

03:29 I saw a lot of you guys saying overwhelm from there's just like the situation or there's so much information, you know, if your teachers haven't narrowed it down or it's like this textbook is huge.

03:38 How am I supposed to know everything? Um, that overwhelm can lead you to kind of like, you can't really focus, right? Because you're like, I don't even know what to focus on, so I can't even target my studying. Um, and you feel unprepared.

03:50 So it looked like a lot of those things that I felt a lot of you.

03:54 And for me, I from I hear from nursing students all the time that they feel that you guys are feeling, too.

03:59 Um, and so we're going to talk about this and it's going to get better.

04:03 Okay. I promise it's going to get better. So the first the good part is, um, you've already done the first part, you've identified the problem.

04:10 And I want you to know that having fear that is not a problem, okay? Fear is a very normal emotion.

04:16 We've kind of in society, like Pooh poohed it as, like, a horrible thing.

04:20 Um, but I think fear of nursing school is very healthy because nursing school is evil and we should not, like, love evil things.

04:26 Right? So this is very difficult.

04:28 But just because fear is not like a problem, it's not a bad thing.

04:32 You should be afraid of nursing school.

04:34 It doesn't mean that the fear like needs to take over our lives because we can absolutely do it. We can tackle nursing school.

04:41 Every single one of you can tackle nursing school.

04:43 Um, you're also just allowed to be afraid.

04:45 And it's what we do with that fear.

04:47 That's what actually gives us trouble. Okay.

04:50 So, you know, we're going to kind of like squash the narrative of like you aren't allowed to feel nervous or afraid or overwhelmed.

04:56 You know all the things where society tells you, like just ignore those feelings. We're going to kind of look at them, embrace them, and feel them for a minute, and then figure out what we can do with them so that that fear doesn't become life consuming and paralyzing.

05:08 Right. Okay. So we have our first poll.

05:11 Who feels this can go in your poll? Um, or the chat? But the poll is easier and it's very satisfying to see the answers come in. Who feels like they're never going to be ready for finals? A is my group of I am ready.

05:24 Um, B is I'm prepared, but I could use a few more tips.

05:27 C is I need to prepare.

05:29 And D is I am not ready at all.

05:32 Oh I would usually probably be in I was paralyzed in that fight, flight or freeze. I was always the human who, like, froze. So I would be like, I'm not ready at all because I'm too overwhelmed to even try.

05:42 So you guys can probably see this, but zero people have answered, I'm ready. 13 people said, I'm prepared, but I could use more tips.

05:49 31 the massive part said I need to prepare and 12 of you said I'm not ready at all.

05:54 So it is not just you and Kathy.

05:58 Good. She's an accelerated program starting in May and at orientation they told her that no one had dropped out yet, so that's good. That's very comforting. That is good. Um, let's see.

06:08 I start out super strong and then gradually reduce test grades.

06:10 I got you, it gets. It's exhausting.

06:12 This stuff piles on to each other.

06:14 Um, I good you guys are good.

06:17 Okay, so I'm not alone, so we're kind of on the right track.

06:19 Finals are overwhelming.

06:21 Um, this is my first. We're going to give you guys mantras first.

06:25 So just hang on to that knowledge of all the people, right? We just saw all the people in the polls.

06:30 52% of you feel like you need to prepare more, 22%. You're not ready at all.

06:34 And there's two people out there who are just killing it and they feel ready.

06:38 But everyone else, 98%, 97% of you feel not ready.

06:43 Okay. And so just let that sit in because they think a lot of the times in school, we think we are the only ones who feel a certain way, and that's very lonely. And that really can get you into the negative self-talk cycle, right? Where you're like, I'm the worst, I'm the worst. Oh, I'm the only one that's not ready. Everyone's better than me. I'm never going to do this. I'm going to fail. And then you just go down in your spiral, right? But knowing, oh, like every single other people, every single other person feels the exact same way I do.

07:08 And none of us feel like overly prepared.

07:10 Here's our first. We're going to have mantras. Okay? These are going to be little things that we repeat to ourselves.

07:15 Um, this is what happens when people let me be in charge of a PowerPoint. It's like I'm going to put mantras in, um, you're not alone.

07:20 We're going to repeat that to yourself. And these are little things that I would say to myself, even to this day when I feel super overwhelmed, is I am not alone. Okay, so that one can apply anytime you're feeling like I'm the only one here.

07:32 Because I promise you, you're not the only one.

07:34 It's not you, it's everyone.

07:36 And that is much less scary, much less overwhelming, and much less blamable.

07:40 Right? Because you know what's more likely here, right? That you and everyone else are failures.

07:47 I mean, that's probably not likely.

07:49 Or that you and everyone are humans doing your very best in a difficult situation that is probably not the best suited to assess your knowledge.

07:55 Like an exam. I don't think tests are very friendly to a lot of different learning styles. Um, so what is more likely here, right, that everyone is a problem or that exams are really rough and they are actually the problem, so we can't be mean to ourselves because something is evil like a test.

08:12 Okay, so now we're going to move on to phase two.

08:15 What are we going to actually do about it.

08:17 Right. So we know we've recognized within ourselves.

08:19 You guys can remember back.

08:21 Exactly Maggie. It's the exams that are the problem I agree.

08:24 Um, the problem has been go back and remember what you had shared in the beginning when people were saying like, I'm overwhelmed, I'm stressed, I'm anxious, let's go back and kind of put these back onto our work bench.

08:35 Right. Because now we've identified our problem, which is sometimes one of the harder things to do is just sit with ourselves for a minute and be like, what am I actually feeling about this? And now we are going to problem solve, and this is going to look different for every single person because no, you're not all going to have the same concerns, right? So we're going to make a solution on our little workbench to the individual problem for you this exam season.

08:57 Because remember it can even change from season to season, right. Like next finals.

09:01 You might be worried about something entirely different, but right now what you are working on. So like kind of in the back of your mind, pull back what remind remind yourself what you were actually worried about.

09:11 So let's we're going to take a few examples okay.

09:14 I can't go through all of them for you because they're I just picked the four most common ones that I kind of thought of that I've heard from a lot of students.

09:21 Um, and so we'll kind of go through a few, but then you could continue this exercise right in your own brain of finding solutions to the problem so that we feel the fear, and then we don't let it paralyze us.

09:33 We move through it and we work with it.

09:36 Right? Okay. So fear of failing again.

09:40 So if we have a fear of failing again, this could be a fear of failing again or just feel of failing in general.

09:46 Um, we're going to review what went well and what went poorly last time.

09:49 And if you guys have any ideas of what you would do in these scenarios, like throw them out because this might be something you're really good at, right? And the other people in this chat are going to be able to learn from you.

10:00 So if you had a fear of failure, what would you do in order to fix it? Right? So these are the ones that I thought of. And then we'll kind of look in the chat and see, okay, how what would you guys do as well.

10:11 Because I get a lot of the best information from all of you.

10:14 How would you work on fixing this one? We would review what went well and what went poorly last time.

10:19 Right. So we just need to, like, lay it all out there and see what on earth is going on. Okay.

10:24 So that we can like, really categorize it and figure out what we need to target. Ask to review the exam with your professor.

10:30 Right. Because they're going to be able to sit there with you. And maybe they would be able to identify like, hey, I think you are struggling with this.

10:36 Professors generally not always are going to be willing to sit there and like at least work with you a little bit.

10:44 Um, point you in the direction of, like, hey, maybe next time I would study this. They write the test. So when they say, hey, maybe you should study this. Just listen and do it and change your study strategy, right? So the first exam I always tell people is a total like it's a gamble because you're walking into the semester, you don't know this teacher's test style, right? You don't know kind of what they like to focus on.

11:03 You'll learn that throughout the semester. And now we're as we're entering finals. Maybe you still haven't nailed it. So change your study strategy again.

11:10 Ask other people how they're studying.

11:13 Um, obviously get Lecturio and we will get you ready for your test.

11:16 You'll be totally fine.

11:17 Type in like my friend.

11:19 I have like three weeks to learn all of this stuff, and it'll give you a very intense but doable study planner. Um, don't do the same thing over and over again and then think like, every time, be like, oh, but like, I really tried again this time, but with the same thing.

11:32 Maybe you need to write stuff out. Maybe you need to listen to it, you know, record it and listen it to it. On audio, change something about how you're doing it and see how it goes. Um.

11:41 Do one, teach one. No.

11:43 What is it? See one. Do one, teach one.

11:44 Yeah. That's it. That's a really helpful thing for a lot of people.

11:47 Um, where you read the information, you kind of, like, play it through in your head, and then you pretend you're teaching your dog. That worked well for me a lot.

11:54 Shana said, um, review missed questions and attend extra sessions.

11:58 Exactly. Get extra time, Cathy said.

12:00 Prioritize what you should do first.

12:02 Yes. So focus next time on all the stuff that was more difficult for you this time.

12:07 Um, I know Cathy said.

12:09 I know materials, but pick one too many or not enough, which is no credit or no question at all. Yeah, select all that apply.

12:15 Um, questions are very different.

12:18 We actually I did an entire series just like this one or a web event like this one.

12:23 Um, at the end I will point it out to you, um, I and will link you to it that you can go watch after this one.

12:29 It's free. Um, with like it's those all of the ones in this mentoring playlist are always free, so you can go watch them. And I go through how to choose select all that apply questions to stop your paralysis when you're actually reading the question so we can I'm not going to dive like in like too deep into choose all that apply during our little chat. We can talk about it during the Q&A.

12:52 Just because I have a whole entire like video lecture that we did on that.

12:56 Um, Janine said my instructor won't let us see what we missed to truly understand what's wrong. Well, that's just mean. I'd like to discuss that with them.

13:03 I agree, Maya, it doesn't seem fair.

13:05 How? Yeah, because how are you supposed to learn from it? Even if you just go in and ask to review the information? I think that could be helpful. Like without seeing the test and say, like, could you point me in a better direction? Um, and if not, go talk to your dean.

13:16 Um, so that's kind of let's see.

13:19 We we can't review our exams and you can't review your exams.

13:22 That's insane. My professor is the same way.

13:25 Concept maps. Cathy, concept maps are really cool.

13:27 That's a nice way to lay it all out.

13:28 And kind of. You basically put a topic in the middle and then you list out everything you know about it and you clump it.

13:34 Um, they're very fun, especially if you like a lot of color.

13:37 Um, the instructor will read a basic PowerPoint and then the exam have all these questions. Yeah. So that's why you obviously need Lecturio because we'll teach you. We'll ask you the questions, we'll get you there. And you don't even need your teacher. Okay. Don't tell them I said that. Um, let's move on to. But I'm sorry your teachers are like that.

13:54 That really does stink. Um, overwhelm from too much information.

13:58 How would you guys go about fixing it if you felt like there was just way too much information and you didn't know how to target it down? Kathy, um, I think you're.

14:06 Yes. Chunking it. Concept maps, finding something that, like, kind of brings it together, identifying what you know versus what you don't know. You don't need to spend time on things that you don't know.

14:17 That was why, um, in the beginning, I briefly talked about like, what Lecturio was because, like, it'll ask you questions, and if it knows you know it, it's not going to ask you to remember it again. You know, it's going to be like, okay, you're good. We'll bring it up again for you before your test.

14:29 But like, we're not going to spend extra time on it.

14:31 And having a program that learns you is very helpful because then it takes care of it for you and you don't have to use any of your brain power to.

14:38 Like deal with what do I know versus what do I don't making a study schedule.

14:43 Super helpful. Right. Because at the beginning of the semester they're like, hey, you have to know all of this.

14:48 Plan out your entire kind of like, study schedule.

14:51 I like to do at the beginning of the semester before the school actually starts.

14:54 I if you've watched any of my things, I call it like my day of doom because you're very sad after because you've just, like, planned so many things, but then you don't have to do it later, right? So I plan my entire semester kind of listed out, and then 2 or 3 weeks before I'll go through and like list reasonable things that you can get done each day. Don't go hardcore.

15:11 You never want to over commit because then you feel sad.

15:14 Much better to under commit to what you can accomplish, and then do extra and feel like you're the best person in the entire world.

15:19 Um, so making a really good study schedule that you can actually skip to.

15:24 And then only looking at today.

15:26 Right? You can only look at today because if you even if you don't, you know, if you make this list and you're like, oh, I have all these things to do today, it's doable if you just look at today.

15:34 But if you look at the whole month, you're going to have another day of doom that we already had at the beginning of the semester.

15:40 And it's not helpful, right? It's not helpful. It's just going to make you more stressed.

15:44 And that's going to be no good.

15:46 Um, if we let's see what you guys said about this one.

15:51 Um, so yes, chunking things.

15:54 Um, you know, my strengths and very my strengths and weaknesses within each topic.

15:58 Yeah. So kind of flip back and forth. You know, if you're feeling unconfident, that's a good thing to do is go and focus on things that you're confident on for a minute.

16:06 Talk to yourself about it, like teach it to your dog and then move on to something that you're less confident in. It'll kind of like boost you along. You know, you gain confidence. It's like a, you know, it feeds into each other.

16:16 If you can't focus on anything.

16:18 So if you are like me and you are paralyzed when you're like, hey, just don't even know how to move.

16:23 Um, you know, I have ADHD as well, so, like, just getting me to sit down, in case you can't tell by this conversation, um, getting me to, like, sit down and focus.

16:32 Is. It's rough. Um, so here's some things.

16:34 If you are also like that and you just can't focus, either it's because you're overwhelmed or just because your brain's like a little ping pong ball.

16:42 Listing out all of the learning objectives from your syllabus will help orient you.

16:47 Um, it'll help orient you through your learning, right? So if you can't focus, it's usually just because everything seems like it's scattered and everything's equally important, right? So you don't know what to pay attention to. So if you if your teacher which hopefully they have, they give you learning objectives in the beginning of modules it will tell you, hey, these are the things that we really want you to know by the end.

17:10 I want you to be able to tell me what kidney failure looks like, and I want you to be able to know all the different parts of the nephron.

17:17 And I want you to list, you know what kidney failure looks like? Something like that. Right? Those objectives down in your notes.

17:24 And then take the notes under them.

17:26 Right when you are looking at your paper and when you check them all off, you're done. Right? But that guides you so that you can Google the information.

17:34 You can Lecturio the information, right? You can just go in and tell it what you need to know.

17:39 Um, go in and look at it that way, and it gives you a much more guided approach versus like you just trying to randomly read your book because most of the things in your book you don't need to know.

17:49 Always, always, always focus your studying to your syllabus. You can do the Pomodoro technique. I love this Pomodoro technique is I don't remember the exact times, but it's like in two hour chunks of learning.

17:59 You sit down. Oh thank you Rosalyn, you study for 25 minutes, you take a five or so minute break, you study again for 25, you take a five minute break. Youtube, just YouTube Pomodoro technique study with me's and it gives you it.

18:13 Literally someone is sitting there, you know, in the YouTube video and they're doing it and it just makes you feel like you have a study buddy, but it really, really focuses you for when you just need to sit down and like, get stuff done. Hide your phone.

18:24 You know, friends, just hide it. Because if you have no self control like me, you're just going to need to hide it.

18:29 Make doable lists, right? Because an overwhelming list is still overwhelming.

18:34 Then it's not helpful. Remember, the point of lists is so we can prioritize what is the most important so that everything doesn't feel like it's the most important, which is how we get overwhelmed.

18:43 Um, play something in, like, the background.

18:46 Whatever it is. Do you like rain sounds? Do you like the sounds of, um.

18:50 Again, YouTube has a ton of videos of people like a cafe setting.

18:54 So even if you're at your house, you can play like cafe chatter.

18:57 So it'll have like, sounds of cafe like cups clanging and people talking and everything like that in the background. I like to listen to, um, it's called like ambiance, ASMR channels and it's that it's basically like I'm in a location, but I'm really not.

19:11 It doesn't have words, so I can't get distracted.

19:14 Anything you want play in the background music.

19:16 I can't do anything with words or music because I get like very I get distracted.

19:21 Shocker. Um, but whatever is going to help you focus and then have a silent study buddy.

19:26 A silent study buddy. Um, Hazel says I love the lo fi playlist.

19:31 Study playlist? Yes. Lo fi.

19:33 That's like that. I'm not even going to try to imitate it for you, but it's like a little groove. Um. It's cool.

19:38 My husband actually really likes that for, um, his what he has in the background for his work.

19:44 He's cooler than me. Lo fi is for cool people.

19:47 Um, a silent study buddy is when someone, you and someone else you know, agree to get together, hide your phones, and study.

19:53 You're not going to talk. You're going to hold each other accountable to the fact you're not going to talk. You feel bad because if you start talking, you're obviously failing your friend over there.

20:00 So a silent study buddy is just someone where you're going to get together, whether it's on zoom or it's you're going to a coffee shop together and you're going to silently study.

20:08 And the immense guilt of peer pressure is going to keep you focused.

20:12 So that's if you truly need help.

20:14 Um, and then feeling unprepared.

20:17 How would you guys, um, so you had great recommendations for that in terms of like how to kind of stay focused.

20:24 What do you think if you're unprepared.

20:27 Um, how are we going to feel this? If you just feel like I am never going to be ready and generally unprepared? Um. These are the kind of things that like life things, right? Prioritize. List all of your life to do's.

20:40 Um, a lot of part of feeling unprepared is feeling like you don't know where to prioritize, right? You're looking at it all and everything is screaming, I am the most important.

20:49 And you're like, oh, and I just can't do this.

20:52 And so you're not setting yourself up for success because you're trying to give everything like a tiny little nugget of attention when really these things need a lot more attention. Right? So we're going to list all of the to do's and priorities, and we're going to apply what I call the pie method okay.

21:05 So you're imagining your life requirements.

21:08 Are this pie okay. You only have so many pieces of the pie.

21:12 And you have too many people at the party that want a piece of this pie.

21:16 Okay? Because nursing school is very greedy. Your friends love you. You're cool. Your family loves you again.

21:20 You're great. Everyone wants a little piece of this, you up.I write, but we're going to have to divide the pie, and not everyone is going to get as much pie as they would like right now.

21:30 Okay, that is the tricky situation.

21:32 So who is going to get a slice of the pie? Nursing school is going to take a large chunk of your pie. Okay. Just give nursing school like half of your pie, maybe even more than half of your pie because it's just very greedy.

21:42 As we discussed, nursing school is very mean and scary. They steal half of your pie in the rest of this pie. If you what you what we want to focus on is you doing the activities you're going to do and like really doing them.

21:55 So we're not like, you know, giving anything half of our energy.

21:58 Right. Because that's going to leave you more like feeling just like, oh, if I'm giving everything like half an effort, you're going to keep feeling unprepared. Okay.

22:06 So you have let's just be generous and say you have half a pie left.

22:10 You probably have less than half a pie with how nursing school is. We know this. Your say your your family takes up another quarter of your pie.

22:18 Your social life or your, you know, takes up another little chunk and your part time job and you love crocheting.

22:24 I love crocheting, so you're going to love. Cathy was a social life.

22:28 I agree you love crocheting, so you need to have.

22:31 Like a little sliver of the pie for your crocheting.

22:34 You know, other things and then everything else has to go. Whether that is, you know, you used to. Exercise for an hour a day, whether that is you used to, you know, go out and do all of these like fun, different things. Your house used to be clean.

22:47 Does anyone remember that you used to cook? Um, you used to whatever all these things are, we no longer have any pie, so we're going to have to adjust, right? We're going to have to decide what is the most important part to you, what gets your pie and what is going to have to wait.

23:02 Okay. Because you cannot do everything, okay.

23:05 You just can't do everything. It's going to make you feel more unprepared when you like half do everything. Okay.

23:10 So everybody can let us know.

23:12 Like what? A lot. Jessica says three quarters of our pie, I think. I think you're probably right. Um, and then people are sharing, like Cathy does exercise daily. What are your other pieces of the pie that are like your must haves, because we're going to have to let some stuff go, but we're going to know that we're going to get it back one day. One day we're going to have a buffet, okay? We're not just going to have our pie. It's going to be a whole buffet. You're going to be able to do other things because life's going to open up again, right? Because nursing school is going to be gone. So you can fill up the other half of the pie. You know, you're just going to feel a lot more energized.

23:41 You can go everywhere.

23:42 But for right now, we're going to need to compromise and like, really give all your attention to what you can do and just let the rest go. You're going to want to sleep. Okay.

23:49 Everyone always likes to cram.

23:51 This was me. I was like, I'm just going to stay up all night and do all these things to try to study.

23:55 But sleeping is like really helpful to actually ingraining what you do know and reducing your body's stress.

24:01 Because if you're stressed, if your brain's stressed and your physical body is stressed, you're not going to remember anything, okay? Your body's just going to be unhappy because it's like you're trying to kill me and your body doesn't learn very well if it thinks it's trying to die.

24:13 Okay. That's just not helpful. Um, move your body.

24:15 This doesn't have to be. If you love exercise, perfect. If that's part of your pie, Awesome.

24:19 Go for it. If not, take the stairs.

24:22 Just move your body like wander around with flashcards.

24:24 Wander around while you're listening to your Lecturio lectures. Okay, um.

24:28 Just move your body in whatever way you feel is enjoyable.

24:31 A walk is perfectly fine.

24:32 Don't let anyone shame you for your walk.

24:34 Um. And eat like a fruit and a vegetable sometimes.

24:37 I don't know about you, but I eat a lot of peanut butter and jelly in college. Slash. Also today, um, just in general in life.

24:44 Eat a fruit every now and then.

24:45 Okay. Or a vegetable? Something like that.

24:48 Don't only eat. You know, I'm trying to think back to college.

24:51 I ate a lot of a lot of, um, rice crisps.

24:55 No. What is it? The peanut butter cup cereal.

24:57 Um, a lot of soup. Like ramen.

25:00 Um, and a lot of peanut butter and jelly. So, like, incorporate something else. Some good fuel for your body. Give yourself the time you need.

25:07 Todd says he loves fruit. That's perfect.

25:09 Um. Mayet says yes, I love exercise.

25:11 My goal was not to quit that.

25:13 Absolutely. Exercise was one of the things that, like I did in nursing school because it relieved a lot of stress too, and it actually helps your brain get more.

25:22 Kathy. It does give you endorphins, but it also like makes your brain make new connections. So Doctor or Prof.

25:28 Laws talks about this in one of her lectures. Again we'll link it at the end, but it makes your brain have more like sticky out points which lets new neurons connect to it. Sleep and exercise do that.

25:38 I did not know that until I watched that.

25:40 Um, so. Exactly, Shana, it'll help you retain information and it just kind of like, does something with the anxiety, right? Um, give yourself the time you need.

25:49 This is going to help you feel more prepared rather than you trying to squish everything in right until, like, this tiny, little tiny chunk of time, you're not going to be prepared. It feels like so much more doable if you're like, oh, wow. Like, I gave myself a lot of hours to do this, and maybe you have like half an hour left at the end, but giving yourself plenty of time.

26:08 I was really bad at this and I slowly have gotten better.

26:11 I way overestimate my ability to do things.

26:14 Um, and then it runs into crunch time.

26:18 And that's not only painful for me, it's painful for everyone else who's relying on you. So give yourself plenty of time.

26:23 Don't run into that problem.

26:24 And then at the end of the day, make a general plan for the next day. Have that to do list that very doable to do list, because if it's already there for you and put your clothes by your bed, okay, put your clothes by your bed so you just have to roll over, put the clothes on, make a very easy, easy breakfast. Make the coffee the night before.

26:41 This was also life changing.

26:43 All you have to do is hit the button in the morning, right? Um, I still do that to this day.

26:47 It's just like, the easier the caffeine can get in my body, the better clothes and a plan. Right. So you don't have to plan any of that. The next day when you wake up and you're like, oh my gosh, there's so much stuff. Yes, Lori, clothes, scrubs, anything like that.

26:59 Um, let me see. It helps retain info.

27:02 It also makes me happy and nice to be around Kathy.

27:04 She's talking about exercise.

27:06 I agree. Sometimes my children even tell me, like, you just need to go downstairs and ride your bike. I'm like, I probably should.

27:11 Um, so here's our second mantra, friends.

27:14 All right. Are you ready? Do you remember our first one? What was our first mantra? Somebody tell me. I'm just going to do the awkward silence until we.

27:22 You are not alone. Thanks, Sophia.

27:24 You kept us from being here. Good. Maya, you are enough, right? So you and your Pi.

27:30 Even though your Pi cannot accomplish everything your little heart might desire.

27:34 Because I get it. You know I get it.

27:35 You're going to have to let some stuff go.

27:37 Which is hard, because people aren't going to do it as good as you want it, right? Like you're like, um, where we learn a lot about delegation in nursing school and this is going to require some delegation, and they're not going to do it how you want to do it. Okay. But you're going to just embrace it and be like, thank you so much for helping us. So you're not alone.

27:51 But you are enough. Even though you can't do absolutely everything that has nothing to do with your worth, that has to do with you are a human and, um, you can only do so many things so well, right? Because our Pi runs out, so you are not.

28:05 You are enough. Never, ever, ever feel like you are not enough for setting boundaries and saying like, no, I can't do that. All you're doing is valuing yourself. You're going to feel more prepared and more focused and learn to do things really, really, really, really well.

28:17 Also. Good job everyone for remembering our first mantra.

28:21 Brittany says she's learned this in the past month due to a wrist surgery and finals from the previous term. Yeah, I hope your wrist is feeling better, but yes, a lot of times it takes like something kind of big to sort of like shift our mindset and be like, oh wow.

28:32 Like I. Yikes. Exactly.

28:34 Okay. Kathy saying she's putting her hubs in charge of her son's doing her special egg hunts on her in the morning. Yes, exactly.

28:41 I let my husband dress my children.

28:43 Okay. The outfits that I bought for them were very cute.

28:46 The way they're represented sometimes on their body is very different. Um, but, you know, it's one thing off of my hands.

28:51 And when school, you know, when life calms down, I'll be able to dress them. It'll be fine. But right now, can't do it. Megan said we are enough. Something I've really worked on believing as a second career nursing student and a human. Exactly. Shayna.

29:02 It's okay to delegate.

29:03 Yes. So repeat those two.

29:05 Okay. I'm not alone. And I am enough.

29:08 And like, really believe it. Because if you believe you're enough, You're going to believe you are capable, right? That there's nothing wrong with setting boundaries and that like doing your thing that you're doing well, like, doesn't mean you have to do everything, okay. You you don't have to do absolutely everything.

29:23 You can just put all of your effort into what you're doing. So now we know kind of what we're struggling with.

29:28 You know, we've we're feeling anxious. We're feeling overwhelmed. We've realized like what we could do to kind of fix it.

29:34 Now let's go into how like the strategy part, right where I said, I'm going to actually give you things to like help you be able to digest it better. So we're moving into that.

29:46 I probably could have had a better transition there. Um, who feels now that we know what we need to focus our studying on, we have another poll who feels that they actually know how to study a you feel very confident, b you feel like a little bit confident, and c you don't feel confident at all.

30:02 I'm going to mute and take a sip of.

30:11 Okay. I feel a little confident.

30:14 68% of you feel very confident.

30:18 31% of you don't feel very confident at all.

30:20 I think that's a yeah, pretty much what I would expect because it's, you know, a lot in the middle being like, hey like sort of know some things, right. But not all the way.

30:29 So remember, I mean look at all these answers, right.

30:31 Far like only 6% of you feel very confident.

30:34 So 94% of you are like, I could definitely use help with this.

30:37 You're not alone. You are not alone.

30:39 It's not you. It's. It's the system.

30:41 Um, so we are going to this I'm going to give you some techniques for studying that really break down. Like very simply, every single time you learn something, you can apply this. Okay.

30:53 Every single time you learn a new concept, I want you to pause from whatever you're learning, whether you're listening to, like, a lecture from your teacher or from Lecturio, whether you're reading something in a book or you just hear it in a podcast, I want you to pause after you hear a little fun, you know, nugget of wisdom and think, what would the safety implications of this be? Right. Because nursing school is all about safety, right? That's what your tests are actually testing you on. If you look at what the NCLEX and what your nursing exams are asking you is, are you safe? Right. Um, because nursing school doesn't really prepare you to be like a nurse necessarily, like walking out on the floor flawlessly, performing your job. It's making sure that you are safe to go learn how to be a nurse.

31:36 Right. So reframing that in itself is huge and lowers the expectation of like what you need to know. But as you're learning every single thing, what would the safety implication of this be? We're going to run through a couple of examples. Okay. You are in a lecture and you find this little fun nugget of knowledge.

31:55 Um, beta blockers may cause dizziness.

31:58 Okay. So what are some examples of safety thoughts that come up to you when you read? Beta blockers may cause dizziness.

32:05 How could an exam ask you about this or what kind of topic? Sophia. Fall risk? Exactly.

32:12 I'm really glad you went there because that's where my brain went to. Orthostatic hypertension falling. Exactly.

32:17 So now we're going to.

32:18 The more you Link these, the more your brain is naturally going to link them to make sure the person has a support person, railings, etc. take their blood pressure pulse before giving fall um, fall risk. Glory rise slowly.

32:30 Um, exactly. So all of these things, you know, you read it. My education.

32:35 Exactly. And you guys already know all of this stuff, right? Lordy, advise the patient not to stand up too fast.

32:40 You already know this. You've learned beta blockers may cause dizziness, and you're associating with all these other thoughts. So when the test comes around and asks you, they're already popping in your head because you've already made these connections in your brain. Right. And it's probably going to give you another like piece of information or two, and you're putting all the pieces together when you're studying.

32:58 We're not waiting to put the pieces together when you're taking the exam.

33:02 So my thought was also the patient is a fall risk.

33:04 They should implement fall precautions if that's appropriate. Be conscious if these meds are given with other meds.

33:09 Right. Do the exact same thing that are going to lower your blood pressure, lower your heart rate.

33:14 Will want to be careful of that okay. So if say they give you another med and they're like hey we're going to combine this with, I don't even know, something else that lowers your heart rate. Right. We're going to be like, oh, wait, wait wait wait wait wait. And we're going to be on the lookout for that, right? Let's do another one. You read, um, pulmonary embolism is a blood clot in the lung.

33:34 It causes dyspnea, diaphoresis, chest pain and hypotension.

33:38 What are some safety thoughts that we're thinking like surrounding these? What are some potential situations that we might see.

33:46 What are we going to want to know.

33:49 Like is this an emergency. Is this not an emergency? Um, is this something that is going to be the most priority, um, watching people with a lung history choking.

33:58 Okay, so these are all symptoms that also might, like, mimic this.

34:02 Um, Exactly. So monitor their vitals.

34:04 Yes. We're going to want to monitor their vitals really closely. How are we going to keep people with a pulmonary embolism safe? Breath sounds. Be prepared because this is emergent.

34:13 Yes. Provide fluid for the diaphoresis.

34:16 Watch the SATs and monitor elevate their head.

34:18 Yes. So these are all things.

34:20 And when I'm thinking of safety, I'm thinking, how urgent is this? Is this something that I can walk out of the room, go and grab a blanket and come back in like if the patient needs it? Is this like a true, true emergency? Am I calling a code? Am I calling a rapid response? How am I responding? What do I think this patient and I always imagine when I'm reading this like it describes to you, they have dyspnea, they're diaphoretic. They have chest pain. What does this patient look like? Right. Because a lot of the times in our exam questions, it's going to lay out this patient who's sitting there in the bed and it's going to give you like what they kind of look like.

34:53 And I like to imagine it beforehand.

34:55 So when I see it again I can know this is what they look like.

34:58 This is what I would do first and then this is maybe an anticipated reaction to it, right? Um, have oxygen handy.

35:07 Ride the head of the bed.

35:08 Exactly. You guys are doing so good.

35:10 So you know so much more than I think.

35:12 You think. You know, if that makes sense.

35:14 Um, this patient, you know, what would it exactly? What would I, um, this patient look like if I found them, they would be sitting in bed.

35:21 They would probably be doing something like this, you know, because they're having chest pain. They're kind of hunched over. They're sweating, they're pale.

35:28 They don't look well. They're in distress. What kind of vitals would they have? Like like I said, they would have a low blood pressure. Um, and this is an emergency.

35:35 Just like Kathy had said.

35:37 Um, they are in an emergency.

35:39 Yes. What is the number one safety thing you would need to do in this situation? You would get help because the first thing you do, you wouldn't intervene. You need to have someone else come in and diagnose this and help you get help.

35:50 Right. So the safest thing here is recognizing the symptoms, which you guys did and then getting help.

35:57 So that would actually be the first thing is notify the provider. Get someone in there to help. Let's do another one.

36:02 Um, this is not to sound.

36:06 Um. Jessica says not to sound ignorant, but shouldn't it have been an emergency requiring the embolism to be handled something before.

36:12 Before it goes wrong? So, yes.

36:15 But the big thing here is they're going to be, um, like you said, like it's an emergency. So the big thing we want to know is, hey, how do what's the first thing we do in an emergency is we get help, right? Um, so here's another one.

36:26 This will be our last one like this.

36:27 But you kind of see how the pattern is going, right where you learn a fun fact, and then you think all these things related to you, you can type it out, you can write it out. You can just, like, work through it in your hand. You read c.diff is a pathogen that is transmitted via droplets on surfaces where it can live for days, and it is only killed by bleach, and you have already hit like pretty much all of them.

36:47 Right, Lori, you're going to need to do hand hygiene.

36:50 Cathy, not hand sanitizer.

36:51 Correct? Cathy. Fecal.

36:53 Um, it's a virus. Watch the linen and get, um, watch linens. Contact precautions.

36:59 Exactly. Gown and glove wash with soap.

37:01 Right? Because when you have c-diff, you're not going to wash your hand. You're not going to use hand sanitizer. Like you guys said, you have to wash with soap.

37:08 So you already got all of them.

37:09 It's going to be asking you in order to prevent to spread of infection, you would need protection, right? Because we don't want to spread the c-diff. What kind of protection do we need? Contact precautions. You guys got that? Um, sanitizing with bleach wipes.

37:21 Because that's the only thing that's going to kill it. And how do you keep this from spreading to others? You're going to wash your hands. You can't use hand sanitizer. You already knew all of that.

37:29 You guys already knew all of it.

37:30 And we just have to, like, connect those dots because the question isn't going to ask you, right? Hey, what is c-diff? It's going to say the patient has c-diff.

37:37 What are you going to do to keep them safe? What are you going to do to keep the other patients on your unit safe? Right. So soap with friction cleans the germs.

37:45 Yes, but in the hospital, you always use bleach.

37:48 Um, I don't know if your question would ask that, but your question, that's what you would actually use is bleach.

37:53 And this is where I run into trouble because I practiced. And then now, like, I can't do any questions because I'm like, well, that's not what we do in real life. But you guys get the point. Um, so nursing school, what have we learned so far that you can identify what our feelings are? We can work through them and kind of target our education and our studying around so that we can work to kind of work through those fears and not let them, like, totally overwhelm us.

38:19 Um, and the last thing is we have to think differently.

38:23 We can't just memorize facts. We have to look for the safety implications of it, because nursing school is really hard, and a lot of it has to do with because it doesn't come right out and it asks you the information you studied directly. It asks you to use that information and go like 12 steps ahead and see what's going.

38:40 They're getting you to critically think exactly. You're growing your minds. You're looking at a higher level.

38:44 So it's really hard. But you know what you can do? You can do hard things.

38:47 Okay, so there's our third mantra.

38:49 So now we have all three.

38:50 You are not alone. You are enough.

38:53 And you can do hard things because you all just did it. You guys, like, flawlessly gave you me literally every single thing that I was already thinking.

39:00 And you know, you can do hard things because you're already here. You just worked through all those problems. You already got into nursing school, you have just survived life until this point. You've done so many hard things to get here. You can do nursing school and you can do finals. Okay, so that is essentially everything we have going through that part.

39:17 I wanted to show you where we do have all these other free lectures, and then we'll do some Q and A's. Um, if you go on to our Lecturio website, I think we will be emailing you, I believe the link.

39:28 So you'll everyone will get a follow up email. It'll have the link to this whole recording if you want to watch it or part of it again.

39:33 Um, and they will put in the link to this entire playlist of, we call them mentoring sessions.

39:41 Um, you can see them here if you're on the menu.

39:43 It's these recordings of our live study and nursing mentoring sessions.

39:46 These are free for absolutely everyone.

39:48 And then on the right hand side, these are all of the events which are all amazing, by the way. Um.

39:54 Event 11 How to Survive Nursing School with Nurse Liz, part two. That's where we really, really break down, um, with like how to attack a choose all that apply question when it's like nursing school is like, hey, how orange is this orange? And you're like, what? What? Do what? Um, so that's where you find that.

40:15 Um, this also if you're going if you have farm this semester just to kind of review some of these, um, if you have farm there's event number three pharmacology for NCLEX.

40:25 Um, pharmacology um event eight and nine farm crash course with Dom Prof.

40:29 Laws. Watch all three of those.

40:31 And that is literally the um Prof laws.

40:34 If you haven't watched her she does all of the like patho and pharm.

40:38 She teaches those in real life in a nursing school and she is phenomenal with how she breaks things down. Um, but she that is her studies thing that like her study sessions that she holds for her students.

40:51 Exactly, Laura. She's awesome for her actual classes.

40:54 So if you watch those three events, like I said, they're free. Um, I really do think like, that's a good example of her teaching style.

41:00 She teaches a ton of our different modules.

41:03 Um, she's just great. Um, but that is a great thing to review for farm.

41:09 Um, like I said, if you have dosage calculations, event number one, that one is great.

41:14 Um, look at these for a minute while I have another drink.

41:26 And. Yeah. Thanks. Apparently, I can't talk very long before, um. I need a drink of water.

41:34 Okay. So. Questions? Feel free to leave those in the questions sphere here.

41:41 Um, these are the plan, um, prices.

41:44 Again, if you're interested in getting Lecture, I really do think that it's a super great, um, option for just like a study thing that kind of, like, keeps you accountable and, like, guides you along.

41:56 It's like everything I wish I would have had, um, if you guys don't know. So I like, do a lot of nursing school type like content on the internet. And I work with Lecturio because it's literally everything that I want. I wanted to create.

42:08 And then I found out it already exists.

42:10 Um, so I was like, I'm just going to go work with them instead because this is like, I can't compete against it. So, um, I'm just going to do this so that, like, it is a legit I highly, highly recommend it.

42:21 Um, so Cathy, thank you for everyone for coming and chatting.

42:26 Let me see. I'm going to go.

42:29 Perfect. Okay. I found the question tab.

42:31 I've never navigated this by myself, so it's a big day for me.

42:34 Um, let's see, are there any Mia asked are there any NCLEX or surgical teaching review sessions from Lecturio? So there are surgical teaching.

42:46 We have med surge. Is that what you mean? We don't have a, like, surgery module per se, because it goes more by.

42:53 I know things are moving to like concept based.

42:55 Um, and we're we have some we're working on introducing like a concept based type of thing. So you could search via that. But we have within med surg they have like all of your typical like surgical type of stuff.

43:08 Um let me see. Oh how do I make okay.

43:12 Finish answering. Perfect. Um, can someone direct me to this is from Andrea.

43:18 Can someone direct me to where to find the community module? I'm searching for them. I'm not able to locate them.

43:24 That one is. So. Community is coming out within.

43:28 It'll be out before the next semester.

43:30 I think they're releasing some of the videos starting next month.

43:34 Um, and it will be called Public Health.

43:36 That one is there were a few that were adding this year.

43:38 So we're finishing up pedes.

43:40 Um, we are doing public health um, diversity equity and inclusion is coming.

43:47 So those are all like starting to roll out next week.

43:50 But if you have that next semester we will have it ready for that.

43:54 Um any topics? Woodlands said any topics related to stress and pain? There's a lot on stress, and we do have pain ones and all the different pain meds and what they're good for and how to assess it.

44:03 Um, those are going to be in stretched between like fundamentals of nursing pharmacology. Um, patho um, physiology even probably has some when you're talking about like the stress and stuff on what that does to your.

44:24 Um let me see community best way.

44:27 Andrea asked what is the best way to study Pharm? Um, Pharm has we have a very robust pharm section.

44:36 That's another one that Prof. Laws teaches. She did a great job with Pharm.

44:40 Honestly, it's just like going through doing questions, doing critical thinking.

44:44 Um, ours we have our farm course is like fully built out.

44:47 So you could say like, hey, I need to know all of my anti-infectives by two Fridays from now and it will plan it out for you and then quiz you on it.

44:54 So I think that's a really great way.

44:56 But with farm, the key is identifying the last part of the Word.

45:00 Right. So the parts that are the same, um lisinopril um enalapril, seeing that those, those are going to be the same, you know, this is going to be in the same class and then clumping things.

45:10 So instead of memorizing individual details, clumping the info and memorizing like the class info is going to be the most important.

45:19 Um, do you have Christie said.

45:22 Do you have anything on how to study like different study strategies? Yes. So if you go to um.

45:31 This there is a whole study skills playlist, um, that Prof. Laws teaches.

45:36 If you have the um, premium version that is going to be available and on here she has a couple that talk about it.

45:44 Um, you know, different supercharger test taking strategies for your end of course exam that's going to learn more, study less.

45:51 She talked a lot about it in there.

45:53 Um, any of these, like she's going to touch on it.

45:57 And then if you have the premium version, if you have the free version, you'll have a few videos of study skills.

46:01 But if you have the premium version, she has an entire playlist and prop laws is um, actual doctorate is in learning science.

46:08 So she is really good at knowing how your brain actually learns and providing content in a way that's very digestible and not so it's just going to like fly over your head and she gives you a ton of different strategies. Um, and she's pretty great and that's awesome.

46:23 Um, are there, Maia said.

46:27 Are there, um, study sessions for each body system from Lecturio.

46:32 So it breaks down like basically, yes, you can just search in the search bar and it'll give you a playlist.

46:39 So you can either watch it like kind of what we think is a playlist.

46:42 Or you can make your own or you can like type in kidney or liver and all of our kidney and all of our liver videos will show up.

46:48 So you can watch it that way.

46:49 And that'll be more of a mix of like medicine, physiology, anatomy, pharmacology, like all in one playlist.

46:56 Or you can search by class by body system.

46:58 You can do it both ways.

47:00 Uh, what is the best for critical care? There's going to be advanced parts.

47:07 So it'll say like in med surg it'll be like advanced so and so.

47:10 And that's going to help you with critical care.

47:13 Um, and I think that's we've incorporated it into it like that way we don't have a specific module for critical care.

47:20 Um, but that would be a good thing to add.

47:23 But right now it's just in the all the other ones and it's just called advanced. So like advanced cardiac assessment.

47:27 And that's going to teach you like even more about this. It's going to, you know, go into all the different, um, concepts that are within it that are just at a more advanced level.

47:36 Those are going to be really helpful for critical care.

47:39 Um, let me see. Maggie said.

47:43 I'm new to Lecturio. I've only been using it a few weeks. However, I'm having a hard time finding some of the topics that are being taught at my school. You can always email customer service to reach out to them and just say you need help mapping some of your content, and they should be able to help you.

47:56 The customer service is really, really great.

47:58 Um, they want to help you, you know, so they and they will sit there and they'll map out like, hey, this is your class.

48:04 This is kind of your syllabus. If you're having a hard time comparing it and they'll help you. Um, I've helped them like work through some of those so I know that they do do that. So reach out to the customer service team and they can help you figure out the best way to map it. Kind of how to set up your study schedule.

48:19 Um, and like what topics to be looking for.

48:23 Some of it's by topic.

48:24 Um, I know some schools lay it out a little bit differently, so that's when things can get a little bit like harder, but definitely reach out to them and they will walk you through it. Um, I am new to Lecturio and having trouble finding more topics.

48:38 Um, more like GI topics.

48:41 Um, I would do the same thing. I would reach out to them and ask, and then they can show you kind of like how to search for it.

48:46 Gi topics are going to be mostly in, um, med surg and in pharmacology.

48:53 Um, those are going to be the two big ones.

48:55 In terms of that, I just did.

48:57 I was just looking at one of those last week, actually. So reach out to them. Um, for anything where you're like, hey, I don't know if you have this. And then we have a whole team of people that help match up so that you actually get to, you know, use the product to the best of your advantage. Um, so never feel hesitant about reaching out to them. They're very, very nice. Um, and they don't mind at all.

49:16 That's why we're there. Um, okay, let me see if I can get back.

49:20 Oh, click out of that.

49:22 Okay. Perfect. Um, Shayna, thanks for coming.

49:24 She has zoom class for now. Thank you for being here.

49:27 Um, I think is that all of the questions? Um. Elizabeth. Oh, you have a great name.

49:34 I enjoyed this a lot. I'm a nursing professor from North Carolina. Looking for tips to give my students this summer? Oh. That's awesome. Um, thank you for coming. And, um, we love that.

49:44 And, Elizabeth, reach out if you, um, send us an email if you want to talk more about working together with schools because we do events, like with schools. Um, we also are always looking, you know, just to, like, connect with any of you who, if you really like it and you want to tell your friends about it, we have all sorts of like ambassador programs, um, and all sorts of stuff where you can get like discounts and fun things if you bring your friends.

50:09 Um, but definitely Elizabeth, um, reach out if you are interested in doing anything with your school.

50:15 Um, because we have a whole different world for, well, actually, partner, like with your school, um, and it's it's pretty cool.

50:22 Um, I'm very bad at that sales pitch because I only had to give it once before Prof. Laws pulled me over and she was like, here, I'm going to take it from here. So I was like, I am a student person, not a teacher person.

50:31 So, um, I don't know that side.

50:34 So thanks everyone for coming.

50:35 Again, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to customer service.

50:38 You can comment on the lectures and we'll always reach back.

50:42 Um, I appreciate you coming to all of our our live thing.

50:48 Definitely. Look in your email if you want to see the replay of it.

50:51 Um, and you have your discount, I want to say for 24 hours, but that might be totally wrong.

50:57 Um, and that's going to give you Lecturio for one year for $99.

51:01 So if that's wrong, I am so sorry, but I believe it's one day Kate or someone will probably set me straight. But thank you so much.

51:08 Oh, we do try to do these events like once a month. Kate saying as long as you're, um, um, as long as you're at least a free member, you'll always get an email invite. Yes, 24 hours.

51:17 Good. I didn't lie to everyone.

51:18 That's wonderful. So thanks for being here.

51:21 Um, I'm not gonna lie, I don't know how to end this, so I appreciate all of you being here.
