• EP 77 - Osteoporosis

  In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor, DNP, CPNP, CCRN breaks down osteoporosis by starting at the source—how healthy bones remodel themselves through the balance of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and what happens when that balance shifts. You’ll walk through the hormonal players (estrogen, PTH, calcitonin, and vitamin D), why post-menopausal clients are highest risk, and how bone density loss leads to vertebral compression fractures, height changes, and increased fracture risk. Through a real-world case study, you’ll connect symptoms like shrinking height and back pain to DEXA results, lab findings, and the nursing priorities that follow. This episode is especially helpful for nursing students learning musculoskeletal disorders, NCLEX® test-takers reviewing chronic conditions and safety priorities, and new-to-practice nurses who need clear teaching points for patients managing bone health at home. A quick listen with high-yield takeaways—no cramming required. Find everything Archer Review has to offer: ⁠⁠archerreview.link/PulseCheck⁠⁠ Use code PULSECHECK10 - an exclusive discount just for our listeners! Connect with us!  📸 Instagram: @archernursing 📘 Facebook: Archer NCLEX Review 🎵 TikTok: @archernursing ▶️ YouTube: Archer Review NCLEX, USMLE, TEAS7, and FNP

• EP 76 - Graves Disease

  In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor, DNP, CPNP, CCRN breaks down Graves disease, the most common cause of hyperthyroidism, in a way that actually makes sense. In under 15 minutes, you’ll walk through the HPT axis, how autoantibodies hijack the thyroid, why TSH is low when T3 and T4 are high, and how that all translates into classic symptoms like weight loss, heat intolerance, tremors, anxiety, tachycardia, and exophthalmos. You’ll also connect lab findings to the real-life case of a patient who feels like a “hummingbird” and learn what red flags to watch for as hyperthyroidism progresses. This episode is ideal for nursing students learning endocrine content for the first time, NCLEX® preppers trying to lock in the difference between hypo- and hyperthyroidism, and new grads who want a clear framework for teaching patients about meds like methimazole, beta blockers, eye protection, and when to worry about thyroid storm. Find everything Archer Review has to offer: ⁠⁠archerreview.link/PulseCheck⁠⁠ Use code PULSECHECK10 - an exclusive discount just for our listeners! Connect with us!  📸 Instagram: @archernursing 📘 Facebook: Archer NCLEX Review 🎵 TikTok: @archernursing ▶️ YouTube: Archer Review NCLEX, USMLE, TEAS7, and FNP
