CARDIAC NURSE TIPS: HEART FAILURE 101❤️‍🩹

There are so many misconceptions about heart failure in the nursing field that nursing school doesn’t teach you.

When I worked inpatient, I didn't realize that there were treatments used to actually remodel the heart and improve the ejection fraction. I didn't realize that lasix wasn't the only medication for heart failure, and in fact, that is only for symptom control! There are so many different types of heart failure that require different treatments, and it is a very complex disease. There is nothing more satisfying than see someone with heart failure get better and back to their baseline.
