    El curso “Insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva para enfermería y NCLEX” fue muy completo y bien estructurado. Explica de forma clara la fisiopatología, diagnóstico y cuidados esenciales. Me ayudó a reforzar conceptos importantes para la práctica clínica y para el examen. Solo mejoraría algunos ejemplos prácticos, pero en general quedé muy satisfecho con el contenido.
  • Sani Umar
    This course is so amazing beyond imagination. It has simplified the concept of heart faulure to the simplest level despite its difficulties. The most important thing it summerises is the concept of the heart failure itself, its types i.e RHF and LHF. It also summerises how to differentiate between the two types based on the symptoms of each of the types. The courae is indeed so amazing
