    The Big Sandy Girl’s Basketball team is heading to the state basketball tournament for the first time in 15 years. The girls team has spent the last week and a half resting, getting healthy, and preparing for their trip to Great Falls to face off against the top ranked teams in Montana.

    Early I interviewed, Cheyenne Feltz, DNP PMHNP-BC, the most recent provider at the Big Sandy Medical Center. Feltz is the new mental health provider, who is a Board Certified (BC) Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a Doctor of Nursing (DNP). After the interview she gave me a sheet that I found extremely interesting. I knew nothing about Neurotransmitter. After reading this sheet it frustrates me to hear people say we should all just “buck up” or pull ourselves up by our boot straps. So many of the issues of my fri...
