After entering nursing school with a 4.0 GPA I am barely pulling B's and C's after studying night and day. I've been reading and re-reading my text books trying to force various concepts to sink in. I stumbled upon your videos and two hours later (after falling down the rabbit hole and watching many of your videos) I think I finally understand Critical Thinking. Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom in a much more relatable way than a seven pound Nursing Process textbook.
Chantal Tilbrook, that is AWESOME!!!! 😊 We're so happy to hear that the videos helped you so much! Also, so happy you fell down the rabbit hole and watched so many hooray! :) Would you be okay with us using your kind words as a testimonial to help spread the word about NursingSOS?! Please let us know if you are comfortable with this!
I passed anatomy and physiology with A’s then it came to my first exam in nursing school and I barely passed with a C. I was lacking the critical thinking! Half way through the semester and I developed better study habits but wasn’t fully there. Then I found your videos and they have saved me! Thank you for all that you do (: I got a B on my most recent test and hoping to keep going higher!
How you study to improve your critical thinking. I am in the same situation I am barely passing and facing many problemas because English is not my first language so, I have to deal with a lot. If you can provide me some tips would be so helpful. Thank you
You're amazing for taking the time to help other nursing students! I watch as many videos as I can to help better understand all the material. I want to be a successful nurse and understand what i'm doing not just reading from a text book. Thank you again!
Thank you for letting us know you loved this video, jonathan bouchard. 😊 Our favorite part of our day is hearing about how our resources have helped YOU! Your support means the world to us. 😁
I have been failing SO BAD in med surg. I saw your video for the first time yesterday. You rock!!! I finally understand critical thinking. I have hope. Thank you SO much!!
I know I am on the waitlist but I have a lot on my plate currently so this free content is really helping me to get the basics and foundations to stay current in nursing knowledge. I fully plan to become a member when the timing is right and the finances are as well.
I personally keep reading ma text books nyt and day and even have discussions with my colleagues but ive actually realised that am understanding little and cramming alot but thank God after resorting to watching ur videos am now understanding to de climax....Am hoping to be a shining nurse in both school and clinical world
Just recently found and subscribed to your videos…you’ve explained more in this 13 minute video than any of my professors all semester long…subscribed to your program 🙌🏾🤞🏾
So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, GBHot28, and that you are finding the other helpful too! YAY! 😊 We LOVE hearing how our resources helped you feel more confident in your knowledge! Hope you have a fantastic day, GBHot28. 😀
Your videos has helped me through my first semester with an A and B. I am currently using your videos to prepare for Med Surg. You are helping me remove the anxiety so I can walk in there with confidence. Thank you so much for all your hard work, you are truly appreciated!!!!

That is awesome, CDACS Career! ❤️ So glad you find our resources helpful for your students! Thank you for being here!! Your support means the WORLD to us! ❤️
I have a feeling these videos are gonna save my life in nursing school. I can't wait to take a practice exam using this video and the test tips video. I just finished my first week and have failed the majority of my posttests and quizzes, which is hard for me because I'm a 4.0 student. Thank you so much for the advice!
It definitely takes time to develop that skill and be able to put everything together. Keep practicing, and don't give up!!! You'll get better every day! :)
OMG am so happy i stumble across your videos and had to subscribe to your channel. I just started medsurg a week ago and my professor is really sweet but she doesn't give us the information that we really need to know during lecture, so i really need to read majority of the materials from my textbook. I was so confused and overwhelm on how to read the huge medsurg textbook and what areas to really focus on. Thanks to your videos on how to study in medsurg and the critical thinking in nursing school, I now feel to confident and ready to start studying for medsurg. I really needed these information and feel for confident to continue my nursing career, looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks!
Yay! We're so glad you loved this video, and that it helped you! Would you be willing to let us use this comment as a testimonial?! Thanks for being here, Caroline Kima! Your support means the world to us. :)

Woohoo! Thanks for letting us know you loved the video, Rozay Linda! We're so happy to hear that! :) Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a video! Happy you are here!
I just stumbled on your AMAZING videos! I definitely need this information right now, as I'm pulling Cs right now in nursing school. Thank you so much! I laughed when you said what you did about critical thinking and nursing! When I started school, I didn't even know what MOA meant! 🤣
I would like to add that as a key part of critical thinking is clear and direct awareness of the *complete* list of cognitive biases, memory biases, and logical fallacies. Obviously not memorized but you should have read the entire thing to get a feel for exactly how little confidence we should have in our logical reasoning. We aren't really doing critical thinking if we aren't aware of quite a bit of detail on the pitfalls of critical thinking.
Based on Critical thinking, it includes two main points which is Planning ahead and connecting the dots to everything. Always planning on how to make a next move, supplies, food, gowns, assessments, give meds, flush ivy’s whenever u walked into the patients room. Connecting the dots has to do with comparing and contrasting everything of disease process, effects, and symptoms. An example of connecting the dots is ( begin with; D- definition or description of the topic R- reason for the topic ( rationelle on why it happened ) C- Connection to everything that happenes ) Example of a cardiac system: describe the cardiac system, gv the reason for the importance of the cardiac system here the blood is rich in nutrients and oxygen and without it the heart will fail, blood take away waste products, how does it connect with everything, it affects two main areas which are the lungs and the kidney . It sends blood to this body parts and if blood is pumping well, they function normally but if blood doesn’t pump appropriately it causes disorders beginning with the lungs and the kidney hence will be filled with fluid in the lungs and u will hear crackles, when u use your stethoscope 🩺, Patient will have problems breathing due to inappropriate gas exchange. On the cardiac side, if blood isn’t going to the rest of the body including the kidney, nurse is expected to see? There will be a decrease in the iron output, this will cause a difficulty in determining patients pulses, hands will be cold too.

Thank you so much. I have taking 2 ICU Skills Test for a Travel Company, and did not pass the test. So I really hope your videos will help me pass the next ICU Skills Test. One problem is I cannot look what I did from the 2 test, therefore what should I do?
Keep reviewing, focus on the areas you feel you can improve on or may not be fully confident in critically thinking through. You CAN do this, @SherryLeonard!! Don't give up!

The DRC model is meant to help you get into the mindset of critical thinking. It is supposed to help you learn how to apply what you are studying, which is what most of the NCLEX style questions are looking for. Making sure you know how to apply what you have learned! Thanks for being here, Adriana Ramirez!
Interesting concept with DRC. Just found your channel and haven’t had a chance to search through what you have. Have you talked about Tanner’s Clinical Judgement Model for critical thinking? Nice content!
@@NursingSOS Thank you! Tanner is what I teach my students for critical thinking and clinical reasoning. This along with clinical judgement will be the new testing format for NCLEX in the next couple of years.
Hey NIATHENURSE LOVESBEINGANURSE! So sorry about that! You can find that cheat sheet and so many more right here: nursingschoolofsuccess.com/signup We hope you LOVE them!!
We are super stoked that you are interested in the NursingSOS Membership Community! It will help you out so much in nursing school!!! :) We have 2 pricing options for you to choose from: paying monthly at $39 per month, or paid annually at $390 per year (which gives you 2 months free!) Thanks for being here, Simply Melanin!
Yes, we have several LPN students who have found the resources inside the Membership SUPER helpful! Now, the biggest difference is that our resources have more information than you would need, such as care plans and nursing assessment videos, which will not be part of your LPN program. So you can just focus on the videos that apply to what you're studying, and you will be GOLDEN!
@@NursingSOS Your material is very helpful. I'm from Los Angeles & I graduated from summit career college in Anaheim. They closed that location. Ever since then I gave up it's been 12 years since I took the NCLEX but I need refreshers on all the subjects. I wish your material was available years ago. Better now than never though. A wise person told me & she also was a nurse she said some of the best nurses didn't pass the first time & she said don't be discouraged stay focused and keep going. She reassured me to retest & not give up if it wasn't for her I would have still given up. I'm so glad I found your videos Christina they are so much help. Also I would like to apologize to you for asking that personal question about if you were in California. I don't know why but you are giving Cali vibes that's the only reason I asked. However I do apologize. I don't want to seem like a creep lol. ☺️
I just watched your video and I found them helpful as am getting into the nursing program inn fall. I just subscribed to be following you. Can you please let me know the videos I can watch that will be helpful for me to pass my fundamentals and other classes going forward.
Thanks for letting us know you loved this video, Ojei Princewill! This is a whole playlist with videos that would help with fundamentals: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gs5r5KwbUcU.html Your support means the world to us! :)
