This video discusses how to study for medical surgical nursing as a nursing student in nursing school. These tips will help guide you on how to study for lecture exams and give you insight on how to pass med surg nursing. The reasons students struggle with medical surgical nursing is because the exam questions are NCLEX style questions (not fact based), the class requires you to understand the material rather than memorize it, and it is the first nursing class that requires you to put everything together from Pathophysiology, Pharmacology, Nursing Fundamental etc.

I wanted to say thank you and let everyone know that with the help of your videos and study guides and encouragement I have passed both of my Med Surge classes as well as every other Nursing class I have taken. I am two classes away from becoming a Nurse and I cannot thank you enough for your help. Your videos have been instrumental in helping me get through this and grasp a better understanding of it all. I will continue to use your videos for my last two classes and even as a refresher as I begin to work. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos...You are truly appreciated.

@RegisteredNurseRN 7 лет назад

Hello Terri :) You have been a viewer from a long time now, and it is so AWESOME to hear the videos have helped you. I can't believe you are almost done with nursing school. It seems like yesterday you were sharing my videos with all the nursing students in SC hehe. I can't wait to hear you passed NCLEX and are a nurse....those next two classes will be over before you know it. THANK YOU again for this kind comment...it really meant a lot to me to read it.

@RegisteredNurseRN 7 лет назад

Very awesome you will be taking med-surg next semester....it really isn't that bad as long as you stay organized and study. I found that people who struggle in this class tend to rush and study at last minute, which doesn't give them a lot of time to digest the material. As I stressed in the video, get a study guide book and practice NCLEX style questions in the content material you are studying prior to exams....this helps a lot! Also, don't forget to check out my lecture tutorials and free review quizzes that will help you in this class as well: ru-vid.com/group/PLQrdx7rRsKfWwTsEG3KPPQx9rWa8AqMIk I wish you the best :) I hope you enjoy your winter break, and have a very Merry Christmas!

@babyface2b 8 лет назад

I'm in med surge right now. We just had a test on the respiratory system and I did not do so well. Previous students who mad my teacher for med surge told me to read EVERYTHING, that's the only way to pass. When my teacher lectures, she does tells us what will be on the test. But it seems like some things she says will be on the test or not on theres and what she says will not be on the test is. So I guess I do have to read the whole book. But I have to pass all my next test otherwise I wont pass. Also, she does not teach from powerpoints everything is off the top of her head.The first test was just getting a feel of how shestests. 5 more to go. wish me luck

@RegisteredNurseRN 8 лет назад

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience in med. surg....it is a tough class...I remember taking it as a nursing student. There is so much to know in such a short amount of time. Personally, I think the best way to study is to use a study guide book specifically for medical surgical nursing and practice NCLEX medical surgical questions on the systems you will be tested on prior to the exam. I didn't spend time reading my textbook word for word (it wastes valuable time you could be spending studying other material). Are you using any type of study guide book (like Saunders or Mary Ann Hogan) to help you prep for the exams? These books break down exactly what you need to know from a nursing stand point and focuses on material that will be on exams. I wish you the best and hang in there...I know it is rough ;-)

Personally, I would go with the latest one because it is the most up-to-date with the current version of NCLEX. BUT if you need to save money you could go with the one before the most current, but I wouldn't go any older than that :)

First...You are amazing! My total inspiration going into RN school. Second & Lastly, I purchased the Saunders comprehensive NCLEX-RN examination book, but Edition 7. Would that still be a good book? or should I try to find the 4th edition you mentioned. Thank you

Hello Kammy :) Thank you so much for watching the videos. When purchasing this book I would always go with the latest edition they sell because it has the latest information in it. I hope that helps :) Best wishes with your nursing journey!

Awesome video! I've been searching online for the Saunders study guide but I cannot find it! What's a good website for purchase?

@RegisteredNurseRN 6 лет назад

Amazon usually has the best deal. I would check there :)

thank you for the info. Im having trouble with the exams. i studied(with all the resources i have) and feel prepared for the exam, but the score is not equal to the amount effort i put in. It is really frustrating. my professor told me that im a very concrete person, it may be one of the reasons that im having trouble with the exam questions. any tip?

+Zhitian Li Thanks for your question! I totally understand! Med-surg is a difficult class and many students struggle with it (so you're not alone). To help you start thinking critically rather than concrete, I recommend that before each exam that you practice 100s of NCLEX-style questions over the content you will be tested on. For example, if an upcoming exam is about cardiovascular diseases I recommend you practice 100s of NCLEX questions about this material. Many study guides have thousands of NCLEX practice questions and you can choose what topics you want to test in. You will notice that some of your professor's exam questions will been testing you on the same concepts as the NCLEX practice questions. What study guides are you using?

+RegisteredNurseRN i have the davids success. im taking basic med surg now. we just had diabetes. the lecture covers only the basic concept of type 1 and 2 diabetes and medications. the professor did not go in too deep such as DKA, HHHs. we will learn those in advance med surg. The David's success covers everything. there are only 4 - 5 questions in that section fits my level of knowledge. i feel that the David's success questions are somehow easier comparing to the exam questions. I am not sure where my professor got the test questions from, for some questions the way they are worded are quite tricky.the first exam i got 80%, but base on the effort i put into study, i think i can do better than that.

+Zhitian Li The first exam is always (to me) the hardest because you don't know how the test questions are going to be. I used the Saunder's NCLEX Comprehensive Review guide and it was great because it contains 1000s of practice questions in the book and on a CD.

Do you have any advice for critical care? My instructor is going over hemodynamic now. Thanks!

@RegisteredNurseRN 7 лет назад

I may make a video on that in the future. Thanks for your suggestion :)

I have researched some of the study guides notice What do you think about Medical-Surgical Nursing Demystified 3rd Edition Keogh Mcgraw Hill ?

@kaylamiller893 5 лет назад

Do you think if you already have medical background med surg will be a lil more easier? I have emt, medical assistant, and cna

Hello RegisteredNurseRN, thanks for this videos, I am finishing medsurg and Fundamentals labs, we are a group of foreign trained Drs and we are about to finish the nursing school, it has been challenging, our big problem rest on multiple choice questions but when it is not related with physiopathology or Tx, not with responses but nursing care, or when questions are like what would you say, how do you address this statement done by the Pt, etc., but very good videos, very instructive, I just found them and well… they are very good, thanks

Hey I'm newly subscribed to you're channel and was wondering even tho i have the saunder's comprehensive nckex review book 6th ed, would you recommend the davis med surg success book to practice nclex questions before an exam? or is it too much?... i already have these ati books and I'm afraid of getting overwhelmed....thanks for you're time 😊

@RegisteredNurseRN 8 лет назад

+TheOnlyMeekster Thank you so much for your comment and for subscribing :) Excellent question! Yes, I would recommend the Davis Med. Surgical book. It is a great book and many students find it very beneficial. It never hurts to have multiple resources so you have more NCLEX style questions to practice. I understand about not wanting to get overwhelmed...I was the same way lol. I think if you have all three of those resources that is probably all you will need. Study guides are what helped me prepare for my lecture exams. It would have been really hard to make it through nursing school without them. I hope that helps :)

@TheOnlyMeekster 8 лет назад

+RegisteredNurseRN Thank you so much for replying...you're channel looks like it will be a help/guide for me also thru nursing school. I failed med surg before so really want to tackle it this time around. Thanks again!

@RegisteredNurseRN 8 лет назад

+TheOnlyMeekster Thank you for your kind words :) I hope this channel can definitely be a resource for you.....I remember how hard nursing school was and I want to help all you nursing students out there get through those classes. Medical surgical is a hard class (all nursing students dread taking it haha) but those study guides should help. I look forward to helping you on your nursing journey :)
