Content in MedSurg 2?

[blackvans1234]

Hey all just wondering if you could give me a breakdown/ idea of your medsurg 2 course.

I just completed medsurg 1 and some things we covered were; burns, ortho- joint replacements, fractures, casts , eyes, abdominal surgeries, complications of surgeries (and relevant nursing interventions), shock, hemorrhage.

There's probably a few other sections.

I would like to read up on a few sections for the fall (medsurg 2), can you give me an idea of what i'll be learning?

I'm assuming, diabetes, cardiac, (neuro is in it's own section I believe)...

What else?

Thanks!

Your content covered for Med Surge I is different than my content, best advice...and so you don't waste time is to talk with someone in your school who just took it, that way you will have a better idea.

I'm not sure how your school structures Med Surg II. In my school, Med Surg II is focused on critical care. Our clinicals are all critical care and our lecture looks at everything from a critical care perspective.

I want to add that it never hurts to re-review a lot of basic stuff like the angiotensin system, cranial nerves, how blood flows through the heart, the math, acidosis/alkalosis, ABGs, etc.
