If you are strong in both MedSurg will be easier, if you are weak, harder. Your pre-reqs are the base of everything. Go back and review if you are weak. Critical thinking skills intertwined with both will make it a breeze.

Med Surg incorporates both and you really need to have a good overview of them to succeed. It's not enough to learn in med surg but also to apply and use the knowledge to understand what it means to you as you care for your patients. It's intense >.
Be prepared to study you hiney off!

Imo, both are really helpful in understanding medsurg. That's the key word, understanding. Don't just memorize because soon you'll forget everything. Make sure you know what you're reading about and the information is more likely to stay with you.
