to all the graduates: study help!

i'm on my last semester in ADN program. our 1st exam would be on oncology and altered immunity - HIV/AIDS. our professor told us that med-surg is 50% on a&p! last semester i felt that my last professor wanted me to know diagnosis tests, lab values, treatments, and medication. i'm a bit nervous on how to focus what to study since i'm not familiar with this new professor. what do you think? any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! :balloons:

Hi Janetrette, I'm also entering my 4th semester of a ADN program (I don't want to jinx myself by saying the "L" word). Were doing more psych (yuck), oncology, and burns. I don't have any advice for you, but we can def support each other! Good luck! When is your first day of class?

I do think a lot of Med Surg is A&P but in a not so obvious way. If you know your A&P then you know what side to position s patient after a liver biopsy. I do not think 50% of your questions are going to be straigh Pathopys and such. (I could be wrong). I think if you look at nursing care and how it relates to A&P you should start to make connections.

Just my $0.02 worth! Because I forgot the nursing care in Med Surg and struggled with the A&P ONLY and then I struggled to pass Adult I (medsurg)

Hey, I'm in central NJ. Our first day back is on the 7th! I just got back from vacation and completely forgot about our med math test that is required b/f each semester....oops. Anyway, we are also doing a lot of "transitioning to your new role as a GN." Do you have something like that also? I'm really looking forward to it!

this semester would be all just adult med-surg for us! :balloons:
