So in January I will be starting my 4th quarter of nursing school. I have med surge & micro together on top of me starting a new prn position at a top local hospital!!! I am so nervous about this quarter. Any tips on how to study for med surge and micro? I really want to do good this quarter. I am half way through & I can not give up now!!! I need all of the tips I can get at this point lol

The best advice I can give you about med-surg is making a chart for each illness that you learn about. Include pathophys, causes, symptoms, lab values, treatments and outcomes, or anything significant to the illness. Keep them in a binder so you can refer to them for brushing up on your knowledge or studying for exams! I found that doing this really helped organize my knowledge, especially since medsurg content is so extensive.

Cali schools make you take bio, chem, anat, physio, micro; sometimes nutrition and med term. Y'all got off light!

My program in FL doesn't include/require bio, chem, or med terminology. Micro, however, is a corequesite. There is also no pharm either; crazy, I know!

Doesn't require bio/chem? How does one prove competence prior to enrolling in anat or physio?

I had to take the PAX RN test before enrolling
