  19. Med/Surg II

    NurseKellyKMo replied to wanna_be's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've had wonderful luck with Kaplan. In MS II, depending on your text and program, it's usually building upon what you learned in MS I. In our MS II course we covered perioperative care, acute care,...

    NurseKellyKMo replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing
