Tips on studying for medsurg?

[laurenbianca10]

Hello everyone,

I just finished my first semester! Woo hoo...I now have a month off of school ( so weird) but I was wondering if anyone can give me tips/book suggestions on how they studied for this class? I know it's going to take so much critical thinking and outside of the box thinking and I want to get into the habit of my brain functioning that way before school starts in January! If anyone has tips tricks or any kind of advice I would appreciate it :) thank you! ❤️❤️

Hey.. can any one suggest a good nursing student app for the LPN to RN transition.. Been out of school for 12.5 years and just have lost that quick knowledge of the disease process.. Taking Medical Surgical and I feel so lost, I have honestly been considering looking into the Excelsior program, if anyone had advice about this program would also appreciate.. May God Help us all.. I'm so tired and going back to Nursing school is so hard, especially with kids and full time job and taking care of my mom.. Just need prayer and some guidance.. Sincerely, Carmen

@RunBaby , wow, you know a lot. How do you recommend a beginner study pharmacology? I'm a kinetics/visual learner. I need to see as well as interact with the material. Thanks so much :)
