I watched this video last year because I am afraid of medsurg with 14 units. Now, I am back telling you that I got an A! I got 98 final grade on MedSurg hahaha hope everyone can get an A too. Fighting future nurses!

[@QuyLe-xk7pw]

hi! I am taking medsurg 2. for me it is tougher Do you have any tips?

[@QuyLe-xk7pw]

Thank you

[@elizabethsoul6377]

After using uworld twice and failing, I never knew I could ever pass the nclex but today I am very happy. I just passed my Nclex on my third attempt with a great help from Dr Luther

[@nikkiisexpressions7650]

I will take these tips into consideration. I have to retake it & I refuse to get nothing less than an A.

[@TheDanielleDenise]

You got this!! You're gonna show med-surg who's boss!

Starting Med Surg I on the 10th. I hear that this class is tough.. but I’m definitely going to take your tips. Appreciate all that you do for your subs.

[@TheDanielleDenise]

You are as sweet as can be, thank you!! I wish you the best of success in med-surg!

[@raiganstump941]

GIRL you are the epitome of beauty and brains!!! Thank you sooo much for sharing this info, I can't wait to apply it!

[@therealmt]

For me, it took me a while to figure out how to study. I have to TEACH the content. Reason is because as a nurse, one of our roles is an educator. We have to educate our patients. I applied the teaching concept to my studying. I write my notes the way I would write a “lesson plan” and I automatically understand the information and teach the information to my study group. I did this and passed Pharmacology. Doing the same for my Fundamentals retake this fall. Thinking about doing concept maps for Med-Surg

[@justinejulien117]

Can you explain the titles, structures, and organization of your lesson plan?

[@therealmt]

@@justinejulien117 The “lesson plans” are in a style of concept maps. Then I get with my study groups and we talked about what we studied and whatever we didn’t know, the other person would educate us on it lol.

Great tips !!!! I did a lot of this in undergrad also and i can vouch !!! Looking at the info before is so important ! Because when you get to lecture you can focus on what is most important , like the meat of the potato’s is what i use to say and then application

[@jasonzhao9641]

How do you take notes from textbook I’m still loss

[@itsqueenkay624]

Hey girl😊💛, new subscriber here! i wish i came across your channel during my fall 2020 semester🥺. as a third semester nursing student who failed Adult Health (Med Surg), you breaking down how you prepared for lecture and how you worked diligently through lecture to highlight and take note of key components or processes your professor focuses on is a great tip!! With my school jus now getting back on campus in August of this year due to COVID, my nursing program decided to cram our adult health content into 1 months worth of us testing and learning new material WEEKLY! 😡 But what I can say now is that this video has given me a new perspective on how to manage my time, work, and studying for med surg which was the class i struggled with most. We also had Maternal Child nursing this semester too but i did well in that class🥴 lol. Thanks again, I know i will come back well prepared for med surg next fall!

[@lissadorval]

Thank you for this!!! starting med surge so Im going to need these tips. Thank you and God bless you!

Hey new subscriber 💕 I will be applying to my BSN program near fall ! What’s makes med surge hard ?? Everybody complains about it being very hard lol but I want to Ace that class stress free 👌🏾

[@TheDanielleDenise]

T kay Hellllloooo, thank you for subscribing 💛 Med Surg is just a lot of content to fit into one class, which is usually why some schools break it up into multiple semesters. There are a lot of topics and so much detail, but the exams aren’t testing you on how much you can memorize, they want you to apply that knowledge and determine the best treatment for your patient. Most answers will be right, but you have to chose the answer that is the most correct.

Back then I don't think I studied daily. Sometimes I'd try to study whenever I had a chance. Around 2- 5 hours. Constant exposure thoughout the weeks and then kicking it into high gear once the exams came.

Also what I do I screen shot the lecture and put it in a document and just type what the professor said that is not on it!

[@lifesaver86]

It’s easy said than done. To some people, like my self, have difficulties on connecting the dots between lecture PowerPoint, and book chapters reading info with exams that I’ve been told is based NCLX questionnaire style. Every time I take exams or practice questions I feel like I’ve been reading for nothing because I don’t see any connections between exam and lecture 🥺🥺… I just feel like I should study directly on how questions and answers works with NCLX rather than wasting my time reading and trying to understand the lectures… 😞😞😞…. I’m on my second semester for MDC1… and I still have hard time connecting the meaning of the questions to “where in the book is that info?” type of thing… but I’ll try your way of suggestions… hope I won’t feel like that on my 2nd exam next week…
