I literally spent 400-600 dollars my first semester with all the printing costs! I got a refurbished Ipad and it was easy to write my notes on the power points! I still like paper and pencil for extras but my main notes are on my Ipad and is backed up!

I do take notes on my PowerPoints like you and I will say just typing in those notes and reading PowerPoints and being mentally present is what has gotten me my As so far in nursing school I don’t think nursing school is all that hard personally
This the stuff I love!!!
Yay, Rachel Rivera! We are so glad this video helped you! Thank you for your support, it means the world to us. 😊
Thank you. I wish our instructor will teach in class to begin with. We have less than 10% class discussion and about 90% - here's a case study, work on it. Listen to my recording before class.

Lauren McCann, you're so kind!
I really should take your advice amd stop being so hard on myself. Its so hard to do as a perfectionist. Thanks for the advice :)
Thanks for being here, Marbles Barbles! You are so CAPABLE!!! Have faith in yourself and God that you CAN do this! Your support means the world to us. :)
What if the instructor just reads. Like there is no teaching anywhere and then whatever is read and I take notes on, aren’t even on the test.
That can be tricky, the best suggestion would be to focus and fully understand the main concepts that are reviewed in lecture. If you are still having trouble figuring out what you should be focusing on to study it would probably be beneficial to meet with your instructor to review and ask any questions you may have!! Hope this helps, Camillia Livingston! :)
Thank you so much
That's kinda my issue. Our teachers doesn't even make our tests. Someone from like corporate or something makes our midterms and finals
I already took med surg 1 and i'll be taking med surg 2 next semester. I passed the first one with a B but i honestly have no notes to go with it becuase i used the book. By using the book, i focused too much on the wrong things so i think this video will help me a LOT to help my exam grades. Thanks for the tip
Thanks for letting us know you loved this video, Kassandra Romero! Your support means the world to us! :) So glad to hear you have a plan in place for med-surg 2! You will do GREAT!
I never take down notes. I use One Note. Migrate everything there. I'm a visual& auditory learner. I draw and use (waste) notepads until I grasp the concept.I ALWAYS attend the class 100% attendance and listen.😆 My books are PDF converted and I do read mode, while I do the dishes. Great tip! Thanks!
That is great you know what works for you, Marie.S! 😊Thank you for sharing! I hope you have a fantastic day, Marie.S. 😀
Loving this!
Sadly I don’t study or do outlines or note cards and I make As I just retain a lot my memory is good and I pay attention in class 😂I’m in second semester of nursing
Taking med surg now
Hello, your videos are extremely helpful, thank you for your time and knowledge, please let me know how I can become a member. Thank you!!!!!
I find it very ironic how you uploaded this video a week before my first med surg exam 😂
Woohoo, perfect timing! Thanks for letting us know you loved the video, Monika Dziadkowiec! We're so happy to hear that! :)
Same 😢😢😢
Thank you so much, my grades are getting better😊🎉

Thanks so much for watching, friend!! :) Get your nursing school study checklist here: nursingsos.lpages.co/youtube-med-surg-study-checklist/
Friends, study these things: prioritation/clinical judgment interventions for any specific situation/bedside you are studying. Delegation. S/S of the conditions you are going over. Step by step technical skills for suctioning, wound care, IVs, etc. Medications and their side/adverse effects.🎉🎉🎉
Ana Ra, thanks so much for the input!
Don’t study harder study smarter and effective. I don’t take as much notes like I used to don’t have time for all of that. I ordered med surg notes packet off Etsy and def help!!
Absolutely! The way you study and take notes can have a huge impact! Thanks for sharing support to other nursing students and letting them know it is possible!! Your support means the WORLD to us! Thanks for being here, Bua Astrocytes! :)
Can you add the link for the notes? Thank you!
I would also like to know which notes you used please!!

Tanay Watson, remember, you will be an AMAZING nurse that God created only YOU to be, and you CAN do this! We are here to support you, don't give up Tanay Watson. There is ALWAYS a way! 😊
Thank you love your videos
You're welcome! :) Thanks for letting us know you love our videos, Tanay Watson! Your support means the world to us. Thank you for being here😊
I prayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy you see this and comment!!! When studying for Pharm do we also need to focus on the 4 main points of Med Surge.. Patho, S/S, Assessment and Interventions? And thank you soooooo much
For pharm you should focus on the mechanism of action or how the medication affects the body. What it does and why it causes those side effects. Then your education you will teach your patients, and your nursing assessments based off of your knowledge of how the medication works! Thanks for being here, C. Wyatt!
Really appreciate this video. Only problem I'm having is the teacher makes us guess what info is important. She will go over EVERYTHING in the chapters, which makes us have to read all of it. So many of my friends in other nursing schools don't have this problem. It's frustrating. 6-8 chapters to learn in a week and my teacher won't help to break it down.
Thank you so much for being here, Mac B! Figuring out how and what to study can feel like a huge hurdle you have to learn how to jump over. Especially in nursing school when you feel like you have to learn so much and it all seems important. Check out this full playlist on how to study in nursing school: czcams.com/video/65DIa8HeSf0/video.html . I think it will help you a lot! Have fantastic day! :)
My current situation.. I’m annoyed!
I passed med surg with a 85, that’s only a C in my program! But gee I’ll take it! Definitely was the hardest class in the program! Now for med surg 2 😩
Woohoo, Krystalann! We're so happy to hear that! :) You will do OUTSTANDING!
How did u get through it. I'm not connecting well. The ppt is good but the book is thick
@@KrazySoul1 IK It is alottt of information, so that is why I created concept maps. (I actually sell the templates I made and used on etsy @NursebabeShop) they are very useful in breaking down information. Second I have picmonic where its short video/stories on the disease. Short and sweet so its straight to the point. I also used level up RN card for med surg. Good luck! have faith in yourself you got this!
Hi I see you said only no the four things what about the risks factors and teaching to I need to no those to along with the other four.
Tracy Harris, great question! So the education will go in with your nursing interventions, and assessments will go along with your assessment, assessing if they have any comorbidities that would put them at risk. I hope that helps!
Hi, how can I get the study guide? It says page is not found. In semester 6 now! Thank you :)
So sorry about that, ALI TAYLOR! Here is the link: nursingschoolofsuccess.com/checklist?+lead+gen&CZcams&+description&CHEAT+SHEET+%7C+Study+Checklist& 😊
Hello Please which textbook did you used in med surg and pharmacology
geraldine Alot the Davis Drug Guide is super helpful for medications, and for med surg, the Made Incredibly Easy books are super helpful! But as far as textbooks you should go with what your program recommends you utilize!
Hey Christina,
What resources do you recommend for practice questions for classes such as med surg? I am taking it next semester and hope to get a study plan aligned early on.
I loved the NCLEX Mastery App and the Saunders comprehensive review book! Those were the ones I used!
What exactly is med surg? I was reading a book in the library and it has a bunch of physiology and biochemistry. Like very conceptual.
Understanding the patho and learning how to use that in order to know what to assess for as a nurse, and what interventions to implement and why! It all starts with fully understanding what is happening inside the body to be able to then critically think about your next step, Cari!
I start med surg on January 21st... and I'm mildly freaking out. So thank you for this!
You will do AMAZING, friend! Don't freak out, just do your best, follow our study process and tips, and you will be GOLDEN! :)
How did it go Melissa?
it helps if your professors really do their job. But most professors test students for the topics they've never ever covered in their power points.
That definitely can happen unfortunately :(
What do I do if my exams are done through hesi or ati how I know what to study 😭😭😭 I need help
Kadine Johnson you CAN do this! You are doing better than you think you are! This is a super helpful video about how to prepare for those test bank exams ( ATI/HESI) czcams.com/video/mUMfwcvCcew/video.html
I couldn’t find the link to download
Here is the link for you, Seema Rani: nursingsos.lpages.co/youtube-med-surg-study-checklist/ I hope you find it helpful! Thank you for being here. Have a fantastic day 😊
Can u give us msn suggestions for 2020
We provide resources for nursing students going through nursing school, sorry about that! Thanks for being here, Alom Saikh!
Possible the name of the book and the latest version of the med surgery
Thanks for being here, انتظار احمد! Which book were you looking for the link to? If you are looking for a general med surg book the best one to go by is the one your program recommends. That way you are sure you are learning the information in the order and the exact way your instructor wants you to. As always, thank you for being here! Have a fantastic day!

So happy to hear this video was helpful for you, mohanlal marwadi! You will do GREAT! Thank you for being here, your support means the world to us. 😊
Yo? So, I just discovered there are apparently nursing programs that offer med surge over the span of two semesters? My med surg was condensed into one semester and was incredibly hard.
I can only imagine how much smoother and easier it would have been if it was a two semester class.
Welp, perhaps that’s why so many of my peers failed and the ones that passed just barely made it
Yes, some programs break it down into two semesters, and some put it all into one, Erozion 8! Happy to hear you did well with it! Thank you for being here😊

What if our professor gives us nothing but slides with pictures?
Jennifer Yang you CAN do this! Focus on the topics they are focusing on, even if they are just pictures. Find those topics in your textbooks and make sure you fully understand those concepts. This video will be super helpful for you too: czcams.com/video/Ofyv2ZA0OzI/video.html You are doing better than you think you are, keep it up, friend!
Here because I failed my second med surg test. I hope this helps, I feel so defeated.
Oh no! I'm sorry you had that experience. These study tips will definitely help give you guidance. Good luck, friend!!
I failed my second one too and I feel the same. I'm up at 12:54 am b/c I can't sleep from thinking about my next med-surg test. Just stay positive; we can still make it through and pass!
i want to see every topic
Yay! Thanks for being here, joanna klosinek! Your support means the world to us. :) Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a thing!
Our professor just post skeleton notes.. I understand the material when I read the book but the test questions are more advanced and I'm always choosing the wrong answers.
Thanks for being here, Sade Washington! You CAN do this! Be sure to review the concepts in your books, and understand the patho, signs and symptoms, nursing assessments, and nursing interventions thoroughly!
Do lots of NCKEX questions and read the rationale.
Had to withdraw today so devastated 😓 I was at a 70 and need to pass with an 80 in order to graduate this May now I won’t be able to graduate with my class
Sabrina, remember, you will be an AMAZING nurse that God created only YOU to be, and you CAN do this! We are here to support you, don't give up Sabrina. There is ALWAYS a way! 😊
@@NursingSOS thank you sorry for the late reply.
What if you try but your med surg instructor doesn’t make powerpoints, dont let you take notes during lecture, or give you any guides or sources? Yeah then theres that and also why Im here. 😒
Tiffany Brockers, this is common too, especially with the current season of life we are all in. This is a great video all about how to study even when your instructors don't teach:: czcams.com/video/Ofyv2ZA0OzI/video.html you CAN do this, friend!!! Have a fantastic day!
We don't have classes so im like a deer in headlights
Yes, this season is certainly bringing new challenges, Lynn S! We are here to help if you have any questions you can always email us at hello@nursingsos.com and we will get back to you right away! :) You CAN do this, friend! Don't give up!! This is a helpful video when your courses are online too: czcams.com/video/cXa5FGrDxHI/video.html
I like respiratory care but there is a lot of math. Like really, a lot of math! Nursing has math but not like respiratory care.
Thanks for being here, Cari! Yes, when administering medications there is a lot of math involved no matter what!
My teacher just reads from the book
Same!
Rachel Henderson and Simone Wade this brings in a little more of a challenge to nursing school. But don't worry friends, you are so CAPABLE!!! 😊
You'll want to watch this video where we walk you through what to do when your instructor doesn't teach: czcams.com/video/Ofyv2ZA0OzI/video.html It will seriously be so helpful! :)
Try not to focus on what seems to be unfair, and instead focus on what you can control. There is a bigger picture here, and shifting your mindset away from how unfair it is, to "how can I grow from this experience to be a better nurse that God created only me to be." This can feel challenging and defeating, but don't let your mind wander into that negative self-doubt cycle. You are going to do great, friends! We are here to support you!
