    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!

    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

    • @TheDanielleDenise
      @TheDanielleDenise  Před 4 lety

      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.

    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…
