We are excited to present another video for you guys! In this video we discuss the pros and cons, and what does a Med-Surg nurse consist of. Ang & Nat have been Med-Surg Tele nurses for about 2 years now and we have been able to see a lot during these 2 years of our nursing careers. We are very grateful for where we are and where Med-Surg has taken us. One major pro is that with Med-Surg nursing, you learn so much. This area of nursing is an area that will allow you to continuous to learn. Throughout this video we recommend that Med-Surg nursing is a very great area for new nurses and nurses who aren't sure what specialty they would like to get into, to start off in. We hope you enjoy this video, and hope you consider to subscribe to our channel to get videos similar to this one. Let us know in the comment section below what would like to see from us in future videos.

I have been loving Med surge. You literally do see everything just like you guys said. You’re always practising a bunch of skills and your critical thinking is always tested which I think is vital for your growth as a nurse, it makes you a better nurse. Love it !! Great video 👏🏾
Yes it is!! So much to learn everyday. Thank you for watching! 🙂
I have been an LPN for 8 years, but only home health peds and ambulatory. I became an RN in December 2020. However, because I did my LPN-RN during the pandemic, my classmates and I did not get to experience clinical. It’s been hard. I have an interview for med/surg in June. I’m excited. I want to learn and grow.
U girls are so inspiring, love seeing Latina nurses. So empowering, I’m in my last semester now!
Lol In school everyone wanted the specialty, but medSurg geriatric grew on me. Different varieties of disease process to learn from, in addition, it comes with a lot of hands-on. It's either medSurg geriartics, then move towards labor and delivery or Psych.
I never had a passion for med surg. I started to hate it less when I started my role transition and I was placed on GM. Now that I am getting ready to choose my hospital I will more than likely end up on a med surg unit as these are my options. Happy I found this video, it has made me feel a lot better.
I'm a new grad in NYC trying to land on my first job and I am considering med-surg as well. Glad I found your channel! Thank you for the info 😄
post-acute skilled nursing we have all that too. we do IV, tx, medication management, insulin, surgical management of pt who had general surgery or maybe specialized surgery. Most of our patients come from the top hospital: sequoia, kaiser, sutter, stanford(a lot..), and el camino. yep
Sounds very similar you are right!
Hey ladies! Great channel! I look forward to seeing you two grow. Videos with this type of content are sparse right now. I think nurses are too taxed from the pandemic to make videos 🤷♀️. I have been a med surg nurse starting in '16 but I took the last 1.5 yr off to care for my sick father and raise my baby. I finished my BSN in that time and am now working on finding a job in my area. Not as many options as NY (I was raised in that area 👊). Now I live in a less populated part of WA and there are only 2 hospitals nearby. I'm super anxious about applying/interviewing/orienting and just overall returning to nursing. I'm a med surg nurse at heart. Idk why but I just love it. It would be so wonderful to see some videos about working during Covid, how to protect yourself and your family, and/or returning to nursing after a break (if you have any tips on this). I really think you two have a lot of potential to grow this channel right now because, like I said, not many videos are out there talking about what you two are. If you find time to upload a little more frequently and touch on some of those topics I mentioned and/or more, you guys would be stars! Already rockstars, ladies! 😘 Glad to have found you!
Thank you so much for the support and the recommendation! we appreciate all the support and love we get from our fellow nurses. We will try to do an updated COVID nurse video, as our unit is currently back to a COVID unit. Med-surg nursing is awesome for anyone that loves learning and likes a somewhat fast pace (of course depending on your unit). It is ok to feel nervous about applying/interviewing/orienting, but showing your potential employer of the love and passion you have for the field will get you far. Good luck. You got this, us New Yorkers are unstoppable!
😂 it was the “yes” count that has me so freaking weak 😂😩 I love y’all. I pray I fix my nursing bestie throughout my journey
thank you for the support lol! Glad we can make you laugh.
Girls I'm about to start on a Med-Surg/Trauma Floor I'm super scared but soooo excited to learn! Thank you for this video!
hows it going?! Hope its been a great experience and you've been learning a lot :)
Hi
Hi Estela, how’s it going in MedSurg unit? I am starting in November and am super scared I will fail 😱😩
Just graduated nursing school in NYC. Im doing COVID testing for now but definitely cant wait to learn what you guys are learning 💜ALSO I SANG ALONGGG AT THE ENDD
Haha you must be a 90s baby?! 😜 thank you so much for watching!
What school did you graduate from
I love the energy in this video. Very informative. I’m still not sure what specialty I want to do for nursing school but this definitely helped
I’m thinking Med/Tele or ICU once I graduate. This video was great to watch.
palacpac09 That’s a great idea. We had a few nurses go to ICU after being in Med-Surg/Tele for 2-3 years. Good luck and thank you for the support!
Can you make this in Spanish so my mom can understand what I will be doing as a nurse?
you could put subtitles
You guys are helping me so
Much I’m a nursing student right now and I’m just trying to plan ahead and prepare myself for when I make it out nursing school. I also wanted to ask if you guys could do a video on steps (generally) on how you would transition from a med surg nurse to a different unit for me I want to do labor and delivery or NICU and also I’m from nyc as well so maybe if you could add tips on like hospitals that might be good to start out with for applying after graduating .
THANKS SOO MUCH LOVE YOU GUYS 💖
I know this was a year ago, sorry for the late response. This is a great video idea for us, and we can definitely deliver it soon. NYP, NYU, HSS, MSK, and MSH are well known hospitals in NYC. Thank you for the support.
Look how fast your channel is growing! Keep up the great content please!
Thank you for the support!
I like that you don't see kids!!! ❤️❤️ I personally don't like kids at all.. I am a medical assistant and I am waiting for my acceptance letter to enter nursing school..
Hey girls! Thanks for making this video. I did Med surg the first year out and what you’re saying is true. Thanks for the smiles.
Awesome! Thanks for watching ❤️❤️
I like y’all , so funny but y’all give a great insight 🤣🤣☺️
Absolutely agree with their perspective! Do your due diligence and ask all those CCU and acuity questions at interview.
Con: body and soul destroying. Have tissues in your car!
Hello ladies, How many 12’s shift a month do you work? Or is it 3-12s every week?
Hi!! So we work 13shifts a month. It has to be 3 12hr shifts for 3 weeks and then 1 week its 4 12hr shifts. 🙂
When you said you were listening to the other girls talk about what they wanted to do as a nurse when they graduate. And you were like “idk if I can even pass nursing school” 🤣🤣 me fr right now
😂😂 manifest it, you will get there! Goodluck and keep pushing!!
It is interesting I hear of new grads that don't want to work in med/surg even in the hospital.
Wow great video! Im 26 yo male going through LPN program currently and I have no idea what I want so this was perf.
I’m glad we could help in someway! Thank you for watching!
Yes...
im new here. can anyone tell me what their relationship is? are they friends? just curious
We are friends!! Thanks for watching :)
Do you guys enjoy the job?
Note: just graduated
Great question. The job can be very rewarding because you are helping others and continue to expand yourself and your capabilities. However, with that said, it can be mentally and physically draining. Due to this, it is important for you to take time for yourself and recharge on your days off. Thank you for the support!
Thanks for this video - i'm just finishing semester three of four in my nursing program and I have no idea where I want to go lololol So I asked for Med Surg for my preceptorship. Looking forward to getting some good foundational skills.
You can do it!
You gals are hilarious! Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for the support 😀
Yayyyyy !!! I love
Thanks for watching!
I've been thinking about going into med/surge as a cna so I can get some experience to be a travel cna.
that is a great idea. Med-surg is a great place to get experience and learn to be able to apply those skills elsewhere.
Thank you for the support!
Thanks for the tips
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
you guys are so funny love it
Hey Nat & Ang
hope you doing well
i have a question that i cant seem to find the answer to it anywhere
is there be if you a med surg what type of surgeries do, you take part
is there certain departments you can work in like
pediatric surgery ect .
will really love a reply.
Hi! such a great question. I was confused as to what a medsurg nurse does. Medsurg nurse normally manages adult patients with many different complications, however the complications are about the same throughout this specialty. We care for patients with respiratory complications, infections, cardiac dysrhythmias that are manageable/stable (if not they go to cardiac unit or ICU), and patients with kidney diseases. As for the cardiac dysrhythmias, we are medsurg/telemetry nurses so this may only apply to units and nurses that can monitor and assess telemetry monitors. Hope this answered your question. Thank you for the support.
@@AngNatNursesinNYC thank you so much
Can someone pursue a MscN or PhD in Med-Surgical Nursing?
Once you become a nurse, you can then get certified in a certain area. Through ANCC you are accredited in that specific area, by taking an exam and having certain clinical hours. The clinical hours are specific for each area of nursing.
Awesome content almost done with my pre reqs 😁
Woohoo! Congratulations, almost at the finish line. Thanks for the support.
How long have these two been working in Med-Surge?
Hi! We’ve been med-surg nurses for 2 years now. Thanks for the support
Do u need certification or training.?
Nope! You just need to have an RN License and you can work as a MedSurg Nurse.
@@AngNatNursesinNYC what about if I’m a lvn ?

Did you ladies do a fellowship program in your first job?
Hi! No we did not.
Did you guys complete a BSN or ADN program?
We completed a BSN program. Thanks for the support!
Can you make a video of LPN working in Med Surg
This is a great video idea. Thank you. We will work on it for you. Thank you for the support.
