Yo, everyone.

Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome. Hi, guys. Welcome to the nursing school show. That's Christina.

Hello.

Hi, Shyvana. Elizabetta. Oh, that's pretty. Queen Carol. Welcome back. Okay. Instagram is hard to scroll because then it wants me to leave comments. Hey, Caitlin. You guys are all awesome.

Awesome. All right, so let's get started. Let's jam with how to study med surge.

Who's in med surge right now? Who's In Med Surge right now, raise your hand. Or who has done med surg before? Ooh, let's go through it.

I'm guessing L. Exel. I don't know.

Exel.

I don't Know. On. On YouTube. Perfect for my test next week. Awesome. Glad you joined.

If it's an L or a capital I, is there any way to know?

I don't know.

Okay, so I hope we said that right. Who is in Med Surge right now? Caitlin, you're in Med Surge. Queen Carol. Hello.

Hello. Guys.

Welcome back, welcome back. Welcome, welcome. Yeah. So Med Surge. Awesome.

Adria.

Nice. All right. Oh, level three Med Surge. So what does level three Med surge mean for you? Different schools do different things.

I did notice that. That a lot of times people like, ask us during our lives or email and say, hey, I need help in Med surge. XYZ or Med surge 2. Or. Yup, Med Surge Super Beta Alpha, something like that. And yes, they're different for everyone. So yes.

Yep. Nursing 101. Nursing 403. You know, different med surges. So a lot of students are in Med surge. A med surge is huge. Like, you guys have most likely heard that med surge is the hardest part of nursing school. Now here's the stickler with that. I did not think it was too bad. So here's what I'm going to say originally about Med Search. Okay, I'm going to kind of move this over because I feel like I am sorry, Instagram. I'm trying to, like, stay in your shot.

There you go. Instagram doesn't need to see me. There you go.

There you go, guys.

If you want to see all, communicate

with you face to face, join YouTube. See all of that on YouTube. So med search, I think there's a lot of mindset stuff that goes with Med Surge. When you start nursing school, that's really the class that everyone says that is the hardest thing to do. It's the worst. Like, you will not pass the exams. You're not going to pass Med Surge. And on and on and on and on and on.

Right?

Like, have you heard this? Like, can you guys throw me a heart? Throw up a. Like on YouTube. Throw up. Throw up your favorite emoji, whatever.

Yeah. What have you heard? What kind of those rumors have you heard? We jammed on that a couple of days ago. But what are these rumors about Med surge and how no one ever passes it, yet somehow people still become nurses?

So that's kind of the dichotomy there. It's just. It's. It's the class that everyone says is the worst. And here's the thing that I want to kind of push back on is that idea that it is terrible and you won't be able to pass, because just keep in mind that your strength might be someone else's weakness. So if someone is telling you that med surg is so hard and you're not gonna pass and it's the worst, and you just can't do it, like, if someone's telling you that in your world right now, just keep in mind that there are some really great study tips for med surge we're gonna go through and that their weakness might be your strength. So you can use these study tips that I'm going to walk you through in just a minute to pass and to be successful in med surg. And honestly, if that was true, right. If nobody passed med surg, then there wouldn't be any nurses in the world, and there's a lot of us around, so don't worry about it. You're going to do great. So, yeah, for us, we were told we would all fail. Patho. Yes, Pathophysiology, part of med surge. You have to know the patho in order to, you know, kind of move on and know everything else. So patho is huge.

Yes. Yes. It's terrifying. It is terrifying.

Terrifying. Jacqueline, My school has intermediate med surge 1 and 2 now going into last semester, but now it's called advanced med surge since it's the last class for the program. Yeah. So there's like, different. Different levels that your. Your school might use. You know, could be like, med surg 1, 2, 3, level 1, 2, 3. You know, it's just different wording for different school schools, you know, use. It's Intermediate med surge one and two, and now it's intermediate, and I'm assuming advanced. Yeah. Med search. Like beginner, middle, advanced, beginner, intermediate, advanced. So, yeah, different people call it different things. Just had my first fundamentals. Good job. So then you're gonna go into med surg. So stay tuned. All right, so let's walk through the. The first thing I want to talk about are the four key things that you have to know for med surge. Okay, I know we got a lot of you guys on here. Both Instagram and YouTube. Can someone please write this in the comments? All right, so what I'm going to say next, please write it in the comments so everybody can see it in the comments and read it. Okay? So someone please, you know, write in the comments these four things that I'm going to Say right now. Ready? Pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions. Those are the four main things that you need to know for med surge in nursing school. Okay, someone write those down. I'm going to say them again. I'm going to say them a thousand times during this live video. Okay, ready? Pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions. Those are the four main things that you have to know in nursing school for med surge. Thank you, Caitlin. Pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions. So while someone writes those down, Caitlin, thank you for doing.

Thank you, Jacqueline.

Thank you, Jacko.

Signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, nursing interventions.

See, you're awesome.

I am learning right along with you guys.

Yeah, it's so funny how much, like, you know, does it kind of blow your mind how much you actually know through osmosis, doing all of these things? Okay, so we're going through page 34 of the nursing school study system right now. 34 and 35, which is all about how to study med surge. So this, you guys, like Matthew said earlier, this is your full, you know, system for how to study in nursing school. It's called the nursing school study system. And just while we are on this live, actually, Matthew wanted to do something really fun for you. So while. While we were. We are on live video right now. Today, you can get the nursing school study system, the digital copy for $10 off. So it's on our website, in our shop, nursing school of success.com forward/study system, and use the coupon code LIVE L, I, V, E. Right. To get $10 off the nursing school study system Just while we're on live video, though. And you can thank Matthew for doing that for you.

You are welcome.

You're welcome.

This is just. Yeah, seriously, this is everything. The. The complete guide that Christina talks through that we have all throughout our membership community as well. And basically everything that she's going to talk about with you guys right now is in here. So listen up, listen up, listen up.

Yep. All right, so those three things are those four things. So, Caitlin, thank you so much. So pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions. Those are the four main things that you going to be tested on in nursing school. So for those of you who are in nursing school right now, and particularly those of you who are in med surge, can you tell me how often you're tested on how well you memorize things? I'm going to say it for you, like, never.

So, like, okay, what are the three signs and symptoms of such and such. Do you get questions like that?

No.

Asking for a friend.

Asking for a friend? No. So here's what your tests are going to say. Your tests are going to give you a case scenario question, and then you're going to have to figure out what they're going through, and you're going to have to choose. It's likely a select all that apply question, which is unfortunate. And then you have to select all the signs and symptoms that apply to that patient. So it's a critical thinking question. Do your nursing exams ever test you on memorization day? No.

Rude awakening on my first test.

Yes.

Yes.

Rude awakening.

Here you go. Go into class and think. Okay, I just need to memorize these things. They give us lists. What do I do with lists? I just memorize these lists and they'll ask me, what's the fifth one on that list? No, that is not what's going to happen. Never.

No, they will not do that. So they are not going to test you on how well, you just memorize a list of things. That is not how nursing school works. And nor should it be, honestly, because who wants a nurse who, like, just memorized stuff and can't, like, apply it to critical thinking, particular situation, which is

something that you talk about at length all the time. Yes. That is why, though, there's those four things, and that's why you. You need to critically think and not just memorize lists.

Yes. Nikki, you said totally, which is why they're so hard to study for. Yes, absolutely. So it's. It's very, very difficult when you start nursing school. Right. It's. It's kind of like when you start nursing school, everyone kind of accepts, expects that when you go to the mailbox and pull out your acceptance letter that all of a sudden the angels come down from heaven and you get, like, you know, drenched in confetti of critical thinking. You know, that is not how it works. You do not just go out to your mailbox and get your acceptance letter, and then all of a sudden, no, like, magically just know how to critically think. That is not how it works. Right. So that is frustrating that you get to nursing school, you don't know how to critically think, but then on top of that, everyone expects you to know how to critically think, but they don't teach you how to do it, and they don't tell you what it is. Have you had this experience where, like, your nursing instructors are like, well, just critically think about it or just think like a nurse, like Think like a nurse. Like, the more they tell you to do it, the more you're gonna do it. When they don't explain what it is. I don't know. I find that frustrating.

Yes.

When people are like, no, just critically think or just read the textbook or just critically think. Like, the more that they tell you to critically think, like, that's not helpful. Right. So we want to walk through, you know what critical thinking is, how to apply it to med search. Oh, you guys are funny. So, yeah, critical thinking is everything in nursing school. So that's why those four key parts of med surge and what to study for are so important, because it is critical thinking. You start with the pathophysiology and you have to know what is happening in the body before you can learn everything else that you need to know for med surge. So pathophysiology is the foundation for. For everything else, you need to know the other three categories. Okay, so you've got the patho, then you've got the signs and symptoms and the nursing assessment and the nursing interventions. Okay? But it all goes back to the pathophysiology. So when you are studying for med surg, you have to first understand the patho. Okay, so what is pathophysiology? Let's start there. Pathophysiology means what is abnormal in the body. So physiology is what is normal in the body. Physiology is just, you know, how the body works. Pathophysiology is abnormal physiology. So what is abnormally going on in the body? So we're talking about those disorders, you know, we're talking about stroke, heart failure, diabetes, dka, you know, all the med surg disorders that you are going to learn about in nursing school and have to be able to critically think through. Through. Okay, so pathophysiology, you have to understand what is going on in the body then before you can move on to understanding the other three categories, the signs and symptoms for that disorder. You can't expect yourself to just memorize a list of signs and symptoms that and then pass your exam. That's not how it works in nursing school. Like all of you guys just said a minute ago, that's not how nursing school works. Right? When you go take your nursing school exam, they're going to test you on your critical thinking skills. They're not going to ask you for a list of signs and symptoms. That's just not what nursing school is. So you have to be able to connect those signs and symptoms back to the pathophysiology. So let's Say, for example, you get a, a critical thinking question, a case scenario question in your med search class and they tell you, you know, your patients diagnosed with, you know, X, and then what signs and symptoms would you expect to see? Well, you have to know the pathophysiology of whatever disorder that was that X, Y, Z disorder. And then you can critically think through the signs and symptoms in that question. So rather than memorizing a list of signs and symptoms that you could, you might potentially see that's not going to be helpful for you because the ones that they put on your exam might not be ones that you had studied. You know, it's not. So, so in that way, memorizing a list is not going to help you. You have to be able to really think about it, understand the patho, and then apply how that patho works in the body and connect the dots to it. So with those signs and symptoms, so then, so we have patho, we have signs and symptoms, then we have nursing assessment and nursing interventions. In the same way, you have to connect those two categories back to the pathophysiology. Right. So if you have a disorder, then how does that disorder work in the body? Okay, I understand that. Now I can know. Okay, kind of, I know generally what's going on now. What could I assess for? What do you think might happen? What nursing interventions should you do in order to help a patient with that disorder or with that issue? Does that make sense? So it all comes back, it all comes back around to that pathophysiology. Okay, so I was. We have a lot of students who are just joining us right now. So let's introduce ourselves again and then we'll talk a little bit more. So hi everybody. My name is Christina. I am a registered nurse.

Hi, I am Matthew. I am the other half of the registered nurse. I am not a nurse personally.

That's amazing.

Yes.

And we are married to each other. We get a question a lot. Yes, we are married, but we are here.

She is here to help you guys through nursing school. I am here to, to help her help you through nursing school. So there, there is that.

Actually, no. Yeah. You do so much. It's crazy actually how much Matthew does.

So we are focused on how to study med surg in nursing school for everyone that is new here and for a limited time, this study system, the digital copy of it is available to you guys. Nursing school of success.com study system use code LIVE L I V E for $10 off I'm actually going to sneak away and make sure. That is on right now because it is always. It is only going to be on while we are live. So I'm going to go turn that on. Be sure to jump on that while we continue our discussion. Discussion. Christina just started off with the four things you need to know.

Yes.

And how everything actually links together.

Yep.

So we'll be jamming on it. So one second. Be sure to head over to nursing school of success.com study system, slash study system.

And Matthew actually put the. He put the link down here for. Oh, look at Christina taking over control of the computers. Hi, Tweet. Hello, precious. Hello, Tanya. A Lil. Hi, you guys. Oh, you guys have joined us for, like, multiple nights in a row. Hi, Emily. Hi, Cinda. Okay, so I can see who's joining us on Instagram, on YouTube. Can you comment and just say hello, please? Because I know we have a lot of you guys on and I want to say hi. Also, can you say where you are in the world? Because we did this last night and we asked you guys to say where you are located. And that was just. Just so fun to see. We had students from the uk we had Canada last night. We had the Philippines. We had Colombia last night.

Michigan. Hooray. Canada. Alabama. Let's see who's joining from the furthest away.

Oh, yeah.

So contest.

Philippines would have made it last night, right? Yeah.

Alabama. A couple guys from Alabama. You guys are neighbors.

Well, furthest away from us at least. Texas. New Jersey. Future. Lpn.

Another one from New Jersey in Cali.

California. We had California last night. Colorado. Hello. Love it. San Francisco. California. Las Vegas. Nice. Rhode Island. New York. Vancouver Island, B.C.

hello.

Fantastic. Oh, this is so fun. Pennsylvania. Kansas. Wow, you guys are all over. Houston. This is great. Southern California. Yeah. We have a few people on from

California, a couple people from Michigan.

Hi. And Southern Cali, a couple from Alabama. This is great. You guys are awesome. Okay. That is so fun. I'm gonna ask that every single time because.

Yes.

I just really like that.

I think the furthest right now, though is Canada, bc, Right?

Well, furthest from us. It's not Canada. BC we're pretty close to, I guess. So what would it be? New Jersey, probably, or New York. Yeah. Pennsylvania. Yeah. See?

Newfoundland. We have a winner.

There you go. See, we are on the west coast, which is the best coast. So, yeah, Texas. A couple people from Texas. This is great. Okay, so, okay, several people from Texas.

It's a big state.

I love it. There's a lot of people.

There's a lot of people there.

All right. So those four main things that I'm gonna jam on them again because I know we got. We just have a lot of people joining us. So if you're just coming on. Hello. We are talking about how to study med surg in nursing school. So. Okay, somebody write this down again for everyone new who is joining us. Okay?

She really likes you guys writing down. This is an interactive experience.

Yes, it's an interactive experience. So please, please, somebody write in the comments these four things that I'm going to say right now. Okay, you ready? Pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions. Okay, somebody write that down on Instagram in the comments. Someone write it down on YouTube in the comments. You guys always come through for me. Don't leave me hanging. Someone write those four things down in the comments on both Instagram and YouTube. Okay? Ready? Go. Pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions. Okay, those are the four main things that you have to know for med surgeon, nursing school. Your instructors, when you get to class, like, they're gonna talk about, man, just random stuff. Like, they're gonna talk about, like, random facts. They're gonna talk about, like, etiology of things, you know, like, they're gon to talk about just random stuff, and it's not helpful for you because it's not going to show up in your exams. So thank you guys so much. Yay. Thank you, Ek. Thank you, Nikki. Thank you, Queen. Thank you, Caitlyn.

The womax way.

Awesome. Thank you. You guys are awesome. Thank you. Seriously, you guys are the best. I love our community. You guys are fantastic. So those four main things, Patho, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment, and nursing interventions. You've got to focus on learning those things because that is what's going to show up on your nursing school exam. Like, like we said before, how often do nursing exams test you on how well you memorize a list of things? Never. You have to know those four main categories. Those are the things they're going to test you on. Now, the trick is, is to understand the pathophysiology of the disorder first and then move on to the other three categories, the signs and symptoms, the nursing assessment, and the nursing interventions. Okay, so, but it all starts with the pathophysiology. That is your baseline foundation. You have to understand that first. So critically, think like we said, start with the pathophysiology, understand how the disorder acts in the body, and then move on to how does the pathophysiology lead to the science? Symptoms, how does it Drive your nursing assessment and your nursing interventions.

And I like that. I think that that's another way of saying it is how does it lead to this? Or how does it lead to the signs and symptoms or drive the assessments and interventions? And that's really, I guess, the key thing about the critical thinking. One of the main points of the critical thinking is the connecting the dots or that really everything is connected. So don't think about your lists as being silos as, okay, I just need to memorize this list without any idea of how it connects to anything else, that that's where the downfall is. Instead, you need to know the pathophysiology and if it's a disorder you've never heard of or anything like that, as long as you know how it's affecting the body or what's wrong or what's. What's abnormal in the body, then with critical thinking, you can say, okay, if this is what's happening that's wrong, then it will lead to this. It will drive the assessments and intervention. So it's just really thinking that everything is connected.

Yep, absolutely. It's all connected together. So now let's jam for a few minutes on critical thinking. Okay, so, so as we are learning those four main categories, I want to also walk through with you in the nursing school study system. So I hope you have this already. Okay? So just while we are live, Matthew did a super special thing for you. This is totally all him. So thank you, Matthew. He's giving you $10 off the nursing school study system only while we are live though. So go to nursingschoolofsuccess.com forward/study system and use the coupon code live. Okay? And you will get this PDF download for $10 off, which is fantastic. Stick so on. So the how to study med surge is on page 34 and 35. It's the full step by step process for that. Now I'm gonna go a little bit in the beginning, more in the beginning of the study system. And we're gonna jam on. We're gonna be. We're on page 17 through. I think it's 21 for how to critically think. So in the study system, I also walk you through how to critically think, what critical thinking is, what it means for you in nursing school, and how to do it. So on page 17 is where it starts. So I want to walk through these nine key critical thinking questions for you to ask yourself as you study med surg. Okay, so don't worry about this. If you don't have a Pen and paper to write this down. No big deal. We are going to save this live. We're going to save it on YouTube. We're going to save it on Instagram, hopefully. Hopefully Instagram saves it. Sometimes it gets a little glitchy. If it doesn't save on Instagram, just Instagram. Friends, go to YouTube and you can watch the replay of this live and then get these nine critical thinking questions as well. So let's go through them. But they are also in the study system, too. So what do I need to assess for and look for with this disorder? So what do you need to assess for with this disorder? Question number two. How does this disorder impact a patient without comorbidities? Okay, like, my excitement here, I get, like, so excited about critical thinking. Okay, so how does this disorder impact a patient without comorbidities? So if a patient comorbidities means that they have another disease or disorder that goes along with it, you're like, okay,

all right, makes sense.

Now.

You guys are all ahead of me. Can you worry about it?

The audience, you're like. The audience, you're like, oh, like, you start laughing randomly at my jokes. Put up, like a laugh. I'll put up, like a laugh.

I'll be a laugh track.

Yeah. Oh, that would be. That would be so weird, but so funny. Yeah. So, okay, so question number two. How does this disorder impact a patient without comorbidities? So let's say that they just have one thing, right? Like, for example, like a pediatric patient that comes in with an infection, you know, and they don't have anything else going on, really. They just have an infection. Excuse me. So how would. How, you know, what would we do to help that patient? And then how does this disease or disorder impact a patient with comorbidities? So let's take that same pediatric patient. They come in with an infection, but, you know, they also have a history of allergy, asthma, and eczema, so they've got the triad. Right? But they. They also now have an infection. So how are those things going to play together? All right, and then what interventions are most likely to be ordered by the doctor? Okay, so what. And what nursing interventions are you kind of planning to do for this patient? Question number five. What interventions are within my scope of practice as a nurse to do without an order? Now? This is huge. You guys are really, really want you to hear this. Question number five, okay? And it's on page 18 of the N School Study System. Question number five. What interventions are within my scope of practice as a Nurse to do without a doctor's order. Now, the reason that I love this question is because it is going to show up on your exams again and again and again and again and again. And I'll tell you how you are going to get a nursing school questions where one of the answers is to call the doctor and it is rarely going to be the correct answer. So you have to know, you have to think through this question number five before your exam. Okay? What interventions are within my scope of practice as a nurse to do without a doctor's order? So think through those things first before you take your exam because you will, I guarantee you, I guarantee you, you are going to get a question in nursing school on your exam where one of the answers is to call the doctor. And I'm telling you, my friends, unless there is nothing else you can do that is not the correct answer. So you have to make sure that there's nothing else you can do. Make sure there's nothing else within your scope of practice for you to do before you choose that answer. Okay? Now question number six. How does this intervention, how does this intervention, not the disorder, but the intervention, impact a patient with comorbidities? Question 7, how does this intervention impact a patient without comorbidities? And then what patient and family education needs to occur? And then what other disorders or problems are associated with this disorder so what complications can happen? So those are the nine key critical thinking questions that you need to ask yourself as you are studying med surgical. These nine critical thinking questions are going to help deepen, deepen how you understand what is happening with your patients with this med surg disorder that you're learning with, you know, the interventions with the nursing assessment, the signs and symptoms, the pathophysiology, you know, it's. These questions are really going to help walk you through that critical thinking process. Process for med surge. Okay, so I know I went through those key questions pretty quickly. Make sure that you go back to YouTube after this live video. Rewatch the video if you want to write them down. They are also though, inside the nursing school study system along with the rest of our process for how to critically think. So here inside the nursing school study system, this is our step by step guide for how to study in nursing school. And there's like, like four pages here that I have for you for almost five pages all about how to critically think. So that's just the first part of it. Like that is just the first part of how to critically think in nursing school. There's, you know, 1, 2 3, 4, 5, 4 other pages on it. So. But those questions will definitely help get you started. So on this live, Matthew did a very cool thing. So on this live video, just while we're live, this nursing school study system is $10 off in our shop. Okay, so Matthew's giving you a coupon code. The coupon code is live L, I V E. So only while we are live here on this video right now, if you go to nursing schoolofsuccess.com forward/study system, nursing schoolofsuccess.com study system and use the coupon code live, you will get the study system for $10 off. Thank you, Matthew.

You are welcome. So yeah, those questions are really good questions. And again, if you, if you think through it and like listen to, to them as Christina was going through them, you'll, you'll realize about, about that critical thinking. Just how much is connection, how much is one topic, the pathophysiology, how it connects to the signs and symptoms, how the signs and symptoms connect to assessments and interventions and what do you do? And really that, that really gets you to understand how it all connects and get you out of the rut of just memorizing this list and not thinking about anything else. And as long as I memorize this list, I'm good to go. No, we want you to. Guys, guys to be the best nurses possible. And that's really thinking outside the box and thinking of all of these intricacies of a disorder and how to treat it and, and all the parts, those four main parts. And I'm not going to repeat it. Not going to do it.

Not going to do it. Do I do it? Is that my job?

If you want to, you can, you can do.

Okay, I'm going to do it again because it's my favorite thing ever. Okay, you guys ready for it? Here are the four key things that you need to know in med Surg. You ready? Are you ready? Pathophysiology. Say it with me. Say with me. Pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, nursing assessment and nursing interventions. Those are the four things that you are going to be tested on in Med Surge.

So step one, learn the patho. And after that, figure out how that patho leads or drives to the signs and symptoms, assessments and interventions. And that will help you a lot.

A lot. And I know, man, we have so many students now just joining us, but we have a crying baby upstairs, so I gotta go. So this happened yesterday too.

Those babies are just no sense of, what do you call it?
