+itsKLife _ Ayeeeeeeeeeeeeee, congratulations for progressing into second semester! I'm glad you're still rocking with me here on this channel and I hope all is well with you as well ma'am! :) Keep on doing work and grinding!!

Thank you so much for making this straight to the point and giving such great information at the same time.

You are so right on about knowing the foundation of knowing normal A and P before you can even begin to understand pathophys. I have cared for children and adults who have had cardiac surgery to correct congenital heart defects and even today the physics of those defects makes my head spin. Imagine how the circulatory system works when you have only one ventricle and try to wrap your head around that. I could have used a guy like you when I was in school. You have a great system that can't fail. I ended up doing everything the hard way.

+Keepit Real, RN Well thanks boss! I hope this method to my madness pays off in the long run. Just trying to absorb these disease processes as best I can and actually RETAIN it (which isn't the easiest thing to do). But yes, those are very interesting cases man. You're right, it's very hard to fathom those kinds of things. But super intriguing.

Once again you have done it! So much time and energy to help us future nurses! You have no idea how much you have helped me wrap my journey and nursing school!

Thank you so much! Will be starting med surg and pharm in the spring 17' and I will sure use your method. I've following your channel for some time now 😊Big congrats on your graduation and the new job... you can finally put those two letters behind your name!

Thank you for this video. I will be starting Med-Surg in the spring. I was trying to get a head start on thing. You helped me out a lot. Thank you again.

I’m definitely saving this video because I’ll be needing it soon!

I'm still a year away from Nursing School (crossing fingers) and that made more sense to me than things my pre-health professors have tried to explain. Motivation indeed. I'll be coming back to your channel for study tips definitely. Thanks!

I start Med/Surg in 3 weeks and this video was so helpful. Thank you so much on the heads up. I'm going to do a quick review of A&P and Patho of the systems.

Just finishing my first quarter of nursing school. Fundamentals class was kinda hard to grasp because they cover little pieces of everything. Thank you so much for all your videos...they have helped me understand the concepts better. Up next is pathophysiology so I will plan to approach my studies with the steps you presented here...makes alot of sense to me! Sorry for rambling, but thanks again!

Thank you so much for being very detail and straight to point. I totally agree with you in the last part. Why?! Is always the root to the answer. Looking forward to passing Med Surg!!!

I love the way you broke this down

This is extremely timely for me. Thank you sooooooooo much for this! You have no idea!!!!

I love your videos! I start my 2nd nursing semester on the 28th with Adult Health 1 (Med-Surg 1) 1st half and OB 2nd half. I've heard so many horror stories about Med-Surg. I'm super nervous but excited at the same time. Watching your "How To Study For Med-Surg" video (1000 times lol) makes me feel I can conquer this beast! I have created a template/table for each disease process with your 6 steps. Are there any updated material breakdown or study strategies you recommend for Med-Surg?

thank you so much my next semester is med surg and I'm kinda nervous about it!!

thanks for the video.. I'm in medsurg now and was struggling to keep my head above water. but now I know that is all about knowing patho, s.s, diagnostic, and nursing interventions. I just found out about the matrix system too,it helps to put all the diseases on one paper.

The only reason I wouldn't teach is because of the time necessary to go to school for it, and the pay. Other than that, it is something that I could totally see myself doing.

Just had my first exam and I completely bombed it..... with that being said, this video is going to save my life.

you should teach!!!

56 subscribers to 59k. Congrats. Whew oh awhile ago I mentioned videos online that break down chapters... was is that nrsng...or nurse mastery? 1/4 of class don't show to lecture lol...bc the teacher doesn't add to power points. So we literally are self teaching each other but it's like the blind leading the blind. Program is on its 3rd director in 4 years. So idk if it's the profs and new curriculum changes or what. I know the weight will be on my shoulders bc I took patho and pharmacology already...but I learned both from an M D. Which going to sound weird it doesn't translate to nursing how I was taught. I know my class is going to lean on me for this though. My clinical prof is an n.p and just told me just get through the program and do what you got to do and go N.P. Idk there is like a separation between the new profs and old ones...and I think we are feeling that. So .....i might be carrying this Spring semester. Any advice? I have the Saunders nclex review...my old patho book. Got a 98.8 % in patho but how we had to learn it was so fast...in 10 weeks.. I memory dumped it. We did 2 systems every week. Anyway still trying to hunt vids that break down each chapter. Our nursing situation is that bad. If I don't carry the load I don't see half passing. Thanks man. Wrote longer than I thought.

Oh and your dosage calculation video was the truth. Those areas that you covered where my mistakes that I corrected going forward. It definitely helped a lot. Appreciate it.

Ofc. Nurses are the proofreaders of the physicians. What makes you think physicians don’t cover pathophysiology? A physician looks at the Dx like scientist when a nurse is more therapeutic and holistic.

Hi, can you message me? I'm currently at the end of the Med Surg 2 and it's not easy! I did excellent in Respiratory, and GU, but GI just won't stick. No matter how many hours I spend studying it, it still wasn't enough. I could really use some studying advice because I tend to have a hard time weeding out the info I don't really need to know or focus on, so I overthink and look into EVERYTHING in the chapter....Am I studying too long in one sitting? What? Please! Anything you can tell me to help me study better would be a life saver. I have Med-Surg finals coming up, and I need to be sharp & kick ass.

+Jashonda Suber I would highly recommend this video from Nurse Nacole. It's super phenomenal in breaking down exactly how to weed out that bullcrap "filler information" that those textbooks are chock-full of and get right down to the nitty gritty, need-to-know information. I really hope you find it helpful and good luck to you on your Finals! Also, I would recommend studying one topic at a time, for as long as it takes. And THEN take a break, maybe 30 minutes. I wouldn't study for longer than 2 hours in a sitting. That's what works for me anyways. Here is her video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/loSVrpOae6nHoNo.html
