Course Description

This one-day course is designed to provide nurses with the tools, confidence and knowledge to successfully complete the Medical-Surgical Nursing Exam. This is a condensed version of the 2-Day Medical-Surgical Exam Review. The exam content outlines and blueprints from the ANCC and MSNCB® were used to develop this program. Topics covered from the exam content outlines will include review of body systems, cardiac, pulmonary, gastrointestinal and diabetes. Pathophys-iology of disease processes, including signs and symptoms and treatment modalities, will be presented. The nursing process and nursing practice roles in the management of patient care will be discussed through case scenarios and sample questions. Aspects of the practice domains will be addressed, and strategies for test-taking will also be covered.
