From Kati Kleber, MSN RN CCRN-K
Nurse educator, author, and owner of FreshRN®
Learning how to be a safe, effective, and efficient med-surg nurse is challenging. We created the ultimate resource for nurses new to this complex and dynamic acute care nursing specialty.
I was once completely overwhelmed as a new med-surg nurse too
Whether you are fresh out of nursing school or an experienced nurse starting out in med-surg for the first time, the learning curve is steep.
Back in 2010, when I was preparing for my first day on the floor was really important to me, but I didn't know what to look up, read, or study.
I spent hours scouring the internet for help, but it was full of the same tips and general advice. It was either geared towards nursing school, or highly technical and over my head.
This course is everything I wished I had when I was starting my first acute care nursing job - and more.
Time management, assertiveness, and prioritization tips
Learn not only what to do, but how to effectively manage your time in a realistic way on a busy med-surg unit.
Common disease processes and accompanying problems
We outline only the must-know information: Abbreviated pathophysiology, unique assessment findings, typical patient pathway, treatments, complications, and nursing considerations for the top disease processes impacting your patients.
Videos, audio files, downloads, and more!
Each module has both a text and audio option to accommodate different learning preferences. Many modules have videos and downloads to print and bring to the unit!
