How students use this book
Medical-Surgical (Med-Surg) Nursing textbooks are the workhorse of second-year BSN curriculum and the largest content area on the NCLEX-RN (~50% of items). Read systematically by body system rather than cover-to-cover; pair each chapter with NCLEX practice questions in the same content area. Med-Surg is reread heavily during NCLEX dedicated study — don't sell this book until after your licensure exam.
