This two-day course is designed to provide nurses with the tools, confidence and knowledge to successfully complete the Medical-Surgical Nursing Exam.

Pathophysiology of disease processes including signs and symptoms and treatment modalities will be presented.

All aspects of the Practice Domains will be addressed at the end of Day 2 and strategies for test-taking will also be covered.
