Welcome to your next level of Medical-Surgical Nursing!  In my biased opinion this type of nursing can be the most exciting and rewarding nursing there is.  I am looking forward to working with every one of you.

The clients that suffer from cardio-pulmonary disease are often critically ill. These clients require a nurse who is knowledgeable and able to think critically as well as quickly in a crisis situation. Through learning the material presented in class and practicing your skills in the clinical area we are certain that your confidence as an acute care nurse will grow and flourish.

This website is a work in progress.  I will attempt to post an activity or game related to each disease process I discuss in class.  I will also direct you to helpful websites.

Check back often this page is always changing and let me know about the typos!
