PGIMER Nursing Officer study plan

Map the Medical-Surgical syllabus into body-system blocks and rank the top five exam-heavy areas (cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, renal, endocrine) by question likelihood

Build a one-page assessment sheet per system listing hallmark signs, first-line nursing actions, and red-flag deterioration cues

Practise 40 system-wise multiple-choice questions under timed conditions and log every wrong answer with the underlying concept gap

Draft a cardiac and respiratory drug-and-monitoring cheat sheet covering digoxin, diuretics, bronchodilators, oxygen delivery devices, and ABG interpretation

Work through perioperative nursing, fluid-electrolyte and acid-base balance, and shock management, writing out nursing priorities for each stage

Convert Fundamentals content into procedure checklists: admission and discharge, bed making, positioning, vital signs, and specimen collection

Demonstrate aseptic technique, sterile gloving, wound dressing, and catheter care on paper by sequencing each step and stating the rationale

Solve 50 mixed questions from domains 1 and 2 and re-test the previous week's error log

Cover remaining Medical-Surgical areas: musculoskeletal, integumentary, burns, oncology, and emergency-trauma first response

Master Fundamentals calculation set: IV drip rate, drug dosage, and intake-output recording, solving 30 problems without a calculator error

Summarise infection-prevention basics in Fundamentals (hand hygiene moments, isolation types, biomedical waste segregation) as a single reference card

Attempt one 60-question sectional mock on domains 1 and 2 and analyse the result by sub-topic

Chart the antenatal, intrapartum, and postnatal timeline and write the nursing actions expected at each stage, including partograph use

List high-risk obstetric conditions (pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, placenta praevia, PPH, obstructed labour) with warning signs and immediate nursing response

Build a paediatric growth-and-development milestone table by age band and a separate immunisation schedule with dose, route, and site

Solve 40 questions on obstetric and paediatric nursing, focusing on newborn resuscitation sequence and dehydration grading in children

Outline national health programmes, primary health care principles, and the role of ASHA, ANM, and sub-centre staff in community nursing

Compute community health indicators: incidence, prevalence, maternal mortality ratio, infant mortality rate, and immunisation coverage, using 20 practice sums

Classify mental health disorders by key features and match each to the therapeutic communication technique and nursing intervention used

Draft a mental status examination template and apply it to three written case vignettes

Draw and label the major body systems from memory, then verify against a reference and correct errors in a different colour

Summarise microbiology by organism, associated infection, and the isolation or sterilisation measure required, covering at least 15 organisms

Group high-yield drugs by class with mechanism, key adverse effect, nursing precaution, and antidote where applicable

Solve 50 integrated questions across anatomy, microbiology, and pharmacology and record accuracy by domain

Build a therapeutic diet reference for diabetes, renal disease, liver disease, hypertension, and pregnancy, stating permitted and restricted foods

Summarise nursing administration concepts: staffing norms, patient assignment methods, quality indicators, and legal and ethical responsibilities of a nurse

Outline the research process, sampling types, and basic statistics, then interpret a published nursing abstract in writing

Revise general awareness, reasoning, and basic computer operations through 30 short practice items covering file management, MS Office, and internet use

Complete three full-length timed mock tests simulating exam conditions and log scores against the 20/15/10/10 weighting

Revisit the consolidated error log from weeks 1 to 7 and rewrite corrected rationales for every repeated mistake

Condense all domain notes into a final 20-page rapid-revision booklet organised by high-yield facts

Rehearse calculation formulas and emergency protocols daily until each is reproduced from memory in under two minutes
