About Straight A Nursing: Study for nursing school exams and NCLEX
In this show, Maureen Osuna, MSN, RN (Nurse Mo) breaks down a wide range of nursing school concepts so they’re easy to understand. Each episode aims to help nursing students improve their study techniques, pass nursing school exams, and feel more confident in clinical. If you’re nervous about nursing school, not “getting it” in lecture, or feeling overwhelmed with all the information you have to learn, this podcast will help you optimize your study time so you can learn more with less stress. While nursing school is challenging, it doesn’t have to be impossible. When concepts are explained in a way that “just makes sense”, nursing students have better recall on exams, feel more confident working with patients in clinical, and are better prepared for NCLEX. Nurse Mo understands the struggles nursing students face and draws on more than 11 years of clinical experience to make nursing school less intimidating. Each episode removes the “fluff” and focuses on the key things a nursing student (and nurse) needs to know about a variety of disease conditions. The show also provides tips for succeeding in nursing school, guidance for students and new nurses, and insider information to help you excel at the bedside.

Published 21 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] So first, let's look at MRI and MRA. So MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging. It's primarily used to look at soft tissues and structures within the body. Think Brain tissue, spinal cord tissue, muscles, ligaments, tumors, areas of inflammation, organs. When providers order an MRI, they're often asking, what does the tissue look like? I want to see it. So an MRI can help identify multiple sclerosis lesions, brain tumors, spinal cord abnormalities, ligament injuries, areas of ischemic stroke. Basically, we're looking at tissues. So in stroke patients, for example, MRI is often obtained after the initial emergency evaluation because it is very sensitive for detecting ischemic injury to brain tissue. […]
