-: The running joke is that with nursing school
or with nursing in general,
20% of what you need to become a nurse
is the four years you spend in school
and that's pretty accurate.
When I went straight into in-patient,
80% of it was just learning the policies
and the way the doctors run and their preferences
but going to the office,
those four years were critical to have that knowledge base
to know, like I said, which questions to ask,
what kind of complications you're looking at.
Even going back to the prerequisites.
So anatomy and physiology, I use that everyday.
Not even going into the school of nursing.
Aside from that,
they have each specialty so they have adult care,
women's health, I, of course use the most
but like critical care, they had,
I can't remember, two or three
semesters of critical care
and that every single aspect of nursing
is gonna touch on that.
It would probably be just having that knowledge base
to keep growing yourself.
Science is always changing.
Medicine is always changing.
The policies are always changing.
So having those resources, knowing which journal to look at,
I also have doctors that I know I can text or call
to ask questions all the time
and just constantly growing yourself and that knowledge base
is what's gonna make you stand out in my field
