Did you just completely skip every biology course throughout high school and college?
The human body is fucking complex. Staggeringly, mind-bogglingly so.
And that's just our bodies. Add in just one component of nursing, like medication. We don't even know how most of the drugs we take work - called 'mechanism of action'. We don't know. We just know the shit does work.
Now think about everything that can go wrong with a human body. Nurses are the front line workers that have to deal with that.
Try to think a little before you type next time.
- AuryGlenz 6y agoI know a couple of RNs well and went to a school where approximately half of the students were going for nursing. What you’re describing is what doctors deal with, not nurses. My grandpa was just in the hospital and ornery due to not having any nicotine in him, but the nurses sure as hell couldn’t give him a patch without a doctor’s order, nor should they be able to. Nurses know some anatomy, major no-nos, and how to do things like place a catheter, an IV, etc. Don’t get me wrong, they’re absolutely essential, but I’ve regularly been amazed at the lack of medical knowledge at least some RNs have. My sister is one, and she’s coming home to visit my parents for Thanksgiving. My dad has lupus and finished cancer treatment this year. She thinks it’s ok as long as none of the patients she sees today have symptoms of COVID. The term incubation period means nothing to her, and that’s just one example.
