I’m not even in health care and I have a reasonable understanding of how dna, rna, translation and transcription work. Do nurses not learn this stuff?

- davrosthedalek 6y agoNot sure about nurses, but a broad section of the population does not know how percentages work. This is true for almost all countries. The width in science skills is breathtaking.
- f6v 6y agoYou’d be surprised how many software developers have no idea how https works.
- viggity 6y agolol. no. no way. I would guess that about 2/3 of our nurses could give you the 8th grade explanation of dna - "a sperm and an egg each contribute half of each chromosome and that is the instruction book on how to make every cell blah blah blah". rna, translation and transcription. I don't think a single one would know. They need to know the common drugs in their field, how to take vitals, when to raise the red flag to a physician. That's it. That is all still super important, if they don't use it at least once a year, they're not going know.
