No, you will not have to know all 550 diseases. You will have to demonstrate critical, prudent, reasonable thing, a foundation of knowledge, and the ability to seek information needed to practice.

Do well in the subjects you are taking now, anddo well in each course as it comes. You eat an elephant one bite at a time.

[Cs Jinx]

Good gaaaa...... Im so delighted now, knowing all doesnt have to be learned!

[WalMart_ADN]

nope, just know where to look it up shoudl you need to know it.

[passing thru]

Ditto. You simply need to know which resource to use...where to go to find the information you need, whether it is a disease, a medication , a lab, ;etc.

I like that elephant rule.......how appropriate for student nurses.

Hi,

I'm a nursing student going into my senior year, but right now I'm off for the remainder of the summer, but working on Med/Surge Unit at a major hospital. I've noticed that when the RN's or LPN's are caring for a patient who has a disease that is rare or that they haven't learned yet they look it up online on the hospitals medical reference pages or go to www.CDC.com. It would be too difficult to learn every single disease there is known to man. I recommend learning about the most common ones and then reference the ones you happen to come across and are unsure about. Hope that helps!!!!!

[Momof2Bys2Grls]

That is great to know because I'm undecided about OBNursing or Peds!!! That was way to many illnesses.
