I am a student but have a question for individuals who are already employed as a nurse.
Do you ever study at home about things your patients may be going through?
How often do you keep abreast with new research on diseases, treatment, etc.?
Is this just stuff you learn from being in the field?
Do you regularly (or occasionally) keep up out of your own curiosity?
I am asking because I find myself studying more than what my assignments require simply out of my own curiosity and don't see this changing once I'm actually in practice. But want to see if others experience this and ALSO find the time/have the energy for it!
Thanks for your time answering!
