I was talking with friends the other night and we came up with a pretty extensive list of skills/facts we wish they had taught us as part of out nursing education. For new and old alike: What do you wish they had taught you in nursing school that would have helped most when you started in practice? Or, that do the new grads comming out lack that you wish they had been taught? I don't want a put down session about new grads- I'm hoping to hear new ideas for improving the way we educate the next generation of nurses.
