Should i already know this

Published

Am i expected to already know what all these diseases are already. Were they supposed to teach these in A&P or Micro??? i am freaking out because i am reading through my books and in my Med Surge Book there are tons of diseases and i have heard of some, but the others i have no clue about. I'm afraid that i am already supposed to know them. Like Dyspnea i never even head of that until i opened my care plan book. Now i did read a lot of medical journals and living with parents who are Nurse and Doctor i know about a some diseases, but not many.

Specializes in Telemetry & Obs.

Andy, if you already knew it all there'd be no need for nursing school ;)

Just wait until the end of the semester when you look back at all that you've learned!! You'll be amazed :)

TrueRn-- yes i guess your right

After getting feedback from all of you im not to worried about that, i just did not want to go into this unprepared.

DAYTONITE-- yes i have the Mosby's that will crush bones if used as a weapon lol. I hear they are coming out with a PDA version of the Mosby's mecial dictionary for nurses, at least i could have sworn i seen it on skyscape.

Is Med/Surge usually when you start to hear about diseases and how they affect body systems etc??
