Anything that’s taught in nursing school that you never use?

[Crystal Baker Shoaie]

Nursing school prepares you for so much, but there are always going to be gaps between what you learn and what you actually do. I'm like to hear what topics or skills any of you feel were overemphasized in your education compared to their real-world application. What did you think would be essential but turned out to be not so much?

Memorizing the Krebs cycle always felt a bit off. I mean, it is useful to know how everything works, but there was practical knowledge that was way more useful than the 36 steps of this cycle.
