So it has only been one week into classes, but it feels like a month! My Genetics course is really interesting, I've always liked genes (rough joke). I am also taking an Art History class to mix things up and learn a little about 19th Century Art. Along with those classes I am taking Organic II, Calculus II, and helping a classmate with her research.
For the research we will be taking swabs of nursing students name badges, stethoscopes, and their clothing/scrubs. The purpose of the research is to find out what bacteria is on each item in comparison to when the nursing students first began their classes in a non-health care environment. From the results we hope to improve aseptic technique to ensure an environment with less bacterial transmission. The nursing department is highly supportive and it will be a pleasure to work with all the students!
Alright...well today entails much work and RA small group selection. Have a wonderful Sunday!
Here are photos from break!
