This module made me realize that you need to know the information, but you also need to have reasoning and judgment because every situation is different. It does not matter how smart you are if you cannot apply that information to various different situations it is not going to do you any good. It is more about your ability to apply concepts to patients than it is to memorize definitions and do things exactly by the book every time. Each patient is not a cookie cutter situation. I realized it before, but this module solidified it for me. As a nurse it is so important to have creative mind to be able to apply your knowledge. To me that is why nursing is science, but it is also an art.
