Annoying things taught in nursing college
I'm second year. Yesterday we had to start preparing a short presntation for today, so, just about 24 hours to do it, total. All members had to contribute. My group had 4 counting me, one had 7,and on down to a group that had 2.
Of the subjects to choose from, three were directly geared toward the obesity epidemic, but then, it is of major concern, and at least, my group didn't choose obesity (I would have balked if the others tried for it, not that they knew).
Among the more or less brainwashed statements (I am being kind, but many of my fellow students are very young), one stood out:
Apparently, one of the more prominent reasons, according to one of the groups, why the official dietary recommendations from the government regarding fruit and vegetables (basically, five-a-day) aren't followed more closely by families with children, is because, "maybe the parents are like, following one of those faddy, low carb diets, and putting the kids on it, too".
Yes, my fellow students, and the teachers teaching them, are indeed brainwashed. After all, low carb people eat no vegetables and no fruits at all. It's been my experience that if anything, we start eating MORE. Certainly I did. I may remember more examples tomorrow, but am in dire need of some sleep right now.
