At the beginning, Jay does not get validation from the patient when he asks her if it was alright to “call [her] Mrs.T.” He straight up calls her Mrs. T when they first met.

With an ever-limited and aging workforce, a decrease in available resources, a more acutely ill patient population and a profound period of change within the National Health Service (NHS) today’s…

LOOK BACK As the Pathotherapeutics course reaches its end with only one test left to pass, I, however, feel very uncertain whether I succeeded in this course or not. The material covered in the course was not new or difficult to understand, in fact, I believe, I took very similar course during my Practical Nursing program. I did learn some new treatment options for disease and refreshed my previous knowledge; I generally satisfied with my progression in the course; however, the unknown mark for…
