What does a student majoring in Nursing study?

You’ll learn the ins and outs of how the human body works, what causes people’s health to go awry, and which medical treatments and interventions help. Medical terms and abbreviations are unique and must be learned: NPO means nothing by mouth; qid means four times a day. Understanding medical terminology means you’ll need to learn the Latin and Greek derivations of terms used in clinical settings. Cyanosis is bluish discoloration: cyan (Greek root for blue) and osis (suffix meaning condition).
