Infection outbreaks at hospitals could be reduced by copper-coated uniforms - Doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals could soon be wearing uniforms brushed with tiny copper nanoparticles to reduce the spread of bacterial infections and viruses at hospitals.

No, nurse does not cover more than RN... this is a misconception I specifically see on Reddit all the time, which leads to many degrading us and devaluing the education and work RN’s go through to become a nurse. I’ve been frequenting Reddit for a couple months now and I’ve seen at least 3 posts (mostly in starter packs) portraying nurses as either stupid, trashy, or both. We are often grouped together with CNA’s. Do you know what it took for me to become a CNA before I was a nurse? 14 days of class and a measly state exam I didn’t even crack a book open for. It took me a bachelor’s degree, many sleepless nights, and brutal preparation to pass the national exam to become an RN.
