Are you a nursing student who struggles to understand nursing concepts your professor is teaching you? Do you wish there was a simple bite sized podcast to help further your knowledge base? Then you've found the right podcast. Nitty Gritty Nursing is a podcast designed for nursing students trying to understand how to care for different types of patients you might encounter with an acute care focus. Disclaimer: refer to whatever your nursing faculty want you to know. This is just me talking about the different topics and key considerations of nursing care and patho that a nurse should know.
