I took gen chem, o chem, and biochem for my biology degree. You may be able to learn about the medications, but do you have any experience with them. Have you seen the effects of these drugs. Let's say you have a patient that is hypotensive and you are going to give some propofol. Have you ever seen what a bolus of propofol does to the hemodynamic status of a patient. Do you know how much to give (I know you can learn the dosages), but do you have any experience with giving the best dose to get the sedation without putting their bp in the toilet. Having had all those science classes that you must take and having the RN experience, I believe the experience is better for me.
