Nursing Practice!!

We are now moving into more clinic applications of microbiology. Today we practiced doing nose swabs! Yeah, I know it doesn't sound all the fun to some people, but we all had a blast. I swabbed my partner's nose and we did a spread plate of the sample. We will see what grew on Tuesday.

The process was simple. First, we had to wet the swab in a saline solution so that bacteria would stick to the swab

The next step was swabbing. It wasn't as awkward as it looks. Not my best picture. Oh the things we do for school. Well, we'll see you next week!! :)
