SOLUTION to Bio-205L Microbiology Lab - Summary of Current Course Content Knowledge.
SAMPLE 1
Hello class,
In the course of my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program, I have to admit that this is one of the classes I have been looking forward to the most. This is because I believe some of the concepts will be crucial in my profession as an Emergency Room (ER) nurse. After carefully reviewing the course objectives, I can justify my anticipation as I clearly see the immense value and knowledge it will bring to my current role and future nursing career. One of the advantages I have is that my work in the emergency room has provided me with some foundational knowledge relevant to this course. First, I am familiar with laboratory safety guidelines and have a basic understanding of microscope use. I have also observed various bacterial morphologies, albeit not in great detail. Furthermore, my hands-on work has also given me practical exposure to disease transmission and antimicrobial testing, however, I look forward to a deeper comprehension of these concepts.
Nonetheless, there are several areas where my knowledge is limited or non-existent. I have little experience with specific staining techniques such as Gram stain, acid-fact stain, and endospore stain. Additionally, the concepts of bacterial transformation and plasmid DNA are also new to me as well as the complexity of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and gel electrophoresis. Also, while I have worked in the lab, the intricate biochemical tests that are performed to identify germs are not something I am very familiar with.
As we progress through the course, I am particularly interested in understanding how bacterial staining techniques can improve my interpretation of lab results in the ER setting. Moreover, I am also aware of the growing concern of antibiotic resistance, thus I am keen to discuss the implications of bacterial transformation for patient care. I look forward to connecting with my classmates and our instructor to explore these fascinating topics.
