My professors said the best nurse educators (people who sit down with the patient to explain stuff like how to take their own blood sugar) can write and present at a fifth grade level. I’m extra hamstrung because in psychiatry you take that existing average American reading level and apply it to someone who’s also either panicked, pissed off, grieving, or preoccupied with a hallucination, delusion, or compulsion. I got a compliment the other day though for explaining why a drug level needed to be drawn at a specific time relative to the next dose so! <3
