Figure 1, Get It!

Figure 1 is an app that you can get that is what people are jokingly referring to as the "Instagram for doctors". But it's not just for doctors! As part of setting up you're account they ask what part you play in the medical field, for example being an RN. Once you finish your profile you get to see pictures that anyone and everyone around the world are posting. They branch from simple examples of diseases or rashes to asking for advice or second opinions from those of the same profession. Be prepared though, you better have a strong stomach before mindlessly scrolling through the pictures, however, it is a great learning tool and can also be a great assistance to you as you further your education.
Side-effects may include: causing your neighbor nausea, weird fascination with things you didn't know existed, and actually learning something.
Good luck future nurses, we can do this!
P.S. here's the link to the online version (I wouldn't recommend looking at it in public)
