Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

Alloramadai · May 15, 2005

What is your biggest pet peeve about being in nursing school or things that happened while you were in nursing school???
Don't you hate it when:
you study your *$$ off and still dont get an A!
when you hear nursing students say "ewww thats gross" or "it stinks in here, im gonna throw up" or "ew i cant chage a depends thats so gross" -that drives me nuts! i dont know how these students will make it in the world of nursing....
come on nursing students i know we all have something that really irks us about school (even though we all loooove it!)....

when people are late to class

when "no cell phones" only pertains to some of the students

when there's always an expert in the class

when people talk and giggle, have their own "sidebar" conversations

Wow! I feel so much better. Thanks for a great thread. :chuckle

People who walk out of an exam saying..

"That exam was a joke !" *said in best prissy voice

With them knowing darn well it wasn't for everybody.

OMG!!!!! you totally just reminded me of one of my BIGGEST pet peeves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It drives me CRAZY when people bring their cell phone to class and dont turn off the ringer!!! I think it is soooo rude to interrupt the class when your tacky cell phone plays a really awful christina agulaira song...if i were the teacher id be less than happy if my lecture got interruped by a cell phone...oh and those who answer them in class..im not even going to go there...

oh and it also drives me crazy when...that one person who NEVER comes to class wants to copy YOUR homework or class notes!! I always feel bad and cant say NO but sometimes I want to!

lol...guess I had more to vent than I thought...keep posting guys so that I have more to vent about it feels good lol!

We had this one lady who did stand up and told everyone to shutup. She was the eldest in the class so everyone..including the proff for a second...shut up. It was hilarious !!!! :rotfl:

God luv her.

Oh, oh, oh.....

we have an "expert" in our class who wears an earbug (?), and then races down the stairs in the classroom to take her call. I'm sorry...I have important things to do too, but at this point in time, the most important thing is class. I can see an occasional instance, but this is every class period!

z's playa · May 15, 2005

How about the student with a prior degree in a certain field that needs to point it out ALL-THE-TIME!!!!!!!!!!

IN class !!!!

AND proceeds to argue with the prof at any given moment for any point at all !!!

Ugh.... :rolleyes:

Putting myself all out on this one. I'm a nontraditional student, 40 something, with two teenagers. I do have another degree (fire science); however, I always remember what my parents taught me. Treat others as you want to be treated. My kids know better than to call me during classes!

LMAO....weren't those "earbugs" meant for DRIVNG!?!?! I know they werent meant for the classroom! ok i'll prob get burned for this one but it kinda drives me crazy when people bring their small children to class...kudos to all those who have kids but I dont think the classroom is the place for them...especially when they make a lot of noise bc they are bored to death!
