:( Ok, well im 18 years old and along with 3 other girls in my class, we are the youngest. The four of us sit together with another student and she is in her 30's. Well....first off, this woman has been trying my patience since the first day i met her. We were all sitting together talking and she asked a very personal question ( i feel it was just plain RUDE ) She said, "Do you have sex in your parents house?!" (we were talking about our parents and rules that we have since we are still living at home). Keep in mind that this was one of the FIRST times that i had ever spoken to the woman. I feel that she thought it was ok to ask such an INAPPROPRIATE question because of my age, therefore showing me no respect. I mean i dont think she would've asked a woman her age about there sex life! I feel i was disrespected because I am so young.

Well, TODAY...we were learning how to feed a patient, so we paired up and fed eachother ( it was real funny!)...well, the woman turns to me and another one of the 18 year old students and says, " Doesnt this bring you back, way back when, you know like 2 years ago...hahahaha". WELL...i turned right to the B*T*H, and said..."At least Im not OLD" ( shes always saying how old she feels) the other girls looked at me like " OHMAGOD!" i really wanted to TELL HER OFF tho!!! im gonna stand up for myself, im not gonna let her think shes better than me just because she got some years on me. im mean WHERE DOES SHE GET OFF!?!?!?!!

...well thanks for listening to me complain, and if anybody has any advice or comments about this...let me know..thanks

Case in point- Patient presents in the ER complaining of severe chest pains. This patient is an older patient, alcoholic, and also a frequent flyer. The nurse took one look at him (no physical assessment) and stated "He's just complaining about nothing, he's drug seeking!" and proceeded to ignore this patient. Well this patient crashed (major) and luckily and "older" nurse was there to bring him back. NEVER, EVER, JUDGE ANYONE!!!! I don't care if you are 18 and they are 40. Everyone can learn from someone else! Maturity in life is the best teacher ever.

Perhaps, Melisita, you might look at the "older" student and seek to learn something from her life experiences. Talk to her and get to know the real person. I'm not saying go out and party with her, just acknowledge that everyone has allot to learn in life no matter what their age is!!!
