Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

ROTFLMAO!!

I totally took it the other way!! i am sorry! thats too funny. but you know we do get ppl on threads that get like that! i was trying to defend our complaining!! lol.. we all have that right!

-H-

Definitely!
We all have to get it out somehow. This is a nice place to come together and share our frustrations...as only other nursing students can truly understand.

Oh here we go.....

1) I barely know you. Heck, 75% of the people you approach barely know you. Please don't troll around the whole classroom asking everyone what they made just so you can hopefully feel better about your own grade. It's annoying.

2) Don't argue with the instructor just because you believe you're right.

3) Please don't complain to me when the instructor was specific about things we were supposed to study for the exam and you didn't see fit to follow those instructions.

4) How do you remember every single question on the exam? And why do you have to give me a 5 minute speech about why you put a specific answer for every question? A 5 minute explanation including your rationale for doing so. I don't care, I'd rather discuss that episode of Grey's! :P

5) Did you really just say you're here for the money?? Seriously?

6) Just because you have kids does not mean you deserve my sympathy. I may not have them, but I have things going on in my life as well. I don't rant and rave about those to you, so why do you feel the need to talk about how hard it is with kids 24/7/365. I'm sure it is, but we're all going through things.

In other areas......

7) Thanks for making me laugh when I was so stressed out that I was ready to give up. Thanks for knowing what was going to make me smile that particular clinical day.

8) Thanks for all those late night phone chats where we said "We HAVE to get to bed, we have to be up for clinical at 4:30!" and just kept right on talking.

9) Thanks for the venting sessions in the medicine/supply room where we'd regroup and go back out to keep on trucking through the day.

10) Thanks for the inside jokes that I will never forget and for the friendships I am a better person for having.

Ok, here goes.

1) I am busting my butt off in this class. I really don't care to share what my grade was on the last test.

2) Ok, so we can't do the retest. It's ONLY 3 pts for heaven's sake. Quit arguing with the teacher so we can take this test I've been stressing out on for the last week!

3) Would you PLEASE stop talking about how so-and-so screwed up? We're supposed to be here supporting each other, not knocking each other down. This school is stressful and hard enough as it is. We've lost ENOUGH people already this semester, it's not helping if you're making snide comments about somebody.

4) Leave all problems, personal conflicts etc OUTSIDE of the floor during clinicals. We only have a certain amount of time on the floor to do what we have to. It's not going to make anyone look good (or earn browine pts with the clinical instructor) if you're refusing to help someone who needs help with a pt just because you have a "personal" problem with them.

Ok, I feel better now.

Hey I have kids, and yes it is going to be really hard to be doing this with littles at home who want as much of me as nursing school does. Will you try not to hold that against me, especially if I am empathetic with you about the challenges in your world that are making things tough for you? It's not a contest to see who has it the worst. Let's BOTH try to help each other succeed, beating whatever odds are against us, OK?!?!

1) Just because you know I dislike you doesn't mean I start nasty rumors about how you and your friends cheated on the test. Actually, the *friend* you talk to every day is the one that started the rumor because she obviously wasn't in on it.

2) I wouldn't be surprised if the rumor was true. Or please explain how students who are all little friends, went from failing miserably to a perfect score.

3) I don't care if you cheat because you'll fail eventually or you'll get caught, and I will be glad you did.

4) How did you get into the program anyway?

5) If you pass...God help us all.

6) I may be young, single, and seemingly without responsibility, but I come from a single parent home, I help to raise 3 kids, I have to work full time to provide for my family and myself, I don't have a single day of the week off, and I still don't complain as much as you. Don't you dare tell me I have it easy when you know nothing about my situation.

8) NS is not high school girls!

9) I'm impressed how you just woke up one day and decided to go to NS without knowing anything about the profession because I have wanted and worked for this all my life. I admire your courage and willingness to stick with it, but I can't understand why you're still here if you have figured out by now you hate it.

10) Thanks for being my friend; I don't know how I would fit in if it wasn't for you.

To my pre-req classmates:

1. It's bad enough that you cheat, but do you have to be so open about it? Have you no shame?

2. It was your choice to miss the exam because you wanted to take your road test. You're lucky that the prof is still letting you make it up WEEKS later. Don't tell her that it's OK, since she will drop the lowest score anyway. ...Um, no she won't, who the heck told you that?!

3.Let's see, you can barely make it to class, you don't do your own assignments, and you sit there during lab and do nothing. Exactly WHO is going to practice the nursing skills for you?

4. Don't look at me. The reason I don't speak to you AT ALL is because I don't EVER want you to think you can ask me to let you copy my work. Again, DON'T LOOK AT ME.

5.All that effort to cheat and all you could manage was a C....Hmmm, seems to me that studying would have been the easier route to an A.

I love you. You are a great bunch. Together we can make it.

1. You're a cheater, a liar, a slacker, and you lack common sense. I seriously doubt youre going to pass the program. If somehow you do, I seriously doubt you'll pass NCLEX. If you somehow manage that, I'm still pretty sure youre going to kill somebody. Please find another profession!!!

2. Ummm...shut up about the dosage math being "tricky" and pointless or stupid or whatever. t's elementary arithmetic and basic algebra. (But I truly do feel for anyone stuggling with it).

3. Cheat all you want, but that aint gonna help you pass NCLEX.

4. No, no, the reason you failed clinical and your with our class now is because wht you did was a big deal. Stop trying to minimize it and stop trying to turn us against that teacher.

5. How can you be so wrong, so often?
I don't remember if I put A, B, C, or D. You think I memorize test questions?

6. I studied for 20 minutes right before the test, you guys study over 8 hrs a day every day, and I still got the better grade. LOL @ you!!!!!!

7. Huddling up in the hallways during clinicals really makes you look bad.

8. Actually, I dont think the question was unfair. I think you dont have a clue.
