Smile Re: Nursing School Morale
I totally agree I cannot stand about 80% of my class. I have made 3 close friends I have made and actually an instructor who has since quit has become a good friend. I have nothing in common with them, Im 40 and in my class all the young ones seem to talk about is drinking, and getting lucky. myself and my 3 friends are referred to as the menopause table. we seem to be the last ones to leave clinical we are not just concerned with the patients we have been assigned.
I will go to graduation because I earned it and I deserve it, but as soon as that day is over it would not bother me one little bit if I never see (other than my buds) them ever again.
I was really hoping this would be a good experience and it has been a nightmare

In the beginning everyone was Luvvy Dubby. At the end, we were scratching each others eyes out. I was an older student 34 yrs old and could not get over the immaturity of some of the 19 and 21 yr olds in my class. Now don't get me wrong, there were some that were very mature but there were a few that got on my last nerve. They had no respect for the teachers and often cursed during their comments in class. Only 2 or 3 were interested in planning graduation ceremonies. All the rest wanted to complain and sit back. I was so ready to get away from these people and start my life again. I only keep in touch with about 5 people.

yup this was my nursing class as well. There were hateful arguments, students letting the air out of tires of other students, literal fights in the parking lot, we even had a scandal over someone accusing another student of having an affair with their spouse the police had to show up for that one, we had students lying about other students to try and get them kicked out of school. I found it best to just focus on my schooling and not even get involved with anyone, or any of the drama. I made it out alive and got my license.

I am SO surprised that in a profession with people that want to help...other ..people, this is so prevalent. In a profession where it's assumed that generally nurses have hearts of gold. I dont get it we are there to care for people or are we.
Serious question so why is the morale so awful???! I dont have a problem with anyone in the class but im sure there are comments about me just because it is a miserable class. I march to the beat of my own drum and dont allow these folks to get to me ALTHOUGH im glad to finally get away from them.
More people are talking to me now and im scratching my head. i think it was the tension of the program that may have kept folks on end....
