Nursing School Morale

Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

Published

Just would like to share some advice. My class was extremely divided from beginning to end. In the beginning, there were very disagreeable people...actually just one, then there was another one, divisive, complaining disagreeable person. These people were very, very vocal and always nasty to everyone (except the professors of course). The Professors did not nip it in the bud and so it continued throughout the entire program.

Other students followed suit and then, it was just one very divisive class. This was sad. At the end, what should have been a happy, celebrated event turned into a twisting of arms and begging for participation and begging for our program to be half way decent. Needless to say the divisive, disagreeable parties are not participating in anything except the pinning ceremony. These parties create tension, arguments and division always/never failed. If they were a part of your group..like clockwork there was a problem and another and another.

Out of this i have learned and would like to share, it is your class, keep things on a positive note, help out your classmates, smile and know we may all meet up some where down the road and even if we dont:: why make a difficult experience even more difficult. Negativity is contagious!

My class morale is completely GONE! Hope you make yours better. :trout:

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....:welcome:

I start school in two weeks...I will not do drama...I do not do drama...I will keep you posted!
