Rude disruptive classmates (Vent)

Nursing Students LPN/LVN Students

Published

I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem...

I'm in the first round of my LPN program and while there are a lot of students (like myself) who actively participate and are actually interested in the material and WANT to do well, there is a large (and it seems growing) of rude people who will audibly groan and roll there eyes whenever someones hand goes up, ***** and complain about EVERYTHING, will trash talk people within earshot (normally they are accused of being suckups, know-it-alls, etc.) and generally act like they are bored to tears and terribly inconvenienced to be in school in the first place.

Am I missing something here? I paid a very large sum of money to go to my school and made a LOT of sacrifices to go there, not to mention I'm preparing for my CAREER. So I'm going to ask as many questions as I need to and I'm going to treat my teachers with respect because they are GRADING me for gods sake, and I'm going to treat my fellow classmates with respect because we are supposed to be on the same team. I am trying to just let it roll off my back but it's aggravating when I know that whatever question I ask I'm likely going to have the answer yelled at me by 3 other students and then hear someone go "oh my GOD!" in the background. I'm just curious to hear from those of you who have completed or are further along in school... Is this going to continue the whole time? Or is this just what happens before the "weeding out"? I normally am not one to have ill-wishes but my gosh I can't wait for some of these idiots to fail out of the program :icon_roll

MattiesMama - are you in my class by chance??? lol.............I'm soo tired of the whiners and complainers and the students that talk/text/sleep! in class, then complain when they flunk a test. Seems at least 1/2 of my class is failing a particular subject, and when teacher gives us an assignment designed to help us bring out grade up - worth 100 points if you turn it in.....complain that they can't believe she is giving them so much work! same people that complained about failing, but not happy about a chance to bring up their average????:angryfire

R u in wright college?

This thread just further illustrates that there are whiny, annoying classmates to be found in all nursing programs! I truly don't mind the people who ask questions because they are not "getting it", but the constant complaining about the work load, or "hard tests", etc. are really getting to me. As is the texting in class and sleeping in class, then cheating on the test!!!
