I just had to come here and vent because I am in danger of putting my foot wrong. It's just five weeks to the end of the semester and I don't want to jeopardise my progress.
In my class, there is a student who is a LOUD MOUTH. She is forever asking questions, in class, skills lab,clinicals everywhere. The most annoying thing is that after asking questions she doesn't stay quiet long enough to hear the answers!
Sometimes,the question she is asking is for "her personal knowledge" according to her. It's worse during the lab, because if she can stay quiet long enough, the instructor is going to talk about the next step she wants to ask about.
Lately, we have been having the same instructor during lab, and she is always telling the students, hold on, we haven't goten there yet or something along those lines. And then you see this particular student, rolling her eyes, muttering and just been generally rude.
Yesterday,was the final straw. The skills lab was so disruptive that I couldn't focus and I wasn't the only one. Non-stop questions, side conversations,one of her friend storming out of the class because the instructor told her to wait when she was asking a question, I could see my other classmates angry and frustrated as well because she just wouldn't shut up.
This same character is not a youngster by any chance, she is in her thirties (no spring chicken), and she is rude,crass and absolutely horrendous.Uses swear word and loudly too.
In clinicals, she is loud, you can hear her a mile away, she complains when she has to team up with another student, because she thinks the student is passive while she is the aggressive,know it all person.
Just to give you an idea of what we are dealing with, she is of the opinion that people with a 2.5 GPA cannot be good nurses because her GPA is nearly 4.0, can you believe that? "Do you want someone with a 2.5 GPA to be your nurse" asked she.
If a school is willing to admit people with 2.5 GPA how dare she make such a comment. She said this out loud yesterday in lab without giving a damn whether anybody there had a 2.5 GPA.
It's been my misfortune to have this person in the same skills lab and clinical setting and I am just praying the next 5 weeks pass quickly.
Next semester, I will resist every attempt to place me in her group because there is so much anyone can take.
Anyway, does anyone undertsand what I am talking about? Please share.
ps: I don't understand why the instructors/teachers haven't said anything to her?
