Classmates that leech

Published

Hello guys,

I have a slight problem. I am a very outgoing student so I ask a lot of questions and my professors tend to like me a lot. So of course there are some students who notice and kind of cling to me for help. Now this is no problem to me because I love to help and I think that all of us nursing students should help each other because we will be a family for the rest of our careers. However there are two people that drive me nuts. I honestly feel like these students have only made it this far because of me and other students feel the same. However, I am nice and I don't want anyone to fail but I don't think that a person should be a nurse if they don't know the job. I tried my best this semister to make sure I had no classes with these two. And of course they take all of there classes together. However I do have a fundamentals class with them what should I do? I am a very strong willed person and sometimes my words can hurt people so I try to be as nice as possible, but this has to stop. What do you think?

MZRED1.....please accept my apologies. :flowersfo I am sorry, I never meant to offend although now I realize I did. I know you are the one being abused here and I know you had good intentions. I just get frustrated with people who are being repeatedly abused (because they are "too nice") but never say anything to the users. My tone likely comes from some personal experience I have had with people very close to me, whom I care about very deeply, being abused in much the same way and never speaking up about it. It makes me just want to SPEAK UP FOR THEM! Because I KNOW they are nice people and I KNOW they deserve better. My BP just goes up...and up....and up........and up.......well, you get the picture...:chuckle

Again, I am sorry. I have a terrible way of opening up my mouth and letting whatever spill out without really thinking.:crying2:

Best of Luck to you in telling them off and standing up for yourself!:) :smiley_ab

What a beautiful apology!

Thank you so much. I feel a lot better. I was just starting to feel a little uncomfortable posting my ideas on the site. I really appreciate the appology and maybe I can learn how to put things so that people don't get the wrong idea about me.

Thanks again

Wow, I'm have a leech classmate. She doesn't know how to handle problems herself, and I didn't realize it at the beginning but she would be calling me 5 times a day to ask for stuff she could handle on her own. I just started ignoring her phone calls. I hope she gets the message because I will tell her whats really on my mind if she doesn't. Thanks all nurses!
