I guess there's always gotta be one in every class, you know they type that can't resist saying..."well I work at such-n-such place and we do it this way...." ON EVERY TOPIC!!! or ask 20 questions where all the answers from the teacher are "yes" because it's some elementary ? that they are just asking to let everyone know they already know something. Im gonna start bringing water balloons to class and throwing 'em at people who can't SHUT UP!!! :chuckle

oh and btw....can y'all quit tappin and clickin your pens!!!!! :angthts:

feel free to add your frustrations, and what should be done with these people!

Oh yea. This reminds me of a woman in my class; she constantly HAD to let everybody know how intelligent she was. What an annoying BORE she was!! I, and the rest of my class ,poor darlings,had put up with this for three years, and finally, one day, I had JUST HAD ENOUGH OF HER CRAP, and after she showed out, I clapped my hands and smiled at her. The professor was not very pleased with me, but I just did'nt give a s-- at that point.

oh the gum popping wears me down- :icon_rollwish I had a little blow dartgun.... now the dumb questions from material covered like 2 weeks ago makes me sad b/c they are really doing themselves an injustice not going to talk to the teacher for help!

I have a particular frustratuation with a fellow student that has had at least one member in her family to have had a condition that the instructor discusses. i am just wondering if she will ever run out of uncles,cousins, brothers friends,ect ect... and its not just stuff like the common cold its faces ripped off haveing to have over two hundrend surgeries to correct it. Always some big elaborate story I just want to bring a yard stick to class to wack her when she raises her hand...I think even the instructor would get a kick out of it as they allways have this look on there face like what now......

OMG, I am with you. The gum popping has got to go. they really need to go back to elementry school and don't allow people to chew gum in class. My classmate sound just like a wounded cow.

Yep we have a few that drive em nutz! lol There was one last year that started off each question "Well as an EMT I" Well go back to being an EMT then!! The there are th eones that obviosuly didnt do any of the reading, then they figure they should ask questions, that makes it very obvious that had not!! No clue why the profs even repsond, so they are part to blame! Come on, if ur askin g'numerical data questions, it is very obvious you didnt do the reading!

At Times , We Couldn't Avoid These Kind Of People , I Know One, Who Asked Questions To Our C.i. Instructor , To Test If He Or She Knows The Topic Well , Or Did The C.i. Is Knowledgeable Enough To Tackle The Subject, Otherwise, Students Would Walk Out, Or Else Demand A Clever & Smart One , From The Dean Of Nursing. Got A C.i. , During My Basic Nursing Yrs., Who Laid All His Rules : Be Sure , You ( Studied, Learned , Read & Research Some Other Materials Related To The Subject To Be Dicussed - When You Will Be In His Class !!! ) He Uses Class Cards In Calling Us, To Discuss , To Answer The Questions, Etc. Some C.i.'s . ( Doctor's Consultant's Were Also Our Professor .) They Have A Way Of Telling To These People = To Shut-up !!!! They Use Some Milder Forms To Tell Them , That Their Questions Or Queries Are Impertinent Or Off Topic Ones. Doctor's Are Our Best Teachers ,no Matter How Serious Is Our Topic, They Will Somehow Find A Way To Inject Some Jokes With Thier Lectures, And The Athmosphere Is Wholesome And Enjoyable One. One Consultant Surgeon Said First Time , He Introduced Himself To Us ," Our Subject Ladies & Gentlemen ,

Is About Human Anatomy " "anatomy " Is So Broad & Vast,"

And That's " A Nut To Me !!!! "

so i just had my very first day of nursing school and it was all of us together and there was already one that had to ask 100 questions that were either already answered or common sense would have told her they would be answered in tomorrows presentations! :banghead:

oh and 1 of my friends was sitting behind her and watched her write down a description of all the professors as they introduced themselves. i don't just mean names and what they teach but physical descriptions :rolleyes:

i'm all about class participation but this isn't even lectures yet just intros to the program....

hey becky,

did you ever think the person writting down names and descriptions has a hard time remembering names and that writting the persons description helps her not look like a fool when she has no clue who the professor is???? and that maybe she asks a ton of questions because she is excited about finally getting to nursing school after all the hard work that she just can't wait until tomorrow to hear the answer to a question or reassure herself by asking a question she thinks she knows the answer to or that she has a crappy support system and is just nervous about how everything is going to fall into place???? everyone is different and making fun of people is not productive and just plain mean. i honestly had not pegged you as one of those girls. the lecture got out on time didn't it? so her questions didn't affect your day did they? did you ever consider the girl you are making fun of might go to this website and might recognize you talking about her and that maybe it might hurt her feelings? or that the girl you are making fun of is a super nice caring person and might make a good classmate because she is super organized and well informed?

it is the first day of school and already you are judging people and talking about them, good luck being objective with your patients. there are 104 students it will make things so much easier if we could all get along, help each other and work as a team.

embrace others differences! and be nice to people that you do not know that have done nothing to you!

i have a good one for you.

it was in the first week of class in by ob/gyn class. we got into a discussion on scope of practice and what we could do as students. a good topic as about 1/2 of the class was lpns already. in the mist of this topic the instructor told a story about her personal experience. se used to work as a np in women's health. she took a job for panned parenthood and quit after the first day because she felt that they wanted her to do things thought might be outside of her scope of practice. ok, no big deal, she did not like the job. this lead to a student asking whom locally performed the abortions for planned parenthood. the instructed replied that they brought in a doctor from out of town. and then the student replied, "so what do they call him, dr. death?"

i could have died right then and there. a snotty comment to your instructor during the first week of class? i don't care what your viewpoints on the topic are-comments like that do not have any place in class-especially to your instructor!

it ends up that the instructor was a friend of the student's mother, another nurse. something "unofficial" was said to the mother and this was forwarded to the student.

now that is a stupid comment!

thanks for that story, it made me smile (not sure why) i am sure the girl regretted saying that as soon as the words left her mouth. we all say things we regret but that really really sucks because she said it to her professor and thats not exactly the best first impression to make. honestly, i wrote the post about how i thought becky was out of line about making fun of me the girl in her class because it really hurt my feelings. i do not see myself as overly sensitive but nobody wants to here that people are talking about them. we didn't even know each other and i only asked 3 questions in the 4 hour orientation. i t just hurt my feelings and i kind of wish i never saw the post because now if i run into her it might be kind of awkward. there are no hard feelings on my part although an apology would be nice i wont hold my breath. i just think everyone out there should try to be more careful about what they say (especially on-line) because people you don't want to see what you wrote might just see it, plus some of the prof and higher-ups go on this website to see what others are saying so being caddy just isn't the best thing. have a great day and good luck to everyone this semester!!!!

STCCnursing. Hmm I don't even know where to start. I didn't say I "made fun" of you. I wasn't even the person who saw people write physical descriptions. I honestly don't even know who you are. Like you said there are 104 of us and that was the first day of class. I don't have a mean word to say about anyone and if I came across that way I'm really sorry. I've made some great friends so far and look forward to making more. Please don't feel akward around me (if you even know me by sight). I meant nothing personal by the comment and I'm sorry I hurt your feelings!

I honestly cannot believe all of you whining people. You are all there for one specific purpose, to become a nurse. There are many idiosyncrasies you people have too (none of us are perfect), and just because one person has the enthusiasum and drive to ask questions and write down descriptions of her teachers is no reason to rag on her. Cut the girl a break, all she wants to do is succeed. If your gonna cut her down for her drive to be a nurse how are you with your patients who complain about everything? Think about it.

First of all I don't even know who this person is. There are 104 of us, this was the first day of classes almost 1 month ago. I don't even know who was writing descriptions a friend of mine that wasn't even sitting anywhere near me told me about that. And to be honest if it was the girl I was sitting next to whom I've known for a while I'd probably tease her too. I'm a very sarcastic person and I don't say things to hurt others feelings. To STCCNursing I have written a PM apology as well as in this post. I was hardly ragging on her. I made a stupid post that wasn't out to hurt anyone's feelings and I'd like to think that her and I can discuss this through emails/PM's between the 2 of us. It's really no one else's business. I'm not a mean person, in fact as an experienced CMA I've been doing nothing but trying to help those without the experience. There are a lot of personalities in this world and some don't always mesh, my comment was never meant to be hurtful (I'm sorry that is was) it was my way of blowing off steam after the first day. I wish her nothing but the best and hope that we can become friends.
