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!
thats what i want to yell on a weekly basis in class. For many reasons here is just a few as followed
1) talking and laughing while the lecture is in progress. Hello i need to know this and you REALLY need to listen to this. not to mention the complete and utter lack of respect for the teacher delivering the lecture.
2) missy know it all, my god we have one girl who tells the teacher they are wrong and this is how it is. she has an answer for everything and her partner is a podiatrist so she knows the medical field (and all the other career fields out too....)
3) the sleeper......she sits in the front row and sleeps throughout the lectures.....so rude
4) the knitters, we have a handful of women who knit in class. ***.
hmmmmmmm thats me letting of steam for the day.these people really annoy me.
My Goodness! I go nuts with the ones who "TRY" to correct the instructor's on just about anything, thinking they know more or even better than them and they always start their sentences with "well from my experience..." or "not from what I remember..." or even "that's not the way its REALLY done..." they interrupt abruptly and hold class back UGH!!!!
There used to be a person like that in one of my classes, and I remember being driven to distraction by it, I was so sick of it that one day while the teacher was trying to engage the class in a discussion she called on me and asked me what I would predict in a certain sceneario, and I blurted out I don't know but I can predict what will happen in this class during the next one and a half hours, you will review some information from our reading assingment, and then so and so will raise his hand and ask a ridiculous question that you will attempt to answer and you will keep answering his querries until the class is over.
They should be VERY careful here! During one of my clinicals I had a classmate ask me if I thought they would start and IV on a pediatric patient. I responded that "probably, the pedi unit I work on starts IV's on just about all of our patients." Believe it or not, this exact comment earned me a clinical failure and 3 extra clinical days. One fo the nurses at the unit said I had a "superior attitude" and acted like the hospital I work at is "better than they were." Guess who I had to do these extra days with! It was just 2 months later that they promoted this same nurse to dept head.
In a way the last laugh is on them. I have since gotten my pediatric nurse certification-one of only three in the area. I have had the pleasure of turning down jobs at this facility 3 times so far. And I always tell them why.
Apparently they are having increasing staffing issues with this dept.
You r so right typo! Yes, I also paid for my words. I got a good grade, but I didn't get the referrals or the work study positions I needed to make ends meet. I wish I hadn't said it but at the time I was almost compelled to say something. Looking back, I guess you have to be able to take alot of garbage from people to be able to make a way in this world.
There are a gazillion others out there.... basically, something small and manipulatable that is also silent while being manipulated. Some people even use Silly Putty or just a stress-ball squeezy toy.
As for the knitters, they might be using the knitting needles much like a fidget toy, to increase their learning capacity. Here's an interesting read: http://www.tangletoys.com/catalog/schools.php
(I'm just trying the TangleToy Junior fidget toy with my son in school this year... we'll see if it helps him to settle down and concentrate on his work. (I've noticed he's a pencil-tapper.) His pediatrician said she saw a seriously ADHD kid with one of the Spaghetti Ball toys and she could hardly believe it was the same kid... he sat there and his fingers fiddled like heck with the "spaghetti strands" the whole time the ped. did her exam, with no interruptions!)

What a very helpful suggestion! These are some great tools, and may just help some of our children too! Yours was a very good post!!! Thank you!!!:yeah::bow::up:
We have one in my cohort too. She is the most oblivious person I have ever met. I could tell her to her face I HATE YOU and she would think I am kidding. She is positive she is the most important student in the room. She drives me insane. I think I have yelled "would you be quiet" during class but she is so loud she can't hear me. And the side conversations are constant!
Professor: In atrial flutter it may look like p-waves but they are f waves. Remember, atrial FFFFluter, F waves.
Her: So those are P waves?.
Professor visibly annoyed: NO F-WAVES!
And she's 40-X yrs old and has kids. Drives an obnoxious gas guzzling hummer. GAH!
I love the days she is out because it is quiet and the lecture is uninterupted. However we pay twice as much upon her return because she asks 800 questions about material previously covered in the class she skipped.
I am being driven to the end of my rope by the amount of side conversations CONSTANTLY going on in class. We areon our 3rd lecture in our final semester. We are a life-long learning group. Weknow how to behave in lecture. They can't hold it together for one more semester? We're almost done. Come on!
so, in closing, ts and others that have replied, you're not alone. and those that think it was mean of us to post, let us vent. you were students once too. we all have our peeves. :)
ps to the grammar police, it is the internet and i'm tired. I go to work all day and then straight to school til 7:30. after that, the brain is mush and I am supposed to study in here somewhere.
My instructor in my A and P lab is from Peru. She is very new to the United States and is learning to speak English. We had several students drop because you can barely understand what she is saying. I have to have this lab this semester, so I am sticking it out. Every class period, the same few girls talk the WHOLE time about how they can't understand what she is saying or laugh when she pronounces a term incorrectly. I actually left the last lecture with a freakin migraine headache because I was having to strain so hard to hear her. I am like OOOOOOO MYYYYY GOODNESSSSS, SHUT UPPPPPP.
Specializes in LTC, Critical Care, Med Surg, Dialysis.
as an ex PARAMEDIC(Associate degree with OVER 200 hours more than an ADN RN..)and as a nursing student(returning after 20 yrs) I feel I am able to reply......most Nursing homes I have been to regard us (EMT'Ps) as below CRNA's even thouth I have had MORE TRAINING THAN THEY HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........I am DISGUSTED with the treatmement that ENT/EMTP rcv from maily LVN/LPN(whom are REALLY INFERIOR to us training wise)........this is coming from a LPN STUDENT/ASD(assocaite in Paramedicine)
