why do some nurses forget that they were once students?

Nursing Students General Students

Hi guys!

Okay here's the situation. I'm in my clinical rotation on a med/surg floor, why is it that the nurses there threat us students (who are helping them out with their pt loads)like we are in the way and causing them so much inconvience?

Don't get me wrong, I have worked alongside a few Nurses that care about the students and want us to learn. But, MAN! there are 4 nurses on the floor that give all the nursing students such a hard time.

I dont get it. We lighten their loads enormously, give meds, iv and inj, do all assesments ,paperwork,almost everything and they give us such a hard time.

Are there any nurses out there who have worked with students , could you pls give me some insight on how nurses REALLY feel about nursing students?:confused:

thanks

The waiter's tip will reflect this poor service.

Holy Mary and Joseph, girl you are not going to put these delicious, precious Godivas into your martini, now do you?

Be glad, to walz a real good Spritzer over to you, though.:eek: :D

edited to write glad instead of glas.

Oy Vey,

We have this lovely liquer/cordial (not sure of the European word - like a shnapps or a brandy) made by the Godiva chocolate company - it used to in various mixed drinks. Generally Vodka/Bailey's Cream/Godiva liquer with some liquid chocolate on top in a Martini glass - No olive or onion, needless to say.

Thanks for the offer though

Um, the bartender can't work 24/7! She does get some freakin time off ya know! Maybe you need to hire a couple of more to share the load of all you freakin lushes! :chuckle

As for the OP, and the other poster that commented (I can't recall exactly who), I don't see how baselines first post was "going off," and she didn't call her toots until she made the assumption that because she wasn't willing to discuss it for the gazillionth time, that she must hate students. You know what they say about people that assume......

Baseline was short and to the point. Ask the people that you have the problem with, and try a search at this BB for this topic in it's previous forms. I did a search using the terms "nurses eat their young," and "some nurses don't like students" and you wouldn't believe the number of threads that popped up.

But the OP didn't bother to do any of those things, and now we're drinking. I feel like jello shots.
