Out of 43 graduating students the results are coming back and it looks like all but 2 passed NCLEX in my class. The 2 that didn't pass, probably the 2 biggest know it all girls in class. The ones that would constantly roll their eyes about how stupid class was and a waste of their time. The 2 that were snotty to 98% of the class. They started off buddies and quickly by end of semester that ended. Sure it was because they were exactly alike. They acted high and mighty all the time, in clinicals they constantly would cut everyone off to talk about their patients and they were always the life saving students. Had stupid nurses and docs and thank god they were there to save the day. No one else bothered talking about there shifts after the first few clinicals because they knew these 2 would take over. Also no this isn't simply my perception; by graduation most of the class was ready to not let them come because of how ugly and nasty they were being about our pinning ceremony and had only negative things to say about what was being planned. Even the teachers complimented the graduation committee for trying to handle it gracefully with them.
Needless to say, I was pretty surprised of all the students, these are the 2 that didn't pass NCLEX. At the same time I can't think of 2 better students that needed a humbling experience.
Anyway, just was told and had to share. Future students; be watchful of your attitudes and cockiness and how much of a waste of your time stuff might be. It might come back to bite you in the rear.
Thankfully majority of the students were not like this and I am happy they all passed. Especially the ones that had a really rough time in school. I always felt like we had a good program, tough but good and felt like they prepared us well.
