what did I get myself into.

This is my own personal vent..... It is not meant too be rude or offensive to anyone in particular. It is just me venting.......

I understand there are a bunch of cna and pct or nurse aids or whatever in nursing school. I understand you all deal with the stuff we are learning in concepts to nursing. Please understand that not all of us deal directly with patients. I'm a iv room pharmacy tech. I make ivs all day, as I have done for a number of years. I do need the teacher to go over section a and b before sections d and e BC I am clueless about that stuff. Please be understanding that not everyone is on the same patient care level as you. Not everyone knows about oral hygiene of an unconscious patient. Not everyone knows about the basic patient care. That doesn't make me less smart than you, just less experienced. I don't roll my eyes when you are clueless about basic math problems you will be doing forever more.....or when u ask how many mls. Are in a liter. Nor will I make fun of you like you're a dum dum when you ask what the generic of Tylenol is in Pharmacology. All I'm asking for is the respect of you not being rude while I'm trying to learn something I am paying alot of money to learn. That is all.... have a great evening. :-)

    Great topic and I'm sorry that you have had this experience. It is a shame, but my hat is off to you. I'm an "experienced nursing student" myself. I start my program in a week. Your post has given me valuable knowledge on what NOT to be like. I'm and EMT-Intermediate, but I DEFINITELY know that I need to learn to think and perform like a nurse. I will remember your topic and ensure that I help anyone who ASKS for help. Like many have said we are all equal as nursing students. Good luck.

    I appreciate every ones responses. IM glad IM not the only one who has experienced this. I was definitely frustrated, and even told my lab teacher that I felt completely clueless BC of it, but after thinking about it... At some point everyone had issues with ATLEAST one class..... While I don't wish for anyone to fail a class, the evil onery side of me is most definitely hoping her issue class is pharmacology :-P.
