I know this may sound rediculous but....

Published

I can't help but not be excited about meeting my future nursing class mates. I know that sounds strange, I mean, everyone seems so excited about making new friends, but i'm not really looking forward to that. I guess i just figure most people are going to be stuck up and just be a pain in the bum. I know ya'll must think i'm childish but it's just a concern of mine. I guess experiences from past courses in school have left we wary. Has anyone had expereinces with annoying class mates and how do you just not give a hoot?

Thanks :paw:

Also, i've gotten in contact with a couple of these people and well, they just seem annoying and misinformed about certain matters. I don't know....

Please don't judge me. I know this stuff happens everywhere, but school is one place i need to give my 100%

Specializes in LTC for now.

i felt the same way before i began nursing school. but once you actually start you will realize that all differences between you and your classmates are thrown out the window because you are all there for one goal and that is to be a nurse. don't get me wrong there will be those who will annoy the heck out of you, but for the most part you can grow really close to your class mates. and it is good to make friends during nursing school because it is good to have someone to share your worries or feelings with about classes, clinicals, or the nursing boards, etc.

I know what you mean ive learned that people are people and i keep moving and keep praying. I noticed that women are so very very catty especially when you present as a triple treat ie brains, body and beauty...LMAO! SO what semester are you in. I am a LPN for several years and i decided to go back for the rn program and long term NP. Keep in touch

Hi Mariemac89LPN,

Thank you for your input. I agree :)

I want friends for sure, I guess sometimes these pain in the butts can ruin an experience before it's even begun.... i know, i'm probably thinking way too much into this.

Specializes in ICU/CCU.

I met some of the best friends I'll ever have in nursing school. Don't look for things to be annoyed about before you've even started classes. The sort of energy you put out is what you are going to get back from people.

Hi Nubian01,

Exactly! I hear that ;)

It's the cattyness i'm worried about ( i've encountered it too many times and when i mention it to my male nurse friend he doesnt get it which annoyes me even more lol)

I guess it's nice to hear people don't think i'm crazy.

Thank you all for letting me vent!

Truthfully, I am a very caring person, but I am not a social butterfly. I kept friendly, but not too into everyones business. I found a few good friends and kept them.

I found more GREAT friends in nursing classes than any other college course I have ever taken. You just have potential to form some wonderful, lasting bonds because you are going through the same thing at the same time. I keep in regular touch with 7 women from nursing school and 2 are VERY close friends now.

I also met a few completely annoying, self-absorbed, think they know everything types. There are specifically two that I hope to never work with or have them as my nurse. Luckily, I have only seen one since school was out and I ran the other way when I realized it was them. :) I also found a few people who liked to blame everyone else for their shortcomings. They fail a test and it was the instructor's fault. They fail a course and it was because they say they weren't graded fairly on a paper (never mind they FAILED two TESTS).

Bottom line, it is like everywhere you go. You will meet wonderful people and you will meet trouble makers. Keep an open mind and remember to let a few select people in. It will be very stressful and having someone that understands can make all the difference.
