Is there ONE in your class?

I agree though, no reason to use the S word in reference to a fellow human being.

I have a feeling that you may change your mind, after the first test that you have to take over material you did not cover in class, because someone had to disrupt the class so long or get the instructor off subject for so long that they are unable to finish their lectures before the test. It does happen. I think that after that does happen you will feel the exact same way many of us do. Sorry if I'm offending you but, those are the facts. There have been many tests over stuff we didn't cover because someone would go to the instructor after class to get some concept down, or just generally being a pain in the you know where, by getting the instructor off the subject. Good luck in school and really hope you don't have one of these people in your class.

Nope, I can't see it. I've been taking prerequisites for three years before I took the NLN and was accepted into the program. I've also tutored for students having trouble in computer classes. I don't think my feelings, my reactions, are going to be "nurtured" in a nursing class.....I think they grew as I grew. Before I ever got back into school. In school or out of school, none of us have the right to think ourselves superior over another or to make assumptions about another's intellect. Like I said, there are people who do annoying things but only they know what's inside themselves.

You see, I think as we go through this process, this nursing school experience, I think one of the most important things we can do for ourselves is maintain our humility. There, that word again.

If we judge the student who is disruptive, if we allow ourselves to do that, what's to keep us from judging the sweat-stained, toothless, lice-infested, alchoholic schizophrenic who is brought into the emergency room on our shift?

There but for the grace of God go I.......right?

Well we were in Pharm today when this girl asked what was the difference between generic and trade and which one is more expensive. A laugh was about to come (would've been a big one too) some others started to crack up, but I maintained it because then I remembered that maybe, just maybe she might be from another country and not know what a generic brand is... You have to think of the million possibilities of why people ask questions... So I held my laugh and stopped the judgement and the "s" comment in my head...

This is precisely why I prefer to study alone. That way, when there are endless questions in class, I can cover the areas that were not done and WILL be on the exam. While I realize that some questions are a necessity, there are many that can wait until after class.

For those that need to ask questions or disrupt the class please be respective of your fellow classmates. Write down your questions etc. and ask after lecture is over. That way everyone will have the benefit of having heard the ENTIRE lecture (you never know, that question may be answered in part of the lecture).
