Just wanted to check in with ya'll to see if anyone else feels like their classmates are suited for battle? I know everyone is stressed out and sleep depraved- but really? you can cut the tension in our classroom with a knife! There are many different personalities, obviously, and everyone has their reason for going into this field but isn't the profession of nursing all about different personalities and choices? In the classroom setting it is best to leave the ego at the door- we are all on the same level when we sit down at our desks- we are all working together toward a common goal- I know some are more experienced in the field than others but this is Nursing school not whatever you have your degree in- it is a new beginning for every person sitting in that classroom. We have tons to learn, many clinical days ahead- can't we all just get along?

If you think this is bad, wait until you start in the real world. Nursing profession can be brutal.

I do empathize with your nursing school experience. In nursing school, people are anxious and competitive, some do whatever it takes to get ahead. Some will try to cheat, some will just break down and lose it. Your biggest task is to maintain your intellectual focus and ignore the drama that pulls your focus away. Especially with so many women, it becomes so useless.

Find the strong students and figure out who you can trust. Find a tutor or a confidant. Chances are you'll find someone who you trust and chances are that will continue through nursing school :-)
