Any males out there tired of the drama?

Anyone out there get real tired about the constant drama, anxiety, and non stop worrying exerted by your female classmates? To me, it seems like the majority of them have nothing to talk about other than nursing school, tests, and frustrating about clinicals/instructors. This becomes very irritating for me anyways. Just wanted to know if any other guys out there find it highly annoying?

"isn't the way that they worry and stress and constantly talk about nursing school kind of similar to the way you worry and get frustrated over how much they do it?"

EXACTLY what I was thinking. Everyone gets frustrated just by different triggers and then they express it in different ways.

My feeling is one has a few choices is these matters:

1) Find a way to change what frustrates you, perhaps by positive influence - BE a leader!

2) Fuel it (be a part of the problem) or let it fuel you (which seems to be the case here)

3) Let it go. One must always find ways to do that because there are plenty of things outside of our circles of influence and control.

Either way - this is an opportunity for growth.

I am an older female student I live in England, and I'll tell you I can't stand all the drama either, so I think it might be the age. I have heard one male student say that he goes home with a headache from all the constant chatter and drama! I certainly have a lot of things to talk about besides nursing and tests. I am really quite embarrised with females sometimes and get quite upset with all the rubbish that they talk about. what can I say your brave ! :yawn:

You know what's funny is that people like Humpty Dumpty and decafinated man have to talk about how smart they are and how much better they are than others in their class. 3.7 G.P.A. Well Humpty and decafemia, Not everyone can be as academically brilliant as the two of you Some of us male nurses must be clinically intelligent also. Wake up and smell the coffee decafmania and realize that your going to deal with many different types of personalities. A nurse is a nurse. You don't like it open up a decaffinated coffee shop.

Agreed 110%. I'm a pretty good student academically but my clinical skills are my strong suit, its nice to hear someone else who agrees that its not just academic but its clinical too. It takes all different kinds of people to make good nurses.

TRUE - another woman here and I HATE the drama! So I avoid it like the plague ;) I got into nursing school by myself, for myself, so I don't mind going through nursing school that way...I'm friendly and not a snob...but I don't require that my classmates like me...just respect me...and please keep the theatrics and whining to a low roar:twocents:

Another female here to agree with the "to much drama" aspects of both nursing school AND nursing. Just be aware, that as long as you continue to be in a human business (vs building computers or snaking drains) you will have LOTS of drama. A suggestion, Humpty, is go for the CRNA. Your lack of understanding of others proves that you will be most successful if those you are "caring" for are asleep.

LMAO, I don't care who you are, that was funny. I needed that today, thanks:D:D

Good point! I agree with you on your suggestion to Humpty but I'm not even sure I would want a CRNA who thinks like that. I was thinking something that doesn't have a lot of patient contact, maybe administration would be a good area for Humpty or go to med. school if he hates nursing so much (he mentioned in another post that nursing is only a means to an end for him.)

I once told someone the hardest part of nursing school was having to listen to all the drama and hearing people brag about how they forget everything because,"they won't have to do that as a nurse." The funny thing is....the girls always bring my name into the drama, they always go tell someone I'm talking bad about them even though they are haha...DRAMA IS A WASTE OF MY TIME. Then they get mad at me because I don't freak out and make a 150 page study guides like some of them, but I still make A's and B's. If they don't succeed....they blame whoever they see first, whether it be a teacher or another classmate.

I cant believe people make those 150 page study guides...

And a lot of times they don't help people. I don't know about you, but I can't study off of someone else's study guide...I'm not a study guide person at all. I like to just skim over stuff and make sense of it myself while I teach it to someone else. Of the 40 people who had to repeat med/surg this semester...95% of them used an old 150 page study guide people made up, plus they were failing going into the final. They didn't bother to study anything but that..I don't trust someone's info like that, plus it's just not my study method lol. AND....after they failed, the drama started about who didn't help who and how it's not their fault.

Oh, we have them in my school too. When I started patho, the teacher brought in 2 former students who whipped out their 150 page guides. I just cant believe people think it helps. The amount of time they put into typing it and formatting it can be better spent on straight up studying and reviewing.
