I was in a study group with my math professor and I got really hungry. I didn't want to leave to go all the way to the dining hall to get something "healthy" to eat 'cause I was afraid I'd miss something in my group, so I went to the vending machine just outside the room and got a donut. When I came back in the room (I had already had a bite of the donut) my professor looked up and said, "that's nice, a nursing major eating a donut." I almost died. Everyone looked at me and said nothing I was really embarassed 'cause I am a little overweight and I realize that wasn't a healthy choice, but it really made me feel bad.
Well I guess your prof would think I'm a bad nurse since I ate a donut for breakfast this morning! No one has any right telling you what you should or shouldn't eat, unless it is a dietician & you specifically asked for his/her advice. Tell your prof to mind his own business!
It is ok to feel sad about this... but don't get stuck in it... let this be something that gives you a new calling... You will finish your nursing degree... then go for a nutritian degree (or do a double major or maybe a minor)... then get a MBA... Then you will invent a whole line of healthy donuts and donuts that cuts heart diseases and cancer risks... You will sell it to all the vending machine in all the nursing schools, hospitals, ... whatever... and you will make MILLIONS!!!! -Dan
Do you do those annoying 'rate the instrctor/class' surveys at the end of the semester? The ones that the instructor/department head review AFTER grades are finalized? I would write pages about how inappropriate your instructor was.
I imagine your classmates were probably thinking 'What an orifice' as well. I suggest you bring in a whole box of donuts for the class and pass them out to everyone before Prof. Stupidhead gets there. Imagine the look on his face to see each and every student with a big, sugary donut in his/her hand.

Brilliant! :balloons:
And see if Angie will give you one of her "kiss my butt" postit notes for him.
Next time (someone, somewhere will say some thing to that effect again),
Say " Wow. That's a stupid remark for a smart person to make". And then walk away.
It's great, because the person is standing there befuddled, wondering,
"did she just call me stupid? Or did she call me on being a smart person who did something stupid???" You and everyone around you will know the answer, but they simply won't have a clue!
You've put them in their place and they are STILL not sure if they have been insulted, and you feel MUCH better. :chuckle
You know what!!! DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!! I agree too that a doughnut was not the best food choice but seeing how your teacher is, if you would have left for a long time to go get the proper food, he probably would have had something to say about that too like "A nursing student who would rather take her time to go get food than study". Just brush it off. Be proud of your doughnut:rotfl:
