Nursing school is awful in so many ways....

caffeineRx · Feb 18, 2010

I'm not upset, caffeine. I honestly don't care that you aren't able to cope. Carry on with your calm, "not upset" posts.

LOL. Yep, I believe you! Because a person that doesn't care replies a half dozen times to something that has nothing to do with them. Didn't you say you were "done" a couple threads back? I completely believe that you don't care! :) You're chill as ice. :idea:

OK, one-more-time sigh. . I was disturbed that you called your classmates morons,idiots, pathetic, ignorant, etc etc. This thread was originally posted in the General Nursing forum. I was "done" with summersent's argument. Shouldn't you be reading "What Color Is Your Parachute" right about now? Maybe offer to tutor one of those inferior classmates of yours?

Hey Lady,

Look, you came on here and I replied. You cannot get all bent out of shape if you post something, like you did, and receive a forthright a reply. YES, SOME of my classmates are morons, idiots, pathetic, and ignorant. Society is FULL of these kind of people. What world are you living in? Can you give me a free ticket there? It seems just dandy.

You're right. Let me get back to my coloring book and you can get back to your knitting.Bake me a pie while you're at it too. :jester:Ta Ta!

Wow. I must say, those of you giving your personal opinions, make sure and check the original post before stating what you think. Sometimes it just feels good to vent and venting was what 'caffeine' seemed liked she was doing. She wasn't asking for people to analyze why she was feeling a certain way or to 'make it better'. You've all been there so travel back in time for a few seconds and try to understand. Maybe you didn't have idiotic classmates and were lucky to have made lifelong friends during NS. Not everyone has that luck. Or maybe there was no gossiping at all but you did study and have time issues, tests every week and were stressed to try and learn so much information in such a little time. You've been there.

NS is stressful and we all need to vent in someway or another. 'Caffeine' was crystal clear in her original post that this was, in fact, a vent. The fact that there's 8 pages that are intertwined with grown women bickering is just ridiculous. Grown women who are in the same health field and that should be supporting each other because no one besides those of us that are in this field knows what we're going through or have been through. It's really such a pity. 'Caffeine' may have said things in her OP that might have struck a nerve for some people but she didn't say 'So and So on Allnurses.com is such a moron, she gossips all of the time and man I just need to vent about her'. It had absolutely nothing to do with anyone here but she was venting here because she knew that at least ONE person would be able to relate. When venting, you're not looking for an argument or someone to tell you what you're doing wrong... you're looking for support, for a boost to keep going or simply a virtual hug. It's just really unfortunate that some people get so defensive.

P.S. FLgirl06- You said- "You and summerstench or whatever her name is think that since you hate nursing school that that's how its going to be for everyone else." Summerstench or whatever her name is? You're going to have to become a bit more mature than that before you step foot into nursing school, my dear and that's being 100% honest. Saying that was disrespectful and if you truly didn't know what her screenname was, it's a quick effort of just going back a page and looking. :)

'Caffeine', I can relate to some of your vents and need personal boosts every day to keep myself motivated. It is TOUGH and I question it every single day as to what I'm doing. Hang in there. :)

I The only thing I don't think happens in my class is cheating.

Think again. Sadly it happens in every class. You might not notice it, but it IS happening.

Okay and caffeine hasn't attacked almost every person on here? For the love of God she just told a lady a couple of posts ago to "go bake a pie and knit a blanket" not too mention calling her classmates ignorant idiots and morons! Yeah, that is just the epitome of mature, nurse-like behavior. Dont presume you know me. Dont make assumptions about my maturity. you dont even know me.

Whew FLGirl, why the hostility? YES, for the last time. I did SAY those things about SOME of my classmates. It's called "venting". Here ya go:

vent 1 (vnt)n.1. A means of escape or release from confinement; an outlet: give vent to one's anger.

2. An opening permitting the escape of fumes, a liquid, a gas, or steam.

3. The small hole at the breech of a gun through which the charge is ignited.

Which # do you think it is? ....and btw, there is a difference between attacking and replying to a post that quoted me. I'm sorry that you feel so threatened by me, and my opinion. That wasn't at all my intention. :devil: :lol2:

....and yes, I want my knitted blanket and pie. I did what the good lady told me. I got back to my "parachute" back. Don't I deserve something?

PS. FLGirl06-

If you ever make it into nursing school, I cannot *wait* to see how it goes for ya! This is child's play and you're ready to have a myocardial infarction. Wait until you make it to class!

So because someone else said something sarcastic, it's ok then for you to say something about someone else? Ok.

'Caffeine', as far as I could tell, didn't say anything to anyone specific in her OP. Other people got upset by what was included in her vent and became defensive. That's how it "started" and it continued to escalate after that. Did I say, 'Caffeine, YOU GO GIRL' for saying 'go knit and bake me a pie'? No. I'm not of mob mentality. I am stating how I feel about this and FLgirl06, your attempt at being snarky by mistyping someone's screenname struck me. I'm not going to point out every single person's wrongdoings on here. Your post happened to be the one of the last ones I read and I just happened to think it was just ridiculous. It's ok if you don't agree. :)

Her post was a vent; plain and simple. No one had to respond. I will never understand why people, who are anything but supportive, even bother replying to threads such as these. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Sometimes the things you learned in NS won't help you through life.... sometimes you've got to go back to good ol' Kindergarten.

Boy you are so cute and funny! I just can't get off the floor I'm laughing so hard!!!!! *SARCASM* Once again, the poster child for maturity.

Listen, I don't need you to tell me anything. I am ready for whatever nursing school may bring. My husband, son and daughter are counting on me and come hell or high waters, I will make it though. So lets not assume the "if you make it in", it's WHEN I make it in. So thank you again, but I don't need your cryptic little warnings. I'm ready. Bring it the hell on.

I certainly hope that whatever profession you decide to pursue, nursing or not, that you show a little more class and poise then you are showing on this blog.

If she posts something on a post and response blog, what on earth do you expect people to do besides reply? Good Heavens!

And I didnt say anything about her OP, I said she just insulted a woman a few posts ago. If she is going to insult others then she needs to be prepared to be insulted back
