only in nursing school...does instructor A contact instructor B to validate if you were in fact ill when you emailed to say you were sick last week. then instructor A confronts you because you attended an exam worth 33% of your grade in instructor B's class. dont they have papers to grade or something to do other than investigate the reasons for my absence?! Im a senior in nursing school. You are my instructor. If I dont want to come to class I dont have to tell you. I was just being courteous. And I was sick! :angryfire
Only in nursing school do you see some fellow classmates deliberately wear their lab jackets when they are out at a restaurant. I seriously wanted to get up and walk up to them and be like "Do you think anyone really cares?"
only in nursing school - can an instructor get away with saying "only 10 percent of you will pass! guess which of you 50 makes the cut!"
only in nursing school can you get a hernia from all your books, gear and supplies. :smiley_ab
only in nursing school you will have 50 hours of study material to cover in a 6 hour period! darn pop quizzes via email notification!
only in nursing school can you study those 6 hours - cover the 50 hours worth of material and have the instructor give you a quiz that is on next weeks material - and still expect you to pass! grrr :angryfire
Only in Nursing School would you buy extra packs of socks and underwear for you and the children, so you would have to do less laundry, then you could study the 50 hrs of work in 6 hrs....but even though you failed the quiz...you didnt feel like a complete loser cause everyone had clean undergarments.
Believe me, its a bad day to fail a quiz, and have to do laundry when you get home...so buy extra !!!!
Only in nursing school can a professor walk into the room and announce that she has graded our tests and the grades are final and she is not allowing anyone to so much as ask her one question about the test even if it has nothing to do w/ out grade. According to her we "drive her nuts" w/ our questions so she is making all the grades final.
This probably has something to do w/ the fact that the majority of the class threw a fit when she had a med term word on our test that was not ANYWHERE in our book or any of the study material she gave us (this is part of our class that is learn on your own, so no lectures). Not only that but a bunch of us were marked wrong on questions that we had the solid proof in our hands to show her that we were right.
So apparently we drove her so nuts by pointing out her mistakes that she no longer cares if she has graded us incorrectly.
Only in nursing school can this same professor get away w/ standing at her podium and reading WORD FOR WORD from a pre-printed power point that she gets from our book publisher and call it "lecturing". Not only that, but when we ask questions about what she is reading her answer to us is "this is all in your book".
Only in nursing school can this same professor kick out the entire class because of people talking in class. Yeah it may be rude and disrespectful but it's not like we were learning anything anyways!! Cripe she doesn't even take the time to read the darn powerpoints before class. We know this because half of the lecture is spent w/ her stuttering and trying to figure out what the heck she is reading. The only reason any of us show up is because our grades depend on our attendance.
*sigh* SO I should probably just start a vent thread.
could you imagine being pulled over by the police and they search your car and give you a ticket for "possession of drug paraphenalia"!!!! then you go to court and say,"your honor! i am a nursing student!!!"
my mom is a nurse and she always had syringes and stuff laying around the house. i had this funny conversation with a friend in high school in my parents house
friend: uh.... what is this?
me: it's a syringe
friend: ok... why is it here?
me: i don't know... it's my mom's.
friend: **silence with disbelieving look on face**
me: she's a nurse
friend: oh, yeah... it's still a little weird

Only in nursing school do you walk out of an exam thinking you did well, check your notes and see you were right, to find out later that you barely passed WTH. Can't wait until tomorrow to see what went wrong =(

Only in nursing school can you walk into a room and hear some pretty perverse things and know they are not perverse.
IE: I walk into lab today and I hear "Can we share your lube" "Does anyone have any lube we can borrow" Or a classmate saying " I am going to be doing all the sucking on him" while pointing to which dummy she was going to practice the trach suctioning on!
