Nurses and professors, tell me your experiences with nursing students. Include your general impression of them.

I am, after due consideration, in favour of nursing students. They are a good idea. Stops us running out of nurses.

I generally get annoyed when nursing students post questions without providing their own thoughts on the subject and then get defensive when called out.

Otherwise, I prefer then over easy with a side of bacon and rye toast. And coffee.

If my opinion is not posted, what would I get called out on?

My opinion does not matter, oh great one. *Curtsies*

Have you performed an exhaustive search on here about nurse-nursing student experience and nursing educator-nursing student experiences?

A lot of your questions/discussions have been recent threads; it's best to search, THEN post a new thread; some of your own thoughts could revive a thread.

Try this-think, search on AN, if you can't find or want updated answers, THEN post.

Also, try to search the other categories of AN; your question is also addressed to educators-there is an educator/faculty forum on here.

Woosah, breathe, and search first before posting.

I did search, couldn't find the exact topic, and posted one.

Thank you for your advice :)

Hmmm...

I did a search and came with a few gems:

https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-student/rude-inconsiderate-nurses-887192.html

This is a classic one:

This within the first few pages of searching on the website.

Thank you for your advice :)

No problem; I hope you heed it. :D
