Exactly!!!!!!

Well said Fearless Leader!!

Like it or not, your fellow nurses, including those in supervisory roles who make hiring/firing decisions, may be judging you here based on poor sentence structure, bad grammar, continued misspellings (yes, auto correct and fast fingers account for some of these, but REPEATED spelling mistakes leads one to believe that the writer truly doesn't know) and lack of a basic understanding of writing. Your written word is ALL any of us have to go on here, if you're sloppy here, it would possibly lead one to believe that you're sloppy in everything you do, and as a nurse, that's just scary. Do people know who I am on here? No they don't. We are actually encouraged to not put our profile picture up correct? Your wrong on that one. Your thinking LinkedIn! That is funny. Where my grammar and sentence structure matters, I'm great! When it doesn't (HERE) I am much more relaxed. You all should try it. It's ok, I know better than to judge peoples writing on forums like this. DUH! Time to wrap this up! Time to go pick on someone else now.

Dead thread for sure!! Typing on iphone! Really guys? I think everyone knows this is not formal! If you didn't take me seriously, you wouldn't be responding at all. I think I've triggered people. Only thing you have on me is my grammar and poor sentence structure I've done on my iphone. I did get the new bigger version iphone, but still hard to type on here. I wonder if there is an app for that? Ok, that was cute! No?

Yes Grammar does matter! Just not here! Are you all reading my entire posts?

Oh that was not abuse! I think you sounded "similar" to those Professors who humiliate people. I am not around you to know if your abusive. Many do have that critical nature though. Many will down play abuse when the see it too. Question? Does it make you feel superior when you correct peoples grammar? Do you feel better when your writing is above average and so intelligent "sounding" If you do, maybe you should look into why you do that. If not, your ok. Some people have Dyslexia, or can't spell. Did you know these same people have very high IQ's? Grammar , spelling and writing is not their gift. Their gifts you can't learn. Steven Spielberg is dyslexic and writes terrible. Albert Einstein too. We all know how brilliant he is. I could write a whole page of amazing people who can't write well. While your making sure your grammar is correct during documentation, the dyslexic is in a room calling a code because their intuition told them there was something not right about their patient. People gifts comes in many forms. I am an artist. That is one of my gifts. When I see others create their art, I do not go around and tell them it's wrong. It is not their gift. I wouldn't do that. That would be embarrassing for that person. Your gift is obviously grammar. Before you correct me on the difference of art and grammar being completely different. (Apples and oranges) don't get too hung on that. Just an example. It's early so maybe not the most brilliant one. You were getting ready to do a whole page of how art is different than grammar Huh? That was suppose to be a little funny. Here is my point incased you missed it. Some people are good at different things and that is ok. Unless you are my Professor, it shouldn't really matter to you. However, if you were my Professor and I gave you a paper then yes, please correct my grammar and be as strict as you can. I spend way more time on my papers and resumes than I do here. Again, this is an informal setting where Our identities are encouraged to be hidden. So no one is going to look on here and see my "should haves" and not hire me. Please! There are many dyslexics out here. Dyslexics weak term memory keep them from remembering things that don't have a concept attached to it. We also have people who's English is a second language who should be able to write freely on here without being attacked. So tread wisely when you go around and police the grammar on this forum. My pet peeve? Pointing out peoples mistakes in front of others and trying to embarrass or humiliate them. I should have had not writton this much. My digits are tired. Having a little fun too! Another gift of mine is a wonderful sense of humor! LMAOROTFPMP "Laughing my *** off rolling on the floor peeing my pants" my computer on my iphone that has a keyboard did that. Come on!! That was funny!! Yeh? No? Ok maybe not! I tried though.

Are you a Professor? roflmao?? "Rolling on the floor laughing my *** off." I had to google that because I am in my 40's and I didn't know what that stood for. Surprised to say the least. You're worried about grammar? Time to exit this thread!

But I like "should of" Sounds snappy ha!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! Who cares! To go to that much trouble to point out errors in front of others? Sure sounding like some of those Professors we are discussing. Maybe that is why you don't see how the original post is about abuse!

"I don't mean to be rude (blunt), but it's pretty obvious you really don't know what you're talking about, and you should probably walk away before you say something else ridiculous" I would say this was more RUDE than blunt! Not sure why this made you so heated. If it is because you don't make a decent salary, I'm sorry. I should of reminded myself there are other states where Professors get a lousy pay for all they do. Here in Southern California, our Professors get paid very well. I know because I have a few friends who are instructors. Many of them work as nurses too. Combined they make six figure salary. Yes, their work load is heavy, but that is their choice. Sorry to all the Professors who are underpaid and good at what you do!! You are worth so much more. We students appreciate you! Especially those of us who have had an abusive Professor or two. The whole point of this thread! This post is still one of my favorites!! So well written and paints a perfect picture of what goes on in "some" schools. Not sure how anyone could turn this into a discussion on whether or not this girl should of been allowed a break. Took the whole thread in another uninteresting direction. Really ladies! We are not talking about irresponsible people here i assume. Thank you for the original post! It was so comforting to read. No need to get all bent. Just an opinion, not the Bible. :)

Fearless leader you nailed it! I loved this post? For all the professors who have all that work to do. This is no reason to abuse us. I am paying for you to educate me, push me (not abuse). You were once a student so you must of known how much work it would take to be a clinical instructor! You also get payed quite well for what you do. If you can not handle the work load and take it out on us students, then maybe teaching is not for you. I am talking to the Professors who justify their abusive behavior because their work load is too heavy. That would be like an RN justifying abusive treatment to a patient because she/he load is heavy. To all the Professors out there who are amazing in what you do, God Bless you! I look forward to working with you in my next school.

I just realized it said 2015. Thought it was 2014 start. Good luck to you!

How is school going? I plan on applying to Santa Ana in feb. Can you please tell me how you like the program. Are the professors supportive?

heyrenee and kelbel949, I am so sorry! ;( when the time is perfect for you and your path, it will happen. I am in my 6th year of my journey. All my nursing buds have gone ahead of me. Some have even graduated and working. So keep going and don't give up! Your nursing career will be that much sweeter! Besides, it will give you a great story to tell all your patients. I Volunteer now and often share my store. Gives them hope in their own battle, what ever that is. You never know. Best of luck to both of you.

Congrats hiceeeee!!

My letter is here!! I'm in!!! Yayyyyy!! Good luck to the rest of you!!
