  14. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    1: Screw you. Really. You are a horrible professor, and it is obvious to all of us that you don't care if we learn. Also, you can't talk to us like we're four years old, then turn around and tell us...
  15. Yes, nursing schools will likely judge you because of the F's. There is still hope, however. A strong essay will help, as will an interview if the schools you are looking into require this. If the...

    1. The syllabus you handed out in the beginning of the semester is a work of art. It's clear and concise. Can you please follow it? 2. Stop. With. The. Group. Discussions. No one does the work because...

  21. 1. I understand getting a B when you are used to getting A's is difficult. Trust me, I am in the same boat as you. But can you please NOT talk about how "horrendous" your 80% made you feel when you...
  22. 1. I know you girls think you are better than everyone else, but would it kill you to talk to someone outside your clique? I am used to your attitudes, but some people aren't. You are making people...
