I feel like the course work is very, very hard but I also think this has a lot to do with the caliber of nursing instructors you're working with. It is a case by case type of situation for the most part.

I think you all sound pretty snotty and self righteous in my opinion. I know exactly what the young lady means. When you're sitting in class for 3-4 hours it tends to get a little boring. I mean,come on ladies. The methodology we employ in teaching our newbies and the material they're taught is SOOOOOO irrelevant to actually being an RN she might as well be knitting. The young lady is simply trying to occupy herself whilst listening to expend her nervous/bored energy. It's the same reason I am typically singing to myself (under my breath) in the trauma bay while taking care of some bloody pulp. It's not that I am not paying attention or "being unprofessional" its that I am just doing what I need to do to get it done and keep rolling through the shift. The downfall of our profession is the tolerance of you self righteous, self important, snarky ladys with a chip on your shoulders. Either offer support and help for those trying to learn or shove it and stay OFF the student page. Get a hobby or something instead of needlessly beating up on the greenies. Maybe YOU ALL SHOULD START KNITTING. BTW, if you didn't say something mean then this is obviously not aimed at you so dont freak out.
