I just need to vent-- and hopefully some advice. I am in my first quarter of a 15 mo LPN program at a local college. In A&P class today, we had a to get into groups to work on answering questions for a study guide-- today is Thursday, our test is Tuesday. Our last test was a week ago. We know at the beginning of the quarter what we're working on each week. Therefore, after the last test, I started working on the next chapter. I had three people just decide they were going to be in my group. No one asking. Just showing up. So I really had no choice in the matter. Once they all came over, it became apparent that no one else besides me had even bothered to open up the book, and they were arguing with one another over answers that were already on the notes our teacher gave us. On paper. Created by the teacher. Matching the questions exactly. Arguing. And then looking to me to explain it to them. Even though it is written. Right there. I'm trying to get my paper done, and I can't read a question because they don't know their material and I'm having to explain concepts that are in the reading. (I ended up not finishing my study guide because they took so long asking questions, passing around papers, laughing with one another and basically looking to me for the answer.) When another question came up, I said what I figured the answer was, and they were busy laughing. When they focused on the question, one of the members said the exact same answer, and then they argued over it. It then became a conflict because I didn't say "YES, YOURE RIGHT." I became very frustrated and I shut down. I don't work well in groups anyway ( I know that is a necessity as a nurse, and I am trying to be more interactive) so I just started doing the study guide answers without them because I knew I couldn't work with them. Anyone who knew the material should be able to fly through it. They then had a discussion ( while just copying the answers off my work sheet) about how I know all of this stuff, and everyone was surprised I had already read the chapter. When class dismissed, everyone jumped up, left and I was there alone. By the end of it, I felt angry and used. It's apparent to me that these people immediately picked me out because they think I'm "the smart one". I work full time, I go to school full time, I can't afford to lose precious in class work time to a bunch of fools who haven't even bothered to read the chapter. Not to mention, I am working my *** off, every single day, day and night to do well in this program. It makes me so angry to think that my work is being basically ripped from me so that slackers can pass and go have fun on the weekends. This is happening more and more frequently, and I'm about to lose my mind. I am so stressed out between work and school and home-- I don't have enough hours in the day or patience. Can someone please offer some advice or let me know I'm not alone in this? I really need help.
