okay, so i've heard this on a few occasions from people in my Chemistry class this summer. please help me understand this...
i've read enough on this board about pre-nursing students who've gotten straight As in their pre-requisites -- Chemistry included. have you found that people in your classes are simply striving for a "C"? if so, who did you study with?
maybe i'm shocked with that "C" attitude because i've had Chemistry before -- in both high school and as an undergrad -- and, i'm only taking this class because it wasn't the right type of Chemistry to apply to some nursing schools..... i don't think so, though. the last time that i took it was in 1992, and the concepts that we're learning seem more like new material than review. i just don't get it...
do other students in your classes think like this? i.e., that they just want to get at least a "C"? it doesn't even satisfy the 2.5 science pre-req GPA that several ADN programs in the area require...
i've learned to just nod and smile when i hear it. but, it's tripping me out. oh! and one student (who's currently an LVN) said half-heartedly, "a 'C' nurse is just as good as an 'A' nurse". i may have just swallowed a "mortified" pill, but uh-h-h-h, i would not want to be her patient with that wonderful philosophy.
How did you get through all that without saying something???
Ive learned through supervising others to control impulsive statements and opening my trap(to a degree)..but when im in school its a different story...
Im not a person who can just sit back and watch something unfold without having my opinion and giving my two cents. I definitely cannot watch if i think something is unjust and people arent getting a fair shake...which is why ive been called to the nursing field in the first place!!!
I guess i need to get in a corner and pray for more self-control...this could take a min!!!
