Student Drama! HELP

Published

Ok so our class is having so much drama. We have 2 groups. My group that I started in has their first semester in the summer and then joined in with the fall class with Med Administration. Anyway, they do NOT like us at all! I don't know why. Some of my friends and of course me have gone out of our way to be nice to them and show them that we are not any different. All we did was take our basics and our clinical prep 1 in the summer and just got a head start. Thats all! In one week we join them m-f and we have our clinicals together. How can I show them that we want to all get along? It has really gotten to me because they show that they don't want to even talk to us.

What can we do? advice please??

Are you there to get your LVN or make friends? Stay out of the drama...who cares if your class likes you or not! My class is full of high school bs and so sick of it, but I keep remembering the reason why I am there...to get my degree and move on to bigger and better things...If I make friends along the way, great...if not, oh well at least I got what I came for.

Drama will be everywhere...at your job, school, ect. focus on your goal of becoming the best nurse you can be and do not worry about what your class thinks of you...you are there for you!

Keep your head up, stand proud and get it done:nurse:

I agree.

Be a grown up.

Who cares if they don't like you/your group.

Do what your supposed to and don't let this petty crap get in the way.

There are more important things to be concern about than making a good impression or making friends~having a good grade is one, finishing your prep-worksheet, and practicing what you learned during clinicals...those are more important.

lol lol lol You all are Great! I love frankness....I agree, I'm here to learn, not to pacify you...and with that said, trust and believe that they will need you before you need them. My telephone and email blows up when it's an assignment that they can't understand, but they don't look your way any other time! It's cool, just be the bigger person and keep it moving. good luck...

I went to LPN school to get my education and then take the NCLEX in order to get my license.

I did not go to make friends. If I made friends that was great..if I didn't, I was no worse for the wear.

Most likely what I would do is be pleasant and friendly to them, but not bend over backwards trying to get them to like you --- after all it really is their problem and some people get a power trip going and actually treat you worse the nicer you are!

Stay way clear of the gossip/rumor mill that all schools have. Who knows? Maybe once you all get used to each other there could be a potential friend in there. Best of luck in the rest of LPN school!
