Swearing: hugely unprofessional, mildly irritating or a normal part of speech.

[loveoutloud]

I am a nursing student and I have noticed soo much swearing within my program. NOt only is it my peers but also teachers and buddy nurses. It is one thing to swear on occasion when something horrendous happens, but another to be saying f this f'n s and so on. I find that it seems to be a normal part of speech with several of my peers, even my teachers use it on occasion. I find this to be unprofessional behaviour, especially infront of patients. What is your opinion?

It is one thing to drop an F-bomb now and then, but to use it all the time is another thing. I personally would not be swearing in front of patients.
