So, I am in my 6th week of a nursing program. Recently, we all moved into new seats but most people did not want to do that (director said it would let us meet and get to know others). No big deal for me. Then, low and behold, some of the students wanted to rearrange desks too. Ok, so they do that without permission. Then the whole 'not getting to sit where they want' conversation is started again. Move on to the end of the day....
I had to meet with the director of the program about some paperwork for a scholarship. While picking up my paperwork, I casually let her know that there would be a discussion the next day about the seating arangement, AGAIN! I was told thanks for the heads up. I also informed her of my own opinions of how class felt, like high school with all the drama and mouthiness going on. Nothing else said. Later in the evening at home....
I get an email from some students in my class. The short version of it says, "We know you went and tattled on us about the seating arrangements! You are a narc! Class could straighten it out themselves and you did not need to tattle! Mind your own business!" This was typed in all upper case letters and signed with names. Also, they made an email address just to send this to me.
So, now I am confused on what to do. I in no way 'tattled' on anybody and did not deserve any such email. I did not email the other students back and have not told the director of the program. I spoke with a friend in class and was told to not bring it to the director's attention. That it could possibly cause more problems. I did some research in the school handbook which said, "Any type of bullying or hazing is punishable by suspension or expulsion." I dont know if I should let this go and if they keep harassing me, let the director know. Or, if I should tell the director now. Or, should I confront the students (fyi, I have no proof of the students as it was a made up email and just signed with students names, no actual proof it was them).
What should I do?
P.S. I had to make a new name for this post. My other name gives away too many details on who I actually am.
Apparently your school wanted people to sit in the same seats, this could be so the teachers recognize you if your class is big. Someone needs to get kicked out period. THere is no room at all in the nursing practice to do such immature stunts. Do we honestly want someone with such immaturity to be responsible for another human. I say print the email, give it to the teach then wash your hands of it.
