Along the lines of the first thread, "Things you would love to say to your nursing instructors" I thought this would be a great thread to start. I've since graduated LVN but there was one main thing I wanted to say to some students in my class.
Will you people in the back row please stop talking! I swear that today I can still hear their motormouths running! :chuckle
When I am in the RN bridge I will come back and post some more. I'm sure some of you have something to get off your chest. Come on and unload here! :)
3. Oh dear god shut up about your kids already. I'm sure "little Johnny" is absolutely adorable to you, but he sounds like a spoiled brat to me. I'm going to keep counteracting your adorable kid stories with one of my adorable cat stories until you get the hint.
after all the funny ones i have already given you i guess the best one (now that i see how much enjoy this humor) "don't go to lunch for 1.5 hrs, have a drink, get in an argument with your instructor and wonder why the hell you just failed!!" yes i have the highest grade on the test, no way in hell can you study with me, or should i say put your name on the test while you copy mine! if only you would shut up, put the cell phone away, wake up, come to school, dress like your not on ho down show, leave everyday early, you could pass a test!! i tell you jeff foxworthy could have a field day with these idiots!! oh yeah and another thing...who said you get a comission because your baby's daddy has a new girlfriend (her new baby daddy) go to school with you now and the two of you fight everyday day! or are they now handing out comissions on how many fights one can have in one day!! grow up you idiots. if someone is crazy enough to give you a license to to insert sharp objects into another person maybe a psych test is warranted instead of just the net. =)):lol_hitti:imdbb: ihave to admit if they don't drive me to drink, they make me laugh my a.. off!!!
1. Quit telling me about yourself. I don't care. As a matter of fact, I don't even like you!
2. Quit gossiping to me. You are making it extremely difficult for me to keep my New Year's Resolution of not kicking people in the shins "accidentally".
3. Taking a shower every single day really will help you make friends.
4. When the nurses you work with roll their eyes at you and ignore everything you say, they are being b****y. They are trying not to call you an idiot in front of your instructor.
5. Yes, I collect NCLEX study guides. It kind of like a hobby. Deal with it!
(Oh crap! I just looked up the definition of passive aggressive.)
To the clique who stole the guy who I was making friends with in Sim Lab...thanks for coming up to him and inviting him out for a drink with y'all right in front of me and stealing the one person who I was making friends with. We were the only two without a lab partner, so thanks for taking him into the fold and leaving me out in the cold. I spent the whole year isolated while everyone else made friends. Too bad you didn't ask me to join your "study" group even though I wouldn't have because they're a waste of time because I still have my 4.0 after year one.
...thanks for coming up to him and inviting him out for a drink with y'all right in front of me ........and leaving me out in the cold. ...........i still have my 4.0 after year one.
good for you. it can be hard to make friends in a new environment but most of us aren't there for new drinking/sleeping buddies. you have self-reliance and a great gpa...keep it up !!!!!
No, just because you NEVER seen it done that way doesn't mean you're right.....from your arguments, it seems that you all haven't been doing it the "safe" way for years!
Don't fall asleep in class or with a guest lecturer and assume that the teacher failed you because of that(it may be part of the reason, but when you missed 1/2 hour of content, that can be part of it too.)
You do NOT know everything just because you already have a license.
To some annoying RN students:
Please don't complain about the review course when you didn't pay ANYTHING out of pocket for it.
Don't go around comparing your job with everyone else's....there's a reason we all have different specialities.
Don't ask "how could you get a better score than ME?" when you didn't study and make great claims to that.
To the poster 2 posts ago:
to make friends, you have to be outgoing and friendly enough to realize that EVERYONE is a nursing student.....assertiveness goes a long way, and just putting yourself out there helps. Because when you graduate(trust me), you won't care about that "perfect" GPA. You'll want someone to go out with after graduation to celebrate and say "WE DID IT!"
To Angel, Thanks for the kind words. You ARE an angel.
To Loco: you sound a lot like the "kids" in my class. I have plenty of friends at my real job and my home life, but thank you for your condescending advice. I have the availability to go out celebrating every week since I work full time, go to school full time, am a single mother, and my mother who watches my daughter broke her back. I am also plenty outgoing and have lived 4 decades so I don't need advice on how to get along in the world.
I see a lot of coldness on this board and I don't know how some of the people can become good nurses.
PS A perfect GPA isn't important to me...it's just what I got.
