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! :)
1. Are you seriously going to sit there and ask the professor if a patient came come back to life after being embalmed......SERIOUSLY?!?!
2. NO, you CANNOT medicate a dying patients family for anxiety if they are not your patient, and the fact that you even began to think this is a possibility frightens me!
3. HOW did you get into nursing school?
4. Seriously, if you postpone class one more time by asking stupid questions (see above) I am going to lose it on you!
5. On a much lighter note, thank you to my fellow classmates for sticking together and pulling through on the "month of hell" after missing over a month of class from the hurricane, we will appreciate the hard work in May 2010!
but, some of you really need to take another english class (or 2!!) Its very difficult for some of us to understand what you are saying if you cannot speak english correctly. As well, PLEASE use grammar tools and spell check! Again, we are not from your country and do not understand your language/slang.
Hmm..in post-conference quit asking so many stupid questions and sharing every detail of your minute of enlightenment. We are all learning. Also, just because you can't pass a test and are failing the class and the instructor curves the grade..don't think you are being done any favors..And no, I will not keep coaching you in clinical..I barely know what I am doing..the difference is..I am not afraid to admit it.
We just learned about how silence can be a therapeutic communication technique, kindly try and follow it. I seriously cannot handle another 2 years of hearing you yap on and on about diseases in your family. Also, I can't stand to hear anymore of your motivational stories during lecture. Write a book. You could call it, "Chicken Soup for the D+ Nursing Student"
-Why don't you be the first to ask a question once in awhile? Seriously. You seem to think you know everything and are always criticizing and ridiculing anyone else that puts themselves out there.
OR.......
-Why don't you come up with an idea to discuss? Funny, you never seem to be short for words when it comes to ripping someone else's discussions or ideas apart or worse, to continually question and quiz people when they do start a discussion. If there is a question within a discussion and it is so important to you, look up the damn answer yourself and share it!
-Stop with the on-liners which you seem to say only provoke people. They are counter-productive and reek of passive-aggressiveness.
1.Please just stop talking so much, and so loud. You interrupt me and the other students so much that we can't ever get a word in. I realize you have a lot to say, but speaking louder and louder...and cutting in when someone barely says two words...is just plain rude. We've dealt with this for 10 weeks now, and it's definitely getting old.
2.When the instructor is lecturing, SHUT...YOUR...MOUTH. For pete's sake, she's telling us the material that's being covered (or not covered) on our final exam, so could you all please just LISTEN? It's hard to hear what's being taught when there's so much whispering/talking/laughing going on.
3.Please, I beg of you......shut off your cell phone before class! And, yes, I can hear you click-clacking away sending text messages all during lecture. It's annoying. Stop it.
10. No, I do not have the test memorized, so when you ask what did you get on question 32 I truly have no idea. You huddling in the hall after the test obsessing over each and every question just stresses everyone out.
If you have to be an hour late to lectures nearly every day can you at least turn your phone off and have breakfast before you come in?Im sick of you waltzing in 50-60 minutes late, then you battle all the way to the front of the class to that single spare seat at the front,past multiple empty ones, then when you eventually sit down you either sit and text,munch or rustle all through the lecture. Not to mention 9 times out of 10 when a phones goes off its yours.
Okay....first off..please stop interrupting the instructor to inform the class of your personal experiences. NOBODY CARES! Second....you DON'T know it ALL, so stop acting like you do. Lastly........Keep your opinions to yourself....we do, so you can too!
It's hard to hear what's being taught when there's so much whispering/talking/laughing going on.
I'm soooo guilty of doing that !
