Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

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! :)

now that i am going to be graduating in less than 3 weeks, i have many many words...

....shut up in lecture

....you have no right to pass and graduate with crap you pulled

....just because you did good in class doesnt mean that you will be (in what a nurse is in my mind) a good nurse...EVER

....i wish i didnt have to be with you at MY graduation, the thing that means the world to me. because you will sit there and be more fake and nice than you are a real person!

....i hope to never see you again! if i do, keep walking and turn the other way

Please grow up and stop holding grudges, having a negative attititude towards, and purposely excluding students who are excelling in nursing school. All it does is make you look immature, petty, and insecure.

Thank you.

Ooh, I'm gonna like this thread...!

1. Shut up now! I am paying tuition to learn from the instructors. I don't care who is doing how and what to whom. I want to listen to the lecture, thanks.

2. My scores are my scores and are none of your business.

3. I know this material because it was in the lecture or in the reading. You know that big book we had to buy last year? It's in there.

4. No, the instructor is not picking on you. She's asked you four times why you're giving that medicine to your patient. She probably thinks you should know this.

5. Lab values, math calculations and difficult people are going to be a part of your career. It's probably best to learn to deal with them now.

6. Loudly saying "Eww, what stinks?" when you walk into a patient's room is generally not a good thing.

7. Neither is chewing gum in the clinical area.

8. Being on time, in uniform and ready to hear report will go a long way towards developing a professional appearance. Yawning at your nurse will ruin it.

9. You are (or someone is) paying for your education. You truly will get out of it what you put into it. The opportunity to study is a gift a lot of people do not receive. Please make the most of every learning situation offered to you, even if it is not what you think you want to do. Education is never wasted.

Specializes in RN in LTC.

I am glad you only studied for 20 minutes before the test and passed it. Please tell you you are going to study the same way for you NCLEX exam.

If you know more than the teacher then why are you a student?

When you are a nurse will you still be texting when giving care to your patients?

Can I be around when the real world shocks you back into reality?

1) Just because youre a medic/cna/stna/pca/ma does not mean you know what it is to be an rn!!!

2) Why dont you just go take the NCLEX TODAY since your such a know-it-all?!

3) DO NOT ARGUE WITH THE INSTRUCTOR ABOUT YOU BEING RIGHT, THEM BEING WRONG... there is a reason they have RN,MSN after their names

4) And "no!" i will not do it for you i earn my keep you learn to earn yours too!

1. Why are you becoming a nurse when you think you are a doctor?

2. SHUT UP!!!! If you are not talking maybe half the class won't have to explain it to you all over again.

3. Stop nagging about everything!!! WE are at clinicals to learn, not sat around and B!@#$ about having to clean someone up from crapping all over theirselfs.

4. Not everyone remembers the notes just bying listening, some have to study.

5. Not every test is the easiest.

6. The whole class is not stupid, just b/c you had A&P not to long ago. Some has been for years.

Definitely! :D

We all have to get it out somehow. This is a nice place to come together and share our frustrations...as only other nursing students can truly understand. :)

Oh here we go.....

1) I barely know you. Heck, 75% of the people you approach barely know you. Please don't troll around the whole classroom asking everyone what they made just so you can hopefully feel better about your own grade. It's annoying.

2) Don't argue with the instructor just because you believe you're right.

3) Please don't complain to me when the instructor was specific about things we were supposed to study for the exam and you didn't see fit to follow those instructions.

4) How do you remember every single question on the exam? And why do you have to give me a 5 minute speech about why you put a specific answer for every question? A 5 minute explanation including your rationale for doing so. I don't care, I'd rather discuss that episode of Grey's! :p

5) Did you really just say you're here for the money?? Seriously?

6) Just because you have kids does not mean you deserve my sympathy. I may not have them, but I have things going on in my life as well. I don't rant and rave about those to you, so why do you feel the need to talk about how hard it is with kids 24/7/365. I'm sure it is, but we're all going through things.

In other areas......

7) Thanks for making me laugh when I was so stressed out that I was ready to give up. Thanks for knowing what was going to make me smile that particular clinical day.

8) Thanks for all those late night phone chats where we said "We HAVE to get to bed, we have to be up for clinical at 4:30!" and just kept right on talking.

9) Thanks for the venting sessions in the medicine/supply room where we'd regroup and go back out to keep on trucking through the day.

10) Thanks for the inside jokes that I will never forget and for the friendships I am a better person for having.

Ooooo I thought of some more ;)

You kept telling everyone you were schizophrenic..... What made you think you could become a nurse? We were all so happy when you dropped out.

To the crazy one who graduated with us.... same question :eek:
