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! :)
5. stop telling everyone how you didn’t even study so you don’t care that you got a c on the exam. we can see right through it, you did study. your just stupid!
grammer prude time. whose calling who stupid now.......
1. Don't say (in front of most of the class) that I should be doing better in class and ask me what else I have to do since I don't have kids (when you personally know I can't) and a husband.
2. To the early post. I have Bs in all of my nursing classes, and not high Bs mind you (except clinicals). I just benchmarked my first time taking the HESI. Some of us learn differently. Just because we don't have As doesnt mean that we won't be awesome nurses. And again- this is why people say "nurses eat their young"- we need to work on less competitions and hostility and more cooperation and support for other nurses. That's awesome that you are suceeding, but unless you are with someone 24-7 you don't know how much they study or how hard they work to get those Cs.

Who's calling who stupid now.
Who's Vs Whose
Step 1
Spell both words, and notice that "who's" has an apostrophe. An apostrophe means that letters or words have been left out. In this situation, "who's" is a short way to write "who is."
Step 2 Decide which meaning you intend. Choose "who's" when you mean "who is," as in "Who's going to clean the mud off this carpet?" Replacing "who's" with "who is" makes sense in this context. If "who is" doesn't make sense in the sentence, then your only other option is to use "whose."
Step 3 Choose "whose" if you want to indicate possession, as in "Abby, whose poetry never rhymes has a fat cat named Tabby." Notice that "whose" must be followed by the thing possessed, which is "poetry" in the previous sentence.

1. Stop crying because you can barley pass an exam and start studying.
2. No, C doesn't equal RN. C equals a poor nursing student who will probably be stopped by the HESI E2 or NCLEX.
3. Stop hating because I have a 4.0.
4. Nobody cares that you are a PCA or how they do something at "your" hospital.
5. Stop telling everyone how you didn't even study so you don't care that you got a C on the exam. We can see right through it, you did study. Your just stupid!
WOW
FYI 4.0 doesn't always = Good nurse, it equals good test taker. I have met MANY 4.0 nursing students with 0 bed side manner, 0 personality. Sorry but that doesn't make you a good nurse.
i'm getting flamed :angryfirefor what i'd like to say to *some* nursing student. everyone on the defensive should know that i'm referring to a group of students who always brag about how they never study, don't buy the required nursing textbooks, and are happy with a mere c average. these same students bash any a student and come up with excuses as to why the a student has more time to study then they do.
yes, a 4.0 gpa doesn't guarantee a good nurse. there are a lot of other important skills that you are graded on in nursing school. i am confidante that i am a good nursing student both in the classroom and in the clinical setting. i have received nothing but positive reviews from all of my clinical instructors; i have been given multiple patients when all other students are only assigned one patient. i have always given the best possible care to all my patients and have always felt good when clinical was over that i did everything good and there was nothing more i could have done or should have done.
would you want to have a c average nurse take care of you knowing that they didn't study, read from a nursing textbook, or even buy the book? i know i wouldn't.
What does it show if someone got a B without even studying? That they're brilliant? I don't see how the nursing knowledge can just fly into your brain if you've never even cracked open the text. Maybe if you have good study habits and you pay attention in class and keep up with the reading and review every night, you can do well without cramming the night before the test. But I don't believe it's possible for someone to do no work at all and get B's. Unless you're in a school with really low standards.
at my school- these students that i'm referring to go to lecture and study the notes. if the information wasn't on the powerpoint for the test, they simply try to guess to answer the question. they don't bother to read from the text.
I'm not trying to be aggressive. And some people pick up information easily or they have a brain which is comfortable in the nursing role.
And I don't doubt that you are intelligent.
I just feel like you are really stressed out by these girls/women/men/boys in your program and its not worth being stressed about. If you are succeeding, ignore them and get your degree. You only have your license to worry about.
I think people are forgetting this is a venting thread, intended to let people blow off steam to reduce stress. These comments are aimed at the people in each posters nursing class not to the people on here...am I correct?
yeah, sorry - took it personally because of personal stress. seriously sorry - keep the venting coming. It is usually entertaining when I am not so uptight.
