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! :)
-I am not "cold" just because I refuse to talk to our ADULT patients like they are children. I know I don't come across as "sweet" but I do come across as professional.
-Just because I am still planning on getting my degree in Political Science doesn't mean I am not passionate enough about nursing. I can be passionate about both.
-And to the pre-nursing students in my micro class: I can tell you are upset that I was able to get in to such a difficult program without my science courses, but stop making me feel awkward about it.
I would love to wear a sign the first day that says: I am not a snob. I am quiet. NO I do not think I am better than you. I am just quiet! :redbeathe
Me too! I am quiet and a little shy, and it takes me a little to warm up to people-though I am working on it. Also NS director told us to work in study groups, that it is better at preparing one for tests, however I have always studied on my own and dont really know how to study in a group-I think I will start a thread on that:heartbeat:nurse::heartbeat
I just started the nursing program and finished up my first week. During the first week, alot of focus was put on not judging others, gossiping, tolerance, and supporting fellow students, even if you do not like them personally. In addition, this is my first time comming onto this website and into the nursing student area. Reading the compaints of other students bothers me, because the compaints are just personal opinions of other peoples faults, with no factual basis, in plane since, it is just griping about people and not being understanding and looking at things from other perspectives and not just your own. Anyhow it is dissapointing, I know things are stressful, life is stressful, nursing school can be stressful, but taking your frustration out by bad mouthing fellow students is the wrong way of doing it.

Hi,
I just started the nursing program and finished up my first week. During the first week, alot of focus was put on not judging others, gossiping, tolerance, and supporting fellow students, even if you do not like them personally. In addition, this is my first time comming onto this website and into the nursing student area. Reading the compaints of other students bothers me, because the compaints are just personal opinions of other peoples faults, with no factual basis, in plane since, it is just griping about people and not being understanding and looking at things from other perspectives and not just your own.

People need to vent, most people, it's natural. It is better for someone to come here and vent, rather than keep it bottled in and blow up in the middle of class or on another person ya know? I wouldn't read to much into it.
Please, please. please shut up, I don't care about how they do it in the hospital, LTC home, etc where you work or about your grandmothers, brother, mothers etc illness, please let the professor talk, I know you have vast experience and wisdom that none of the rest of us had, but please just shut up, and stop interrupting class so maybe the rest of us could learn someting
I know what you're talking about. There's always a certain few that MUST tell us family stories.........I mean, I don't mind if a professor does it, as they relate it to something we are discussing in class...........but there are ones that just tell stories and interupt!!
Ohhh that makes me crazy, we will be rolling along and things are starting to fit together and wham we get sidetracked by my grandmothers urinary retention or my brothers asthma, I want to scream "shut up" why do they do this and why do professors allow it!
No, I don't think it's a good idea trying to get our Instructor (who is also going to oversee some of out clinicals) fired by running to the Office staff every time you think they are being unfair.
Yes, I am old to be in "this" class, but not too old to pursue an education and a dream.
No I do not want to join the study group where all everyone does is divide up the homework and takes a piece of it while the others do another piece and no one learns the actual full lesson, just their own piece.
No I am not happy to be in this group for a group project, but I see it as good practice for working with others who i can not stand.
And on a less negative note, Thank you, my class for all its know-it-alls, slackers, silly people, motormouths, and just plain irritating people has become a very large, extended dysfunctional family of sorts. Many share at the drop of a hat (sometimes more then I cared to know), and others seem truly concerned when ills befall a classmate. At the halfway point in my education its actually neat to look around my class and see these 30 strangers from a year before slowly becomming nurses, and it inspires me all that much more.
