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! :)

If you "only care about money" and "really want to be barber" why are you in nursing school?
Not directed to you at all, it just sparked another annoyance of mine since it's on the same line.....
This reminded me of another one too, don't get snotty and make remarks because I don't "need" the money and I am not going into it for that. Of course getting paid well is important to me. I stayed in Daycare being over worked and underpaid for 5 years because I LOVED THE CHILDREN and was scared to leave them. But those days are over. Financially it isn't crucial for me to work right now, but I WANT to do something and if something did happen with my husband I will need a good job with good pay to provide for my children. But don't make the comments that jobs should be reserved for those that truly need them. I work just as hard as anyone else.
I think it was just posted after yours too, usually if someone is speaking directly to you, they will quote your post. Well most do. Makes it easier for sure
Thanks! I'm practically a baby here (hey, gotta claim youth wherever you can ), and I'm still learning the ropes. I try really hard to remember to put quotes in, but sometimes I forget.

No worries, I sometimes forget myself and I am on the older spectrum of young

Oh, so you're a teenager.
To get back on topic: There are some things I'd like to say to the majority of my classmates.
You'll be awesome nurses someday, and I'm proud to call you my classmates. When the time comes, I'll be just as proud to call you teammates.
For the one who keeps me on track, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. There's no way I'd be able to keep up with the various assignments and when they're due if not for you. (The syllabus is just a plan to be changed - at a moment's notice, with at least one change every class.)
For my friends who are going through personal conflicts while they try to navigate their way through this adventure known as nursing school: Keep your chins up and keep your eyes on the prize. You'll make it, and at the pinning ceremony, you can claim your final revenge against the people and situations that seemed like they were trying to derail you. It will all be worth it in the end. You're doing an amazing job of balancing school, work, caregiving responsibilities, and crazy family drama, and believe it or not, those experiences will make you a better nurse.
For the ones who make us laugh when we feel like crying: thank you for helping all of us maintain some semblance of insanity during this roller coaster ride. Life, even during nursing school, is too short to take everything so seriously. We all need to laugh at your crazy antics, and you make a long stressful day much easier to bear. I hope I do the same for you.
For better or for worse, we're in it together for the next 3 semesters. I couldn't imagine a group I'd rather go through He** with than you guys.
To the women in my class when we are doing OB content: I dont care how many kids you have, the way they came out or didnt for that matter, your views on "natural" birth, your views on vaccinations or any of your ideas on parenting. Lets get through the information and save the stories and opinions for another time.
No, the sometimes odd behaviors of the patients on the psych unit are not funny or there to supply you with amusement. The people who are there definitely have a mental illness and possibly a developmental disability. They have little control, often, over what they are doing. You, however, have the choice to act like a mature professional and deal with it appropriately and contructively instead of laughing and pointing.

UGH! I am NOT looking forward to our Maternal/Child nursing class! :barf01::barf01:

I am doing my best to prep for my OB rounds because I am that mother. I have very strong beliefs, and opinions, and my face just doesn't hide my thoughts very well. I am open minded, and realize everyone is diff, but I have a low tolerance for going with the flow, and doing things "just because".
