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! :)
Thank you for asking me to help you toilet YOUR patient and i'm the one that got pooped on!!! Still love ya even though you ran from the room laughing at me!!!
OMG- I just had the most hilarious mental picture over that one- thanks for the laugh, zeppzepp!
Please oh please stop talking about death panels. Politics has no place in the classroom, especially if it comes from that particular news channel that pushes the death panel nonsense.
You must get annoyed easily because this is not that bad. I call friends to ask if grades are posted but not because I am lazy and don't want to get online, but because I don't have internet access everywhere I go. it's not like I ask people " oh what did you get" ?I don't even care what people get.
I'm totally fine with people asking who aren't home and don't have access to a computer at the moment. I do that myself. I was more referring to a specific person that sends text messages to me and my classmates every 15 minutes wanting to know if grades are up yet -- AND this person is already at home with access to the internet.
It's especially fun when I've been at work and I have 15+ text messages from this one person wanting to know it grades are posted yet (I regret giving out my number ).
Why don't you treat your family's medical information with the same confidentiality as your patients' information? That way I don't need to hear all the gory details. Besides wouldn't they be ****** off if they knew you blurted out extremely private info about them?
It seems like it's always when we're discussing the reproductive system when people open up the most about their family's health problems. I'm sure the families really appreciate it, too. The whole class just LOVES hearing about great uncle Sal's enormous priapism r/t taking too much Levitra because he and his mistress were having bedroom problems.
I don't care that you were accepted into every medical school that you applied to and that you turned them down because you feel you can serve humanity better by being a nurse. Chances are, you DIDN'T get into medical school and nursing school was your second choice. Tired of hearing that story from people.
I know it's warm out, but I really don't want to see your pierced navel and stretched marked muffin top overflowing over those tight Daisy Dukes. Do you really think you look attractive?
Stop coming to class late because your kids' school bus was late. I don't care.
I'm glad that you're pregnant, but do you really need to have a fourth child at the age of 24? Really--stop being a baby mamma and start being more mature.
I don't need to hear how the nurses on the unit wear Crocs and you have to wear nurses' shoes. Guess what--it's in the student handbook that we got that clearly states we have to wear nursing shoes and nothing else. Stop complaining. I'm not listening.
I'm glad you made note cards on every freakin' topic we learned, but please don't flip through them 5 minutes before an exam and ask "Oh what does this mean......". If you don't know it on exam day, then you don't know it. Period. Try studying--it's a good thing.
I can hardly understand a word you say because of your thick foreign accent. So why are you complaining that your patient's don't understand you?
Stop acting like it's beneath you to clean out a bedpand and/or change a a patient's diaper. No, it's not the job of the CNA, it's part of your job too. If the smell of poop bothers you, then yours must smell like a bed of roses. And if the smell does bother you, leave the program now.
Oh please let me enlighten you about them kind of people lol I used to work in the laboratory drawing blood. Well my manager was attending a great university for med school to be a neuro surgeon. She is 29 and spent several years in military in iraq as a medic. We all looked up to her because she always pushed us to get into nursing school, there was another coworker who was 22 ( same age as me) who would always try to compete with her saying she was going to med school too... she always looked down on us who wanted to be nurses, and then once we all started at our university for nursing, she realized that her GPA was not high enough for med school to even consider her and then she all of a sudden started saying she was gunna go to the same university with us for nursing.......3 weeks later she found out they didnt accept her either! lol

LOL. I had many classmates who would ONLY call me for help and I felt like I was being used and treated like an idiot, so I decided not to keep them as friends anymore :)...I simply say hi and bye.
I don't understand how you can finish a 75-question exam in only 20 minutes and then spend the entire rest of the allotted testing period outside smoking. Perhaps that is why your exam grades are so poor. Why must you always say "I read the question wrong" when you get an incorrect answer? That is a pretty obvious signal that you should read the test questions more carefully and check your work at the end. You have PLENTY of time in which to do this!! After all, you did spend an average of only 16 seconds reading the questions and your options.
Please, don't tell me how easy you thought med/surg and pharm were -- ESPECIALLY when you flunked out of both of them the first time, and that's why you got held back a semester and got stuck in my class and are STILL flunking out. Don't think I don't know about that.

That is funny. we have someone who races through their exam and is always first to leave. People say she aces them. Well if they say so....I would like to see the proof.
