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

Published

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! :)

To the person that sits right next to me in theory...STOP PIGGY BACKING ON ME!!! U are in nursing school for crying out loud!! Read ahead of class, know when assignments are due and stop asking me questions about EVERYTHING, especially when I am in a conversation with another class mate, and you just butt-in to find out what we are talking about to make sure that you dont miss anything. Its annoying as H**!! If you cant keep up with your assignments, and reading and can't come to lab prepared then NS is NOT for you. :mad:

To the person that sits across the room who makes everyone cringe when you start talking...STOP ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW MORE THAN THE TEACHER!!! Just because you were in paramedic school before the nursing program does not me you know anything...stop contradicting everything the teacher says!!! U just confuse everyone and we are starting to really hate you. No one wants to be in your group when we do lab/class assignments because we already know we will get NOWHERE.

Thank heavens for this thread!! Whew, I feel alot better.:)

OMG YES! Lol- there definitely are some, um, "spitting" matches on AN, to put it nicely. Maybe you did go to the hardest nursing school in the country. Maybe nursing school was just harder for you than it is for others. Maybe nursing school in general is challenging!

One of my favorite threads is the how much reading per week thread. Someone says it's tough cause they have like 50 pages to read for the week, someone else is like, pfft 50 we read 100, someone else is like pfft 100 we read 300, than 500 next will be 5,000. LOL

Pfffft, we have to WRITE our textbooks before we read them.

Thanks for inviting our whole year level EXCEPT ME to the class party you organised...and then blabbing it all around to made sure I knew about it. So what...you don't like me...act your age for gods sake !! This isn't some popularity contest. How tacky. :rolleyes:

Stop coming to class in shorts that look like panties, please.

I almost peed my pants at this one.

and to the 4 girls that ALWAYS ask the stupidest motherf-ing questions at the end of class, SHUT THE **** UP. if you want to ask a question that ridiculous, wait til after class. we sit at least 15 minutes past class time to hear this s**t, some of us have children in daycare that need to be picked up.

also, stop ******** about how tough nursing school is + working ONE HALF DAY A WEEK. you don't have kids or a full time job, you should be getting an A+ right now. aaaaaaagh.

and no *****, having a child and going to school is not easier than working 30 hours a week and going to school. they're both equally as hard, except you get to go home and study. i get to go home and wipe boogers and wake up at 2am for a feeding. so shove it :)

"Seriously, did you REALLY just ask that off the topic, irrelevant question? Some of us would like to go home this century!"

Yes, traffic can cause us to be late sometimes, but every time you come into class late, you always have your Starbucks/Coolatta/Dunkin' Donuts in hand. How on earth did you manage to find the time to get them in the middle of all that traffic.

It's really nice that you have all your notebooks and binders color co-ordinated according to class, but please stop flicking your 3 ring binder open and closed every 3 seconds in class.

I'm sorry that your clinical site is a pain to travel to. But we were all told during orientation that you can't switch clinical sites. Stop complaining and deal with it. Life doesn't always treat you fairly. Get over it.

It's the middle of winter. Enough with the halter tops and short shorts. And I really don't need to see your nasty fat feet overflowing in your flip-flops. It's not sexy. At all.

I know it's been said before, but please stop bringing in the Dora the Explorer or Doodlebops lunchboxes. It's not cute. And it makes you look dumb, too.

We've been in the program four 2 freakin' years....Why, during orientation, do you still ask dumb questions like "What do we do if we get sick in clinical?" "How do we get the PowerPoint slides from our e-mail", "Why is clinical on Thursdays this semester?" OMG how have you made it this far?

I can't believe you have the nerve to sit in class everyday with your super-huge-and-expensive laptop open, acting like you are all super-high-techy taking notes an all... when you are really on Facebook the whole time. If you haven't figured this out, everyone sitting behind can read (and has read) everything word posted on your page.

To the girl who tells me every day In class that I dress like a model, first of all I am not a model. I might look like a model to you because you don't know how to dress appropriately for class. I dress normal, you are the one that comes to class with pajamas( that is just ugly and nasty). When you come to class with pj's it shows that you lack hygiene. It seems like you just woke up and came to school without brushing your teeth, washing hands,face, etc.

I like all my other classmates :), I like them even if they ask "stupid" questions, asking is better than not asking. What might be a good question for you might not be for others; and what might be a stupid question for you might be a great question for the instructor or other students.
