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! :)
It's Monday morning in our 8 a.m. class. Please stop giving us a play by play recount of what you did over the weekend. I don't want to hear you. As you talk, everyone is rolling their eyes with the "there she goes again" look. Zip it.
A couple of my classmates have made joking complaints to me because I tend to be the first done (often within 20 minutes), and I usually, but not always, do well. I explained that I simply read fast, I RARELY go back to check, and if 'a' seems to be the correct choice to me, I don't keep reading the rest. I have been taking state-wide standardized tests every 9 weeks since third grade. I can pass with flying colors in 20 minutes or I can fail fantastically in 20 minutes.
I always am the first finished with my tests, I go through answer what I know, go back and answer the few I left blank, right up to my finals of my last semester, I finish both those finals first. I agree I either know it or I dont. But good for you, because recently I took NCLEX, I took longer going through all the sign in and security that taking the test, 75 questions, and done in about 40 minutes, by the way I passed. Don;t let it get to you, you and I are just good test takers and that is a great advantage on the NCLEX, good luck
Could you please stop talking with that high pitched girly girl voice?
Why do you have to tell THE WHOLE CLASS what you're doing when you get home on our way out of class? So you have to do grocery shopping, walk your dog, yadda yadda yadda. Nop. Don't care.
Stop saying how a cometency check off "was so easy for you that any retard can do it." I dare you to say that to the teacher.

If my husband is any indication, breasts remain fascinating basically forever. I'm waiting until gravity takes its toll to see if that holds true.
Amen to that, if I even need my husbands attention and he is distracted all I have to do is flash him and all of a sudden I have his full undivided attention :| He can be totally absorbed in something as well and I can say boobs and he will look up.
I'll end up doing the majority of this group project by myself because I don't trust anyone else to do it right. All of you are treating this class like it's a fluff class based on nothing, and while I publicly agree because I'm tired of trying to explain why certain classes are necessary in college and isolating myself, it bothers me a lot that nobody cares at all.
Biggest secret? I agreed to be in your group, knowing that you knew I would do a good portion of the important parts, because I knew you wouldn't complain about it when I took over the group as the leader so I could do it my way.
I would have loved to have been able to use duck tape in class today!
I wish I had could use duct tape every single day in class. I bet the teacher wishes she had the power to use duct tape on you...dont you see the looks she gives you?!
One in particular I'd just like to tell her she sucks as a person. She's managed to offend, annoy, and generally be a total jerk to everyone in our class. The attitude of hers seems to be if she has an opinion, then yours doesn't matter. Today was a breaking point and I think it might be worth hitting her over the head with the 80lb med/surg book except she's pregnant. She's now using the "I'm pregnant" excuse to make all the horrible things she says ok. As in, "I don't feel well today, I guess I'm on edge." She's behaved this way for 2 years now. First semester she had a friend that helped her, and it was me they decided to bust out in class with something I never even said, yet when I confronted her with what WAS said, she totally backtracked. Really? You can be an @ss in front of everyone but you can't just apologize for acting that way?:spbox:
Today, we were voting for our entrance songs for pinning, and (while many of you may love this song) the two songs we'd narrowed it to were tied. One was "I hope you dance". I like that one fine, but not for a bunch of grown women graduating nursing school. One of our classmates lost her daughter very painfully, and to make matters worse she had no support at the time. For these and other reasons, she is still incredibly saddened and emotional regarding her loss, and that song was played at her baby's funeral. She was tearing up and finally told a few of us about the song's meaning for her. We took it to the class to see if they wanted to pick the other song or make a change. This ONE 'woman' piped up with, "Well if we're going to bring personal emotions into it, my grandmother passed away and that was her favorite song." :angthts:
Yeah, because those two situations are even remotely the same. I just want to scream at her,"Could you possibly, for one second of your life PRETEND like you can let someone else's feelings/needs come before your own?!!!" Then, she has told everyone she's come in contact with that she 'didn't know' why the song was going to be changed. Which was a lie! She was in the room when the reason was given. So she also says, no one let her finish what she was saying. I'd really like to tell her to SHUT UP!! If you'd just shut your insensitive, painfully selfish, outrageously stupid mouth, you wouldn't have to lie to CYA! I'll be so glad when December comes and I never have to deal with her again. Thankfully she's even moved away and only comes in for class. Sorry this was so long, but I really wonder how some people will be able to make decent nurses when they can't find empathy or the ability to look beyond their own feelings:oornt:
