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! :)
We have three students in our class that are possibly THE MOST ANNOYING students. Ever.
We call them:
Chatty Cathy
Biker Mama
Pete Pete Repeat
Pete Pete will literally raise his hand after every statement the teacher makes and repeats what she just said. Everyone's like, ***** What don't you get?
Biker Mama is this middle-aged woman that dresses in tight jeans and brags about how she hangs out at the biker bars and rides her Harley around town. Again, no one cares. Her only wish is that she had children. Maybe if you changed your attitude, lady, and gave a flying fig about other people besides yourself, you may get a man.
Chatty Cathy, we swear, has Turner's syndrome. How she gets her morbidly obese body into her tight fitting clothes is beyond me. Her voice sounds like she's speaking through a kazoo. (Her other nickname is Kazoo lady).
All three of these Devil's spawns hang out together like nuns. Chatty Cathy asked THE SECOND WEEK OF SCHOOL what would be covered on the mid-term so she "could start studying now." The teacher said it was too premature to ask, but she had the "Dear God get a life already" look in her eyes. Biker Mama has seen EVERY DISEASE, PATHOLOGY, you name it, in clinicals even though we've only had 2 weeks of clinicals!! Everyone knows she's lying and just talking just to hear herself talk. Someone in class approached her and pretty much told her to knock it off. Thank you Jesus!
Great story Tyler77! Hilarious! Almost peed myself laughing! This blog has turn into one hell of a discussion. It amazes me how some of these students are future NURSES!?!?! I mean really?! I am a new RN student however I have worked in corporate America a long time and part of success is professionalism, in and out of classrooms. Nursing is a very skillful profession and if you are NOT serious, committed, and have some common sense, then you're definitely in the wrong field. No laughing matter here.
#1.) While I'm SO happy that you've had babies, I really do NOT want/need to hear how the OB/GYN "ripped your ***** to shreds." A.) That's disgusting. B.) It has absolutely nothing to do with today's lecture on burns. OB was last semester, please stop talking about giving birth.
#2.) The instructor said "I'm going to pass around the sign-up sheet for skills exam." When did that become code for "Please rush the front of the room, push your classmates out of the way, and trample small children if necessary."??!
#3.) Asking the instructor to repeat something once is fine. By the 4th time (in 30 minutes), it's really beyond irritating. You claim to need that front row seat so you can pay close attention...well, it kinda seems like it's not working. What the h*ll are you doing up there?!
I thought it would be funny to give a small cough every time you ask a stupid question, but I better stop before the instructor puts a mask on me and insists I get checked for TB.
1. I understand getting a B when you are used to getting A's is difficult. Trust me, I am in the same boat as you. But can you please NOT talk about how "horrendous" your 80% made you feel when you can plainly see one of our classmates crying because she did not pass the exam. Really, can you please show some tact? You are old enough to know better.
2. Stop giggling at the pictures of breasts. It's not cute. Many of us have them and those who don't have likely seen them.
3. I understand getting bored in class. Really, I do. But please don't keep whispering to me when I am trying to pay attention. I am struggling in this class and need all the help I can get. This help does not include listening to your stories about your dog.
In one of my classes the age group is about 18 -23 years old ( I am in this age group), except one lady who is in her 50s.
I would like to say to some people :
Just because this lady in our class is a bit older than us, it doesn't mean you have to sit at the back of the class and loudy make fun of the "****** old *****"....or post the same stuff all over your facebook pages. You are a disgrace and I think you have picked the wrong job if you are going to dicriminate against people because of there age !
And... please don't write crap about me on your facebook pages either. Maybe your forgetting that everyone can read them, including me. I don't like being called an "***** fat loser " and picked on just because I choose to be friends with this older woman ( and yes, that is the reason...they were all fine with me till I started chatting to her ! Now they go out of there way to say in front of me "Dont talk to her, shes like, friends with like, that old lady !")
I know you're late/absent on more than a few times throughout the semester, so why, when we're given a surprise quiz and you're not there, you whine to the teacher that the zero you get will bring your grade down?
Hint: It says on the syllabus that if you miss a quiz, you get a ZERO! NO MAKE-UP QUIZZES GIVEN!
You know, the syllabus, that sheet of paper with all the typed words on it that expalins the class policies??? Oh wait, you must've been absent the FIRST DAY OF CLASS when it was given out.
1 - you do have spectacular breasts, but none of your classmates or the residents at the nursing home care. Save the revealing tops for bar hopping and try to present a professional appearance. When you tell people you're from our nursing program, you may be pretty cute, but you honestly make the program look ridiculous.
2 - if you plan to spend your seminar time on your iphone, please don't bother to come. You aren't learning anything, the professor isn't stupid - she sees you on there texting and it doesn't look good for you.
3 - When you ask questions in seminar, you look ridiculous because generally we have spent a significant amount of time discussing what you just asked about. Again, the iphone.
4 - We are not in high school. The professors give out a syllabus before class starts. When they tell you to look at it, there is a good reason. They aren't even mentioning the test for tomorrow because it's on your syllabus. The rest of us knew there was a test coming up. No one will hold your hand in the hospital and your professors are trying to prepare you for it.
-clinicals, NO your not better then everyone else, i dont care that your 35 y/o, volunteered as an emt, and never held a FT job, unlike us who worked FT in the medical industry
- STOP SAYING that theres plenty of jobs, NO hospitals hiring when there are hospital closures around us, YOU WILL NEED to MOVE to find a JOB & i dont care who you know & if your a minority! we are all graduating with the same degree you ignorant b!tch
- OB - Please stop saying you have kids or just had a baby and are asking for signs and symptoms, go TO YOUR primary care physician for YOUR medical concern
PEDS - once again ask your PCP not our instructor to talk about your kids for 10 min of OUR CLASS TIME
Stop using ur IPOD Blackberry to play games in the class, just leave.
Stop txting no ones that important, or just leave.
Yes you studied the night before the exam, and get an 88, but i studied 4 days in a row and got an 84. rightttt you studied the day before and prob got a 68 no need to inflate your grades so stop asking me what i got!
Do you think with your attitude and the way you talk about your classmates, that in the REAL WORK FORCE your allowed to TALK BACK, say nasty comments, act as if your entitled to something based on your ethnicity or background or who you know? you wont last long in a real full time job.
to the people who graduated with prior degrees and complain that their loans are 80k and this program will put them at 100k loan, you werent forced to sign up for this and NO you wont get a job making 90k a year, youll be lucky to get a per diem job with no benefits for your first 2 years and thats a positive outlook.
dont ask whats due this week and next week, read the 20 page syllabi like the rest of us
no i dont want you in my group when your busy taking care of your 2 kids, and submit your part 3 days lates and you put NO effort into our last group project
cheaters - good luck on the nclex hope you pass it on 5th try with 200+ questions in ur que
if your 22, stop being naive, youve never worked a real job, and have no clue what its like to have a full time job, and clinical rotations doesnt mean this is what a full time nursing job looks like
keep your trap closed when the professors talking!!!!!\
I dont care what your clinical patient had, keep it for your time in your clinical group, not our class time in the middle of our lecture!!!
ughhh thank goodness we dont spend 4 years with these people!!!!!!!!!!!
