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 one of those too! For a minute there, I thought you were a student from my class lol. The woman in my class - this sounds bad, but it's true - looks like she spent most of her life in a bar, she just looks rough around the edges. She's a nice person, but says the dumbest things. I used to believe that there wasn't such a thing as a dumb question, but after being around her I've changed my mind.
We covered our sexual reproduction unit at the beginning of this semester. We were talking about BPH, prostates, TURP, etc. during class. Then, our instructor began talking about meds used with patients who have BPH - she likes to kind of tie our nursing class and pharm together because it helps us understand. Anyway, this woman spoke up half way through the lecture and asked, "What? So Flomax is used to increase menstrual flow?" Seriously? We were just talking about male parts - where do you come off with menstrual flow? Our instructor corrected her but to this day she still thinks it's for menstrual flow. And she records the lectures and still believes things like that. She pronounces the word "bruit" as "brute", which is fine if you haven't heard the instructor and many nurses during clinical pronounce it the other way. She also had 3 medication errors in one (1) day! Which I am still in disbelief about. They weren't about high risk meds like opioids, hypnotics, insulin - but still, how is she still here?
Hmmmm, I think we ARE in the same class! Our instructor also combines nursing and pharmacology, BTW. That comment about menstrual flow and Flowmax? This woman totally could have said that. There have been many similar ones that have issued forth from her mouth. It's really astonishing...
Shut up about your wedding already. When you complain that your parents are forcing you to have a big church wedding while letting your brother get away with a JP wedding, you sound like an ingrate. Be ecstatic that they are insisting and PAYING for it.
In other news... quit talking about the above during school. There is NO correlation between our lab assignment (or current lecture or whatever) and your wedding.
And if you insist on talking about it... and I try to offer you a positive perspective... do not take that as an invitation to complain more to me.
My own wedding was 30 minutes on my husband's lunch break at the JP office because we paid for it ourselves.
To the 50 something year old guy, no one cares how much beer you drank last night/yesterday/this weekend. You sound like a 18 year old bragging about how many beers you had. And it is truly amazing, and annoying, how you manage to find a beer reference to apply to every single concept we cover in class.
*You've told us a gazillion times that you're married, have kids, take care of your ailing parents, volunteer at the leper colony and you still won't stop. Can't you tell that when you start in on these stories, that we're not interested? So here's your clue: stop.
* You failed the blood pressure test-out. On the pre-programmed mannequin! Whay are you arguing that the settings on it are faulty when you screwed up the blood pressure? You got it wrong. AND YOU'RE STILL ARGUING WITH THE TEACHER. Wow, you're going to be a nurse someday. Good heavens.
* Stop brining in your Strawberry Shortcake lunchboxes into class. You look stupid.
*Must you bring in your Fajitas, burritos, and loud chips into class? What happened during lunch? Were you texting someone about "Gossip Girl" and you lost track of time?
Someone needs to post a link of that new God awful "Friday" video on the Internet. The sound of it describes my class!

We. Don't. Care.
Haha, your post made me
Does this dude have the oh so sexay kegger belly to? Please tell me he does.
I probably already said this, but I put on my Facebook that I was gonna charge 10 bucks for every stupid birth story or kid story during mother-baby class...by the time school started last semester and people started going "When I had ASHLEE...." others would yell out "TEN DOLLARS" and the prospective storyteller would shut up. lol
- You are the biggest brown noser I have ever seen.
- Quit trying to answer all five call lights at the same time, you're asking for something bad to happen.
- Can't wait to see you try to do EVERYTHING to the ideal with four patients and still manage to get all your breaks in like you think you will.
- Let's see you try to boss your preceptor around like you do to me and see how well that goes =)
- Wait, it's almost the end of our first semester and you just now got checked off on fingersticks???
- I think your prior drug history has fried your brain and I am scared for your patients' safety.
- Could you at least try to look presentable for clinicals?!?
- I can smell your perfume/cologne.
- You are nuts for thinking you're gonna get hired into the floor and shift of your choice upon graduation!
- Stop asking the professor to repeat EVERY sentence as soon as she says it. You're the reason why we never get through our lectures!
- To the people who dropped out (there's 33 out of 40 left and we just had midterms), while I'm glad you figured out nursing wasn't for you, I hope you realize you took someone's spot that would've stuck with it. For someone like me who waited four long, agonizing years to get in, it ticks me off a little bit thinking about it.
Stop whining!!!!!!!!!! I just got out of clinical today and had to come home and post on this thread. The whole way home (I carpool with 3 other girls, since our hospital is 45 minutes away) all they talked about was how our clinical instructor is too old to be an instructor and how she's horrible and blady blady blaaaaa. We did oral presentations of a careplan we put together today and well one of the girls just did a horrible job...and then she gets mad when the clinical instructor tries to help her. Seriously people, there not out to upset us...they're out to make us damn good nurses, God knows that's what is needed. Not just half-ass nurses, but nurses who are smart, thorough, careful and caring.
