A good friend of mine in school is starting to drive me crazy, and I don't know what to do! :angryfire
All she does is complain about how stupid the teachers are, how much clinical paperwork we have to do, how we have to do it, how the tests are unfair, how the grading scale is ridiculous, why the readings are so long, etc. It's really frustrating to me because for awhile we got somewhat of the same grades (low 80s) until I changed around my study habits and brought my grades up. Now she looks at me like I'm some evil vixen out to get her because my grades have been higher. I have offered to study with her, quiz her, anything, and I get met with hostility. I lent her my NCLEX review book and she grumbled at me that she'll probably never look at it because "it's just more reading." She even scoffs at me when someone asks me a question about SNA (of which I'm an active member) and tells me she doesn't know how I find the time to join some "stupid club" when there are "sooooo many drug cards to write." She even makes comments about my personal life (the fact that I have a boyfriend who I just bought a townhome with). Other people have noticed her behavior, because it's not just directed towards me. I feel bad because her failing grades are starting to become a real problem, and the faculty has suggested that she seriously consider dropping, but I know that's not the reason for her behavior because she's been acting like this since August of last year. On the other hand, she doesn't study at all for the tests, and then blames the teachers for making them too hard! I don't know what else to do! Our program is not unlike any other; it's nursing school, and it's not gonna be easy!!!! If it was easy, we wouldn't have a nursing shortage. I just wanna grab her and ask her what she's doing here if she thinks she's wasting so much time. She's the biggest example of a 28 y/o that acts like a 12 y/o that I've ever seen. I've already switched seats in class to get away from her remarks about how "pointless" it is for us to learn about cardiac drugs, but what else can I do??? :uhoh21:
