Weird/ Dumb Nursing School Rules

toomanypants · Mar 12, 2016

Oh, I wanted to add that I despised that we were made to bring our skills bag to sim lab every single time throughout the entire program.

I would park off campus and walk to class, and in the summer, it was awful. Our school scrubs were dark red and black and made of the most inhumane material. Carrying that bag plus my backpack was seriously the pits. I would curse under my breath the whole walk!

We only used those stupid bags for fundamentals, but I still had to lug it each time. oh the perils of being a student...at the mercy of everything.

I get it. I knew what my nursing school's rules were before I signed up. I follow the rules, but it doesn't mean that I don't think some of them are a bit silly. It's ok to admit you didn't like some rules.

ICUman,

Thanks for your opinions. Sorry you need to feel negative and hostile about it. I wasn't trying to make the school look bad. It was a great school and I learned so much there. There were just some silly rules (as I am sure most schools have) that I wanted to rant about.

Exactly! and thank you for trying to empathize rather than tear me down! I appreciate it :)

We're not tearing you down. We all have our own opinions.

I don't feel that way at all. Just calling you out on misguiding people and not being honest. Nobody is tearing you down. Glad you had an overall positive experience with the university.

Yes you do. Your words speak for themselves. And as far as misguiding people and not being honest? Ha! I could say the same thing about you and it would actually be true. Have a good night. Peace.

Nah, it wouldn't. Nice try.

Wow this escalated quickly.

This whole thing made me chuckle....you work in a hospital you basically wear pajamas to work and the most comfortable shoes you can find and no one gives a rats ass if you have neatly trimmed facial hair while you are saving their life in real life. :up:

Am I the only one who cares? If you can't bother to to keep up with your hygiene/hair, what does that say about you?

Edited to add: Long hair needs to be tied up & kept out of patient care. I wouldn't want someone's beard or any hair in me or my loved one. That is so disgusting.

I don't get what the huff and puff at OP is for. I would find the rule to not wear flip flops and shorts to class dumb too. Trading other comments and finding it is in an LDS community makes it understandable though.

But for people to act like wanting to wear flip flops to class is so unprofessional and horrible is ridiculous to me lol.

For non clinical or lab days, we could wear pretty much whatever. Obviously a sports bra and short shorts would be frowned upon. But wearing flip flops, or sweat pants, or shorts, or unkempt hair or whatever was no big deal. It was about being comfortable while in class all day. It made us no less professional in the clinical or lab setting to get to be comfortable for theory classes.
