What is with all the crying?

Published

I keep reading these posts:

"Chemestry made me cry today."

"I don't like my preceptor so I came home after clinical and cried all night."

"The CNA on my floor was mean to me so I came home and cried."

"I'm not doing well on the Kaplan practice and I can't stop crying."

Etc.

Etc.

Ok, I understand nursing school is stressful. Heck, I just graduated 2 months ago, so trust me - I understand.

Still, WTH is going on with all the crying every time something goes wrong? Prior to nursing school, did you all start bawling every time things didn't go your way? Are you all still 8 years old?

Seriously, if these little BS issues put you into hysterics, what do you think is going to happen to you when you are faced with an actual crisis on the floor? I mean a true life-or-death situation. Are you going to throw your hands up and turn into a blubbering mess or are you going to focus on your training and skills and solve the problem?

Jeez, grow up! Focus on the important things in life and just shrug off all of the other crap.

I hope many of these people do not become police officers.
