What is it about nursing students....

[delirium]

that makes them so godawful stupid?

I swear, it must be a requirement to exchange your brain for a spot in the program. I just spent a very long morning in orientation (hello? I'm a SENIOR student) where students (seniors like me) asked all kinds of stupid questions that we already know the answers to.

And why do I have to come in for orientation so the instructor can read us the syllabus? Are we all suddenly illiterate? And a seminar on time management? I could scream!

Its just totally ridiculous. They could do all this the first day of class and save a bunch of time and a 100 mile drive for me (50 miles to the central campus each way).

"What do you think is the best way to study?"

"Should we read the material before or after the lecture?"

"Will we have a tutor again?"

On and on and on....

I left after lunch.

Sorry, needed to vent.

i don't know which is worse, being with dingbats or being with some total complainers who are nursing assistants and think they know everything.

i have several of these in some of my classes and they constantly complain about the nurses they work with.

and the attitudes... ugh..lol..

no instructor has to hold their hands because they know everything that the nurses are doing wrong at their facilities. or so they think..

thanks for letting me vent on your thread mspurp..

LOL! Apparently this is a thread for everyone to vent on!

I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone in my frustrations.

Oh well, suck it up and go on, and hope I don't work with any of these people professionally.

In Nursing programs, the students fit into 2 distinct catagories....

1) the ones who can think for themselves, and actually have a full brain in their head, and

2) the ones who all share a brain (each one has only a limited number of neurons,) and when added together equals an entire brain! Often times... this group also includes many instructors..

Just my opinion..........
