They warned us. We had a special lunch with the "junior" LPN class about two weeks ago, and we took advantage of the time to ask for tips and advice for our class. One of the tips was for our class to stick together. There will be times we get on each other's nerves and plain piss each other off. There will be times we will be inseparable.
This past week, was a *get out of my face* kinda week. it all started with a student and a teacher having a mis-communication, which led to another student putting her two cents in where it was blatantly obvious the first student could care less. I was seriously wondering if it was going to come to blows. The nursing director of the program had to come in and the teacher stepped out. Everyone's concerns were voiced and issues were resolved. To a point anyway. the two girls harbored their feelings the rest of the day and did not come to their calm senses and apologize until the next day.
The whole thing bothered me and quite a few others. We were reviewing for a dosage and calculation test that was to be the next day, when all this started. So in reality, that review was wasted, 45 minutes of our class time was wasted. honestly, I was pissed. I and others pay good money to go to this college. I'm there to learn, and grow as a person. I felt like I was in highschool all over again by what I was witnessing. That's 45 minutes of class time we will never get back.
I did pass the test the following day, but that's beside the point. I really hope something like this never happens again......but according to the junior class, it's just begun.
*sigh*

And THIS is what I have to look forward to, lol. It happens, Sis. From what I've heard from you, this class is high-stress, high-pressure. I'm sure everyone's feeling it. Naturally, there are going to be those that choose to let their stress out in immature ways. Even adults are immature at times. I hate that your review got messed up, though, I know how nervous you were about that particular test. Glad you did well on it, though.
ReplyDeleteNext time they decide to be attitudinal and immature, do what you do best. Tell them all to sit down and shut up, lol. I'm always here if you need an ear to vent on. (((HUGS)))
