Who the hell are these people!%#!

Nobody warned me about how shallow people could be in a program that attracts so many that want to help others.  This nursing program is just like high school; it's clicky, competitive (you would think we are all fighting for the same job) and full of judgmental people.  Shame on me for being so naive.  

There's definitely some age gaps but I was hoping for a little more maturity.  It's weird, one day they will talk to me and next they won't; probably because they either want something or they just have to know what score I got on my latest test.  

A couple of times after the first week of school, I have questioned my ability to stay in this program and deal with all this.  I realize everyday that this kind of nasty attitude makes me work harder to succeed because I feel like those are the people that want to see you fail.

And these instructors!  Do they honestly believe that students learn better by being yelled at and humiliated at clinical?  I don't give a s*** if thats how they learned; didn't they think at some point while someone was yelling at them, "hey, when I grow up to be an instructor, I won't yell at my students because I don't like to be yelled at"?  (They couldn't have possibly liked to be yelled at, could they?)  Quick someone give them a Prozac!

I hope I don't sound too bitter; I just don't put up with this s***.
