Oh my God. I am not going to get on well here

NN1 and NN2 have calmed down somewhat
This week has yielded some gems of comedic genius and idoicy. This is a class example

Lecturer: You get 3 resits, and the pass mark is 40%. I think pass mark is too low. I do not want to be nursed by someone who doesn't know 60% of what might KILL ME!
Student: Excuse me?
L: Yes?
S: See how you said the pass mark was 40%, and we get 3 resits? Does that mean we only have to score 13% each time?

L: Other student was on her third diet and still not referncing properly. If you get to YOUR third diet and still not referncing, PLEASE PLEASE come and see me.
S: What does it have to do with the course if I'm losing weight?

Other gems include the very knowledgeable 18 year old who declared that "people who try to kill themselves like 3 or 4 times obviously aren't doing it right" (no shit Sherlock) and "we should just leave them as its all about attention and its a waste of my time". Someone you would not want treating you right there.

Theres more. Oh God theres more. The maths test did not go well.
+++ If a student works a 37.5 hour week over 5 days, how many hours a day do they work?
opinion ranged from 6 to 11.5 hours.

This does not bode well.

we were reminiscing today and regaling the new FTA AA Chris with stories about you, namely the unfortunate dwarf who happened to ask you the time when you were out xmas shopping, and tales of your piercings. And how you had completed Pats education of women (in a purely verbal way - in case your reading this Paul...)

Pat thinks his education is complete?!? YOU thinks its complete? Ah young Grasshoppa, you have much to learn.

I have been instructed to remove "visible" piercings for placements. :0( I criez.

Oh and he didn't ask me the time, he was just talking to his pal. I heard the voice, turned around, looked down and ran

OK, on behalf of my colleagues (and this time I'm staying anonymous...) we don't know what "referncing" is, or how that relates to a diet. Whilst obviously this makes us as thick as student nurses, we thought we'd at least point that out....explanation please!

referencing: During the course of writing an essay, report or other assignment it is usual to support arguments by reference to other published work. These references may be from work presented in journal or newspaper articles, government reports, books or specific chapters of books, research dissertations or theses, material from the Internet etc.

Basically we have to say where we are saying "But I saw an article that said..."

diet in an academic sense: Basically it just the "regimen" or the timetable. 1st diet is 1st attempt, 2nd diet is 2nd attempt etc.
