<p>Perhaps my preservative is due to the type of student taught, the health care fields.&nbsp; They may be some what self centered but narcissistic is going to far.&nbsp; </p> <p>This group of students are truly dedicated to their chosen profession, not for the pay,(for surely MAs, CSTs, and LVNs do not make more than a median income)&nbsp; but have some old fashion notions that they can have a real impact on he;ping people.&nbsp; Most have a true desire to better the health care system, one patient at a time.</p> <p>Sometimes I feel they wish to be given all the information on a silver platter, but this I believe this is how the public school system has programed them.&nbsp; With a little work on the instructors part, this approach to their studies can and does change.&nbsp;</p> <p>They may look different that I did thirty plus years ago, tattoos, hair styles, even lifestyles have changed, Many for the better.&nbsp; I respect my students and their chooses, knowing they will contribute to the world and&nbsp; their professions.</p>
