Okay. I have a few questions that I feel are worthy of answers. 1. Why as an instructor would you walk away from a student who just asked you a question? 2. When a student asks for help, why would you cop an attitude and make them feel 6 inches tall? 3. Why, as an instructor, would you want to snap your fingers, rush, demean your student who is performing a task for only the second time and make them feel like their whole day was for naught? 4. Why would I want to ask you questions and learn from you, when clearly, all you can think about is the precious time table you have set for yourself and all of us? 5. Just who do I have to talk to to make my very, very, very upset self most clear that THIS IS NOT A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT that has been going on, on Fundies II clinical day?
Yes, we are all adults, yes we are students and should come prepared, but when you have not worked with Lab results, medications or physical assessments and you have questions, why would you be so incredibly rude &/or unwilling to take a minute to LISTEN and help me learn to be the best nurse that I can be? Isn't that your job?
If I were a quitting person, today would most definately be my LAST day of nursing school, however, I refuse to let someone, get in the way of my goal and my goal is to be a Nurse. I have studied hard, prepared for all my classes for what? To be given an unsuccessful? To be graded as a Fail?No way, Jay!!! I have and am doing my part, it is YOUR part that is lacking!!! If I do not pass this clinical month, I will be one of many very UNHAPPY nursing students!
On a happier note! I really enjoyed my patient. I really made a difference in her life today. That is what nursing is all about. I made her feel like the most important resident at that nursing home today, and you know what? She was! She was my most important resident. All in all, I would say, I had a very successful day, wouldn't you?
One more day to go! I will continue to pray for guidance, understanding and the ability to KEEP my somewhat hot temper and my BIG mouth quiet!!! My momma always said, "If you can't something nice about someone, say NOTHING at all"!!!
A toast to tomorrows quiz and fun lab day!!! Ahhhhhhh, something to look forward to!
