HI
I am just starting a RN diploma program. I am 42 and work at a LTC on the weekends as an aide.
In my class is a 28 yr old woman that is a nanny, she does not like it when experienced students ask questions she does not understand. For example I asked since we have one patient and we get our bed baths done what do we do with the other 7 hours. She gave me the dirtiest look. She said I am so worried about giving my first bed bath that I would like someone who does not have any experience like me to help me. She does not like the elderly and she does not want to wipe adults backsides. She also said that her first bed bath will take a couple hours. Yesterday at orientation for clinicals after she did her assignment she just stood there. I was reading charts and going on the computer so when clinicals start for real next week I know where to go and what it looks like.
What does she think? She makes me afraid to ask a little more advanced questions she is always making faces and whispering after I do ask a question.
Thanks for listening.
