I have not written much on these boards but i love reading them so i thought i would post what happened to me today in hopes that it would make me feel better. my peds clinical instructor is very hard to deal with, so that being said, i had a baby for my patient and she had to be fed every 3-4 hrs, so she was to be fed between 11:30 and 12, well my nurse had told me it would be fine for me to go eat my lunch real fast it was 11:10 and that she would check on my baby but the baby could be fed when i get back. when i got back 15min later my instructor was in the room feeding the baby, i walked in and she told me i was so busted because i went to lunch. she assumed that i had just walked off the floor without telling anybody and left the baby to cry (which is not true, i checked on her before i left and she was sound asleep, and my nurse said she would look in on the baby) well, my clinical instructor made this huge deal about how i wasn't there to feed the baby even though it wasn't time for the baby to be fed and the nurse told me she was fine. so my instructor actually wrote me up for that, i know there was a communication problem but she made me out to be this horrible person who abandons her patients which is completely not true. i know that i am beating myself up ( i have never had any problems at clinicals). i am the kind of person that cares too much so i keep worrying about this. i was hoping writing it on here would make me feel better. also this clinical instructor has had numerous problems. I know this was long thanks for letting me vent.
