I just finished my last clinical for my first year. We had 6 students in an ICU with high acquity and my instructor seemed overwhelmed at times. She made us (all of us) get her to double check everything before we did it from sq lovenox to charting to hanging antibiotics, which left us waiting for her and made us look late on things. It was so frustrating esp since we've been in clinicals all year and have done all of this over and over and over. I could understand watching us once to check us off --- but she can read our previous evaluations from other clinical instructors & see our compentancy level and this continued the entire time we were there. Plus we know when to seek out help and when we're comfortable with something.
I don't know if it was having so many students that made her overprotective or what.
Anyways, I'm frustrated ... bad clinical experience. But hey, I'm out of school on Friday and off to the beach!!
