Clinicals

So the last two weeks of clinicals my instructor failed me but is still allowing me to go for the last week. She did say she will fail me anyways if I show up or not. She thinks im unsafe but all my patients were safe she just dislikes my assessments and the fact that I asked her to refresh my memory on a medical term. She even lied about me to the program manager and to my theory instructor. I know its not worth it to show up the last week but hey if im allowed why the hell not.. right. I wont roll over like a dead dog just because she has subjective problems with me. What would you do in this situation. Am I wasting my time or not?

Plus what is it with clinical instructors comparining me to other students and saying their all better than me? Ive had two like that. What if im under section 504? Is this discrimination?

I wouldn't say it's discrimination, but it is highly unprofessional and inappropriate behavior for a clinical instructor. Was this said in person or via email? Print any emails as evidence for your case. Make sure you use factual, word for word examples from the conversation!

Yup! :-) true.. learned something in nursing school. Said in person.. I do have evales from last semester and I may be able to find something there. That one said I may do poor in this one and I dont remember her saying it.. she said its in the evaluation. And she said this in front of program manager. Program manager was so nice to me.. she gave me her card and told me to email or call her anytime.. I think she saw right through the bs

I believe there is no need to be upset about this. She hasnt benefited from failing me. No one has. Theres a reason why this happened and I wont give up my dream.. this happened because as soon as I get where im going in going to be there to encourage others going through the same crap to not give up and they can also do it. Now with this happening I can get not one degree but three in two more years. Now I have time to study the material before attending the last part and reviewing everything I learned without feeling limited.. so I am seeing this as a blessing in disguise. Keep your head up everyone.. these clinical instructors are not God!
