I failed clinicals. Backround info.. first week f for subjective data. Pt was intubated.. no vocalization. Asked pt about pain no nods or shaking head. Wrote the word down didnt respond. How can she fail me for that?

I have avoident personality.. and I did get the ok to dispute the grade.. the thing is I beleive this woman is antisocial same with course instuctor. I feel that they both planned my failure. I had a meeting with both.. I didnt have a say. I just froze and agreed with it. She lied big time. I did end up documenting it. To dispute a grade I would have to talk to her or possibly other instructor.. problem is clinical I was supposed to have another group but the other group told me she left. Shes not at the school anymore. Of course trying to save her butt. Truth is I dont know what happened. I dont know if.my avoident personality can do anything anymore. I dread the thought of even going back to nursing school. So any advice with this will help greatly

I looked at it but did not lift the gown. I understand what you mean. Thank you for the help. We were also taught that way. Thinking clearly around someone who already failed you a week before is not so easy. Im a student.. I tryed my best but I was unable to meet up to her expectations. I will look back at my books and make sure I have my skills up to par. Past is over. Im going to work at it and get it right. I may also get an associates for science along the way.

Great attitude. Just keep working at it and asking questions. Don't skip things because you don't think they need to be done - if you were taught something, then do it exactly as you were taught because that is what they need to see. While it may seem like they are being too hard on you, your instructors want you learn and be successful. If they see that you are really making the effort, they will likely be willing to help you out more. Good luck to you!

Sometimes it does feel like an attack.. it is very hard to know the difference when all you see is a big fat fail. Trust me ive failed alot of times. So its not like I cant take the blow. Clinical setting is different. I finally grew up a bit and realised shortcuts will only shortcut you.. so I baught my F's to B's. Now I understand this clinical part a bit more. Greatful for your feedbacks thanks.

Oh well looks like she got the boot. Not everyone can teach:)

Dang girl a full head to toe! I must taste delicious.

Please tell me you really did not go here with this comment.

Disgusting.

Anyway- Reading through this thread, and your most current comment about your teachers fate with the school. (I am not convinced you actually know what happened to her.. just saying she got the boot because you are upset you failed and want to make it look like you did not do anything wrong)

You can assess pain level with a non-verbal patient. There are cues you can find, by facial expressions and body language. That kind of thing. Don't make excuses. At least you can retake your clinical, some schools will not let you if you fail. Stop being so rude and placing blame where it doesn't belong.

Time to take responsibility for your own actions. You are an adult and want to be a nurse. You cannot blame others for your mistakes. Own up or you will never make it in this field.

I get the feeling this person has many, many issues that related to failing.

Unfortunately I encountered 2 nursing instructors with sociopathic behaviors. One was my theory instructor and one was my clinical instructor also a CNO. Im a very shy passive person also consider myself an empath.

.................

I dated one for two years and he manipulated me into giving him all my savings and still till this day thinks he can leech. It finally clicked that there are people out there like that, 1 out of 25. Finally deleted all contacts with him and never replied to his BS.

Bs x 4 felt it.. soft no firmness. No tenderness. No pain on palpation it was rounded but not like fluid full like ussual esld ascites.. she wasnt bloated didnt know about rebound on lrq

How did you feel bowel sounds?

It was the first day. I was not allowed to write on the assessment without her and nurse did it anyways bc she had to. You know I am very sorry about this whole emotional crap I just put out here. I was blinded with anger and still trying to get over it. Not her fault I figuredthat out. I do not want to say anything any more. I know everyone goes through things and i really have no excuse. All i know is i got off the prozac and my outbursts are not suppressed. Apologies

No I didnt dat nursing instructor lol sorry missunderstanding. It was my ex bf im talking about sorry
