Hi---Can I get some opions on this situation--I was wrote up yesterday at school because at clinicals I went in to do A accu check on a pt. at 1600 hrs. She was to receive her med at 1630, the accu check was done and her levels were high, I looked at her chart and knew this level was not right for this pt. I then when to the RN in charge of this pt. and told her the levels were high,she asked me to do them over so in the process of doing them my (nasty) instructor came in grabed the accu check out of my hands and did it her self, the next day she calls me in her office and tells me to sign a paper that put me on corrective action for what could of been--she screamed to me do you know that you could of bottomed her out and my statement was that is why I did another accu check to make sure of the situation,the pt. was not harmed in any way ,( :cry: no meds were given)but I was put on corrective action for what could of been....I was so up set :cry:that Iam ready to call it quits and I have 41 days left to graduate...Is there any decent instructors out there or do we have all the nasty one at our school....:rolleyes:

What exactly does your write-up say that you did wrong?

I feel like something's missing.

excatley how I put it --nothing is missing got wrote up for what could of happened

you didnt sign, did you?

Seems to me that the instructor needed a someone to take the brunt of her terrible mood.

I only stated on the write up paper that the team leader was with me (which she was) and I didn't do anything wrong

do you have a counselor/advisor that you could talk to?

oHHHHH, me too! I got written up for several things the instructor said I did which were not safe. (if they were unsafe, why didn't she stop me when I was doing it?) I am on contract now and have 2 mos (May 15) left to go, third semester. Also written up for being late to post-conference because she had to go over my charting. I think like the others said, there is some piece missing, but still she had no right to talk to you like that. Don't you feel now that you are under a microscope for the rest of the semester? I sure do. I wish you the best

I guess I'm not understanding the post....... You took a bs which results you didn't trust. You reported the results and was told to retake it. You start to retake it and your instructor flies in and grabs it from you to do it herself? Up until the part where your instructor loses it, it sounds exactly right to me. I guess next time you should just redo it without reporting it first.

Sounds like a great instructor from hell! I would need to meet with her and another instructor to find out exactly how she would want me to handle that next time and put it in writing.

Did you have insulin drawn up that she thought you were going to give?
