| |  Some of these students, jeez...
I'm sure many of you know the type of person I am getting ready to describe. Today in clinical, this guy, who we will call Francy, had a patient today that wanted some Pepsi. Well, the unit was out of Pepsi, so Francy went up to the clinical instructor and said "My patient really wants some Pepsi, and we are out! What should I do?" and the instructor, completely suprised and irritated at the same time replied "Get her something else...." Anyways, this guy had the audacity to leave the hospital, go to the gas station and get some Pepsi for the patient. I mean, seriously?! Why are some of these people complete tools? This is the type of person that would be at an intersection, press the button to cross the road which would light up to tell him not to walk, stand there waiting even though there is absolutely NO traffic and wait for the little light to say cross. This stuff aggitates me to no end... Ok, vent over.

If he left the floor (not to mention, the hospital) without telling his instructor (can't imagine the instructor would have approved), he committed one of the cardinal sins of clinicals. You NEVER leave the area without communicating with your instructor. EVER.

I wait for the walk sign, I don't think I have ever been at a cross walk with no traffic though. LOL
Talk about going above and beyond LOL

Yes -- in the programs I've taught in, a student would flunk the rotation (and, therefore, get kicked out of the program) for that.

I don't know, but seeing as how much of a tool he is, I would assume YES. He would never break the rules regardless how dumb they are (i.e. the cross walk reference). The subject is not about leaving the hospital without notifying the instructor, its the behavior of the student. Oh, and leaving the hospital? This happens all the time if you were unaware of it...
