Re: Pulling Hair Advice (No really pulling hair)
This is shocking, it is simple assault, and highly unprofessional. The "instructor" should be removed from clinical teaching and either reprimanded (with a written apology) and/or fired. I would guess this is a pattern, which makes it far worse.
In no instance should an instructor touch a student in a manner such as this. Can you imagine the impact on the student? Her peers? The school and faculty??? It doesn't matter which school it is, this behavior is unacceptable at any level.
You must report it. It is the ethical thing to do, and take it to the Dean or Director with any witnesses. Be prepared to write and verbally explain what happened, but do it quickly before it wears thin.
Yes, there may be repercussions, but you still will get through it along with the other students. I'm sure the Dean/Director will ensure there are no "paybacks." Do not let that instructor ruin your school!!!
I love teaching, student nurses are precious souls and do NOT deserve to be treated as animals. I could not fathom any one doing this. Horrific.
). I know we all have those days and but really? I don’t know that she will say anything because of fear of repercussions. What do you think or any advice? Some background we are in the 2nd semester of our JR year in a 4 yr BSN program. This is the Med Surg rotation and the student is really easy going and I would guess rank in the upper 25% of our class.

Do not let anyone make you the scape goat for their failure as a human or a competent nurse. Instructors get paid to help students. You did not join a military. You went to get an education and you are being barred from your rights.
