How do you deal with student abuse from teachers in nursing school? Nurses are terrified to address this topic, some even to the point of absolute denial.
What do you suggest to do?
For the nurses who promote it, how do you justify it? I just want to know the truth is all, and to go from there.
What about not allowing a student to contact teachers for classes?Or lying to students about what classes to take?
The weirdest one I saw was where a teacher tried to stand in front of the class, in a sort of ugly attack since she thought being the teacher in front of a class held unquestionable power, tell the students that it wasn't true they were being taken advantaged of, and said that we should never talk about it because just because everyone says it it doesn't mean that it is true.
I'm still not clear what you're talking about in these examples.
Then, seeing that in a class of 24, even the students that want favor with any teacher wouldn't agree with her. She freaked out, turned on the air conditioner in a classroom where everyone was wearing a coat, and then proceeded to go through moods swings for the next four hours.I could write a book about it. It is a scandal.
It's not a scandal, it's menopause.
Failing clinicals. I got an f in collecting subjective data... pt was intubated didnt respond when asked about pain.. and objective data.. I did full head to toe even noticed blood preasure on wrong arm due to picc line. Asked her to tell me best way to assess pt she found all my questions as weaknesses. Had a meeting with program manager, course instructor and her. I didnt have a say. I just let her speak. Caught her in a huge lie. Documented it. I can get a grade dispute according to dean. This lady was supposed to instruct another group. I heard she left the school or something else happened. I believe shes trying to save her butt. But tbh I have no idea
The standing in front of the class was an intimidation act.......which failed. There was so much public humiliation at one hospital that a teacher was banned (even though her husband was one of the veteran doctors there). BUT, she went back later because the head of the department said "she is fine now, and we don't have any more clinical nurses left."

You guys are so lucky. Likely you worked hard through nursing school, maybe working jobs and having kids....and working hard and intelligent towards yours goals. Then you achieved them.
It is different when there is a whole network creatively finding ways to make students fail. They have so much power too.
