Abuse at school

mlahood, what type of abuse are you dealing with?

One that I dealt with is when the teacher decides not to show up to the final, because she is "busy."

I would categorize that one as neglect.

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

Yeah....I am guessing it is NOTHING like the Sandusky case. You should feel ashamed for even making that comparison.

I agree with VivaLaVespaGirl. That was a poor choice of comparison.

Yes, it was similar to failing in clinicals bogusly like that, that has happened a lot. But keep in mind, there is no one for students in our classes to go to.

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."

No there isnt its absoultely horrible. I wish there was someone to go to. But I feel so helpless with it anymore. These instructors have been getting away with this stuff for so long (decades back too)

I seriously wonder how these students that feel like every challenge at school is an abuse will handle 3 critical or 10 med surg patients in the real world.

I feel bad for you, that sucks. How is a person suppose to succeed if the teachers put in so much effort to see them fail?

I can't stand social injustice like that, it is sad to see people abuse such positions like "nurse" and "teacher"

Some have their head too far up their butt and lack understanding to understand that the only ones holding them back from being amazing people is themselves. I asked for feedback and I got some excellent advice. She didnt give me a chance to show it. For the last week she said I could go to clinicals but she would fail me anyways. She said I didnt focuz my assessment enough and that was a fail to her. Great advice but another poor excuse to fail
