how to build a bond between students and Nursing tutor

Published

i've just started my semester 4 and every semester it will be different tutor in charge of my semester. for the past 2 semester, my tutor-in-charge is young and understand what we wants. she is open minded that she accept for who we are. however this time, this tutor in charge is older and her thinking is narrower. we could not understand what she wants and she would not want to understand us. she wants everything to be her way. someone from my semester do not want to admit her mistake and the whole class is involved. it's really irritating because i really want to have a peaceful semester as its not an easy one though. its more on obstretic and gynaecology. i need comments. thank you.

The OP is in Malaysia however in the UK a tutor would be the university nurse teacher who would also visit you in the clinical setting. Well my experience when I was a student was the tutor teaching us on a particular topic ie Paeds would also visit us on the ward once or twice and observe us working and discuss any questions we may have. We would however be teamed up with a staff member on the ward as either a mentor or preceptor and generally work with them and they would sign off certain requirements which would depend on year and level you where. Once I qualified things became more university orientated but students when on ward allocation did team up with a mentor who had to be qualified in teaching and accessing and willing to assist students.

Thanks! So not exactly like a clinical instructor as our instructor comes to the hospital with us. We can do skills with the RN who our patient is assigned to as well, but our instructor is always on the floor.

This all changes in our Sr. preceptorship of course, but is the way it works for standard clinicals.
