Cannot stand director

[leo8686]

Hi all !

Im a new nursing student and a month in I'm finally getting the hang of things and beginning to feel a little more comfortable. There is an issue however.. I loathe the director of my nursing program. She's also a classroom instructor and I believe an occasional clinical instructor. Every conversation I've had with her resulted in her looking me up and down and giving me a dirty look. She makes me feel so incompetent. I've worked in healthcare for 10 years so I know all too well how nurses can be and just love to eat their young.. But this woman is different she is just nasty! Something as simple as asking where a bathroom is constitutes a roll of the eyes from her. Im quiet, poised, and a good student eager to learn. I've kept my mouth shut so far but I'm scared I won't won't be able to for the next few semesters. Did you guys have this experience? If so how did you handle it? Any advice? Another thing I've been dying to complain about is her over use of the word behoove. "It may behoove you to yada yada" sorry just ranting... :)

OP, I think that this is the first time somebody over the age of 10 has referred to me as "old." Miserable, eh, sometimes, I have chronic pain. Hag...let me check...nope, still no cauldrons or bats in my home office. Cat tangled up in a blanket, dog chewing on a pattern envelope, and a bonsai tree next to the window, yes.

Wait! You've only been a nursing student for one(1) month? You make some major assumptions and mean statements in your posts. You might want to do some self reflection. But, you haven't even given the director a chance. Why not see how things play out and come back on here at the end of the semester? You might yourself surprised. Good luck:uhoh3:
