Just wondering, I am in a clinical group for the summer for clinical 3 days. There is a clique of girls in this clinical group. I went into the break room at the end of clinical and one of them was hitting my bag. My bag is a trendy bag which a lot of ppl carry. When I saw the girl hitting it I picked up the bag and said "That's mine" then sat at the table. The girl said "Oh I thought it was Kate's" (Kate is her friend who is in the click and has a bag similar to mine, since it is a trendy bag. Kate was standing there however.
I am worried about the safety of my personal possessions at this time since I have clinical with this group 3 days a week (its only the third week of school). Should
I let this slide or bring it up to the course coordinator? I am graduating next semester and don't want to make any waves. But, there is palpable tension between me and this group, so I don't want to let it go then have it blow up.

My new bag is a freebie from sephora... My clinical shoes were $25... I don't care what others wear to clinical so long as they don't start hitting my stuff how insane...
And I really couldn't care less what you spent on your gear.
Is this nursing school now? If she keeps acting this way she will have a very rude awakening if/when she gets hired.
This wasn't my experience, and I just graduated. There were cliques, and people that weren't big fans of one another, but we all behaved as professionals, especially in clinicals.

That's what I expect. Not everyone will like everyone but what it comes down to is how you interact with the people you don't like. If you can't get along with other people, maybe it's time to go back to pre-k/kindergarten.

Exactly. Same goes for any work environment. I don't think any of us can say we've worked somewhere where we love and adore everyone, but it's part of our job as professionals to at least be civil and avoid drama in the workplace. Clinicals (and class) should be treated as such.
Stupid for saying that to the instructor. It made her look very unprofessional. Also stupid cause she was like a two year old with no sense of shame since she seemed proud after saying it... Stupid also cause she failed a class and is only still in the program cause you're allowed to fail 1 class and make it up. Finally stupid cause she didn't even make it to clinical the next day (maybe she stayed home to avoid me lol). Also stupid since this girl isn't even part of the clique, they don't hang out with her outside of school. The clique and I had beef before for legitimate issues, like i said this girl was basically "left back" and i only met her 2 wks prior and she was 100% following three bar skanks who are obnoxious enough to smoke cigarettes outside of a health science school lol lol lol
plus this girl is over 30 so really should know better, also told the group before clinical her mother was "a *****" which I found quite distasteful... No wonder the clique doesn't invite her on their man hunting outings
If you really can't see how ridiculously immature this post sounds, then you are beyond our help at this point.
Stop calling people stupid, even if you believe they are, and they will probably not have as much of a problem with you.
Why are you so concerned with what this 'clique' is doing and who is in it or out of it? I thought you wanted to focus on your studies.
I find your attitude quite distasteful and I probably wouldn't want to work with you right now either, to be honest. Try keeping your nose in the books and out of the drama and I'm sure life will be mich easier.

This is one of the most ridiculous and immature things I have seen. I thought this was nursery school instead of nursing school. I think you are acting childlike and unprofessional. You have a lot of growing up to do before you get a real nursing job. Like I always tell my staff " you don't have to like each other but you have to work together, if you don't like it then transfer." I would seriously do some self reflection and see how you can act better.

Stupid? Skanks? Unprofessional? Really??
I think you need to step back from the situation. I think you need to not take yourself to their level by calling names and petty gossip.
Rise above and be the better human. Become the adult of the group.
