What do you mean? Are you asking if a student has ever dated their clinical instructor?

I've had some that were strictly teachers and others that I have a great fondness for an I consider amazing mentors. Is that what you're asking? No, you can't date/sleep with them.

A guy in my clinical lab class is dating the instructor's daughter. The daughter is not in the nursing program.

IMHO totally inappropriate. Seen many professors make the news over relationships w/ students lucky none to my knowledge are in the Nursing profession.

hahahhaha I didn't even think of what the op was writing as talking about that kind of relationship. I was thinking about just like what the relationship between the two is like. I guess I didn't think of it the other way because 1st ewwwww 2nd wow 3rd unprofessional, inappropriate on a lot of levels and something Ive never heard of....

The kind of relationship I try to have my clinical instructors is one of a collegial nature. I would personally not dream of having a romantic type relationship with any instructor of mine. Anything of that nature would have to wait until we are, quite literally, peers. Anything otherwise would be something that would be considered quite unethical.

That is my take on this particular subject.

My clinical instructor is not liked by many people because she's infection control & people are constantly being caught doing stuff they shouldn't be doing. Personally, I love her. I went in with a light attitude & poked fun at her a little & was sure to tell her I was only kidding. I suppose it could have gone the wrong way but my guess is that she's not used to students being so friendly & some of my clinical buddies tease me saying I'm a brown noser. lol It's okay, though. I really do like my clinical instructor & like the tax man, she just has a job that some people love to hate. I don't take it so personally. I'm very glad to have her & wish I could keep her for every rotation.
