Drill Sargent Clinical Instructor

[NoeIssa]

Hello all, Im about to enter my Acute Care MedSurg III Clinicals in about 5 weeks and I just found out that my clinical instructor is a teacher who is like a drill sargent. Everyone has been trying to avoid her including me, but I have no other choice. Im stuck with the drill sargent. I heard that she has failed some students(failed clinical) but Im not sure if this is true. Any tips on how to deal with this type of clinical teacher? Im scared that she is going to ask me something that Im not sure of and say, "Your not going to pass this clinical if you don't get it together." Im scared, anyone else go through this, how do I do my very best during my ICU clinical? Thanks

I do not mind a drill sargent clinical instructor, as long as she is respectful and know that I am still learning as a student. Some of these nursing student need a drill sargent to push them to take this profession seriously. There are many students who cannot make a proper careplan because they chose to be in a clinical class where the teacher is complacent. These students are downright lazy and they expect to gain good grades. Another thing, they tend to want other students to help them with their projects at all times. I am sick of the academic moochers!
