I have a problem and first hello to everyone ... I am beginning my second semester of LPN school and ending the first .. It has been very stressful ..
We have a great clinical instructor but we have had a awful experience with our teacher in Nursing Fundamentals . I ask a lot of questions and of course would like answers .. After the first month of asking questions that the instructor could not answer in math , I got a tutor but yet during class I still asked questions and the teacher did not know how to answer the question
The whole class talks about her behind her back , how she grades , how she is ineffienct and doesnt know what she is teaching and her subjective grading
Finally this teacher went to our nursing director and stated several untruths about me .. I had to go to a meeting and I signed a disiplinary action because I felt I had no other choice
I was practically hysterical in tears during the meeting .. I have recorded lectures .. Today we were told we could have no more recorders in her lectures . I had felt fairly safe having it on recordings so in case of something I could show the truth of all things stated.
Bascially I feel this teacher wants me out of the program and I think it would be very easy for her to do .. I am finding a lot of backstabbing in this profession
IS THIS NORMAL ?
Bascially several students went in to the nursing director to speak to her about this teacher .. But the teacher feels I have led now an organization to complain about her which is not true .. They have thier own statements and issues with her which they are slowly being brave enough to voice to the director .
Of couse I am told not to talk about the situation, but my classmates are concerned .. WE are told not to talk to each other about our interactions with the administration to other students and we are told not to discuss grades with each other or any other information with each other . but we practically live together five days a week Is this NORMAL .. I do value this place ..
Venting is good .. however i am concerned that a teacher could lie and I could be out of nursing school I have worked so hard for . she is a new teacher .. Is my worry for naught ??? Thank you so much
