I am in an ADN program and right now I'm on my Peds rotation. I was really looking forward to Peds and Maternity for the change from Med/Surg, but now my fellow students have decided ot act like this is Jr. High again. We had to team up two students to one patient this week, and I got left out of all the team work. My "partner" asked for help from the other teams rather than me. Many conversations stopped dead when I walked into a room. So many snide comments were made about what and how I did on the floor. I could go on but you all get the point!
Most of this, I know, originates from one fellow student who has always been ticked off that I get 'A's in classes, am confident, strong-willed, and have a happy marriage and life, etc. She gets everyone else going and I get excluded.
I know just to rise above the pettiness, but I have been so well excluded that I got "spoken to" by the instructor--who seems a bit naive-- about not working as a team.
I went home yesterday and cried! I was so excited about Peds and now I'm looking at having to do battle every time I go to clinicals!
Oh this is good news! I am so glad to hear that she is helping you out on this.
I am worried that this might be the situation that I will get into when I start school in January. I have always been a perfectionist and people tend to not like me. Not only that but it is hard for me to get to know people. I'm just not a 'clicky' person, and don't have time for the games. So I know what you mean.
I hope this clinical experience works out for you.
In nursing, don't get me wrong it is a great job (as an LPN anyway) but there are constant issues like this it seems....but the problems are NOT with the patients we care for ...IT IS THE OTHER NURSES!!!

That is certainly GOOD NEWS !!!
I'm glad she is working with you and understands the situation!
Unfortunately that student is only hurting herself by her actions.
Continued success Misty:)
