heh.. i need a girlfriend apparently.

Published

My GI/GU instructor i had last summer was incredibly tough on me...but i passed.... Then I saw here a couple weeks ago, and she said that I needed a girlfriend! And everytime I see her she brings it up again.. I mean, I've been told that many times by my friends and others, but never by any of my teachers! she didn't say it jokingly either.. so i guess i have to keep my eyes open for some lady prospects, and also..out of 51ish students there's probably 1 girl in my class that i might have a crush on, but nonetheless... i don't see anything happening between us, because i tend to be reserved and vigilant... maybe that's why my instructor told me i needed a girlfriend. bleh.

Cool,

I am astounded that a nursing instructor would say something so blatently unprofessional - and verging on sexual harrassment. Your personal life (or lack of one in this case?) is no business of hers. Men in nursing school have enough of a challenge without this type of nonsense.

Don't take that kind of C**P from anyone. Gender bias has no place in education -- or in nursing.

It's not your CI's business who or even if you date. If you want you can report it, but unfortunately the TPTB would probably just tell you to forget it, that she was "kidding" with you.

Mind you, had you been female and the CI male, they'd probably hang him out for it so fast his head would spin...:(

lol, its funny cause my clinical instructor saids the same thing to me, that I need to socialize more and get a man..OK, I think u should want one first and I really don't want to be tied down right now..what the big problems about being single..atleast ur a guy, I mean nursing school is like 98% female, out of 115 their are probably like 10 guys and I can only see myself liking one, so i have to look elsewhere...

What's up with these instructors telling students to get a man/woman?

They need to mind their own business, and stick to teaching.

I think sometimes you can read too much into comments. There are advantages to being in a relationship. Overall, I have bad memories of my first year or nursing school but my second year was one of the best in my life. The second year I was in a good relationship. I was never lonely, had a good support person who gave me a lot of confidence and had someone to have fun with.

The key is to maintain a healthy relationship. The other person has to understand your time commitments (and they can't be mentally unstable).

I think we are all rather basic creatures with needs (emotional and physical) that can only be met by another human.

Did you have food stains on your scrub top? If so, that's probably why she told you that.
