Just curious as to what a student might do or not do to warrant being failed during a clinical rotation.
If a student comes to clinical prepared, on time and eager to learn what things are the instructors looking for to fail them on?
And why are colleges so hard on students who fail the clinical. Can a person retry doing the rotation? Why are they automatically kicked out? And what if a person is on their very last clinical and they are failed? Surely the college would allow them to repeat??
I would like to know what NOT to do so I pass all my clinicals. I asked my college and their answer was so vague.
For a student to fail clinical it is very subjective..Some instructors might let mistakes go because the student is there to learn..Some instrutors might favor some students and might not favor others..So it is on the call of the instructors to fail a student..It is a judgemental call and it might have a bias in it to fail a student..
I just thought of another person who got kicked out of nursing school for a clinical action. During a preconference on the psych floor, the students were told not to go into a certain room because a student was in there. Well, one of the students went right on in the room. :smackingf
We had clinical where some students got C's. And they were NOT happy. This time around, I intend to ask the clinical instructor exactly what "A-behavior" looks like, i.e. how do I get a superior rating in preparation, execution, etc. the five areas that we get rated in.
