Can this be right?

I'm 57 years old, it's 3 days until end of 3rd semester of nursing school, and a teacher calls me to his office and kicks me out of school...

because I am MENTALLY ILL ..

My IPR Nov 8-State Hospital PSYCHIATRIC MENTAL HEALTH clinical (yep you read right!) client was talking about 3 suicide attempts the past 3 months.....

I said, "Tell me about the last suicide attempt, if you don't mind."

Teacher SLAMMED his fist on the table and screamed, "Suicide isn't her problem! YOU'RE the one with the problem!" NOTHING I did was right he said and HE TALKED TO HER for 30 minutes or so, I was in shock TOTALLY..I'd never had trouble I've only seen him 6 clinical days my whole life and those days he was never in the same room to my knowledge except first 30 min and wrap up 30 ...IT WAS HORRIBLE!

I let it be cause ????? and today..he called me to come up the school..FAILED...he said! cause I'm MENTALLY ILL and a team of doctors can't fix me!

Today he did ADD ..after I signed some paper ..2nd paper in my student file - one for that IRC something Nov 9 ...and one today for something

.......................OR ALZHEIMERS!...............

and I am kicked out! now WHAT IN THE WORLD...

this can't be happening RIGHT?

I am really confused. If I were you, I would begin talking to a lawyer to figure out if you have any legal recourse.

I'm confused too. Actually maybe you're mad but your writing seems disjointed and muddled. Maybe you need to seek help with a mental health professional.

Eta - from looking at your previous posts this appears to be a new writing style/tone for you.

If this is truly the reason, then you need/must take this higher than him. Go to the dean, the course coordinator, etc and find out what the heck is going on.

I'm having trouble following the line of thought, but he cannot say that to you, there has to be a valid reason for failing someone

Your post is disjointed and hard to follow. It doesn't really make sense.Were you upset when you wrote this?

This is a bit confusing. The only other post I see from you was in 2007, and you were in LVN school at the time with a discrepancy in the hours missed to continue in the program and a different director removing you from a program. Now you mention that you are having a similar problem, failing without any prior warnings. You also mention that there are two papers in your file, one for this and one for something on November 9th.

We can't offer medical advice or legal advice here, and an instructor is not able to diagnose you as mentally ill unless he holds the needed credentials. Were those his actual words, or did he suggest counseling? As others have noted, your post is very disjointed, and while this could be due to intense stress, something is amiss. Two times through nursing school, and two dismissals out of the blue? It may be time to re-evaluate your performance and yourself to gain insight into why this might be occurring. Counseling can be a valuable guide in exploring this and in coping with stress.

I'm sorry, but I'm also having trouble following what you wrote. Maybe you could try explaining it again, so that you could get more advice. :)

From your user name is sounds similar to other user names who are fake and don't make any sense. So I'm going to assume this is not a real post.

I'm wondering how you aged 2 yrs in 3 months

This is from September 15th

AWESOME!

I'll have my BSN in 2 more semesters (hopefully!) and I'm now 55.

I feel SO MUCH BETTER just knowing somewhere someone else my age is doing or done this.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart!

This post is one of several by different posters about the outrageous personalities of their clinical instructors. I have never had a clinical instructor treat anyone anywhere near the way these students are reporting. Are there schools that treat their students like **** or are these stories exaggerated or made up?

How did the OP age 2 years since September? There is something fishy about this.
