I haven't posted in ages, but I am freaking out right now and need a place to obsess/get this off my chest.
I am in the last 3 weeks of my ADN program. We are currently doing a clinical rotation where we have a preceptor and work 4 shifts with that person. Suffice it to say that I totally misunderstood what my instructor said about setting this stuff up/having to reschedule, thought I had several days off and decided to make a 2 day trip out of town (only about 250 miles away). Very, very dumb thing to do, I know. I am going through the equivalent of a divorce (split up with S/O of 6 years and am living between two houses..major stress). My mom and I just decided to run away for a couple of days.
No whining here though..I totally accept that this was an idiotic thing to do. We got snowed in and I ended up having to reschedule (with about 24 hours advance notice). To the instructor, this totally looks like I manipulated her to take this trip. We really did decide on the spur of the moment, AFTER the first day was scheduled. I know this is all confusing..but the bottom line is I look like I'm trying to pull a fast one and I am truly not at all. The instructor is majorly pizzed, is taking it to the staff meeting today, and I am not sure what they will do with me. I asked her point blank "will they kick me out?" and her response was "I don't know." This last rotation is one where they stress that you cannot miss any clinical time.
I have the required hours set up and ready to go and have already done half of them..but at this point our school is freaking out because so many people are in danger of not passing..I'm half afraid they will ask me to drop.
I am SO stressed This is it for me..I am maxed out on the number of hours I can take for financial aid purposes. If I am out, I might as well go back to waitressing. This last semester has been a living hell.
I know that no one here can really offer any advice or anything, not knowing my program/instructors, but any and all prayers/get through this vibes would be much appreciated.
