I have been in LPN school now for 8 months, and have developed a question. Do all LPN instructors (who are RN's) have an incredibly horrible condescending attitude? It appears that most act like they know everything, and are incredibly attentive to detail on things like AM/PM care and borderline CNA work; however, when I ask a question about the science behind an underlying medical diagnosis they are at a loss. No problem with not having every answer, but they then treat me like a pariah for several days after I ask these questions. I feel they are then even more critical of my basic skills (linens, bathing, etc).
I hope to teach in the future, and plan to a have a much more human approach.
I am enjoying the school, the patients, my classmates and the learning opportunities....just hate the attitude.
Thanks for letting me vent!
