Med Surg clinical instructor OMG!

Published

First clinical this am and we are all scared and jaws dropping because First thing this instructor said was "Don't EVER call me! If you have questions or need help with care plans ask your classmates". She let us know that our clinical day is her day off (she is the med surg unit supervisor at the hospital we are doing clinicals at). She told us that if we ask her a stupid question during clinicals she will either not answer us, or tell us it was a stupid question she doesn't have time for. I am soooo not looking forward to working with this woman for the next 16 wks!:trout:

So how is your semester starting?

ok so first im jealous that your instructor won't answer stupid questions because all of mine will (and when i mean stupid questions these are questions like "do nicotine patches contain nicotine?")

just ask the other nurses if you have any questions and leave her alone for her "day off"

it may be unprofessional but at least you won't have someone breathing down your shoulder with everything you do
