My clinical instructor threw me out of clinical!

Published

:cry:

I was taking care of a patient who had liquid diarrhea. I was not able to get to my med pass because of this. The patient's family was complaining about everything. I was getting no feedback from my instructor until she decided to make me go home. When I asked her what I did wrong, she said, "What didn't you do wrong?" I still dont' understand why she made me leave. What do you all think I should do given the situation?

All advice is very much appreciated. Thanks.

I know exactly how you feel. Time management can be very frustrating at times, and I'm often told this is something I need to work on. If I catch myself slipping behind schedule I try to focus on what I think is most important. My CI intimidates me at times it's almost worse to tell her if I'm getting behind because then she'll waste another 10 min. lecturing me on what I should have done instead. I don't understand why she would send you home though. If it's an area you need improvement in shouldn't she let you get that experience??
