I am in third semester and am doing a peds rotation in a county hospital in LA. I have done clinic here before and none of the staff is too remarkably pleasant, but I have been able to get through it and have learned a lot in the process.
In this particular rotation, however, the staff is just downright hostile. The medroom, toyroom, and supply rooms are all locked and only staff has keys. The secretaries, CNAs, and all nurses but one are verbally hostile to us and some outright refuse to lend us keys or answer simple questions. Our instructor does nothing--they aren't that great to her either.
I know our school needs a good relationship with this hospital, however, it is at the point where the hostility gets in the way of providing proper patient care by delaying interventions. I have spoken to our instructor about this and she seems to turn the problem around on us. There is very little space and the floor is crowded with med students and nursing students. Funny thing is, the med students dont get treated like this at all.
Is there anything I can do to maybe make this better for the next round of students that have to rotate in peds at this hospital?
