Nursing Student Issues

[WanderLust07]

Hello to all you wonderful nurses! I'm seeking some advice on how to deal with my nursing student. She is in a pre-grad placement with me for 12 weeks before she graduates. In the instructions from her school instructor, it states that there is to be absolutely no napping on breaks and to arrive on time every shift. My issue is...she's great with patient care and the patients like her, she does meds competently and assessments...BUT...we are working 3 - 12 hour shifts this weekend and Friday night was ok. On Saturday night, she slept in our lunch room for 2 hours, got up so a nurse could go in and nap and then slept at the nursing station for 1.5 hours. Tonight (Sunday night) she came in late, which I didn't know of until 6:15 pm (start at 7) because she went to a wedding at 1pm and was late from being there. THEN, I had a nap for 1.5 hours and got up, she then went to sleep from 4-currently sleeping (it's 6) and we finish at 7. What should I do! We as nurses at my hospital are allowed to take nap breaks as long as there is enough registered staff coverage. However, clearly outlined from her professor is no naps! I'm upset about her lack of accountability for taking this seriously. And she probably expects me to still sign her complete hours (which I plan on not doing) please help!! What should I do?? How should I approach her about these issues? I'm a very nice person and I hate confrontation... Thanks in advance xo

Sorry but if you can't be a role model then give the job to someone who can.
