our clinical instructor in medical surgical nursing is a very generous man. he became our instructor starting when we were in our 2nd semester of our third year. he was good in explaining in the simple way everything under med-surg nursing even the most complicated pathophysiology. actually he is one of my favorite instructor that is why i have the passion in this subject area. but the other side of him makes the student nervous. he came from another good nursing school here in our town before he was hired in our school. actually we were his first handled class when he transfered. what we heard about him from his previous students in the other school is that he is very strict in grades in which when you failed, you really failed and you have to repeat the subject itself. upon hearing that news, we strived very hard in his subject. we read a lot from our book and attentively listened to his lecture even sometimes we feel sleepy due to being so tired. when the 2nd semester ended, he posted at the office the students who have passed the subject and luckily i am one of those. the other students were given the second chance to take again another exam and will see if they will really pass. students who got 78 was given another chance while the others are not. the passing grade in our school is 80. some of the retakers passed and some did not so they do not have the choice but to repeat the subject again. on our summer class, he was again choosen to be our instructor in psychiatric nursing. again he is good but there was a slight problem since we have to take up psychiatric nursing in a fast pace in preparation for our affiliation. after the summer class others have failed again and others were given again the chance to take a revalida. on our first semester for our 4th year, we have to have another specal class to him since we are not yet finshed with med-surg. at the end of the semester. some failed even my friend. they were given the chance to take the revalida and all of them "passed." i was really surprised that the students who have taken the revalida are still the students who are keep on failing every semester. they are just lucky to pass in every revalida. because of a good source which is my friend, she told me that on that last revalida she really passed while the other students did not. and because of that my instructor felt pity on those students and gave them the chance to pass. he just adjusted the grade. now we are candidates for graduation and we still have are special class on him. he is now having a hard time to some of my classmates who are not attending the class. and those who are not attending are those students who he has given the consideration. i was so sad for my intstructor because after all he have done, this is what he gets from those students........... what do you think and what would you feel on this?
