Racism in the workplace
I have dealt with it during a clinical rotation. The instructor would make inappropriate comments about various ethnic groups although they were ailing patients.

Nursing School Heartbreak of losing fellow students
I just lost a fellow student who dropped Peds last week & it hurts. You just have to be successful in their honor!

Why Is Nursing School So Hard?
Being prepared for clinical(s), as well as the exam(s). The degree of info that you are expected to master. The fact that 1 test can make or break you! The fact that instructors can be your down fall if they don't like you & your savior if they do!!! Good luck!

Smelly Co-Worker
She may have an infection of a female nature, like Trichamoniasis or something. It may not be her armpits at all!

Is it legal/ethical for preceptor to sabotage student?
No way!!! Report her immediately to the liscensure board in your state! In Michigan that is grounds for dismissal,suspense of liscense, perhaps loss of liscense. On a step down unit, 2 nurses on 2 consecutive shifts did not have a pt connected to a heart monitor. When the 3rd shift nurse arrived & discovered a pt was not connected to telemetry for 16 hours...both were fired(regardless of seniority) & had to get lawyers because their liscense was being investigated.

What Q&A book is the best beside Saunders?
I agree that you should stick with one publisher, but I have more than one book written by Saunders to reinforce the learning!

Minority SRNA/CRNA's
You know I am experiencing similiar treatment right now! My OB instructor is Caucasian & from the South. She gives the white girls less complicated patients and expects even less of them and gave the B+(s) @ mid term. I got a C @ midterm and my careplans are well thought out, I provide good patient care and I am always going the extra mile to show my competency as a nurse. She said I am unorganized and do not prioritize my care. She also treats a Chinese girl in my clinical group the same way. Although I am usually an A or B student, I will have to take a C from this woman, pass the class and then go on about my business. What do you guys think?
