I am in an RN-BSN program and am having difficulties with an instructor. My instructor makes rude comments to me and talks about me to other students when I am out of the room. I overheard her telling the other students that I do not know what I...

londonflo, I posted this message for advice about what to do about my instructor, granted I may not have worded the original question correctly. My school’s name, whether I have clinicals (which I do), and my past questions are not relevant to t...

londonflo, I appreciate your offer and your time, but my situation is beyond help. I just don’t feel comfortable saying the name of my school, in fear of retaliation if my instructors find out about my post; as I am sure that some of them use th...

Seeing as how the semester is almost over, I plan to start over in a new, typical program. I appreciate everyone’s perspectives and thoughtful replies.

The students are separated into groups and each assigned to an instructor. I have 5 students in my group and she takes turns with each of us in the clinic. From reading your posts and a few of the others, my program is unusual.

londonflo, I am from a small US town and got my degree from the US. Here, it is normal to complete a couple of clinicals for an RN-BSN program. The instructor goes with us. The program only has 2 clinical courses and the rest of the program can be ...

londonflo I don’t want to reveal my school, but here is an example of one of the classes that I have clinicals for. -Community Health Nursing Clinical Practicum

londonflo, Yes, I have an RN license. I could not do the RN-BSN program otherwise.

londonflo, “You're not even close to qualifying for a BSN ,. You may have a license, but I gotta understand your internal learning for thatlicense. Do you really have a clue?” I respect your opinion, but am curious as to your reason for ...

londonflo, All students have to complete clinicals in the RN-BSN program for a couple of classes. I have an ADN from another school and am in the RN-BSN completing the required clinicals. I am not sure why this policy was made. I know that the c...

I am not retaking clinicals. The school’s policy is that all RN-BSN students must complete a semester of clinicals. At my school, students complete clinicals for 2 class and that is all. They don’t care that students already have an ADN.

Honyebee, Yes, I am aware. I posted that in response to others’ posts about why I would have clinicals in an RN-BSN program.

Also, I am not the only person that she does these types of things to and this is not even half of what she does. The nursing department at my school was unable to return to our former clinical site because my instructor tried to reprimand several nu...

londonflo “Based on the MAR, how do I know if a medication is an IV push. Most of the time, the MARs at my facility doesn't actually say "IV Push" next to a medication.” Also, I asked the above question in the past because I wanted someon...

I am in an RN-BSN program, and not a BSN program. I have an ADN and my RN-BSN program does require clinicals.

londonflo My instructor claims that I am being “unsafe” because I am not providing her with answers to certain questions, but the questions she asks are ridiculous and don’t even pertain to that particular patient. When I would ask the nurse on ...

JKL33 I live in a small town, so the local lawyer’s here are likely the family members of some of the instructors.

oldie, Based on the comments that she has made about others, she seems to target anyone who she thinks is weak or unpopular.

londonflo, I am only allowed to fail one class, and right know my score is a “17” out of 500 points, so I will fail. On most clinical days I am getting grades of like 1 or 2 points out of 50, which is ridiculous. I ended up reporting her to adminis...

Based on the MAR, how do I know if a medication is an IV push. Most of the time, the MARs at my facility doesn't actually say "IV Push" next to a medication.

MunoRN It said IV, but not whether it was IV push.

Susie2310 There was no order referring to how the medication was to be administered.

LeChien I believe the name of it is SSO Paragon.

CalicoKitty The only volume that I see is when it says to reconstitute the 40 mg dose with 1 vial of 10 mL NS. chare Another nurse at the facility told me this information. All she would tell me is that she has given all these ...

For IV’s it usually says infusion, but it doesn’t specify whether IV or IV push. For example, Pantoprazole Injectible, 40 intravenous once BID. I was told that this was an IV push, but the drug book says that it can be given as either an IV, IV pu...
