He just made it sound like they had complained about it. This as I know is typical in this type environment, since its very slow paced and not education based. I think he was upset because its his clinical site and they were complaining. Yes that also could be, I was just using all resources, since we only had 2 days to complete it. I had already completed the assessment while he watched me do it. I also looked in the charts and computer records. I just thought I would ask to see if I missed something.

He is a loose cannon, and I never know when it might blow. I am honestly terrified to go to back to clinicals. He made me cry the very first day along with another student. I really want to finish up my clinical but it will be at some cost to my mental health for sure. I don't know how these people get to be instructors. I will try but it will be very very difficult.

I've been taking classes toward an RN degree and started my first semester of Nursing school. I am in my clinicals at a long term care facility where we were each assigned a patient. Our job was to create a care plan for them. In order to aquire more information about mine, I asked the nurse on staff that cares for her some questions. Apparently she told my instructor I had asked questions and he blew up at me after class. I am guessing she was annoyed by the questions. My instuctor is now very upset with me, as I could tell he would no longer make eye contact with me, verbally began saying I don't know anything, and now failed my care plan. I noticed today that my classmates were discussing how he left them many notes but had not taken off points. I am already under a lot of stress with a full courseload, and also work outside of school. My instructor has been very difficult to approach and responds to questions with questions. I feel as though I am now being subject to his emotions. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Was I wrong to ask the nurse? I was not advised not to talk to anyone. (Another student had missed some work and was going to be sent home and mentioned too he would not look at her, so this is a behavior trend when he is upset). I fear telling anyone will cause for problems but also very upset over this. I am an A-B student and do not beleive this is an issue of my not doing the work or knowing how to do it. I now face failing my very first clinical and not sure what that would mean going forward if I wanted to switch schools or how it might affect my standing.

In terms of a complicated past and going into Nursing... I have a niece that has come to me with an issue and would like to go to Nursing school but is not sure she can.. In high school her reputation was badly damaged as someone who sleeps around. Her parents made her wait at the bus stop and take the bus and kids spread a wrongful rumor that she was a prostitute. She has tried to follow a career in business but has had a ton of sexual harassment in the workplace that has followed her no matter where she works. She has tried to get help from employers she worked at but it is hard for them to identify the behaviors and they are often subtle and hard to prove. Do you think she can pursue a career in nursing if the business career did not work out for the reasons it did? Once others find out where she is working and what she is doing she is afraid she will be outcast as before. All I can think of is maybe she can do home care where she is then somewhat isolated from gossip in the workplace. Any thoughts?
