1. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

   DoneMostAll replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   I too apologize if I took the meaning out if context. This is also a subject I'm very passionate about. I absolutely love nursing, even when it rears its ugliness and I've always wanted to end my career teaching. I don't think there is an easy answer...

2. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

   DoneMostAll replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   IIg, I completely understand where you are coming from and I do agree with what you are saying. I've often wondered why a school would out themselves in that position - hiring an instructor without a knowledge and skills base. I've worked hard to get...

3. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

   DoneMostAll replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   JKLL, when I went to nursing school, many, many moons ago and in a different part of the US, all the students went to one, maybe two on rare instances, unit. Our instructor was right there. Or at least, that's how I remember it. We also did more clin...

4. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

   DoneMostAll replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   JKL, actually I wish I could. I say this, not with sarcasm either but because I've been fighting it for two years. I have even called my BoN, as well as BoN in three surrounding states, along with about 10 schools that do their clinical the same way....

5. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

   DoneMostAll replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   Well, you obviously haven't either been following my comments, or had difficulty understanding. Not once did I say it should be the sole responsibility of a staff nurse. Not once did I say a preceptor could not refuse a student, you're correct it hap...

   DoneMostAll replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   Rionoir, when I was in school, my instructor stayed with the students and did like you described. However, the school I am teaching at now has the instructors on-site, but the students are with a staff nurse. I make rounds every hour or two, help the...

7. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

   DoneMostAll replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   Scorio, the bottom line is you seem to have a good attitude about the whole situation. Yes there could be some adjustments made on your part, as well as adjustments made on your preceptor's part. However, as it has been stated, nursing is unfortunate...

8. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

   DoneMostAll replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   When I was in nursing school way back when, it was the same way. All the students were on the same unit under the direction of our instructor. From my understanding, it is under the discretion of the State board of nursing as to how clinicals are don...

9. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

   DoneMostAll replied to guest723's topic in General Students

   MotoMonkey, I completely agree. Some facilities do not have an actual preceptorship program and just assign students to nurses without ever telling them first. I've often run into nurses that are not looking forward to working with students, merely f...

10. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    DoneMostAll replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    I've read the original post and all the comments and I can see both sides. First, if the interactions went verbatim, then the instructor needs to go to preceptors and see if there is an underlying factor. As an instructor, I've noticed nurses will pu...
