So I am an RN. I am writing on behalf of a nursing student I spoke to. She had to repeat her mother baby semester because she recapped a needle during lab. She explained it was muscle memory , she knew better but because that is how they practiced it because they only reused on needle sheessed up during the actual thing. She retook the class and this time around in lab she calculated and administered an IV med to a child she got it all right but the instructor asked her at what rate would she flush the med and she replied " at the same rate as the medication" . She was failed for that even though she had proof that was on the handout given to her by her class instructor. She got an 88 in the class but was kicked out because of failing the lab and because it was her second time not passing the class due to lab.
To me this seems unfair and without discretion. What actions could she take ? If any?
