Miss more then 2 days, they fail you regardless of the reason. But thats only "certain" people. I seen some miss 6-7 days and pass.

For a saline cap face down? Now your out of how much thousands of dollars.. and have to wait how long -a year? Horrible. oh yea.. i remember "failing" a lab because i didn't draw the curtain 100% of the whole way... i guess next they would say I walked in lab and say I failed because my shoes laces weren't all the way tied. After that I lost respect for the whole thing. Couldn't take much of it serious after that. I wish you luck

for some reason the laptop thing doesnt work for me

I think the people who are attacking the OP and others who support the OP, took it personal because it struck a nerve to them. The OP and summer weren't insulting or attacking anyone, but the people who took it personal, starting personally attacking specific members(such as nurse and FL did). I don't post on this forum to often(I lurk a lot) and trust me the way the OP, summer, and others feel isn't unique and there are many others who can totally identify with them.

the math is not that bad

So why is physically assaulting a correctional officer in lets say corrections or jail a felony....but attacking the nurse in the same environment apart of the job?

YES!!!

I see feelings in this thread in which women are saying "they don't like working with women, i want to work with just men". Or "Women are just like that." Men and WOMEN say women get to "emotional", "irrational". I even see the term "hoes" on this thread already. (by the way- i always chuckle on the phase bros and hoes.. kinda funny how man are called bros.a united, brotherhood term while women are coined a sexist degrading objectifying term) When asked the question why do women treat other women so bad, the answer is always that's how women are. Come on?! See thats the problem. No one can seem to dig deeper and ask WHY and why do THEY feel that way themselves? They are actually still reinforcing and contributing to the problem without even knowing it. Nursing is historically a very sexist profession. It was one of the few careers women had in the past as a job to pick from and were shut out from MANY other positions. So why when were are talking about behaviors and problems within the nursing profession no one is talking about the real root of the problem and the primary gender who make it up? If we are talking about the way women on a whole treat each other we are talking about internalized sexism. This is the base of the problem and not only in nurses but in women on a whole period. This type of behavior is learned and reinforced by a oppressive patriarch system. See- Once you understand and research internalized sexism and the effects it has on women and how and why they treat each other it makes it very clear. Its not the women that are the problem, its the effects of external sexism they have internalized that is the problem. The sad part about it is, even though most will deny it to the day they die, women still actively participate in sexism and keep it a on going structure whether they realize it or not. Since this is a nursing board, and we are talking about the nursing "profession" the only way to truly change and understand why women treat each other they way they do and ALLOW themselves to be treated in this abusive "profession" is WOMEN really need to change themselves psychologically. When they do they will stop protecting patriarchy and stop giving power to these sexist oppressive systems. If we are talking about passive aggressive behavior in nurses, doesn't it make sense that the majority of the women who make up this field are like that because it is taught that women should NOT be assertive? I wonder where they learned and internalized this sexist behavior from? Men can be upfront and verbally aggressive, though? the only way to change the actions, attitudes, problems within the profession the PEOPLE in it have to CHANGE. The people make the profession.

WOW! I seen the same thing happen in clinical to a student in my group.HE just SNATCHED the chart out her hands, and TOSSED it on the bed near her after he was done! .

Your new, your learning no one is born with anything. Everyone started where you are starting. If you remember that you'll go along way.

I know this all to well. I seen it happen to so many people around me
