Hi I'm new on the block. I need some quick answers. I am in my second year of ADN, with less than one year to go. I really feel defeated! After clinicals yesterday I feel that no matter how much I put into this, I am inadequte!!!! I received a "needs improvement" for clinicals yesterday and have a ton of work due next week. I don't know if I want to spend any more energy just to get shot down again at clinicals next week.I live in Northeast Ohio and I understand that the nursing instructors are very much the same, at all schools here. They are very uncaring and are never encouraging. There were several students crying in post-coference yesterday and one was me! I figured 1st and 2nd semester they are trying to weed out people and I hoped 3rd and 4th semester the instructors would have a little more empathy. I thought there was a world shortage of nurses!!!! Must not be in Northeast Ohio!!! There was not even enough students that returned from 1st semester (spring of 2007) to warrant the normal 2 instructors at the Cleveland Clinic this semester! Are there any caring, compassionate, HUMAN, nursing instructors out there? If so, I'm thinking I would like to continue my education at that scool!!!!!!!!!! I am 48 y/o, have a 3.77 average and if all nurses are like the instructors in Northeast Ohio, I don't want to be a part of that!!!! I am a flight attendant right now (with 28 plus years), and I am beginning to like my job more and more after the last 2 weeks! I love caring for my clients but not at the risk of me being so stressed that it makes me sick. Thanks for reading and commenting. I really need some answers!!!!!!!!!
