In first semester we practiced fingerstick and wheals on each other....the wheals were voluntary. In 3rd semester when we went over IVs, the first day we practiced on plastic arms but the second day we had to do it on each other or we didn't go to clinical. Our teacher said the fear and anxiety we were experiencing was how the patient felt before a procedure and he wanted us to know how that felt and how the anxiety increased waiting for your turn.

I just need to rant and rave! I spend days and hours working on these careplans for school. I'm turning in 20 & 30 page careplans and when evaluation comes I get absolutely no credit for anything I've done. "It's Not Good Enough" is what I was told. As far as my performance in clinicals the adjunct had nothing to say about me to my instructor so he jumped on me and made it sound like I haven't done anything. When I've been on the floor I've always been told that I was doing a good job. What the crap???? It's like all you get from these people is a hard time. Now I see why so many people dropped because of the way the instructors treat you. I don't expect to babied by no means, but don't tell me I'm doing a good job and then go back to my instructor and act like I haven't performed!!
