Nope not Knoxville

Hey guys I have a question / situation that I would like your honest feedback on. We were on the floor for clinical and one of my fellow classmates was having a bit of a rough patch with a Doctors writing aka instructions specific to a patients care. She went to ask her clinical instructor and she was not available at that moment so she went to ask the primary nurse on the floor who flew though the instructions and walked off (now she is starting to feel panic and over her head). Now she is frustrated but keeps on trying. The instructor came back and then brow beat her for asking the primary nurse any questions and basically tells her she should understand and sees no big deal. At this point communication has all but shut down so the instructor tells her "you are wasting my time" (now the few of use that are around are in shock and are not being very good friends because we are running for cover). The student they says I am sorry and turns to walk away and the instructor reaches up, grabs her pony tail and pulls her back. (yup no exaggeration) Now at this point I would have blown up but my fellow student to her credit just said she was sorry again and listened to the lecture (which made no sense:banghead: ). I know we all have those days and but really? I don't know that she will say anything because of fear of repercussions. What do you think or any advice? Some background we are in the 2nd semester of our JR year in a 4 yr BSN program. This is the Med Surg rotation and the student is really easy going and I would guess rank in the upper 25% of our class. Thanks!

Honestly if I did not have a strong relationship I don't know that I would make it through my BSN program. He works extra shifts bartending @ a job he HATES and still manages to cook, pay all the bills and clean. (yes I am so very spoiled :)) He holds me when I stress out and makes a big deal out of every exam I pass! I know I am lucky but I like to say it out loud whenever I get a chance.

smyrna was once considered rural but no longer. it has a large regional medical center www.stonecrestmedical.com and many of the benefits of a medium size city. cost of living is less than neighboring nashville but only a 20 min commute to the downtown areas. it also about 15 minutes north of murfreesboro which has plenty of shopping and eating opportunities. housing in smyrna ranges from economical to upscale and there is a heavy commuter population for both nashville and murfreesboro. overall not a bad place and the cost of living is not too bad. www.townofsmyrna.org lived there and murfreesboro for about 4 years and i am in my 3rd year at mtsu in the nursing program. hope this helps a little. patti “onerzray”
