Oh my, your instructor was way out of line and unprofessional. That being said, you just need to get through the next 4 clinicals. Try to buck up and keep a stiff upper lip. It is not really worth attempting to talk with this instructor...she won't "hear" you anyway. What you can do is give an HONEST evaluation of her post clinical. Do you know if she has a reputation of this type of demeaning of a student? If yes, then you can go to the Dean of Nursing at your college and make a formal complaint. They are required to address the situation with the instructor. Other wise just do your best. Treat her like you want to be treated - with respect and just get thru to your next set of clinicals. Learn from this. Offer your insights of your day in positive tones for future post clinical discussions...I would advise against "over stating" your next pt. care experiences...this would come across as disrespectful and phoney. Unforntunetly you will run into this type of person in your nursing career from time to time...gotta learn how to let it go. Best wishes!
