    mean clinical prof

    noyesno replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't trust her. From my experience, it's always better to ask fellow classmates or the nurses you are working with in clinical. Try not to bother the nurses too much though. I only go to my...

    How not to get ****** at clinical?

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    I agree, she is human. I actually like this lady and have not written her off as a bad clinical instructor. I think she did not know what to do and chose the worst option as the solution. I guess I...

    How not to get ****** at clinical?

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    Great advice! Thank you! I'll do some deep breathing. During my non-nursing undergrad I was a stress management peer educator. I'll start utilizing some of the techniques I taught. I do a lot of...

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    She is very familiar with the computer system. She has been going to this clinical site for years and they have been using the computer system for quite some time. She did not mention anything about...

    How not to get ****** at clinical?

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    I almost mentioned something about the hemovac being thrown in the regular garbage in my original post but I didn't want to get too long winded. As she dumped that thing in there on top of my...

    How not to get ****** at clinical?

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    Yes she did. Last semester I was all Bob Marley, "get up, stand up: stand up for your rights!" and that did not work out the best for me because my instructor always won. About midway through the...

    How not to get ****** at clinical?

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    An apology would have been nice! Practicing my anger management is a good way to look at this situation. That sounds like a good plan, to write up what happened and submit it following graduation. I...

    RyanT, Thanks for your reply. I totally agree that being assertive like you describe above is a great way to go. Unfortunately, last semester, I took the approach you described above and my clinical...

    noyesno replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    I've cried in clinical four times and I am in my fourth semester. One of these times was last week. It was my first day of clinical and I got really overwhelmed with the computer charting and my drug...

    Do you call your teachers by their 1st names?

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Students

    The first day of class, our instructors always introduce themselves with the name they like to be called. We don't have to guess, which is nice. If we were left to guess, I would just ask their...

    CPR! quick question!

    noyesno replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    From my experience, you always apply the AED the minute it is available when a person does not have a pulse. Rarely would the AED be right next to the unconscious person, so, I bet under most...

    Psych rotation

    noyesno replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    I just finished my four week psych rotation today and I really liked it. I was at a long term psych facility and the majority of our clinicals were spent socializing with the residents (we played a...

    student with vasovagal problems

    noyesno replied to pabrocc's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student with the same problem. So far, I'm averaging one fainting episode per semester (and I'm in my last semester now). I know it is something I can get over with repeated exposure to...

    Despite my asthma and allergies, I made a point to observe the 9:00 am smoke break at the facility yesterday. Here is how it goes: -The residents line up -The psych techs bring out a box with about...

    Thank you everyone for your feedback. :) It was very interesting to read the responses to my question. I'm glad these practices aren't common at other

    Psych, sex, and cigarettes

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    I wish they smoked outside... Today at clinical, I was informed they offer the women DepoProvera shots and they also have condoms available. Makes me feel a little bit better but the consent issue is...

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    I understand and agree with what you are saying. I updated my post: "I realize I shouldn't have just assumed the cigarettes were all coming from Medicaid. I'm not exactly sure how they pay for them...

    noyesno replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear about your son's injury. That is interesting that he still requested cigarettes in his condition. Nicotine is powerful stuff. Short story: My mom is a nurse. Back in the '70s, she...

    Its very interesting to hear about your facility. I wonder if the facility I am at offers smoking substitutes to the residents or Chantix. It doesn't seem like they are doing anything but encouraging...
