  1. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    I have read and do appreciate those answering the original question. I just find it odd the extent to which people choose to argue based entirely on assumptions they are making. I was also shocked...

  2. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    ixchel, I could say that, based on what you have said, you should have been failed by your nursing instructors. That is a childish thing to say. I have misinterpreted nothing that you have said. If we...

  3. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    This person was clearly implying that I had said that I had been discriminated against based purely on what my patient had said. So I think the two of you should get your stories straight before...

  4. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    Sorry, Kylam; I didn't mean that literally "everyone's" posts were disturbing. I simply was referring to what I saw as the consensus in the thread. I have tried arguing my case with the school and...

  5. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    So your whole judgement against me is that I should have rolled-over in some imaginary situation that never occurred where my instructor was falsely accusing me of something and I spoke-up and argued...

  6. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    What? Why would she mention the procedure that was mentioned in the original post but not mention the inability to get along with people if that was a real reason? Is she afraid that students will...

  7. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    I wasn't really trying to make a thread about my particular situation, but since you asked about it particularly, I had asked my instructor a number of specific questions about her expectations...

  8. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    The only example from my situation that was mentioned by me was identified by word as an, "example." I never stated, "This is every detail of my situation." In order to appease you, let me also share...

  9. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    In spite of your "sensing" of 'me' directly, which implies supernatural ability . . . I sense that you didn't read the original post, which explained how the specific issues I was bringing up related...

  10. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    If getting along with people was relevant to my situation, as was not stated by either me or my instructor, but you apparently have the right to assume and retroactively insert that judgment against...

  11. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming you mean, "Political skills are very much 'a part' of nursing," not, "Political skills are very much apart from nursing," as either interpretation would be equally plausible based on your...

  12. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    If political skills are what nursing is all about: (1) How have you provided better care to a patient by having "political skills" or how is it that "political skills" are more important than the...

  13. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    So . . . usually it is the student's fault for not realizing what (besides being a good nurse) the instructor is looking for. If the student is doing everything that is asked of him or her and being a...

  14. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    I find everyone's responses to be very disturbing as a whole. I was not expecting that response when I suggested 'what if a female medical student was expelled because a male patient refused to work...

  15. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    I have not been "snippy." I am merely trying to bring the conversation back to the question that was originally asked, which is regarding the general practices in nursing schools and whether or not it...

  16. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    So if a female medical student you knew was kicked out of medical school because a male patient refused to work with a female, you would tell her that was totally justified and she shouldn't be a...

  17. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure if the prejudice against me was based purely on my gender. I don't really care. It is possible the instructor didn't like me because of my personality. It is possible my instructor didn't...

  18. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    kissmyasn, that is more what I'm curious about: the arbitrary nature of these things. The discrimination aspect is just a small part of what appears to me to be a bigger problem. I know of one female...

  19. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    I wasn't asking anyone to comment on whether or not my situation was justified. That is why I focused on the general tendencies of my school instead of focusing on my particular case. I'm not saying...

  20. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the reply, ixchel. I think you may have misunderstood my point in bringing up that procedure. My point was not that the patient had discriminated against me or that patients "don't have...

  21. Is this typical of a nursing school? Arbitrary failings, and discrimination

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    It is true that it is impossible to know all the details from a short post like this. I do, however, disagree with your suggestion that it would be appropriate for an instructor to fail a student...

  22. How to do a cold call.

    Capp posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm going to try reaching out to facilities that are not advertising to see if they have positions. What's the best way to do this generally? Should I just show up with my resume and ask to talk to...

  23. How to do a cold call.

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks for the reply. That sounds like a good approach. I'll try

  24. False accusations.

    Capp posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work as an LPN at an assisted living facility while I'm in school to be an RN. I got a call over the radio Sunday that a grumpy family member wanted to complain to someone about his father's care...

  25. False accusations.

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The fire department arrived in several minutes, but for some reason they didn't send an ambulance at first but just a fire truck. Then after they were there for 10 minutes they called for an ambulance...
