I don't have a reply I have a question. Does anyone think the whole nursing shortage starts in the schools, that alot of would be nurses are discouraged right from the begining by there instrutors in nursing school. I have had 5 clinical instuctors and only one of them has been professional. I have also talked to other students from different schools. We all say the same thing we are belittled, made to feel stupid, expected to be mind readers, If we are not quick enough, IVs grabbed out of our hands, asked questions about things we were never taught intimadated, screamed at, threatened. I think we better look at the beganing and where it all starts. I am trying to find some one to do an article on this is there anyone out there?

My dauther had to have a C section at Magee, which went fine. But she wanted to breast feed, they gave my grandson a bottle in the delivery room and because she was sleepy because of the drugs they continued to give him bottles he ended up with nipple confusion and would not nurse we had to hold his head on her breast he would scream an scream and would not nurse. Magee I thought would have more experence in breast feeding but they don't. I am a student nurse and I will be doing a rotation there and it will be real hard to keep my mouth shut.

I am starting as a Student tech on Monday at a Va. hospital. What exactly is required of a Student tech.
