I'm looking for some advice... I have almost made it to the end of my med-surg clinical rotation and the instructor is threatening to leave a bad review on my evaluation for things I don't feel I've done wrong... The second weekend of clinicals she reported to the med-surg teacher that I was "inappropriate and disrespectful". When I met with the teacher, he told me he didn't even feel like I'd done anything wrong in what she told him happened but that he had to have a conversation with me anyway. Well that's fine and all, we cleared it up and I apologized (even though I did not feel like I'd done anything wrong). Last weekend (week 4) I asked my instructor if my performance had improved (because I want to do everything I can to learn as much as I can and to well, pass). She flat out told me "you're annoying and when you get out into the real world you will be eaten alive". All I do at clinicals that could be deemed "annoying" is ask questions. I thought that's what I was supposed to do. I am there to learn. I show up on time (usually at least 10 minutes early because I'm anal retentive like that), prepared, and ready to go. I do everything I am supposed to do before she has a chance to ask me if I've done it. I am willing to try to do anything that needs to be done (even though I have yet to successfully start any IVs :/). I help my peers when they need me. I do everything I know to do. And I have had nurses on the floor tell me I'm doing great. This instructor is the only person who's told me I am not doing well. I just need some advice as to how to handle my last day with her in two weeks. Right now I want to quit. All because of her and her mean words. :/ Thanks for your opinions in advance guys!

I will be attending JSU (in Alabama). Classes start on August 29th and I'm shaking in my boots. I got out of my two years of pre-req's with a 3.77. And I had to google TEAS test because we weren't required to take any form of exam prior to applying. JSU's nursing school is a GPA only type of a deal. Which is really stressful!!! I do not have anything yet so if anyone has any good online places for supplies I'm all ears!!! Good luck to all the new students out there!
