I have been a victim of horizontal violence in nursing school from an RN Instructor who has targeted me since the begining of the program. One year left, and I get suspended. This instructor has verbally abused me in front of classmates, degrades classmates during clinicals in front of the other nurses, and her lies are what has ultimately got me suspended. I have an attorney and am apealing, however, this is the end of my career if something doesn't change. I'm an honor student, in my 40's, and have never experienced this type of evil, malicious, and manipulative behavior. I have been devestated since all of this has been allowed to happen. I have reported her behavior 4 times before a story was concocted to get me suspended. Nothing was ever done, it was totally ignored. I have looked high and low for nursing student advocates and have not found any. Does anyone have any wisdom they can offer?
